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.

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.
