YANKEE REGULARS
PLAY HERE MONDAY
Wild Bill Donovan May Pitch Bob
Shawkey; Yesterdays Games
Disappointing

Harrisburg baseball fans will have
a chance on Monday afternoon to see
Bill Donovan and his New York Amer
ican League club in action on the is
land grounds when the Yankees play
Eddie zimmerman's Harrisburg In
ternationals
The New York management is very
much interested in the Harrisburg
game and Manager Donovan has
promised to send the regular club to
this city. the contract calling for the
playing of all regulars in the game
in this city. The New York club is
on its way from Detroit to Washing
ton and the entire squad will stop
over in this city.
The Yankees are led this year by
wild Bill Donovan who at one
time was the star twirler of the De-
troit club. With the club will be Bob
Shawkey, the big pitcher who started
his professional career under George
Cockill at Harrisburg several years
ago.
shawkey went to the Athletics and
this season Connie Mack sold him to
the New York club.
Staff of Star Twirlers
The Yankees have great staff of
twirlers including Caldwell, Fisher,
King Cole, Keating, Brown, Shawkey,
and others while the star is Third
baseman Maisel, brother of George
Maisel, the former Harrisburg out
fielder who this season has been pur-
chased by the Detroit club from
Scranton. Maisel is a hitting field
ing wonder and is said to be a second
Ty Cobb on the base paths.
Nunamaker and Alexander are the
leading backstops of the club while
the infield finds Pipp on first. Boone
on second, Peckingpaugh on short and
Maisel on third. In the outfield High,
Cook Martzell and Shelton are the
Williamsport player being used for
utility purposes
Game Starts Early
The great exhibition game will
start at o'clock instead of regular
S.15 starting time in order to allow all
those who work at night as we'll as
those who have a chance to get away
from their Offices a trifie early a
chance to see the full game
Manager Zimmerman will put
forth his best efforts to win the game
and 1t is likely that AL Schacht will
be selected to twirl against the big
leaguers.
On Tuesday and Wednesday the In
dams will play doubleheaders with
Toronto and if the Canadian manage
ment induces Rube Marquard to join
their club Harrisburg fans will have
the first chance to see the former
Giant in action.
The game yesterday was to some
extend disappointing to local fans.
The work of the locals in the first
contest was Indifferent at times. The
second game was a pitchers battle
Harrisburg lacked the pep" that has

yellow fever has been eradiCated

This was the statement made last night

General OF the Army. who conquered
yellow fever on the Panama Canal. He
was speaking on Sanitation at Panama
before the Mississippi Society at a meet

I'VE almost have conquered malaria
by the same means with which We fought
yellow fever" said Gen. Gorgas. land
the young among us may live to see the
day when malaria remains only as Il
memory. The defeat of these two levers
was due to the discovery that the fevers
are carried from man to man by two
species Of mosquitoes.
Il consider that discovery as great as
the discovery of America Columbus
opened up new world. The discovery
of the mosquitoes fever-germ carrying
has opened up the tropics to the white
man. We beat the fevers 1T Panama at

The men who tried to build a canal
at Panama before the United States took
the job lost about one-fourth Of their
workmen every year. Before we went
to Panama We experimental at Havana
