WELLYS X CORNER

Stories printed all over the United
states about umpires killing baseball
attendance and games, has the en-
dorsement of every fan who attended
| yesterdays game. While everybody
! believes that an umpire like baseball
player has his off days, the work of
Mcbride yesterday at times appeared
to be deliberate. His decision on Riley
at home plate was the rankest ever
seen. On balls and strikes Ehmke got
everything on and off corners.
Fans like a scrappy game. There is
a big difference between a fighting
bunch and rowdyism. There is no
need to throw pop bottles at an UNI
pire or call him names. No ball player
has the right to hit an umpire. How
ever, the jumps are too quick to send
a man to the bench and fine him just
because he kicks on a decision. If the
New York State League game is to be
a success, certain things should be per-
mitted. When player gets real bad
it is time to can him.
The work of Harrisburg in the New
York State League for the past week is
second to Binghamton The Bingos
won seven and lost one game, scored
81 runs; made "A hits; IA errors; left
on bases, "A; and oppoents scored 10
runs. Harrisburg played nine games,

4 errors; left on bases, SO; runs scored

Mike O'Neill has a fast bunch, and
there is no reason why he should not
be up in the race. Syracuse plays the
game. They are a bunch of fighters
just like Harrisburg. Every minute of
the game the players are using their
heads, and they pull off inside baseball
in fine style.

COOKS BINGLE
BRINGS VICTORY
Islanders Take Game From
Syracuse and Umpire in
Tenth Inning

The fighting spirit of the Harrisburg
team that has brought the. Islanders
up in the race was much in evidence
yesterday. Coming up from behind
Syracuse who had a four run lead,
Harrisburg tied up the race twice, and
won out in the tenth, score o to 5.
1t was some battle. Hair-raising
stunts every minute. Those Stars, lead
by the veteran Mike O'Neill are fight
ers too. The game was not won until
the winning run was over the plate.
1t was a peppery game. Helfrich
started, but the boy had nothing
After Syracuse had annexed three
runs, he retired and Chief Gunner's
Mate Parsons went in. He shot them
over all right and his peculiar delivery
had Syracuse guessing. In the mean
time, Ehmke, the boy picked as the
star pitcher of the Farrell circuit was
heaving them over. He had a record
of straight victories to defend, but
after the pyrotechnic department of
the islanders started, his defense was
poor.
Had to Fight the Umpire
Harrisburg had to fight ten men.
Umpire McBride's decisions were away
off at times and always in favor Of
either Ehmke or the Syracuse team
He was not popular. The big crowd
of fans who broke all records for root
ing were factors in the victory They
rallied to the cause of the locals in
fine style.
Successive hitting gave Syracuse a
start of three runs. The Fourth was
gift from Mcbride who called Riley
safe at home plate without even look
ing how the play was made. The fifth
run was made in the eighth on two
hits and an out from third to first.
Harrisburg got busy IN the fourth
with three successive two-base bingles
and one single. 1t happened after two
were down, and aided by fast work
on bases four runs were scored. In
the ninth the game was tied up when
Harrisburg scored on two singles and
a sacrifice.
Victory in Tenth
Syracuse could do nothing in the
tenth. Wheat, the first man UP for
the locals singled to third, Fritz get
ting the ball after an ugly bound. Par
sons placed a dandy sacrifice and
Cook, the boy who is there when need
ed, hit Texas Lacquer, scoring the
winning run. The score:

Pop" Geers Back on Track;
Wins Kalamazoo Stake
Spseial TO the Telesraeh

Kalamazoo, Mich, Aug 2.-Single c.
won the free-for-all pace feature Of the
grand circuit races here yesterday. and
in doing so, passed the fastest mile ever
negotiated during a race on a Michigan
Mile track. His time for the first mile
was 200, while the average for the
three heats comprising the contest was
200 2-3, making it the fastest three
heat race ever seen iIr Michigan.
Hardly less interesting was the re-
turn of Pop" Geers to the sulky. The
grand old man drove his first race of
the present season. In fact, it was
his presence behind Napoleon Direct
that made the free-for-all race never
to be forgotten by lovers OF harness
horses.
Mr.. Geers is slowly but steadily re-
covering from the injury received two
weeks ago at North Randall track.
