14 GOOD GAME ON LOCAL PROGRAM FOR SATURDAY-W. 0. HICKOK WINS SHOOT—SPORTS GOOD GAMES ON SATURDAY BILL Faborable Weather Is Need ed; League Games at Island and Steelton If "Jupe Pluve" quits monkeying with the sprinkling can Harrisburg fans may expect some good baseball on Saturday. With this week's heavy rainfall baseball diamonds look like lakes. Old Sol is in a position to put the fields in shape if he shows activ ity to-morrow. One of the important semiprofes sional games is scheduled at Fourth and Seneca streets. West End A. C. will play the Hummelstown nine. This game starts at 3* o'clock. In the past four games West End has had walkaway victories, but Hum melstown will come here with a view to put a crimp in the local champs' stride. As the county representa tives from the lower end have been showing some speed a fast game may be expected. Game at Island At Island Park Manager Jack Frey and his Motive Power team will be pitted against the New York team. This battle is of importance. New York won the game last Sat urday and the local players will be out for revenge. The game starts at 3 o'clock. At Steelton Manager Shorty Mil ler and his Bethlehem League team will line up against the Fore River team. This contest will bring to Steelton one of the crack teams of the league. Play starts at 3 o'clock and it is probable that Ogden will be on the firing line. There will be no game at Ruther ford as the Harrisburg division rep resentatives are scheduled to play at St. Clair. Port Richmond thus far has been leading the Philadel phia and Reading League but dur ing the past two weeks other teams have shown a pace and the finish is likely to furnish some interesting battles. Harrisburg is showing good work. Fox Terrier Escaping From Bull Dog Lodges in Pipe Mechanicsburg, Pa., July 12. —It required tbe combined efforts of three men and advice of several doz en bystanders to rescue Patch, the little fox terrier dog of a local mail cial owner, little George Hershman, Jr. in an effort to escape from a bull dog, ran for refuge into a sewer pipe at the corner of West Coover and South Frederick streets, last night. Neighbors witnessed the scene and assisted the owner to extricate the animal, who was so tightly wedged in the mud in the pipe as to be unable to move. Finally the men dug up the street, smashed the pipe and after an hour's work brought out a much draggled, sad eyed dog, but who almost went wild with joy when restored to his spe cial owner , little George, Jr. President Farrell Lauds Players and Owners Syracuse, July 12.—John H. Far rell, president of the New York State League, has finished compiling the schedule of the six clubs now in the league. Mr. Farrell said: "The State League club owners have again demonstrated their high class, courageous sportsmanship by making necessary retrenchments and continuing the playing season. That the patrons of the game will appreciate their gameness in a sub stantial manner we have no doubt. "The government officials at Wash ington have done much to encour age the continuance of athletics dur ing the present trying times. We be speak for the club owners a generous support for their unselfish efforts. The players are due high praise for the splendid spirit shown in the emerg ency.

WAR SONG OF SUMMER Sing your song of summer for the golden glow of June; Sing it for the music of a thousands birds in tune; Lift your voice gayly for the azure of its sky, Star-lit in the shadows as the dusk wind whispers by; Send the echoes rollicking of lovers in the lane, Building air castles in the phantom realm of Spain; Sing its many glories—but the melody for mine i& the corn upon the coblet and the melon on the vine. Sing your song of summer for the harvest of the field, The magic wealth of nature and the bounty of her yield; Sing of rills, rock-fretted, where the ever singing streams Ripple in their music through the land of golden dreams Sing ye of its roses, of its daisied fields of white, The sweetness of its morning and the splendor of its night; Far echo of all its wonders —but the song that goes for mine Is the corn upon the coblet and the melon on the vine. TV'S GREATEST CAMPAIGN Despite Cobb's wild rush through June and early July, when he sallied forth upon his famous batting rampage, there is hardly a chance that he will equal his greatest campaign—back in 1911. Six years ago Ty delivered the greatest assault ever known in baseball. In his 1911 campaign Cobb smashed all records by scoring 147 runs, making 248 hits in 146 games. The record of 147 runs and 248 hits in a season has never been equalled, even approached. So far Cobb has just passed the 100-hit mark and has scored in the neighborhood of 50 runs in a trifle over 70 games. In the 80-odd games that remain he must pound out over 140 hits and score over 100 runs to climb up to his 1911 peak. This can be done, but it is well beyond prob ability, unless Ty can maintain his June and early July spurt the rest of the way. This will call for a batting average the remainder of the season around .450. Yet for the last six weeks he has been, up around .460, in one of the most remarkable demonstrations ever known. THE RED SOX IN THE WEST The Red Sox are now facing an important tour through the West. Here tofore they have played their best ball in the Western country, and it is there they have always fought their hardest. If they maintain their old standards on this trip and stick around the crest, they must still be considered pennant favorites, as for the last two years they have done all ther best work from the start of the stretch. The club starts West in fine condition, well placed in the race. It has not been called upon to bear the burden of pacemaking, which is a burden in a pennant race, just as it is in any other sort of running. The White Sox look more formidable this season than they have ever looked before, but they still have a fine ball club to beat, a club that un doubtedly will hang on to the finish. The sprint between these two is sure to be the season's leading feature. OUIMET'S APPEARANCE The competitive appearance of Francis Ouimet in the Western amateur at Midlothian this week will be an interesting addition to golfing lore. It has been two years now since Ouimet fell before Jimmy Standish, of Detroit, in the amateur championship, and this defeat marked his last appearance in competition. Since that date the Bostonian has played any amount of rare golf, but non.e of this has been given in tournament competition. There would be greater national interest if both Evans and Gardner were entered but as it is Ouimet will have a hard field to overthrow before finishing first. If Ouimet should win, the complication ensuing would be abnormal. We would then have the Western amateur champion, living in the East, but unable to compete in the East as an amateur. If this isn't complex enough we are foiled for a rebuttal. LIMERICK OF THE LINKS A golfer who topped all his mashies, And cut the golf ball into dashies, Exclaimed with each miss— But in telling you this lam forced to use x x x and —— NOT YET War may have dislocated many enterprises, especially those attached to sport. But so far it has failed to upset baseball. The game so far has known more than average prosperity, with the attendance fully up to normal marks in past years. Baseball and racing have both moved along without suffering any setback. And the indications now are that these conditions will last out the year. Just what wil lhappen when American troops start "over the top" and the big army now to be built leaves for the front is something else again. Just what will happen when the casualty list starts is beyond guessing. But so far as 1917 is concerned, baseball has already passed the danger zone, with big crowds both East and West. The appearance of James S. Worthington in the Western amateur will lend an international tone to the occasion. The mid-Surrey star although Just a trifle shy of fifty years, has been playing fine golf since his arrival in America, over a year ago. He has entered only three tournaments, but In each start his play was strictly good. He has a slow, even back swing, plays his irons exceedingly well, and Is one of the best putters to be found anywhere. He will be no light opponent for any man in match play BECOMES HOSPITAL NURSE Marietta. Pa., July 12.—Miss Frances Gramm, daughter of Jus tice of the Peace and Mrs. Samuel B. Gramm, of. Marietta, who recent ly hnished a special course at Sacrecf HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Heart Academy, at Lancaster, has been notified to report at the Uni versity of Pennsylvania Hospital at once, to fill an emergency call, as a trained nurse.'' SAWYER WINS IN RECORD CONTEST Beats Yale Star in Western Tourney; Sets New Figures Chicago, July 12.—A world's rec ord, extra-hole match was staged yesterday in the second match round of the western amateur golf cham pionship at Midlothian, Ned Sawyer, of the Bobolink Club, Chicago, de feating Robert Markwell, Yale Uni versity star, on the forty-second hole after having been five down at the twenty-seventh hole. It took par golf for the veteran Sawyer, west ern champion in 1906, to overtake his younger opponent, who was dormie three after thirty-three holes of splendid golf, but the strain finally told on the young collegian. The other seven matches were not close and three were one-sided. Francis Ouimet, of Boston, defeated J. T. Henry, of Chicago, 4 to 2, in a rainy finish. The former na tional champion barely kept square on the first nine with a 37, one over par, but gained three holes on the second nine. Henry again held his own on the third nine,-but slipped a hole on the last_ losing 4 down and 2 to go. Kenneth Edwards eliminated Reuben Bush, the last southern contender, 3 and 2. the former southern champion never gaining a lead over the Midlothian player.

Decker French, of Rock Island Arsenal, 13 and 12, being 10 up at the end of the first round. In another lop-sided contest, Don ald Edwards, of Midlothian, medalist in the qualifying rounds, defeated, 10 up and 8, the only British con testant. J. S. Worthington. John G. Anderson, of New York, hitting par golf on the second round, defeated Robert Bowker, of Chicago, 8 and 7, after the public links expert had he'd the eastern player even on the first, eighteen holes. The match between Sawyer and Markwell was followed by a large gallery, whose members hung breathless on every shot until the Vale expert finally put himself hope lessly in a trap on the sixth extra hole. Sawyer, who had shot splendid golf ever since the tournament started, kept it up yesterday, scor ing 38-41-79 on the first round in a drix*ltng rain, but Markwell went tetter, with 36-40-76, and was 3 up at luncheon. LUTHERANS TO CELEBRATE Marietta, Pa., July 12.—Thursday next, July 19, the Lutheran congre gations of Marietta, Bainbridge, Co lumbia, Wrightsville and Maytown, will celebrate the quadrieentennial of the Protestant Reformation at Chickies' Park with special exercis es. A chorus of one hundred voices will render music under the direction of Prof. C. N. McHose, of Lancas ter. The Rev. I. Chantry Hoffman, of Philadelphia, and the Rev. Dr. T. C. Billheimer, of Gettysburg, will be among the speakers. JULY 12, 1917. WELLY'S jf CORNER Indications point to rough sailing in the New York State League. Play ers are kicking and there is a howl loud and Mong from the umpires, who have had their salaries cut. Ac cording to reports Umpire Carney was doublecrossed by other indicator men. He is out. Johnson, Lewis and Pfirman remain. Carney was considered a good man, better than at least two of the other men who have been retained. The Baker A. A. will go to Car lisle Saturday for a game with the Lindner team of that place. The Bakers have been doing good work all season and ought to give the Car lisle nine a hard chase. Catcher Haddock, who was on the Harrisburg list, has been taken over by Elmlra. Don Brown is also a member of the Colonels, but It is now coming out that he Is a player with many contracts and there may be trouble if he plays. President Farrell will have to do the untang ling. | GOODE BREAKS COLLARBONE | Milwaukee, July 12.

This Is the second post ponement but the scrap will be stag ed to-night, providing the weather doesn't Interfere again. It will not be long before the con trol of the St. Louis Cardinals will pass into the hands of Robert Leo Hedges, who sold the Browns to Philip Ball. At least that is the story, and there seems to be a basis for it. Hiram Mason, who is a nephew of Hedges and always was close to him in baseball affairs, has withdrawn from the position of as sistant secretary of the Browns, which he has held for many yeara, and will accept a similar positoa with the Cardinals. George B. Bender, foreman of the paint shop, was chosen president of the Lucknow Clerks' Athletic Asso ciation, at a closely contested elec tion held yesterday. He will succeed Charles E. Gray. SUSPENSION FOR TINKER Chicago, July 12.—Joe Tinker, manager of the Columbus club of the American Association, who yesterday was fined SIOO for spitting in an um pire's face, yesterday was suspended for three days by President Hickey.
