NATIONAL LEAGUE HEADS TAKE UP WAR TAX PROBLEM—TECH FRESHMEN READY
TECH FRESHMEN
ELECT CAPTAIN
Charles Ellis Will Head Bas
ketball Team in Inter-
Class Series
Members of the Technical High
echool freshman basketball lnterclass
team met last evening and elected
Charles Ellis captain for the season.
It was announced that the first con
test would be with the Juniors as a
preliminary game to the Tech-Allen
town contest, on the evening of Jan
uary 25.
The first year boys have over a
score of candidates trying out for
positions, and most of the players
have had experience on the various
grammar school teams prior to en
tering Tech. Later In the week a
class meeting will be held at which
a manager will be elected to arrange
lor contests throughout the city and
vicinity in addition to the interclass
contests. The winners of the four
olass series will be permitted to wear
their class numerals.
How Teams Look
Captain Ellis will play at center.
Other candidates for that position
are Jack Menger, Garrett and J.
Derrick. Tlie forwards include, Ger
ald Linnekin, Leland Holtry, Carlton
Gardner, Harry Weidman, William
JJiener, Walter McCahan, Edward
Emanuel, Richard Hamme Harry
Connor and Jack Meek. Candidates
l'or the guard position are Williarti
Taylor, Gilbert Mattson, Len Wene
j ick, Edgar Meloy, Samuel Sherman,
John Roth and Meyer Gross.
The Tech varsity team is without
a contest for this wee*k and efforts by
Manager Beard to land a contest
liave failed The game for January
18, originally scheduled with the
Academy team has been hanged to a
later date, so that the Maroon var
sity is without a game until January
23, when Tech goes to Lebanon for
a return match.
Altoona and Huntingdon have of
fered Tech contests for later in the
season, and several of the Maroon
open dates will likely be arranged
with quintets from the western part
of the state.
Ty Cobb Is Anxious to
Join United States Marines
Detroit, Mich., Jan. B.—Corporal
J. J. Clarke, formerly "Nig" Clarke,
catcher for the Cleveland American
League Club, in a letter to a Detroit
friend, says that Cobb is thinking
seriously of getting into harness
with the United States marines.
Clarke spent a day with Tyrus last
week and wrote as follows: "You
know that boy (Ty) is just itching to
get into harness with a gun and a
bayonet heese knife (sword) and
jjet iu liie Germans. You now Ty
will light anything living from a hu
man down to a sack of wild oats
and I know his disposition so well,
from playing against him so long,
that I'll make a bet he will be in
this thing and for fighting—no of
ficer job at headquarters. He'll be
in it and mark me, into it to knock
hell out of the German that looks
cross-eyed at him."
Cobb is just under 31 years old
and would not let family affairs keep
him out, Clarke added.
GOLDEN CIRCLE: TO DINE
The Golden Circle Bible Class, of
Trindle Springs Sunday school, have
completed plans for a chicken and
waffle supper, Thursday, January 11.
The proceeds wil go to the Red Cross

palatable menu.
Pay your money and—
take your choice
Do you want to get a smoke for

MANAGER "BILLY" MEHRING
RE A DY TO ST A
FIRST SHOW IN TWO WEEKS
Manager "Billy" Mehring, of the
Keystone Sport Club, Is planning for
a big boxing bill before the close of
the month. He filled out his ques
tionnaire yesterday and says he is
ready for Uncle Sam whenever the
call conies.
Manager Mehring has taken out a
license for his shows, and expected to
have a conference to-day with Mayor
Daniel L ICeister. He is awaiting
letters from Philadelphia before mak
ing public his first bill, but says it is
his Intention to give Harrisburg fight
fans the best that can be had.
Manager Mehring is of the opinion
that Pennsylvania ought to have a
boxing bill. He said:
"New York will return to the sport
with a new bill this year. If there
were laws governing the boxing
game, promoters would not fall down
in giving patrons the real kind of
sport. We pay out good money, but
get bumped frequently.
"I am going to do the best I know
bow to secure good fighters, and will
also do my part in advocating a box-
ing bill that will meet every require
ment."
A dispatch from Scranton says:
New lloxinK Bill a
"John McVarlsh, of this city, who,
drew up the Catlin boxing bill which'
was passed in both branches of the
last Legislature and then vetoed by
Governor Uru'nbaugn. announced that
another, and possibly two similar
measures, will be introduced when
the State Legislature reconvenes.
"Mr. McVarlsh believes that the
House and Senate will adopt the box
ing bill without any trouble and he
also thinks the chances favor It being
signed by Governor Brumbaugh.
"When the latter vetoed the Catlin
bill he gave as his reason that he
didn't see why the state should go on
record as sponsoring the sport, but
now that the Government has given
its O. K. to the game by making it
a part of the soldier's life at the vari
ous army cantonments, he is of the
opinion that Governor Brumbaugh
will agree to confirm the measure.
Similar to I.ant Hill
"The bill to be introduced will be
modeled along the Catliir act. It will
call for ten-round bouts and will
specify that the state commission will
consist of three men and a secretary.
The same rules dealing with halls,
size of gloves, etc., as were included
in the old law will be written into
the new measure.
The percentage to be given the
prevailed in New York during the
last year of the Frawley law. Mr.
McVarlsh Is now at work on the
boxing law and will soon confer with
sorre of the legislative leaders."
Pretty Etching Has

tobacconist at Third and Walnut
streets, whose brother Rush, is one
of the officials of the Big Four

With streakings of the morning

WAR CUTS INTO
YANKEE TRUNKS;
LESS WARDROBE
New York, Jan. B.—AnUclpating
all sorts of trouble in the transpor
tation of baseball players and their
baggage during the coming spring
trip, Secretary Harry Sparrow, of tlje
Yankees, has worked out a scheme
whereby the players will havei to be
their own baggage, smashers. The
Yankees' secretary has arranged to
get ft steel suit case for each player,
and he will have to carry his own
baggage with him.
Last season, when the Yanks and.
Boston Braves toured the South,
they carried 110 pieces of baggage,
and it required two or threo officials
to look after this end of the trip
alone, for baseball players are Just
<^jporilioii

THE CHAMPIONS
The player often crabs a bit
The day he doesn't get a hit, *
Or when the umpire taps his roll
For twenty "bones" or so;
The player has a festive way ,
Of crabbing on by night and day
No matter what the angle is
Or where the break may go.
BUT—
When it comes to crabbing, with the accent on the C,
When it comes to panning, with the acent on the P.
I'll kick in with the Army when a cold wave drifts along,
Where everything that was or is or ever will be's wrong.
J. Evers had a spicy rep.
At crabbing with eclat and pep,
Or eke the mighty Zim at times
Responds with all his share;
And Jawn McGraw has often shown
A peevishness of voice or tone,
When certain umpires bagged his goat v
And sent him out for air.
BUT—
When it comes to crabbing in the good old fashioned way;, v
When it comes to knocking with the accent on the Iv,
My bet is on the Army when the gales begin to blow
And a fellow has to slush around in rain and wind and snow.
. THE CAMOUFLAGE CHAMPION
When it conies to the camouflage championship it is just as well to re
member that the American Indian was no bush-leaguer at this game.
He bedecked himself in a smear of gaudy war paint and -feathers, but
for all that he had a way of blending his contour sufficiently to defy any
but the keenest eye.
We should say, however, that the camouflage champion of all time was
the Southern quail. Any man who has ever walked up to the edge of a
covey, pointed by the dogs, who has stood within two feet of twenty or
twenty-five birds, who has known almost exactly where they were to the
inch and has then been unable to see them, can understand best to what
an art the camouflage game or Industry can be carried.
A quail has the knack of blending himself so perfectly that nothing
short of a Lick telescope could ever pick him out.
Down in the tropical countries a parrot, with all his green and red
coloring, is also perfectly camouflaged, far better than any point expert
could ever hope to achieve.
THE AMERICAN VS. THE HUN
The average American soldier one talks to may not understand, in de
tail. Tor just what ideals of necessities this war is all about, but he has a
pretty clear, sane idea of the fighting part of it. He doesn't underrate the
Hun !n the slightest. He is willing to give him credit, via the box score
up to date, for being a corking good fighter.
But. on the other hand, he can't see any of this superman stuff. lie
has seen too many supposedly Invincible champions on this side of the
watr beaten or dropped for the count. He has seen too many aupermanlo
chaaipiona knocked out, too many supermanic baseball eiubs overthrown,
to figure any entry as an unbeaten entity, once the correct punch is applied
This is the oorrect viewpoint—to go in with a deep respect for an op
ponent. but with nothing bordering on discouragement or fear
"Vcu'U also find the average American soldier, officer and man also un
derstands well enough his own limitations as they stand now—in lack of
preparation and training. But you'll find he is willing to mak.i up this
deficit by the hardest sort of work, an amount of work that has astonishel
Canadians, English and French officers starred around at the different
cantonments.
And hard work, after all, has a knack of getting there ultimately if the
proper materials are added to work with.
THE NEW RECORD HOLDERS
There was a day when we figured the number of alibis compiled by ball
players or golfers established a record figure.
Nothing to it, compared to the number and variety of excuses pre
sented by enlisted men in order to obtain a five days' leave. To get an
answer figure up all the excuses a normal brain can devise, multiply it by
fifty, and you will then be only one-thousandth of the way correct.
For when a fellow wants to get away for a few days he feels the call so
hard that no set limit can suppress his imagination.

WILLARD KEEPS
IN GOOD FORM
Is Not Carrying More Than
Ten Pounds of Sur
plus Flesh
New York, Jan. 8. —Contrary to
general belief, Jess Willard, .he
world's heavyweight champion, does
not weigh a ton.
Since Jess came out with his an
nouncement a short time ago that
he would defend his title for the
benefit of the Red Cross or sooie
other wartime organization, it has
developed that Willard has been ear
ning no more than fifteen or twenty
pounds of surplus avoirdupois, and
that he would have little trouble
getting into shape so far as the
weight is concerned.
At the time of his offer to meet
any man for the title several promi
nent followers or boxing in Chicago
were surprised beyond measure to
see Willard appear in gym costume,
apparently carrying no more than
live or ten pounds excess baggage.
They could scarcely believe their
eyes.
Willard explained at the time
that he has not permitted himself
to grow fat and flabby. He says he
has taken enough exercise to keep
his weight down to a point where it
is within easy reach anv time he is
called upon to train for a cham
pionship battle, and with this fact
in view the boxing fans are enter
taining a hunch that the big cowboy
is still capable of taking care of his
own.
Willard may not be as good now
as he was when he met Jack John
son at Havana, say some of the
boxing bugs, and in the same breath
they remark that none of the pres
ent contenders for the heavyweight
skypiece are as capable in the ring
win ,gr ne sro was when he met
Willard. And this goes with a lot
of them, regardless of the fact that
Johnson was supposed to have been
all in when he met the present

Britain's Peace Terms
May Smoke Kaiser Out
Washington, D. C., Jan. B.—New
moves on the part of the German
1 government are expected to follow
quickly upon the heels of the Bri.ish
declaration of peace terms uttered by
Premier Lloyd-George to-day. While
the Premier's terms rest upon the
fundamental condition that Germany
must approach the peace conference
penitently and in willingness to make
reparation and consequently are
fundamentally out of accord with
tho principles upon which alj of the
previous Berlin declarations have
rested, it is the consensus here that
a period of more direct avowals is
impending in which the Kaiser will
reveal a different spirit.
The uncovering of this substan
tially new attitude to the Increasing
pressure being exerted upon the gov
ernment by economic forces from
v, ithin. It is atributable in large
measure to the implication of the
President's last address to Congress
that unless Germany did yield to
reasonable and fair peace demanjs,
she would face continued economic
pressure after the war. That would
mean terrific hardships for commer
cial Germany regardless of the terri
torial expansion she might be able
to procure through the terms of
peace. The President's implication,
it is believed, is but a plain state
ment of a fact of which the Ger
man authorities already were con
vinced. The Germans are repre
sented as being convinced already
that as soon as the American nation
becomes involved In major military
operations on the western front,
producing the losses of tens and
probably hundreds of thousands of
men, she would face the enmity of
the American people after the war
regardless of what terms were ef
fected for ending It.

With the approach of the third

mlck, chairman of the Liberty ~,oan
Committee, that many persons have
been trying to buy Liberty Loan
Bonds as low as S4O, and that a num
ber of these have in this manner
fallen into the hands of shrewd spec
ulators. "Holders of these bonds
should only dispose of them through
the government channels or local
hanks," Informed Mr. McCormlck
"The prices quoted for obtaining these
bonds from mold owners, S4O to (49
are absurd, and every one should be
discouraged from Belling government
bonds at anything but market price."

NATIONAL HEADS
TO HOLD MEETING
Discuss War Tax With Other
Business; Commission
Meets Today
Cincinnati, Jan. B.—Trades and then
more trades were discussed by the
score of baseball magnates in town
to attend the National Commission
meeting here to-day, but no trades
resulted from the discussions insofar
as close observation could tell to
night.
Branch Rickey, of the St. Louis Na
tionals, announced that Roger Horns
by is not for sale and will not be
sold. "Once and for all time, and this
is final, Rogers Hornsby will not be
sold or traded to any club in North
America. Neither Weeghman nor
McGraw can get him, no matter what
they offer," said Rickey. But despite
this, it was rumored that Weeghman
and Rickey haa agreed o na price
for Hornsby, and that the only thing
which blocked the deal was as to the
players the Cubs would throw in.
Committee on War Tax
At an informal meeting of the Na
tional League members the subjeet of
war taxes proved to be the most in
teresting topic. Previous to the meet
ing President Tener had appointed a
committee consisting of Secretary
John Heydler, of the league; John
Foster, of the New York club, and
Walter Ilapgood, of the Boston club,
to consult with Government officials
relative to the payment of war taxes
on passes to baseball games. At the
i meeting this committee was empow
ered to widen the scope and to in
clude the entire war tax problem as
it will concern baseball.
For the sake of convenience, the
National League originally desired to
charge 10 cents war tax for passes.
Inasmuch as a pass is rated as a 75-*
cent seat, the Government officials
refused to agree to accept more than
10 per cent, ot this amount. It was
definitely agreed that onlyy 10 per
cent, of each ticket sold, as well as
each given, would be charged
for war tlx, but the committee was
instructed to consult the Government
oflicials and then map out the best
possible system to collect this tax
without inconvenience to the public.
To Settle Wltli Fed*
The old Federal League peace
agreement likewise came up at the
meeting of the National League mem
bers. A representative of the Fed
eral League was present for the pur
pose, according to President Tener,
"*.>f seeing if the matter could not be
forwarded." President Tener stated
that inasmuch as the meeting was
entirely informal, no action was
taken, but it was stated, unofficially
but reliably, that the Federal League
will be paid shortly and finis written
Insofar as the National League is
concerned.
Owing to the absence of President
Johnson, of the American League,
who wired that he was snowbound in
Chicago and could not reach here un
til to-morrow morning, the annual
meeting of the Commission was post
poned until the American League
leader could be present.
Baseball Games on Ice
Interest Fans in Ohio
Sandusky, Ohio, Jan. B.—Baseball
on ice is claiming the attention of
fans in the Lake Erie Island region.
Teams have been organized on Put-
In Bay, North and Middle Bass and
Kelleys Islands. A league race for
a pennant will be run If weather
conditions permit.
Baseball is played on ice as It Is
on land, except that the players
wear skates and the ball is of olld
rubber. The ball fairly sails through
the air When the batsmen connect
and the fielder Is compelled to skate
ii long distance before he recovers
As the runner is forced to halt
until he touches each base, the
handicap that otherwise would be
against the fielder is overcome. Five
Innings constitute a game and the
scores usually run Into the thirties.
