Darcy Turns Down Offers; Awaits Carpentier Contract New York, Dec. 27,—The sum of $75,000 was offered to Les Darcy, the middleweight champion of Australia, to sign a contract calling for three bouts. This offer was made by Dan McKetrick, a local boxing promoter. McKetrlck also effered Darcy a purse of $25,000 if the Australian would agree to engage in one bout, but Darcy refused both offers. Otters for bouts have been pouring In on Darcy ever since his arrival was announced by promoters all over the country. He declared to-day, however, that he had no matches in mind and had no definite plans for the future. Asked about his proposed appearance in vaudeville, Darcy replied that he had not yet started negotiations in this direction. Tex Rlckard. who brought Darcy to jthls country, admitted that the con- Tract he had forwarded to Georges •Carpentier, the French boxer, had been signed by Carpentier and was now on its way to this country. Rlck ard is expecting to receive it in a few days. Ted Meredith in Danger; Violates Newspaper Clause New York, Dec. 27.—Ted Meredith, world's greatest middle distance run ner, Is in danger of losing his amateur standing because on Sunday last he allowed his name to be used over a story that appeared on a local sporting page. This Is in violation of clause D of article X of the constitution of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States, which says, in part: "By granting or sanctioning the use of one's name to advertise by engag ing for pay or financial benefit in any occupation or business transaction wherein his usefulness or value arises chiefly from the publicity given, or to be given, to the reputatiton or fame which he has secured from his per formances." While Meredith's breach is cause for disbarment, the rule grants the board of governors power to pardon him for the ofTense, i. e., "upon it being shown to the satisfaction of the said board that such person has ceased to commit any of the acts or to engage in any of the pursuits or practices set uown in said clause." Bits From Sportland Marshall All-Stars will meet the Olympics to-night at the Armory. Fields, the Central High fullback, will play with the Olympics. Les Darcy should go back home a rich man if he takes on all the' engage ments offered him. Enhaut ex-High tossers won last night over Middletown Rescues; score, 19 to 14. E.

The Uptown team was last night's victor In the Bankers League, defeat ing the Hill bowlers by a score of 2240 to 2217. Mumma, of the Hill five, and Hamilton, of the victors, each bowled 200. Mumma had 521 for total. An emphatic denial comes from Lancaster that Franklin and Marshall will drop Gettysburg. De Neri. tossers who were recently transferred to AUentown will return to Philadelphia. League magnates reached this decision last night. Allen town is a poor basketball town and money was forthcoming at De Nerl's Did home. Bethlehem is making a bid for the Froeland five of the Central League.

The book is by Felix Doer mann, revised and adapted by Cosmo Hamilton and Dorothy Donnelly. The lyrlccs are by Percy Waxman and the score by Charles Cuvillier and Milton Schwarzwald. The scenes are laid in Russia. The story has to do with a cabaret singer who, without his know ing her past means of livelihood, mar ries Prince Nicholas Demldoff. Believ ing that a princess should conduct her self in a cold, dignified manner, she for gets her naturalness with the result that the prince soon tires of her. In his search for frivolity he goes to Petrograd and visits the "Sign of the Golden Calf." The princess, at the same time, returns to her old life for one night and there meets her husband. She explains that she is a twin sistei known as "Flora Bella," and the prince believing her, falls desperately in love with her, and all ends happily. The producers have selected an expensive cast for the presentation of the play here. In the excellent company will be seen such artists as Gabrielle Gray, Rhoda Nichols, end Marion Dyer.

Really? und Well, to enlighten you, so that Frits" you won't be perplexed or come unprepared, they are the creation of that resourceful and clever cartoonist, R. Dirks, who created the world-famous "Katzenjammer Kids." "Hans und Fritz" Is the name of the new musical comedy, in three acts, sponsored, produced and fathered by that astute and successful manager, Gus Ilili. Mr. Hill has given the public such triumphs as "Bringing Up Father," "Mutt and Jeff," "Happy Hooli gan," and other popular plays. His latest, employing u massive and com petent cast, is in three acts and three scenes, and is said to be the best he has ever presented. A dozen special songs and musical numbers, written and com posed expressly for the offering, will be introduced. Twenty pretty girls form an important part in the comedy, which Is brimful of novelty, action, and origi nal feaures. It will be the attraction at the Orpheum New Year's, matinee and night. Harrisburg is at last to hear bona flde Grand Opera in a setting and on a stage suited for the pur- Phlladelphia pose. The Philadelphia (■rand Opera Grand Opera Company Company will charter a special train of seven cars to ap pear in this city, at the Orpheum Thea ter, next Saturday, afternoon and night coming direct to this city from their successful appearance of the past ten days in Philadelphia, and returning thereto late Saturday night after the evening performance of "11 Trovatore."

These casts win be Identical to those appearing in Phila delphia.

The equipment Is furnished through courtesy of the Metropolitan people. Seats are now selling for both performances, and an early selection Is advised. That the engagement of John Drew, lj 'Major Pendennis." at the Orpheum Tuesday evening, ia attracting: John unusual attention, is manifest- Drew ed by the active sale of reserv ed seats reported by the box office magnates. The dramatization of "Pendennis," under the title of "Major Pendennis," has been made by Langdon Mitchell, who gave months to the work, and ho has produced a stage picture of ."Pendennis" well worth while. | The role of the "Major," one of Thackeray's most delightful creations, will, naturally, be played by Mr. Drew, and that the performance will be prove a revelation, goes without further say ing, to those who have followed Mr. Drew's splendid career closely. Aiding Mr. Drew, there will be: Bran don Tynan, Helen Mackellar, Alison Skipworth, Lester Lonergan, and sev eral others who have attained promi nent positions in the theatrical hall of fame. If you want to be amused, go to the Majestic Theater, where a good comedy show is appearing the first At the half of this week. The fea- MnJeHtlc ture attraction on the bill is a very entertaining musical comedy entitled, "O, Please, Mr. Detec tive." A bevy of good-looking chorus girls furnish the singing and dancing in the act, while Bobby -Woolsey Is re sponsible for the comedy. Other acts on the bill are: Baron Lichter, clever pianolog artist; the Do Bourg Sisters, introducing some amusing sleight-of liand tricks; Mary and Jack, the clever juvenile performers, and Wilson Frank lin and company in a laughable comedy sketch entitled, "My Wife Won't Let Me." A return engagement of the well known musical comedy success, "Mother Goose," will be shown the last three days of this week with J. C. Mack, the celebrated comedian, in the title role. Those who have not as yet taken the opportunity to see "Less Than the Dust" at the Regent, I.ast Day of should do so to-day. Than the It will be shown to- Bnst" at the day for the last time. Regent Theater Mary Pickford Is seen as a little orphan girl of English birth who. left alone in a city of India, is adopted by a native sword-maker and reared among the lower caste and is consequently re garded as being "less than the dust." During the uprising of the natives the Britisii garrison is attacked and the girl rescues a young officer. Later it is discovered that she is of good birth and the officer wins her heart. As the little girl of the natives Mary Pickford is seen in some of her best comedy work. To-morrow and Friday The bril liant Japanese actor, Sessue Hayakawa, supported by Myrtle Stedman, will be presented in an unusual drama, "The Soul of Kura-San."

How Kura-San is wronged by an American artist, and how her sweetheart revenges himself on the artist's intended American bride, goes to make a story swift in its action, unusual in Its theme and start ling in its originality. Theda Bara has been seen in many different plays and In many different characters, but it is Theda Ilara in doubtful If she has ever "The Serpent," been presented in a ple at the Colonial ture that shows her to better advantage than "The Serpent," the magnificent produc tion booked to appear at the Colonial Theater to-day and to-morrow.

The picture is in six parts, and the entire production is above the aver age photoplay. For the first time in a number of weeks, a new Keystone com edy will be shown. It is called "Blue Eyes and -Black," and will afford you thirty minutes of laughs and thrills. Fridav and Saturday. William S.

For Madison Square Garden, if pres ent schemes do not fall through, soon will be a civic center. There will be exhibitions of futurist or "plastic" art unknown and poor painters may get a showing and there will be music for the masses, good music of the sort that is heard at the Metropolitan Opera 1 louse, but much cheaper. This new temple of art will be presided over by Miss Isadore Duncan, dancer anil artist. The Garden was sold last Saturday under foreclosure sale for $2,000,000.

Armstrong, the highest scorer on the team, Camp Hill High School was dofeated last night by the Alumni in one of the fastest games of the season; 19 to 10.

Schwab Sot Building Submarines For Allies Is Testified at Plot Trial San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 27. —Coun- ter accusations of violations of neu trality continued to-day at the trial of Fran Bopp, German consul general and six assistants, who are charge with conspiracy to violate American neutrality by hampering shipment of munitions to the entente allies. Con sul Bopp, whose cross examination was completed yesterday, said that American manufacturers are not over scrupulous in their regard for strict observance of neutrality and that in various ways they sought to aid en emies of tlio German government. It was to trace these alleged violations that the local German consulate em ployed agents to visit,various parts of the United States and Canadu, Bopp said, but not for the purpose of dynamiting rairoad tunnels and munitions ships as the government al leges. Theodore Boche, Chief of counsel for the defence introduced correspon dence yesterday from the department of State to Count Bernstorff, the Ger man ambassador on the subject of American built submarines for the British government. Included was a statement from Charles M. Schwab, to the effect that the Bethlehem Steel Company was not building any sub marines for the entente allies. Yale "Girls" in "Ours" Reported Charming as Ever Last year the Yale Dramatic As sociation, which will present Tom Rob ertson's "Ours" in the Orpheum The ater on Friday evening at 8.15, had considerable publicity thrust upon it in connection with the faculty ruling prohibiting men to play girls' parts for two successive years. Persons who signed themselves as psychologists wrote long pieces for the Sunday magazines proving that the in terpretation of a woman's part tended to make the actor effeminate. The question was, of course, magnified and overdone, but it convinced the ofllcers of the Yale Dramatic-Association that it was inadvisable to give a play in which the women were as influential in the plot as they are in real life. In "Ours" there are only three femi nine roles. Blanche and Mary are said to be charming. Blanche is typically mid-Victorian. Her heart often aches, but she is too proper to show It, save by an occasional sigh. Mary, however, has a lot of pep. She doesn't mind telling a person just what she thinks about him, and,-in fact, does so several times in the course of the play. The rest of the trio is Lady Shen-' dryn, played bv a member of the fresli man crew. She is an ill-tempered, sus picious, unsympathetic, high-spirited lady of elderly years. She plagues her long-suffering husband nearly to death, but comes through before the final curtain with a fine outburst of wifely affection.

At a meeting that was held in the Waldorf last week a num ber of prominent baseball men who are working for the success of the movement discussed ways and means for the campaign to be carried on. If the bill passes it will mean base ball on Sunday at the Polo grounds and at Ebbets field in Brooklyn, not to mention games in the several cities of the State which have minor league clubs. Buffalo, Rochester, Albany, Syracuse, Troy, Utlca, Binghamton, Elmira and other cities are interested in the bill and there is much senti ment in all these places for Sunday games. Fans Favor Sunday Games The minor leagues were represent ed at. the meeting here and it was ex plained that thousands of up-State fans would add their voices to the clamor from the big city for favor able legislation. John H. Farrell, sec retary, of the National Association was here representing the minor lea gues. During the greater part of last sea son fans from Brooklyn were asked to express their feelings on the ques tion of Sunday Baseball President Charles H. Ebbets assuring them that ho was perfectly willing to abide by the decision which this poll would give. The signatures ran between 50,000 and 100,000 and the vote against Sunday ball was so small that it might be termed negligible. This satisfied President Ebbets that the fans of Brooklyn at least were in favor of the proposition and he stands ready to help them get favorable ac tion, just as he declared he would when the plan of getting signatures was first put up to him. in other ways the sentiment has been sounded else whore and it is so strong that loaders in the movement look for an affirm ative reply from Albany. Independents Hold Deciding Votes in Speakership Fight Washington, D. C\, Dec. 27. Re vised figures on returns of the last election show definitely that neither Democrats nor Republicans will have the majority of the next House neces sary to elect a speaker, and that a handful of Independents will deter mine which side will control the or ganization. Conceding seats to candidates in possession of certificates of election, because they are certain to participate in the organization of the House, the personnel now stands: Republicans, 214; Democrats, 213: Independents, 2; Progressives, 2; Prohibitionist, 1; So cialist, 1; contested, 2. A majority is 218, hence should either Democrats or Republicans win both of the contested seats, they still would be short of a majority. All of the independents are main taining strict silence regarding their attitude on the speakership, but the Democratic and Republican leaders are agreed on how most of them will vote, provided caucuses are held and solidarity maintained by the two old parties. Burglar Visits Calhoun; Falls From Roof, Is Dead A Pittsburgh burglar reached the third story roof of the home occupied by Mr. and Mrs. John C. Calhoun, 911 West Ohio street, Allegheny, one night last week, and while attempting to break into tho house, accidentally fell frotn the roof to the street and was killed instantly. Calhoun was the manager of the Binghamton State League club last sea son, and during two preceding years. He was recently secured by Wllkes- Barre to lead the Barons In the 1917 campaign. In a letter to a friend n Bingham ton, Calhoun faijed to give the name of the robber, but said that he was not awake at the time' of the attempted robbery. "If I had been wise to what was go ing on," says Calhoun, "I might have taken a shot at the intruder." It is the supposition that the bur glar did not know that Calhoun Is a sleuth and usually has a revolver handy for use. During the off-season Cal houn Is kept pretty busy rounding up criminals around the North Side sec tion of Pittsburgh.

Something better in a basketball at traction Is promised for next Saturday night when Pittston's Pennsylvania League team will play the local Inde pendents. On Monday Lancaster's team of all stars will be the attraction. Now that Les Darcy Is in the United States anil lias a manager it Is time for some big offers. Ring exhibitions are becoming more like baseball stars. High prices are falling. Boxing shows might prove more profitable if every bout was on the level. What this coun try needs is a boxing commission in every State and a national commis sion for the United States. Johnny Evers has another ambition. It is to remain in baseball long enough to be the oldest player in point of ser vice in the National League. The only Wilson's Plurality Over Hughes in Last Election Was 568,822 Votes New York, Dec. 27.

Naval Training Offered to 10,000 Civilians Washington, D. C.. Dec. 27.—An opportunity for 10,000 civilians to re ceive naval training during the coming year will be offered under Navy De partment plans completed to-day, con templating the use of twelve reserve battleships for a summer training cruise, the establishment of coast training camps at San Francisco, Chi cago, Norfolk, Newport and probably Pensacola, and the organization of motorboat squadrons, made up of owners of private motor craft.
