NOBLE FRANK, CENTRAL HIGH CAGE STAR, LOOKS LIKE SEASON'S INDIVIDUAL CHAMPION
HILL LEAGUE TO ' )
GET EARLY START;
REGULAR GAMES
Meeting Called For Tuesday,
March 26; May Play
Nine Innings
With the approach of the warm
■weather, basebalt fans on Allison
Hill are beginning: to look- forward
to the opening of the Allison Mil
league which will likely start tin?
middle, of April. It is thought pos
sible to start the league that time
because of the daylight saving plan,
one of the objects of which is to In
crease the spirit of f>lay.
Secretary Allen 11. l'ritz will send
out notices to managers to come to
the first meeting Tuesday. March 26.
at S o'clock. The meeting will be
held in the office of the Allison Hill
freight station. Sixteenth and Chest
nut streets, and will be for the pur
pose of selecting a president to suc
eed J. Howard Reel. Urgent busi
ness will prevent him from heading
the organization this season. A vice
president will ulso be elected. The
secretary and treasurer is Allen H.
Frit*.
May Play Full Games
During most of last year the mem
bers of the league found it possible
to play only six innings. With the
contests to start at an earlier time,
it is likely that a full game can be
arranged for. The season will start
with Heading. Stanley. Galahads and
the Hick-a-Thrifts again represented
in the league. Games will be played
at Seventeenth and Chestnut streets.
The player-limit for each nine will
be eighteen athletes. Charles Pres
sler represents the Reading aggre
gation. John Machlin is at the head
of the Stanley team. Allen l'ritz leads
the Galahads, while Murray Wash
burn manages the Hick-a-Thr'.fts.
These managers will be at the meet
ing a week from to-night.
While a number of the Allison Hill
athletes have been called to the
colors of Uncle Sam, It is the inten
tion of-the clubs to fill in the gaps
with younger blood, without ma
terially weakening the teams in the
league. Score cards will be printed
and sold as in previous years.
<. rowds enjoyed the sport last season,
and many will look forward with in
terest to the opening.

Noble Frank Leads
In Schedule Race;
Miller Record Breaker
With the basketball tossers of the]
Central Penn circuit entering upon
! their last week of play, it is almost
; an established fact that the order ot
finishing for individual honors will
be Frank. Nyquist and Huston, com
i ing under the wire in one. two, three
order.
Noble Frank secured an advantage
, at the start that his opponents could
not overcome, and as a result he will
I have the honor of being the highest
| individual scorer, when the final av- j
j erages are compiled. He has one
i more game to play against Tech. Fri
day night, and he is sure to retain
his lead because of his wonderful
'ability to cage fouls from the fifteen
foot mark. Captain Nyquist, of
Reading, has caged more field goals
: than the local lad. but Frank L far
superior as a foul shooter.
.Miller Recortl Breaker
Miller, the clever Lebanon guard,
j broke league records for three
years, by tossing in 16 field goals
while guarding Nyquist at Lebanon
Saturday night. The highest score
previously made was 11. This mark
was reached several times this year, '
and was first set by Glenn Killinger,
of Tech. against Lebanon, during
the tirst year of the league. The 1> .

Steelton Completes Schedule
Steelton is the first team to finish
its schedule. The Blue and White !
players had rather a poor season, j
and will finish near the rear of the
procession. The entering of George !
Porr into the Steelton lineup added ;
• pep'' to the team's playing, but the '
Change was made after most of the
contests were lost. Poor leads his
teammates in individual scoring.
Allentown shows promise of being
in the race for'honors next season.!
The York team seems to have struck
■ a slump, and even though they do
t get out of it before the close of the 1
season, they will not be among the '
leaders. Tech should have n victory

Lancaster. Pa.. March 19.—Tho,
windup at Frankie Erne's last night i
between Johnny Wolgast afid Danny
Ferguson, of Manayunk was one of
the roughest boutsever seen in this!
city, as the visitor was repeatedly i
cautioned for his dirty tactics. Wol- 1
gast did the forcing of the light
throughout and scored a clean?
knockdown jn the sixth and was'
awarded the verdict through his'
work.
Tim Droney defeated Battling
Hudson in six hard rounds in the
fremltinal. the / visitor's awkward
style proving a puzzle to Droney fori
a round or two, but when he got the
gaug there was nothing to it.
Frankie Erne beat George Reinoldy.
flooring him in the last round, and
he was unable to leave the ring for
several minutes. Young Russell scor-'
ed a clean knockout over Johnny 1
Murphy in the lifth round and it re
quired several minutes to bring him
around. Whitey King, after being
floored in the second round, fought
an uphill battle to a shade decision.
A large crowd was irt attendance.

To Start Ball Games
One Hour Later This Year
' Chicago. March 19. Baseball,
games in the American league will
begin at 4 p. m. this year, one hour
later than in l'ormer years, if B. B. j
, Johnson, president of the league, lias'
; his way. Mr. Johnson thinks the!
later start will enable many persons,
to leave their offices for tlie day, and ]
! that the attendance will be large- j
ly increased.
' Before leaving for St. Louis last;
night, Mr. Johnson took steps to put!
I the 4 o'clock opening tip to the rlub|
owners, but he expressed the opin
ion that the league would vote on the ;
question and make the opening time;
uniform.
"As I see it, the added hour of I
day light under the new law, will be
a boon to baseball," said Johnson.j
i "We can start our games an hour;
later by the watch and still have'
1 plenty of daylight left to finish. By
: beginning at 4 o'clock this season.
we will be following the old style, as,
• far as the sun is concerned.
"I will take up the matter with!
our league immediately. It seems toj
me a certainty, however, that instead'
of leaving it to the opinion of the :
individual club owner, the league will
vote to start all games at 4 o'clock."]

JUDGE RULES OUT
TRIAL EVIDENCE
'
[Continued from First Page.] j
I to the towpath along the canal near;
| Middletown, where Ephraim Silber
' man, the murdered junk peddler,
was found, and Richcreek's demon
stration of how the shooting oc
, curred. Richcreek's defense is that
; he shot at a bird but missed his |
mark, the'charge striking the old j
peddler, who waa sitting on the!
r other side of the towpath.
An effort to introduce targets
| made by shots fired from the gun ;
; which Richcreek had used was 1
; stopped by Judge Johnson, who \
' ruled that the evidence was not ad-i
mlssable. At the former trial the'
targets were admitted, showing the
force of the shot at close range and !
! the spreading effect at long range, i
Evidence Ruled Out
| Judge Johnson also refused to ad- j
mit as evidence a, small canvas bag
which it is claimed belonged to Sil-!
berman. District Attorney Michael I
E. Stroup offered it together with I
several other exhibits, including the I
i shotgun. Judge Johnson after a|
, short argument by counsel changed i
his decision and admitted the bag, i
noting an exception for the defense. [
| Other witnesses called during the;
! morning session included Harry
i Henry, who testified he found the
1 bag about seventy-five yardß from
the place where Silberman was
killed; John Alleman and Mrs. John
Ridley, the latter having seen Sil
berman count his money frequently
and identifying the canvas bag as
I similar to one the peddler carried.
Jurors which have been selected to
| hear the Richcreek rase Include:
! George H. Heagy. city; John H. j
; Buck, Lower Paxton township: i
j George H. Herzog, city; Grover C.

GROCERS TO TAKE
! ACTIVE PART IN
| FOOD PROBLEMS
Merchants May Organize To
night; Plan Cash and
Carry Liberty Store
An organization of grocers to do
i cide all questions of interest to the 1
food merchants, is .likely to lie the 1
outcome of the meeting of grocers j
in the Technical High school this,
evening. The meeting will be nd-i
dressed by Wiggins Smedley, secre-J
tary of the Retail Grocers' Associn-,
tion of Pennsylvania. All the sroc-j
ers of the city are asked to attend i
the meeting.
The cash and carry system for 1
j purveying fooiistuffs to the consumer i
I will not be forced on the grocer. Mr. |
I McCormick, county food administra-j
tor, said this morning. The idea of
the meeting to-night is to show the
| grocers the advantages of some sort
of organization to take up matters
of interest to all the grocers and
work on them when the occasion
arises.
The organization to be effected
probably will take the form of ai
I committee or executive body appoint-'
cd or elected from among the groc-l
ers. These men would have author- 1
jity'to act for the entire body -of
I grocers, and decide matters of inter-1
i est. One o£ the acts of such an . xe
cutlve committee would be for them]
to meet with the food administr-.i-;
tor twice weekly when he compiles ■
the retail grocery price lint for con
sumers. At the present time tliisj
j list is compiled by a few of thej
grocers.
To Open Liberty Store
It is likely that a Liberty Sto-e
j will be established in the city soon,
] it was said by Mr. McCormick this
; morning. This store wjtl be on the
i cash and carry plan, selling fruits
j and vegetables only. ' The conimo
