The latter did a great deal of stalling and whtle in the opening rounds he was a shade the better of the deal in the last rounds Wolf came back strong and the best that could be given the bout was a shade for Magulre. Peppery Ilovs Peto Mowel, Philadelphia, and Young Sharkey, Reading showed the most pep and action of the show and the bt>ut was the best of the evening. The mill was a farce at times when Sharkey cut his funny capers. He is the kind that, would make the most skeptical believe that Old Man Darwin was right in his theory when he got down on his haunches and made faces at Howel. Sharkey did not show much in the opening rounds and 0. second after the bell a. stiff left to tho jaw sent him on his back. He took a great deal of punishment, but was always forcing the light. In the last three rounds he waded in with all his might and evened matters up. Sharkey laid for a hay maker, but by clever jabbing and dodging Howel frustrated the attempt. Howel's manager claimed that his protege broke a bone in his left hand in the first round, but whe-a the referee announced it to the fans It wouldn't hold water. It was ascertained later, however, that Ilowel had split his hand near the wrist joint. The second dish on the fistic bill was between Jack Dewey, Harrlsburg, and Joe Metz, Lancaster. The fight was the poorest of the evening, and about the only thing Metz had on Dewey was eighteen pounds. Young Eshelmen, Steelton, and Frankio Flawd, Lancaster, occupied the stage in the opening bout and the mill was a general goo*J mimp,at times merging into the ordinary free for all scrap. Flawd showed the best boxing ability and bothered the Steelton la<l with a left jab. Eshleman has a reach like a Willard. and at times swung like a Holland windmill. In the second round ho caught Flawd with a right, sending hint to his knee for the count of nine. Flawd had a chance to put across the haymaker In the last round, but was too weak to shove it across. It was Flawd's bout by a good margin. Johnnie Wolgast presented his alibi in person by stepping on the canvas just prior to the last bout. It was very evident that his body was swath ed In bandages and the fans accepted his excuse and cheered lustily when it was announced that if his rib has heal ed sufficiently he will meet Maguirc in this city April 11.

Story of Rigoletto's one virtue is "IliKoIetto" his love for his daughter, Giida, whoin lie lias con cealed in a cottage remote front the palace and its licentious courtiers. A jest is devised: Rigoletto is to be blindfolded and led to the cottage to assist in the abduction of the daughter lot a count who has long been his enemy. Gilda, herself, is borne away to the palace of the duke, who finds that she is a maiden whom he has wooed in the disguise of a poor stu dent. Maddened by the trick, Rigoletto ar ranges to lure the duke to a wayside tavern to be murdered by one Spara fueile, a professional assassin. Madda lena, sister of the desperado, begs bet brother to spare the duke's life. They then decide that the life of the first man entering the tavern shall be taken. Gilda. however, overhears from the out side. and, clad as a man, enters the inn to save the duke's life. She is set upon and mortally wounded. As Rigoletto bends over the sack Into which the body had been placed a song iis heard from a room. It proves to be i the voice of the duke.

Central Showing Rare Form Central is anxious to redeem itself for the defeat suffered at Steelton sev eral weeks ago and Coach McCord has been working his men hard during the week. In the former contest Central was without the servicrS of two regu lars, Gregory and Fields, and Maloney and Wolf, two second string men were used in the game. The two Inellglbles are again back in the line-up and the only thing Central can see is a vic tory. The Central team has been showing improved form over the con test with Tech last week and when these two teams meet on March 29 one of the greatest games of the season Is i expected. be one of the most memorable in the theatrical history of this city. Following its record-breaking run of half a year at the Belasco and George M. Cohan theaters, Orpheum Theater New York, David t Have Belasco will bring "Seven t'lianee*" his new comedy success, "Seven Chances," to the Orpheum Theater on Friday, March 30. The story treats in a clean and wholesome manner the pre dicament of a young bachelor and con firmed womanhater, who Is obliged to marry within twenty-four hours to in herit a large fortune left by his grand father. His efforts to tlnds a wife in such a shout space of time provides no end of. fun. With a briliant Broadway company totaling over fifty persons and includ ing a beauty chorus that "Blue can really sing and dance I'uradiae" In addition to simply deco rate the stage, "The Blue raradise," said to be the most popular and satisfying of all recent operettas, is announced by the Messrs.

If so, call around at At the the Majestic the last half of Majestic til is week and try on the mysterious "Tango Shoes" that wil enable you to waltz, fox-trot, or do any of the other dances that you have always wanted to learn. "Tango .Shoes" is an excellent comedy offering that will head the new bill of vaude ville, and is said to be a scream from start to finish. Bell and Fredo, the popular team of "wop" comedians that scored such a hit here last season, are an added attraction on tho bill. Jenks and Allen, in a rural comedy variety turn; Picquo, the European clown, in a novel comedy gymnastic offering, and one other act, complete the bill. Pretty Edith Storey, one of the most popular stars on the screen, will appear at the Colonial Thea "Money Mnglo" tcr to-day and to at the Coluiilnl morrow in a Vita graph Blue Ribbon feature, "Money Magic,' in which she is starred with Antonio Moreno. Most of the scenes of this picture are laid out-of-doors and are exceptionally pic turesque. The story deals with a girl who marries a man out of gratitude, and for the comfort his great fortune would give her. He was a hopeless invalid and she found herself little more than a nurse. Of life itself she had nothing. Then into her life came youth and love in the form of a younger man. but, like her. he was bound in honor to his be trothed, a frail, weak girl, who was nearing the close of her brief day. What sacrifice, whose self-denial could set aright these tangled threads? "Money Magic" is a story that is 111 led with human Interest and has a splen did climax. Francis X.

Police Club Serves As Extension For Pistol A policeman's club, which la so made that It can also be used as an extension to a pistol barrel, thereby changing the latter into a sort of rifle, has been invented by the Sheriff of Alameda county, Cal. The extension has the outward appearance of an ordinary hickory club, but contains a steel barrel so fashioned at one end that it can be quickly attached to a pistol's nozzle. It is said that it more than doubles the range of the fire arm and makes possible greater accu racy in aiming. It is fourteen inches long and a pound.—l>opular Mechanics Magazine.
