"Bobby" Winskill is the veteran man ager. This aggregation is a farm for the Eastern League. Every man on the team is a star at the game, and In addition to brilliant individual play. they have developed splendid team work. One of the main stays of the team is "Bill" Butler, the 'Sensational star of Central High School of Philadelphia. Butler, who plays at guard on the Rockwood team, was captain of the football, baseball and basketball teams while at Central high.

Captain McCord has the Independ ents using the intercollegiate rules in (heir practice so that the players will pass the ball instead of using the | dribble. Most of the victories the locals have to their credit have been due to their passing. and McCord is working to make the passing still better. MAJOR I.KAGIF.S START EARLY Chicago, Jan.

HARRISBURG G&C& TELEGRAPH JANUARY 14, 1916, Large Gate Receipts F°r Gibbons-Ahearn Battle I II According to advices from St. Paul j the advance sale of tickets for the i Alike Gibbons-Young Ahearn bout to Ibe held in that city on Jan. 18 lnd-1 rates that the gate receipts will total j between $20,000 and $25,000. The bout was originally to have been I held on December 10, but the illness of Gibbons made a postponement nec j essary. tje was taken ill shortly be i fore the iight and a record advance : sale of $15,000 had been made at that time. The promoters feared that the j postponement would hurt the gate re ceipts. but evidently they were mis taken. for it is said that the bout has |aroused a deal of interest in the nortli ' west. Gibbons is said to be worked up {over the stories circuited by Ahearn |and his manager to the effect that i Gibbons was not ill, but was running lout of the bout: that Gibbons was : afraid to meet Ahearn in the ring. Judge Landis Not Aware of Commission Dissolution Special to the Telegraph Chicago; Jan. 14.—Any steps which baseball magnates may be taking to ward dissolution of the national com mission have been taken without suiting Judge Iv. M. Landis, in whose court the Federals brought suit against O. B. as a trust, Landis said yesterday afternoon. Philadelphia dispatches had indi cated dissolution ot' the commission would eliminate any tinge of a "trust" controlling baseball, and that perhaps the magnates had determined to set ! tie the problems involved in the suit without taking it through the courts. "No one from either plaintiffs or de fendants in the suit has appeared be fore me. or talked to me about the | suit for many weeks," landis said to | day. j FIGHT ON DECORATION DAY ! New York, Jan. 14.-—The proposed j ten-round bout between Jess Willard, 1 world's heavy-weight champion, and Frank Jloran, which it was expected i would take place in this city some I time in March, probably will be post poned until Memorial Day. it was re ported last night. This step has become necessary, it is said, because Willard has informed the ■ promoters o t'the match that he can not light in March. If a later rate is ' fixed the bout will be staged in the Garden. TECH QUINTET HAS HARD GAME Will Play at Williamsport To morrow Night; Harris Is Still Out of Game Coach McConnell's Tech High quin tet will, leave to-morrow morning for Williamsport where the team will play its second game of the week | against the high school team of that > place. The team has been going at j a rapid pace since McConnell took ! hold of the team, and is picked by many to stand near the top of the lad der when the Central Pennsylvania | basketball league comes to a close. I The Maroon five is still without the ! services of Captain Harris, and the I loss of the game at Lebanon Wednes day night can be attributed to a great extent to this fact. The game at Wil iiamsport will not affect the team's standing in the league as the Bill- 1 towners are not members of the ] league. Next week there will be but j one game. Coach Gotwalt's Middle-; town tossers will play a return game in the Tech gymnasium Friday night. Those who will make the trip to Williamsport include Faculty Director Grubb, Killinger, Pollock. Beck. I Yoft'e, Miller and Lloyd. Hempstead Names Price For New York Interests Special to the Telegraph New York, Jan. 14.—Although ev erybody kept under cover yesterday, Sinclair, Gaffney and Davis continu ed their negotiations for the Giants. As the big deal has received a world of pifblicity in the last few days, the idea is to allow the excitement to subside before arriving at a definite conclusion. But the dickering, which began in deadly earnest last Friday in Delmonico's when a certain man of fered to write a check for enough money to meet Hempstead's figures, went on to-day just the same and will continue to-morrow. Sinclair, Gaffney and Davis want the Giants and at the present writ ing they are willing to pay $1,200,000 for the control of the club. Hemp stead's price is $1,400,000. If the latter cuts down his present price the deal will be rushed through in a jiffy.

Station JACK DILLON NOT KORAN'S KIND Although rumors of a iistlc en-1 counter between Jack Dillon and ; Frank Moran have been current since j Moran again knocked out Jim Coffey, i theer is small likelihood of such a i battle's being staged at the present ; time. Ike Dorgan, manager of J Moran is authority for the statement there is small likelihood of sueli a' have nothing: to gain and everything ' to lose. Moran weighs In the nelgli- 1 borhood of 200 pounds and is a hulk-I ing big lad. Moran weighs around, 170 pounds and is short and stocky., The diffepenoe in size of the two men would make an encounter between 1 them look uneven. Dillon, although lie has Hoored some of the biggest 1 men in the ring, can scarcely be! counted as a heavyweight contender. ! Dillon is one of the cleverest men in the ring, and in a short tight might outpoint Moran, like Moran, Dillon is a man of some intellectual attain ments. He is a High School gradu ate and a student of literature. Tigers' Long Schedule; No Triangular Series Princeton, N. J.. Jan. 14.

I Leo Houck's Team Wins in Game With Telegraph Five i The Harrisburg Telegraph basket j ball tlve journed to .Lancaster last 1 evening and met defeat for the first i time this season on the small floor I of the St. Joseph's team, which is cap )tained by Leo Houck, well-known | middleweight boxer. The score was j 36 to 23, but that does not tell the I whole story. I The somewhat overdone strictness I of the referee in calling fouls was re : sponsible for a large percentage of the score on both sides, and whatever j speed the local team might have been able to work up was prevented by re- I peated interruptions for alleged fouls. I many of which were justitled. Floor work was made almost impos sible by reason of the smallness of I the floor, the low ceiling, and the two (poles located in the center of the 1 floor on a direct line with both bas- I kets. I "Mike" Yoder. whose reputation as ; a center is well established locally, I handled the pivot position for the Telegraph team and filled it very j capably. Gephardt at one of the for wards did some very creditable foul I goal shooting and Roth and Edmunds at guard kept the scoring of the op posing forwards at a minimum. The ; entire St. Joseph's team played a very ! good floor and passing game, but their shooting was ragged, and most of their scoring was the result of one pointers resulting from fouls called on the local live. To-morrow evening the Telegraph team will play in Carlisle. J RE-ELECT AUGIST BELMONT Special to the Telegraph I New York, Jan. 14.—August. Bel i mont was elected chairman of the | Jockey Club at the annual meeting of 'the stewards last night. F. K. Stur- I gis was named vice chairman, and H. IK. Knapp, secretary-treasurer. The ! applications of D. A. Wilson and ! James Reid for reinstatement were II denied. The allowance of three pounds to geldings was eliminated from the rac ing rules of the club. Callahan has some grievances to think alioul, because of tils treatment by other clubs, but the "pep" he is shov - ing- in getting the Pirates together, in dktutes that i'nllahan Is goiiv.? to prove the equal of Fred'Clarke, the veteran. Another week has passed and tho proposed Central Pennsylvania league, I with A 1 Lawson as head, has not yet materialized. No person denies the hustling ability of Law son. He also knows the baseball game thoroughly, but he overlooks many good points. Local backers have not been consulted as to conditions here. The officials of the Central Pennsylvania League also want it understood, that until they throw up the sponge, the name be longs to them. With busy times at the Pennsylva nia Steel Company's plant prospects for a successful baseball season at Steeiton are bright. Even if there should be no game with New Cumber land, Highspire and Middletown, tho neighboring town would prove as good as any in a new league. Harrisburg promoters, it is said, have plans un der consideration, that may mean good baseball next summer. New Record By Jones in P. R. R. Y. M. C. A.
