FREY WINNER IN
RECORD CONTEST
NEWPORT LEADS
Dauphin was the big 'se.nsation Sat- '
urday in the Dauphin-Perry League.
Millersburg was shut out without a
run or hit. Frey pitched and was j
given great support. It was a great |
day for Frey.
Duncannon had little difficulty de- |
feating the Marysville aggregation,
in a game in which they outhlt their
rivals two to one. Both teams played j
errorless ball, score 4 to I.
Newport, the league leaders, kept
Halifax tied with Marysville when
the Perry Countians hung up a 2-1 .
victory, manly due to Strickler's ex- j
cellent twirling. The score of the
Dauphin game follows:

FARRELL TEAMS
WANT TO QUIT
Scranton Crowds Decrease;
Reading Is Losing Money;
May Call Meeting
Scranton, July 23." Fans on the
New York State League circuit have
not taken to the split season plan as
liberally as the magnates had expect
ed. with the result that the organi
zation is again facing financial dif
ficulties. Not more than two cities
are meeting expenses under the new
season system and this with salaries
cut to JI6OO a month.
Just now Scranton Is one of the
real weak sisters of the league. Read
ing is said to be the next. In Bing
hamton, Syracuse and Wilkes-Barre,
the owners, though they are not
meeting expenses, are satisfied to go
through, but in Elmira, the manage
ment would welcome an early sus
pension. In other words, there are
three teams ready to throw up the
sponge at any minute and if three
go the others naturally will have to
follow suit.
May Call Meeting
There was talk on Friday that a
special meeting of the owners had
been called for early next week to
consider the plan of suspending the
league for the balance of the sea
eon, but as yet nothing definite
along the line has been done. Two
clubs are said to have asked Presi
dent Farrell to arrive at such a de-

owners has given an affirmative ans

The clubs opposed to such a move
are afrafd a suspension now will de
tract from the franchise values for
next year and also might endanger
the title held to their players, not
to forget the possibility of some
clubs losing chances to pick up
money through sales and drafts later

LINING VP THE ADVANCED DOPE
It looked extremely doubtful that our boys would win the match,
With Bethmann-Hollweg in the box and Hindenburg to catch.
B. Krupp was playing second and her batting helped a lot.
And Hohenzollern coaching and yelling "Me and Gott! - ' ,
So when Alexis Fetrograd, emerging from the tren.ch. ,
Struck three times at the atmosphere and sat down on the bench,
Believe me, little children, It was no time to shout,
For it looked as If the Allies were really down and out! ,
The Neutrals all got up to go, with mutterings or grins—
Dutch Holland and Kid Switzerland, the Scandinavian Twins.
AKonso, telling Denmark that he didn't give a dam!
Carranza, singing "Deutschland über me and Uncle Sam."
And you could hear them stalling and talking through their hats,
Like this: "If Montenegro had gone up to the bat.
They wouldn't do a thing but take a few Teutonic scalps;
You know how Monte worked it in the Tyrolean Alps." ,
But now there came a wave of hope, for this Is what occurred —
John Bull let drive a single and Japan was safe on third!
Two men were out; the score was tied; Rumania at the bat;
Rumania from a minor league and very weak at that!
And it was up to Liberty to come across at last.
And bring her banner to the front and nail it to the mast.
She saw her opportunity, and then —she didn't flinch;
She chased Rumania, and sent up Columbia in the pinch!
Von Bethmann sized Columbia up, and Von was worried now;
He took a Scrap of Paper and he wiped his clammy brow;
He looked with awe upon her bat—it was a deadly wand;
Her fingers white were gripping tight a mighty Liberty Bond;
And now Von Bethmann tries to sneak an inshoot o'er the plate, •
And now Columbia hits it and our cheers reverberate,
And everywhere the Lid is off from 'Frisco to the Hub,
For William Hohenzollern's joined the Ausgespieler Club.
—PASSERBY (Chicago).
THE PROOF
Christy Mathewson's Reds have proved that a ball club can be an ag
gressive, hustling, hard fighting lot without constantly tearing into an um
pire or starting a rumpus.
We haven't looked up their record in this respect, but we have seen
them play a number of games, and in each instance their aggressiveness
was directed toward run making and trying to beat the other club.
Matty himself gave a fine example along this line a few days ago.
Just as the Giant pitcher wound up one of the umpires held up his hand,
calling time to retrieve a ball from the stands. But the pitcher had started
his motion, not observing the signal. Neale followed with a home run,
scoring Chase ahead of him. It was a hard luck decision to face, but Matty
after receiving the umpire's judgment, accepted without a complaint when
NeaJe was called back.
A TRIFLE MORE SO
Each year, as star young first basemen like Sisler and Pipp come along,
we begin to figure which will be the new king. And then we happen to
watch Hal Chase for a few games or get a few side lines upon Stuffy Mc-
Innis, and decide that the abdication of the veterans is a trifle premature.
Chase is as great a first baseman to-day as he ever was in his career. Even
just a trifle more so, for his heart is deeper in his work.
GOOD LUCK. BIG FELLOW
Dear Sir—l read recently that Arlle Mucks, the 260-pound athlete, has
enlisted. What a bomb thrower he will make! What with putting the
shot 40 feet, throwing the hammer and the javelin near record figures,
throwing the discus 100 feet, passing a football 50 yards, his arm should
be well adjusted for tossing enough bombs to blow up a ten-mile front.
No man in the game is more popular. Two years ago he turned over a
medal he had won to an Ineligible who had beaten him and had later been
disqualified. He is that sort. SLEEPY STEVE,
NEW YORK VS. CHICAGO
While there are vague rumors that New York and Chicago may meet
in the next world series, another duel between the two Big Villages has been
proposed.
The idea is that Chick Evans and Bob Gardner, representing Chicago,
tackle Jerry Travers and Oswald Kirby, representing New York—the com
bat to be arranged for a mammoth Red Cross Fund.
Travers and Kirby say they are willing if the match can be arranged
in the East, is neither can get away to go West. Chick writes that he is
willing. If Bob Gardner, who is to leave for the Officers' Reserve Corps
soon, can't get away, Ned Sawyer may be substituted. Further details of
tne head-on collision between the two big cities will be announced anon, if
not shortly.
When Harry Coveleskie faltered this season Stanley Coveleskie rushed
to the gap. Poland is on her way back to the crest. Nothing can stop her.

With Fractured Ankle
- if
ZACH WHEAT.
Zach Wheat. Brooklyn's great out
fielder, wrenched his right ankle in

the flrst batter to face Pete Schneider
in this inning and he singled to left.
Cutshaw followed with a hit to
center. Wheat turned second base
at full speed, but midway between
second and third collapsed. He lay
In a helpless condition, and Groh,

WELLY'S jf CORNER
Pennsy shooters furnished some
real sport on Saturday. Handling 87
trapshooters is no easy task. There
was no hitch. The 50 target contest
began at 2 o'clock sharp. At 5.30 the
last man In the eighteenth squad had
finished. One-half hour later prize
winners had their trophies and with
other shooters were homeward bound.
Officials to whom credit is due for
the success of Saturday's shoot in
cluded J. T. Coleman of the general
manager's office, Philadelphia: C. W.
Hole, director of athletics for the
eastern division of the Pennsylvania
railroad and the old reliable Samuel S.
Hepford. athletic director for the
Philadelphia division. Two well
known volunteers were also promi
nent, Lloyd R. Lewis, of the Dupont
Powder company, and Harry B. Snoop
of the Harrisburg Sportsmen's asso
ciation.
There was another big factor In the
railroad shoot. His name is George
Snyder and he is part of the office
force of Superintendent William B.
McCaleb. "George was scorer at No.
2 traps, and it was some job marking
up "deads" and "losts." He was on
the Job.
Keep a close watch on M. B. Stewart
and W. E. Hoover of West Fairview.
They are two crack shots, who will
show some records for this year. Al
ready each of these trapshooters
won honors in big state events. On
Saturday Stewart established a new
record for the Harrisburg Sportsmen's
association grounds. While he is a

resident of West Falrview, Stewart la
giving HarrLsburg wide publicity with
his shooting.
Hoover grot Into the railroad shoot
late and worked hard for high honors.
His desire to make a good showing
made him a little bit nervous. An
earlier start would have put him in
better shape. At the go off he had
some big scores to overcome, and
made an excellent record.
Local merchants and store em
ployes who have half holidays each
week are clamoring for baseball. Mid
week games are in demand. This
ought to be a good tip for local man
agers. Thursday afternoon ought to
be a good time to have one or mora
games—the kind furnished every Sat
urday by West End. Jackson A. C..
Belmont A. C., Rosewood and other
local teams.
Now that It is known that no draft
calls will be effective In Harrisburg
for at least two months, it mi£ht be
a good thing to arrange an elimina
tion series to decide the city baseball
championship. Games could be played
every Thursday and Saturday after
noon. Why not call a meeting and
talk it over?
Predictions made several weeks ago
that the New York State League would
not last long after July 4, are about
to be fulfilled. The old minor organ
ization .is tottering and if President
J. H. Farrell acts wisely, he will call
off all games at an early date. Better
stop now, and reorganize after the
I war.
