Captain Huston Is

Averages to D ate
Steadil.v advancing each week
until he now occupies fourth place
in the Central Pennsylvania Scholas
tic basketball league. Captain Hus
ton of the Tech basketball team,
now bids fair to be a strong conten
der for first honors before the close
of the season.
Huston has made wonderful pro
gress during the last several weeks,
and reached the climax of his chieve
ments during the last two games
at Reading uiml AUentown when he
tallied a total of 50 points. At Al
lentown he made a high record of
32 tallies for the game, which is a
high mark for the league. With
the season half over, there is still
abundant opportunity for him to
reach the top.
For the third successive week.
Captain Nyquist, of Reading, and
Gingerich, of York, changed places
in the standing. These two lads
have been alternating at second and
third place, and at present only a
fraction of a point separates them.
Tliroo Players Tie
A singular coincidence in the
averages Is the fact that three
players—Hoston, Tech: Coleman,
Steelton, and Wolfe, Lebanon, have
each scored 107 points. Huston has
the advantage in the fact that he
has played in one game less than I

FLOWER GARDEN
PLAN TIME NOW
State College Man Gives Some
Interesting Thoughts For
People at This Time
This is the time of year when;
all flower enthusiasts should be ex
amining seed catalogs and making
out their orders for 1918. It is 1
rightly expected that a portion of
large and elaborate' annual beds
should be devoted to the growing;
of vegetables but a small section,!
at least, should be given over to the'
culture of flowers.
Suggestions at this time will per-1
haps help the novice to select a few
exctllent garden varieties of annuals
for picking.
All seed should be purchased dur
ing February, so that the grower
can seed such varieties as Verbenas,
Snapdragon, Salvia, Petunias, Vinca
Minor, Lobelia, etc., on March first.
Most seed germinates readily and
most successfully at a*temperature
of sixty degrees, says E. 1. AVilde,
instructor in horticulture at the
Pennsylvania State College.
Sow seed in shallow flats in a
finely sifted soil composed of one
third loam, one-third leaf mold, and
one-third sand. Transplant the
seedlings in other flats in a little
richer soil two inches apart when
the iirst pair of true leaves appears.
April first should find Asters,
Marigolds, Cosmos, Larkspur, Can
dytuft, Zinnias, Centaurea Cyanus,
Pot Marigolds, Salpiglossis, Balsam,
Phlox Drummondi, Stocks, etc.,
seeded in flats and Sweet Peas out of
doors.
Growers unable to start plants in-j
doors, can safely plant the follow
ing out of doors if the ground is
dry.
Scabious, Brachycome, Gypsophila
eiegans. Sweet Sultan, Clarkia, Port
ulaca, Calendula, Chrysanthemum,
Love in the Midst, Eschscholtzia,
Cosmos, etc.
After all danger of frost has pass
ed all annual seeds may be planted
out of doors, but Centaurea Cyanus,
Mignonette, Candytufts, Lupines,
Poppies, Sweet Alyssum, and Godetla
are best seeded in the open. Gener
ally all of our seeCs should he In
the seedbed by the first of June, j
HOLD ANNUAL MASS
FOR BISHOP SHANAHAN
The second annual mass for the
late Bishop Shanahan was held to
day at 9 o'clock in St. Patrick's
Cathedral with the Rt. Rev. Philip j
11. McDevitt, bishop of the Harris
burg diocese of the Catholic Church,'
officiating. Mgr. M. M. Ilassett, of 1
Shamokin, assisted. Other officers
of the mass were: Fathers Murphy
and Huegel, deacons of honor;
Father Carey, deacon of the mass;
Father Dai ley assistant deacon; and
Father O'Flynn, master of cere
monies.
TAX TIME EXTENDED
H. A. Vollmer, deputy internal
revenue tax collector, has received
word that the time for tiling the in
come tax returns has been extended
until April 1. The date originally
fixed was March 1. Nevertheless, Mr.
Vollmer to-day urged that all income
returns be tiled without delay and
is at the ofHee on the second floor
of the Spooner building every day,
udvising those who need help In
I'lling out tho blanks. '
their floor work by the smaller court
of the Hassetts. ,
Harrisburg in its scholastic and
independent teams has developed as
good athletes in the cage game as
can be found in the country, and
everyone admits that a series con
ducted on a real sportsrftanship basis
between the local teams would be
far more interesting than games be
tween outside teams.
Contrast In Records.
A striking contrast exists between
the records of the Bassets and In
dependents. The former have play
ed almost exclusively a college sche
dule for fhe past two years, and
hence favor the Collegiate style of
game, while the Independents have
clashed with the best teams in the
professional line in the country, and
have made a record that is a credit
to the city. Hence a series between
the two would represent the best to
be found in the great indoor game.
PENROSE POINTS
WAYTOHAMONY
Says National Chairman Elec
tion Should Interest Every
one in the State
In an interview given at Washing
ton yesterday, Senator Boies Penrose
says that he looks for better party
conditions and harmony within the
Republican par*y in Pennsylania as
a result of the elceiion of Will 11.
Hays to the chairmanship of the Re
publican National Committee. Fur
thermore. tie declared yesterday the
action of tho meeting at St. Ijouis
would be ."helpful" in Pennsylvania
in view of the forthcoming state
elections.
"I say this," said the Senator,
"with the thought in mind that the
selection of Hays was particularly
satisfactory to the Progressives of
Pennsylvania, which clement of the
party was for some .-eason or other
strongly opposed to Mr. A.lains.'*
Senator Penrose .ascribed th<j with
drawal of Adams <.o the fart that
he "was a candidate, but nobody
knew it."
"Mr. Adams was a candidal \" t-a'd
the Senator, "without any one paying
any particular attention to the mat
ter. In fact, he was th; only can
didate in the Ileld. Mr. Hays did not
solicit votes, he declined to go to
St. Louis and In no way sought tho
place. A considerable sentiment de
veloped against Adams, which grew
steadily in intensity.
"It appeared the Progressive wins
of the party was offended by the
suggestion of Adams' name. There
was strong sentiment in favor cf
Hays, and this sentiment developed
rapidly. As it continued to grow
strong, supporters of Mr. Adams urg
ed him to withdraw in favor of Mr.
Hays.
"Of course, the < .l.nivnanshlp cf
the committee is not an office which
any man should seek, but rather the
office should pre-emlnentiv seek the
man. Every one in St. Louis felt
the importance of party .larinony,
and it was this desire which ulti
mately brought about tho election of
Hays. Moreover, he was represented
to be a wonderful ocilitical organis
er, and he had the pres'ig'j of hav
ing been chairman of the Indiana
State Committee In the notable con
test which brought Indiana back into
the Republican column with tho elec
tion of a Republican Governor and
two United States Senators. Some
ilttlri acrimony developed hi tho
early stages of the meeting, but this
rapidly disappeared, and at the close
I believe every one felt the best
thing had been done aiul entire har
mony prevailed. X believe iho elec
tion of Hays will harmonize the par
ty throughout Pennsylvania and ilso
throughout the country."
Senator Penrose will remain in
Washington all week. He said he
would not discuss the gubernatorial
tight in Pennsylvania. "Every one is
waiting for Sproul to announce his
candidacy," he said.
MANY ENLIST IN ARMY
Although recruiting officers are
not allowed to enlist registered men,
recruiting for tho Regular Army goes
on at the rate of twenty enlistments
a day in the Harrisburg recruiting
district. Since February 1, 1917, a
total of 13,897 men has been enlist
ed by the local recruiting party.
LOW SCORES FOR
A. B. C. BOWLERS
Local Men Surprise Field of
Outsiders at Cin
cinnati
Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 19.—Small
scores were the rule at the eight
eenth annual tournament of the
American Bowling Congress here
yesterday. Harris and AValker, both
local men, went into first place in
the doubles on the first afternoon
shift, with a score of 1,175. This
supplanted IlofCel and Gelsting, also
local men, by one pin. On the last
shift of doubles Krnstschwender and
Mecklenburg rolled into third place,
thereby ousting the Cleveland pair,
Wismer and Tomaseli, who had won
third place honors temporarily but
an hour before.
In the singles no change occurred
among the leaders as the result of
the bowling yesterday, except that
E. Schmelng, of Cincinnati, ro'.led
601 and went into third position. R.
Michaelson with 628 and A. Hilton
with 620 are the leaders in this
event.
The bowling quality of the flve
men teaiqs appearing n the alleys is
considered by experts to be better
than any of the teams that have
thus far appeared, and good scores
are anticipated. No out-of-town
bowlers are scheduled to appear on
tile alleys until Tuesday, when the
Neuberth Colts, of Newark, N. J., and
the Cabanne five, of St. Louis, roll.
"Sport" Feeney's Champs, of Cov
ington, Ky., have the high score in
the five-men team event, with 2.659
pins, while Hofteld and Geisting, of
Cincinnati, hold first place in the
doubles with a score of 1,174. The
leader In the singles class is It.
Michaelson, Cincinnati, with a total
of C2B pins.

Jack Deal Ready to Quit;
Blue Ridge Star Last Year
The Lancaster Journal has the
following to say about Jack Deal a
former Harrisburg player:
"According to reports, Jack Deal
is seriously thinking of giving up
baseball and devoting all his time
to his business interests in this city.
If Jack really quits the game, one of
the best-known ball players in this
neck of the wood will have passed
into obscurity. Jack made a tre
mendous hit while a member of the
Lancaster team of the Tri-State
League quite a few seasons back.
He also captained the nine and
played on the only Lancaster team
that ever brought a Tri-State pen
nant to this city. This was the year
Marty Hoghn piloted the team, and
they cleaned up with little trouble.
'Snake' played in the Blue Ridge
League last year until that organiza
tion disbanded, and then he .quit for
the remainder of the summer. Deal
has had offers from local semi-pro
fessional teams during the past sev
eral seasons to play, but has turned
them all down in favor of the Ridge
way berth." ♦

This Young Cub Pitcher
Is Hot One But Modest
Chicago, Feb. 19. Harry A.
Weaver, a recruit pitcher of the
Chicago Cubs, feels that he is need
ed to pitch the Cubs to a National
League pennant, and that therefore
he should not be asked to go to war.
Weaver, according to word receiv
ed here, asked tho draft board at
Warren, Pennsylvania, to exempt
him because the Cubs have a chance
to win the pennant and need every
available man. The draft board re
fused to consider Weaver's plea.
Three World's Records

9 w CORNER,
Friends of Gilbert Elmer the Tech
footbyll and basketball star, and all
around athlete, were much pleased
to see him out yesterday. He was
given a glad hand by his fellow
students and received many con
gratulations on his recovery. Ebner
has been confined to his home for
sometime. His work on the foot
ball team was a big factor in Tech's
record. He is of that caliber that
figures in successful high school ac
tivities.
It was announced after the track
meet in Boston Saturday night
that "Pat" French, of the navy,
formerly at the University of
Maine, equaled the world's record
of 6 2-5 seconds in the sixty-yard
dash. The mark is held by several
athletes. The last man to be cred
ited with it was Joe Loomis, at
Ne<v York, in 1916.
If Tech tossers continue their
present pace. Central Pennsylvania
scholastic honors are certain for the
Maroons. Coach C. W. Miller says
Tech was not outplayed at Reading.
That is sufficient. The dispatch
from Reading did not tell the true
story. Judging by the work of the
Maroons at home in order to out
play Tcch, a team must go some.
Central High meets Reading here
this 'week. The game will be play
ed Friday night. Some real cage
sport may be expected.
Jimmy Clntiby is the latest of top

the call to the colors. But Jimmy
Time Is Not Far Off
For Teams to Go South
One month more and.all the major
league clubs will be at their training
camps in the South starting to get
into shape for the summer baseball
campaign. They have ceased worry
ing about lack of railroad transpor
tation and curtailment of expenses,
because the spirit of optimism has
triumphed' among the club owners,
and after the baseball meetings here
last week the baseball people are pos
itive that the major league seasons
will go through according to schedule.
The various training camps of the
National and American League clubs
will lie located as follows:
National League Giants at Mar
lin, Tex.; Philadelphia at St. Peters
burg, Fla.: Boston at Miami, Fla.;
Chicago at Pasadena, Cal.: St. Louis
at San Antonio. Tex.: Pittsburgh at
Jacksonville, Fla.: Cincinnati at Mont
gomery, Ala., and Brooklyn at Hot
Springs. Ark.
American League Yankees at
Macon, (3a.: Chicago nt Mineral Wells.
Tex.; Detroit at Waxahachie, Tex.;
Boston at Hot Springs. Ark.: St.
Louis at Slireveport. La.; Washing
ton at Augusta, Cia.; Philadelphia at
Jacksonville, Fla.. and Cleveland at
New Orleans, La.
The spring schedules of many of the
major league clubs include cities near
the many training camps in the South,
and the soldiers will have a chance to
see nearly all of the clubs play before
they come North for the opening of
the championship season.
Army of Boy Deadheads
Attended Cardinal Games
According: to Branch Rickey, o[
the Cardinals, 37,000 boys were ad
mitted to championship games play
ed on the home grounds of the Car
dinals last season. It had been
planned still further to increase the
membership this season.
The boys occupied seats in the 50-
cent covered stand and for each ad
mission over a certain number—
equivalent to the average pass list
at other parks—a charge of 12
cent lor each boy was paid to visit
ing clubs.
On a basis of last year's attend
ance of "knot-holers," plus the five
cent war tax, the Cardinal idea
would cost the club more than $5,-
000 this year.

will do his fighting under the Aus
tralian flag. Jimmy has been in
Australia for several years, and has
been very successful m the ring. A
couple of months ago he won the
Australian heavyweight champion
ship by beating Albert Lloyd. Then
he knocked out the next contender
in line, Fred McKay, in twelve
rounds. Clabby has enlisted in the
Sportsman's Thousand at Melbourne,
and by this time may be on his way
to European battle grounds.
Harrisburg shooters who cut some
figure in the big shoot at Kansas
City will be home to-day. There
will be some interesting sessions for
local sportsmen.
Baseball in Reading must have
died hard. Here is what W. T.
Ooyle of the Reading News-Times
says: "Reading people are pulling
for Farrell to keep his league to
gether next summer. Fans here
would like to see a team in this city
again, although local capital must
be invested if the town wants a
berth in the circuit. Reading can
not be blamed for the failure of last
year's team to draw in this city.
Things looked rosy at the beginning
of the season, but the trouble start
ed when the Harrisburg team began
skidding. The league officials make
the mistake of playing the Capital
City team here too often. The offi
cials 'Harrisburged' the fans to
deatik and they cannot be blamed for
becoming disgusted and deserting
the team." How strange, Harris
burg fans blamed it all on too much
Reading and Farrell.
