DO WITHOUT HARRISBURG IS GENERAL

Manager Red" Calhoun is a good
baseball prophet. For several sea-
sons conditions have been just as he
prophesied. Had the magnates taken
his advice and remained out of the
game this year, there would have
been a cash fund to resume the game
when opportunity came.
According to reports the New
York League will have to include
Harrisburg when business Is resum-
ed. A circuit is impossible without
this city. With new organization
terms would be made that could be
met by local magnates.
If baseball is resumed In Harris
burg there is a strong probability
that the games will be played else
where than at Island Park. This
city needs new athletic field along
the line of q trolley line. 1t is said
that offers have been made for long
lease on several plots, desirably To-
Gated.

East End A. c.. will be in the field
again with a strong football team.
Manager Pete Shickley has secured
a large squad of promising young
sters. He will start practice Thurs
day evening and wants all boys
anxious to win gridiron fame to come
and see him at the Royal firehouse.
A series of games will include a num-
ber of the best teams in this locality.
With the annual meeting of the
Motive Power Athletic Association,
will come plans for next season. The
Pennsy athletes and employees are
going to cooperate in giving the
best kind of sports possible. There
will be baseball, field day events and
indoor and outdoor contests. This
organization has furnished good
sport for several seasons. While
many have gone to war, there is still
strong available material for every
branch of athletics.
