mission law aaid also 1o prohibit (he
moving pictures of prizefights to be |
exhibited in tlais. State.

and other legislators supporting the j
propositions isnjbodied in the bill had
an entirely vrong idea of pugilistic 1
enterprises in. *this State; that instead i
of their beingr ■corrupt. and brutal, they ■
were honorabdy conducted, and in i
Moran's own,, language "the greatest
and most ri-actical exercise for a '
proper dewel/opment of the human 1
\ Maran adtn) itted that It was the first j
lime he had*fever interested himself in I
le\U|liitive ma .tiers. He had a personal s
tal \ with Sqnator Jones. The latter i
said was surprised. "Why, the man
is a \ perfects gentleman." remarked

Important Business on Calendar; Man Change Officials With
Headquarters in Tliis Ctty
MANAGER GEORGE XV. COCKILL
Representatives from nine cities, a ]
score of managers and a number of]
i players are in I (arrisburg to-day for
jthe meeting of the Pennsylvania State '
League. A busy session is looked for. i
'The meeting was scheduled to
lat 2 o'clock this afternoon at Hotel
[Plaza. However, it may be later in 1
j the day before the magnates get down
j to business, as there are a number of
{bonds and contracts that must be look
lied over.
j Indications are that the representa- j
♦lives to-day will decide upon a change
fin officials. The president, Abraham
tßosenbluth. is a busy New York at- ■
>torney, and will not be able to give
(bis entire attention to league mat
piers. William R. Douglass, of Harris-i
Jnirg, has been mentioned as his sue-!
/lessor. If elected he will be given j
J power to select a secretary. Leo j
f Groome who has been the big hustler j
(I in the interest of the league will look!
Rafter the Harrisburg interests. He I
will also name a local representative,
as business requires his presence in j
I New York at intervals. •
t\ President Rose ibiutli here
i The early arrivals last night were
. President Rosenbluth, Leo Groome. j
and Hugh McKinnon. The latter is
j another Uvewjre who has been on the J
■ jump since the last meeting. He is j
I anxious to oniplete details to-day and
start the season on May 10. Mr. Mc-
Kinnon has been over the circuit with j'
other officials and reports conditions J J
very encouraging. j
At the meeting of the league in I
Philadelphia two weeks ago, a rule j -
j was adopted giving the president the j«
! sole right to make public the doings < <
of the league. For this reason a num- i'
'bet- of the representatives were non-|f
committal on conditions in their re-1
j spective cities, preferring to wait until 1
j they made a report to the meeting.!
Hugh McKinnon said:
"We are going thorugh with the i
i proposition. Lack of confidence in i
some cities has delayed enthusiasm
' with the fans, but since the meeting
in Philadelphia everybody is boosting

"There may be more hitches, but I
we are here to-day to straighten
things out, adopt a schedule and start!
greater activity. Harrisburg, Lancas- ]
ter. Reading, and Lebanon are ready j
to begin the season any time. Of
course there are players to si.*sn up,
j but the one big difficulty, grounds, has
: been overcome in these cities.
York Is All Klßlit
»
"At York there was a misunder
standing. While we prefer the plot, j
in the central portion of the city, the
Pennsylvania State Leugue does not
want to buy property, and it looks
very much as if the games in York will
, lie played 011 the fair grounds. Allen- 1
[town was slow in coming around, but
I obstacles have been overcome in thai
city. Altoona will be fixed up to-day,!
land we have a magnate from Canada
! who had a Canadian league 'team 1
| ready, but owing to the war that or
ganization will not start, and he is
j willing to take his entire team and
j franchise to Johnstown. Once the
j bonds are up we will be able to go j
ahead with a rush. The represents- !
; lives for to-day's meeting are:
I Harrisburg, Leo Groome, George
| Cockill and Wellington G. Jones;
; York, George Washington Heckert;
I. B. Keinhart, Lancaster; Paul T. |
Davis and James Sheckard, Heading;
Willie Keeler, Allentown; Hugh Me-
Kinnon, Lebanon; J. Percy Stetler,
Altoona; Knaughton Lee and Charles
Ilellinger, Johnstown and H. V. Smith, '
Atlantic City. The latter is here!
seeking a franchise, but is willing to
offer inducements to have games play- !
ed in that city at intervals during the 1
season.
