Miller, of Tech High, held another practice last evening at the Chestnut street auditorium, for the next contest with Lebanon the latter part of the month. Several mlxups in dates have caused the Maroon squad to be short of games during the month of January, but Manager Beard is hustling around In an endeavor to book several ad ditional attractions. The contests for the five places Is still keen and the coach has not been able as yet to decide upon one regular lineup. The material on hand this season is better than ever and Tech has bright prospects for land ing the Central Penn honors. At a meeting of the freshmen class of the Technical High school, held yesterday, Leonard Wenerick, Sec tion 8, was elected manager of the first year team, and will arrange a schedule of contests with teams In the city and vicinity.

Jan. 9. Umpire Charley Rigler, of the National League, spends his winters in this j city, and thereby hangs a tale. As is well known "Rig" is a second San <low when it comes to hefty stuff and he can whip his weight in wildcats. ! If the baseball cranks could have Keen him early the other morning . when he got warmed up after rob bers had entered his house they would ■ • again call him a name fror' Mm bleachers. Two burglars overpowered Mrs. | l{i-der, who answered the doorbell, ; and were forcing their way into the flat when Mr. Rig er was aroused by his wife's screams. The first wal lop "Rig" landed knocked one bur glar though the front door, rendered him unconscious and dislocated his shoulder. The second bandit fled, closely pursued by "Rig," undaunted by the zero weather, despite only pink pajamas swathed his sylphlike form. After a chase of nine blocks Rigler caught his prey, knocked him "cold" and carried him to the near est hospital. Coveleski Gets Another Chance With Jennings Shamokin, Pa., Jan. 9.—Harry Coveleskie, former Phillie hurler, and who as such eirned the soubri quet of "Giant Killer," by pitching the New York Giants out of a pen nant, and for two years past a mem ber of the Detroit Americans, is to be given another trial by liughey Jennings, this spring.

Makers WEDNESDAY EVENING, JIM THORPE TO BE HEAVYWEIGHT; REAL FIGHTER New York, Jan. 9.—Jim Thorpe, the Carlisle Indian, world's track cham pion and baseball player, may enter the boxing ring. The announcement? is made that he is through with base ball. For some time he has been un- der consideration as a probable new heavyweight champion. It is the general belief that Thorpe would make an ideal heavyweight and he has had many offers to take up boxing professionally. Thorpe's reputation in other lines of athletic endeavor would undoubtedly enable him to make good money from the start, but Jim does not believe he is cut out for a fighter. Those who have seen thia wonder ful athlete on the gridiron and who have witnessed his feats of strength and agility in other lines believe that Thorpe could clean up most of the light-heavyweights at least. Jim is Many Games For Sox; to Tour Army Camps Chicago, Jan. 9.—Charles A. I Comiskey, president of the world s championship Chicago Americans. ! said that he plans to have his club ! play as many exhibition games as | Boston at Army training camps next t spring. Games will be played with soldier teams at Camp McArthur, Waco, Tex.; Camp Logan, Houston, Tex., and Camp Grant, Rockford, 111., ac cording to tentative arrangements. Comiskey also announced that sol diers and sailors would be admitted free to White Sox Park oi special days set aside for them next season. not "slioulderbound" and he is surely fast. D Not L,ike Fiwl>tlK Thorpe's own explanation' of h aversion of professional lighting is t combination of several reasons, om\ of which is that he doesn't like the' game. "Personal combat is a thing I try to avoid," said Jinx two or three years ago. "I might lose my head and go too far if I was hurt. And then I don't believe my wrists would stand that kind of work. I would be afraid of breaking them if I ever hit a solid object with all my strength." Thorpe has a big hand and a finely muscled arm, but his wrists are much, thinner than those of the average fighter or wrestler. Big Jim could undoubtedly hand out many knockouts, but the quality of his resistance to punishment would depend on the vulnerability of his j^w.

RE-ELECT AUGUST NATIONAL COMA DISLUSS MINOR MATTERS Cincinnati, *O., Jan. 9.—August Herrmann was re-elected chairman and John E. Bruce was re-elected secretary of the National Baseball Commission at the annual meeting of the commission here. Owing to the fact that only minor matters were to be considered by the comis 'sion, the interest centered in a num ber of deals that were being at tempted by various big league clubs. Early in the day, a rumor from a l jvell-authenficated source had Brooklyn giving Zack Wheat and Jutshaw for Pitcher A 1 Mamaux, of Pittsburgh, and a cash considera tion. The rumor gained credence owing to the large number of pri AMUSEMENTS FIELD MINSTRELS ARE FAVORITES Entertainers Often Interrupt ed by Applause; Patriotic Numbers Popular Favorites with Harrisburg theater goers need never worry about the re ception they will receive. Al. G. Field's Greater Minstrels, with one of the best programs ever prepared for that organization of popular enter tainers, were grceaed last night by a crowded house, and frequently, dur ing some of their song and comedy tainers, wero greeted last night by a plause. The patriotic and military effects on the program also met with the hearty approval of the audience.. The minstrels aro to bo congratu lated on the effective and realistic pa triotic opening and close of the enter tainment. The first scene is a tlag ralsing, followed by old war songs by the uniformed and minstrel chorus with orchestra accompaniment. The first part of the musical offerings in clude a number of excellent songs, among them. "Just As Your Mother Was." "Somewhere in France Is the Lily," and "Stars of Love," the last two by Charles Reinhart; "Good-By, Little Girl, Good-By," Jack Richards, and two fine comedy songs, "If You Don't Like My Poaches, Don't Shake My Tree." by Lasses White, and "Somebody Done Me Wrong," by Billy Beard. Both comedy numbers were nnjoyed so much by the audience that Waif a dozen encores were called. The solo and chorus songs are followed by quartet numbers by Charles Rein hart. Jack Richards, William Church and Harry Frillman. The second part of the program starts with a lively comic sketch, "After the Battle," followed by a Christmas entertainment, "Santa Claus At Home." This is an odd holi day addition to the program that is very enjoyable, because of some of the fine dance numbers. Billy Beard takes a leading part with some new and old Jokes, all of them so cleverly told that he was generously applauded and recalled.

No mention of any money has been made, so it is not known if any thing in the nature of a cash con sideration figured in the deal. Doyle is not new to New. York territory, as he played on the Giants for a number of years, and was some time ago traded to the Chicago Cubs. Recently the Cubs transferred him to tho Braves, and now he is sent back to his old stamping ground. Barnes is a very promising young right-handed pitcher, and has been with the Braves for the past couple of seasons. Doyle and Catcher Wilson were traded a few days ago to Boston for Pitcher Tyler. Herzog's Unique Record Herzog has the unique record of featuring in five trades by Manager McGraw. He has served three dif ferent engagements with the Giants, will serve his second engagement with Boston and has managed the Cincinnati Reds. Herzog declares he is glad to go back to Boston. Herzog came to New York in 1908 and in 1910 was traded to Boston with Outfielder Collins for Outfielder Becker. In 1911 Herzog was traded back to the Giants for Infielder Brldwell and Catcher Gowdy. In 1913 Herzcg went to the Reds in exchange for Catcher Hart ley and Outfielder Bescher. In 1916 Herzog came back to the Giants, Mc- Graw sending Mathewson, Roush and McKenzie to Cincinnati, while Doyle and two young players were traded to Chicago for Heinle Zim merman. Doyle now succeeds the man who succeeded him. Doyle came to New in 1907 and was traded In 1916 to the Cubs. keeping with the pace with which the performance opens. "Santa Claud at Home," which in augurates the olio, is a fantasy which successfully combines tho widest pos sible varieties of entertainment, and wins the entire audience, children, women and, men. The monolog by Billy Beard, "The Party From the South," keeps the audience in con stant laughter with its extromcly in dividual, though natural and sympa thetic interpretation of negro humor. The Harmony Boy Saxophonists, led by OUie Dillworth, dominates a musi cal act which Is unlike any other. The conclusion, "In Honolulu, or Doing Your Bit," unites in a most skillful manner operatic qualities with bur lesque fun, and comes to a finish in magnificent patriotic tableaux, which picture the triumph of an American man-of-war over a U-boat, and the I unfurling of an American flag as an emblem of tho "Freedom of the Seas" and "World Democracy." The Al. G. Field Greater Minstrels will be at tho Orpheum to-night for the last time. Getting to be as famous as Mary's Lamb is "Mary's Ankle," the clever end amusing farce comedy "Ma ry'it by May Tully, which A. 11.

An actual Mary | Jane Smith appears as the young , man's patient, and learns of her part | in the plan. It would not be fair to ! divulge the complications that ensue. ; One situation follows another in rapid succession, and the whole is embroid- j ered with some of tho funniest dia log heard on tho metropolitan stage in many months.

To c'ay. theatergoers have not only the opportunity to enjoy one of the best films ever exhibited here, but of as sisting at the same time, the cause uppermost in the minds of all patri otic citizens. Fairbanks interprets the role of Ned Thacker, f-f Kansas, who inherit ed the spirit of D'Artagnan through parental Influence, his mother having been an ardent reader of Dumas. The self-reliance of the modern woman, as compared with her sister in past generations, is strikingly shown, for in many cases the chivalry of the modern D'Artagnan is mistaken, and his gallant attempts to assist ladies in distress lead to rebukes from the independent maidens who are on the alert to squelch flirtatious pests.
