his crusaders left this morning for
the Teuton battlefield. Two games
will be played. Booster day will be
observed to-day and tomorrow.
1t is probable that Joe Chabek will

q chance at Johnny Castles bunch,
and either may be given his chance
tomorrow. Harrisburg must take at
least one game at Allentown.
Cockill's crusaders will be home
every day next week. This will help
some. Allentown has also arranged
for a series, of home games, having
made several transfers. With the AL
lentown series, Harrisburg and the
Teutons each have eighteen games
to play. According to dopesters the
Cockill crew can drop a few, while
Allentown must win every game on
the schedule.

days game, allowing Lancaster but
four hits. Harrisburg won, score 3

of the week seen at Island Park. Fast
fielding by Harrisburg was a feature.
Cook, who has always been a puzzle
when pitching against Harrisburg,
was given his bumps at intervals. Lam
caster put up a brilliant fielding
game.
In the third inning, with one man
down, Clouser doubled to left field
He scored on Cooks single to center.
Lancaster never had a man farther
than second base after this inning.

In the third Keyes was passed.
