HASSETT PLAYS ROSEWOOD TONIGHT—NEW DUCKPIN LEAGUE READY TO START'
YORKTOSSERS
EASY VICTIMS
Independents Trim Codorus
Cage Stars by Big
Margin
The Harrisburg Independents had
little trouble in defeating the York
Professionals at the Chestnut street
auditorium in the holiday game last
evening by a score of 53 to 31. The
game was one-sided, the locals hold
ing the lead during the greater part
of the game.
York was unable to break up the
locals' passing and shooting and as
the result many good plays were reg
istered. From the first whistle until
the last the York team did not look
like a winner. The Independents
displayed more ability at passing and
shooting than at any other time this
season.
McCord Big Star
"Ike" McCord played the best
game for the locals, making several
long and hair-raising shots from the
field. The entire local team did
creditable playing and the showing
last night was improved over that in
previous games. The lineup and
summary:
Independents. York.

Manager Stallings Has
Offers For Catcher Gowdy
Philadelphia. Jan. 2. —One cannot
accuse some big league clubowners
of not having the nerve. Right now
a number of magnates are seeking
the services of Hank Gowdy, star
backstop of* the Braves, and are re
ported to have made George Stallings
very attractive offers for the sorrel
top marksman.
At present Gowdy is in France, a
sergeant in the Ohio National Guard.
There was nothing conditional about
the Gowdy offer. It was a clean prop
osition, without any clause which
would abrogate the transaction in the
event Hank was unable to join the
new owners. It was a gamble, but
the other fellows were willing to
take the chance. When Gowdy re
turns he is certain to be a greater
hero than before, and as a result of
h(3 increased popularity he will prove
to be a greater drawing card.

ball battles of the season will be
staged to-night at Cathedral hall
floor. Hassett will play the Rose
wood A. A. team. The game starts
at 8.15 and will be followed with a
big holiday dance program. Due to
the fact that Hassett is a contender
for local championship this season,
the game to-night is of vital im
portance.
Gerties to Play
Both teams have been practicing
hard for this game and are going
into the fight to win. The Hassett
five will be strengthened by the ad- |
dition of Merle Gerdes. who has re- j
covered from an accident and will i
be back in the game to-night.
Just what lineup either team will j

the Rosewoods will use the same 1
lineup as when they plaved the In- i
dependents. How the Hassett five !
will line up has not yet been decided i
by Manager Dowling.

According to President John K.,

on the diamond. For years past many |
National League games have been :
marked by ungentlemanly actions of i
players. President Tener early last j

Gowdy and Killifer. He called the
men before him and exacted promises !
from them that thy would behave j

During Year

est of all champions.
Early in the year, in January, to
be exact, William Chase Temple,
donor of the Temple Cup and for
mer president of the Pittsburgh ball

and Eddie Dolieny, who used to pitch
for the Giants and Pirates, also died
in January.

and fairness. Joe Lindley, former
world champion bike rider, T. H.
Struckney, former president of the
Louisville National League club, An

pion of America and England, died
at Portland, Ore.
Dr. James Dwight, veteran tennis
player and formerly president of
the United States Lawn Tennis As-
I sociatlon, died in July. A 1 Palzer,
j the heavyweight boxer, was shot and
| killed by his father the same month,
i A. C. Buckenberger, formerly man
ager of the Pittsburgh club and lat
( er its president, also died in July.
William A. ("Toney") James, vef-
I eran baseball catcher, took the long
1 trail in August, and Cy Alberts, an
! other veteran of minor league fame,
i died the same month. Knap Mc
| Carthy, a veteran racing driver, ans
wered the call in September.
October and November saw twelve
football players pass along as a re
sult of injuries received on the grid
iron. Bob Fitzsimmons was counted
out for the last time in a Chicago
hospital on October 22 and Willie
Lucas, a lightweight boxer, also died

' strength and merit can be seen at the
Majestic the early part of
At the the present week. Valentine
Mnjerttic Vox, well known to local
theatergoers, is providing
a popular number on the bill with his
offering entitled "At the
("Tub." Mr. Vox is a master enter
tainer and never for a moment does
the audlenco experience a dull mo
ment during the presentation of his
act. Other acts on the bill are: Dun
bar's "Mississippi Misses," an aggre
gation of talented performers, in an
attractive revue of picture dances;
Val and lirnie Stanton, In a very good
comedy variety turn; Statzer and
Scott, presenting a lively burned cork
offering, and Arthur and Grace Terry,
in a pleasing novelty act.
Catherine Crawford's "Fashion Re

days of the week. Surrounding this

surprise offering; Dougherty and
Scalia, in !h comedy song and patter
skit; Arthur Pickcn and Company,
presenting an amusing comedy play
let, entitled "Their Wedding Day,"
and the Van Brothers, in comedy,
songs and nonsense.
It is said Norma Talmadge was
never more appealing than in her
newest Selznick
Norma Talmudne picture, "The Secret
at the Colonial of the Storm Coun
try," which is being
shown for the last time to-night at
the "Colonial Theater. As the moun
tain girl, sweet and innocent. Miss
Talmadge endows the role with grace
and charm, making it stand out well.
Some wonderful outdoor scenes have
been photographed for this picture,
which furnish attractive backgrounds
for the action of the piece. A strong
cast of players has been selected for
this production.
To-morrow and Friday a screen

9 W CORNER.
Plenty of excitement Is assured to
night when Rosewood tackles the
Hassett five. The latter will be at
home, but the Hill ahamplons do
not worry over a trifle and have been
making better rocords on strange
floors. The players aro all local boys
and rivalry is strong.
The York Independents were out
classed by the local Ave last night
and are anxious to meet other Har
rlsburg teams. They will probably
have an opportunity to play both the
Hassett live and Rosewood champs.
In either case the results will be the
same as last night. There is nothing
in York that can beat a Harrisburg
basketball team of the caliber of the
Independents, Hassett or Rosewood.
The Ben Hur cage aggregation of
Steelton, a bunch of fast young stars,
will get going to-night. They play the
St. Joseph team of Lancaster. Win
ning a victory will put the Ben Hur
