Ins High CO to 28. During the tirst
half and the first part of the second
I eriod the game was close. With bc
ween ten and fifteen 'minutes to play
I'rank and Fields started the rally

The whole Central team played a
ivonderful game and worked better
han at any time this season. Cen
;ral scored more than twice as many
from the field than Reading.
I'lie offensive work of the team was
i big feature. The Central defense
vas working fine and the majority
>f Reading's points were made on
ong shots.
Guards 'llohl Xyquist
Central guards held Xyquist and
■?autnencr to seven goals while they
nade six. Very few of the Reading
:oals were made on signal plays be
•ause of the, watchfulness of the
'entral guards. They forced the
■leading players to shoot from the
enter of the floor and in this way
\ppt the score down to minimum.
Wright played an excellent game
ind caged two field goals. Goodiel
howed real form by his speedy floor
>ork and the caging of six baskets,
'rank established a record for a
ligh score and boosted his standing
s high point-winner in the league,
le made nine two-pointers and four
een out of seventeen fouls. Frank
mtplayed any man on the floor and
proved the biggest star of the game. I
Wolfe Is Big Factor
Captain "Volfe played a highly I
fommendable game at guard. Ben
>roke up play after play and pro
ured two baskets himself. Near the
lose of the game he caught his arm
m one of the hooks that hold the
letting in place and tore the flesh so
jadly that he was forced to leave
he game. His place was ably filled
>y Rodgers, who played a fine game
luring the few remaining minutes
if play. Field was another star. He
leld the mucli heralded Xyquist to
hree goals, at the same time get
ing four himself.
If Central can keep up the
lie race will be between Central and
Pech. Central has threq games to
•lay away from home and three at

BILLY MADDEN,
PROMOTER, DIES
Once Was Manager For John
L. Sullivan; Veteran
Ring Leader
New York, Feb. 23.—8i11y Madden,
at one time manager of John L Sul
livan and of other noted pugilists, is
dead. Madden succumbed to an at
tack of acute indigestion at the
White Plains Hospital Thursday
night.
Madden was 65 years old, having
been born in Marylebone, England,
December 10, 1852. His parents
j brought him to America when he
was still an infant. He took up bare
knuckle fighting at an early age
and achieved considerable skill, but
I it was not until he began to manage
boxers that lie became well known.
It was Madden who discovered and
developed John L Sullivan. He pi
loted the "Boston Strong Boy" into
the championship and he held the
reins for some time afterward. He
I also managed Charley Mitchell, Jake
Kilrain, Jack Dempsey, Jack Mc-
AulifTe, Peter Maher and Tommy
Ryan. Gus Ruhlin, known as the
"Akron Giant," was another one of
Madden's discoveries. It was through
Madden's shrewd coaching that Ruh
lin managed to obtain a draw with
Jim Jeffries at the end of twenty
hard fought rounds.
Had Quit Ring Game
Madden did not take a very active
part in the ring game during late
years, although he managed A 1
Benedict one of the big fellows, who
appeared during the htfttt for a
white hope to take the measure of
Jack Johnson. Madden was strictly
a follower of the old school of pugil
ism and he did not think much of
the boxers of to-day.
Madden always coached his fighters
to avoid clinching and to rely upon
blocking, countering or footwork to
avoid punishment. He was one of
the men who helped draw up the
Marquis of Queensberry rules and he
was disgusted by the way the modern
boxers violated the code as laid down ,
by him.
Of late years Madden had lived on |
a small farm at Cairo, which he pur- l
chased with his savings. He conr i
ducted the place as a health resort
and managed to get along fairly
well. The recent death of John L.
Sullivan was a great shock to the
oldtime ring follower and made him
realize that his own end was near.
Bankers Told to Put
Shoulder to Wheel For
the Period of the War
"Banks must put more of their re- j
sources in Government securities and :
stop investing in outside securities,"
was the sharp message brought to
Harrisburg at the anual meeting yes
terday of Group 5, Pennsylvania !
Bankers' Association, held in Masonic !
Temple, by Joseph Wayne, Jr., presl- j
dent of the Girard National Bank, of j
Philadelphia. As the burdens of war!
increase he thought it likely that j
banks would have to limit their cus
tomers' borrowing. The third Liberty J
Loan, he said, would fall •mostly on
the banks, and if they could not place i
all allotted to them in their various
localities they would have to carry.j
the balance themselves. In England, .
he pointed out, the banks have put l
from 25 to 60 per cent, of their total (
resources in Government securities. I
Group 5 includes the hanks in
Adams. Cumberland, Dauphin, Frank
lin, Fulton. Juniata, Lancaster. Leba
non. Mifflin. Perry and York coun
ties. William Jennings was re-elected
chairman, and R. H. Passmore, of
Chambersburg, secretary and treas
urer. ....
C. J. Hepburn, counsel for the Na
tional Food Administration, spoke of
the need for food saving, giving a
vivid picture of the starvation in Eu
rope, and T A. Daly, well-known
newspaper paragrapher, of Philadel
phia, mingled with his lighter talk
some serious criticism of this district,
which has thus far been very laggard
in disposing of the thrift securities.

| wants men and that they can enter
I either by special induction for Fort
Ogelthorpe or by Individual induc
tion, which involves a longer proce
dure and a request for a man from a
commanding officer, for another
point. There are now four branches
whereby men can enter service by
! special induction. The Rtate filled i

At a meeting of the board of di
rectors of the Central Pennsylvania
Poultry Association the board was
crganized as follows: E. B. Mitchell, i
Jr., president; S. W. Brightbill, vice-j
president; Isaac Stees, secretary, and
P. Edgar Hess, treasurer.
The directors voted to co-operate !
with the Pennsylvania War Poultry
Commission in the drive for more
poultry. The president pointed out
the necessity of raising more poultry
to make up for the shortage in the
meat -si'pply. In order to save meat
for shipment abroad to tho Boldlers,
the Food Administration has urged
that people eat more poultry. The
result is that many farmers . and
poultrymen have killed off their hens
to supply this demand and Pennsyl
vania faces this year an estimated
shortage of a million hens.
Meat can be produced in the form
of poultry more quickly than any
other way, and It is the patriotic
duty, it was pointed out. of everyone
who is able to do so to raise a few
chickens on the farm or in the back
yard.

proper care of them. In the mean

PENN RUNS AWAY
FROM FTHACANS
Quakers Have Strong Hold
on Intercollegiate Hon
ors; Game Tonight
Philadelphia. Feb. 23.—Pennsyl
vania's basketball leaders by out
classing, outplaying and outgeneral
ing Cornell in thirty of the forty
minutes' play last night at Weight
man Hall and winning by a score of
2 7 to 12 captured their sixth straight
Intercollegiate League game and
virtually made sure of their second
consecutive Intercollegiate title. The,
only chance Cornell now has of nos
ing out Penn is to win all its four
remaining games on the Schedule,
three of which are at home, and
for Penn to lose three of Its four
games, three of which are away
from home. This would give the
thacans the title by a game, but
the chances are so remote that most
of Ih? Penn students following the
victory last night were proclaim
ing the Red and Blue the cham
pions of the 1917-18 season.
Princeton a Factor
Princeton Is the team Penn must
respect more than Cornell. The Tigers
have five games to play, three at
home and two away, and as the
Bengals nre strong in every depart
ment tnoy loom lip more dangerously
to the Red and Blue than Cornell,
which has twice been downed by
Penn this season.
In only ten minutes of the ftirty
did Cornell hold its own with Penn.'
This was five minutes after the first
half opened. Penn had secured an
early start on Davis' goal after get
ting a pass from Martin and had a
6-3 lead before Cornell came to life.
The Ithacans then braced, crawled
to C-5 when Kendall scored the vis
itors' first goal by batting the ball
in, after following up a shot, and
until near the end of the half the
Cornell squad kept Penn moving.
Penn, however, kept Cornell from
getting too close when Peck scored
his first field toss and the half ended
12-7 in the favor. The
second half was a rout for the North
ern New York State goal-gctters.

w CORNER
Shooters who wero here yesterday
for the big state event will long re
member it. To begin with it was cold
on the fingers, and the blinding snow
interfered with the shooters. How
ever, it was a dandy shoot and scores
were satisfactory.
War even put a crimp in the trap
per boy squad who have been prom
inent in the big shoots held in Har
risburg. Boys are doing their bit in
various ways and the veteran trap
pers were unable to help out yester
day. Xew boys proved expensive as
they allowed a number of birds to get
away.
E. W. Shank, president of the
Jlarrisburg Sportsmen's Association,
was on hand yesterday and he start
ed the big field in the shooting. He
wanted to get through early as he
was a very busy man until the close
of the big match. He proved his
worth in many ways.
While it is not decided definitely,
local shooters may use the fields at
West Fairview and Xew Cumberland
for future shoots, until such a time
when the Harrisburg Sportsmen will
be able to secure new grounds. War
will prevent early action in getting
a new home. It is said that plans are
Weight Lifting Feat
By Tourney Pin Boys;
Handle Many Tons
The greatest weight-lifting con
test of the year soon will be, with
little John Q. Pin Boy starring as
the modern Hercules supported by
A. Bowler and Mrs. A. Bowler.
It's the eighteenth annual tour
nament of the American Bowling
Congress now on at Cincinnati.
Just a shade under 9,029 tons in
dead weight will be lifted by the pin
boys.
Hera is how a Washington Herald
sport writer figures:
The women who will bowl in the
Woman's National Turney will lift
388,800 pounds in bowling balls.
The men who will bowl in the
A. B. C. roll-off will handle 8,027,-
424 pounds in bowling balls.
The poor pin boys will not only
have to handle all of this weight
in bowling balls, but also will have
to lift 9,643,590 pounds in pins.
In arriving at these figures this |
course was pursued:
How They Ho It
Anaverage of 18 balls to a game
was allowed each man and woman
bowler. As the balls weigh 16
pounds, each bowler will lift an
average of 298 pounds in bowling
balls each game. It takes three
games to complete an event, so
each bowler who rolls in the team
match wtll lift an aggregate weight
of 864 pounds in the event alone.
While he is doing this the pin
boy, figuring on an average of elev
en frames to the game, will lift

Weeghman Issues Final
Orders to All Holdouts
Chicago, Feb. 23.—Charles H. j
Weeghman, president of the Chicago j
Nationals, last night served notice on
players regarded as holdouts that
unless they came to terms before
the departure of the club for the
spring training camp at Pasadena,
Cal., early next minth, they would
be obliged to seek other employment.
"I shall not be bothered with
holdouts this season," AVeeghman
said. "We did not make any big
cuts in salaries despite the war. The
majors cannot afford to pay enor
mous salaries and the players should
be made to understand the situation
confronting the club owners."

date clubhouse and field not far from
the city.
Tarsus tossers are anxious to bo
included in the city championship
series. The Harrisburg Independent*
have not given any encouragement
along this line. The season is too far
gone to take up plans which will give
each of the four teams an opportu
nity to play a championship sched
ule. This is the excuse given. The
Hassetts, Rosewoods and Tarsus
might start a series. There would be
a whole lot of interest in the con
tests.
Jimmy Butwell, one of the best
known jockels 011 the turf, was
placed in class 1 by his exemption
board yesterday. He will probably
be one of the first men called from
his district.
