ton and Central will get Into action
twice.
Central, the big surprise of last
week, will take the trip through the
Lehigh Valley when they meet Read
ing, Friday, and Allentown Satur
day, on foreign courts. Just when
the other teams of the circuit were
counting Central down and out, tjie
Blue and Gray bobbed up and trim
med York at that place, and laced
Reading on the home court. The
two victories put Central In seoond
place, and places them again In the
running for championship honors.
Rig Week For Steclton
Steelton will have a full/week be
cause of lt,s game WedneAay night
t Folton Hall with the "Sork crew.
O.iptain Coleman's tossers should be
able to win on the home floor, since

Steelton will play the return game
with Tech at Chestnut street floor.
The other game will be at York Fri
day night, when Lebanon opposes
Captain McLaughlin's Ave. Lebanon

A pleasing feature of the race is
the fact that the two local High
CENTRAL GIRLS
WIN FAST GAME
Defeat Cliambersburg Co-!
Eds; Varsity Five to Meet
Reading on Friday
In one of the hardest games of!,
their season. Central's fair co-eds i
lost to the I'enn Hall five Saturday i
afternoon at Chambersburg by a J
score of 27-10. The girls played an |
unusually fast game, but were unable'
to outclass the I'enn Hall bunch, i
Emanuel made several brilliant field I
goals for Central and Watts played
center with remarkable pep. Maurer, I
captain, held up her position as for- !
ward and captured several goals. \
The whole team did splendid floor!
work. Bertram Saul, faculty sports I
adviser, attended the game with the!
girls.
l*lay Rrndins
Central will go to Reading on Fri
day to hand them another defeat
such as was given to them last Fri
day here. Basketball fans were very
much surprised the way Central
walked all over Reading, as it was
thought that they were a much
stronger team. Their playing was
below par that evening. Because ot
their recent defeat and the added 1
confidence of their own floor. Read
ing will bo a much tougher proposi
tion this week than they were last
veek. Coach Wallower knows
what to expect and will pat his men
through stiff scrimmages Monday
: nd Wednesday.- The scrubs will be]
on duty to give the first team a good
chance to try out new plays. Cen
tral is now second In the league and
will make every effort to tie with j
Tech. *
It is rumored that the first Tech-
Central gamo will come off March
lirst at Chestnut Street Hall. It will
be one of the greatest attractions
for local games of this season. The
teams are evenly matched, so there
is no danger of a complete walkaway
on either side.

likely that they will ba ousted from
their plnces this week, su that when
the two aggregations meet Friday
night, March 8, they will have local
honors to decide In uddltlon to flrst

The reason for the standing of the

perusal of the scoring records. Cen

"BOB"DUNKLE
DENIES CHARGES
Explains Why Game Was
Canceled With Big Five
Team of Camp Hill
Coach "Bob" Dunkle In a letter
to the Sporting Editor of the liar
rlsburg Telegraph Riven reasons why
the Hume between tho Camp Hill
varsity team and Camp Hill Five
WR canceled. The coach claims
that the school management as well
a* the players were accused unjust
ly by some of the Rig Five players.
The letter follows:
"In answer to the untrue talo
which was published In a morning
paper Thursday morning, wo feel
that perhaps a little explanation
would help straighten out matters
with our Interested friends.
"Does the public realise first of all
the tremendous task ahetid of tho
Camp Hill High School Association
and coach. The school has just live
or six boys who are larse and old
enough to play varsity basketball,
while wo do not have that many
with Which to make a scrub team.
Can you Imagine trying to make two
basketball teamp out of between
nino and twelve men? And yet \ve
did It. We have given tho fans at
home Bome good games, and always
fair. Furthermore we've been thrown
out of practice at least four or five
weeks through want of coal, not
having enough to play our scheduled
games In a warm room. .Consequent
ly, we canceled.
"Now we come along near the
end of our season with all our big
games at home, were feeling pretty
| confident when Old Man Sickness
comes along and gets Into our
ranks. Our center had been sick
for the last three weeks, and our
star forward is home now with an
injured hip, liot to say anything of
t our guard who nearly had blood
| poisoning in an injured arm.
Are Not Complaining
"Now, dear sporting friends, we're
not complaining. We merely wish
to explain to you our condition and
reason for canceling with the Big
Five of Camp Hill. The Big Five
is made up mostly of college men,
whom it would have been hard
enough to beat with our team in
prime condition, and you can im
agine the result with our team load
ed with scrubs. Anyway, the game
is not a regular scheduled game,
but one that was arranged by the
Big Five through the kindness of
the coach- after a long argument.
Where is tho coach who won't try
to take care of the condition of the
team, and where is the coach who
when he feels that a game is un
equal that won't use his influence to
have the game annulled.
"Does the writer of the article in
question realize that the people of
! Camp Hill know he has been roast
ing his own town team off and on
all season.
"Don't ho realize that they know
he published untruths in his write
up of Thursday morning. At that
time, according to the Big Five
statement, they have not had a prac
tice together all season. They do
not have any games arranged and
do not have a coach. To us It looks
as though friend reporter was a poor
sport, and was assuming an awfully
lot, when he said we were afraid
of being beaten. We leave you be
judges." '

If Morun, In hln awkward, wido

overhand right—tho "Mary Ann"
—Fulton's stock aa a titular con
tender will take a decided drop,
while the Pittsburgher wilt lund
again on tho pinnacle of L prontlge
that waa his before his disastrous
mooting with AVlllard in Madison
Squuro Garden.
! Tho general boxing public Is ln
i dined to tho belief that Fulton, with
his superior clovorness, will score a
victory. It is genorally concoded that
Moran's only cliauce lies In his nbll.

leading prominence, will be engag

defeating tho Chicagoan, will gain
recognition as a heavyweight con
tender and the probability is that

should the latter win over Moran.
Ted (Kid) Lewis, of England,

Cleveland, Ohio, Feb. 2 s.—That
peace between the National Base
ball Federation and the National
Amateur Baseball Association, which
have been separated for three years,
may bo a reality before the 1918

May Form New Baseball
League in Coal Regions
Mount Carmel, Pa., Feb. 25. —A
movement has been started among
baseball enthusiasts of this place,
Shamokin, Ashland, Pottsville and
several other coal region towns to
establish a Pennsylvania Anthracite
League of. baseball teams and a
meeting of the interested fans is to
be held within the next two weeks.
With the collieries and ftll other
industries working full time, the
fans believe tho time is opportune
to revive interest in baseball, dead
from a league standpoint in the coal
regions for the past several years.
In fact, there has been no league
baseball since the days of the At
lantic League. Several of the towns
have parks available for Sunday
games, and It is believed that with
semiprofessional teams In the field
keen interest can be aroused. Potts
ville, Shamokin, Mount Carmel,
Mnhanoy City, Tamaqua, Ashland
and possibly Centralia and Girard
vllle will be represented at the first
meeting.

This is regarded as one of the
best of all war poems which have
been written and we start with it be
cause "smokes" is one of the best
comforters of the trencnes. Wouldnlt
you like to see the excitement on
days when the smokes are passed
out, the smokes which kind Amer
icans have contributed without any
idea of reward? One chap com
pares this occasion to a world's ser
ies ball game. "I will tell you how
the lads line up for tobacco," he
writes. "You have probably seen a
world series ball game and know
something of the mad rush. Well,
it is the same over here when we
line up for American tobacco. Say,
it's a wonder they don't get a mov
ing picture of this. Pretty rough,
I say, but I guess no one is ever
hurt.
"There's two things everybody is
agreed on in this camp and you cap't
get any argument on it. We all say
that America is the home ot the
most beautiful women and the best
tobacco." A sergeant in the field
artillery has Sent a semipoetic ef
fusion to the persons who happened
to supply him and he draws a sad
picture indeed to "tobftccoless" day*
in trenches. There should be none
of these. To the Sammie tobacco is
a friend in need, and you should
be the friend, indeed. As the sons
of the flag advance, do your share
by sending a contribiUion to the
Telegraph fund. Every 25 cents
buys smokes to the value of 45
cents.

New Justice of Peace
Builds R Courthouse
Lancaster, Pa.. Feb. 25.—Probably
the most pretentious office of a jus
tice of the peace in Pennsylvania is
that of Frank MclSrann, who has just
conducted his lirst case as magistrate
of Manheim township. McGrann is a
very wealthy farmer and poultryman
and devoted much of his time, to
helping t!ir authorities run down
criminals. For several years he had
a station for the state police on his
premises. He is president of tho
Lancaster County Humane Society
and has rounded up scores of per
sons on cruelty charges.
A year ago McGrann was chosen

New Corn Oil Has Many
Advantages For Cooking
Smokeless cooking is a possibility
with corn oil, which has a burning
point of 650 degrees F., as compar
ed with only 425 degrees for lard,
250 degrees for butter, 535 degrees
for cottonseed oil, 600 degrees for
olive oil, and 620 degrees for peanut
oil. The low burning point of lard
and butter fills the kitchen with
burning grease smoke, according to
Dr. Ralph St. J. Perry, in the Min
neapolis Tribune. The high burn
ing point of corn oil enables the
cook to bring it to COO degrees be
fore putting in food for frying, and
the hot oil instantly seals in food
juices, retaining flavor and aroma,
the food being cooked in its own
Juice instead of saturated with
grease. In one experiment, an
onion, a doughnut, a meat ball, and
a codfish ball were all fried together
in the same corn oil, none of them
absorbing flavors from the others, an
illustration of this sealing. Corn oil
also has a lower congealing point
than any other salad oil, remaining
clear and fluid down to 14 degrees
F., and so makes salad dressings
which are free from lumps. Olive
oil becomes cloudy and solidifies at
32 degrees, as does peanut oil. It
is said that nothing equals American
corn oil for nice, even browning of
fancy dishes. Oil content averages
about 5 per cent, of the corn grain,
so that a 3, 000,000,000-bushel corn
crop holds potentially 400,000,000
gallons of corn oil. The oil is ex
tracted from the corn germs, puri
fied by filtration and steaming, which
sterilizes it and turns it into a clear,
limpid, pale straw-colored food oil,
free from odor, possessing a peculiar
sweet flavor and keeping without
rancidity for many months.

U.S. INCREASES
USE OF SUGAR
The Per Capita Consumption
Mounts Upward Despite
the War
There were about 1,500,000,000 |
pounds of commercial sugar stocks \
on hand August 31, 1917, compared
to 2,000,000,000 pounds on the same
date in 1916, according to the first
War Emergency Food Survey, fig
ures for which are issued by the
United States Department of Agri- i
culture. Large decreases were re- j
ported by mills and refineries and ;
by storage warehouses, although
stocks in the hands of wholesale
grocers and all large users of sugar
showed increases in 1917.
Increased Per Capita Consumption
The returns indicate that the
amount of sugar consumed in 1917
was about 88.3 pounds per capita,
whereas the average consumption
for the five-year period ending in
1916 was 84.7 pounds per capita.
The evident increase in consump
tion, says the department, is due in
part to the increased manufacture
for export of commodities like con- '
di nned milk, arid to an increase in j
population, coupled with an increas- I
ed consumption by individuals, and !
to an increase in consumer's stocks, i
Where Sugar Was licld
Of the total stocks of sugar re
ported, more than 038 million
pounds or 41 per cent was held by
sugar and sirup mills and refineries.
Wholesale grocers held about 285
million pounds or 15.8 per cent, and
storage warehouses about 207 mil
lion pounds, of 15.8 per cent. Retail
dealers came next with about 134
million pounds, or 10.4 per cent, of
the total.
New York reported the largest
stocks, about 323 million pounds,
followed in order by California and
Lot isiana, both of which held over
100 million pounds. Details of the
sugar survey may be found in Cir
cular 96, Office of the Secretary,

culture.

Good Roads Program
Planned For Lebanon
Lebanon county lined up for bet
ter roads at a big meeting of citi
zens of Lebanon and rural districts
of the county in the courthouse Sat
urday when the Lebanon County
Good Roads Association was organ
ized with Simon P. Light as presi
dent; W. L. Wchatter, secretary; H.
H. Ulrich, treasurer, and a vice
president in every borough and
township.
The immediate purpose of the
project is to induce the County Com
missioners to take the necessary
steps to secure federal and state
aid,*in conjunction with Berks and
Dauphin counties, for the fmmedi-y*
ate rebuilding of the old Berks and
Dauphin turnpike between Harris
uurg and Heading, freed last year,
anu now a part ot the William Penn
highway. It is hoped to put the im
provement through on a basis of
twenty-live per cent, of construction
costs to each county as Berks, Leb
anon and Dauphin counties each
shared the cost of purchase of the
turnpike with the state on a fifty
lifty basis.
'ilie new Good Roads Association
will, however, devote itself to gen
eral road improvements and com
mittee chairmen include: Post roads,
Mayor George T. Spang; state high
ways, George F. Krause; township
roads, C. C. Gingrich; publicity, A.
B. Schropp.
