CENTRAL TOSSERS MEET READING TOMORROW NIGHT-BISONS HERE TO TRAIN!
. WAR AT READING
BOOSTS BASEBALL
Four Leagues Promise Lively
Sessions; Leo Groom Is
Active in Fight
Spteiai Me TthtrafU
Reading:, Pa., April 8. Baseball
fans are enLhuaiaatLo over the pros
pects of a baseball WOT In that city.
They predict a big season for the win
ner in the battle between the Pennsyl
vania Stat a 1 league and Al i-awson'?
Atlantic L.eague.
There has never been a baseball
season about to open when Reading
fans have faced a battery of so many
organized leagues as are lining up for
the 1916 campaign. It now seems
apparent that each organization is
acting in good faith and will be ready
to start the season around the first
week in May. The Pennsylvania State
nnd the Atlantic Leagues, two minor
organizations, are both going ahead
with their plans and in addition to
tlietie two the City League jumped
into the arena last week. Still there
is talk of an Industrial League
among some of the city's leading in
dustrial plants and a scholastic
league patterned after the Central
Pennsylvania High School League,
which is just closing a successful ball
season.
High School I/O ague
If the High School League is to be
a go, Harrisburg, Lancaster, Xorris
town, Pottßville, Pottstown, Lebanon
and other cities will join to make it
eight clubs.
The promoters of the Atlantic and
the Pennsylvania State leagues figure
that the more amateur leagues there
are In the city, the more interest will
be taken in baseball, and both Al W.
Lawson and Leo Groome, who are
looking after the minor league prelim
inaries here, are hopeful for a big sea
'son.
The pick of Reading's professional
and semi professional ball players are
in great demand with the leagues
which are heing formed, and while
some few have signed contracts to go
out of town the majority will accept
the contracts which are being tend
ered right at home.
Mack's Regulars Here;
Start Games at Charleston
Special to the Telegraph
Jacksonville. Fla., April 3. The
Regulars of the Athletics left Jack
sonville last night for Charleston, S.
C„ where a three-game series will be
played with the South Atlantic
League team of that city. Before
leaving Jacksonville Manager Mack
expressed himself as heing entirely
with the results obtained
✓ hero.
' All the players are in excellent
physical condition with the exception
of Wyckoff and Bressler, who will re
main here until the opening of the
season.
Wyckoff has a lame shoulder, while
Bressler has been troubled with a
muscle bruise on his forearm, which
has held him back in conditioning.
Manager Mack believes that both vet
erans need another week of warm
weather and decided not to risk the
chance of running into cold weather
on the barnstorming trip.

Marjorie Sterrett, John Philip Sousa and Albert A. A. Hopkins, the
first white child born at the Guantanamo naval statdtn, Cu". a under United
States rule, who presented her with 1,15fi dimes at the recent New York Hip
podrome benefit for the Battleship Fund.
BATTLESHIP FUND
PASSES $13,000
Over 100.000 Persons Have
Subscribed Amounts From
10 Cents to SSOO
From one dime to 130,000.
From one girl to, 100,000 of her
countrymen.
That, in brief, is the story of the
growth of an idea in the short space of
seven weeks.
Marjorie Sterrett, a 13-year-old]
Brooklyn schoolgirl, wrote a letter to j
The Tribune, inclosing a dime to help j
build a battleship for Uncle Sam. The I
Tribune printed the le.tter on Febru
ary 4. .Since, that time sixty |
papers between Boston and Sacra- j
mento told The Tribune by wire how
Marjorie's idea had aroused their read- !
ers to do something definite for the I
defense of the nation. More than
twenty-five others have given notice
that they intend to co-operate in this
patriotic cause.
Meantime, Congress has taken note
of a movement which was calling the
people's attention to the defenseless
condition of the country. Representa
tive William S. Bennett, of New York,
introduced a resolution into the House
on March !i Instructing the Secretary
of the Navy to accept the Marjorie
Sterrett fund and such accumulations
as might be added thereto, designed to
assist the government in safeguarding!
the national peace, as an inspiration to i
patriotism on the part of the youth of l
the country.
100,000 Persons a Power
"I believe," he said, "that any citi-j
zen who wishes to give money to the:
government, for a lawful purpose I
should be allowed to do so. There is j
something back of the dimes of these!
children that mere money cannot buy j
—sentiment, love of country—and that
is why I am with Marjorie's plan."
The vital fact is that most of the
100,000 are children, future citizens of
the country, on whose shoulders its de
fense will rest in coming years. A
child gave the call, and her school
mates from coast to coast have begun !
to respond. The response has really
only just begun.
Marjorie's Father Speaks
"Several motion picture concerns
have offered inducements to Marjorie
to take up a career with them, but the
little girl has flatly refused them. She
is more Interested in her school work
than acting in the movies, and 1 am
glad it is so. Neither Marjories mother
nor myself would consent to her ap
pearing In any sort of performance
stage or motion pictures—that was not
directly concerned with the Battleship
Fund and for its sole benefit.
We will gladly lend our little girl to
the rause of Americanism and patriot
ism. hut we will not consent to have
her patriotism commercialized. Neither
she nor we have received one cent
either directly or indirectly throush
the Rattleahjp Fund, and we do not
expect to receive any. Marjorie is now
Just an ordinary American schoolgirl
and we mean to keep her so."
(Signed) THOMAS G. STERRKTT

Contributions Still Roll In
The actual amount contributed all
over the country by'the sixty news
papers from Massachusetts to Califor
nia up to Friday night of last week
was $ 1-3,337.2 3. The New York Tri
bune leads with $6,373.12, the Boston
Record is second with $1,88.3G, the
Middletown Times-Press third with
SI,OOO, and the Harrisburg Telegraph
comes ninth on the list with over s22t).
Of the four newspapers in Pennsyl
vania that are supporting this move
ment, conceived and continued through
patrotic motives, the Telegraph leads,
with _the Eric Herald second with
$130.50, while the Lancaster New Era
and the Butler Citizen have but just
begun receiving contributions.
The generous contribution of the em
ployes of the Pennsylvania State Ar
senal is the best that has been given
during last week, in which time
the total lias swelled to $225.23. Lieu
tenant-Colonel Rausch, keeper of the
arsenal, expresses the hope that the
young lady who conceived the idea
will not only be successful, "but that
she will live to sec tile day when men
of means will follow her example by
assisting in the construction of the
largest navy in the worlil in order that
we may have protection ample for all
emergencies."
Owing: lo (tip necessity for liaste in
tlie matter of calculations, typograph
ical errors crept in last Monday and
not only were there duplications In
amounts, hut the total as set down was
wrong. The amount received as con
tributions up to and including March
27 was $214.35, instead of $117.55, as
stated.
Heretofore acknowledged . . . .$214.35

CENTRAL TOSSERS
TAKE UP SIGNALS
*
Hold Short Practice Today in j
Preparation For (iame
Tomorrow Night
Central High tossers held short)
signal practice this afternoon in prep- i
aration for the game with Reading
High to-morrow night. The second
game in the series to decide the Cen
tral Pennsylvania championship will I
be played on Chestnut Street Audi-!
torium floor. Reading won the first ;
game one week ago. The result was]
very unsatisfactory because of change
in rules.
The local tossers believe they can
win, and will go into the game in good
shape, and with the regular line-up.
Unusual interest is manifested in
Harrisburg and surrounding towns in
this game. York. Lancaster, Steel
ton, Carlisle, Mechanlosburg and
Marysville will send large crowds.
The Reading team will be ac
companied by not less than .100 root
ers.
The game is scheduled to start at
8:15 and between the halves there
will be an added attraction. After
the game a dance will be given in
honor of the Reading visitors. It is
probable that the third game, if neces
sary will be played at Lancaster.
Notable Athletes Enter
For Annual Relay Carnival
Special to the Telegraph
Philadelphia, Pa., April 3. Penn
sylvania's relay carnival to be held on
| April 28 and 29 will be more repre
sentative than ever this season. The
entries have just closed and they
ishow that practically the entire United
States will be represented in this meet.
A review of the entries shows that
every eastern and western intercol
! legiate champion now in college will
[be seen here on relay day. Simpson,
of Missouri, is counted on to win the
I hurdles. Butler, of Dubuque Colegc,
I and Smith, of Michigan, are out for
the sprint, while Mucks, of Wisconsin
is slated to make a killing in the shot
and discus. Chicago looks like the
dark horse In the one-mile relay. In
j Dismond Stagg has one of the great
j est quarter-mllers in the country.
His other men are good and they
j will be up at the end of the third
I quarter. With a chance of seeing
Dismond, of Chicago; Wilcox or
I Bingham, of Harvard; Moore, of
| Princeton, and Meredith of Pennsyl
| vania, all close together at the start of
the final quarter, the crowd will "have
in prospect one of the greatest races
of the year.
It looks now as if Pensylvania
would have to develop another world's
record team to retain the champion
ship so wonderfully won by Lock
wood, Kaufman, Lipincott and Mere
■ dith last year.

WELLY'S jjgk CORNER |
Only fifteen days more and Penn- ] i
sylvania trout fishermen will be on -
the job. Good weather alone is ;
needed to assure a successful opening <
day. The slocking of the streams
throughout the State within the past
three years, promises a goodly supply
of speckled beauties this season. Ang
lers are gathering up their fishing
tackle, and if real Spring weather'
continues, the streams should lie in 1
excellent shape for opening day?
The selection of Harry B. Slioop,
the local crack shot, to coach Tech I
; high shooters has brought much fav-1
orable comment. This champion is in \
the sport because he likes it. and he |
believes that every boy, and the girls,)
too. should lie given a chance to learn i
jto shoot. He had the Tech squad out
ion Saturday and good scores were I
i hung up. He will train the boys every!
week, and later on will pick a team to
go up against shooters from other
j schools.
Notice has been given that Reading
high tossers must not be interfered
with in the game to-morrow night with
Central high. While local players and
rooters are still sore over the treat
! ment received at Reading last week,
; Prof. Bertram W. Saul, athletic direc
tor, will not permit, a repetition of
rowdyism, and unfair rulings to-mor
row night. He said, "If Central can
; not win fairly I do not want to see the
team win. The high school players
have been credited throughout the
'season for clean work, and for taking
good care of visiting teams and I do
not intend t,o have the good reputation
I of the school injured at this time."

squad started work Saturday losing an
exhibition game to the Midway A. C.,

BISONS HERE TO
START TRAINING
Will Line Up at Island Park as
Soon as Ground Condi

Baseball at Island Park is scheduled
i to start this week when the Buffalo
j Internationals will line-up for prac

j for 15 days during which time theyj
will play Lebanon Valley and other 1
'college teams and two or three major!
j league clubs.
! A number of the players came in
i last night. Pat Donovan and the
balance are expected to-day. There
! will be 22 players in the squad and
during their stay in Harrisburg' will
; be quartered at Hotel Columbus.
The Island is not in the best condi
| tlon for practice, but with clear
j weather to-day and to-morrow, it Is
expected the players will be able to
begin training Wednesday. In the
mean time the Bisons will try to get
some outdoor exercise on the cinder
at the Municipal field on the lower
end of the Island and will take dally
exercises In the Y. M. C. A. gym

Thorpe Goes to Milwaukee; i
Fails to Hit Giants' Stride
Special to the Telegraph
Beaumont, Tex., April 3. The
career of Jim Thorpe as a major j
league athletic is over, perhaps. John |
.T. McGraw has released the famous
Sac and Fox to the Milwaukee team
of the American Association under
the optional agreement, but it is the
consensus of opinion that the option!
will not be exercised.
Thorpe will report to his new team
at once. Thorpe was not the only ath
lete to fall under the sweep of the
pruning knife. Joe Rodriguez, the
young Cuban first baseman, was ship
ped to the New London team of the
league to be formed from the merger
of the New England League and the
Eastern Asociation.
The Tailure of Thorpe to live up to
promise was a disappointment to Mc-
I Graw. When the Indian reported this
i Spring he changed his stand at the
| plate and hit left-handed. He failed j
<0 work any greal improvement, how
ever, and his nemesis of old, the slow !
curve, worked Just as great havoc with
his batting average as ever. Jim could !
not hit the benders with any degree of
success.
Local Shooters Start
Target Season Saturday
The target season for members of j
the Harrisburg Sportsmen's Associa
tion started Saturday. A large list of!
shooters entered the 100 target race.

of Enola, score 15 to 9. Neither team i
was in shape, and the field was too
soft for real work. Coach Tatem had
every pitcher busy. The Midway hoys
were in better shape. Next Saturday,
Academy plays Conway Hall at Car
lisle.
| The game at Chestnut Street Audi
torium Saturday night between the
Harrisburg Independents and Camden,
i brought to the close one of the most
i successful basketball seasons Harris
burg has had. The members of the,
Harrisburg Basketball Association in
the beginning of the season told local;
fans that they would offer the best |
j attractions possible. The general opin
j ion prevails that they have more than j
made good. It is understood there:
will be an early start next season with
'a strong team. Some new faces are
expected, as several of the stars will
not be available.
"Red" Crane got in bad at Jackson
ville Saturday when he threw his bat
: at the local pitcher. Crane was hit !
by a pitched ball and he claims the]
i pitcher did it intentionally. There
1 was a lively scrap brewing when wiser
heads intervened and separated the
, players. While a general impression
■ prevailed that Crane's claim was jus
' tlfied, his action was severely critl
■ clsed. The offending pitcher was told
a few things bv Connie Mack.
i The board of governors of the Mo
• tor Club of Harrisburg announce a
; busy session for to-night. In addition
■ to the discussion of plans to aid Pen
i brook in getting paved streets, plans
for the season's runs will he taken up.
There is also a list of new members
I to be considered. The Motor Club
members are anxious to make this a
