Full of .Joyful News Manager Cockill was just full of jcyful news, but could not tell It be cause of a censorship on the infor i.iation in his possession. He has lines on a first baseman. There will be some other changes in the line up. as the local leader is determined to have a winning team. He said In the way of explanation for lack of better showing; "I know there are weak spots. They will be fixed up. Weather con ditions have been anything but right to whip a ball team into shape. The days the team played poorly there was a tlrce bale blowing all day. It made good playing impossible. The other teams suffered too. lam slill of the opinion that with a few changes the team will get Into a winning stride and give the other teams a chase until the end of the scson."

FRIDAY EVENING, HARBISBURG TELEGRAPH MAY 18, 1017. 1 This Pitcher Is Still Showing Old Time Form ' VALTER JOHNSON, WASHINGTON Leavy's Single Brings Victory For Tech Seniors After scoring three runs against, tile Seniors in "the seventh inning yesterday, the Tech Juniors went to pieces the last halt of the inning, and before three men were retired the fourth year hoys had won, 4 to 3. Leavy's solid single drove in all the Juniors' runs. "Scrunts" Hol land struck out fourteen of his op ponents in the seven innings, and gave the victors four hits. His team mates were erratic, piling up seven errors behind him. Pollock had a timely two-bagger for the Seniors. The score: Juniors 000000 3—3 4 7 Seniors 000001 3—4 6 0 GOOD SHOW IS MONEY LOSER Tim Droney Puts It All Over A 1 Murphy; Lively Scini- Windup In the wlndup feature of one of the best boxing bills Harrisburg has had Tim Droney, of Lancaster, put It all over A 1 Murphy, of Scranton. The latter put up a plucky battle, but was outclassed and outweighed. Tim Droney's tactics were tliose of a ring veteran and he had his Scran ton opponent on the floor. He lead in every round. Both fighters showed cleverness in taking and giving pun ishment. The Lancaster lad made his punches count. I.lvely Scn>l-\Vlndup A lively bout was the semi-windup between Tommy Iliggins, of Scranton, and Pete Howell, of Philadelphia. Hig glns was the aggressor and had his opponent almost out at the finish of the eight rounds. The first round was a sparring exhibition, but from the second on no better battle was possible, each boy mixing It up. Hig gins liad Howell down in the fifth, l'rrllnilnnry Bout Herb Hunter had the best of Dave Shank in the first preliminary event. 1 he exhibition was a farce, as neither of the fighters showed any skill. The second preliminary brought a knock out for Chiefy Turjey, of Phildalphia, Lilly Waltz, of Lancaster, was his opponent. Joe Daggert, of Philadel phia was scheduled to fight but was prevented from coming by a Phila delphia matchmaker who is interest ed in a local club. The attendance was small due to the fact that there was a misunder standing regarding the dates. The local club lost money on the show but hope to make it up with the next program.
