NEWPORT MADE HISTORY RICH
IN SEASON'S LEAGUE RACE;
WINNERS WITH RECORDS
By WESTY SHORE ]
Newport, Pa., Aug. 80.—Playing a|
hard and consistent game all season, !
Newport landed the 1917 Dawphin-;
Perry League pennant with a record 1
of seventeen victories out twenty
starts. This brings the third Dau
phin-Perry gonfalon to Perry county j
in the three years of the league's
existence. ,
Dauphin county has not been far:
from the lead at the end of any of]
the trio of seasons. And every tlmo
it was the Dauphin team froni the
smallest town in the circuit that
achieved the unique result of being I
runners-up in every Dauphin-Perry
League race. At times this team was
tied for the lead, but always lacked
the punch to cross the line a winner, j
Marysville beat out Dauphin in 1915 i
and 1916.
The standard of the national pas-;
time in this league has steadily ad-!
vanced since the opening game on;
May 22, 1915. This year every team
had a good contingent representing It
on the field and hard luck may be
blamed for the poor standing of
some of tho teams down in the race. |
Blue Ridge League players have been
members of the squads of the six,
teams at various times during the;
year and it may well be said that
their work in the D-P could not
compare to that in the professional j
league. And that is putting it mildly;
r.t the best.
New Season's Record
Newport's record of seventeen vic
tories and three defeats this year is,
a new one for the Dauphin-Perry,
a record at which the others can
shoot for some years to come. The j
best previous record was made dur
ing the 1916 season by Marysville'
when the team captured fifteen
games In the league series. The final
two games were dropped when the
team used youngsters in one conflict
and did not put a team on the field j
for the other. Otherwise, Newport's :
record might merely be tying an old j
one.
Newport was never out of the lead
or a tie for it all season. The three,
defeats were suffered at the hands!
of Dauphin. Duncannort and Marys
ville. Marysville proved to be the)
Busy's Lassie Winner
in Knickerbocker Trot
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Aug. SO.—
Busy's Lassie, owned by Barton Par
dee, of Atlantic City, N. J., and driven
by Walter R. Cox, yesterday won
"the Knickerbocker," 2.07 trot, for
a $5,000 purse in the Grand Circuit,
but not until the event had gone
four heats, although it waa raced
on the three-heat system.
At the end of the third heat
Busy's Lassie and Brescia stood tied
in the summary and under the rules
the two horses went another heat to
decide the winner of the race. The
best time was in the first heat, 2:06%
which was won by Brescia, after A 1
Mack, the favffpite, which had been
leading, went to a break in the
home stretch. Rodney, driver of
Brescia, waa pocketed in the second
heat, which A 1 Mack won. and breaks
cost Ai Mack and Brescia the third
heat. Busy's Lassie, winner of the
lieat. easily defeated Brescia in the
fourth.
Expressive Lou, driven by Murphy,
won the 2:09 trot in straight heats,
but • the finishes were very close,
Koroni being the principal conten
der.
"The Vassar," for two-year-old
trotters, was won by Peter June In
straight heats. Ruth Malnsheet and
Miriam Guy dividing second and
.third moneys.
During the afternoon Thomas W.
Murphy, who is a resident of this
city, was presented with a sliver
punch bowl by the owners of the
Pastime stable at Cleveland, Ohio, in
recognition of his services in driving
the pacemaker for Lee Axworthy last
year when that liorse established a
world's record of 1:58%.

New York, Aug. 30.—Larry R. Che
ney, a pitcher on the Brooklyn Na

sworn to by Cheney's wife at Or
lando, Fla.
According to his attorney. Cheney

WELLY'S jf CORNER
Lew Ritter, who has been counted
a "has been", came back strong yes
terday in the game at Steelton. Any
person who picked this veteran as
a down and outer has another guess.
He had trouble with his eyes, but has
come around all right and Is as good
as ever.
Pitching a game like that credited
to Ogden yesterday is some record.
The Steelton twlrler has shown fast
form all season. At times he has not
had the support due him. He is classy
and uses his head.
John McGraw has been justly pun
ished, according to the general belie
in basohalldom. His temper lias cost
him dearly. ( It Is a question, how
ever, whether it will have any effect
on the Giant leader. He has always
been of a scrappy disposition and it
is rather late to improve him.
Bob Shawkey, the boy who started
his mound career in llarrisburg, has
been given a long suspension. Shaw
key got bad the other day and tried
to fight, but peacemakers interfered
and he went to the clubhouse feeling
rather sore. Had he quit at that ho
would have been let down easily, but.
it is said, his actions after the game
brought severe censure from baseball
officials.
Cumberland handed Hagerstown a
severe Jolt yesterday, winning by a
score of 10 to 2. The Blue Rldgtt
1< aders cannot stand many bumps like
that. Martinsburg is not far oft and
playing a good game.
