and Cumberland Baseball Clubs. Blue
Ridge League, here last night, the
pennant for the past season was
awarded to Hagerstown. Every club

time ago filed protest on the ground
that Hanson Horsey, a HagerstoWn
pitcher, who had won several games
was never regularly signed by Ha-
gerstown.
President J. V. Jamison.. Jr.. of tho
league, took into consid GRAFTON the
fact that Martinsburg had freuuentlv
violated the same rule. Secretary
Farrell, of the National Association.
notified President Jamison that he
had only received seventeen con-
tracts from Martinsburg for the sea
son and the club had used thirty-two
players. Martinsburg claimed their
players all had contracts. but that
some were not sent in. President
Jamison said Hagerstown made af
fldavit that Horsey had signed a con-
tract The treasurer filed a complete
report and each club will draw bacl,

Everything is being done by Coach

games of the season.

Wolfe injured his ankle badly and
there, is a possibility that he will be
unable to play the Steelton and Read
ing games. Highs biggest contests

staggering blow to old High, as his

That Harrisburg is considered a
good city for sports is again proved
in the selection of Harrisburg for the
big Army game Saturday. The ia

Philadelphia, Oct. 10.-The shoot
of the Independent Gun Club. held
at Holmesburg junction yesterday.
took on the phase of the play of
Hamlet without the melancholy
Dane. The shoot was a special af-
fair, rendered as a compliment to
Fred Stone, the comedian, who is
an expert wing shot and who has
a host of friends among the trap
shooting fraternity.
The shoot was divided into four
events at twenty-five targets each.
The best score of the day was made
by Slear. the Collingswood, N. j.,
expert, who grassed ninety-four of
his 100 birds. He got twenty-four
the first time up. In the next two
events he lost two birds each time,
but coming back for his final he got
them all but one. Slear, being pro-
fessional, did not count in any of
the prizes offered. +. A. Godcharles,
of Harrisburg, made the best score
CT the day among the amateurs,
coming within one bird of Slears' rec
ord. He only broke twenty-one clays
the first time up. but was steadier
after that and got twenty-four each
time. Calvin, the Wilmington pro-

score of ninety-three. He broke them
iu the following order. Twenty-Five,

RAIN IS HELP
TO GIANT CREW
General Belief Prevails That
Rest Will Put New York
in Running

New York. Oct 1O.-There is little
change in the baseball situation here.
Ihe delay is undoubtedly in favor of
the, Giants. The White SoX gained
losers. for they had the Giants on the
run and had hoped to keep them run
ming until the series was finished.
\, The rest allows ample time for the
feats and also for the frayed pitching
department to recover it's balance.
For the Giants it is like starting the
series all over again. except for the
TWO victories held by the White SoX.
Snllee Needed Rest
Sallee had a hard game to pitch
saturday, but this. day of grace will
permit him to go against the Sox
eides. As to the other pitchers,
Schupp. Perritt, Anderson and Tes-
reau, none. worked long enough on
sunday to impair their usefulness for
tage of the. layoff to-day is in AFFORD
ing time for the Giants to recover
their morale. That licking given
them Sunday shook their very foun-
n,tcR't That :. Eddie e, c. cieotts will get the
seems surety. He has had three
day days of rest and is ready to go in
er: lnasmuch as Sallee is the logical
pitcher to work for the Giants, the
Two veterans will likely repeat their
pitching duel which featured and
opened the series on Saturday. Sal
lee pitched good ball on Saturday and
the SoX paid him the honor of say
ing that he made better use of his
brains when pitching than any of the
other Giant pitchers they have looked
over.
When official announcement was
made that there would be no game
both the Giants and White Sox were
already at the ground, besides some
10000 early spectators who had taken
a chance and slipped through the
gates when they were first opened.
The ball players beat q retreat to
their hotels and the corraled specta-
tors Were given rain checks that per-
nit them to occupy the seats they
had engaged for this afternoon.
There was no real kicking, but there
was considerable disappointment
Garry Hermann. chairman of the
National Commission. was one of the
injured victims of the train wreck.
He didn't have any bones broken or
was not mangled to any extent. but
he was given hard shaking up. He
was reclining in his berth when the
pump came and his neck and shoul-
ders We're badly wrenched This
morning he was around his room, but
could not get a collar on and gave
every appearance of suffering from
shock. He was treated twice by a
physician to-day and expects to be
able to attend the game.

lis that Coach George Cockill has the
team to make good. Lebanon High
will be the next attraction.
Harrisburg Academy is scheduled
to meet Reading High, Saturday. If
arrangements can be made this game
may be played in the morning, be-
cause of the Army game in the aft
ernoon.
Blair Smith is putting up a great
game at halfback in the daily scrim-
images. He weighs 140 pounds

has everything but the weight
Buzz" is fast and as slippery as an
eel and no one on the team is a
harder tackler. If it were not for the
fact that he weighs only 10 pounds,
Wingeard would be a regular back.
Jupiter Pluvius was q big help to
the Giants yesterday. His efforts
prevented a third game in the worlds
series, gave New York much need
ed rest. Manager McGraw is still OF
the belief that the championship will
not be decided in the eastern metro
polls.

Bacelli Scores New
Worlds TrOt Mark;
Wins Large Stakes

Lexington, KY, Oct. 10.-Four
good races were decided at the Grand
Circuit meeting here yesterday, the
2.OS trot, won by Bacelli. being the
most hotly contested and decidedly
the best race on the card. 1t took SIX
heats for Bacelli to win, but in so
doing the worlds record for six
heat race made last week by Ina jay,
in the Transylvania, was broken. The
2.06 pace also took six hard heats
before Helen Chimes was proclaimed
winner. The $4,000 dinner stakes and
$4,000 Cumberland were easy for
Miss Bertha Dillon and Little Frank
D., respectively.
The EOS trot came first on the
card. The veteran Ross b, won the
first two heats in 2.05 IA and
2.O51a and then Murphy won a heat
with Peter Chenault Bacelli, after
being way back the first two heats,
stepped up into second place the
third round and was a close second
to Peter Chenault. Bacelli then won
the final three heats without being
fully extended, the six heats con-
stituting a new worlds record for a
siX-heat race.
The 2.06 pace was bitterly fought,
Young Todd taking the opening heat
from Barlight, in 2.05 IA. The sec
ond went to Helen Chimes, an out
slider in the betting, in 2.04 ga, while
Peter Nash came along to win the
third in still faster time, 2.04 u
Young Todd then took the fourth
and seemed a certain winner, but
Helen Chimes beat him back in the
fifth, Peter Nash this time finishing
second. In the final Peter Nash this
time finishing second. In the final
heat. in which there but Helen
