MONDAY EVENING,
TWO GAMES ON
M-P CIRCUIT
Rain Stops Game at Island
Between Harrisburg and
New York
Only two games were played in the
Motive Power League of the Penn
sylvania Railroad on Saturday. Har
risburg and New York quit in the
score 0 to 0. Each team had a hit
when rain stopped the game at
Island Park. Rain also interfered
with the game at Trenton with
Washington. New York will come
here later in the season.
Although Meadows outplayed the
Quakers the Philadelphia boys zot
the breaks of the game and defeated
the Newark crew 2 to 1, an eleventh
round being necessary to gain the
decision. Mayo, Jr., was in splendid
form, his control being perfect, not
issuing a pass in the eleven innings,
allowing only four hits and breezing
nine of the Quakers. With the prop
er support it would have been an
easv victory for the Newark boy.
Rice was touched for nine bingles
but received errorless support from
his teammates.
The offensive and defensive hon
ors were awarded to Carney, his
leaping catch of a line drive in th.'
sixth starting a feast double-play
which cut off a threatening tally. It
was his wallop in the first stanza for
a round-trip on the bases that regis
tered the first run and again in the
eleventh poled the hit that scored
the winning run. An additional field
ing feat was performed by Linden
mver, who picked a foul fly off the
fence. . .. . .
Bunching their hits in the third
and fourth innings, aided by Peck's
wildness in the seventh, Wilmington
defeated Baltimore and advanced TO
the third position, score 7 to 1. Hunn
allowed Baltimore but four hits.

ST. LOUIS WILL
GET BIG MEET
New York. July 16.—Final assur
ance was given to the A. A. U na
tional body to-day by the Western
Association that St. Louis would hold
the national track and field cham
pionship the first week in Septem
ber. In a telegram to F. W. Rubien.

ing. After the meeting the full pro
prams of both the junior and senior
events will be sent out. It is pos
sible that the dates for the meet
may be a little earlier than the orig
inal arrangement.
Hard to Get Cash
For several days past the A. A. U.
authorities here were in a quan
dary oyer the national fixture. The
uncertainty was caused by a report
from St. Louis that the cash could
not be raised and the meet would
have to be abandoned.
The Meadow Brook Club, of Phil
adelphia. stood ready to hold the
meet. Finally the authorities here
demanded a decisive answer from St.
Louis, and it came in the shape of
j the telegram.
Secretary Rubien said that the
meeting would be held anvway. even
had St. Louis and the Meadow Brook
club not bid for it as the A A. U.
had planned to stage the affair in
New York in the shape of a monster
carnival.

RECRUIT CROP
IS CUT SHORT
Failure of Minor Leagues
Leaves Few Youngsters
For Major Teams
Philadelphia. July 16. —Five minor
league clubs have blown up and sev
eral more are tottering, and. accord
ing to Pat Moran and Connie Mack,
this will reduce the chances of the
baseball crop from the bushes pro
du ng big league stars just that
mathematical degree.
The Virginia League exploded, the
North Carolina League went up, the
Northern League took a fllpflop, the
Three-I League. turned turtle and
the South Atlantic League retired.
This threw a small army of ball
knights out of work, and, as in most
cases, the salaries ceased with the
abandonment of the league sched
ule. The teams leased their grounds,
and the bats and uniforms were
about all the assets. The franchise
was worth nothing, and the plavers '
after talking about the situation, de
cided to go to work, or join the
army.
Connie Mack's Views
Connie Mack said of 'the situa
tion: "Yes, I know about the little
leagues going under. Most of them
had frail bank rolls, ind it did not
take much of a pitc.i to rip them

apart. There were some good young
sters in those leagues who would
have developed had they been given
a chance. It is Just that much oft
the ball crop."
Pat Moran, of the Phils, said: "I
am sorry for tlie fellows, sorry for
the leagues. The recruit crop has
not been good. I want a pitcher,
and cannot buy one for a stack of
gold. I cannot understand the little
leagues busting unless it's the war.

WELLY'S $ CORNER
————————
Rain put a big crimp in baseball
games on Saturday. Several import
ant league battles were called off.
Mack Wheat, former Harrisburg
catcher, this season with Bingham
ton team of the New York State
League, has been recalled by Brook
lyn. The Dodgers will need him.
Unless the owners of the Wilkes-
Barre and Syracuse teams proceed
to give substantial proof that they
are complying with the league's new
$1,600 salary limit, George F. John
son, millionaire owner of the Bing
hamton baseball club, has threaten
ed to disband the Bingoes and close
the Binghamton Park.
