Williams represents the Terry Ale-1 Govern style, although he cannot hit | as hard with either hand as did the Terrible Terry, while Kilbane is of the "Packey" McFarland school of 1 boxers.

R. Y. M. C. A. to Have Strong Team; Six Clubs in the Lucknow League This Season Activity in the organization of semi professional baseball leagues has aroused amateurs. A general opinion prevails that unless players are sign ed up at once, league enthusiasts will put a crimp in the amateur game. General Secretary Samuel G. Hep ford of the Enola P. R. R. Y. M. C. A. and the athletic committee last night discussed baseball. Following the meeting announcement was made that ENGLISH LASS ADDS SPICE TO THE DISH Josie Heather and Henry I. Mar shall Prove to Be Delightful Entertainers If all Britain Is teeming with girls like Miss Josle Heather, the pretty English comedienne, who, with Henry I. Marshall, adds a dash of spice to the dish the Orpheum offers this week —I repeat, if all Britain is teeming with such girls, it is little wonder that the Crown is having trouble getting Englishmen to leave their native heath for the trenches. For Miss Josie is just about as de lightful a body to have about as you can imagine. She's billed as wee, but she isn't: she's billed as winsome, and she is. The way she sings "Tipperary" does your heart good. Her partner, Mr. Marshall, is the composer of "1 Want to Linger." and he shows how it should be sung. Marshall sings even better than he composes, and if you like ragtime, you know he's no slouch at that little business. Good Music a Feature Good singing is a feature of the bill, Bryan Lee and Mary Cranston, in a song and patter skit, being particular ly interesting. Miss t'ranston has a beautiful neafl of blonde hair, but she is obviously a bit too proud of it. The Ray Dooley Trio—yes. they're related to Johnny and Billy Dooley— tickled the crowd in a lot of cut-up stuff. The three Leightons in a skit are boresonie. Dorothy Regel, in "A Telephone Tangle" is good in parts, but her skit is too long drawn out. Lohse and Sterling, in a whirlwind aerial act open the show and Brinda mour, the mystery man, closes it. Brindamour does his usual stunts of escaping from shackles and ropes, while several men from the audience who are evidently payroll "fall guys" do some alleged funny stuff. MAN ROBERTSON.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH CDIIE MACK WILL FIGHT LIMIT RULE Athletics' Leader Not in Favor of Cutting Down Players at Expense of Game f ■■ j^ ) CONNIE MACK Not in Favor of the New Player Limit Rule Special to The Telegraph Philadelphia, Feb. 2. Though maintaining his characteristic quiet, suave way •of doing things, Connie Mack in battle array, will go to the meeting of the American League in New York to-morrow primed to fire a veritable 42 centimeter gun at the twenty-player limit propaganda of re trenchment. Mack is against this radical sugges tion to cut down expenses. He is so much opposed to it that he will fight, to a finish to have the league go on record with a regulation allowing each club to carry not less than twenty two players. "I think twenty-two players is few enough," snld Hack when asked his choice of tlic two retrenchment meth ods. "I can't see how they would run a major league club with twenty men available. On the other hand, prac tically all the clubs already have sign ed their men for the coming season to contracts. Five less players than the twenty-five formerly allowed would make a great difference to a team." McCormack Generous With His Encores I Those who go to hear John McCor mack sing at the Chestnut Street Audi l torium to-morrow evening, niav rest assured that they will hear him in all cf th" songs of love and heart interest that have made him famous. The great Irish tenor does not confine himself merely to the difficult classical selee | Hons, although he is much at home in them as Caruso himself and will render some of them in a manner that might bring the Hush of envy to the cheek of the great Italian songster, but he is so generous with his extra numbers that it might be said that his encores are really the principal part of his pro gram. He sings only once every two days in order that he may be ablo to give his audiences the full benefit of his matchless voice, and he delights to respond to the appreciation that is al ways accorded him, by singing such old favorites as "I Hear You Calling Me," "Believe Me If All Those Endear ing Young Charms," "Trotting to the Fair," and "Mother Machree." One of Ills own favorites is "In Fanald's Grove,' a selection he never fails to render when the opportunity affords, and which is one of the best in his repertoire. When one hears Mc- Cormack singing that rare old song he feels as though all the suffering and longing of Ireland, her fortitude in time of trial, her faith, her gladness and her tears had conspired together in this son of the Gael to plead the cause of Inisfail with an eloquence be yond the power of oratory. So great has been the demand for popular priced seats for the McCormack concert in Ilarrisburg, that the local management has arranged to place on sale 200 additional $1 seats and 200 additional $1.60 seats. Already there are indications that standing room will be at a premium on the evening of the concert, and in order to avoid disap pointments the management has re quested that seats be purchased at the earliest possible moment. Calder Teachers and Pupils Want Piano Teachers and pupils of the Calder school building have appealed to the public for funds to complete the pur chase of a piano. The committee includes: W. H.

"Use it to keep the babies alive," the husband and wife told the canvasser, who looked with incredulous eyes at the bill, which he seemed to think was sorely needed to keep the wolf away from that little home during the win ter. "We need it—of course we do," Ihe woman explained, "but we've go| just the dearest little baby in the whole world and we know what it would mean to lose it. So, you see, we want to save some of those little 'war ba bies' ' lives, and we'll find a way to get along without that money." One of the committeemen told that story to the ways and means committee last night while partial re sults of the city-wide canvass for funds were being received. A total of more than $2,100 has been collected and pledged, and more than half that much is believed to be due from vol unteer canvassers who have not yet reported from their districts. The general committee, Which is doing volunteer work at headquarters and conducting the relief work, has contributed more than $3,500. This sum was given voluntarily and has been used entirely to buy supplies and pay wages to the more than 300 needy women of this city who have sewn the garments for the war sufferers. The 52.100 just reported Is sufficient to pay wages to the women sewing for the committee for about three weeks. If the home relief work is to be con tinued longer there must be a more liberal response. At least double the amount now on hand will be required to carry on the work until April.

Robideau dropped Houck in the first round by a body blow and again in the second round by a short right on the chin.

In trying to avoid a right hand body blow in the fourth round he slipped to the floor, but was up in stantly. 1 louck did not box in his best form. His judgment of distance was ill-timed and he missed many of his favorite left, swings, lie also clinched too of ten to please the crowd. Robidcau was over-anxious, fie continually tried for a knockout, but his blows failed to land on a vulnerable spot. Tin; HAPPY MARKIAGR Two hearts that beat as one, of course, Arc very nice.
