NEWS OF THE SPO HARRISBURG SAW A CREAT ' YEAR OF SPORTS IN 1914 Central Pennsylvania Baseball League Opened and Senators Copped Flag In Tri-9tate—Tech Had the Better of Scholastic Sports The year 1914 in shorts hereabouts was a big one. There were several upsets in scholastic games ami two new .projects have been started that are (bound to continue for years to come. (Foremost and of the greatest impor tance was the establishment of the Cen tral Pennsylvania League of Baseball Clubs, embracing Middletown, High spire, Steelton and New Cumberland. Not only was th league started, but it went througfh a remarkably successful season for its first one and now it is firmly established. Plans are now afoot to make it better for next season. Frank A. Stees, the president, deserves a lot of credit for pushing the thing through to a successful •finish, although the well known rivalry between various of the teams seemed to make it a difficult problem at times. The past season saw the Harrisburg team of the Tri J State 1-ieague take down the pennant after a hard race. It was Manager Oockill's second success in three years. He furnished good baseball to the fans and several of his 'players attained such reputations that they are lost to Tri-State baseball. Since the close of the season Oha'bek has been drafted 'by Brooklyn, Adams by Pitts burgh and Miller has been sold to Scranton of the New York State League. All of these players brought 'money to the treasury of the local club and the season, while not a howling success in that line, the backers did not loose too much money in giving Harrisburg good baseball. An offer has been received for another Harrisburg player daily those on the inside are expecting that the sale will be consummated. It was also during this year that President George >M. Graham conceived the idea of increasing t'he league to in clude eight cities and his plans have been about completed. Definite action will be taken soon at the annual meet ing of the league. Not long ago 'Buck Freeman and Jack 'Deal have signified their willingness to enter Tri-State basefball again. This planning for next season is about as important as the ac tual playing season of 1914. In scholastic, athletics during t'he year Tech seemed to have the bulge on Central. T'he Maroon and Gray team won the dual track meet from Central High on 'May 23 by the score of 9S to 33. Again Tech won t'he annual high school track and field meet with a score of 85. Reading was second in this meet with 45%, Steelton third, 39%, and Central fourth with 21. Beck was the greatest individual point win ner and Kls(Hheid broke the only record for the meet by hurling the discus 109 feet 5 inches. Football is the most important of the scholastic athletics and Tech had its most, conspicuous season, suffering but one defeat at the hands of a high school eleven and winning for the first time a game from the Central High school. This is the owe thing that stands out all important in scholastic athletics in the year 1914. A lot of individual honors were gathered in 'this sfpoTt by Beck, the sturdy Tech fullback. 1914 saw the opening of the switm ming tank at the P. R. R. Y. IM, 'C. A. and the opening of swimming contests. A dual meet, which will likely 'be the first of many, was held with the Read ing Y. IM. C. A. in the local tanlk. Another important start was made in 'basketball this season. The Harrisburg 'lndependent basketball five to play games in the Chestnut street auditorium, promises fast 'basketball. The year did not see the stopping of any sport start ed in former years. There were scores of amateur 'baseball, football and basketball teams in the city.

WANTS AFTER FA KM May Purchase Syracuse Club to Train Players The New York Giants may purchase one of the International League clubs for farming-out purposes, in order to save its large lists of young players who otherwise would have to be turned loose upon some minor league organiza tion when the season begins in the ma jor bodies. Several of the major league' clubs have this idea iu mind, and that was the reason that Manager Muggins, of •St. 'Louis, and Manager Herzog, of Cin- ! cinnati, put in bids for the Buffalo club of the International League. The new I rule restricting clubs to 21 men means! that they will have to turn several players loose who are really good enough to be grabbed up by the Class ! AA clubs, which includes the Interna tional League, the American Associa tion and the Pacific Coast Leagues. If the (limits acquire the Syracuse club it is likely that Manager McG raw : will see that George Wiltse, who has! been unconditionally released, will get ! the job as manager.
