There is nothing temporary about the

First Game in Series at Island

New Men

With a determination to get into
a winning stride, the islanders will
start their second home series at
Island Park tomorrow. Veterans

New York State League that will be
able to touch Harrisburg once in a
real winning stride.
New faces are expected in the
lineup in the opening game to-mor-
row afternoon with Syracuse.
Holmes the new first baseman is
showing good work, and hopes to be
a big factor in local victories. Lay
den is expected here for the SYRIA
cuse series.
No Excuses For Poor Work
Manager Cockill is Offering no eX-
cuses for the shortcomings of the
local players. He admits there were
conditions not favorable to baseball,
and that breaks went the other way,
but also wants it understood that
there were times when baseball was
not in evidence in the work of Har-
risburg players. He is confident that
there will be change for the better
soon.
Rain prevented a game with Utica
yesterday. The series with the Utes
ends to-day, weather permitting.
Harrisburg is scheduled for three
games with Syracuse. Next week

that Popf broke the big Cub twirler's
string with a single.
Previous No-Hit Games
Theh major league annals for the
past seventeen years show that the
greatest number of no-hit games
pitched in any one season was in
1908, when there were four in the
American and two in the National
League. In 1900, 1906 and 1916 four
such feats were recorded. With vir-
tually five months of schedule play
ahead it would appear as though
the 1917 corps of twirlers had an
new figures in this direction since
three more no-hit games will sur
pass the total mare in 1908.
Various reasons have been advanc-
ed for the present number of these
remarkable pitching feats. including
lack of hitting due to cold weather,
low visibility owing to the gray DAYS
of the past few weeks and extraor-
dinary conditions and control on the
part of the hurlers. None appears

large scoring games have not been
infrequent this spring.

PRESIDENT IS
SPORT BOOSTER
Favors Continuation of Col
lege and School Athletics
as Defense Feature

Washington. May 2S. - Wholesale
abandonment of college and school
athletic sports during the war is not
advisable. President Wilson believes,
not because of their value to divert
the American people. but because they
contribute to national defense. In a
letter to Lawrence Perry. of the New
York Evening Post. the President
said
Favors Athletics
"I entirely agree with the conclu-
sion contained in your letter of May
18th. 1 would be sincerely sorry to
see the men and boys in our colleges
and schools give up their athletic
sports and hope most sincerely that
the normal course of college sports
will be continued as far as possible,
not to afford a diversion to the Amer
lean people in the days to come when
we shall no doubt have our share of
mental depression, but as real con-
tribution to the national defense, for
our young men must be made phys
ically fit in order that later they may
take the place of those who are now
of military age and exhibit the vtgor
and alertness which we are proud to
believe to be characteristic of our
young men,"

MINORS FAIL TO
END DISPUTE
Deadlocked on Plan For In
terleague Series; Meet
Again Saturday

Chicago. May 2S.-When the club
owners of the American Association
met again yesterday in an effort to
determine whether to abandon the
scheduled interleague series with the
International League. they were still
deadlocked. Final action on the ques-
tion was prevented yesterday by the
absence of o. II. Wathen. of the Lou
isville club.
James McGnl. of Indianapolis, and
Roger Bresnahan, of Toledo, with Mr..
Wathen, were said to compose the
faction opposed to the move OF Pres
ident Hickey abandoning the series.
Joseph Tinker. OF Columbus; ]. w.
Norton, of st. Paul: NJ. Il. Cantillon,
of Minneapolis; a. +. Timme, of Mil
waukee. and George Tebeau. of Kan
sas City, are backing the league head.
Series an Experiment
Before leaving for Toledo Tinker
said that in his opinion the series was
an experiment that should not be at
tempted at this time.
I'VE are in the throes of war;" he
said. Our players are liable to the
draft and no man can tell what the
next few months will bring forth. So
far as I'm concerned the series will
not be played"
McGill announced that the Indian
apolis club would go through with
the series If they had to play the
games single handed. The argu-
ment was made in good faith and
there is no good reason for breaking
it, he said.
% Go
ing that the American Association
season be split in two and the win
ners in each play a series for the
championship. instead of the inter
league games, but this did not ap-
pear to meet with favor.
