PITT BASEBALL TEAM
CUTTING BROAD SWATH

Pittsburgh, May 1.-THE Univer-
sity of Pittsburgh's baseball nine has
been keeping up it's winning streak
and threatens to establish a record
in the diamond sport equal to that
made by the football and basketball
teams of the past school year. This
week the team is in the East, max
ing their annual invasion.
The coming week the team has
two of it's hardest games of the
year scheduled. First, West Vir-
ginia University will be played and
Friday Penn State, the old-time RI
walls of the local school, will be
met. Although Pitt won by safe
margin in their first game with the
Mountaineers from West Virginia
still the game was played on a very
cold day and a closer contest is
looked for this week.
The Penn State nine has always
been the chief stumbling block for
Panther baseball teams. However
this year Pitt is determined that they
will do away with the jinx and come
into their own. The chances are
that Coach Blair will hold Lang
don in reserve for this important
contest.

Sensational Playing
Vigorous and scintillating style FUR
>nished g. snowy match in the mixed
doubles. in which Miss Bjurstedt and
Throckmorton outplayed Mr.. and Mrs.
everett Colby. The activity of
Throckmorton as he played smashing
yolleys on the run and sent the ball
sizzling across court, contributed
largely to the spectacular features of
this match.
Miss Bjurstedt. paired with Miss
Marie Wagner, won place in the
final of the women's doubles on
Thursday. As result the national
title-holder is to have one or her
busiest days at the conclusion or the
tournament to-day.

[MELEYS E[ doRNER

This is trey the count ends for
the total number of runs Harrisburg
Will make in two weeks. The win
ner of the HARRISBURG TELE-
GRAPHS season ticket will be an
nounced next week. There are more
than thousand guesses and each
guess was numbered as received.
The first person guessing the cor
rect total of runs scored in two
weeks will get the prize.
The Dauphin-Perry League got un-
der way this afternoon. These games
always attract much attention and
interest this year is much stronger
because the teams are more evenly
matched. 1t is from this organiza-
tlon that many future greats are
taken.
The major leagues were busy veg
terday and there was some hitting
and pitching. The race in each
league is showing increased Interest
daily. Just what will happen when
real warm weather is here is having
the fans guessing. 1t means many
record contests, according to a gen
eral belief.

Festus Higgins Is Out
With Old-Time Injury

Scranton, May 12.-During the sew
enth inning of yesterdays game be-
tween Scranton and Utica Festus Hig-
gins, star right-hander of the Miners,
was seized with recurrence of an old
affiiction and tainted. He had to be
taken to the clubhouse and there
attended by the club physician. Seven
years ago Higgins was struck on the
head by a pitched ball and has had
sporadic convulsions ever since. lie
has had several operations but none
completely effected a cure. Higgins
thought that he was entirely well and
Manager Coughlin, of the Miners, put
him in to pitch against the Utes. He
was twirling a magnificent game un-
til one of the convulsions seized him
in the seventh. 1t is likely that Hig-
gins will likely voluntarily sever con-
nections with the club.

Important matters were discussed
to-day at a special meeting of the
National League. 1t is probable that
there will be a reduction of club
rosters and plans will be outlined
for taking care of the war tax.
War did not interfere with the
annual Kentucky Derby, held to-day
at Louisville. This historic event
and richest classic always attracts a
big crowd. The oldest stake of the
world will find many competitors in
to-day's events. The race is worth
$4,000.
Harrisburg had a hard time get
ting started at home. and now it
appears as If the Islanders were hav-
ing difficulty in getting together.
There was a chance to win yes
terday. but the pep was not there.
Old-time team work, like was shown
at the finish last year, will bring
the results. A few warm days and
then look out. Conditions were
worse last year when Harrisburg
started than now. Manager Cockill
pulled the team up and he will
do it again this year. A little pa
tience on the part of the fans is
needed.
