DAYTON CYCLE COMPANY, ssa-s 912 N. 3rd Street WEDNESDAY EVENING, PENN AND TIGERS BATTLE TONIGHT Princeton Looks Strong For Crucial Championship Test; Jones Out of Line-up Sfcial to TtUcraf-h Philadelphia, March 29. The Uni versity of Pennsylvania basketball team will meet Princeton to-night on the floor of Weightmann Hall in the play-off game for the Intercollegiate championship. For the past two weeks the teams have been pracUcing dili gently for this game. The Red and Blue five will enter the contest with a line-up somewhat changed since the season came to a close. Jones, who played at guard with Captain Kddie McNichol, was taken ill with malarial fever the early part of last week and will be out of the game. He entered the practice on Monday night, substituting for Con nolly. Lew Martin, who played right forward during the entire season and was the running mate of ••Bill" Wil liamson, has been moved to guard ia place of Jones. Williamson will be at forward with Connolly. Art Jefford will be at center and McNichol and Martin at guards. Williamson at Guard The Princeton five, l'rom all reports, are in tip-top shape and primed for the fray. The feeling, not alone at Princeton, but among the Red and Blue students, is that the Princeton quintet should win the contest if it displays anyway near the form shown in the game against Penn in Tiger town. The Tigers are slightly better as a scoring machine than Penn and are equally good on defense. The style of attack of each team is entirely different. Princeton uses the cut-in style, playing for a man to get loose for the basket. Penn plays a quick passing game and advances the ball up the floor in a bunch, with the guard breaking for the basket. The line-up and records follow: PENN G. Fd. Fl. Pts.

The break is in what is technically known as the os magnum, a wrist bone. The os mag num is split raggedly, the fracture coming from the impact of Willard's huge knuckles against the sharp elbow of Frank Moran in the second or third round of the contest in New York Saturday night. A radiograph taken by Dr. .T. H. Carpenter under the direction of Dr. C. W. K: Briggs shows the fracture plainly. This is the statement made by Dr. Carpenter: "I find from the N-ray taken of Jess Willard's right hand that he has a fracture of the os magnum in that hand." The photograph was taken without removing the bandages from the in jured hand, which was terribly swollen and sore. Willard laughed when told of the injury. "Well. I've got it off my mind, at least," he said, "and now I can go ahead and gel it fixed up." The cham pion was told bv the physicians present that it would be much better for him to put the injured member into some sore of a cast at once and keep it there quietly for at least two weeks. MARRIED MEN ORGANIZE The Married Men's baseball club of Wiliiamstown have organized for the season, and will arrange a schedule. A good attraction and return game can be secured by writing to Robert Ramsey, manager. Wiliiamstown. Pa. The record last season was 33 won three tie, and 11 lost. LEO HOUCK, MIDDLEWEIGHT HARD OPPONENT IN JACK RECK, MARINE STAR ' * mg% i- WW -K Local boxing enthusiasts are manifesting unusual interest into-night's match between Leo Houck, of Lancaster, and Jack Reck, known to the righting world as the champion of the Marine Corps. Houck has met the best middleweight men in the ring, and has been punched hard but has never been knocked out. He is a clever man with the gloves and keeps in training all the time. Reck is no slouch and there is every indication that to-nigiit's battle will be exciting. The management of the Keystone Sporting Club promises an extra ordinary bill with Jules Ritchey, of Lancaster, and Terry Howell, of Camden, in the semiwindup. The preliminary list include a bunch of fast boys. The first bout goes on at 8.30 o'clock. OYSTER CASES BROUGHT BY STATE Dairy and Food Men Get Busy to Stamp Out Practice of "Fattening" Bivalves Forty.-nine prosecutions in five counties of the State marks the be ginning of a State-wide crusade against watered oysters by the Department of Agriculture. The prosecutions ordered by the Dairy and Food division are as follows: Allegheny county, 28 cases; Washington, 7; Blair. 6; Bea ver, 6, and Lawrence, 3. Several of the cases have already been settled by the payment of a fine of S6O and costs, while hearings are pending in other cases for this week. Some time ago the Dairy and Food division gave notice that the fraud practiced in the sale of oysters that were bloated by the floating process must be stopped and the investigations and prosecutions followed. The agents have ben active in various sec ' tions of the State and other prosecu tions are expected to follow. The United States authorities have also taken a hand in the effort to stop the sale of bloated oysters. More attention is being paid to the sale of bleached flour containing nit rous acid or nitrites and a rigid cru sade is being carried on throughout the State. The agents have been noti fied »o inspect all flour mills in search of bleaching machinery and to exam ine shipped flour that has been bleach ed. The bleaching in most processes produces nitrous acid or nitrites and is strictly prohibited by the Act of May 13, 1909. Honor Students at the Academy Are Announced Headmaster A. E.
