CENTRAL EASY WINNER OVER TECH—ROTE IS GIVEN WATCH BY HIS FRIENDS
LEBANON VALLEY
STARTS BASEBALL
Squad Works Hard at Ann
villc; Prospects Good For
Fast Nine
Sfecial to the Telegrafli
AnnviUe, Pa., March 18.—The first
outdoor practice of the season was
given the Lebanon Valley baseball
squad of thirty-five candidates yester
day afternoon on the college campus.
As the team opens the schedule with
the Merccrsburg Academy nine on the
first of April, Coach Guyer Is anxious
to get his men into condition for the
opening fray.
The prospects for a fast nine is par
ticularly bright this year. Three men
were lost to the team by graduation
last Spring but the freshmen class have
fifteen llKeiy looking candidates to
help build a strong combination. The
battery condidates will cause the
coach some difficulty in choosing the
best men.
Eive Pitchers Work
Five mound workers wish positions
and seven backstop candidates are
hoping for berths. The pitching staff
will be built around Harold White,
well-known local hurler. "Red" At
ticks and McNelly, varsity catchers
from last year will no doubt again
play their former position, alternat
ing in the field and behind the bat.
Newlyn, a former Villanova star back
stop player and a catcher with the
Hershey team last summer, will also
attempt to land this position. Ross
Swartz, captain of the 1915 football
eleven, will cover first base with
Masehen at short, Keating at second,
and Captain Ziegler at third base. Al
though these men will hold these posi
tions during the first few line-ups.
Guyer has announced that the best
man will get the job.

This Is Moran's Birthday;
Follows Daily Training
By Associated Press
New York, March 18. —Frank Mo
ran. who is to meet the world's chafn
plon heavyweight In a ten-round bout
here one week from to-night, is 29
years old to-day. He received many
congratulatory birthday messages ex
pressing wishes for his success. Moran
took matters easy yesterday, but was
early on the road this morning for his
regular run of over four miles.
He will box five or six rounds this
afternoon In addition to his usual
gymnasium work, but wishes to take
on a few pounds in weight before the
day of the contest. To-day he weighed
202 pounds.
Willard after confining himself to
light exercise and six rounds of boxing
yesterday was out this morning for a
run of three miles. He is in splendid
condition and confident that Moran
will not cause him much trouble. This
afternoon Jess will take on three of
his sparring partners.
ELLIOTT-FISHER MACHINES
TAKE I*I.ACE OK SOLDIERS
Hundreds of machines manufactured
by the Ellott-Flsher Typewriter Com
pany are being widely used throughout
the war zones of France, while many
more are being used in the war offices
of England. When thousands of men
flocked to the colors it was necessary
to employ some kind of a suitable ma
chine to replace the work of human
hands. And the Elliott-Fisher machines
seem to be filling the great bill.
REGULATE AUTOS
BEFORE SCHOOLS
Directors Appoint Dr. C. E. L.
Keene to Place Problem
Before Council
City Council will be asked by the
School Board to establish "safety first"
zones in front of the various schools
by regulating the speed of automobiles
for the protection of the youngsters
passing to and from the buildings.
The importance of safeguarding the
small school toiKs was uroached by
Dr. C. IS. L. Keene and in adopting his
suggestion to provide the "satety"
zones the board appointed Dr. Keene
as a committee of one to put tho mat
ter formally up to Council.
The board, with the Rev. Dr. Wil
liam N. Yates alone dissenting, agreed
to permit the grand opera company
which is due to appear here next week
to sing before the students of the two
high schools, in objecting to the es
tablishment of this precedent Dr.
Yates said his action was not based
on any antipathy to grand opera, as
he considered it immensely beneficial,
but because he doubted the wisdom of (
inaugurating such a movement,
'l'o Interpret Textbook Clause
At the suggestion of the Rev. Dr.
Yates, the board also decided to ask
the solicitor for a legal interpretation
of the section of the resolution adopted
two years ago relative to the purchase
of school books. The section provides
that old books are to be used unless
new ones are adopted, and Dr. Yates
asked whether this means that all the,
old textbooks must be retained for a
live-year period or whether they can
be dispensed with after a few years.
The educational committee of the
Civic Club asked the board to continue
the open air school for tubercular
children at the Susquehanna building
during the coming warm months and
the request was agreed to. The neces
sary grading, planting, etc., will be
done through tho co-operation of the
city departments of streets and public
improvements and parks.
Settle First Injury Claim
The first claim for injuries to an
employe which has been submitted to
the board was satisfactorily adjusted
yesterday when the building commit
tee's recommendation that Frank F.
Hetrick's agreement to accept $20.52
was accepted. Hetrick struck his hand
with a hammer with working at the
open air school building in the lower
end of the city.
These other building committee rec
ommendations were approved:
Awarding contract for weather strip
ping the W. S. Steele building to the
Harrisburg Building Specially Com
pany at its bid of $598; awarding con
tract for 100-foot radiator in Lincoln
building to I. R. Lyme at his bid of
sos. Eight Sire extinguishers were or
dered purchased from Harry M. Reily
at a cost of $7.50 apiece. They will
be used in the Shinimell building and
the continuation school. A new chair
for the dental clinic will be ordered.
Enola High School Wins
Debate at New Cumberland
New Cumberland. Pa.. March 18.—
Last evening the Church of God was
well filled with an appreciative audi
ence to hear the debate between the
Enola and New Cumberland high
schools. The church was decorated j
with the national colors and seated on
the platform was the Enola high
school orchestra, which rendered ex
cellent music. The girls' glee club of
the New Cumberland high school, un
der the direction of Miss Mary Btu
torff, sang a number of selections.
Professor J. K. Green presided. The
debate was on the subject "Resolved,
That military training should be com
pulsory in the public schools." The
affirmative side was discussed by Wen
dell Houck and Dorothy Lenliart, of
the New Cumberland high school, and
the negative by Her Fisher and George
Mlnnick, of Enola high school. The
fudges were H. M. Bretz, of Harris
burg; the Rev. E. D. Weigle, of Camp
Hill, and Professor M. O. Billow, of
Harrisburg. who decided unanimously
I in favor of the negative.

CENTRAL WINS IN
GAME WITH TECH
Harry Rote Given Gold Watch
by Admirers; Contest
One-Sided
Central High tossers gave further
evidence last night that they are in the
interscholastic race until the finish.
They, gained another leg on the lead
by taking a game from Tech quintet,
score 46 to 29. During the game Harry
Rote, the local basketball ptar, was pre
sented with a gold watch.
The gift came from local friends and
admirers, and Albert G. Murray made
the presentation speech. It was a big
surprise to Rote, who returned his
thanks and expressed his regret thut
he would be unable to help in bringing
school and local honors next season.
Following the presentation the big
crowd cheered the young athlete.
The game was all Central. The same
trouble that has been experienced In pre
vious games figured in Tech's defeat
last night, the switching of players.
There was a woeful lack of team work
at times. Thomas and Rote excelled
for Central, and Harris, Killinger and
Polleck were Tech stars. Between the
halves the Central Reserves defeated
the Tech second team, score 35 to 21.
The work of the Central boys was a big
feature.
SPLENDID ADVANCE OF KOREA
The general progress of Korea, un
der Japanese administration, is win
ning high praise from the mission
aries of all Christian bodies. The Rev.
Dr. G. M. Rowland, speaking of the
work of the Federal Council of Korea
recently said:
"Five years ago, I was met at the '
railway station of Seoul by a chair, i
and carried by coolies to my hotel. On I
my recent visit to the Korean capital j
an up-to-date automobile hurried me j
to my lodgings. Railways, high- i
ways, schools, forestry, agriculture,
improvements of all kinds are seen
on every hand. An exhibition in 1
Seoul not long ago celebrated the
beneficence of Japanese rule. The i
city is rapidly assuming a modern an- j
noyance. Most Koreans opposed to ;
annexation now concede thut their I
people are better off than ever be
fore. The utmost religious freedom !
exists: the laws of Japan In that re- I
speet have been extended over Korea. '
Missions, Protestant and Catholic, |
are encouraged and protected. The
only restriction is that' the Bible shall j
not be taught in the private schools, j
An adjoining building may be so i
used."
ANTIQUITY OP THE JAPANESE
SACRED TREASURES
While the earliest historical writ
ings of Japan prove that authentic
history of the country does not go
back farther than the fifth century,
the semireligious, semimilitary relics
known as the Sacred Treasures, which
had so important a place in the recent
Coronation ceremonies, furnish un
doubted proof of the great antiquity
of thi present dynasty. These Treas
ures consist of a mirror, a sword and
a jewel. Tradition asserts that they
were gifts of the Sun Goddess to
Ninigi-no-Mlkoto when ho departed
from Godland to reign over Japan.
These gifts are Inseparable from the
indigenous religion of the Japanese,
and have formed the most solemn
possessions of the Shinto cult. They
may be likened to the sacred Ark of
the Jews. Their antiquity is unques
tionable and reverence for them is
well deserved.
forgings alone—costly to make as they are—meet Indian ideals
U of strength and stamina where durability and strength are most needed.
They are used because they are tougher than castings and more dependable
than stampings.
Indian is called the all-drop-forge machine because it has more drop
forgings than any other motorcycle made.
81 of these Samson pieces in the Indian make a machine which withstands,
with smallest wear and operating cost, the hardest tests to which a motor
cycle can be subjected.
Automobile engineers, who have studied the Indian and Indian manufac
turing methods, marvel at the expensiveness and fineness of Indian
construction, for it is built like a high grade motor car.

The death of Andy Crowley, a
Philadelphia boxer last night tends to
strengthen the arguments in favor of
a State boxing commission, according
to the general belief of fight fans.
Those who enjoy this sport In a clean
cut style, long ago favored the ap
pointment of one or moro men in
authority to determine who should
fight. Crowley was boxing with Mike
Maione and was felled with a blow on
the back of the neck. It was said
that Crowley was outclassed. Arrests
followed the death.
