He clamored back into the ring, but was given the same treat-1 rnent and the referee stopped the bout., Merle Lehmer and Claude Gerdcs, both of this city, were matched aginst [. each other In the second bout and it j was as lively as the tirst.

Brumbaugh to Recent Let ter Read to Members Ix>yalty on the part of the members of the Harrlsburg Rifle Club brought an appreciative response from Gov ernor Brumbaugh. A few days ago H. A. Douglas, president of the club, noti fied Governor Brumbaugh by letter that the services of the members were at the command of the state and na tion. His letter follows: "In the matter of taking an inven tory of the resources of the Common wealth of Pennsylvania for military purposes and for preparedness I would advise you that the liarrisburg Rifle Club offers its services to the state and to the nation. The Harrisburg Rifle Club is an organization chartered under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylva nia. subject to the rules of the Na tional Ritte Association of America, for the promotion of rifle practice in accordance with an act of Congress approved April 27. 1914. "The club has a membership ot 110 men, 80 per cent, of whom are quali fied marksmen, sharpshooters and ex perts. Many of the members have seen active service in the Spanish- American War; others have been con nected with the National Guard of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. About 90 of the members of the club are armed with United .States milltarv Springfield rifles and with Krag-Jor gensen rifles, with 200 to 500 rounds of ammunition per man. In addition the club owns 4,000 rounds of ammu nition." The following reply was read at a meeting of the club held last night in the Wyeth Building: Letter from the Governor Mr. H. A. Douglas. President Harris burg Rifle Club, Harrisburg, Pa.: My Dear Mr. Douglas—X am di rected to acknowledge tjie receipt of your communication of the 23d inst., and to assure you of the Governor's high appreciation of your patriotic offer at this critical time for the state and the nation. Your letter has been forwarded to Mr. George Wharton Pepper, chair man of the recently appointed Com mittee of Public Safety for Pennsylva nia. for his information and consid eration. Yours very trulv, W. H. BALL, Private Secretary. The members last night also adopted a new set of by-laws, which will be sent to the National Rifle Association for approval.

April 3.—Man ager James Jackson, formerly of the Philadelphia Athletics, but now man ager of the Elmira State League team, has received from President Baker three of the Phillies' most promising recruits. It was announced some time ago that the advent of Jackson meant that the Elmira team was to be the recruiting station for the Philadelphia Nationals where promising youngsters would be given a thorough tryout, and this transfer is taken as corroboration of the statement. The men turned over are: Car michael. a pitcher of unusual ability; Pitcher Lutz and Rathcamp, a catcher and outfielder. . Rathcamp has been playing both in the infield and outfield for the Phillies in the South, and al though Carmichael displaved a high o-der of ability in the spring train ing, it was found impossible to keep him because of the abundance of pitching talent now at Pat Moran's disposal. It is expected, however, that he will be recalled before fall. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH •• Mrs. William Gould, who before her marriage was Miss Ethel Blanche Sanders, of New York.

This tuneful and merry musical success conies here di rect from half a year at the Liberty Theater, New York, and a prosperous run at the Forrest Theater, Philadel phia, with tne entire New York com pany and production precisely as pre sented at the Liberty Theater. "Have a Heart" is the joint creation of Guy Bolton, P. G. Wodehouse and Jerome Kern, that highl - successful trio who have had no less than three Broadway successes running at one and the same time this season. The music play is in two acts and three scenes, the tirst set ting being the lingerie display room of a modern department store, an ex terior view of that establishment and an interior scene in the Ocean View Hotel at Blueport, Rhode Island. On the Majestic's bill, the first half of the week, is an old favorite. He is Hugh Blaney, the well- Hugh Blnney known singer of popu at Majestic lar songs, who became such a tavorite with lo cal vaudeville devotees-last season. Mr. Blaney has a repertoire of new songs which he sings in his usually delight ful manner. The. feature on the bill is Tom Brown'j Seven Minstrel Boys, who have a line-up of tuneful and catchy songs, breezy comedy, to say nothing of some clever eccentric dancing. Hounding out the bill are: The Ver nons. in a comedy ventriloquial fiovel ty; Stone and Hayes, offering a rube character act, and Ed Farrell and Com pany. presenting a farce comedy en titled Suspicious of Hubby." Vivian Martin portrays the character of Julie Devenant, the neglected daugh ter of a Parisian "The Wax Model" dancer, who tires •t Resent To-day of the life she leads, commits sui cide, and with her last breath tells Julie not to tru\t men.

She meets a man who seems "different," and falls in love with him and he in love with her. He comes to her flat one night Just as she, on a dare, takes a sip of wine and lights a cigaret. He refuses to listen to explanations. True love finds a way to soothe all dif ferences of true lovers in a very inter esting manner.

A powerful story of a young Irish girl, who lovad too well, is the latest Metro play, "Bridges Mot. ptiva Burned," with Mme. at the Colonial Petrova in the lead ing role, that is showing at the Colonial Theater for the last times to-day. Strong in dra niatiq situations, with a delightful love theme, and a powerful moral, "Bridges Burned" is a play that will appeal to all, and will not easily be. forgotten. "Villa of the Movies," a screaming two reel Keystone comedy, with Slim Dum merville in the leading role. Is the add ed attraction.
