Recreation Club Tosscrs De
veloped Into One of the Best
Fives in This Section
During the season just past the
Galahad Recreation Club basketball
Jive has developed into one of the best
teams in this section. It was a mem
ber of the City Amateur League and
tarried oil second honors. Although
the Rosewoods carried off first honors
in the race the Galahad five defeated
the champions in two out of three
sanies and put up a hard battle in the
third.
The Galahad five defeated some of
the best teams in this section during
the past season, holding victories over
Carlisle Indians, To car to Club of Car
lisle, Hershey Men's Club, McSherrys
town, and Marietta, of the Lancaster
County League. The Galahads won
seventeen out of twenty-seven games
played and scored a total of 853 points
to their opponents 700. The average
number of points per game was 31.59
to their opponents 25.92.
Good Playing .Manager
Robert Storey was manager of the
team and besides arranging a strong
schedule he played in every contest
and his guarding was one of the bright
spots of the Galahads play. Gebhard,
a forward also made a good impres
sion on basketball fans and critics in
this section and is considered one of
the best in these parts. The individual

He Comes From Mack Camp;
Local Leader Works Early

Baseball prospects for Harrisburg
this season look brighter every day.
Manager George Cockill is much pleas-
Ed with the enthusiasm, and is work
ing early and late to get his plans in
shape In order to permit him to re
main at Lewisburg during the train
ing season. He was scheduled for sev
eral conferences to-day and expected

Carl Morris Wins on Foul;
Refree Bill Brown Calls
Bout Off in Fifth Round
New York, April s.—Carl Morris, of
Oklahoma, was awarded the decision
over Fred Fulton, of Minnesota, in the
fifth round of a bout here last night,
after Referee Bill Brown had announc
ed Fulton struck Morris a foul blow,
sending him helpless to the floor. Mor
ris had to be assisted to his corner and
was in great pain, the crowd jeering
Fulton for his foul tactics.
Morris made quite a hit with the fans
last night on account of the vast im
provement that he showed in his box
ing. Instead of swinging wildly, which
was the case when he appeared In this
city on former occasions, the Oklahoma
engineer seemed more accurate wiii
his punches, with the result that he
was having the better of the milling
when Fulton connected with a hard
right way below the waist line, which
laid Morris low.
The first round, which was even, pro
duced some of the best milling wit
nessed between heavyweights for some
time. Morris, who kept boring in, pes

who took several hard punches without
hardly connecting with a return. The
second round went to Morris by a large
margin, while the third was also Mor
ris', the first and fourth rounds being
even. Fulton did not seem to get prop
erly started, due to the aggressive tac
tics of ills opponent, who forced the
tight at every opportunity. It was an

Fulton scaled the beam at 220%.

(Copyright, 1917, The Tribune Ass'n.)
The well-known State of Georgia may not be us thickly populated as several
other commonwealths, but it would be hard to land upon a locality which has
produced as many interesting varieties of athletes as the Red Clay dominion
wedged in between Alabama and the Atlantic Ocean.
Almost everywhere one may light one hits upon a famous character, either
from the present era or from other days. And these are in no way confined to
one sport. They embrace almost every variety now grown in Uncle Sam's
domain.
leading Lights
It would be useless to mention Ty Cobb first. Ty and Georgia are insepar
able links. He is Georgia's First Citizen, and Georgia isn't any fonder of Ty
than Ty is of Georgia—which happens to be 100 per cent, each way.
But Ty isn't the only ballplayer Georgia has set adrift upon the major
leagues. Just above Atlanta the furrow is still extant where Nap Rucker once
ran his plough. And just below Atlanta Red Smith and Sherrod Smith have
their homes. Further south one runs across the vine-clad cottage of Jimmy
Lavender, the Montezuman Marvel, while Frank Schulte's peach orchard is a
thing of beauty and a joy for at least two months each summer.
And this list hasn't yet made mention of George Stallings, still known as
the Miracle Man of the Mandarins of play—the one man who came nearer
achieving the impossible, or who achieved what was closer to the impossible,
than any other man when he lugged a ball club from last place in July to first
place in September, and then beat a mighty machine four straight world series
games.
In Other Lines
Atlanta still boasts two famous entries in sport. One is Bobby Walthour,
who has ridden and won more bicycle races than any other rider now living.
Bobbjf was a messenger boy in Atlanta over twenty years ago, and yet he Is
still up around the front. He began his racing career in Georgia's capital,
and has a line residence in that city when he finds time to alight and take a
meal at home.
Bobby made a big part of his reputation in Berlin, but it is rumored that
he will not ride in that city this season.
Another famous Bobby is Bobby Jones, the kid phenom at golf, who at
the age of fourteen was the sensation of a national championship, and who
has since proced to be one of the great golf/rs of America. Bobby is now
playing fine golf around Atlanta courses, and at fifteen is given by many
experts a fine chance to win a championship within the next two years.
Another golfing star among the champions is Miss Alexa Stirling, who at
eighteen has won the woman's golf championship and is undoubtedly the finest
woman golfer in America. And to these might be added Perry Adair, who
at fourteen was runner-up in a Southern championship.
In Football
1 Atlanta, in a football way, calls attention to Coach J. W. Heisman, the old
Pennsylvania end from 1891, who is one of the greatest football instructors in
the history of sport. Seven, years before the forward pass was even discussed,
Heisman advocated its adoption, only to be laughed at.
He has been coaching the Georgia Tech team for twelve years, and no later
than last season turned out a championship array. He has a fine eleven
primed for next season, with one of the best backtields in the country, the line
up including Joe Guyon, the Carlisle star, who is now a student at Tech.
This list is only a partial one. But you will find that it covers famous char
acters in baseball, football, golf, bicycle racing and other lines.
A State that can boast of Ty Cobb, Bobby Jones, Alexa Stirling and Bobby
Walthour already is far beyond the average.
SYRACUSE STARTS WORK ON
• BASEBALL
To Increase Capacity; War Won't Affect New York State
League Baseball, Says Manager O'Neill
Syracuse, April 5. Signs of spring
were in evidence at Star Park when
a force of workmen employed, in
vaded the sacred precincts of the Na
tional pastime and began to remove
the debris of winter.
Work of putting the park in shape
will consume most of the time be
tween now and the season's inaugual.
When the workmen have removed all
the debris, a force of carpenters will
be set to work to increase the capa
city of the park and to reinforce the
present grandstand and bleachers.
After Bill Martin
Mike O'Neill believes there is a
chance to bring Bill Martin, last year's
shortstop, back to Star Park. Martin
is slated to play with Bridgeport,
Conn., in the Kastern League this sea
son, but it is believed he prefers to
play in Syracuse. If such Is true.
Martin would succeed Evans at the
hot corner.
Martin proved a better batsman
than Evans last year, hitting .256 as
compared with Evan's .249. Evans,
PRINCETON DROPS ROWING
Princeton, N. J., April 5. Such a

Hardly a sufficient number of varsity

thorities have not disbanded any of
the athletic teams as yet, but Dean

at second base, finished with a better
fielding average, '54 against Martin's
.933 at shortstop. Evan's experience
makes him the more desirable athlete,
but if? he would rather devote all his
time to business, Martin might be the
next best bet.
Going Ahead Despite War
"War or no war, we have got to
make arrangements to accommodate
the fans," Owner Kubin said to-day.
"There are no indications that a dec
laration of war will preclude State
league baseball this year, and we
don't expect any. However, we will
go ahead and put the park in good
shape and take our chances."
The advance guard of the Stars will
begin to arrive at Florence, N. J., a
week from to-day. Manager O'Neill
hopes to have all his men signed by
that time and enough players in camp
to begin the training season with two
full teams in the field. O'Neill is still
on the lookout for two good pitchers,
an outfielder and a third baseman, in
case he finds that Martin will not be
1 available.
that time the trip will be abandoned.
Trevor Hogg, a varsity oarsman and
captain of last fall's football team, left
college a week ago to enter training

Berlin Hears Rumor?
of New Peace Offers
Are Not Based on Fact
By Associated Press
Amsterdam, via London, April 5.
A Berlin dispatch to the Koelnische
Zeitung says that t he rumors of a
new peace offer by the central pow
ers which have arisen following the
meeting of Emperor William and Em
peror Charles and Count Czernln's
statement, are incorrect. The dispatch
says, however, that the principle, re
peatedly officially stated, of the readi
ness of the central powers to enter ne
gotiations for "an honorable peace" is
unchanged.
"Regarding the preliminaries for
these negotiations," says the paper,
"nobody need be in doubt that they
cannot be altered by events in Amer
ica. We are in possession and await
calmly developments in the enemy
camp."

It looks like a poor year for college

Yale authorities have posted notices
that all athletic activities shall cease

Manager Mike O'Neill, of Syracuse,

Cockill regarding baseball and war.
He does not see any reason for stop
ping the minor league games. The
only thing that will stop the game, ac

manager, is for the baseba.ll players to
