8 IDEAL DAY PROMISES BUSY TIMES FOR BASEBALL TEAMS—SHOOTERS' PROGRAM HARRY POLLOCK IS HARD LOSER Kefusus to Admit That Welsh Must Turn Title Over to Leonard New York. May 30.—Harry Pol lock, manager of Freddie Welsh, is sued a statement last night in which 1 he claimed that Welsh is still the lightweight champion, basing his as sertion on Utile 5 of the Marquis of Queensburg rules, which reads: "A man hanging on the ropes in a help less state with his toes off the ground shall be considered down." "Benny Leonard and his manager. Billie Gibson, are. 1 am sure, too thorough sportsmen to even consider claiming u championship based up-;; on such an erroneous interpretation of the rules under which the battle : was waged," says Pollock. "No man can dare say whuv would have been , the ultimate outcome of the contest had McPartland lived up to the ; rules and given Welsh his due in a j nine seconds count before calling ' him 'out."

The catcher was unable to hold his delivery well and this fault account ed for many of the runs scored by the winning side.

THE DOUBLE HEADER Copyright, 1917, The Tribune Association (New York Tribune). Of all sweet words (either whispered or bawled) TTlie sweetest are, "Darkness! The game is called!" —Old Flatbush Couplet. Was a time when club owners found it easy to let the sun shine in their hearts when it was cloudy—even rainy—without. That was before bad weather was the rule, not the exception. The weather topic is resurrected here only because of the bearing tlio present may have on the future chances of greater New York's major league representatives. For summer must come sooner or later, and with it a whole flock of double-headers. Against the harvest of bargain days the greatest attribute to success will be wealth, both in quality and quantity, of pitching numbers. Failure of his veteran pitchers cost McGraw a pennnnt. in 1916. He lias a twenty percent, better club now than he had a yeaar ago. The pitching 'staff should be far more reliable with the addition of Slim Sallee and the establishment of Schupp to his proper sphere. Anderson, too, having recovered his health, is becoming one of McGraw's most reliable per formers. The most critical stage of the race for the Giants will be experienced through the first long stretch of hot weather. According to how such a change affects his veteran twirlers will the succeeding light for tho Giants lljecome a simple or a complex affair. McGraw has enough promising young I material to assure pennant pitching regardless of tho behavior of any one or two of his pitching veterans, but he is ono manager who has yet for the first time to stake the issue on inexperienced men. DODGERS .VXD YANKEES Steady pitching won for Brooklyn in 1916. On Uncle Bobbie's staff were three veterans who approached the climax pretty well frayed. These were Jack Coombs, Larry Cheney and Bube Marquard. These three will have to be as good as they were last season to put the champions up in the fight, for Robbie has picked up only one additional pitching prospect, Leon Cadore Cheney, Coombs and Marquard may all respond with line weather. I Given pitching as good as in 1916, Brooklyn must carry respect. The one major league manager who above all others can relish the season of double-headers is Hill Donovan. The Yankees could double every day from now to October without overworking their pitchers. Wild Bill lias no less than ten pitchers, each capable of going the route. So far they have been in each other's way. None of them has had enough work. The unbeaten Shocker was two weeks between winning games, simply because his fellow pitchers commanded equal attention. Donovan's staff to date has proven itself the most efficient of the game. It should be better, If that is possible, through the shower of double-headers. RATTLING THE .SKELETON Cy Falkenberg, the veteran pitcher, who jumped Cleveland In his halcyon, days to cast in his lot with the Federal League, is attempting a comeback with Philadelphia. Falkenberg has just about reached the end of his career, because of the age handicap, but none of the youngsters let sentiment interfere with business. Every time he pitches the life of Falkenberg is made miserable by batters demanding that the umpires examine the ball frequently. For the tip preceded Falkenberg east that the on.e-time terror of Cleveland had effected his comeback with tho American Association by making use of the illegal "emery" ball. The return of Falkenberg seems to have stirred up all manner of suspicions against a number of the leading masters of the box. In the National League, too. !*te tip is out that several clubs carry pitchers who use the emery ball. At the Polo Grounds a few days ago Umpire Bill Klem repeatedly called for the ball which .Miller,'of the Pirates, was pitching. Giant batters, helpless before Miller's fast ball, were con vinced the pitcher had some material edve over them. RUSSELL FORD, INVENTOR Russell Ford originated the emery ball, which has since been legislated from the game. The delivery was so called because emery paper was used to roughen part of the surface. The rough part, of course, heightened the effect of air friction so that with practice a clever pitcher could make the ball break in all sorts of freakish ways. F"ord, for instance, supposedly a spitball pitcher, never used a spitter. It was the emery ball, instead, which at will he could break In either direction. When Ford jumped to the Buffalo club, of the Federal League, and Sweeney was induced to stay in New York at $9,000, Big Ed got another pal and battery mate in Bay Keating. Sweeney taught Keating the emery ball trick. The secret was too good for Keating to keep all to himself. They do say Ray told every pitcher he met. It wasn't a secret at all very long, and the first victim exposed was none other than Keating himself. Eddie Collins had Keating unmasked before a Saturday crowd at the Polo Grounds. The emery ball Is barred in the major leagues. Any one using It will be subjected to severe discipline. Alert as all players are. no trace of the evil has been disclosed. It does seem in these days of slow games that the players are allowed too great leeway In looking for the emery ball. They often try to alibi themselves with just such tricks as these. A WORD TO THE WISE One brief year ago Benny KaufT, of the Giants, was being held up to ridicule by a number of writers of the outlying districts of the National League. To-day these same scribes are not ridiculing Benjamin. Those who cannot boost a're not knocking. The fault a year ago lay with little Benny himself. Demure and mod est in. many ways, he permitted certain self-appointed managers to talk him into talking about himself. These managers hoped to exploit Kauff on the vaudeville stage and deluded Benny about the great value of New York publicity. FANS SURE OF BASEBALL TODAY No League Games, but Plenty Good Sport on Local Fields With an Ideal day for baseball, managers to-day hope to catch up in their losses for the present sea son. Itain has cut deep into profits of many owners and it is a question whether the crowds will come strong enough on warm days to make up for the rainy days. There will be plenty of baseball to-day, as well as other sports. Harnsburg fans found interest in a series of local games. Contests in the West End were exceedingly at tractive. The West End A. C. play ed the Motive Power this morning at Fourth and Sencca streets, the attendance being large. A second game was scheduled this afternoon. Railroaders Have Two Games At Sixth ano Division streets, the Firemen and Enginemen played the Jackson A. C this morning, many rooters being on hand: and are due for anotner game tills afternoon. The West Fairview Sportsmen's As played the annual battle with York Post Office at Island Park this af ternoon. Another interesting afternoon event was a baseball game at Aca demy field between the faculty and varsity nine of the Harrisburg Acad emy. The Hiek-A-Thrifts went to Shippensburg and East End A. C. to Goldsboro. Other Big Events Many Harrisburgers went out of the city. Some will see the Har risburg and Heading games at Read ing. Others are taking in the mo torcycle races at Lebanon and Potts town. Tech High school students with a large crowd left the city this morning for Easton w.here the local athletes will compete in the annual meet at Lafayette College. Shooters are having a big day. The West Fairview Sportsinn's As sociation have an all-day shoot at West Fairview, and at New Cumber land the members of the club at that place have an interestirg program.
