LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE VARSITY FIVE MEETS HASSETT TOSSERS TO-NIGHT
LIVELY BOUTS ON
BOXING PROGRAM
Frankie McGuire Has Best of
"Kid" Alberts; Local Boy
Wins on Foul
Boxing enthusiasts last night wit
nessed two bouts that eclipse any
thing in ring exhibitions ever seen in
Harrisburg. In a ten-round mill
Frankie McGuire of Willlamsport had
the best of Kid Alberts of Frederick,
Sid. This was something like a ring
battle should be. Both men were in
evidence from start to finish.
The eight-round go between Frankie
Erne of Lancaster, a former Harris
burger, and A 1 Murphy, of Scranton,
also proved a hair-raising mixup. The
Scranton boy looked like a winner on
points, but he did not have the easy
"time experienced in the first bout with
Frankie Erne lust May.
McGuire Use Deft
In the ten-round wlndup Alberts
had a punch and proved a strong in
flghter. McGuire was cool and work
ed his left to an advantage. The
Maryland lad showed slightly better
infighting experience. He had the
best of four of the rounds. The other
six were unquestionably McGuire's.
The eight-round semi-windup was
an interesting exhibition and both
boys were on the move all the time.
Erne was stronger in every round
after the fifth. It was a scientific
hat tie and won much favorable com
ment.
Short Preliminaries
The preliminaries ended early.
Referee Jack Zundell of Reading
stopped the bout between Johnny Wil
liams of Coatesville and Kid Murphy
of Lancaster in the third round. The
hoys were using their heads fre
quently and Williams received a hard
blow in the stomach that put him al
most into dreamland.
Herb Hunter of Harrisburg, was
fouled by Fighting Ben of York in
the fourth round and received a blow
In the groin that may keep him out
of the ring for sometime. Those who
watched this bout closely are of the
opinion that the foul was not inten
tional. Hunter, according to a gen
eral belief was partly to blame for
the foul. He won the battle on the
decision, and when in shape will give
the York man another chance.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
Postpone Baseball Suit
Until April Court Term
Baltimore, -Md., Jan. 25.—The trial
of the $900,000 damage suit of the
Federal Baseball Club of Baltimore
against organized baseball was post
poned until April by Judge Thompson
in the United States district court on
the agreement of counsel representing
both sides. The case was called yes
terday before Judge Thompson for
the purpose of fixing a date for trial
at the February term of court.
Counsel informed the court that, by
agreement of both sides, the case
would be postponed until April. The
statement of claim in the suit was
filed on March 29 of last year.
The suit is directed against the Na
tional league, the American League
and all clubs within those organ
izations, August Herrmann, B. B.
Johnson and John Iv. Tener, of the
national baseball commission, and
James A. Gilmore, Charles Weeghman
and Harry Sinclair, formerly of the
Federal League.
The Raltlmore club charges that the

conspiracy to injure or destroy the
Baltimore Federal League club and

Coach Folwell Still Out;
Must Wait For Committee
Philadelphia, Jan. 25. —The sched
uled meeting yesterday between Bob
Folwell, last year's coach of the Penn
football team, and Wharton Sinkler,
chairman of the Red and Blue foot
ball committee, was postponed in
definitely because of the latter's ill
ness. He is suffering with a heavy
cold and left his office earlv in the
afternoon. Folwell and Sinkler were
to have discussed the matter of the
former's salary for the 1917 gridiron
season and on the result of such a
conference hangs the possibility of
Folwell's return this year.
Folwell is said to ask for $3,000 in
crease over his present salary, which
rumor fixes at $5,000, and over the
salary which the football committee is
willing to pay.
Not only is there a hitch over the
matter of salary, but it is not entirely
certain that the Jersey agriculturist is
keen about returning to Penn as
coach. If he is and a considerable In
crease In his salary is made, it is
though tthat Folwell will be asked to
go the route alone without the services
of any assistant coaches.
