GOOD BASEBALL ON SCHEDULE FOR TOMORROW—IMPORTANT GAMES IN THE CITY
NEW MANAGER
AT MARYSVILLE
tWill Start With Regular
Line-up; Anxious to
Come Back
Saturday's card in the Dauphin-
Perry League contains what
promises to be interesting games.
Players on the various teams on the
hospital list have recovered from
recent injuries and the disorganized
conditions due to enlistments and
illness have been satisfactorily ad
justed. Marysville will entertain
Millersburg on the Seidel Park
grounds, Newport will be at Dun
cannon, and Halifax at Dauphin.
The rejuvenated Marysville
champs will play under the direction
of the new manager, Pat Reagan.
He will have his regular Infield, Her
man, Poffenberger, Rutter and
Moore on duty, with Ktirzenknabe
and Stees in left and center field and
'right field problematic. Manager
Pat will do the receiving himself,
but has not yet announced who will
do the pitching. Millersburg will
present its team which appears to
have struck its stride now and will
use Yarrison and Buffington as the
battery. G. Miller will be held in
reserve should Yarrison .weaken.
Dnncniinon Meets Newport
Duncannon will make desperate
efforts in the game at Duncannon to
halt the stride of the fast moving
Newport outfit. Newport has now
cleaned up seven straight games, ty
ing the record established by Mil
lersburg at the beginning of the 1915
season. Newport will use Strieker

Rosewood Hitters Were
Factors in Close Victory
Rosewood nine batted out three
hits and as many runs in the first
inning last evening, enough to win
a 3 to 2 score from the Galahads in
an Allison Hill League contest. Dur
ing the other five innings the win
ners were able to score neither a hit
nor a run.
In the meantime the losers knock
ed out five hits, but could land only
two runners across the pan. The
contest was witnessed by the largest
crowd of the season, all corners of
the lot being filled by spectators. The

WILLARD QUITS
HIS CIRCUS JOB;
MORRIS IS STAR
New York, June 15. —Jess Wil
lard, world's heavyweight champion,
severs his connection with the circus
to-morrow and Carl Morris, his fore
most rival for the title, will replace
him. It is reported that Willard is
being "let out," his drawing power
as a box office attraction having
waned because of his evident un
willingness to defend his champion
ship. Since he won the title from
Jack Johnson In Havana on April 5,
1915, he has engaged in but one bat
tle, the ten-round no-decision affair
with Frank Moran in Madison Square
Garden more than a year ago, and
almost a year after ills Cuban con
quest.
Morris is not only supplanting Wil
lard with the "BUI Show," but he is
determined to oust him from his
championship throne also. Said
Morris, discussing his plans:
"Although I am going to accept
the offer of a twenty-four weeks'
engagement wtih the circus, don't
think that I plan to retire from the
ring as Willard virtually dit*. in
serted in my contract will be a clause
releasing me any time X desire. I
am joining the circus partly for
financial and partly for publicity rea
sons. I intend to press my demands
for a championship match. The pub
licity I get with the show, I think,
will hasten the consummation of this
match. While it is pending X will be
profiting financially.
"I cannot figure how Willard can
evade this match any longer. Cer
tanly he can't say that I haven't
qualified myself for it, or that his
contract with the circus prevents him
Former Benchwarmer Now
Star in National League
A benchwarmer is the star of the
National League.
After wearing out more trousers
than shoes for three years on the
bench in the Giants' dugout, Freddie
Schupp has come into hig own and
promises a career that no southpaw
of to-day, with the possible excep
tion of "Babe" Ruth, can expect to
duplicate.
McGraw was not departing from
any precedents when he refused to
permit Schupp to start a game. Rube
Marquard, purchased from Indianap
olis at a then fabulous price, was per
mitted to .grace the bench for two
seasons after his first disastrous start
before he was allowed to go out and
"do his bit."
Prior to last summer Schupp had

from fighting. He hasn't an excuse
left now. He will either have to
fight me or permanently retire from
the ring. If he does the latter I will
claim his title and defend it against
all comers. If he agrees to a match
with me I will succeed to the cham
pionship anyway. I would rather
take it from him.
Has Confidence
"I can beat Wtllard sure little
apples are red if they leave me in
there alone and long enough with
him. In ten rounds I believe I could
lick him; in twenty rounds there
wouldn't be any doubt about the re
sult. Willard is an exceptionally
fast boxer for a man of his weight,
but he is just the kind of an oppo
nent I find easiest to 'take.' You saw
what 1 did to Fred Fulton, and I
think Fulton Is every bit as good a
boxer as Willard. That's how I get
a line on my chances with Willard.
It would be a nip-and-tuck tight be
tween Fulton and the champion. Not
a few experts declared before I
fought Fulton that Fred had better
than an even chance against Jess.
Well, if I could so esaily defeat a
man rated on a par with Willurd, I
should surely defeat Willard.
"I see that a lot of writers have
been criticising my ability as a
boxer. They say I am'just a 'gutter
fighter,' a rough, mauling son of a
gun, entirely lacking in cleverness
and science, and who wins by sheer
strength. Well, I win, and that's
good enough, isn't it? I realize that
I am not a 'master boxer' or any
thing like that, but I am not en
tirely lacking in skill."
been seen occasionally, pitching
when a game was hopelessly lost or
certainly won.
Last summer, however, Schupp
showed a reversal of form. He de
veloped control. He had found his
fast-breaking curves. Then JlcGraw
sent him to the mound.
In the drive for twenty-six consec
utive victories he won six g^roes.
His 1916 record showecWhim win
ning nine and losing six games with
a record-breaking earned run aver
age of .90 per game.
"He will not last," many critics de
clared, when the Giants went to Mar
lin this spring.
But Shupp did last, lasted far bet
ter than even his teammates ex
pected.
This year he has won six straight
games and lost one, and has allowed
.92 earned runs to each game.

GOOD GAMES ON
SATURDAY BILL
Railroad Contest at Island
Park; Big Battles For West
End and Steelton
Fans need not beg for baseball
to-morrow. Every game scheduled
promises to furnish all the thrills
necessary to prove that the national
sport is still popular. At Island
Park "Red" Owens as.d his Motive
Power aggregation will meet Tren
ton. The West End A. C. is sched
uled for a battle with Baker A. A., at
Fourth and Seneca streets, and
"Shorty" Miller's team at Steelton
will meet the crack aggregation from
Sparrows Point, Md.
The railroad game will bring to
Harrisburg a large aggregation of
rooters. Trenton has twice won the
championship, and this season as in
the past recognize the Harrisburg
contingent as their strongest oppon
ents. Manager Owens will give Eis
enberger a chance to show his abil
ity on the mound. The game starts
at 3 o'clock.
At Fourth and Seneca streets the
West End A. C. will meet Baker A.
A., of Steelton. This game is one of
the most important in the local se
ries. West End is hoping for in
creased crowds. While no regular
admission fee is charged games play
ed by the West End aggregation have
been strong attractions and worthy
of more liberal patronage. The bat
tle to-morrow starts at 3 o'clock.
Second Game at Steelton
The second game of the Bethle
hem Steel Corporation League will
be played at Steelton to-morrow,
with Sparrows Point plant team as
the attraction. The game last week
was closely contested and it took
ten innings for Bethlehem to come
through on top.
Manager "Shorty" Miller has put
the team through several hard prac
tices this week in preparation for
this week's contest, as he wants the
team to even matters in its league
standing. The lineup this week will
be the same as last, with probably
Odgen, the young twirler, occupying
the mound for Steelton.
The team in every department,
Manager Miller believes, is in good
conditipn, and with a little practice
they should carry of£ honors in the
league dujring the remainder of the
season. Many Harrisburgers last
week attended the game and the
crowd this week is expected to sur
pass that of last week, when at least
1,200 witnessed the contest.
The Hick-A-Thrifts will go to Mid
dlctown for a game with the Midrlle
town A. A. Cancellations have been
crimping the schedule of the Hick-
A-Thrifts, but now they hope to keep
going. An interesting game is look
ed for. On June 30 the local nine
will play West End A. C. Games
are wanted by • the Hick-A-Thrifts
for July 4.
"Comebacks" This Season
So Many They Become Bores
No one has been able to explain
it thus far, but it seems that a
great season for comebacks is being
had. Sport fans have reached the
point where they oniy yawn to see
in the paper that the great comeback
of this veteran or that has been the
feature of the season.
Just a few of those who have been
celebrated as the comeback wonders
of the day are Larry Doyle, Fred
Berkle, Ivan Olson, Ttollie Zeider,
Guy Morton, Eddie Cicotte, not to
mention Tub Spencer, Harry Wolter
and quite a few others.
Some of these have only gone in
for the comeback thing this season,
while others have been coming back
more than anything else for some
while. Ballplayers themselves begin
to realize that "comebacks" are be
ing a bit overdone, but it's usually
that way and there are always some
to spoil a good thing. Whoever first
thought up the comeback idea got a
big hand and now any number of
players are trying to cop his stuff.
A big league veteran can be suro
of getting the comeback cheers if
he will manage to stage a spurt and
play first rate ball for a while. Then
some sport writers will dash off lots
of new stuff about how he is playing
the game that made him a star when
he first came up from the brush. If
he slumps again no one will notice
it. Every one will be reading about
come other old bird who is skipping
about as in his youth.
At the same time there have been
an unusuail number of fast showings
' made by the game's older players
this season and if lots of the younger
ones are taken away to the wars the
old stars will have to do their best
to keep the game going.
