CENTRAL HAS EXCELLENT RECORD-THOMAS STARS--WILLARD STILL CHAMPION
WILLARD WINNER
IN HARD BATTLE
yas Best of Moran After Third
Round; Big Pay For
Both Fighters
Special to the Telegraph
New York, March 27. Jess Wil
lard won from Frank Moran Saturday
night in a fierce ten-round battle.
Champion Willard was Riven the de
cision on points, but those who wit
nessed the battle, while giving Moran
credit for pluck, and ability to stand
punishment, admit that Willard was
the real fighter.
The fight went 10 rounds and for
Feven rounds Willard fought with a
broken knuckle on his right hand,
using his left jabs. It was the general
belief that he could have put Moran
out had he so minded. Moran had
t he best of the battle in the first three
rounds.
slorn 11 After Knockout
Jloran made a plucky effort to win
by a knockout and made rally after;
rally to accomplish that result. Many
of his right-hand swings were either
short or were blocked by Willard or
landed across the champion's neck or
top of his head. There were a num
ber which landed flush on Willard's
jaw, but the latter simply smiled. The
blows, which were apparently shot
with full force, did not seem to fcaze
the champion.
Willard used his left effectively all
through the bout. At the end of the
contest Tom Jones announced that
Willard had broken his right hand in
the third round, which was offered as
an excuse for the champion not end
ing the contest by a knockout.
For his service Jess Willard re
ceived the cosey sum of $52,600. For
the bout itself he was paid $47,500,
and for his motion picture rights he
secured $5,100.
How many of us realize that this
sum represents what the average
American citizen gets for twenty
years of endeavor?, The average
annual Income of male bread
winners in this country is approxi
mately $2,600.
It Is estimated that Willard will j
make in the neighborhood of $350,-
f'OO in 1916. It would take the av
erage worker 135 years to accumu
late a like amount. Moran's share
was equal to $791.66 per minute, or a
total of $23,749.50.
Hassett Girls Win Again;

Winning from the Indiana Normal!
School Girls Saturday night, score 21
to 1, gives the Hassett girls a strong
<'lalm on the Slate championship title

The Indiana girls were outclassed.!
notwithstanding they played under
their own rules.
The Indiana quintet claimed the
championship of Western Pennsyl
vania. Hassett girls started the

There were times when the local five
<lost opportunity to run up a large
score because of the rules. Miss
Burns, Miss Sweeney and Miss Devine
were local stars. Miss Bott scored the
only point for the visitors.

Fred Goodhart Comes Back With Aid of His Violin
THE MUSICIAN: R , BASEBALL STAR
| Carlisle, Fa., March 28.—Attributing his "comeback" to playing a vio
lin, Fred Goodhart of the Dickinson College basoball nine is for the first
time since the summer of 1910, In good physical shape. Goodhart until
1910 had been making a record for himself as a baseball pitcher when his
right arm developed a lameness which massaging and the usual remedies
could not bring him back. He decided to quit baseball and in 1913 enter
ed Dickinson College.
In the Spring of 1915 Goodhart was only able to twirl one game, that
against Bucknell which he won. His arm was so lame nfter this con
test that he dropped from the squad. During the past winter Goodhart
In his spare time has been playing a violin with a local orchestra which re
quired much practising, and he fully believes that in the extended arm mo
tion required in playing this musical instrument lies the secret for his re
covery.

Battleship Fund Grows by

DELPHINE DIENER
Of Wormleysburg, one of the youngest
contributors to the Battleship Fund.
Since the wave of popular approval
of the idea promulgated by a Brook
lyn schoolgirl for raising funds to
build an American dreadnaught first
flooded the offices of the New York!
Tribune over six weeks ago with ;
dimes and other coins, well over ten i
thousand dollars has been raised j
through the efforts of public-spirited!
newspapers all over the country that
have followed the Tribune's lead and
co-operated with the movement.
In Harrisburg the fund compares
favorably with much larger cities.
The two hundred dollar mark has
been passed and the amounts that are !
•daily flowing in will bring the total |
up to S3OO in short order, if the aver- j
age continues. I,ike a forest fire the i
sentiment is spreading and catching'
in many other cities, until it begins to
look as though Marjorie Sterrett's idea
will really bear fruit.

INTERSCHOLASTIC SEASON ENDS
WITH THIS WEEK'S SCHEDULE
Central and Reading Tie Up F or Lead; Thomas Is Big Star of
Season; Tech Tailenders i
With the final game to be played I
this week in the Central-Penn basket- i
ball league. Central High School will
end the season in first place, while
Coach McConnell's Tech High five will
occupy lust position. Tech plays at.
Steelton next Friday night, but no
matter what the outcome, the teams
will finish with Central and Reading
tied for first place.
The Tech quintet has been a de
cided disappointment. After getting
away to a flying start, winning seven
out of its first ten contests, tho Maroon
struck a losing streak February when
the team played at Beading. From
then until last Friday night. March 25,
when the team swamped Sunbury,
Captain Harris' squad dropped eleven
straight. ,
Saturday night the team played at
Lancaster and held the Red Roses to
two field goals, but lost out, 21 to 19.
Seventeen of Lancaster's points were
tallied from the 30-odd fouls called on
the local team. Tech scored five field
i goals and nine fouls.
Thomas Big Star
"Bob" Thomas, a junior at Central
and star forward for the Ave, pulled
down individual honors in the league.
Here are some his stunts: High scorer
in field goals; high scorer in foul
goals; high total scorer; leading ath
lete in average points per game; high
scorer in field goals in any one game
(tied with Killinger, 11 each).
Thomas has participated in all of
the twelve league games and has
amassed 262 points from 48 field goals
and 166 fouls. This gives him an
average of nearly 22 points for each
game.
Captain Rote shares honors with his
teammate in leading the scoring among
the defensive players. In nine games
Rote netted the ball 27 times. This
player, the best in the league, missed
the two Lebanon games and the first
contest at Reading.
The Central team has made the re
markable record of scoring 481 points,
an average of over 40 per game, dur
ing the season, and easily leads the

MXETY PER CENT. OF AMERICAN
ROYS GO INTO BUSINESS
"Wo are a business race, we Amer
icans," says a writer in the April Wo
man's Home Companion, "nine-tenths
of our boys are destined for business;
and the other tenth, who enter pro
fessions, need a knowledge of how
business is transacted even more. Par
ents who covet a clean-cut, successful
business career for their boy can do
him a tremendous service by laying
the foundations of that career while
they have him still in their own hands.
,It was Cardinal Newman who said:
'Give me a child until he is seven
years old. and I care not who has him
afterward.' And psychologists are
proving to us more conclusively every
day that the years we ortce considered
wasted, from an educational view
point, are the years in which most of
our habits, including business habits,
have their root."

ten straight and the three other shoot
ers fell down on one bird each.
There was no doubt as to Melrath
being the best, shooter on Saturday. |
He killed 53 birds without a miss, j

scores and held up his end. This was

The promoters of the Pennsylvania
League will meet at the Bellevue-
Stratford hotel, Philadelphia, Thurs
day. This city will have three repre
sentatives. It must be a show down
in black and white at this meeting. As
yet no manager has signed a contract
but Abraham Rosenbluth and Leo

of the million-dollar syndicate, claim
they need the assurance of grounds
in one more town to complete their
plans. Sor.ie are of the opinion that
it will be a case of either A 1 Lawson
or Pennsylvania selling out. Two
leagues are impossible.
The first game between Central

is expected to win because it will be on
the home floor the game will be play
ed. Central is picked to win the name

there would be a battle royal about

championship. Central will be accom

large crowd of rooters. It may be a
j victory for the local quintet.
Harrisburg fight fans will get en

night. Leo Hpuck always makes
good, no matter what the odds may
be against him. In Jack Reck he has
a hard man, but Houck has recently
been showing classy form and his
