Johnny Dundee, of New York, the Italian ter ror, bested Jimmy Murphy, of West; Philadelphia, last night, in a rattling j fast bout at the Olympia. Dundee's i speed and cleverness completely baffled j Murphy, who missed many well-aimed j punches by hairbreadth margins. On the other hand. Dundee, with straight | lefts, cut Murphy's mouth in the sec ond, and in the fourth round a right i cut Murphy over the eye, and the sixth Murphy ran into a couple of right! hooks that brought the blood from his | cheek. In addition Murphy was the] recipient of many other hard smashes ! and had the short end of the infight-1 ing. Murphy put up a game fight all the | way through. He started the third j with a stinging right to Dundee's cheek | that sent Johnny to the ropes, but he was right back at Murphy and handed > out some hard wallops to the body.

BASEBALL CLUBS PLAN WORLD TOUR "Muggsy" McGraw to Take 1 Two Teams to South Amcr- j ica; Interest at Panama Special to the Telegraph New York, Jan. 11. —• With the baseball war at an end, Ted Sullivan, of Chicago, the veteran baseball pro moter, is already planning to carry out Manager John J. McGraw's idea of touring South America next season with two baseball clubs made up of stars from the National and American leagues. Soon after the successful trip around the world by the Giants and the Chicago White Sox Manager Mc- Graw, with Charles Comiskey and Mr. Sullivan, talked over the South Am erican tour, but on account of the in vasion of the Federal League and the decrease in interest in baseball the plan was temporarily abandoned. In the interest of Mr. Comiskey and Mr. McGraw, Ted Sullivan has visited Washington and conferred with the delegates of the Pan-American Scien tific Congress in regard to the trip. One of the clubs will probably be the [Chicago White Sox and McGraw will make up the other club from Na tional League players. Much Interest at Panama There is much interest in baseball | in Panama, where there is a league of I live clubs, made mostly of American j engineers who have been working on | the canal. The plan of the baseball party next winter is to tlrst visit ! Panama and play several exhibition I games there. The party then plans to visit South America and make the trip down the east coast around the cape and up the west coast. I South America is one part of the ! globe where professional baseball ; clubs have never touched. The game | is played down there by Americans, i but it has never been taken up in a : professional way. The South Amer ' ican delegates In Washington were | enthusiastic over the plans which Mr. | Sullivan laid before them, and there j seems to be little doubt that the tour ! will be carried out as first planned j by Manager McGraw. Mr. McGraw is also enthusiastic ' about the trip and predicts that it will i be even more successful than the tour I around the world two years ago. | "The trip we took around the j world,' said Mr. McGraw. "was one ! of the best things that ever liappen led for baseball. It gave foreign coun tries a new Impression of our idea of I sportsmanship, and 1 think that if the war hadn't come soon after we I visited England that our national game would have taken a foothold ! there." Short Training Season For World's Champions Special to the Telegraph | Boston, Mass., Jan. 11. The I World's Champion Boston Americans ! will have less training for the coming I American League season than ever j before, according to the Spring sclied i ule announced to-day by Manager Bill Carrigan. Hot Springs, Ark., will be the site of the Red Sox camp, as in other years. The battery candidates will go there | March 10, a week later than usual, and other players will be ordered to I report March 17. | The squad will leave Hot. Springs before April 1. the date of the first of | three games to be played with the Memphis team in that city. Louisville and Cincinnati, exhibition stops on j previous schedules, have been dropped | this season, and the worlds' cham | pions will go directly to Brooklyn un- I less, possibly a game is arranged for I April 5' at Baltimore or Newark, j Three games will be "played with I Brooklyn, April 6, 7 and 8. The management of the Boston Nationals has announced two addi tional Spring contests with the Wash ington Americans, to bo played in the j capital, April 5 and 6.

TNTKIiXATIOXAIj LEAGUE STARTS The International Bowling League opened a series last night on Holtz man's alleys. The Sons of Italy de feated the Irishmen; scores, 194 5 to 1 4 50. Twirler Ray Collins Is Ready to Quit Baseball Burlington, Vt., Jan. 11.—Probably prompted by the fact that he Is con fronted with a big cut in salary, Ray Collins, pitcher of the Red Sox, an nounced his retirement from base ball. No explanation is made by Collins of his present frame of mind, but It. is said the southpaw is discouraged over his failure to show old-time form with the Red Sox last year. He suf fered the most disastrous season in his career and was batted hard gen erally when he was sent to the hill. At present Collins is devoting atl his time to farming. He has invested , a good sum in a large tract near Bur lington, where he plans to settle down to the qutet and peaceful life of an agriculturist. Joe Jackson Highest Price Star in Baseball Baseball fans have been laboring under a misapprehension. It seems, that Eddie Collins is the highest priced star in the game. Now it develops that the erstwhile "Shoeless" Joe Jackson is the rare and expensive jewel. In the first place Charlie Comiskey paid $31,000 in cash and gave two players to the Clevelands for Jackson. The players are quoted at J 5,000. Now a third player is to be added to bind the bargain. He is Larry Chapelle, and Comiskey paid a cool SIB,OOO for him. This makes a total of $54,000 for Jackson, while Col lins cost but $50,000. The Old Roman is certainly lavish when It comes to paying a fancy price for what he wants. News From Sportland 1 # Heine Zimmerman has been released by Boston Americans. He played shortstop and was a star for many seasons. It is said Washington and Jefferson will elect Sol Metzgar coach. The Crescent Junior basketball team has entered the field. The manager is Raymond Block, 2 44 Crescent street. The Philadelphia baseball club has released Pitcher Mattison.

Leap Year Joke Proves Boomerang to Young Brooklyn Lawyer New York, Jan. 11. —Clinton B. : Smith, a young lawyer and son of' Judge Clinton Smith, of Brooklyn, realizes the value of publicity. Just now he wishes he had not courted publicity, and most of all that he had not attempted to perpetrate a leap year joke on thirty of his girl friends. As a result, several hundred girls are making an attempt to lead him to the marriage altar. Mr. Smith, who is thirty-two, six • feet tall and good looking, sent out I thirty cards, bearing the following in ! scription, neatly engraved, as a joke: "191ti being leap year, Mr. Clinton D. Smith wishes to announce that he is still a bachelor. "N. 8.--His antique mahogany fur niture goes with him." One of the girls who received a card gave it to a newspaper reporter and then—Mr. Smith is now dodging ] women every moment of his waking I day. The telephone in his office is | kept busy by inquiring maids, most of whom wish to know if the antique furniture is genuine. Twenty accept ances have been received and only one refusal. "I sent those cards out as a joke," I said Mr. Smith in his office between I periods of answering the ever-ringing telephone. "I don't think any of the ! girls to whom I sent the cards took i the joke seriously, but since the story | has gotten into the newspapers, it is !no longer a joke to me. The laugh 1 ■ is on me now." j Mr. Smith condescended to describe 1 his ideal. She should have blue eyes, J curly dark hair, a sense of humor and | should be a college girl but not "too | educated." She should also be fond I of animals and children—and antique i furniture. "Whoever gets the furniture will J have to take me, too," wearily con ! eluded the young lawyer. A NEW OYSTER DISH j Oysters large enough to fry or boil ! are known to the trade as "counts" are much more expensive than the ; smaller variety, which are usually i used for stews. An oyster stew is a ; very good dish, but one gets tired of ,the same thing all the time, so some 1 day try scalloped oysters and use ; this small variety that you formerly i bought for stew. Match your china iin a pretty enameled ware baking i dish—this ware is made nowadays in la vast number of different shades. Butter the inside and put in a layer of cracker dust. Over this spread a lay |or of oysters sprinkled with salt and ! pepper and just a few drops of lemon I juice. Repeat this until the dish is j full then pour over the whole the ! oyster liquor you have remaining, i Make an ornamental finish to your i dish by trimming the top with oyster crackers set on edge. This makes a very pretty as well ag substantial "company" supper dish.

Get the Range of Smoking Satisfaction Roll "Bull" Durham into a cigarette and you have a smoke with all the vim, vigor and dash of Uncle Sams fighting men.

You "roll your own" with "Bull" and WELLY'SWGORNER' With the completion of the baseball peace pact will come the end of the National Commission. August Herr mann has given notice that he will re sign as president. How baseball controversies will be handled In the future is a question. None of the Commissioners will offer a suggestion as to future baseball court. The passing out of the National Commission may mean the elimina tion of world's baseball series. Of course there will be but two major leagues. Each can name a committee to arrange for the series, and have a neutral representation to decide cer tain points. It. must not be overlooked that the world's series were never successful until the National Commission took hold. Each league head will fight for his own, and there should be a disinterested party as a go-between. It looks like more troublesome times before the next series is played. The head of the International Lea gue Is determined to get what is com ing to him in the peace deal. He is right in his stand to take care of the BIG CIRCULATION BY NEW LIBRARY City's Institution Put Out Over 111,100 Books During the Year Just Closed Circulation of books by the Har risburg Public Library during 1915 was 8,894 greater than in 1914 ac cording to the annual report of Miss Alice R. Eaton, the librarian, which was submitted to the board of trus tees at the January meeting last night. The circulation during the year was 111,110 of which seventy five per cent was of Action. The Library contains between 15,000 and 16,000 books so that it. can be seen that the circulation was unusually large. The registration for the privilege of taking out books, which Is free to everyone, amounted to 11,871 when the year closed. A big proportion of the registration was of school chil dren. who are given special facilities for taking out books from the juve nile portion of the Library and for whom a story hour is given every Saturday. In addition the children are provided with a special place to read. The number of readers at the Library during the year showed a big gain as well, there having been 37,485. Of this number 12,757 were children. During the year there were num erous books added, including many purchased through the Lyman D. Gil bert memorial fund. TREE CUTTERS FINED Tony Chiara and Charles Fedrico, this city, were fined S2O yesterday at. Waynesboro for cutting down four little pine trees on a forestry reserve. loyal men first, and give the Federa!« what is left. There is no reason why a franchise like Buffalo. Baltimore or Jersey City should be turned over to the control of the men who made organized baseball costly iaat sea son. The New York State Athletic Com mission yesterday refused to permit a rule allowing decisions In boxing bouts. With six and ten rounds the' limit, the only way to get a decision is for one of the fighters to score a knockout. Fight, fans are divided on I the question of decisions. Some are of tlie belief that no decision makes the fighters fight. Others claim that many boxers take advantage of no decision by stalling, pulling down easy money and losing no title. James A. Gilmore, president of the Federal league which will shortly pass out officially, is in hot water with the Kansas City backers. The "Pack ers" will not stand for Jetting them down because there are rew stars on the Kansas City team. President Gil more has been notified that he must take over all players or be hailed into court. COLD STORAGE IS CAUSE OF ARREST State Agents Bring Charges Against People in Phila delphia and Elsewhere Thirty-two arrests, twenty-two of which were ordered in. Philadeluhia, have been made by direction of the State Department of Agriculture for violation of the cold storage law. This Is the largest number of arrests ever ordered at one time for this of fense and it is likely that as a result of inspection work that more will follow. The Philadelphia arrests were main ly for the sale of cold stora.ge eggs without labelling them as cold storage food and three for fraud in selling ancient eggs as No. 1 country fresh eggs. Other arrests were made for violation of the cold storage laws in Allegheny and Montgomery counties. In addition arrests were made for the sale of a turkey no longer fit for food in Pittsburgh and for the sale of cold storage products In other counties which men reported had passed the state of usefulness for food. The reports of the cold storage warehouses on January 1 are com mencing to reach the Department, of Agriculture and show a tremendous amount of food held In storage, but. a decline in the number of eggs. The bulk of the eggs in this State are stored in April and the time limit runs out in December. Practically all the rest are sent out in January and February as the southern eggs com mence to come in from Dixie by tha carload in March and prices drop. The export trade in eggs has not beta as heavy as expected a year ago. 11
