YORK BOOSTERS WERE MUCH IN EVIDENCE President Graham and Others In jected Loads of Ginger With Their Addresses Special to The Telegraph York, Pa., April B.—As a result of the big banquet held here last night, 200 businessmen and fans promised their earnest support to the Tri-State game this season. It was the first event of the kind ever held in this city. President George M. Graham, head of the Tri- State, was among the honor guests. President Graham made a powerful argument for baseball as a business proposition, for, in his mind, nothing advertises a community like a profes sional ball team. He was convinced of this, he said, when, on his trip through the South, he saw what stren uous efforts small towns had put forth to induce league teams to train there. In cities like York, a whole season's business means but the expenditure of a few thousand dollars, but It means advertising that is worth hundreds of thousands, said Mr. Graham. Ex-District Attorney Ray P. Sher wood and ex-District Attorney Allen ('. Wiest delivered short addresses, in which they paid a tribute to the abil ity of Manager George W. Heckert. •Manager Heckert was also compli mented by President Graham, who said that he had passed through all of the storms of Tri-State days, and was the only one of the old managers left. President James J. Gerry, of the York Athletic Association, compli mented the committee who had ar ranged the "boosters' day" banquet, and bespoke success for the coming Tri-State season. Others who wero present and made short addresses were H. S. Schmidt, ex-president of the York association; Calvin Strayer, Manager George W. ITeckert, Charles Kelchner, coach of the Albright College baseball team; L. Leroy Reeves, secretary to Presi dent Tener, and others. Those who had the boosters' banquet in charge were James J. Grey, George W. Heckert, manager; George L. Stall man, Stuart Lafean and Bert Averill. Among tMose present was George Cockill, manager of the Harrisburg team.

Several hundred persons paid several hundred dollars to watch Wladek Zbyszko, brother of Stanislau, and Ed ("Strangler") Lewis wrestle at a local armory last night. This is what they witnessed: Twenty minutes of clawing, pulling and hauling; a right swing to the jaw delivered by Lewis which sent Zbyszko to the mat; Lewis struck after ht cried (hat Zbyszko attempted to gouge out one of his eyes; police inter ference; a near riot; a number of free for-all fights which probably were bet ter exhibitions than the main bout; a ringside speech delivered by Zbyszko in Polish denying he tried to separate- Lewis from his eye, and an outpouring of angry, excited people that kept the police busy for more than an hour. The wrestling match attracted a fairly large crowd, partly because Zbyszko has a large following among the Polish contingent and partly be cause it had been rumored the affair might wind up as a boxing match. When it did. Zbyszko's friends leaped from their seats and started toward the ring. Police immediately inter fered and somebody awarded the match to Zbyszko on a foul.

April B.—A conspiracy on the part of the supporting aggrega tion against two of the Yanlgan pitch ers resulted yesterday in the loss of the Mack kids' final game with the Virginia tars 3 to 4. Baldwin and Bressler should have had a shutout to their credit, but outfielders and in fielders demonstrated the art of throwing away a game and although pushed to the limit of their skill, finally succeeded in the final inning, when Chief Bender, in center field, dropped an easy pop fly and allowed the winning run to cross. Baldwin worked five innings and was found for only four hits, scattered through as many innings. Caruthers converted a hit into a run in the third. McAvoy's bad throw to intercept a double steal sent over another in the fourth. W'ilie performed his share in the fifth, when he dropped a fly. Bressler, the Harrisburg recruit, mounted the hill in the sixth, which went for two bases. A sacrifice scored the runner. Only one other hit went safe while the Southpaw worked, and this did not count in the score. In the ninth, however, he hit a man, who went to second on a sacrifice. The Chippewa then batted an easy fly half way into the diamond and the winning run scored. BITS OF SPORTS Harrisburg boosters arc lining up ] for their time at the bat, Al.
