LOCAL TOSSERS
TO PLAY READING
Schedule Changes Put All
(iamcs in Auditorium;
New Dates
The Technical High School basket
ball squad, accompanied by George
Moltz, manager. Coach MeConnell and
Percy L. Grubb, faculty director, left
this afternoon for Reading, where it
will line up to-night against the Berks
county aggregation in the first of the
series of games between the two
schools. The fact that not a single
team in the league has been able to
win away from home lessens the
chances of the local aggregation to
lower the colors of the "Dutch."
Faculty Director Grubb has made
several changes in the schedule of the
Tech team. It has been definitely de
cided to play both of the games with
Central on the Chestnut Street tioor.
; Central's game with Tech is scheduled
I for March 17. On the other hand
Tech will handle the receipts at Chest
nut street on February 29.
AU Games at Auditorium
In order that the Maroon tossers
may not be at a disadvantage in these
two contests, the York High game will
be transferred to Chestnut street. In
stead of playing on February 18. the
original date, an effort will be made
to have the Roses visit this city Feb
ruary 17, as the school debate between
Central and Tech will be held on
the 18th.
Faculty Director Grubb is also en
deavoring to give an exhibition of
wrestling in Chestnut Street Hall on
Washington's Birthday. The plan is
to have an interclass wrestling match,
together with a game of basketball lie
tweeiijtlie Hassett and Tech teams.
The game at Reading to-night will

Barney Lebrowltz, better known in
1 fistic circles as Battling Levinsky, the
| Philadelphia tight-heavy weight, has
' established a modern record for fre

years old in June ami has been box
ing for six years. During that time
he has engaged in nearly 150 battles.
Sam Langford has participated in
. more battles than Levinsky, but Sam
has been in the game for fourteen
, years. Jim Flynn in llfteen years has
not had more than 100 tights. In
eight years James J. Jeffries fought
but twenty lights, while James J. Ciy
bctt has something like "8 tights in
seventeen years. Jack Johnson, in
fourteen years fought less than 100
battles and the total number of tights
in which John L. Sullivan engaged did
not reach the 100 mark, even count
ing the 50 or so men, whom the great
John L. met on his tour of the coun
try when he was offering SI,OOO to

Jefferson Judge Turns
Down All Liquor Licenses
Without Any Explanation
Brookville, Pa.. Feb. 4.—Jefferson
county, on order of Judge Charles Cor
bet, went dry yesterday for the tirst
time. The court, in an opinion handed
down, refused to grant a liquor license
to any of the 44 applicants, four of
'whom sought permits to conduct
breweries and two to operate whole
sale houses. There were 43 licensed,
I! houses in Jefferson county last year.
I Judge Corbet was elected here in a
I ! bitter tight against his brother-in-law,
Judge J. W. Reed, who was seeking re
j election. Mr. Corbet was backed by
the Jefferson County No-License Lea
gue. He did not run on a no-license
j platform, but it was generally believed (
jhe had antiliquor leanings.
| Two brewery applicants and one
I wholesale applicant foresaw his action
and withdrew their applications a few j
days ago.
Judge Corbet's opinion was short
and gave no reason for his decision,
basing his action on a ruling of the
Supremo t'ourt. which held that a
Judge Is not bound to set forth his
I reasons as long as he has them.

Couple Married 71 Years
Tell How to Be Happy
Special to the Telegraph
Frederick, Md„ Feb. 4. —"Live a
clean, honorable and upright life, let
your word be as good as your bond j
and your existence will be long, happy
and prosperous," said Mr. and .Mrs.
Green berry J. it. House, aged !»0 and
S7 years, respectively, of Burkittaville.
this county, yesterday, after having
celebrated the seventy-first anniver
sary of their marriage at their home.
At the anniversary celebration there 1
were, in addition to scores of guests,
five children, eight grandchildren and
; 16 great-grandchildren.
Mr. and Mrs. House were married in
1845, when the bridegroom was 1!'
years of age and the bride was 16
years old. "We were very much in
love when we were married and we
are just as much in love with each
other now as we were 71 years ago,"
they declared. Both Mr. and Mrs.
House, in spite of their age. have ex
celelnt sight and hearing, and are not
troubled with "the infirmities of age."
The former believes that after a man
has passed the half century mark he
should be allowed some privileges and
therefore he revels in the luxury of
using a smuch tobacco as he wishes.
He never touched tobacco in any form
before he was 50 years old.

; turn it to the donors, according to

act.
WELLY'SM,OORNER
Harry Sinclair, according to a dls- '
patch from Oklahoma, will quit base
ball. When asked if he intended to

lie had enough of the sport. He was
the angel for the Federal League and

unless either tighter scores a knockout
or the battle is stopped. Moran will
get $-0,000 for his share. Wtllard's

minute. The public will pay.
Announcement was made to-day in ,
a dispatch from New York that there
' would be a reduction in the price of
golf balls from 10 to 15 cents each.
This, it is said, is due to the approach
ing expiration of the Haskell patent,
which passes out April 11. The cut.
however, applies only to the medium
grades. The cheapest balls, it is said,
will remain the same.
Jack Johnson! former heavyweight
champion, is again earning money by ,
giving out interviews. A recent issue
of the People's Journal, published at i
Glasgow, Scotland, prints a story from
Johnson. The former champion says
lie gave up to Willard in order to bet- :
ter his financial condition. He also '
claims that the American people perse
cuted him and forced the fight at a
time when he was not able to go to the !
expense of training.
