CENTRAL TRAINS HARD FOR GAME WITH YORK HIGH TOMORROW NIGHT NEARLY MILLION PLAY GOLF GAME Men, Women and Children Figure in This Sport; Fu ture Outlook Good Special to the Telegraph New York. Feb. 2.—Golf has now reached the point where about 800,000 men, women and children In the United States are clubbing the little balls over links. The game has made almost unbelievable progress the last few years, but the development has been all on the amateur side of the import. The professional end of the sport has been neglected. A pro-golfer in this period was one who competed In per haps half a dozen tournaments during the season, then spent the rest of his lime in some quiet spot of his home club teaching the new generation of players the mysteries of driver, inashie, putter and other implements of the game. Professional competitions were lim ited to the national championship, which amateurs liavc won twice since 1913; the Met and Western open, and one or two smaller tournaments. The pros, while teaching the game, were practically denied the privilege of showing how golf should be played under competitive conditions. Outlook Is Good Tliia year, however, will see a de cided change for the better for pro fessionals. A number of the most prominent, pros in the country met re cently and took the first steps toward organizing a National Professional Golfers' Association, something that's been needed for some time. At the meeting it was announced that Rod man Wanamaker would offer a silver cup to the winner of a national pros' tournament. This quickly acted as an Incentive, and a committee of profes sionals—Gil Nichols, Metropolitan champion; James Maiden, Herbert Strong, Jack Hobens, James Hepburn and Dan Mackie—were appointed to formulate conditions for the new tur nament. It is proposed that every section throughout the country hold a prelim inary tournament, the winners meeting in a national event, which will answer the question. Who's the best pro golfer in the United States'.' Paris Has Baseball in Spite of War in Europe Special to the Telegraph New York, Feb. 2.—Despite the war in Europe the people of Paris still find enough time to support a baseball league. Ralph Conte, a brother of Peter Conte, the Cuban baseball manager, who recently returned from the firing line, ventured the information yester ilay that our national pastime has laken a great hold on the people of Paris and after the war baseball will Rventually become one of the French men's great sports. | p illIB I BOXFORD WITH THIS OVAL BUTTON HOLe It/ion ( pilars UNITED SHIRT A COLLAR CO..

WEDNESDAY EVENING, Kilbane Will Meet Young Southpaw Boy "Johnny" Kilbane will bo tlie next champion to defend his title, meeting Ueorgo Chaney, tlio southpaw slam mer, at Baltimore on March 17. This will be a real championship bout as the referee will be allowed to name the winner at the end of the fifteen rounds. Baltimore fans are enthusiastic over Chaney's chances, basing their hopes on the fact that he is able to deal out left hand slams with enough force be hind them to fell a middleweight if they land on the right spot. Chaney has rolled up a remarkable record of quick victories. His percentage of knockouts is higher than any other boxer in the ring. Many of his vic tims were fairly well-known men, but none could be regarded as tirst elass. As this is to be a championship match the men are to weigh in at 122 pound!!, and that is a figure that; Chaney has not approached In years.

PA. $ £ ? 1 TEN GAMES ON TECH'S LIST; PLAN BUSY FO Drop Pottsville and Allentown; Take on Wilkes-Barre and Reading; Good Material For Next Year's Eleven Technical High school's football eleven will play a series of ten games next. Fall, and practically the same teams that were included in last year's schedule. Pottsville High, a team that has opened the season for Tech for j several years has been dropped. The only other eleven that will not be played will be Allentown. In place of these two teams, Fac- i ulty Director P. L. Grubb is endea- | voning -»to eecure Sunbury for the opening attraction, and either Wilkes- Barre or Reading High. Sunbury had been played several years pre- i vious to last season, while either' Wilkes-Barre or Reading would prove a stronger attraction than the Allen town team. For coach of the team several names have already been mentioned. Among the more prominent are Frank "Red" Pendergast, a Tech graduate, , and later captain of the Villanova College team. Pendergast has a large following of enthusiasts in this city, 1 who are pulling for his election. I A number of prominent Tech ' alumni are, enthusiastic about the re- | (urn of "Scotty" Cook, whose efforts j brought fame to the Technical insti- j tution several years ago. "Scotty," j who is a Dickinson graduate, is a resi- j dent of Carlisle. Plenty Football Material Whoever the coach may be, he will i have a wealth of experienced mater ial from which to pick his team. From last year's eleven remain J. Todd, Mell, Frasch, Philippelli, Harris, Lloyd, Cole, M. Miller, Wear, Fitz patrick, Snyder, Lauster, Gipple and Garman, all of whom participated in games last Fall, and with one ' ex-' eeption were varsity players. Others of the second team who are counted on to be of first team caliber are Stouffer, Krow, Schmidt, H. Miller, Ebner, Moltz, Kay and Frock. Added to these players would also be several grammar school stars who FRUIT TREES NOT BADLY AFFECTED Dr. Sufacc Makes Some Slate-: men ts* Regarding the Effect of Recent Weather With fruit trees budding from the warm weather of the past week, fruit growers throughout the State are fearing serious injuries to next season's fruit crops in case of colder weather. Zoologist 11. A. Surface of the Depart-i ment of Agriculture says that the re cent warm weather has not yet re sulted in injury to the fruit buds, but much depends upon the kind of weather that is to follow. Dr. Surface says: "The buds of apple, pear and quince are rarely in jured by changes in weather temper ature, and the buds of peach, plum and ; cherry may swell considerably due to warm weather, and still be safe if too s severe freezing does not follow. The j temperature that kills dormant peach buds, or those that are not swollen, is j about fifteen degrees below zero, j They may start to such an extent as to ! be killed by a temperature that does not reach zero. The more they have \ started or swollen the less is the tem- j perature needed to kill them. Much depends also upon the vigor or health fulness of the trees. A tree whose vitality is maintained by proper meth ods withstands the adverse effects of temperature better than one that is damaged by insects and diseases, and starved and neglected. Orchard heaters at this time of the year will do but little good. They are used successfully in some of the limit ed horticultural regions of the West, where practically all fruit growers in the same region co-operate in their use, and are for the purpose of raising the temperature just a few degrees i to overcome the evil effects of frosts |at blooming period. They are not ■ for the purpose of warming the or- I chard before the bud bursts. It would be entirely impossible to use or ; chard heaters and warm an orchard to the safety point, if the temperature should start toward the zero mark. Spraying has been recommended by some persons to maintain an equal temperature of trees, but this has amounted ,to very little. Spraying with thick whitewash has delayed blooming two or three days, but does not give much temperature protection. The best thing the horticulturist can do is to take advantage of this nice weather to do his pruning and spray ing, cut out all blighted and diseased parts, and keep the orchard in the best possible condition, and be ready to meet any emergencies as they occur. When all the fruit buds are killed is a time to prune hard to make a new set of fruit buds for the next year's crop, and to enjoy the blessings of rest after such a heavy and profit less crop as the growers had last year." DEDICATION POSTPONED Special to the Telegraph Hagerstown, Md., Feb. 2.—The date for the dedication of the monument to be erected along the Potomac river to the memory of James Rumsey, claimed to have been the inventor of the steam boat, has been changed from the Fourth of July to a later day, owing to changes ordered in the design of the I marker, which is being made by the For ben Company., of Chambersburg, | Pa. The shaft will be 75 feet high, | surmounted by an immense ball. The ; base will be in four sections. It is j claimed that Rumsey successfully op erated a steamboat on the Potomac river before Fulton operated the Cler j mont on the Hudson.

This afternoon the Ilarrisburg Inde- and Central had a hard scrimmage in preparation for the game to-morrow night. A victory for Central will be a big help in the race. The local five is certain to win all home games, and the schedule away from home calls for games with teams that have not been showing a fast pace. Both teams will play regular line ups. Rote will again play guard for Central and Hilton will till a .similar position. Houtz will jump center. He has been doing great work at practice. The forwards will be Wallower and Thomas.

FEBRUARY 2, 1916. WELLYS^bORNER With the selection of a coach, Tech will be ready for football. Practice will begin early this year. There is some talk that a camp may be es tablished during August for the stu dents who will take up the gridiron sport. One applicant for the position of coach has suggested this plan. "Scotty" Cook who coached Tech High football squad three years ago, wants another chance. He has been a busy man since he worked in Ilar risburg, and has acquired considerable knowledge on gridiron matters. There are many local enthusiasts who be lieve Cook would make good. Ilarrisburg baseball fans should not go too strong on hopes, regarding a New York State League team for this city. Those who promise to put up the cash intend to go slow. It is pro posed to start the new association with SIO,OOO. Men who know the game will 1 also refuse to pay anything like $4,000 j for a Utica franchise. Ilarrisburg! wants baseball, but backers here will not make up losses of those who made a failure with the game. If Reading wants baseball, and will join hands with Harrisburg in the New York Slate League project, back ers in lliat city should at once get busy, and put an end to Al. Lawson's hopes. There can be no organized baseball in Reading unless the New \ York League says so. Lawson's league has no more chance of getting Class B recognition, than joining the Na tional League. Interesting Games Tonight; Hassett Girls at Annville Games on to-night's basketball schedule promise much interest for local fans. Middletown High will meet Steelton High on Felton hall floor.

Stovall has been "canned," ac cording to baseball slung. There promises to be something do ing in the P. O. S. of A. Quoit league this week. Enhaut, leaders in the face, will play Camp No. 8 of Harris burg. now in second place. A victory for the locals means that Enhaut will have to take a drop.

His next real foe will be George Chaney of Baltimore. This battle is scheduled for March 17. The champion realizes that he will have to go a fast pace In order to hold his title, and is training hard. Tech is planning an indoor track mteet. It might prove beneficial in bringing tothe front promising young candidates for this year's track team. The Harrisburg Academy Is the orig inator of indoor meets in Harrisburg, and will have another big event this month. The Academy athletes are al ways ready for work.
