Thomas, the star forward on the
Central high team is not only the
high point scorer on the local team,
but he leads the scholastic league. In
the number of points scored by indi
viduals. He has an average of 20
points per game for the season, and is
a wonderful foul shooter.
This boy is a player who never loses
his head in a gam*, and who is al
ways on hand whenever a man Is
needed. He shoots the ball strlght
and clean, and has no trouble locat
ing the basket.
He Is also a great help to Wallower,
the other forward on Central's team,
in being on hand with an assist.
Thomas Is a junior at Central and
this is the first year he has taken
part in any. of the sports at Central.
He will be a valuable man for the
team representing Central next year.

WELLYS*?&GORNER
Tennis is receiving a big boost at!
Central high this year and indications :
point to an interesting season. Not
only will there be spirited class con
tests but the Central teams will meet
other school teams. There is a nice
bank account to the credit of the
athletic association and every effort
is being made to secure suitable
grourtds for courts.
Harripburg is to have organized
baseball. While it may not be up to
the class desired, with George Cock
ill In charge local supporters may ex
pect something interesting in the na
tional sport. The plans are not. yet
complete. There will be a meeting in
Philadelphia next week at which time
a permanent organization will be ef
fected. Outside of the Pennsylvania
State League game there will be the
Pennsylvania railroad series between
Motive Power department teams.
If the Pennsylvania State League
is made a certainty, and it looks very
much as if the necessary towns have
been lined up, the Lawson project
will receive a hard jolt. The new
league will not start until May and
there will be plenty time to line up
teams and get grounds in shape.
J. F. Brenneman of Lancaster has

Fighters' Time Grows Short;
Big Fellow in Fine Form
By Associated Press
New York, March 17. —With only
eight days more in which to get
ready for their bout on March 25,
Willard and Moran believe that they
will be in almost perfect condition for
the contest. Willard has increased
his pace in boxing in a marked de
gree during the past week. In fact
he did more real boxing yesterday
than on any two of the previous days
and it is his intention to keep going
a bit faster and take on an additional
round each day up to the middle of
the coming week. He planned a
longor road jog this morning and says
he will surely get below 250 pounds
before he enters the. ring.
Moran, who has trained zealously,
is carefully watched by his trainer,
Lewis, and his attendants so that he
may not overdo the work either on
the road or ill the "gym."
Mater, Saturday, March 25, one of tlie
[greatest live-bird shoots will take
place in Harrisburg. A local team to
be picked from this trio, Fred Dinger,
G. Wellington Hepler and John G.
Martin, will shoot against "Izzy"
i Hoffman and E. L. Melrath. Each
shooter will post SSO, and it will be a
1 50-bird shoot.
Rudolph L. Marshal, one of the star
basketball players in the Eastern
League, who played on the Trenton
team has announced his retirement.
1 "Bunty" as he is known has been 16
years in the game, playing amateur,
scholastic and professional basketball.
IHe has shown profficiency in other
i sports but in the cage game his work
! was prominent. He will devote his
> time to business affairs.
Announcement was made yesterday
1 at Technical high school that the first
i call for candidates for the tennis teams
would be made within two weeks, fol
lowing the close of the basketball
i season. Polleck and Frasch, last sea
' son's star runners-up in the city
! championship tournament, will be
; stars again this season as they are in
' the Junior class.
i The death of Paul Hunt Grisseil at
Philadelphia yesterday ends a career
of another noted ring factor. He was
i widely known as the trainer for Bob
Fitzslmmons when the latter defeated
I James J. Corbett. He was 55 years
, of age, and last summer won a niara
' thon race at Peublo, Colo.

GOVERNOR GETS
SCRANTON BOOST
Lackawanna County Men Stand
Up and Cheer Him at the
Irish Banquet
Hundreds of prominent Irish-Amer
icans of Lackawanna county welcomed
Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh at the
annual St. Patrick's day dinner of the
local Irish-American Society at Scran
ton last night and he was given an
ovation when he spoke.
Introduced by Attorney Charles P.
O'Malley, Governor Brumbaugh de
livered an interesting address on "Our
Commonwealth." Ho explained laws
of the State and the manner in which
the people are obeying them. Other
speakers at the dinner included Jus
tice J. M. Wall, of the New Jersey
Supreme Court; the Rev. James M.
Burke, of St. Peter's Cathedral; At
torney James J. Powell and Postmas
ter John J. Durkin.
Governor Brumbaugh arrived at
Seranton in the afternoon and was
given a reception at the Hotel Casey.
Later he was taken to Dunmoro,
where a half-holiday was declared
in his honor. The State Executive was
given a rousing welcome by the thou
sands of school children of the bor
ough and he spoke to them on the
"Value of Education." Before leaving
the city Governor Brumbaugh held a
conference with Colonel Watres and
several local Republican leaders.
At Dunmore the Governor dwelt
upon the value of education and gave
emphatic testimony to the great serv
ice the school code is rendering to
Pennsylvania. He pointed out that
back of the army and navy and back
of our industrial preparedness is the
great final lino of national defense, the
school, and urged that it be made the
means of training all our people, not
only for citizenship, but for. efficiency.
The bulwark of national defense is a
trained and efficient citizenry. In a
democracy it is impossible to realize
the lofty aims of our national purpose
if we are not an enlightened and
skillful people. These qualities, to
gether with good will, dependableness
and humility, make a people respected
and feared —able to maintain them
selves at all times and capable of com
manding the attention of all nations.
"It is not the size of our country,"
said he, "nor llie numbers undiu its
flag, but the tine spiritual quality of I
our people that is the best guaranty of
peace and the securest means of male- j
ing perpetual the finest things in our
national life. Those that come hero
from abroad—welcomed by us and
given here home and haven—must, to
be real citizens, master the language of
the republic and I hus fit themselves
to participate in Ihe lofty duties of
citizens. We must not sell our citizen
ship at any price and the man who is
