CRUCIAL TIME HERE
FOR COCK|LL' CREW
Home With Lancaster Today at
Allentown Friday and
Saturday
BY "UNTP"

Cockill's crew came home to-day
for a battle with Lancaster. Harris
burg will journey to Allentown to-
morrow for the first of a series of
games which will be important factors
in this seasons results.
1t will be the final visit of the
Cockill crusaders to the Teuton's bat
tlefield. Taking two games from the
Johnny Castle bunch would cinch
Harrisburg's chances. Allentown is
depending upon their six twirlers to
help them out. The Teutons have
been greatly favored in being per-
mitted to have six pitchers. Manager
Johnny Castle has also pulled over
another little scheme to help Allen
town. He has arranged for the trans
fer of the Lancaster and Wilmington
games to Allentown.
This is a game that Harrisburg can
play, as far as Wilmington is con-
cerned. Lancaster has been laying
down to Allentown; so have Will
mington and Trenton. This, however,
is not worrying Manager George
CockiH. While he has not been hav-
ing a fair deal, the local leader will
leave 1t to the ability of his players
to bring victory in the end. Unless
there is big slump in the pitchers
hitting and fielding, Manager Cockill
is of the opinion that he will win the
majority of the games with Allen
town. The Teutons will be here for
four games September and 8.
1t is probable that two umpires will
officiate at all the games between AL
lentown and Harrisburg from now un-
til the close of the season.

UP TO SECRETARIES
FOR ARNIY-NAVY GAME

Annapolis. Md, Aug. 20.-The choice
of the scene of the Army-Navy foot
ball game this season has been left to
the heads of the services, the Secre-
taries of War and Navy. 1t is under
stood here that satisfactory grounds
in both New York and Philadelphia
are available and it is believed that
the Army will acquiesce in the Navy's
choice of Philadelphia this year, mas
much as the Navy gave way last year
and went to New York against it's
wishes.
There is no disposition to permit the
choice of grounds to cause a rupture
However, Navy people feel very
strongly that the Army should agree
to Philadelphia this year. In fact,
they hold that as Washington is not
available, the West Point people
should agree to Philadelphia as the
place of the game every year IL suffi-
cient seats can be obtained.

Long-Distance Economy.

The recent experience of Ray Hender-

economy of the motor cycle for long-dis-
tance tours. These young men rode

all kinds of roads. They spent three

Club Run Postponed.

was called off. the weather being too
cold for comfortable riding. The captain
has issued call for Il run February 10,
the riders to meet at the clubroom at 10
O clock and then decide upon the desti-
nation Of the run. Weather at this sea
son is so uncertain that plans for ex-
tended runs cannot be made.
Some dissatisfaction among members
of the club has been expressed because
the annual banquet has been abandoned.
The later plan Of holding barbecue dur
ing the riding season is satisfactory to all
members but certain of the members
dislike the idea of giving up the formal
dinner. The annual banquet has been a
factor in building up the club spirit, and
It is likely that plans for holding such u
function will be revived.

HOBO USED MOTOR CAR

Feat Was Insignificant, as the Au-

The feat loses much OF It's motorihs

Nevertheless. it possesses many features
of an unusual nature.
Recently this resourceful hobo must
have passed the Studebaker loading
platform in Detroit He doubtless
rnarveled at the many freight cars being
loaded and noted that each car carried
on its door the name of the city when
was to be it's destination. The variety
from which he chose contained about
every trading center or moment IN the
country. but he must have passed along

smuggled himself inside the car with
the automobiles. An inspector came
along and verified the shipment the
human freight keeping out of sight.
The car was sealed
Once embarked on this trip the tramp
made his headquarters in Studebaker
six Sedan which was the crowning
glory of the shipment. It's cushions
made him "a luxurious bed. He had but
10 touch a button to illumine its in
terror It's body gave him double pro-
lection against the weather. He must
have been provisioned for the trip, for
when the car arrived at Portland and
the door was opened for the first time
the hobo bounced out with abounding
energy and promptly disappeared. the

too amazed to give chase An abundance
of cigarette stubs and large empty

English motor cyclists are so enthu-

discontinue their endurance runs during

that the contestants encountered all sorts
