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.

Telegraph Tossers Outclass
Elizabethtown All-Star Team
The Telegraph basketball team de
feated the Elizabethtown team on the
latter's floor last night, score 31 to
23. 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

Divorce Denied Young Wife
on Old Age Grounds
Los Angeles, Feb. 23. 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.

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.
