    CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL TOSSERS FULL OF OLD TIME SPIRIT —AFTER TECH SCALP
FIGHT FANS WILL !
SEE GREAT SHOW
STRONG WINDUP
I
Much Interest in Coming Ex
hibition; Tickets on Sale
Today; Seats Tomorrow
>
Cards telling about the big boxing
show scheduled for Tuesday night
are in circulation. The fight fans all
over the city are doing some talking.
The announcement that the Motive
Power Athletic Association would
stage a big exhibition came as a sur
prise. When the big bill was made
public there was still more talk and
it looks like a record crowd for the
first show at Chestnut Street Audi
torium.
The seat sale will open to-morrow I
morning at 10 o'clock at George W.
Kogar's store, 12-14 North Market
Square. General admission tickets
went on sale to-day about the shops
and there was a lively scramble.
These tickets may be exchanged for
reserved seats on payment of the
additional fee.
Word received in Harrisburg to- j
day from Jack llanlon, manager of i
the Olympia Club, Philadelphia, told I
of an active bunch of lighters who
are training for theft appearance in
this city. The windup between
t'harley (Toughey) Murray, of Pitts
•burgh, and K. O. Joe O'Donnell, of
Philadelphia, promises a battle ex
traordinary. These boys have been
going a pace that puts them in the
title list.
StliifT Is Training
Sammy Schiff, of this city, who
will meet Joe McMarron, of Allen
town, has started his training and
will be in good shape for the eight
round contest. The Allentown lad
hae been keeping in form, meeting
boys at Reading and in his home
town.
Much interest is manifested in
the preliminaries. Nat Isaacman.
the plucky Harrisburg boy who has
been showing great form at the local
athletic association membership
shows, meets Kid Crow, of this city,
formerly of Altoona. The latter boy
has also been making good. The two
Lancaster boys, Sam Kautz and
Young Russell, will meet in a six
round contest. If these boys show
their usual form, the're is likely to be
a short battle. They are bitter
rivals.

Central Anxious For
Final Game Victory;
M eet Tecli Tomorrow
Chances are that when Tech and
Central meet to-morrow night in the
tinai basketball classic to be played
between the two institutions, another
recording-breaking crowd will be on
hand to see the battle. Tech has
much to gain. In the (irst place it will
mean the first basketball champion
ship for the Maroon which will give
them the Central Pennsylvania
League pennant, the Rennssaeler
trophy for permanent possession,
and the Reading Times cup which
will have to be won three times for
permanent possession. Locally speak
ing the Diener cup will come to Tech
for winning the local honors.
And on the other hand Tech can
not afford to lose. A defeat will mean
much more work for the Maroon
tossers. It would cause a tie in the
league honors as well as the local
honors. A series of three games
would be necessary to be played with
Lebanon, and at least one more
game with Central to decide the win
ner of the Diener trophy. So Tech
will light hard for a victory, lead by
Captain Huston.
Ccutral Wants Clean Slate
Central's main desire in winning
| is to keep Tech from ever winning a
j series from Central. In years paSt
Tech has tied Central, but has never
, won a series. Win or lose. Central
will hold down the middle position
!in the ladder. Because of Tech's
j consistent playing throughout the
' season they enter the game as the
• favorites. The records of the two
quintets to date areas follows:
Tech—Alumni, 26 to 23; Lebanon,
30 to 18: Indian Res., 44 to 24; Leb-I
anon, 28 to 30; Allentown, 34 to 16;

TRENTON AFTER
LOCAL VICTORY
Harry Hough With His All-
Star Team Will Be Sat
urday Attraction
Harry Hough, the world's highest
price basketball star, will be here
Saturday with his famous Trenton
team. .The Tigers will be the attrac
tion Saturday night at the auditor
ium and there will be some battle.
Trenton is out for revenge.
Several weeks ago when ' High's
aggregation played here he received
an ugly gash over the eye and this
accident was a factor in crimping
Trenton's ehnces to win. The score
was 42 to 39 in favor of the harris
burg Independents. Eddie Wallower
was also injured in this game and
was unable to play for some time.
All Star Lineup
The Trentonians will bring along
their all-star lineup. Hough's boys
are big attraction in Harrisburg
and the champion himself enjoys a
popularity second to none in the bas
ketball arena. The game will start at
8 o'clock and will Be followed with
a big dance program.
The Independents were out at
practice yesterday and will be busy
to-night and to'-morrow night. Man
ager Gordon Ford is anxious to to
wind up the season during the Easter
holidays with a record. His team has
been making good in recent contests
and Trenton will find the local five
a tough proposition.
DICK LEAHY IS CAGE ST Alt
llttxton, March 21.—Scoring heav
ily in the closing week of the sea
son, Dick Leary, center of the Hazle
ton club, carried off the individual
scoring records in the Penn State
Basketball League for Uie season just
closed. In forty-six games Learv
made eighty field goals and 135 foul
goals, or a total of 295 points. Merle
Harris, of the Pittston club, led un
til the final game, when Leary's ten
points sent the veteran into the first"
position. Harris finishes in second
Place, four points behind Leary, but
he has the distinction of being the
league's best scorer from the foul
line.
Berger, a Plymouth High School
boy, developed this season, is in third
place. Garry Schmeelk. of the Pitts
ton club, tops the field goal tossers
with ninety-three in thirty-seven
games.

WOMEN STRONG
ON SUNDAY GAME
New York Legislature Reports j
Bill Out of Committee;
May Not Pass
• |
Albany. March 21. —For the first |
time in history of Legislative lights !
to legalize Sunday baseball, womeA !
from Xew York city appeared in I
force here to urge passage of the
Lawson-Kiernan bill, which would i
permit amateur or professional base
ball after 2 P. M, on Sunday. At the
conclusion of a lengthy hearing, at
' tended by people from all over the
state. Senator Charles D. Newton,
j chairman of the Codes Committee,
announced the bill would be reported
out. It is believed, however, that the
measure has little chance of survival
on the floor of either House.
War Is Factor
As with practically every other
piece of controversial legislation the
war entered into the battle. Canon
Chase of New York, a noted eccle
siastic, argued that while the war is
on "there is not room for squabble
over Sunday baseball." Proponents
of the measure contended that the
sport would serve to develop young
men physically and aid in fitting
them for service.
; Labor representatives, headed by
! James P. Holland. President of the
State Federation of Labor, spoke in
j favor of the bill.
Opponents of the bill claimed it i
to be a plain attempt to commercial I
baseball on Sunday, because the
j courts have already ruled that ama
i teur ball is permissible where no ad
mission charge is made. Charles J.
Richards. Secretary of the New York
Sabbath Committee, said the bill
' was nothing more than an attempt
] to foist the European idea of an open
; Sunday onfche United States. -'lt
I means," he said, "the Germanization
jof the American Sunday." He de
| clared that the best argument as to
how the people of the state felt on
| the subject is the fact that Legis
i tatures have blocked
I every similar measure.
Magistrate Francis X. JlcQuade of
j Xew York led the advocates of the
; bill. He declared it is unfair to shut
■ out the man who is proficient in his
profession. "Can you conceive of a
law which would make your son a
! criminal Just because he batted a
baseball in 'an open lot on a Sunday
afternoon?" asked Magistrate Mc-
Quade. He declared there was noth
ing that could be done on a Sunday
that would tend to uplift the morals
of a community more than baseball
would.
Mrs. Mary Gooderson of Xew
York City, Worthy Grand Matron of
the Order of the Eastern Star, ap
pealed for the bill. "Talking for
mothers," she said, "I want to say
that we feel a clean moral mind can
best be developed in a clean moral
body. The Sabbath was made for
man and not man for the Sabbath.
A few hours beneath the blue sky
means more to the tired worker than
all the theology and sermons in the
world."

Jack Britton, of Chicago, former wel- i

Two Big Fighters Have
Fought Few Contests
Compared with many second
| raters, neither Jess WUlard nor
Fred Fulton, who are to battle
i for the world's heavyweight
. championship on July 4, have
much in'the ring.
Willard's first bout occurred
j February 15, 1911, and he lost
j on a foul in ten rouhds. Includ
' ing his exhibition two-round
| bout with Soldier Kearns, Aug
ust 8, 1916, Willard has fought
, 253 rounds.
Fulton knocked out his first
opponent. Jack Stone, in two
rounds back in 1913. Counting
his last victory over Tom Cowler
I in five rounds at St. Louis March
11, 1918, the challenger hag
\ fought 221 rounds.
Many second-raters box fully
100 rounds a year.

Internationals' Fate
To Be Known Soon;
Need Sunday dames
New * York, March 21. —Minor
league magnates are awaiting with
unusual interest the outcome of the
meeting of the International league,
scheduled to be held, Mflrch 29. The
conference will be the second since
the annual meeting of the league was
adjourned late in December. It is
expected that at the coming session
the club owners will decide definitely
whether the organization will con
tinue its circuit during the season of
1918 or abandon play for the dura
tion of the war. Such evidence as
is available in advance would appear
to indicate that the league will ope
rate this summer.
Several of the club owners have
clearly intimated that they are op
posed to a continuation of play un
der the present unsettled conditions,
incidental to the war. Others stand
ready to back baseball for another
season at least, but just which side
will hold the majority vote cannot
be stated before the day'of the meet
ing. If it is decided to discontinue
the schedule there is a bare pos
sibility that one or more of the clubs
will form a new league by joining
hands with other city combinations
which have in past seasons been a
part of lower classification circuits.
Awful Ltlow to Baseball
A decision on the part of the In
ternational league to drop out would
be a severe blow to organized base
ball, for the association is one of
"POP" FOSTER
ARMY TEACHER
Former Tri-State Star Train
ing Boys to Fight; at
Camp Green
Uncle Sam is seeing to it that the
boys in the cantonments in this
country will be properly taken care
of in an athletic manner. There
have been a number of directors ap
pointed for the camps about the
country and they are now going to
give those who have no director an
athletic instructor. The government
realizes that athletics are doing a
vast amount of good for the boys
and it makes better soldiers of them.
The War Department Commission
on Training Camp Activities, through
Dr. Joseph E. Raycroft, supervisor
of athletics, has announced several
directors. Among the number is
Clarence F. Foster, superintendent
of athletics at the John Wanamaker
store at New York. Foster goes to
Camp Green, N. C.
"Pop" Foster oil Job
Foster in none other than Clarence
F. Foster who played baseball in
this city for several years during the
days of the Tri-State League. Start
ing with the outlaws at Willlamsport
he went to Lancaster in 1906 When
Fred Crolius was the manager of the
team and he succeeded Fred as man
ager. "Pop" as he was familiarly
called, played about three .years at
Lancaster, after which went to
Reading and later to Trenton. After
leaving the Tri-State he played in
New England for some time, but for
several years he has been devoting
his time to athletics, having given
up baseball altogether. There is no
question about his ability to make
good, as he is in athlete of some
note. There is no douot but that he
will make good at Camp Green and
his many friends here wish him suc
cess in the South.
Other Instructors
Thos. J. Brown, director of ath
letics in the Commercial High
School Brooklyn, goes to Camp Don
iphan, Fort Sill. Oklahoma and P.
H. Arbuckle, of the University of
Texas, to Camp Logan, Houston,
Texas, succeeding Capt. Joseph S.
Wright,of Chicago, resigned.
Joe Mandot, of New Orleans, who
was former instructor at Camp Sheri
dan, Montgomery, Ala., has been
succeeded by an enlisted man, and
was transferred to Camp Beaure

the pioneers among the minor
leagues and a steady and important
factor in the development of the
game and of players for major
league circuits. The league was or
ganized in 1892 and continued with
out a break until the close of the
1917 season. During the initial year
a two-season schedule was played,
but since 1893 the pennant race has
been along the lines of the majors.
Providence, with six championship
pennants to its credit, leads all the
cities, which have at various times
held membership in the organiza
tion. Rochester comes next with five
and Buffalo and Toronto are tied
with four each, while Blnghamton,
Erie, Syracuse, Springfield, Montreal,
Jersey City, Baltimore and Newark
have each captured one titular flag.
Decision Is Important
The outcome of the conference is
likely to have a distinct bearing up
on the decision of other minor
leagues in relation to their plans for
the coming season. Several of these
organizations are in rather an un
certain frame of mind regarding the
financial outlook for baseball on the
smaller circuits during 1918 and are
likely to be swayed, to some extent,
by the example set by the Interna
tional league club owners. Up to
the present time less than half of
the leagues which began the. 1917
season have prepared and promul
gated their schedules for 1918.
Muggsy McGraw Drills
Players Full Limit
j Marliii, Texas, March 21. —With
! the arrival of Roy Johnson, pitcher,
: the Giants' full quota of players is
I now in the training camp. Dave
j Robertson is still on the reserve list
of the New York club, but is ex
! pected to continue in his government
| position. Johnson was obtained by
| the draft route from the McAlester
| (Okla.) club of the Western Associa
! tion. He is a husky looking young
ster. He was out for practice this
afternoon, but was not pushed hard.
"He will do his bit later on," said
McGraw.
Both Arthur Fletcher and Heinie
i Zimmerman were out. and showed
i no ill effects from their slight ail
' rnents of last week.
Thirty-five Giants, together with
i McGraw, were on the Emerson Park
! field. As the conditions were suit
j able for fast work, McGraw drove
; his men with even more impetuosity
i than is his custom.
Pitchers Show Form
i The regular pitchers greatly bene
! fited by their workouts at Reims
| Park under the coaching of George
| Gibson, Sallee and Barnes did espec
; ially well. Hoyt, a Brooklyn school
boy, showed almost midsummer
speed. Sallee used a change of pace
that fooled the heaviest batters,
while Barnes worked a curve ball
until warned by McGraw to "go
easy."
Bunting was taken up for the flrst
| time in the afternoon. The players
: had considerable trouble in laying
i down the ball. O'Neill was stationed
| where he could field the bunted balls
land his quick throws to first base
j were a feature. O'Neill is called the
I "Kerry Patch Tobasco Kid." He is
1 the life of the camp.
| Throwing from the outfield to the
■ home plate was tried by the out
j fielders and Young showed profl-
I ciency in making accurate pegs from
■ deep field. The young Texan is liv
! ing up to expectations of being
i worthy to fill Robertson's shoes.
Good Tib rowing
In Barnes, HubbeU, Causey. Win
ters and Hoyt, the Giants have a
quartet of new pitchers who for
height are just what McGraw finds
most to his liking. Then, with Tes
reau, Benton, Sallee, Smith and Per
i ritt, of the regulars, the present
Giants will surely live up to the
name. The squad will without
doubt, average the tallest pitching
staff of any club ever got together.
A game between the Giants and
soldier team of Camp Bowie will be
played here Saturday.
Steel League Teams to
Battle For Silver Cup,
From President Grayce
A magnificent silver loving cup

for the 1918 season adopted by the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation League.
Golden baseball watch charms will
be presented to the players of the
winning team.
The schedule for the coming sea
son which opens May 11 and closes
September 2, as previously announc
ed, is made up of twice the number
of games played last year, when an
extra game had to be played by the
Bethlehem and Lebanon teams to
break a tie for flrst place.
The circuit this season will be the
same as last, six teams comprising
it as follows: Lebandn, Bethlehem,
