State League Promotors Hand Out More Publicity Heading, Pa.. March 20.—The pro- j moters and managers of the new Penn sylvania State league will hold a meet ing at the Bellevue-Stratford, Philadel- j pliia, on March 28 to effect a perrna- i nent organization and arrange other ' details for the coming season. The season is scheduled to open on May 10 »nd continue to Labor Day, whether the league pays or not. Abraham Rosenhluth, a New York I lawyer, said to represent protected j baseball interests opposed to Al. Law son's new Atlantic League, and I-eo Groom, local manager of t he United ; States League team here some yeaj-s ago. say that they have leases on three parks—lsland Park, at Harrlsburg: the Lebanon Fair grounds, and the <~"ircus Maximum here—and that ne gotiations for grounds in Lancaster and Jersey City will soon be closed. I other towns being considered are! Trenton, on account of Sunday base- 1 ball: Hazleton, Chester, Pottsville and, possibly Williamsport. Managers in prospect are George j Croekill.

Thursday Night 7.30 to 9.30 at Kaufman's Underselling Store Fine Music and Living Model Fashion Display Come, You'll Enjoy It To-morrow's Papers Will Give You More Details , A Coal Strike Or a Suspension is feared by people well informed concerning coal min ing conditions. The contract made in 1912 between the operators and the miners will expire on March 31, 1916. The miners have made a number of new demands as a condition for their resuming work after April 1, 1916. These demands are considered exorbitant by the mine owners. The result will be a strike or a suspen sion until a compromise is reached. Notwithstanding the miners have agreed to work pending a settlement history shows that such a deter mination has never been carried out. In other years the men made the same decision, but the records show that no coal was mined.

CENTRAL NEEDS NEXT GAME; VICTORY WILL TIE UP RACE > Play Steelton Friday Night on Local Floor; Tech Tossers May Land in Cellar Defeating Tech Friday night by a score of 46 to 2D, Central not only won the city basketball champion ship. but came within an ace of tying . i up the Central-Penn League series. The Steelton team is the only obstacle in Central's way. •| Another Important feature of the ; week's work was Thomas' undisputed | occupancy of first place as the league's I high scorer. This star, who is a Junior at Central, has scored 226 points in 11 contests for an average ] lof 20.55 joints per game. This dis j places Greenawalt, the former York j pivot man, who has averaged 20.50 i | points for eight games. With another contest yet to be : played Central has outstripped all its, j competitors in both field goal and foul goal scoring. Coach McCord's ma chine has amassed 127 field goals and 1 157 fouls, which is a better record j than any other team has made in the league. The Blue and Gray lads in I the Central Penn contests have scored a total of 411 points, while their op i ponents have made but 330. In de- 1 tensive work Reading will likely re tain its lead as the best in the league. Better Chance For Thomas Thomas, of Central, has a chance . I to add to his laurels, in the game with Steelton. If he tallies three field goals > i he will tie Wendler. of Reading, with 1 |4O each in 12 games. Over three goals will give him a lead in both field and foul goals, as well as high j CEREAL CROP IS HELD BY WEATHER Conditions Not as Good as 1 Formerly According to the Stale Statisticians j Pennsylvania's wheat and rye show indications of beins only about nlnety ■ Tour per cent of the average condition at this time of the year according to ! reports made to the statistical bureau of the State Department of Agrieul-; ! ture. The acreage devoted to wheat is about one per cent, greater than last year and rye is about the same, j ! Weather is blamed for the backward 'condition. Seldom in the last decade has the wheat crop been less advanced j than at present. Estimates made to the department | are that twenty-five per cent, of the | wheat crop of 1913 or 6,232,000 1 bushels, remains in the hands of the j ! farmers. Reports show an increase In pure bred livestock in the State. There are about 1,500 stallions, the same as last year: 8.890 bulls, an Increase of' ti4o; boars 7,400, increase of 900 and I rams 3,490, an increase of 290. The number of steers being fattened on I farms for market at this season shows a decline as compared with last year, j | More lime is being used on fields j i in this State now than for years, this 1 fact being due to the lack of the foreign potash supply. Seventy-eight ' per cent, of the farmers are using : commercial fertilizer, a decline of ten per cent., the use last year being 235 , pounds per acreage. The total ferti-j lizer used was 338.520 worth $7,318,-1 800 against 381.920 tons worth $7,- 943.900, in the previous year. BETHLEHEM STEEL TO LET U. S.

Captain Rote, of Central, is lead ing field goal scorer among the guards. In eight games he has netted ■the ball 22 times from the field. | While Central is fighting Friday J night for the lead. Tech will line up : on the same night against Lancaster, and a defeat will place the loser in the cellar position. Tech won from the Roses in this city January 7, by a 51 to 21 score. Prior to this time Tech lost at York I December 10 and won from Lebanon 'at Tech December 17. Following the Lebanon and Lancaster victories Tech j tcok second position with two victories and one defeat. Since then not one league game has been won, and Tech , has gone down until it can drop no farther. A victory for the Maroon at Lancaster Friday night will assure the local team of sixth place. How Teams Stand From a poor last Steelton has climbed consistently, and by winning five straight games is now tied for i fourth position.

This con dition was rapidly changed, however.■ by the very large orders for steel pro- I ducts placed in this country by the various European governments and by an incerased demand for domestic I I consumption. This combined foreign and domestic demand has created an unusual condition in the steel indus try, and to-day there exists an actual shortage of steel-making capacity in; it his country. These conditions, eou- I pled with the difficulty of obtaining l certain ray materials and an increase! in the price of labor, have resulted in' a rapid increase in the price of steel products. All Departments Busy "With the recent extraordinary I market for all classes of steel products j and for ships the various piants of your corporation enter the year 191' ii | with all departments, with one exeep- ! tlon, running at full capacity. "That exception is the armor-plate j department. Bethlehem Steel Com ; pany has practically completed deliv eries to the Government on all pend ing armor contracts. Contracts l'or the current year have not been awarded. "Your attention is called to the fact 5 that a bill is pending in Congress and : has, with the support of the See-j retary of the Navy, been recommend- i cd for passage by the Senate commit-) tee on naval affairs, providing tor the building by the government at an ex pense of $11,000,000 of an armor plant] i with a capacity of 20,000 tons a year, j j "This capacity provides for more i than double what have been the aver age actual requirements of the United I States for armor over the past twenty j j years, and if such a bill is passed vne lvalue of existing armor plants in fliis country will be virtually destroyed, j . Bethlehem Steel Company has more i •than $7,000,000 now invested In its! plants, devoted to this use—and use i less for any other purpose. Willing to Meet Government j "Recognizing that though the in terests of your property should be j carefully conserved by your officers, on a matter of this kind, your corpor ation also has an important obligation to the nation of which it is a citizen. ! ■your officers have appeared before the I i Senate committee on naval affairs and ; urged the defeat of the pending meas ure. As it is frankly declared that the j j sole purpose of the proposed enter- ! prise is that the government may se i cure its armor at a lower price, your. officers have submitted the following propostion to the federal government: "We will agree to permit any weii- j known firm of chartered public ac countants to inventory our plant and , make careful estimates of the cost of ! manufacture; with that data in hand 1 we will meet with the Secretary of the Navy and agree to manufacture ar- i i nior at a price which will be entirely I satisfactory to the Secretary of the! 1 Navy as being quite as low as the price ! jat which the government could possi-i j bly manufacture armor on its own ac-1 i count, after taking into account all I proper charges. As a concrete work ing basis for such negotiations, Beth-i lehem Steel Company has offered to j manufacture one-third of the armor j ; plate required for the contemplated five-year naval program (estimated at approxii ately 120,000 tons), for a i price of $395 per ton for side armor, las compared with the price of $425 i ' per ton now obtaining. Cheaper Than in Kuro|>o "It may be added that while all , other steel prices have greatly in- j creased, the foregoing figure at which we now offer to make armor for the United States is not only a lower price than has been paid by the government I for more than ten years, but it is> also a substantially lower price than: is paid for armor by Japan, Austria, ; Germany, France or England. "Bethlehem Steel Company entered ! jupon the manufacture of armor plate at the request of the United States i government. It has during all these' years co-operated with the govern-! | ment to the end that the United States should have the benefit of the highest development of the art. "Although aside from the financial interests of your corporation, we, as 1 citizens, and in the light of our ex- j perience, should regard it as extremely unfortunate if the United States j should enter upon a policy which should prevent their being placed con- | tinuously at its disposal in this im-1 portant detail of national defense, the j experience, the enterprise and the ini- j tiatlve of the steel manufacturing in- > J dustry of the country. "Assuming that manufacturers are : i willing to accept as low a price as the i : government may properly exact, we earnestly hope that Congress will not feel it necessary to embark upon the I proposed policy. Buys Pennsylvania Steel "Since the close of the fiscal year covered by this report, but prior to (this writing, agreements have been executed under which it is proposed that Bethlehem Steel Company, or a I subsidiary company shall acquire all the assets of the Pennslyvanla Steel Company (of Pennsylvania) and Maryland Steel Company and all the , other assets of Pennsylvania Steel 'Company (of New Jersey) for s3l.- j 941,630. subject to existing liens ex- ; | oept the $8,500,000, face value, of: i bonds of Pennsylvania Steel Company 1 !

W. Lawson, promoter of the I Atlantic Yeague, says the Pennsylva j nla State League is a fake. While in I ! Reading he handed out the following: "I called up Leo Groom at Lancas i ter to-day and he assured me that | Lancaster intended remaining in the j ! 1 Atlantic League. He said I should not !, pay any attention to the Pennsylvania i League talk, as he was only doing it ! as an advertising stunt to get fans 'talking about the Atlantic League. I] told him that I didn't like his methods of getting advertising. I "There is no room for a Pennsyl vania League, as we have the best towns in this territory, and there is nothing left for the other fellows. They mention York, Williamsport, Jer | sey City and Trenton. I had the op- I portunity of getting these towns for our league, but they have no grounds, i They also mention Harrisburg. lam positive that Harrisburg would never 1 think of joining a league like the Pennsylvania circuit. Holds Kej at Reading | "As to Heading," continued Mr. Lawson, "we hold the key TO the sit i uation here. Our grounds are located lin the hear of the town. I've bud j a club in the northeastern section | and know that the only place for i ! a team to pay in Reading is at Lauer's. Baseball has never paid in the north ! end of the town because it too far out. The idea of putting a club here i to buck my Atlantic League team is ridiculous. When I came to Reading ! j several months ago I looked over the i situation very carefully and spoke to about .">OO fans on the ground question. They all agreed that Lauer's Park was j the place, and I made up my mind j that if I couldn't get this ground I j would Vass up Reading.

Few Unsold Tickets For Big Championship Battle Special to the Telegraph New York, March 20. lt is esti-j mated that some 15,000 persons will' pay between $125,000 and $175,000 to see Jess Willard, heavyweight boxing i champion of the world, step ten rounds (or less) with Frank Moran , at Madison Square Garden next Sat | urday night.

' SPRING WARNING FROM DR. DIXON Says That Fresh Air and Exer cise Are the Best Tonics For Everyone Now i Warning against too much atten , tion being paid to Spring tonics when the geese start to fly northward and the bulb plants begin to show above ground is sounded by Dr. Samuel G. : Dixon, State commissioner of health, in a week-end health talk issued to j day. The commissioner holds that 1 fresh air, exercise and attention to J diet are better Spring tonics than I those which come out of bottles. I The commissioner says that home j remedy manufacturers also get busy |in the Spring and that a wave of Spring tonic excitement gets started in the land. The commissioner says: j The tonic which the vast majority 1 of individuals need at this period of ! the year is fresh air, exercise and a ■ simpler diet. Owing to weather con ditions many of our activities are restricted in the winter time. There Jis also a tendency to eat excessively of meat and fatty foods. As a result ! when the Spring arrives with Its warm days many of us are like a fur nace that has been so choked with 1 fuel that it doesn't draw well. You cannot buy relief from these i conditions at a dollar a bottle. Medi cine will not make up for over eating and under exercise. The high death rate which almost invariably prevails at this season of the year from pneu , monia. tuberculosis and other respira ! Tory diseases is largely due to the re | duced physical resistance of lndivi , duals, which makes them particularly | sensitive when the sudden changes of i temperature ocur which are common at this time of the year. Old people are susceptible as they are hotted j more closely during the winter time i than young folks. I Let your Spring tonic prescription read something as follows: 1. Eat meat but once a day and i sparingly. 2. Those not under the doctor's J care should take a glass of water be ; fore retiring for the night and one | an hour before breakfast. I 3. Get all the fresh air possible. 4 Sleep with your windows open. 5. See that your clothing is heavy ; enough to protect you against sud den changes of weather. ! 6. Walk in the open air five or six miles a day. . j ESTATE BEQUEATHED TO XVUSE Special to the Telegraph Sunbury. Pa„ March 20.
