WEDNESDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG S&f&S TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY 23, 1916. Two Views of Mike Gibbon's Next Opponent JEFF SMITH J off Smith, who beat T<es Darcj-, the sfar Australian middleweight, who twice won from Eddie McGorty, one of the best men in the world, is to meet Mike Gibbons, perhaps the best man of his class, af St. Paul, March 17. Smith, through his Australian victories, lays claim to the middleweight championship of the word. Flowever, little attention has been paid to tliis. Nevertheless, he is good enough to compel Gibbons to extend himself. Wagoner 27 12 W. E. Hoover 27 17 Rothrock 26 16 Ginsihel 27 9 J. 11.

Elizabethtown led at half time 14-13, but were carried away in the closing minutes of play by the rapid flre passing of the Telegraph tossers. The playing of Shirk, Smith and Withers for Elizabethtown was good. The shooting of Crane, and Gebhard and the all around work of Yoder was a feature. A big factor in the vic tory was the guarding of Edmunds and Storey in the second period, allowing but one goal from the field and get ting the ball to their own forwards. By two cam#llations owing to the death of Bishop Shanahan, the Tele graph is without a game until March 3. Any team desiring a strong at traction call or address, C. W. Thomas, Daily Telegraph.

Adversity and old age are not sufficient grounds for a divorce, in the opinion of Judge Graham, who denied the petition of I Mrs. Jessie E. Loring to be granted a • decree from Frederick H. Loring. Mrs. Loring testified she was mar ! ried in Idaho in 1909. She is 37 years i old and her husband Is 67. At the ; time of their marriage he was a tea 1 and coffee merchant with a good in j come. At present he manufactures marmalade, but has a very small mar ket, and is unable to support Mrs Loring in the way which she believes is her due. She has a small income from which she lives. Judge Graham said: "While I realize It may be hard on you to struggle along on such an Income, I can see no reason why you should be granted a divorce. You i knew there was a great difference j in the ages of yourself and husband when you were married. Now that ! he is old and has met with business 1 reverses. 1 should think you would i ding the tighter to him. Decree i denied," DICK HARLEY IS AT PENN-STATE Must Rebuild Baseball Team; Four Regulars Remain; Needs Outfielders Special to the Telegraph State College, Pa., Feb. 23.—With the arrival of Dick Harley, of Phila delphia, the*former big leaguer and Penn-State'a baseball tutor, active preparations have begun for the Spring campaign on the diamond. 1 Harley started his preliminary work by calling out battery candidates for light exercise under McAllister Hall. Graduation and scholastic troubles have cut deeply into State's chances for a baseball team that can dupli cate the brilliant record established i last year. Only four regulars remain from the squad of ball tossers that | brought eighteen victories out of j twenty-two games to the Blue and White. Must Rebuild Team Coach Harley faces the task of re | building the team around two pitch | ers, a first baseman, and a shortstop. | To aid him fight his wa? through a long schedule of twenty-seven games, i Harley has Captain Hesselbacher and j Wardwell, pitchers. Robinson, first j baseman, and Blythe, shortstop. | Ex-Captain Yogt, catcher: Webber, I third base: Liebert, pitcher, and I Crawford, right field, were graduated. Josefson, the hard-hitting center fielder has left college, and Kominars, left field guardian, and Kaunas, the Mahanoy City boy who covered sec ond base, have come under the faculty ban for failure in their studies at the recent midyear examinations. This situation leaves Harley without a single outfielder, and minus the serv ices of a catcher, second and third basemen. CENTRAL HIGH CLASS SERIES In the Central High girls' class bas ketball series, the Freshmen yesterday afternoon defeated the Sophomores, score 6 to 4. The game was played on Chestnut street floor. Miss Whar- I ton and Miss Connors were Freshmen stars, and Miss Rohrbach led for the j Sophomores. That Camel blend turns the trick! Get the new flavor and new satisfaction the blending of choice J Turkish and choice Domestic tobaccos provides in Camel Ciga- - rettes.

C. The West End baseball team will again seek local championship honors. An early start this year, it is believed, J will prove an advantage. As soon as weather permits work will start on putting the field in shape for prac tice. A large squad will be out next month. A strong battery has been signed by Frank Heiney, the manager, Paul' I WELLYSy|QORNER Harrisburg is still on the map as a i great shooting cei\ter. The twenty-1 ninth annual State championship; event, held at Second and Division i streets yesterday, was the most suc cessful, not only in the history of j the local sportsmen's association, but in the history of livebird shoots in ' Pennsylvania. It was an inaugural event for John G. Martin the new president of the Harrisburg Sports men's Association. He was on the field early and late, and was a big i factor in making the event a success. E. B. Melrath who won the Har- j risburg trophy yesterday is known | all over Pennsylvania and in many! other States. What the members of the local association desired mostly yesterday, was a new trophy. The present trophy has been advertising Harrisburg for 29 years, and in the j opinion of local shooters should be j replaced by a more modern cup. , A stiff practice was given to the' Harrisburg Academy basketball squad yesterday afternoon as a starter for the last week of practice in the pres- : ent season. Coach Tatem ran his men ; Knight, catcher, and John Winter. i pitcher. Last season Winter pitched 32 games and won 25. Other pitchers are McClosky and Eisenberger. Paul : Knight the catcher batted last year at ! .267. During the season but 19 bases were stolen off this star backstop. The schedule this year is a hard one 1 and will open March 25 with Mercers burg Academy at that place.
