Ga., March 15.—Manager Frank of the Atlanta Southern Asso ciation team; has announced the sale of First Baseman Jake Munch to the Philadelphia Americans. Munch was runner-up in the South ern Association batting last season, with an average of .330. The locals will receive in pay ment for Munch Catcher Val Picir.ich and Outfielder Strait. Picinich was with the locals last year, but wa3 recalled at the end of the season by the Athletics. Strait played with Scranton and Wilkes-Barre in the New York State League last year. It is understood the Athletics ob tained Strait from the AVilkes-Barre club, though up until this week it was not generally known Mack had title to the player's services. Strait's honw is at ElmirA, N. V. He formerly play ed in the Tri-State and Northwestern Leagues. Later he was in the Inter national. He is reported to have played three years with Scranton. He was released outright by that club last season as a means of cut ting expenses and promptly signed with Wilkes-Barre. Strait is a right handed thrower and a left-handed batsman.

Faculty Director Grubb, and a squad of eight players left this afternoon for Ty rone, where they will play the first of a series of four contests that will bring to a close Tech's most success ful basketball season, within the next eight days. Tyrone and Al toona will be the two teams to be met over this weekend. Tuesday the Quintet will go to York, while next Friday will be the linal gamo of the season, when Central and Tech again battle at Chestnut street auditorium. While the Maroon quintet is an xious to defeat Tyrone and Altoona, tho results of the two games will not figure in tlyp Central Penn League, as neither team is a member of the league. However, to win will widen the territory over which Tech will have a claim' for championship honors. At Tyrone the local ag gregation will be slightly handicap ped by the fact that the game will bo played in a small gymnasium. Xo>Worry About Altoona At Altoona rumor has it that the lloor upon which the high school games arc played has baskets with twelve-inch extensions. But neither handicap is thought sufficient to keep the team lead by Captain Huston from annexing two more games. To date Tech has a record of 12 victories out of 14 starts, with four more games to be played. The game at York should bo won easily, as the York squad seems to have lost its morale with the recent defeats. Against Williajnsport last Friday night, Coach Bilheimer started the game with three substitutes. York won the game on fouls, as tho "Bill towners" outscored York from the field by a good margin. Unless the unforeseen happens, Tech should "bring home the bacon." Against Central in the final contest of the season the Maroon looks for another hard fought game with Tech on the long end. The lineup for to-night will likely be: Tech Tyrone Huston, f. Walton, i. Lingle, f. Haupt, f. Wilsbach, c. Mitchell, c. Beck, g. Nason, g. Ivohlman, Smith g. Woomer, g.

The reason for this was no fault of the management, but was due to illness on the part of several of the participants. Only one boxing exhibition was staged. There were supposed to be three others, but one or the other of the fighters didn't show up. The feature start of the evening was between Sammy Schiff, a local brxcr of some repute, and I* J. Crow, a foxer from the shops. This was an interesting fight while it lasted, but it didn't go very long. From the bell these two boys went at each oth er as if each had a personal griev ance against each other. Several blows were exchanged until Anally Sammy Schiff landed a liot one straight from the shoulder right on the point of Young Crow's chin and that fended the bout. This blow came before they had fought two niinutfes. Schiff is getting himself a record as a K. O. fighter in the association. Good Wrestling There were three good wrestling touts staged in addition to the box ing go. The first one was between Dave Lipman and Earl Trayer. This match was to go fifteen minutes, but after three minutes of wrestling Lip man got a full Nelson on Trayer and pinned his shoulders to the mat. •. The next one was between N. M. Jones, of the boiler shop, and John Frankenberger, of the plumbing shop. These two boys weighed around the ISO mark and gave a good exhibition of wrestling. Jones won the fall in seven minutes and forty-five seconds. In the. last bout Dave Lipman met his match in Emir Kressman. They had wrestled for seven minutes and a half, when Kressman lifted Lip man up In the air and then laid him down on the mat for the fall.

FIRST CONCRETE SHIP LAUNCHED; 44 MORE TO FOLLOW All to Be Completed in Eight een Months; New Era in Ship Building , A Pacific Port, Mafch 14.—50 suc cessful was the launching here to- day of the world's largest reinforced concrete ship that her builder an nounced they immediately would begin construction of fifty-four sim ilar ships and expect that all would be completed within eighteen months. Six weeks from the day the con crete was poured into the forms, the 7,90-ton ship, christented "Faith" took the water. The huge hull careening sharply as it slid side wise down a steeply pitched incilne, threw up a huge wave in the narrow estuary, then righted sharply and rode like a buoy. Not a hitch marred the operation. Engines will be instal led at once and the Faith put into commission as rapidly as she can be fitted out, and given a trial trip, it was announced. Experts who witnessed the launch ing predicted that concrete construc tion would mark a new era in ship building and that the speed with which such ships could be turned out undoubtedly would have an import ant bearing on the allies' successful pr last, in the \ rich Burgundy Ts. broad, flat muf I\ heels, invisible eyelets, repro- j|ffi I \ duction of a beautiful $lO Metro- 111 / Rfl * \ politan Model.
