NEWS OF THE S
GUNBOAT SMITH STILL
ABLE TO USE HIS HANDS
Cowboy Novice McOarty Insists on Be
ing Knocked Out in. Fourth Bound
—Down Twice Before He Is Put
to Sleep
New York, Dec. 24.—P00r Tommy
IMcCarty didn't get very far up the
tpugilistlic. ladder after all. Gunlboat
Smith knocked out the 'Montana cow
boy in the fourth round at the Empire
A. C. last night after 'MoCarty had
made a great figtit against the thumping
Gunner. The men had just come out for
the fourth round. -The Gunner, as in
the previous rounds, was set and simply
teeming with knockout aspirations. IM'C-
Carty, witJh the same carelessness that
seemed to brood trouble in the earlier
rounds, walked in as wide open as the
entrance to Central Park.
Smith saw his chance; though he had
missed twenty rights before, the one he
let fly landed full and hard this time
on iMcCarty's unprotected jaw. The
■blow sent Tom spinning through the
air. IHe landed on his head and shoul
ders, and Referee Dan Tone 'had count
ed but "three'' when he got up. If he
ever had a chance This beat him. The
blow took all the flg'ht out of the game
cowboy.
When he got up the Gunner was at
him like a tiger. It has 'been some time
since Smith has had a chance to show
that his hands are still good. He meas
ured poor IMcCartv with another right
and Tommy went down against tlhe
ropes, his head catching on t'he middle
rope, sending it back with a sickening
snap, and again M'dCarty _proved the
greenhorn. He didn't have Sense enough
to take a count. He got up and in
dogged fashion looked around for the
elated Gunner.
Smith was right on the job, too. He
hooked viciously with his left. LMc-
Oarty went down in a 'broken hea'p. An
a last brave effort lie pulled himself
erect on the ropes and reeled a'bout look
ing for Smith. Smith used an old trick
here. He circled around 'behind Mc
<'arty aud it served to 'bewilder the
battered one. McCarty's hands were
down and he was in a befuddled condi
tion. Dan Tone saw t'he danger and
pulled Smith away. McCarty had to be
led to his corner, a victim of his self
confidence.
McCarty lashed out right off the reel
in the first round. The Gunner waited.
He let fly a right to the chin and
Tommy laughed when the crowd said
"O-o!" McCartv was full of fight. He
popped the Gunner on the jaw with a
straight left and some more straight
lefts, disregarding t'he warning from the
gallery: "Ijook for that right."
Tommy walked right into the worst
the Gunner had in the second. He didn't
seem to have any fear of Smith's wal
lops. He kept right on top of his man
all the time. The Gunner's face was
red from McCarty's jabs. The crowd
'howled at .Smith when the Gunner fried
to sneak in a punch on the break.
Tommy was guns for a nov
ice. The Gunner set for a K. 0. in t'he
third. M.Carty took the punch and
drove Smith into a corner. He worked
both hands rapidly and had the Gun
nel swinging like a true sailor. Smith
hit MeCarty as cleanly as he ever did
any man. but Tom did not wince. 'He
went right hack and drove Smith on
the defensive.

Christmas Night Attraction Promises
Good Basketball—Pittston
Here Saturday
The game between the Harrisbui'g

strong lineup will be I'ark, captain of
the State College basketball team, ami
Hostetter, a prominent, Lancaster play
er, forwards; Diehl, of the Franklin

High school football team, and Reagan,
now captain of the Villa Nova football
team, and one of the fastest players
ever developed in this vicinity, guards.
Harrisburg has been training' hard for
this game, and, as the Collegians are
apparently determined to carry the
series of three games, the game to-mor

est. presented this season.

furnish its usual good dancing program,
and will give preference to popular
dancing selections.
On Saturday night the home team

a score of 46 to 12. The local team,
if possible, will even things up in this
coming match.
JOHNSON RETURNS BONUS
Sells Herd of Steers to Pay Back
SO,OOO Advance Money
Coffeyville, Kan., Dec. 2 4.—With the
money obtained from fhe sale of a herd
of steers, Waiter Johnson, star of the
Washington American League club's
pitching staff, yesterday mailed a draft
reimbursing Charles Weeghman, presi
dent ot the Chicago Federal League
club, for the bonus given Johnson
when he signed a Federal contract.
The draft was for $6,000.
Then Johnson, who, after signing a
Federal League contract, made a new
bargain last week with the Washington
club, motored back to his farm near
here.
"As far as 1 am concerned, the inci
dent, which has proved an unpleasant
one to me. at least, is now closed."
Johnson said. "There is nothing more
I can do. I shall report to the Wash
ington club when the spring training
season opens. If any complications
arise, they will have to be fought out
between the two leagues or between the
heads of the two clubs —Washington
and Chicago. When I mailed that draft
my responsibility ended."

BIG SETBACK FOR SPORT
Amateur Athletics Wiped Out in War
ring Europe
The year that is passing will be
marked down in the history of aui
atour athletics as one in whidh the
sport sustained a tremendous setiback.
U.p to the time that Europe became a
field of earnalgie, athletics had never en
joyed sun'h prosperity tho world over.
In every one of the great countries now
plunged into the horrors of war young
men by the thousands were training
for the festival that every athletic ert
tihusiast had 'been looking forward to
—the Olympic games of 19 16 at Ber
lin. Almost overnight ail this prepara
tion was tossed a way, and the splendid
youths who would have tried out each
other's prowess on track and field are
now killing earth other with bullet and
bayonet on the blood-soaked fields in
France, Russia and Belgium.
England, Germany, Prance, Russia,
and Austria, have lost the flower ot
their atlhletiff strength. Those that have
not been killed outright will never be
fit for competition again, as Al. Cop
land, the Austrian coach, points out.
Wounds and disease will leave their
marks on»thousands of Europe's youni?
men that wore going along finely in
their athletic development. Athletic
competition in the countries mentioned
above has been wiped out for the time
beinig and when ipeacre is declared they
must ibegin all over again to build u.p
teams for the future O'lymipic meets.
No ihope whatever is held out for the
holdi nig of the Berlin Olympics. Should
however, the impossible happen and
the games be contested, the result
would 'be a foregoing conclusion—an
overwhelming triumph for the athletes
that wear the shield of the United
States of America.
JOHNSON NOT FOR SALE
Griffith Says He Would Not Sell Under
Any Consideration
Washington, De-. 24.—"Under no
consideration will I dispose of Walter
.Johnson, either through a trade or
sale."
Manager Clark- Griffith, of the Sena
tors, yesterday made this statement on I
nis return from Kansas City, where lie
succeeded in bringing the great, pitcher
back to the Washington club.
"Furthermore, Eddie Foster is not on '
the market, nor any other of my ball i
players, save, perhaps, a few rookies,"
he added.
'I had quite a strenuous trip, but
have succeeded in h.vino the object of
my mission realized. Walter Johnson
will plav with the Nationals until lie
has outlived his usefulness. He is
elated over the fact that he is once
more in our ranks, a'.d I. above all oth
ers, am highly pleased. It is the great
est Yuletide I have ever experienced."

LOBERT WANTS TOO MUCH
Wanted SIO,OOO a Year for Three-Year
Contract With the Federals
St. 1-iouis, Mo., Dec. 24. —Phil Ball,
of the St. 'Louis Federals, on his return

ing tihe hurdle to the Peds.
Ball refused to give out the figures,
but it is understood that Lobert, in the
interview here last Saturday night in
sisted on a three-year contract at $lO,-
000 a year. The St. Louis Feds were
willing to go SB,OOO but no higher.
" We are through with Lobert as long
as he insists on his figure." said Ball
last night. "We want him and hope
wo will get him, but we are not going to
give away our grandstands just be
cause this is war time. Lobert is in
Philadelphia, and while he virtually has
turned down our offer, we still hope that
he will see his way clear to signing
at the price we suggested."

CALLS AMERICANS MOST
SENTIMENTAL OF PEOPLES
Loudon, IDee. 24.—The "Daily Tele
graiph," in au editorial referring to the
coil actions being made in the United
States on behalf of the Belgian relief
fund, w'hich is •organizing in this coun
try, savs:
"If there is a generous-hearted race
in either 'hemisphere, it is tiiie American.
They pride themselves before the world
011 being the most businesslike people
on earth. Perhaps they are, but they
are certainly, though they sometimes
affect to doubt it, flie most sentimental.
They are full of sensibility; t'heir emo
tions are easily played upon and ex
cited. If an idea touches them in a ten
der spot they give in at once and they
translate it into action, with as much
vigor as if there were big money in it,
when as a matter of fact, the only
money i n i't is what they have to find
in order to indulge t'heir emotions.
'' Take, for example, the Christmas
s'hi'p .Jason, which recently crossed the i
Atlantic bearing tlie most curifcus
freight which was ever packed on
board a ship of war—a eargo of toys
for ortfthan children who have lost their
fathers in war. That good«tfa/ry inspira
tion might have occurred \o 'Hans An
dersen, but only American could carry
it out on a scale large enough to \>rof
vide with a Christmas toy every child
in Great Britain, France, Belgium, Ger
many, Austria, Servia and Russia whose
father 'has 'been killed in t'he war."
The "Telegraph" also pays a hi£h
tribute to the work which Americans 1
have done for (Belgian people and de i
Clares that but for the good offices of
the American Minister in Brussels and
the energies of the American Relief
committee it is difficult to see how the
unfortunate .Belgians who have remain- j
cil in their native land could smrvive i
t'he winter.
RUSSIANS ON THE DEFENSIVE
AGAINST TURKS IN CAUCASIA
Petrograd, Dec. 24.—A general at
tached to the Russian army staff thus j
outlines the present aspect of the war i
between Russia and Turkey:
"On the Caucasian front the Rus
sians are remaining on the defensive ]
on account of the rigorous winter 1
weather. The Turks, with greatly in
creased forces, are attempting an inva
sion along a route which leads from i
Urumiah, in northwestern Persia, to the
shore of the Caspian sea at Baku, !
thence to Elizabeth pol and on to Tiffis. j
Their efforts in this direction thus far
have 'been unsuccessful.
" Between Kara and Erzerum, where
hostilities were begun, operations are at
a standstill. The previous intention of
the Turks to make a descent on the j
i Crimea and elsewhere along the Black j
sea has been either abandoned or de- !
layed.
"Meanwhile, Russia is preparing a
coast line defense. The Turkish fleet, |
after its reappearance at Batum, again I
has disappeared."
SEALSKIN FOR SOLDIERS;
SPRING CATCH FOR PURPOSE
St. John's, N. 8,, Dec. 24.—Steps!
are being taken by the .Newfoundland j
government to enable the British and |
Canadian authorities to acquire, if pos- I
sible, the entire •catch of the New- i
foundland sealing fleet next spring fori
use in the manufacture of war garb,
A call has recently gone out from
Canada for an equipment of fur caps,
gloves and other articles of winter wear,
and the skin of the hair seal has- been
I stipulated as the material in tilling this
| order. This is th«j seal found off the
j Newfoundland coasts in March and
I April every year and that is killed to
the number of 250,000 and 350,000
annually.
At present the annual product, is di
vided in aiboijt equal parts between the
British Isles and the United States, a
large market for the skins having been
built uip in the latter country in late
years.
Withdraws Demand for War Levy
London, Dec. 24, 3.30 A. M. —A dis
patch to the "Daily Express" from
Amsterdam says: "The Germans at j
Brussels have withdrawn their demand !
for a new war contribution of SIOO,OOO,
presumably owing to the protest of the j
American Mii.ister, who asserted that
the levy violated The Hague conven
tion. "
