MANAGER COCKILL IS BUSY MAN PLANNING DETAILS-SEEKS ISLAND LEASE
COCKILL IS BUSY;
SEEKS NEW LEASE
Will Start Work at Island as
Soon as Weather Condi
tions Permit •
One busy man to-day was Manager
George Cockill. Several important de
tails required his attention and he was
on the move morning and afternoon.
It was late when Manager Cockill ar
rived and he will make up for lost
time. He will remain here until plana
are in good shape and it is time to
start the training season.
One of the tlrst things looked after
was the re-!easing of Island Park.
•Manager Cockill sent in his application
to Council early and a favorable reply
was looked for. As soon as the new
lease is closed work will start on a
number of improvements to the grand
stand and bleachers.
Meets llailroad Officials
Another important conference to
day was between Manager Cockill and
officials of the Motive Power Athletic
Association of the Philadelphia di
vision of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
All home games in the Pennsy League
will be played at Island Park. This
will mean a conflict in some of the
Saturday dates, but it is understood
that a satisfactory arrangement has
been outlined and local fans will be
benefited. Harrisburg will also go
after other game transfers as the
schedule is not very favorable to the
local team.
Manager Cockill said he bad about
30 players under consideration, but
would not be able to make any definite
announcement for a few days. He will
start his campaign for support as soon
as to-day's work was completed. He
bas met with much encouragement to
date.

Bacteria flourish in heat and moisture. If you

The average cellar is cool, not cold, and is fairly,

cannot possibly be germless, to strike a roof which
affords millions of hiding places for bacteria.
Warm air rises, cold air falls, the rising and fall

: Lines to Our Uncle Samuel
He maybe ponderous, thick and slow,
' And somewhat heavy upon his feet;
s He may not know where he wants to go
, When they push him out on a sudden beat;
But, once stirred up by the rolling drums
And crowded into the sunshine game,
it When the time is due and the showdown comes
s He usually gets there just the same,
o
He may be soft and he may be fat;
r , He may be shj on the batting eye:
;. i No crowd may cheer as he comes to bat
ill And swings away with a half-baked try;
>"| But, once tossed into the seething muss,
v I And the time arrives for a steady aim,
a He may be clumsy and ponderous,
But the old boy gets there just the same.
It is still a question as to which would make the best grenade thrower —a !
\ ball player, a shot putter or a hammer tosser.' A grenade weighs about five
J pounds—a weight somewhat too bulky to permit of the ball player's snap,
11 throw. It might be better to round upthe John Flannigans and Matt McGraths, ]
c | rather than the Walter Johnsons and Alexanders.
I.; Cleveland and Joe Wood
* There is small wonder extant over Cleveland's interest in the pitching con
' j dition of Smoke-Bail Joe Wood. . .
J I If you ever care to examine the records you will find that among those who
,; have pitched 100 or more major league games Wood ranks next to Alexander
°| in winning effecti\ eness. Given a pitcher of 'his type back in shape, and i
Cleveland would not only be a pennant contender, but a very stout pennant
I possibility. The Wood-Speaker combination made the Red Sox invincible in
I 1912 and the same pair could very easily make the Indians decidedly annoy
c j ing in 1917.
Another Entry List
' * I
0 Sir: We might not have any great grenade throwers in this country, but
' we should be fixed for pegging over the heavy bombs if our leading bull
1 ! tossers are ever lugged into action. In this respect we should be ready j
e 3,000,000 strong, and that is a conservative estimate.
3 j PEDRO THE DOC. j
It must be soothing, at that, to have a nature like unto Les Darcy's. where;
ithe prospect of a ten round affair the proper financial adjustment is of far |
more interest than all the wars that iver were, are or will be.
Concerning April Showers
t They may be great for the flowered pots,
But they're roughasell on the mashie shots.
f "A 1 Germany wants is a part of Northern France, Serbia and $3,000,000,000." I
i'l And all Connie Mack wanted last year for a winning ball club were three
1 infielders, two outfielders, three pitchers and another catcher.
Detroit and Pitchers
i We observe one critic's remark that Hughey Jennings could have won a
, I pennant last season with any other pitching staff in the major league.
-1 With the exception of Connie Mack's erratic staff, this is probably true.
? And the tough part of it is that just at present there is no certainty that j
f' Hughey's staff will he greatly improved. He has prospects, but prospects pop
j) up in the Spring much after the manner of morning glories, only to fade under
the first hot sun. In Harry Coveleskie the Tigers have a star. But outside
1 j of the left-winged Pole no one can point to another pitcher on the squad as a
first class product. Dauss should be, but so far has never reached the expected
< height. One or two of his youngsters look very good, but a weak pitching
s staff tossed in against Ruth, Shore, Leonard and Mays, or Shawkey, Caldwell,
. Cullop Fisher, etc.. puts the rest of the Tiger machine under an abnormal
; 1 handicap.
i The Tiger attack last year averaged an extra run to the game over the
-1 Red Sox. This daily margin against all competition should have been over
; I whelming. But where the Tigers were making five runs and losing, the Red
. | Sox were making three runs and winning. You can figure from these sordid
- j details just how pitching counts.
The Proper Move
1 i A few days ago a certain ten per cent, score golfer topped his drive on the
| sixth hole at Druid's Hills, and then proceeded to slice his second 100 yards oft
. ' line into a cornfield.
' j He came up to George Adair later on for advice. "What should I have
\ done under those conditions?" he asked Mr. Adair.
i "Just what did you do'."' eagerly countered the expert.
"I lost my ball." replied the duffer.
' I "You did exactly right." said George. "That's what a man who slices 150
g yards off the course should do every time."
"! "Are there any bald-headed ball players now in the major league?" queries
* R. R. F. None of the glistening domed variety, but no one would ever accuse
" Dick Randolph of having a matted covering upon his well known and justly
' celebrated crest.
.' i. The last bewhiskered athlete we ever saw play was Tacks Parrot, in 1901.
' Tacks completed that campaign with a heavy beard and a batting average
'of .307. But the great yelp which went out for speed and youth sent
the bewhiskered entries on a rush for the barber. Not that whiskers
' are a handicap to speed, but they have never been accused of producing
r i an excessively useful appearance.

CLASS COLLEGES
FOR RELAY RACES
Perm's Spring Carnival Prom

terest in Track Games
Philadelphia, April 3. Now that
the team entries for Pennsylvania's
great two-day relay carnival on April,
27 and 28 are in, the management is
able to make the final grouping for 1
the various class races. With much
difficulty it was found possible to ar
range the classes so that the same
number of races will be held as last
year, in addition to the colleges found
below in the class events, the following
colleges have entered for the Amer
ican championship relay races at the
various distances, or in a few cases
merely in the special events: Yale,
Harvard. Princeton, Cornell, Dart
mouth. Michigan, Chicago, Illinois,
Misouri, Wisconsin, Notre Dame, Pur
due, Columbia. Syracuse, Holy Cross,
Pennsylvania State, Kansas. Indiana,
Nebraska, Grlnnell and Pennsylvania.
In all, over 100 college teams will
compete. No other set of games has
ever had more tljan thirty colleges In
attendance, so that the real importance
and magnitude of the relay carnival
stands out most prominently by com
parison, especially when it is also con
sidered that over 250 school teams
will be in the events reserved for
them during the two days of the
carnival.
The final grouping of the class races
is as folows:

"Iko" Kline, a llarrisburg boy who has been winning laurels with local
teams for several seasons will try for a place on • Reel'' Calhoun's Wilkes-Barre
team in the New York State heague team. He will leave to-day on a visit to
friends in upper end of county at Sunbury and points north. Un Siindav Kline
will go to Wilkes-Barre.
As third baseman and captain, Kline, last season was a big star on the

O'Neill is positive that he will have the

star chief makes this claim on the
fact that Madden is a natural in

best advantage in the outer works,
and that Ray Evans belongs at third,
not second base. Mike figures' that
Madden and Evans will both hit bet

Quinn will prove the best first sacker

that this performance was regarded as
one of the best in his career. In his

he was made of the right mettle, and
since then his friends have been tout

the one best bet for a bout with Wil
