Of the season there has been great

the other teams Ia the circuit been
as great as between these two towns
every club in the Tristate would be a
money maker this year.
Every time Weit1ers bunch went TO
Lancaster there was a big crowd Of
"rootcrs" from Reading with them, and
Lancaster fans attended here when

are using an Of their energy in roofing for

For at least once during the season the

against Altoona several days ago and won
out IN the ninth inning.

since the club took 10 the road altogether
"Chic" Hartley the Wilmington center-
fielder continues his climb toward tho 800
mark in hitting Chic got in bad the

are asking. II sccms 10 Doe tlic general im-
precision that there IS chance for am

Before Saturday

With but another week OF Tri-stats
baseball, the situation becomes some
what tense. Harrisburg is chasing
the Champs hard for first place ana
Williamspcrt can afford to lose verv
few games to win the rag. The Sen.
ators winning of two games on We'd

uon TO the lead. On Tuesday tba
champs We're so situated in the stand
Ing that provided Harrisburg PLAYED
all of its scheduled garnes and won ali
played the present leaders would stin
win out if not more than three gamea
were lost Of those remaining for thu
biliies to play. Tuesdcy and Wednes-
Gays losses and the winning Of the
senator's on the same days with the
difference of their winning one moro
than WilliamsDort lost changed The
situation considerably.
All Of the remaining games the BIZ
lies and Harrisburg have to play arn
with Johnstown and Altoona. The
former and Williasport play five games
on the schedule willis Harrisburg is
up against Altoona for The same num-
Der The Mountaineers and the locals
play four and the Jawns and Harris
burg four.
Should WilliamsDort lose one more
game and the Senators continue their

one more game to play than Williams

CARPENTER STANDS
BY HARRISBURG

ALTOONA, Sept 7.--Being asked for
statement regarding the Wiliamsport
Tri-state baseball clubs protest OF the
Altoona Harrisburg game because Pitcher
Hoch late of Wilmington. was used by
Harrisburg Manager Heckert, of the
Harrisburg club, who was here said
that Tri-state President Carpenter and
Manager O'Rourke. Of the Wilmington
team, represent the league as far as the
Wilmington club is concerned, and have
a perfect right to dispose of Whining
toms players or make any reasonable
business arrangement 40 enable Whining
ton to finish the league schedule.
AT the last meeting of the league he
said all the clubs agreed in empowering
President Carpenter to do everything TO
help Wilmington to finish the season. At
the same time the different clubs pledged
themselves to advance "A certain sum OF
money for that purpose, which, IL was
understood, was to be returned to them
through the sale OF Wilmington players.
The rule forbdding the selling of "A play
er to another club in the same league
after August / was virtually set aside as
far as Wilmington was concerned. With
this authority President Carpenter and
Manager O'Rourke sold Pitcher Jackson
To Reading. and no objection was heard
from amy quarter
Manager Heckort thinks Willlamsport' s
protest is not well taken. He is quite
sure that Harrisburg does not intend TO
infringe upon any Tr-State rules Jack
son plaved against WilliamspOrt, and no
protest was made. When seen later Pres
ideut Carpenter confirmed the statement
OF Manager Heckert and was even more
emphatic in disapproval of Williams
ports protest

the train was about fifteen minutes
late and fast time was made, Engi.

caused supposedly by the application
of the air brakes, and then complete
stop. 1t was found, few minutes lat.
er. that through the alleged careless.
ness OF u switchman. the switch had
been set for the turntable. The en-
CINE was resting easily In the pit
without any damage beyond broken
coupling which connected the tender

had time to jump when the accident
was foreseen, but Engineer Cordeira
stuck to his post. and Immediately up
on the train stopping started prepar
ing his engine for transmission to tn,
tracks again.
| Engineer Cordeira was praised b,
the passengers and the general teno
of the conversation was that but 70
his ability as an engineer and timel
usage OF the air.brakes many passer
gers might have been injured.
