Of the six games won three have been away from home. Among the victims of the Maroon squad have been Shippensburg Nor mal, Lancaster High, Lebanon High, Hassett Club and the two games with the Middletown High tossers. The local five won at Hassett, Middletown and Shippensburg in addition to de feating Lebanon, Middletown and Lan caster in the local gymnasium. The team captained by Eddie Harris lost at Lebanon, Williamsport and York. Tech tossers had their best evening In the scoring line when Lebanon lost by a score of 51 to 21. On the other hand the York High team rolled up a 47 score against them several weeks ago. The team's high scorer Is Captain Harris, who has tallied 74 points in the four games that he has par ticipated in. He scored 36 points from field goals and 38 from the 15-foot line. Next to Harris comes Kllllnger, who has played in eight of the nine games. "Shrimp" netted 65 tallies for his team, 56 from the floor, while 9 resulted from the foul line.

Roger Dever, of Wilkes-Barre, counsel for the miners in the anthracite field, has signified his intention of bring here. In addition to the miners, who are interested because of the fait that the tonnage basis is used in their earning computation and because of the vari ous scales in their trade, railroad men will be represented because of the overtime arrangements. Word has also been received that iron and steel workers will likewise be represented and men from a number of trades where piecework rates prevail will also have representatives. Employments in many lines will also be represented because this question is the biggest to arise in the compen sation work.

He has proved a valuable substitute to fill in the gap left by Captain Harris. "Muzz" Miller, the heaviest man on the team and last year's football cap tain, has proved a valuable man at guard. Besides playing his man safe he has scored 7 field goals and 1 foul for a total of 15 points. Lloyd, a sub stitute forward, who has taken part in several games, has a record of 8 tallies resulting from goals from the field, while Sourbier, a sub center, has made 6 points. Yoffee, the back guard on the team, has scored but 2 baskets during the season, but is one of the fastest lads on the squad, and does not take many chances on coming up the floor. Win Four Jrf-ague Games While the Maroon squad has a rec ord of six out of nine, only four of the contests have been in the Central Pennsylvania League. In these four games the team has split even and is tied with Central for third place. Be cause of the local team's ability to win games away from home it is expected that the Maroon has a fair chance to win a game or two on a foreign floor. The list of games played to date, with scores, is ns follows: Tech 28, York 47; Tech 22, Shippensburg Nor mal 21; Tech 42, Lebanon 31; Tech 26, Middletown 21; Tech 32, Hassett 21; Tech 61, Lancaster 21; Tech 19, Leb anon 40; Tech 14, Williamsport 31; Tech 25, Middletown 12. PLAN TO FIGHT MORE LICENSES Demon Rum Due For Dire Day in Dauphin Court Feb ruary 18 Remonstrances against the'granting of liquor licenses must be filed with the Dauphin county court by not later than Tuesday, February 15, according to Prothonotary H. F. Holler to-day. License court will be held Friday Feb ruary 18. and the law provides that remonstrances musts be presented not less than three days before. Determined efforts to light the gt anting of some of the licenses are to be made, it is understood, by the Anti-Saloon and the No-License Lea gues. The applications which will be contested with especial determination will be the C'oxestown Hotel, recently taken over by Uriah Bollinger: the application of Fred W.

Despite the fact that the ancients were known to have built canals across the isthmus,and that it was quite pass able in other ways, the English long routed all their ships to India around the Cape. Lieutenant Waghorn of the British Army, to whom a monument has subsequently been erected, was the first Englishman to perceive the somewhat obvious fact that much dis tance could be saved by cutting the isthmus. Yet it took him years to con vince the British government of this fact. At last they allowed him to demonstrate that he could take letters to India many weeks quicker by car rying them across'the isthmus, and after that the isthmian route was used ' —for the mails. As for a canal, the British regarded it as a wild and radical dream. There was a Frenchman named Ferdinand de who was constantly coming forward with a project to dig a ditch across the Isthmus, but he got abso lutely no sympathy in England. Some of the Britishers thought he was in sane and others believed it was only a plan for French interference in the I Orient. Nevertheless, de T_>esseps llnal ly got a concession to dig his canal and went to work in 1858, although , British diplomacy prevented the con [tirmation of the concession until 1866. The shifting sands of the Isthmus of Suez have probably covered more dead men than any other ground in the world that is not a battle field. The slim, brown fellahs, the Egyptian serfs that built the pyramids, dug canals across the Isthmus for the Per sians and the Moors, and doubtless many of them laid down their bones on the desert. These same men, un changed by the centuries, vdug the canal for the French company organ ized by de Lesseps. They were con tract laborers supplied by Mohammed Said, Viceroy of Egypt. Under his di rection they were dragged to the pro ject in chains and ropes and worked under the lash until they died. The Sultan Anally put an end to the slaughter. Then modern machinery was brought in, and the work really went forward for the first time. The abolition of contract labor probably saved the canal as well as the fellahs. The canal was owned largely in France, as very few people In other countries would buy the stock of the company. The only other large block was that owned by the khedive of Egypt. In 1877 Benjamin Disraeli, England's great Hebrew statesman, bought the khedlve's shares for $20,- 000,000, thereby giving England a controlling interest in the canal, an immense profit from its operation and a short cut to India. Despite all these obvious advantages, British conserva tism raised a howl of protest which gradually died away as the importance of the acquisition began to be real ized. The Suez Canal is about a hundred miles long. It is cut through the des ert so straight that in many places it reaches to the horizon In either direc tion without a bend or a turn. Com pared to our Panama Canal, with its giant locks and cuts, this one seems a simple thing, but it presents difficul ties of Its own. The shining yellow sands of the desert lie In unbroken miles on either side and restless winds are constantly pouring sand into the canal. Gangs of laborers—Egyptians and Arabs under Scotch engineers— are always at work dredging and re pairing. Through the great part of Its length the ships move at quarter speed so as not to wash away the banks. Dally vigilance and toil are the price of a channel across the isthmus.

Lew Ritter up to last night was unable to get leave of absence. If he was needed Ritter said he would leave at noon. It Is understood that Howard Earle who was here two weeks ago, will first report conditions as he found them. Harrisburg's representative will be given a chance to be heard, and Reading will make a formal bid for one of the franchises. Nothing Is known definitely here as to what proposition the League will make to Harrisburg or Reading. Dur ing last week, Utlca signed several players and it was reported that new backers might take hold of the team. At Albany an announcement was made that the franchise was worth SB,OOO. It is said that Manager Cockill came to Harrisburg on advice of John K. Tener, president of the National League, and that he will have some Information to give out as to Induce ments offered for placing a New York State League team in Harrisburg.

This city wants professional baseball, but it must be on a strictly business basis. There will have to be another meet ing of the New York State Lieague be fore the season's plans are complete. Why not hold the next session in this city? If reports are true about high base ball salaries, there are many stars who will have to pay a large income tax. It might be interesting to know what Bennie Kauff. Ty Cobb, Jess Willard, Eddie Collins, Harry Sinclair and Frank Moran say about their respect ive incomes when they report to the government. They have but one more month to do it. Advertising a town through the me dium of expert trapshooters and an active shooting association has brought good results for Harrisburg.

Rather, Gotch has contracted to go touring with a circus, starting out the last week in April and showing for 200 days if business proves good. The arrangement Is to have Gotch meet all comers from day to day, for feiting "big" money whenever he fails to throw his opponent. It is said Gotch will receive in the neighborhood of SI,OOO a day. Jess Willard, the heavyweight champion, has signed to go out with the same show. The owners of the circus have given Willard permission to engage in two fights, one in New York and one in the South or West, but they must take place before April 15.

Johnston, outfielder. PERSONAL Effective March 1, the price of the Chalmers Six-40 will be $1450 f. o. b. Detroit. This is an increase of SIOO over the present price. It is made necessary by the sharp rise in cost of raw materials. Aluminum which sold for 19 cents a pound only a few months ago now brings 53 cents. Copper has risen from 14 cents to 24 cents. Vanadium Steel a year ago brought $1.85 a pound. Now it sells for $8.50. High-Speed Steel formerly at a $1.05 a pound now is worth $3.35. Leather formerly 20 cents a foot now brings 33 cents. And so on. All told, it costs $118.22 more in raw material to build the Six-40 than it did some months ago. As this amount is considerably in excess of our net profit per car, only two courses were open to us. One was to raise the price. The other was to lower the quality. To follow the latter course meant a "one-year" car. This kind of an automobile Chalmers has never built and never will build. Therefore, a rise in price was the only procedure pos sible. We regret that an increase in price is necessary, but we feel that other manufacturers of automobiles will be forced to either increase the price or use a lower grade of materials. For it is not possible to buy superior products in the open market at any less price than Chalmers pays. We think it only fair to those who have planned to pur chase the Six-40, and have been quoted the $1350 price, to take this opportunity of saying that we will accept orders at that price up to midnight February 29. Thereafter the price of $1450 f. o. b. Detroit will prevail.

They, too, have traveled many thousand milles to get into the game. This year John G. Martin, president of the Harrlsburg Shooting Associa tion, hopes 1o give this city a further boost. He is planning a number of events and at intervals champions from other States will come here. Someday he hopes to land one of the big Inter state events or a world's handicap contest. Baseball managers will have their troubles between now and the time for opening the season. They must, pick a team, and with a limited number of players. It will keep them guessing as to who will be let out. This season players will not have strings tied to them. When they go, it will be as free agents. Joe Chabek. the Harrlsburg pitcher who was a Tri-State star and was taken over by Brooklyn, will play at Oakland, Cal., this year. It was Cha bek's wish to get away from the East. Me is not all in by any means; in fact there are many managers who believe he will be a shiner this season. His friends here hope so.
