ISLANDERS BACK
IN BASEMENT
Still Playing Game; Official
Figures Change Standing; On
Road For Two Weeks

Harrisburg's pace settlers wind up
the home series to-day, playing Scran-
ton double header. Winning two
games from the Miners will give the
Islanders another chance to get out of
the cellar. The local team is back in
the basement. not through any poor
work. Someone failed to chalk up all
the victories for the other teams. The
standing of the teams has not been
correctly printed.
The Telegraph prints the figures to-
day as furnished by President j. H.
Farrell. 1t will now be necessary to
get busy once more. When again out
of the cellar Harrisburg will be able
to move up more rapidly because of
the close proximity to Elmira and AL
bany.
The team is going fine. The boys
are out for a long string of victories
from now until the close of the season.
1t means much for baseball next year.
The season ends September 8, one
month from to-day. Harrisburg will
not be home until August %, and if
the locals do a little better than break
even on the road there is a good
chance to be at the top of the second
division before the last game is played
Fight for First Place
The Bingoes and Syracuse Stars are
fighting for first place. Harrisburg will
be factor in the coming road series,
as they play both teams before return
ing home. Referring to the work of
the Harrisburg team, the Gazette-Star
of Elmira says:
THE work of the Harrisburg team
for the past month has been first class
In fact. the Islanders have outplayed
all of the othe" clubs in the last four
weeks. Nineteen of their last twenty
seven games have been won, truly a
remarkable record for an eighth place
club. On paper the Islanders now
compare with the best in the circuit
and the club is now in a position where
1t may yet finish among the first four

FOX SPITTERS TO
MUCH FOR LOCALS
Wins Game From Team Out of
Form; Errors Are
Costly

John Fox, of Reading, once famous
as the Iron Man of the Harrisburg
Tri-State team, admired by Harris
burg fans, yesterday handed the Is
landers one big jolt Chewing a big
hunk of Slippery Elm bar, Fox fur
nished the moisture for his famous
spitballs, and won the game, score
4 to 8. Fox always was a good
pitcher. However. he faced a team
yesterday that was not in form.
The Scranton twirler did not have
a whole lot on Helfrich, who was on
the firing line for Harrisburg. Fox
started better. while Helfrich was a
long time getting down to work, and
he had the support of a team that
was slightly loose. The Miners were
also out of ginger and not until the
locals started to rally, did they get
real busy. Fast fielding at the wind
up of the game by Scranton saved the
victory for the visitors. Only one
game was played, as rain interfered
with the second and made two games
to-day necessary as Scranton will not
be here again this season.
How Runs Came
With one man down, three singles
in succession brought two runs for
Scranton in the second. An error by
Elliott figured. A single, double and
error brought one in the seventh and
a double and sacrifice fly one in the
ninth.
A hit by pitcher for Cook, and two
singles gave Harrisburg one run. 1t
came in the third. A single, sacri-
flee and two errors added another in
the fifth; and a single and error one
in the eighth. The score:

Plans are under way for another big
basketball season. There is desire
on the part of eastern managers to
have this city represented in a league.
1t may not come this year. However,
II inducements are offered the Harris

slider the project.
There is no denying the fact that the
Harrisburg team is putting this city on
the baseball map All over the United
States sport writer's are telling about
the phenomenal work of the Islanders.
Both George Cockill and Walter Blair
are winning praises for their work and
the players are being referred to indi-
Vtdually in nice terms.
Inquiries are being made as to the
permanency Of the Harrisburg New
York State League team. There is but
one answer. 1t is here to stay. Be-
cause of the standing of the team at
the go-off businessmen were only

Cockill brought about the deal that
gave Harrisburg a team, with the aid
OF Walter Blair, the able baseball
leader has been successful in giving
the city winning team, some people
in Harrisburg would like to get inter-
ested. This can be done, according to
reports. There are still a few shares
of stock on the market. but from
present indications will not be there
long.
1t looks as if Mike Donlin will not
connect as manager of the Wilkes
Barre team. Jack Lewis is making
good and several of the owners would
like to see him continue in charge.
