GEORGE COCKILL'S CREW GETS POOR START AT HOME—-JACKSON'S COLONELS WIN
HARRISBURG LOSES OPENER
TO JACKSON'S COLONELS;
MATTESON STAR TWIRLER
Manager George CockiU put the
weather jinx out of business yester
day and the first New York State
League game at home was played at
Island Park. That other bad luck
demon the "hit jinx," is still with
the team, and Elniira walked away
with the fourth consecutive victory,
score 5 to 2.
It was a very gratifying opening
considering the chilly weather, and
the fact that local fans have been
up against disappointment in an ef
fort to see an pening. The crowd
numbered less than tiOO. The game
was interesting and the general be
lief among the spectators was that
Manager CockiU has a team that
will be setting a pace before another
fortnight. .
I'sual Street Parade
The usual parade attracted much
interest and aroused the fans to ac
tion. At Island Park a patriotic
program showed a big crowd of local
citizens. Following a parade of the
teams over the field there was a flag
raising. The procession was headed
by Umpire Johnson. Captain Doc
Cook, Manager Jimmy Jackson and
Secretary Frank Seiss.
They marched to the flagpole in
left field where Chief Quartermaster
XV. E. Quirk, and J. J. Boyle, of the
local naval recruiting station hoisted
Old Glory. The next big feature wasi
the tossing of the first ball by Presi- J
dent Judge George Kunkel, and the
game was on.
Matteson Has Puzzlers
Harrisburg was unable to hit
Matteson, who fanned eleven men.
Keefer went into the air in the sixth.
Barnes, a southpaw, showed speed
and puzzlers. The hitting of Demoe
and Harrison's home run were in- 1
teresting features. The story of the
game follows:
Game By Innings
First Inning—Elmira up. Bellang

JOHNNY GILL TO
MEET BRITTON
Loo liouck in Good Shape
For Battle With Levinsky
at York
York, May 11. —j- Dan Morgan,!
manager of two world's champions,
Battling Levinsky, the light heavy- ,
weight, and Jack Britton, the welter
weight, is surely a busy man in ad- ,
dition to the two title holders, Mor- !
gan has fourteen other boxers on his
list, and not a night slips by that '
Dan hasn't one or his men boxing j
in some part of the country. His |
two headliners are continually on j
the jump.
Levinsky, who meets Leo liouck !
next Wednesday, night at the York,
Operat house, has fought more bat- I
ties than any boxer now in the j
tforld.
Britton After Gill
Monday night in New York Jack i
Britton beat Mike O'Dowd, his near- !
est rival for welterweight honors,and
Barrett is pulling for Britton to win
in every instance, as he has clinched
a match between Britton and Johnny
Gill to be settled before the local
club. "Bully" McCarthy, manager
of Eddie Hanlon, Gill's opponent in
the coming show, knows of the Brit
ton and Gill match being made, and
is continually claiming that Barrett's
protege will be a much disfigured
and disappointed boy when Hanlon
gets through with him and he will
surely knock all the desire out of
Gill to meet Britton for the world's
title.
Barrett was a spectator Monday
night in Lancaster when Leo Houck
beat Jackie Clarks, and felt much
elated over the showing of Houch,
as Clarke recently beat Jeff Smith in
fifteen rounds, and Smith is the same
fellow who stopped Les Darcey, the
great Australian, in live rounds.

Conway Cuts Baseball;
War Prevents Full Season
Carlisle, Pa., May 11.—At a meet
ing last evening it was decided to
forego all spring sports at Conway
Hall and close the oaseball season to- t
morrow with the game with Millers- ;
burg Normal here. The action came ;
following discusslo-i and arguments I
among the students. Just' a week)
ago It was decided to continue, but j
in view of the setbacks caused by i
cancellations and the interest of the
ball players being turned to mili
tary activity rather than to their |
game, it was considered to the best I
interests of all to close now.
Conway has lost but few so far by
enlistment. The institution has no i
provision for scholarship credits to
men going to the army or farms and
the majority are below the draft
age so that many will remain at j
the school until the end, although I
others have quit scnool to enlist.
No action was taken on the ques-
