EXPECT BATTLE ROYAL TONIGHT WHEN TECH MEETS CENTRAL IN TITLE CONTEST
Central lli£h Team
To Stagjje Comeback;
Blue and Gray Dope
Central High is going after Tech
tcssers to-night. No matter what
las happened in previous games, the
Blue and Gray cagers are not whip
ped yet. From Central camp comes
the following:
The majority of people believe that
Tech is going to have easy sailing,
1 ut Central supporters think just tho
opposite, and are backing their team
to the limit. Tech is at the head of
the Central Pennsylvania League
with a record of six games won and
two lost. Central Is fourth with four
games won and four games * os J-
Tech's record, therefore, is much
lietter than Central's, thereby mak
ing them the favorites. However,
the Central team has been playing an
erratic this season, playing in
enamplonship form one game and the
next game they would play liKe a
bunch of grammar school boys.
Central Takes Brace
After Central suffered a defeat at
tho hands of the Harrlsburg Acade
iry several weeks ago they braced
up and surprised all the dopesters bj
defeating York High, score 30-24
The next night they walloped Bead
ing High, score 30-24. That game
central five plaved a brand of bas
ketball which if they equal to-night
may bring victory.
Friday and Saturday they
I layed at Reading and AUentown,
losing both games. They outscorea
AUentown from the field, but had
too many fouls called on them to
win the game. Because the games
between these two schools are al
ways more important than any o" 1 "
P r, the Central crowd believes that
their team is going to stage another
. omeback and spring a big surprise
or. the Walnut street lads to-night.
There will bo many interesting
features about the game. The two
csptains will be paired off against
each other. Captain Wolfe will guard
Certain Huston. The latter has beer I

leaping to the front lately as one of
the best shots in the league. Cap
tain Wolfe lias been playing a fine
game all year for Central. He al
ways sets the example for the rest
of the team by fighting hard all the
time. Wolfe can be counted on to
do his share of the guarding and will
keep Huston to a minimum number
of tallies from the field.
Field* Speed Boy
Art Fields, the speedy Central
guard, will be pitted against Lingle,
one of the fastest forwards in the
league. These two boys once played
on the same grammar school team.
Both are very fast on the floor. All
season Lingle has been playing a
stellar game for Tech. Fields is
considered one of the fastest guards
in the league. He is an excellent
man for working the ball down the
floor and can be counted on for sev-.
eral goals in every game. His work
on the defense has been great all
year. To-night he will have a
chance to prove that he is the best
guard in the league.
Noble Frank, the high scorer In
the league, will play against Wils
bach* Frank easily surpasses any
one else in the league. All year it
has been the wonderful work of
Frank from the field and the foul
line that has kept Central in the
race. He has scored an average of
more than twenty-four points a
game. Beck, Tech's best guard, will
play against Goodiel. Kohlman and
Wright will be the other pair of
gladiators.
An enthusiastic mass meeting is
being held daily at Central and an
extra large cheering section !s as
sured.
Central practices this week have
been very encouraging to Coach Wal
lower and former Coach McCord,
who has been helping. The team is
determined to win from Tech and
such a spirit will do a lot.

Internationals Showing
Activity in Preparations
New York, March 7, —Bight on the
heels of a report that Jack Dunn,
manager of the Baltimore Interna
tional League team, was endeavoring
to reorganize the International
League, with Baltimore, Richmond,
Wilmington, Newark, Bochester,
"Syracuse, Buffalo and Toronto hold
ing franchises, comes the report that
James J. McCaffrey, president of the
Toronto club, is signing his players
for 1918.
"The International is going to be
reorganized," said McCaffrey in To
ronto yesterday. "We will go on.
There will be some new clubs, but
in general it will be the old circuit.
Some new capital has been interest
ed and we will gA protection from
I the big leagues. I expect Lajoie, the
manager of the Toronto team, here
for a conference."
This will be sad news for J. C.
McGill, owner of the Indianapolis
American Association team, who had
expected to sign Lajoie to manage
the Hoosiers.
Dunn's declaration that Buffalo
will be in the new league is inter
esting, as the club's effects, sched
uled at some $30,000, were sold for
about $4,000 some days ago.
Lajoie Will Head Hoosiers,
Assumes New Duties Soon
'
>TAJPOI/S.O>T
When the International League
disbands on March 20, the Toronto
Club will release Napoleon Lajoie to
the Indianapolis team of the Ameri
can Association. Lajoie .will replace
Jack Hendricks as manager of the
Hoosiers and also play first base. His
career in the American Association
will be watched with interest. If he
can build up a pennant winner, as
he did with Toronto last year, he
may secure a managerial position in
the majors next year.
Merle Harris Leading
in Pennsylvania League
Pittston, March 7.—Merle Harris,
speedy forward on the Pittston Club,
has stepped into leadership of the
individual scorers in the Penn State
Basketball League.
Since Kane haff been dropped by
Wilkes-Barre, Harris' closest rival
is Dick Leary, now with Hazleton,
and the Pittston boy has a margin ol'
18 points over Leary, and promises
to still hold the scoring crown when
the season closes, on March 16.
Harris is classed as an "amateur"
in the Penn State, sipce all his
league experience has been in that
circuit. He has spent his entire
cage career with the Pittston clnb,
breaking in with the independent
team representing this town ten
years ago.
.He is a consistent player, an ex
tremely fa t dribbler and has a good
eye from he 15-foot mark. Harris
has tallie I 70 field goals and 136
fouls for a total of 280 points in
forty games.
Garry Schmeelk, the other Pitts
ton forward, leads in field goals, with
90 in thirty-four games.
"Dots" Miller Objects to
Playing With Marines
Washington,
standing the l'act that he's in the
Marine Corps as a volunteer, Jack
("Dots") Miller, formerly of the
Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis
Cardinals, thought he stood a good
chance of being drafted.
The Marine Corps baseball team
in this city needs crack inflelders
artd Miller's name heads the list of
prospects.
"Gee, I don't want to be drafted
and play ball," grumbled "Dots"
when informed that he might be
chosen to play on the crack Marine
nine. "I want to fight—that's why
I joined this tyitfit. And now they
want me to play ball. Can you beat
such luck?"
But when General Barnett was
informed that Miller would rather
fight than play ball he declined to
order him to Washington.
Miller would probably have man
aged the Cardinals the coming sea
son had he stuck to baseball in
stead of joining the colors.

his players have been instructed to

Tech Meets Central
In Local Cage Series;
Expect Hard Battle
Tech versus Central to-night on
Chestnut street auditorium floor in
the first basketball contest of the
final series that will take place be
tween the two High schools. The
reserve teams of both schools will
also play, beginning at 7.30.
Both quintets have held their final
practices and Coaches Wallow#r and
Miller have announced their respec
tive teams, in the pink of condition
for a battle royal. Interest in the af
fair seems to be at a higher pitch
than evr and as a -result there will
be one of the largest crowds on hand
that ever attended a cage game In
Harrisburg.
As in football, Central has always
held the whip hand in the indoor
games. Not once in years past has
Tech been able to land the series.
Several times the Maroon —as last
year—split even on the series, but
when the final game was played as
was usually the case, the Blue and
Gray was victorious. Last year Tech
won the first game and dropped the
second. The third game was never
played. This year in case of a tie, a
third contest will be necessary in
order to determine the ownership of
the Diener trophy.
Tech Enters Favorite
Tech enters the ?ame the favor
ite because of its record of 11 vic
tories out of 13 starts. Central has
landed 5 out of 11. Tech heads the
Central Penn League while Central
holds middle position. Central will
pin its hopes on Frank's offensive
work and Fields' defensive play.
These two lads stand out prominent-

the police station for two months
with its cheerful chatter, was taken
home by its owner last night, and
policemen are mourning the loss of
their little friend. The parrot was a
friend of everybody on the force,
and during its short stay, had made
a firm place for itself in the hearts
of the patrolmen.
* Tho owner of the parrot left cigars
for the members of the force last
night who have helped to take care
of the parrot. She left the cigars
with the stipulation that none must
be given to any one who had tried
to teach the parrot to swear.
