AMATEUR QUESTION STILL UNDECIDED-READING FIVE PLAY LOCAL TOSSERS
READING TO PLAY
LOCAL TOSSERtf
Strong Midweek Basketball At
traction; Tallest Man in
Visitors' Line-Up
In securing the Reading Eastern
League basketball team for Thursday
night the management of the Harris
burg Jndepents have booked a real
attraction. Reading is one of the best
teams in the country.
The Reading players are all big
men, and in sire alone will have a
handicap over the locals. ITaggerty
and Kerr will probably alternate at the
center position. Haggcrty is the tall
est man playing basketball, and is also
remarkably fast. Dave Kerr, who
was a big factor in the Garnets' vic
tory over the Independents Thanksgiv
ing night, is now making good In the
"big show." Reading secured him to
jump centeu when Haggerty was In
jured, and In his first game he out
scored Bill Keenan, considered one of
the best centers in basketball, six
goals to none.
The locals are improving in their
shooting and passing, and continued
hard work will aid them in making a
good showing^ against the "leaguers,"
Thursday night. They realize that
this is the hardest game they will
probably have this season, and will
work their hardest to be in shape to
play their best game.

centers the Pennsylvania State College
ever had, while at guard will be found

ALTOONA BOOSTS
PENN HIGHWAY
Chamber of Commerce There
to Assist Local Organiza

The following extract of a letter
from the manager of the Altoona
Chamber of Commerce shows the in
terest that other cities along the Wil
liam Penn Highway are taking in the
efforts of ihe Harrisburg Chamber of
Commerce to get the different com
munities interested together at a
meeting in Harrisburg in the Spring.
"Altoona. Pa., Dec. 25, 1915.
"Edward L. McColgin,
"Secretary, Chamber of Commerce,
"Harrisburg, Pa. —
"My Dear McColgin:
"The Altoona Chamber already la
committed to the William Penn High
way project as a result of a recent
trip through here of State Commis
sioner Cunningham and a meeting at
Harrisburg as suggested by you is the
proper thing, count us in.
"It's a mighty nice thing of the
Harrisburg Chamber to take the
initiative in this movement and the
rest of the organizations along the
line will get tight behind you. Am
sending you this word at once and
next week will have it officially con
firmed by our Good Roads Commit
tee. With the support of the Gover
nor and the Highway Commissioner,
there is no doubt that the W'illiam
Penn will be put over and be an
equally as popular a trunk thorough
fare as the Lincoln Highway. Be
sides it will pass through more popul
ous territory, with better hotels, and
put Altoona on the map as well as
Harrisburg."

Association has also written in stating
they would like to send a representa

The Winkle Kids
Are Very Cute
'
r
Two of the cutest little kids In town
are the Winkles, youthful brother and
sister, who are singing and dancing
and doing a little talking at the Ma
jestic Theater these days, proving one
of the most pleasing bits of the bill.
They do a sort of conversational skit
and their vocal numbers, which they
sing back and forth to each other, are
cspeciully pleasing.—Advertisement.
AT THE COLONIAL
Fred Mace has ample opportunity for
comic facial and bodily activity in "A
Janitor's Wife's Temptations." the Tri
angle comedy now being produced at
the Colonial Theater. Just as Fred
Mace is preparing to dine on a piece
of steak in his basement home his wife
(Marta Golden) makes him go out In
the hall and dust some rugs. Sl* sends
the meat up to Grlbbon, a hungry
artist on an upper floor, who has got
ten a whiff of the cooking meal and
sent down a hurry call to the janitor's
rwlfe.
A party of models come into the hall
and start talking to Mace. Marta Ool
| den break up this pleasant session bv
| her sudden appearance, but her anger
is nothing compared to his when he
discovers the piece de resistance of his
meal has disappeared.
The film goes on to show the flight
of Gribbon with the Janitor's wife,
which gives the opportunity for the In
fusion of considerable human interest
that appeals to everybody.
JACK HUNTERDIES
Special to the Telegraph
Philadelphia, Dec. 28.—Jack Hunter,
well known in local baseball and bas
ketball circles, died yesterday after a
long Illness. Hunter a few years ago
was regarded as one of the best inde
pendent ball players in (he city and
also was a fairly good basketball
player, although he did not play the
cage game as much as he did baseball.
Hunter was a capable catcher and
good hitter and during tils career as a
ball player he played on many of the
prominent teams of the northeast and
suburban sections of the city.

NO DECISION ON
AS TO AMATEURS
Conference Adjourns Until
Thursday; May Require
Years to Decide
New York, Dee. 28.—Representa
tives of practically every sport parti
cipated in the United States met yes- l
terday at the Hotel Astor in an effort'
to define and agree on the definition '
of an amateur athlete. After dis
cussing the subject for several hours
the meeting adjourned until Thurs
day afternoon without coming to any
decision.
In the meantime the' National Col
legiate Athletic Association will hold
its annual meeting and a printed re
port of today's session will be ready
for the delegates, so that they will
have plenty of time to digest the sug
gestions offered.
At Thursday's meeting it is hoped
that some tangible definition of the
question, together with the punish
ment for Infractors of rules and sug T
gestions for a partial or complete
restoration to amateur standing of
such offenders, may be agreed upon.

A FOOLHARDY ABW YORKER! 1
Once upon a time there lived a man *
in New York who rooitshly took upon
himself the responsibility of caring for
himself.
If it was necessary for him to go up
town when everybody else wanted to ,
go uptown, he made the best of an
annoying congestion of migratory bl- 1
peds, sought to stand on his own feet, i
refrained from denunciation of the .
transportation companies, and restrain- *
ed his impulse to crowd and shove his
fellow sufferers. t
On the occasions when tils desires led ,
him to the theater he arrived before |
the curtain rose. If the Demon Rum ,
called him between acts, he kept his (
seat until the curtain fell, and was
punctilious about returning before it
went up again. His seat being in the
middle of a row, he did not charge to ,
the aisle before his neighbors had a |
chance to arrange unobstructed pas- ,
sage for him. By this conduct he avoid- j
ed treading on several thousand toes,
and In all his life he never knocked a ,
woman's hat to the floor.
t
Following the announcement that
Roger W. Babson would teach statis
tics by means of the screen, it is now
stated that J. It. Bray, the man who is ,
credited with having originated the
animated cartoon and creator of the
famous "Colonel Heezaliar," will draw j
solely for the big- company; that filmed
results of Burton Holmes' two and a ;
half million mile journey will be book-J,

variety of animal from monkeys, birds'
and flies to porcupines, snakes and igu- |'
anas to act for the motion picture !

size of a postage stamp to forty feet
square, will be seen in film through its
efforts.
COMING ATTRACTION
The concert wnich Fritz Kreisler is
to give at the orpheum, January 26,
will mean much to all lovers of music
in general and to students of the violin
In particular. In the world of music '
to-day Kreisler occupies a peculiar
place. Technically at least the equal
of any violinist before the public, the
possessor of a tone famous the world
over Tor its sensuous beauty, he adds to
these qualities gifts of interpretation
both of the classic and romantic com
posers which put him In a class by him
self. His programs are models of their
kind and constitute as far as possible
within the limits of one concert a re
view of the best music that has been
written for the violin.
AT THE ORPHEUM
"Students of'psychology," says Emma
Dunn, star of "Her Price," which is the
attraction an New Year's eve and
New Year's Day, with a matinee New
Year's," must give their thoughts to
that peculiar understanding of the laws
of our present-day civilization that so
inevitably make the woman pay, no
matter how great, or how trivial, may
be her contribution to the working out
of any great problems in our lives,
which at best are only being lived for
the purpose of determining for the
coming generations how best this life
may be lived. 'Equal rights' the suf
fragists claim. When 1 review the life
shared by Doris Fenton. or rather, the
portion meted out to her in the few
years spent on this earth of ours. I
am prone to agree with them, i am not
a suffragist, nor am I an anti; just
this—l have not had the time to con
clude which Is the better course for
women In this world movement, but. If
the life of Doris Fenton is one to which
any girl is subject, then without doubt,
equal rights is the inevitable answer.

Something new at this season of the
year is a porch party, but just such
a merry stunt called "On the Veranda" Z
is the brigut headllner of the new bill
at the Majestic. Six players join in the
fun and song, and the act is one of
those scenic productions with fetching
costumes and pretty girls. An added
headllner of the same bill is the turn I
offered by the Six Malvern Comiques, of I
thrilling tumblers and comedians.
The team of Orth and Dooley, whose
names attracted the attention of thea
tergoers here, have a good comedy
sketch which' also calls in a couple of
Mr. Orth's most successful songs. Tne

To-day Daniel Frohman presents the

photo-adaptation of Henry Arthur i
Jones' internationally famous drama,
"The Masqueraders."
Hazel Lawn appears as Dulcie Lo- |
rondie, the girl who becomes a barmaid |
to keep the family out of the poor- |
house. Circumstances make her the i
wife of a nobleman of great wealth, I
but the transition in her financial and 1
social position does not in any way I
militate against her simplicity of char
acter. Then comes days of terrible I ,
trial and suffering, as her husband
proves to be nothing but a gambler and
a drunkard. At last this high strung,
sensitive woman actually faces the de
grading situation of being gambled for 1
by her husband, who stakes her against I
the entire fortune of the man who real- I
ly has loved her since she was a child.

AT THE VICTORIA
Every Monday and Tuesday are
Metro Wonder Play days at this popu
lar photo-drama playhouse, and to-day's '
presentation is said by the manage- i
ment to be the greatest Metro produc
tion ever presented anywhere.
The story of "Tables Turned" Is, |
briefly as follows:
Howard Sherbrooke, a wealthy senior J
at a law university, is infatuated with ■
Ethel Stratton. a beautiful girl, who is j
a favorite with the students. Dick
Leslie, his chum, is also in love with .
her. Dick Is from the West, working
WELLY'S® CORNER
This year brought but one new
ring champion. Jess Willard won the
title from Jack Johnson. Titles in
other weights failed to come because
there were few bouts longer than IE
rounds. Keeping a title brings money
to the holder. Once more it should
be said that fighters should be forced
to tight.
It looks as if Connie Mack knew
what he was doing when he broke up
his famous star aggregation last sea
son. When the season starts the
Philadelphia Athletics will have a
bunch of youngsters who look like
comers. While other managers are
picking teams Connie Mack will be
whipping his bunch in shape.
1 The American Association will lose
| its team in Cleveland. Ban Johnson
says there must be no opposition to
the American League from minor
organizations. The Naps have not
•
his way through college, and Howard I
has assisted him nnancially. Howard
does not know of Dick's love for Ethel. (
After graduation, Howard, whose in
terest in Ethel has rippened into love,
realizes that his family and social
friends will not tolerate her as his
wife. He plans a mock marriage, in
tending to take her to New York with
him. lie tells Dick of this proposed
arrangement and asks him to get some
one to impersonate a minister for the
ceermony. Dick veils his indignation,
but agrees to carry out the plan. In
stead, he engages a real minister, who
marries Ethel and Howard. Dick wishes
them well and leaves for the West to
practice law.
Then complications arise, and tragedy
ensues: the climax being reached when
Howard kills himself and Ethel and
Dick are happily wedded.
