MINERS WIN IN EARLY DRIVE OFF RAMSEY—NO HELP FROM FELLOW FIELDERS
COCKILI/SCREW
HARD LOSERS
Ramsey Is Real Twirler After
Second Inning; Errors
Prove Costly
"Saliva Slants," pitted against >
"Veteran Yollies," save local fans ■
something to talk about in a ball |
game yesterday. Harrisburg lost to j
Scranton, score 3 to 1. It ought to'
have been a score of I to 0 for Har- i
risburg, with a probability of a no- j
hit game for "Buck" Ramsey, the
veteran twirler. But things do not
always happen the way they should.
. Ramsej had as his opponent Keeley, j
The latter used a "spitter." It was ,
working successfully yesterday. The
local hill artist had a whole lot of j
things that were better, but he did |
not show them until after the second
inning. Harrisburg hit the ball, but
lacked bingles in bunches. Scranton i
had all they could do to get at the|
slants offered by "Buck." There i
was also ancyher reason why the |
Miners counted three runs.
Players Out of Game
Downey was not on third base. !
He was called home to Bridgeport,'
'onn., by death. Elliott was not at
short. He was called back to college
to get his marks that will bring him
a diploma later on. Holmes played
a good game and is likely to do bet
ter to-day. Boley lost opportunities .
at short. However, ail the miscueg
happened during the first two in
nings. It was a battle royal after
that and the game was full of thrills. |
Purtell's single to center, sacrifice I
by Brenner and Strait's single to
center brought one run for the
Miners in the first. Midkiff's double
to center, an error by Boley. on
"Walsh's hit. Crossin's hit. forcing out
"Walsh. Sherry's sacrifice, Keeley's hit
to second, forcing a runner, and a
pass by Purtell and single by Bren
ner resulted in two runs in the sec-1
ond for the Coughllnites.
Harrisburg scores
Ramsey was hit by a pitched ball
in the third. Holmes' forced hit.
Cook's pass. Brown's forced hit and

TUESDAY EVENING,"
PRESIDENT JOHN K. TENER
FAVORS DAYLIGHT SAVING;
BIG HELP TO BASEBALL
PRESIDENT JOHN K. TENER
President John K. Tenor, of the
National League, Is a strong advo
cate of (he proposed daylight saving
plan. He believes it will be a great
benefit to baseball. In a recent issue
of the Baseball Magazine he says:
"The general merits of the propo
sition are conceded on every hand;
Indeed, 1 have yet to hear person
ally or have the information con
\eyed to me that the "daylight sav
ing plan' has been seriously opposed
by any person, society or corpo
ration. Perhaps there are those who
have or will oppose such a propo
sition from the standpoint of per
sonal interest, but I apprehend that
compared with the almost universal
approbation which the scheme seems
to have, any opposition that may de
velop against its adoption in this
country will be slight and entirely
lack concerted action.
"It requires only a moment's
thought for one to realize that there
are many viewpoints from which this
question may be discussed in aWdition
to the three cardinal divisions of
economy, efficiency and health which
almost instinctively suggest them
selves.
\ot a Now Thing
"We all know that the subject
is not a new one. It has been dis
cussed and argued for fully a quarter
of a century in this country, hut it
often takes heroic measures or tragic
events to overcome precedent and
tradition when innovations and un
tried theories are advocated for ac
tual practice. This was the case of
daylight saving in Europe where a
terrible war wrought such a change
almost without discussion and cer
tainly with little opposition.
"The subject of 'Daylight Savins'
should appeal strongly to e,very man,
woman and child who loves the open,
who finds the greatest charm in life
that of seeking recreation outdoors,
whether this recreation is a partici
pation in some form of physical ex
ercise that has sport as-its basis or
whether it be from the mental pleas
ure and stimulation derived from
witnessing some sort of athletic ac
tivity.
Physical Recreation
"It is generally admitted that the
best means of obtaining physical
recreation is to seek and cultivate
some outdoor sport. The inclination

"Get set. Ready. Go!"
This will be a familiar cry at
Island Park Thursday. For a year
young athletes have been preparing
for the big event. There is only one
of the kind. It is held in Harris
burg each year and is known as the

Members of the Harrisburg Track
Athletic Committee met last night in
the offices of the Harrisburg Park

| by youth and adult Is as lod as the
| world. This was true in Greece and
! later in Rome when the great empire
was in outward form a republic. In
i our modern day the greatest sport-
I loving people in the universe are
those of the English-speaking race,
on which the sun never ceases to
shine and in whom the spirit of lib
erty is more strongly implanted than
in any other people since the dawn
of creation.
"The American game of baseball
never has had an equal as an out
door sport and It is hardly conceiv
able that it ever will. It seems that
this game of our own invention in
cludes and embraces every essential
that stimulates the mind, re-creates
tho exhausted faculty, amuses the
jaded sense, revives the sluggish
j blood, makes strong the weak mus
] ele and impels a vigor and health to
jthe body that no other form of ex
; ercise combing the element of sport
jean accomplish.
Popular In n Day
It became popular almost in a day,
was by common and universal con
sent and indeed mandate, dedicated
as our national game. Not by acci
dent is it so-called, nor is it a mis
r<midr. It has increased in popular
ity and gained in volume of compe
tition and interest as the years have
rolled on until its future immensity
cannot be foretold.
Thousands of young Americans
engaged in the game of baseball
either as a means of pleasurable ex
ercise and recreation or as a means
of honorable livelihood, while mil
lions witness the playing of games,
both professional and amatuer.
All professional games are played
under what is known as organized
baseball, a system that represents
the consummation of fifty years'
work by the most able and far-see
ing men who have been identified
with the sport in that period of time.
This system has placed baseball up
on a solid and enduring basis, ife in
tended to widen its scope to the
largest possible national extent and
to make It tho typical and represent
ative sport of the American people.
System for Conservation
It is in essence a vast system for
the conservation and. protection of
investment, for the steady and lu
crative employment of a small army
of athletic Americans and for the
maintenance of the absolute integ
torv of the sport of any nation. Tear
ization, its legislation and exposition,
and in all these respects it lives up
to its ideals and fulfills its purposes
to a degree unexampled In the his
tory of the spora of any nation. Tear
down the fabric cf organized base
ball and chaos reigns in your na
tional game.
A vast part of the world's work
is accomplished by the aid of day
iight. This is nature's provision to
assist us in our daily tasks. And
the same is true of our outdoor
sports, amusements and recreations.
Most of them are played and enjoy
ed while the sun is shining.
Any device or method that can
add to the sum of human happiness,
enjoyment, amusement and recrea
tion in God's free sunlight and pure
air should receive the aid and sup
port of the great mass of people, and
I take it that the proposition under
discussion will have the effect of giv
ing us one hour more of daylight
during the summer months, when
the call of the open is irresistible,
and that millions may find more
time for the physical and mental en
joyment derived from every form of
outdoor sport and amusement that
is permissible only during daylight
hours."

THE OLD, OLD TURN
"I inten.d to retire from the game in a few months as tho unbeaten
lightweight champion."—Freddie Welsh, April 5.
J Unbeaten Champion!
That's the old dream,
Old as the suns
Or the red stars that gleam;
Old as the world Is,
Old as all time:
Old as the metre
Of this lagging rhyme.
Unbeaten Champion!
So Jeffries said
When from the highway
Of battle he sped:
That's what they all say
On through the years.
While they still dally
And look to the cheers.
Unbeaten Champion!
Each In his turn
Springs the old story
That no man can learn;
Just one more battle,
Then, out of the game;
I'nbeaten Champion?
What is his name?
ONE BY ONE
Gans—Nelson—Wolgast—Ritchie—Welsh—and now Leonard. Just
how does the new lightweight king compare with the others? This is a
query that our old pal Doc Time alone can answer.
Leonard, of course, isn't a Gans. Not yet, at least. He hasn't the
rugged capacity of Nelson, nor yet the savage, tearing-in smash of Wol
gast. He may not be one of the great lightweights, but he is very good—
and he should be quite a trifle better later on.
Just figure this in: Within a few months he knocked out two of the
best lightweights in the game—and in less than ten rounds. To turn these
two tricks he needed the punch. He can hit and he can box. There are
few who have been any faster. Whether or not he has the rugged capa
city to last as many of the others did is still to be proven. But outside of
Johnny Kilbane there is no one now at hand to *:lve him an even battle.
And it is a very doubtful matter whether or not Kilbane can master him.
A melee between these two should round out the best engagement of many
years, provided they swing in line over the 20-round trail.
THE UNBEATEN DREAM
As for remaining an unbeaten champion, retiring with the title intact—
it can't be done.
Jim Jeffries overwhelmed all opposition and withdrew. The California
bear remained away from the field for four or five years. But they lured
him back an.d he finished with his face in the resin.
Jack Johnson was another who was to retire before he was beaten.
The big Zulu* was never to know the conqueror's heel. But he, also, fell
for "the one last fight." .And against a supposedly raw product the big
black finished on his backNvith his face upturned to a Cuban sun.
There are at least three things in the way of any champion retiring un
beaten. before he is forced from the top:
1. The vanity that all champions have—the belief that they can always
win that last fight.
2. The old thrill that comes from the applause of the crowd. No man
can quite pass this up until he is driven from the top.
3. The lure of the last purse. It is no easy matter to quit when there is
apparently anywhere from SIO,OOO to SIOO,OOO waiting as an easy bit.
CONCERNING BABE RUTH .
He can hit himself,
And, to add to the glim,
He can keep the others,
From hitting him. R.D.S.
Dope is dope, but facts still remain facts. The Red Sox are a veteran
machine. Most of their athletes are well along in years or in campaigns.
This has been a rough, cold spring, where the veteran is supposed to be at
a disadvantage. Yet the Red Sox. usually a slow starting club, have drawn
the swiftest start of their historic careers. What, if any, is the snappy
reply?
Colonel Damon Runyon rises to this remark: "In naming the game's
greatest first basemarn, just how is any one going to leave out Stuffy Mc
lnn.is?" Stuffy hasn't be&n quite as great a hitter as Pop Anson and not
quite as great a fielder as Hal Chase. But he has outfielded Anson by
many miles and has outhit Chase by a number of leagues. To prove that
any single first baseman ever had anything to spare over Stuffy is enUrely
too intricate an assignment for this late In the week. #
The hoodoo, or whatsoever you may care to call it, that still pursues
the Yankee outfield is appalling. Last season Donovan, started with six
outfielders and than had to drag Rube Oldring from between the handles
of a plough. A few weeks ago he left the South with six outfielders in
rare shape, and five weeks later was forced to play a pitcher and an In
fielder along his picket range. The only answer is to try &as masks and
armor plate.

Benny Leonard Outclasses
Joe Welsh in Six Rounds
Philadelphia, Pa., June 5. —Benny
Leonard, the new lightweight cham
pion of the world, completely out
classed Joe Welsh in the windup at
the Olympia last night, the local box
er being on the defensive in every
round. There was ample evidence
in each session that the champion
did not want to inflict unnecessary
punishment on his opponent, as
there were many times when he re
fused to take advantage of the tight
places he would have Welsh in.
Many times when Leonard brought
his right hand into play Welsh was
covered up and the blows landed on
his gloves, or he was too far away
for the punch to be effective. It was
announced ffom the ring that the
match had been made at 140 pounds,
and that neither man weighed that
much. Welsh had an advantage in
height and reach.
Joe seemed timid from the start
and did not box with his usual speed.
Leonard forced the fighting and had
Welsh on the defensive from the first
round till the end of the contest.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Pittsburgh last night announced
that Manager Callahan of the Pi
rates has turned over to Bill Cough
lin, of the Scranton team, Archer
E. Reilly, an Infielder, and Marcus G.
Milltgan. a pitcher. The dispatch
says both were released on optional
agreement and will be recalled this
fall. Early in the season thero was
an announcement that a league rule
would prohibit players from signing
under an optional agreement. If the
Pittsburgh dispatch is correct, some
one ought to explain how Scranton
is entitled to the Pittsburgh players
legally.
