CENTRAL TRIMS TECH—LOCAL FANS IN DEEP GLOOM
LADIES DAY FOR
CHAMPION JESS
Big Fellow to Entertain Fair
Sex Every Friday Afternoon;
Enthusiastic Fans
Special to the Telegraph
\"ew York. March I.—The presence
of a dozen or more women at Jess Wil
lard's training quarters at the Pioneer
A. C. yesterday has caused Willard to
net aside every Friday afternoon as
"ladles' day" at his camp. The first
"ladies' day" will be on Friday after
noon of this week. Not only will Wil
lard go through his training routine,
but also will Johnny Krtle, the ban
tamweight champion.
Since it. was announced that a sec
lion could be reserved for women and
their escorts at the Willard-Moran
glove contest, which is to be held at
Madison Square Garden on March 25.
the interest shown in boxing by women
has been surprising, according to the
ticket sellers.
Women Fans Increase
A few months ago the presence of
women at the ticket office of the Oar
den looking for pasteboards was un- (
lieard of. Every day now women step ,
right tip to the window and buy seats
for the bout. Few women have at
tended boxing bouts in New York, but
the Willard-Moran bout may establish
a fad.
The women who saw Willard box at'
the Pioneer Club were the most en- 1
thusiastic spectators in tlie hall. When
the champion and Walter Monahan
started to mi\ it up and slam each
other for all they were worth it was I
the women spectators who led the ap- i
plause. The champion and his i
sparring partner went about their
work with a vengeance.
GIRLS PLAY FAST GAME
In the girls' interclass series at Cen-]
tral high school, the Juniors yesterday j
won from the Freshmen; score 15 to
7; and the Seniors defeated the Sopho
mores, score 14 to 10. Both games,
were closely contested.

Weeks Declares Democrats
Lead in Extravagances
Special to the Telegraph
Philadelphia, March i.—Attacking;
the record of the present Democratic
administration as inconsistent with the I
national platform upon which Presl-i
dent Wilson was elected. Senator John
W. Weeks, of Massachusetts, last I
night delivered an address on "The |
Finances of the United States," at a <
reception given in his honor in the I
Union League. He declared that after |
the platform makers had taken a
spectacular stand for economies in
government there was no practical
evidence to show the declaration has |
been given any consideration. In
stead Its extravagances have exceed- S
ed any In the history of the nation, I
he stated.
Senator Weeks mentioned the "so-1
called Shipping bill." which, he said,
"was to be renewed at this Congress. I
The bill last year carried an appro- !
priation of $40,000,000. An appro
priation of $3,000,000 to carry outl
the conditions imposed in the Nica
ragua treaty recently ratified, the
value of which Senator W f eeks regard
ed as doubtful. The bill, which has
already passed the House of Repre
sentatives, carrying an appropriation
of $25,000,000 for the construction of
good roads, was characterized as a
"bottomless pork barrel." A proposi
tion now pending in the Senate for
the erection of an armor factory at j
a cost of $11,000,000 was also attack
ed.

in explaining the budget, said it was
expected to realise more than
500,000,000 rubles from now sources
of revenue created by the state of war. i
He had such confidence in the spirit of ;
tlie Russian people to make pertna-1
nent the advantages gained by temper- j
ance, he added, that he was loading |
himself with the heavy responsibility j
of drafting urgent legislation and de- !
vising taxes to cover the diminution ,
of receipts caused by cessation of the
sale of liquor so as to avoid all tempta- 1
tion to return to the past.
London, March 1. —The newspapers!
this morning dwell on the fact that
this Is the last day for voluntary en
listment in the British army and that ]
it is also the first In what is called the
new German submarine campaign.
Large numbers of recruits pre
sented themselves during the last few i
days at British recruiting offices to es- i
cape the odium of being forcibly en- j
rolled under the compulsion act, but j
it is remarked that there has been no
overwhelming rush of recruits.
CENTRAL WINS IN
GAME WITH TECH
Thomas Is Big Scoring Star;
Harris Prominent in
Good Work
Central High tossers last night se
cured a stronger grip on the Centra)
Pennsylvania interscholastic cham
pionship chances by defeating Tech
five; score, 38 to 34. The Reserves
evened up. Tech's squad winning from
Central; score. 26 to 35.
The big game was fast. Both teams
showed special work near the finish.
Central had the lead, but at times fell
down in tossing and other work, and
had Tech shown any kind of team
work at these stages the score would
have been different.
Central's goal shooting was an in
teresting feature. Thomas was leader
for the victors, scoring 22 points. Rote
and Hilton did good work. Harris was
Tech's star, scoring 20 of the 24 points.
Horace Geisel was referee and his
work was very satisfactory. The line

French Are Confident of
Ability to Hurl Back Any
New Assaults by Germans
By Associated Press
Paris, March I.—That the situation
around Verdun is now well In hand
and considered quite satisfactory from
the French point of view is freely
stated by the military experts. To the
northeastern part of the stronghold
the chief effort of the Germans seems
to be directed to the rescue of the
Brandenburgers who remain cooped
up In the ruined casemates of Fort
Douaumont.
The development of the German op
erations southeast of Verdun is inter
preted by the observers as preliminary
to an attempt to' assail the French
positions on the Meuse Heights
through two principal gaps through
the woods which are protected by Fort
Tavannes, east by northeast of, Ver
dun and southeast of Fort Douau
mont, and by Fort Rozelier to the
southeast of the fortress.
Both sides are profiting by the per
iod of comparative calm to bring up
fresh forces and supplies of ammuni
tion. While it is realized that the
Germans have not yet reached the
limit of their offensive resources, it is
stated that any fresh onslaught on
their part is awaited by the French
with supreme confidence in their abil
ity to hurl it back.
Pick Penn State Athletes
For Big Indoor Track Meet
State College, Pa.. March I.—Final
trials were held at Penn State yester
day to select the athletes who will
wear the Blue and White at the Inter
collegiate games to be held Saturday
at Madison Square Garden. Track
Coach Mnrtin is elated over the results
of the time trials and he expects to
have Penn State represented by three
teams that will duplicate last year's :
showing, when State's sprinters won
the short distance relay race from
Cornell, Harvard, Yale, Massachusetts
Tech and Pennsylvania.
Martin is pleased with the hurdling
team, whose time trials indicate that
any college hnrdlers who may win
from State in the 75-yard high hurdle
event will have to better the world's
record.

DECRY LICENSING
OF LENNOX HOTEL
[Continued From Ijr.st I'a go.]
traveling public. Furthermore, he!
said, be had never heard anyone ask !
for hotel accommodations at the Len- I
nox.
What the Public Avoids
The fact that the north side of Mar- 1
ket street was more generally traveled !
by people en route to and from their i
homes on the Hill was attributed by 1
Mr. Barker to the presence of so manv I
hotels on the south side. They used
the upper side of the street, he said, I
because they were not so subject to '
insult and inconvenience due to the
liquor emporiums on the lower side
Even though the State legalized the
•sale of liquor, Mr. Barker declared, he
does not believe in the licensing of
hostelries.
''ln other words, you do not think it !
riant that any hotels should be'
licensed ?" demanded Mr. Bergner. I
'"I do not." said the witness.
As to Weaning
Mr. Affleck's objection was equally I
drastic. Enough hotels exist, lie said, !
for the accommodation of the public.
Nor was a license necessary, he added,
and referred to the Commonwealth as
an unlicensed place which "seems to
be doing very well." Furthermore,
Mr. Afljeck doesn't believe that Ger
man. I'rench and other people who
have been accustomed to having their
beer and wine would suffer for the
lack of it.
. "Would you say that it Isn't a neces
sity for our German people?" asked
Mr. Bergner.
"Well." returned Mr. Affleck grave
ly, "I think they could be weaned."
The grave danger, Mr. Affleck
pointed out, lay in the fact that every I
liquor sales place brings new converts
to its cause.
"As a manufacturer who has seen a I
great deal of the results of this," went
on the head of one of Harrisburg's
biggest shoe concerns. '"l've seen so
many instances where the liabit grew
so upon men that they couldn't give
It up.
Tlic Business Mail's Viewpoint
"Men who are employed as. travel- i
ing salesmen are not being given the!
same consideration if they are drink- !
ing men. Finns arc cutting out the
drinking men more and more. The
number of drinking men who are em
ployed to-day is much smaller than
the number employed twenty years
ago."
Mr. Bergner, incidentally, doesn't
believe the newspapers and took occa
sion in cross-examining Mr. Affleck to
get his views on the subject before the !
public. In questioning Mr. Affleck as
to whether he thought there is need
for more hotels the attorney for Fish
man asked;
Naughty Newspapers
"Do you believe anything you see In
the newspapers, Mr. Affleck?" he
asked, "or are you like myself—nelieve
Both Ing you read In the papers?"
Mr. Affleck admitted he believed
"some things."
S. C. Boyer said he thinks there are
enough hotels and that he had never
heard >iny demand for anything else
than sleeping accommodations. And
he had been dealing, he said, with
traveling .salesmen for twenty years.
Charles L. Boyer, an ex-poor di
rector, followed. He, too, thinks there
are enough hotels.
"Why," smilingly inquired Mr. Berg
ner, "surely you are not opposed to the
sale of liquor?"
A Joke—Kh. What?
"Well, I should think you should
know about that." grinned the man
who was elected to the poor board on
the Prohibition ticket.
Following the hearing of the remon
strance against the granting of a
license to Samuel Fishman, proprietor
of the Lennox, the hearings on the
applications for rellcensing hotels In
the county were begun with the con
sideration of the request by William
H. Bowntan for the privilege at the
St. Lawrence Hotel, In Berrysburg. An
attempt to license this hostelry last
year failed.
The next remonstrance, to be con
sidered was the petition directed
against A. P. Schaffstall, who wants a
relicense for his hotel in the Smith
building. Market street. West ward,
Lykens. This was uegun late this aft
ernoon.

Central's victory over Tech last night
brought many expressions of satisfac
tion from local basketball fans. Much
credit for the good work belongs to
Coach McCord. lie has worked hard
to get a winning team. The work of
Central in the past six games was
above that of other teams and a gen
eral opinion prevails that in winning
the scholastic pennant Central tossers
did so because they played the best
game.
Waynesboro is making elaborate
preparations for the game Friday
night, when the Harrlsbutg Telegraph
tossers meet the champion live of that
pjace, the Alphas. Here is how they
announce the game: "The Ilarrisburg

are ex-college stars, but the Alpha
club members are not uneasy, as they
expect to coma off t he floor victorious."
William C. Bruce, the big, red
haired center of the Academy basket

field Fackler, trustee for Walter C.
Basklns. and C. E. Hoover, were not
heard, as Hoover withdrew his re
quest. No remonstrance had been filed
against these places, but the question
would have ben considered by the
court because of the fact, that two
applicants desired the place. Hoover
having withdrawn. Fackler accord
ingly lifted his license yesterday.
Both the Grantville Hotel, Grant
vllle,- and Shell's Tavern. Shellsville,
were rellcenscd by the Dauphin
County Court (his afternoon when At
torney Harry Saussaman. counsel for
the remonstrants, declared that he did
not intend to push the objections
against these hostelrics.
Remonstrance Letters Useless
Letters protesting against these sa
loons had been written to President
Judge Kunkel by Mrs. M. E. Mcll
henny, Mechanlcsburg, a visitor at
Shell's Tavern, and her objection was
based on the ground that her brother,
Thomas Llngle, got blxed up In a bar
room brawl one time In the Shell's
Tavern and struck someone with a
chair. Llngle was convicted and fined.
The sister declared both places ob
jectionable, as she blamed her broth
er's trouble on the liquor he had re
ceived at these hostelrles.
Mrs. Mollhenny, however, em
phatically declined to come into court,
and as the letters of remonstrance
were not supported by evidence, the
court declared that the objections fell.
Mrs. Mollhenny is 65 years old.
