Philadelphia Golfers to
Cut All Tennis Contests

Philadelphia, April 26.-Philadel-
phia golfers will probably follow the
action of the Metropolitan Golf As
sociation Of New York. and declare
Rll tournaments off for the duration
of the war.
While no meeting of the COM
mittee appointed a month ago to
consider the war question has been
held the opinion of Robert w.
Lesley, president of the Philadel-
phia association and chairman of
the war committee. is that If the
situation becomes more acute, it

Philadelphia, April 26-Pennsylva-
mas great two-day relay race carni-
val Friday and Saturday. in spite of
the defections of n few major col
leges, due to the war, will bring to-
gether u wonderful lot of athletes,
and worlds records are bound to get
their annual shaking up at this meet.
For many years the relay carnival
has occupied a unique position in
Americtn track and field sports. 1t
is the one meet that is truly repre-
sentative of this great country OF
ours.
Started back in 1895 by Frank r.
Ellis, the idea of relay racing at once
became popular, and Pennsylvania s
meet has developed into the greatest
athletic meet that is staged any place
in the world annually. Had it not
been for the war, these games would
have brought together the finest lot
of athletes that has ever been seen
on any field. even counting the pre-
vious Olympic games that have taken
place.
Expect New Records
In several of the contests new rec
ords are quite likely to be made, in
spite of the fact that the present fig
ures on the books seem to be almost
unbeatable. simpson, of Missouri, is
out to make new record for the
high hurdles. He has been going
very fast in practice recently.

BOOKS ON SALE
FOR LOCAL GAMES
1Up TO Fans TO Make Successful
Game Certainty; Large
Sale Necessary

If you are not going to join the
army do the next best thing. Buy
.a,baseball book.
If you expect to get into war buy
a book just the same. Somebody
else will be able to use it. Help along
a good cause.
A large sale of books means sue
cess for the New York State League
game in Harrisburg this season. The
books came out yesterday and are in
charge of Secretary Frank Seiss.
They are not expensive, and cost $40
each.
These books are transferable. Any
number of persons may use the book
for one game. When the coupons
are all used another book may be
purchased for the same price. 1t is
the desire to sell at least 500 books
in Harrisburg and vicinity.
E,lmira Sets Pace
Recently in a three weeks cam
paign at Elnira members of the
Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club
and citizens in general sold 500
books. Men and women canvaSsed
the city in the interest of Jimmy
Jacksons team. Harrisburg has a
larger population than Elmira and
the general belief is that the book
campaign here ought to reach the
limit expected.
Manager Cockill came to the city
Yesterday and closed a contract for
uniforms. White suits will be worn
at home aud gray uniforms abroad.
There will be sweaters and coats to
match and in addition Manager
Cockill hopes 10 spring a surprise in
the appearance of the team when the
season opens here May S.
A pormising young catcher was
signed yesterday. Dixie Carroll is
his name and he comes from the
Providence team of the International
League. He sent him to Lewisburg
and the boy got into the game in the
afternoon. Two other stars are un-
der option with the local leader.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-04-26

Now is the time to get busy and
give George Cockill n boost. The
ticket books are out and there should
be a large sale. Harrisburg's reputa-
tion as n baseball city must be main
tanned. At Elmira 600 books were
sold in three weeks. Everybody had
n hand in helping along the good
work.
Someone will get Il season ticket
free to all games at Island Park.
Fans like to guess, and they are
sending in totals for the Harrisburg
games for the first two weeks. The
lucky guesser gets the prize. May l,
is the last day to file n guess.
The National A. C did not get a
good start last night Local fight
fans want something q whole lot
better than that ofTered on the open
ing program. Matchmaker Herman
(Muggsy) Taylor said he had moth
ing to do with the preliminaries lie
did sign up the wind-up match
which was only an ordinary boxing
exhibition. Local patrons want real
fighting.

had the honor of buying the first
baseball book for this season. Sec.

The Central Board, DR.. Babbit

proximately but 1000 appointments
are to be made during the coming

for this reason it is hoped to have
only men of known ability and those
who can be counted upon to fill any
