Few Changes Came in
Scholastic League;
Frank Holds Record
Comparatively few changes in po
sition took place among the basket
ball tossers of the Central Penn
sylvania league. vWith the season
half over the players are beginning
to settle in the positions which they
will ultimately occupy. Gradually
the race is narrowing down wMth
about one player on each team hav
ing a chance for honors.
Frank, of the Central team, even
ed the league record by scoring 32
points against Reading Friday
night. Added to his total is 20
more points collected at York earlier
in the week. In all he has amassed
almost 25 points per game for him
self. This was more than the en
tire Allentown team has been able
to collect on an average per con
test. It is not likely that he will
be dislodged for weeks, if it is at
all possible.

BUY COAL NOW,
GARFIELD URGES
HOUSEHOLDERS
Lav in Supply as Soon as
Available, Is His
Advice
Washington, D. C., Feb. 26.—Dr.
Harry A. Garfield, the Fuel Admin
istrator, yesterday advised all house
holders to buy their normal supplies
of coal for next winter in the regu
lar way as soon as the coal ts avail
able.
"Let everyone put in his supply in
the normal way," he said. "If ho
has been getting his goal in April,
let him continue to do so, if the
order can be filled then. If not an
April order, then put it in the next
month, or the month after."
The regulation of eoal prices for
the domestic consumer for the com
ing season is the chief problem with
which the Fuel Administration Is
wrestling. That these prices be
equitably adjusted at the earliest
possible moment was declared by Dr.
Garfield to be one of the utmost im
portance, in connection with existing
pluns of producion and distribution.
The Fuel Administration is going
over delayed applications for price
revisions, many of which were filed
months ago. It is anticipated that
decisions will be rendered on these
old applications before April 1, the
date on which the new coal season
begins. At the same time, such oth
er classifications as may be neces
sary will be made to relieve uncer
tainty.
The intention. Dr. Garfield said, is
to make readjustments on the basis
of studies of production costs, with
further readjustment from time to'
time, as may be necessary to keep
the prices on a scale fair to the pub
lic, fair to the coal Industry and suf
ficiently high to encourage produc
tion.
"Regulations governing domestic
coal mußt be worked out most care
fully," said Dr. Garfield. "This is
the greatest present cdhsideratlon of
the Fuel Administration, in view of
the activities of April to September,
when there is normally produced
and largely handled the fuel for do
mestic use."
Dr. Garfield rciteratc-d his denial
that the Fuel Administration had
ever advised against householders
putting In the'r winter's supply of
coal In the summer.
FEAST OF PLRI.M

with 137 tallies in seven contests.
Miller, tho little Lebanon guard, still
' leads the league with 3 4 field goals
i in 8 games. The offensive play of
: the Lebanonites is built around him.
Glngerlch leads the lout tossers with
. 99. Both Nyquist and Frank are on ;
his heels. Frank has the highest:

Hard Week Ahead
■j This week will be a strenuous one j
! | for him in that both contests arei
r l staged away from home, and his!
I! average is likely to suffer.
■ | The best scoring team in the
11 league would be Nyquist and Ginge

with Miller and Beck at guards.
! I Weston, the Allentown guard, has a
■ better scoring record than Beck, but
11 most of his points are from fouls,

DRIVE FOR WAR
1 FUND TO OPEN
Kiwanis Club Seeks $2,000
For Splendid Salvation
Army Program
; On Thursday and Friday of this
week the people of Harrisburg will
be called on to make an investment
for humanity—an investment that
will reflect credit on the giver as
well as who will receive the
benefits of the good work now be
ing done at home and "over there."
The Salvation Army war service
quota for Harrisburg is $2,000. The
j campaign will be conducted by the
Kiwanis Club, whose members by
displaying the same kind of "pep"
they do in their various businesses
will be sure to secure the desired
amount, and then some.
The blue bonnet of the Salvation
Army sister always framing a
cheery smile and a happy face, is
known from the wilds of Africa to
the slums of New York, from the
soldiers' training camp at home to
the dugouts and dressing stations
of France. •
Although the bonnet has given
way to the more practical campaign
hat ami the cheery smile is some
times hidden perforce behind a gas
mask, strenuous labor in the ad
vance camps of the American Army
in France has failed to erase any
of the happiness from the faces of
the Salvation Army lassies. They llvo
and work under the same conditions
as do our soldiers who for weeks
past, drench by chill rains, have
slept In tireless tents and billets. The
rainy nights, however, are not an
unmixed blessing for every moon
light night brings the "Messages
from the sky;" more than one bomb
tossed by Hun aviators having land
ed unpleasantly close to the hut
ments. In the evening the Salva
tion Army hutments are thronged
with men who crowd around the
big stoves, the stream from their
drying garments fometimes giving the
rooms the appearance of a Turkish
bath steamroom, in full Mast. In
several of the camps these hutments
are the only places where the men
can find a warm /Ire v>d a com
fortable place to sit and read. A
score of game tables are never Idle
and around the Ylctrola there Is an
eridless argument as to whether the.
next record shall be a ragtime or a
grand opera.

British Officer Appeals
to Countrymen to Join
Colors For War Service
ColoneJ St. George L. Steele, in
an address in the Senate caucus
room yesterday afternoon at 3
o'clock, told listeners many interest
ing things about Britain's part in
the world war.
"Everybody," stated Colonel Steele,
should be made to realize that this
is no ordinary war. W° should for
get the strife and the alleged inter
nal dissension in Germany, for all
such things are likely to slacken our
own energies, and thus act as a
handicap against us. There is only
one way to shortern this wf#r, and
that is to most thoroughly prepare
for a long war.
"We are appealing to all good
and patriotic Americans to co-op
erate with us in bringing into the
British or Canadian service- every
subject in this country, and it is
certainly a false idea indeed tflat
would prompt or permit any Ameri
can employer of labor to retain in
his service such men who are there
by deliberate slackers. Patriotism,
not profit, should be the motto of
every American employer of labor.

Magnates of the Blue Ridge#'
League will meet In Hagerstown. j
March 6 to take up plans for the j
coming season. It is understood a
Harrlsburg booster will be present. !
What he has to offer no one knows. |
It is said lie desires to explain real |
conditions to the league officials and I
arrange for one or more games to j
l>o played in Ilarrisburg, should the l
race be close.
One thing is certain. Football
w ill be a popular sport next fall.
There is no indication that the big
stars now at the front will return
in time to get into shape for grid
iron battles. This explains the ac
tivity at all colleges in getting new
material lined up. The schedules
are attractive and preliminary work
mapped out promises some rare
sport.
Harrlsburg will see the Carlisle
Indians in football this year. Coach
Leo Harris is to be thanked for get
ting this attraction. The Indians
will meet Lafayette here. It may
be a midweek game, but that counts.
There are businessmen who cannot
get away on Saturday, and they will
enjoy midweek sport.
Now that Fred Fulton has cleaned
I up his slate, he is the man to meet
Jess Willard. The latter, however,
may insist on Fulton winning a few
more battles. Unless an undiscov
ered heavyweight, who might put
the "Iv. O." on Fulton, turns up It
would bo an unpopular move for

.Merle Lemer, a 133-pound athlete
who is active in tho success of the
.Uolive Power Athletic Association
of tlie Philadelphia division, Penn
sylvania railroad is not pleased with
the story that lie was knocked out
by Young Sclnff. It was a referee's
decision who Has since changed his
opinion. Lemer was fouled, not In
tentionally, and this interfered with
his staying qualities. Lemer is a
good boxer, and is anxious to get
another chance with Scliifl. His
last battle was a good draw.
Those Tarsus boys must be some
pacemakers. All teams are after
the local five for a championship
series. The Commonwealth Five is
out with a challenge. It is prob
able they will be accommodated
providing a schedule can be ar
ranged. Just now Tarsus has shot
all they can handle.
Harrlsburg sportsmen will stage
a great shoot at Lancaster on
March 15. It will be a 50-bird race
and besides the state championship
for an event of this kind there will
be some trophies worth going after.
Lancaster' is getting ready for the
state shoot In Ma.v and this will be
a good opportuhity to get ac
quainted with these real live sports
men in that city. No matter how
far distant a shoot is held from
Lancaster that oity always has a
largo representation. Now it Is up
to state shooters to give Lancaster
a boost.
