It was the first of a series of boxing shows under the auspices of the West End Republican Club. There were 1,000 spectators present, including thirty-five women. Every body was more than pleased. New features on last night's bill were a 10-round and an 8-round mix- I up. Both exhibitions furnished plenty ; excitement, but at the conclusion opinions were divided as to the ad ! vantages of bouts going over six j rounds when no title is at stake. One I thing strongly objected to last night j was the frequent calls from spectators to the men in the ring. Only once was an effort made to stop this rowdy feature, when Frankie Erne, the for j mer Harrisburg boxer, called an ofH | cer and asked him to quiet several noisy fans. Windup Hard Battle I The windup between Frankie Mc- Guire, of Williamsport, and Joe Hunt ing, of Philadelphia, was one of the | bloodiest battles ever seen in Harris burg. McGuire outpointed his op ponent. but the later was game and took hard punishment. He gave Mc | Guire some stiff punchers. The bull dog tenacity shown by Hunting pleased the crowd. Several times he looked like a goner, but came back strong. In the semi-final eight-round bout between Battling .Morgan and Texas : Kid, of Philadelphia, who was sub ! stituted in the place of Mickey Brown, who it was announced from the ring "had cold feet," the Texas Kid proved to be one of the toughest opponents the "Battler" ever tackled. This bout was greatly menaced by the persistent clinching of both fighters. Morgan showed he knew the fighting game, but lie was a disappointment to many I last night. Harrisburgei' Scores Knockout I Willie Green, the Harrisburg boy, sent Henry Smith, of Baltimore, to dreamland in the fifth round. Green i showed remarkable improvement over j his previous eflorls and gave evidence of being a comer, llis opponent was a hard slugger. A light to the jaw with a stomach punch dropped smith. ; lie was too winded to try to come back. Smith tried hard to cover up ( in clinches. I'atsy Sylvester, of Philadelphia, who substituted for Kid Whitten, in i the bout with Tim Droney, of l,an i caster, kept the latter busy at every i turn of the game. It was a case of hit and get away for both boys. Dro i ne.v has a lightening short swing and a fast jab, but was slow on the foot j work. j An extra bout staged between Cur | tis Cuminings, of Baltimore, and Ed die Costgan, of Harrisburg, resulted l in a draw. The boys each fought hard throughout the bout and both took an | assortment of punishment. The next I show will bp held in the Chestnut Street Auditorium on May 8. Can't Store Boats on Granolithic Walk of River Front Wall Storing of boats of any description on the granolithic walk of the Uiver j Kront wall, even temporarily, will not j be tolerated by the park department, according to City Commissioner E. Z. Gross, superintendent. Park Commissioner Gross made that emphatic statement yesterday in ordering the removal from Ihe wall j near Boas street of a big boat that had been pulled upon the walk. "We I prefer not to have the boats on the I bank at all," said Mr. Gross, "but there are times possibly when this i can't be avoided especially during ] high water. However, there is ample room between the toe of the embank ment and the edge of the walk for this purpose, so that it is not necessary to i block up the walk with craft. We're not going to permit anyone to set a precedent and for that reason we've I ordered this boat off the walk." Commissioner Gross started a force j of men clearing away the accumula tion of mud and other debris which j had been washed upon the walk just I below the gap at "Hardscrabble." C. of C.

Baseball Stars Ready For Opening Battles; Majors Get Going Tomorrow The clarion call of "Play ball!" will 'echo throught the land to-morrow. These stirring words will mean more this season than ever before, for they | will mark the beginning of a new era in baseball. Xo more baseball | strife, no dissensions or internal dis orders to disrupt the many major I league teams, no more exalted views ot the players in their connections with I the magnates. With the defection of the Federal i League the players realize that they now are mere baseball chattels, and | as such will devote all their energies toward the betterment of the posi tions of their respective teams in the ! two league races. It is estimated that upward of 175,- j (tot) red-blooded Americans will flock to tlie eight bin league parks to usher in the new baseball season —a sea ! son that is expected to be the most j prosperous from a financial stand-j j point, and more uncertain and there- • ' lore more bitterly fought, from a j 1 playing viewpoint, than any in the an ; nals of the national pastime. 1 Alaska Dog Race Starts; Trail in Fair Condition I Nome, Alaska, April 11. —The great | I sporting event of the far north, tlie j annual all-Alaska sweepstakes dog! race focused attention to-day on I I Nome, the starting point of the 412- mile contest over the snow trail to | !

They were also given an eight-round exhibition at last night's show. . When the big program was over many of the spectators were of the opinion that they would rather see six rounds of fast fighting than ten rounds with frequent clinching and holding tactics in order that the battle would go the limit. Those who know the fight game claim that last night's prolonged bouts were an exception as to real fighting. They will get an other chance to see a long battle on May 8. Everything comes to him who waits. Manager Patsy Donovan, of the Buf falo International League club, en joyed the first real sunny day since he, arrived in Harrisburg with his Bison ' squad. The Island Park grounds this morning, while a little soft in places, were in good shape for a battle this afternoon. The game with- Susque hanna University promised much in terest. , The selection of Eddie Harris to lead 'lie Tech High football eleven next season brought much favorable com ment. Harris has been in the game and on a number of occasions showed good head work. As a leader he has proven his ability, in the opinion of all who have watched his work on the gridiron and basketball floor.
