a and Other Events
Real live boxing matches and not
the kind that are frequently seen at
the present day boxing shows, featured
the athletic tournament held last
night under the auspices of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Motive Power Athle
tic Association. The event was staged
in tho new gymnasium In Seventh
street and was attended by more than
£ 00 members of the association. Wrest
ling, tug-of-war, volleyball and bas
ketball were other numbers on the pro
gram.
The tournament opened with two
four-round boxing bouts and there was 1
not a second of stalling in either. I
Neither bout went the limit. C. G. j
Sollers, who was the promoter, match- i
ed Montgomery, of Enola and Koche- j
nour, the latter a blacksmith in the;
Harrisburg shops. Both men went at j
each other with a vengeance and the j
bout was about even until the third,
round, when Montgomery, shifted into |
high and the big blacksmith found I
himself lying on the floor outside the
ropes.. 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. Both lads
showed all they had and although j
Gerdes had a shade on Lehmer in |
speed the hitter's strength told in the j
end. In the second round Lehmer i
found his way to Gerdes' jaw with aj
hefty right jab and the latter hit the j
floor. He was so dazed when he got:
to his feet that the bout was stopped.!
Two wrestling bouts followed and;
both were of real championship call- j
ber. In the tirst bout N. E. Jones, an |
experienced wrestler threw Herbert j
Hupp, a local apprentice boy in seven;
minutes and fifteen seconds.
Jones appeared in the second bout!
with Merle Lehmer, and w'os ;
the best of the two. Tb.iJront was fori
the best out of three f <fsT. Jones took
the tirst and third falls and Lehmer
, the second. Jones won the first in:
seven minutes and fifteen seconds,
while the second went to Lehmer in!
nine minutes and sixteen seconds. The i
last fall was a hard struggle, Jones
winning out in six minutes and forty
seconds.
In the tug-of-war between the
Boiler Shop and the Enginehouse No. 1
2 teams the former carried off the!
honors after a bitter struggle. The
tirst trial was won bv three Inches and
the second by one-quarter of an inch, i
both trials were of three minutes dura- j
tion. The teams line-up as follows: j
"Boiler shop, Weaver, Hoffman. Ben
nett and Devine anchor man; Engine
house No. 2. Workman, Murphy, j
Bartch. Fellows and Hemperley, an
chor man.
The Harrisburg Shop volleyball
team lost to the Enola Shop team by;
the narrow margin of 15 to 13 and 15
to 14. The teams lined up as follows:
Enola: Waltz. Woodward, C. Shelly,
iiissner. Rockey and Sebourn: Harris- j
burg: Fellows, Knoble, Rupp, Kulp,
Boyles and Diehl. Referee, Stull.
The program was brought to a con- !
Elusion with a basketball game be
tween the Harrisburg Shop five and

ing the victor by the score of 15 to;
10. The first half ended, after a bit-i

RIFLE CLUB TO
GIVE SERVICES
Reply From Governor Martin
G. 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.

Elmira Signs Up Rookies;
Phils Help Out Colonials
Binghamton, N. Y.. 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.
