'DONOVAN'S BOYS
AT WORK EARLY
Resume Gym Work This Morn
ing; Anxious For Dry Fields
and Outdoor Exercise
By CY. KLONE


Morning boys" said Pat Donovan,
the manager of the Bison ball team,
as one by one the husky veterans and
aspiring youngsters of his diamond
army of nineteen made their way to
the breakfast table at their hotel
bright and early this morning.
1T may be little wet outside but
the Y. M. c. A. gym will give you fell
lows a chance to keep that pep of
yours In check for a day or so until
we can get over on the Island grounds
and knock the ball around little,'
said Trainer Murphy. "I feel fit as a
fiddle" replied a quartet of the ball
tossers, but gee | wish that weather.
man would come across with some de-
cent weather, why, / believe if the
sun don't shine soon I'll have to put
on smoked glasses to stand the glare
when 1t does come out, feel like a kid
that's been kept in dark room with
the measles for a week." said Channl,
the old reliable outfielder.
Work In Gymnasium
Like yesterdays preliminary work
the squad made its way to the gym
where they tossed the ball around for
few hours, and after a short run fol-
lowed by a little light work on the
gymnasium apparatus the Bisons stall
wart members returned to the hotel.
There was a probability that the team
would play on Academy field this aft
errnoon.
George Jackson, the veteran out
fielder, and one of the main stays of
the club wired Manager Donovan last
night that he would not be able to
join the team for a few days due to
sickness in his family.
Hickory" Jackson along with sew
eral members from the Red SoX camp
will join the pitching staff before the
week comes to an end.
All the boys look in the best of
shape to start outdoor practice and
after they once get out on the dia-
mond it won't be long before Pat will
have his eye on the likely ones and
map out their special work for them.
The Island grounds could be put in
real good shape in less than two days
if the sun would come out, and after
about four or five days work the I3i-
sons would be in shape to play some
of the nearby teams.

Frank Hart Is Big Star;
Outpitches Mack's Pitchers
Special 10 the Telegraph

Charleston, S. c., April 5.-Frank
Hart, the Carlisle pitching rookie
farmed out to the Charleston, South
Atlantic League by Connie Mack. in
the five innings he worked against
the Athletics yesterday outpitched the
three fingers who performed for the
big league nine. 1t was Hart's first
appearance against a big league club,
and he made good despite the fact
that his team was beaten by a to
l score.
1t was no fault of Hart's that the
Athletics triumphed. He ofilciated in
the first five periods. and in that time
allowed only three hits scattered
through the first three sessions. The
run banked during his regime was the
result of a fielding blunder by team
mate. Hart's showing impressed Man
ager Mack.
The MaCkmen were outhit eleven to
nine by the bushers, but managed to
register their safe blows at far more
opportune times. Joe Bush, who
started for the AS. each of the three
Mack fingers working three innings,
was found for four hits. Jimmie
Walsh's perfect threw to the plate in
the first inning, when after two were
out, II. Cain doubled and Cashion
singled to right, prevented a score.

MELLYS KTGoRNER

The Pacific Coast League started
Yesterday. Three games were played.
Fittery, the former Harrisburg twirler
is with the Salt Lake team. This
league plays the longest season of any
organization in the United States.
Basketball is now a major sport at
the University of Pennsylvania. The
Board of Governors made this an
nouncement following conference
yesterday. This action was due to the
remarkable showing of the Penn bas-
kethall team under the leadership of
Eddie McNichol. From now on every
athlete who wins place on the
varsity team will receive letter.
AS an individual the Philadelphia
National League Club officials will
take no immediate steps in looking
after the suit entered against organ
lied baseball by the Baltimore Fed
eral League owners. The suit is
looked upon as a huge joke. The gen
eral opinion prevails that it is a hold
up game on the part of the Baltimore
officials to get some easy money.
The third and final game in the
series between Central and Reading
will be played on the Lancaster
Auditorium floor Tuesday night April
last night after the game in this city.
E. c. Taggert the Steelton coach will
referee. intercollegiate rules will be
followed. Plans are under way to run
special train from Harrisburg TO
Lancaster. 1t is expected that 500
rooters will so from this city.
Those who witnessed last night S
game at the Auditorium between
Central and Reading high tossers
were of one opinion. that the local five
is the best team. Centrars work re-
moved all doubt as to lack of team
work. All Central asks for is fair

other easy victory next Tuesday.
Baseball fans are finding much in
terest in the games played in the
South. There is scarcely a day that

stars. Frank Hart, the Carlisle
pitcher. who was prominent last sea-
son in the Dauphin-Perry League was
a big star at Charleston yesterday In
five innings he let the Mack crowd
down with but three hits, and out
pitched the athletic twirlers. Red"

departure on n two weeks vacation
Edward c.. Barrow, president of the
International League refers to Har-
risburg as a poor baseball town. lie
predicts good season for his league
and said this city would not support
a class AA team. He is the only one
who has this opinion of Harrisburg.
Pat Donovan and other managers as
well as major league officials know
that President Barrow, for some rea-
son, appears to have it in for Harris
burg, and is not backing up his state
ment with facts or figures.

LAWSON STRIKES SNAG
SPccidl to TIC TcIcgrdPh

Reading, Pa, April 5.--City officials
threw a bomb into the Lawson base
ball camp yesterday. Al. w. Lawson,
promoter of the new Atlantic League,
visited city hall to get a permit to
rebuild the grandstand in Lauer's
Park, leased by his club for the sea-
son. The law on building regulations
require that no permanent frame
structures are allowed to be erected
in the city limits, and this is taken to
mean that Lawson must rebuild with
iron, concrete or other materials other
than wood. This is considered by
some to be a solar pleXus blow for the
Lawson League in Reading, and may
harm the whole organization if Law
son cannot go ahead with his plans
to put the park into shape.
