Pugilistic Fans to
Have Special Night;
Cobb Meets Greiner
Not being able to have boxing shows
at home, Harrisburg boxing enthu
siasts have hit on a scheme to have
another Harrisburg night at Lancas
ter with a special request that Ty
Cobb and Johnny Greiner be re
matched.
Manager Harry Hensel has granted
the request and fixed Monday April 6
as the date tor this important battle.
Two weeks ago Cobb and Greiner had
a sensational battle at Lancaster. It
was mostly Cobb, but the general im
pression prevails that Greiner was not
doing his best, having had an attack
of illness two days prior to the con
test.
On this occasion Tim Droney will |
meet Jack Miller, brother of Peck
Miller, the middleweight. Jack boxed
Greiner sometime ago, but has grown
bigger and better and has been play
ing havoc with lightweights, as well
as feathers. Miller has met and de
feated a lot of good men, but he will
have his work cut out for him by the
Lancaster Irishman.
Another new face on the bill will
be that of Young Costor, of Reading.
This is not "Joe Costor," but a new
comer to Lancaster, at 130 pounds.
He wants to try out and says he pre
fers getting a start at Lancaster to
any club in the country.

GREEN BEETLE HERE
The Orpheum bill this week is sim
ply great. The headllner, "The Green
Beetle," is one of the best, if not the
best, dramatic sketch ever presented
at the house. This Chinese fantasy,
for such it is, with its mysterious air
and dramatic intensity, is really a
show within Itself. It is put on with
remarkable faithfulness to details.
The scene is the Interior of a Chinese \
merchant's shop in Chinatown, New
York City. It is a piece of Oriental
ism plucked down on the Orpheum
stage. The story is of Chinese super
stitions. The use of poisons, how they
are used to destroy an enemy and rob
a woman of her right, and fifteen
years later, of how the same myster
ious poisons are the tools of revenge,
by accident, to rob the arch con
spirator. See Yup, an educated China
man of his life, in the same manner
that he slew his victim fifteen years
before, are all graphically portrayed.
About all this is twined two love
stories. The story is binding in inter
est, unusual in theme, wonderfully
staged and splendidly enacted. It
ought to create a sensation at the Or
pheum this week. On the same of
fering pretty Naomi Glass and clever
Paul Morton come back in their de
lightful musical flirtation called "My
Lady of the Bungalow," and scored
their success of a season or two ago.
