man in Line-up
The Harrisburg Independents have
as their opponents to-night the most
fumous club in the Eastern League,

a Saturday game, because they play
a league frame every Saturday night.
This midweek game will give busi
nessmen and others who are unable to
attend the Saturday night games an
oportunity to see the Independents in
action against one of the best teams
in the country. This is the last mid
week game the Independents will play
at home during the preesnt season.
'"Doc" Newman lveader
"Doc" Xpwman, one of the fastest
men in basketball, will have charge of
the team on their trip to Harrisburg,
and he writes that he will bring his
regular line-up, including "Kid" Dark
and "Winnie" Kinkaid. Grimstead,
the center, although not the tallest
■ enter ;n the league, is known as the
best jumper in the league, and gets
Hie tip-off on the great maiority of
his opponents.
The teams will line up as follows- 1

Tech to Play White Roses;
Important Game This Week
York High, with its star center,
Greenawalt, who is leading in indi
• vidual scoring in the Central Pennsyl
-1 vania League, will make its second
visit within a week to the Auditorium
| when It will play its return game
Thursday night with the Tech five.
York lost the lead to Reading, but is
j flushed by its victory over Lancaster.
Coach McConnell is putting his play
ers through some hard training for
this game .as the loss of the contest
would practically eliminate the Ma
roon tossers. Weakening of the play
ers in the final moments of the game
was what cavised the downfall of the
team in the game against Reading.
In addition to the league game Man
ager Jack Stiteler will arrange a game
tor his second five, while Manager
Fitzpatrlck will pit several mat men
against each other.

SIR W. R. ROBERTSON
Lohdon, Feb. 15. Great Britain's ;
war operations will soon be under the '
active direction of Sir William Robert- !
son, now chief of staff, according to ;
widespread rumors.
London generally adepts the report;
that Earl Kitchener will be superseded
as Secretary of War by Lord Derby.
The London Daily Sketch says Sir |
William Robertson will receive powers
which will insure him freedom from
interference, except from the Cabinet
as a whole. It adds that Earl Kitchener I
will undertake duties of a highly re- I
sponsible character elsewhere.
Some believe this portends tiie de
parture of the present Secretary of War
I for Saloniki. where immense operations i
are said to be impending, or for a field
of operations even further East.

WELLY'S *3%; CORNER
Al. Lawson is still fighting to put
the Atlantic League on tlie map. One
thing he knows something about and
j that is publicity. At intervals he
j breaks into print with glowing stories
lof what his league will be. To-day he
tells the baseball world that he will go
as far north as Auburn, N. Y., to get
i a team and that he has eight clubs
| signed up.
What baseball fans cannot under
stand Is why the newspapers in the
towns mentioned by Lawson are not
enthusiastic over the prospects of an
outlaw baseball organization. So far
everything that has been said about
the Atlantic League has been saiel by
Lawson himself.
Jimmy Sheckard, who is trying to
j get a New York League franchise for
Reading, was In Harrisburg yeslerdnv
j He appears to be more encouraged
1 over the prospects for the coming soa
i son. Sheckard lias been assured by
the business men of Reading thai they
j prefer to be on the Farrell circuit.
It is understood that a conference will
be held this week to complete the new
baseball association.
Players in the major leagues who
have contracts for two or more years
are happy. They will not suffer any
reduction this year. However, this
will be the last season for record sal
aries. It will not be long until the
game is down on a business basis, with
salaries what they were when the na
! tional game was prosperous.
