FATE THIS WEEK;

Smaller Circuits Depend on
Decision Reached by the
Internationals
New York. March 25. —The fate of
several of the more prominent east
ern minor leagues hangs in the bal
ance when the International League
goes into session here "Wednesday to
decide whether it will continue to
operate.
With Kd. Barrow definitely kicked
out of the way. the International
t<tands a poor chance of developing
enough nerve to go through with an
other season, but there are a num
ber of determined persons who de
clare they are ready and eager to
take another whirl at the game, with
the league made up from a different
standpoint.
The New York State I/eague and
the Eastern League are awaiting ac
tion by the big eastern minor. Jack
Dunn and one or two supporters are
lomtng to New York primed to se
cede if the International goes out,
and to make an effort to reorganize
by ' including seme cities without
baseball.
Some I.CHKIICS In Good Shape
The minor leagues are doing much
better than had been expected when
the leagues held their annual ses
sion. Several that had been expect
ed to pass in their checks showed de
cided signs of life.'
Compared with the International
League, the American . Association,
rated its equal in the West, is going
ahead with a lightly curtailed sched
ule. The Pacific Coast League, rated
along the same lines in the far West,
is going ahead mainly as per usual.
A statement from each minor
league president, who cared to ex
press an opinion, has been gathered
with the following result:
The Virginia League has not yet
de'eided what it will do, but is ex
tremely optimistic with the change
in opinion that has .come from the
Government support of sports.
The New York State League is
ewaiving action by the International,
planning to take over some cities now
controlled by the International, if the
latter quits.
The Georgia-Alabama League has
firned up its toes and will not oper
ate this season.
The International Laague will meet
Wednesday in New York 'and decide
.if it will operate.
The American Association will op
erate under a 140-game schedule.
Snlar.v I.imlt Cut
The Western League's salary limit
has been eut and 140 games will be
• Played.
The Texas League believes the best
season in years is in prospect and is
makin* V "angements looking to that
•>m:. J. W. Morris, president, writes
tht-t he expects the greatest attend
ance the league has ever known.
The aviation and other training
tamps will come in for a good share
of attention from the clubs.
The Pacific Coast League will op
erate as usual.
Start Work on Track
For Big Relay Carnival;
Naval Entries Large
Philadelphia, March 25.—With
the arrival of spring, officials of the
twenty-fourth annual Penn relay
carnival, which will be held at
Franklin Field, Philadelphia, April
26 and 27. have commenced working
on the field to get it in shape for
the games. With good weather and
the work that will be done on the
track, it is expected that it will be
in as good condition as ever before
and the standard of competition will
be as keen as in former years.
Increased interest is being shown
in the military and naval events
which this year will play the leading
part on the two-day program. Camp
Wissahickon of Cape May is among
the latest to be heard from. The entry
of a team from this camp was re
ceived yesterday. The Norfolk Naval
Training Station, at Hampton
Roads; Philadelphia Navy Yard,
Camp Dix, and the Fifteenth Infan
try stationed at Chester, Penn., have
all promised to send representatives.
At Camp Grant, Great Lakes Naval
Training Station, 111., Camp Devens
and the First Naval Training Sta
tion. Boston, efforts are now being
made fo raise funds to send teams
to the games.
Word has been received from
Joseph T. England, secretary of the
South Atlantic States Intercollegiate
Athletic Association, that represent
atives of the association will turn
out in force for the relay champion
ship which will be held on the final
day of the carnival. England's as
surances came after he had been
in touch with the various colleges
of the association. Johns Hopkins,
Georgetown. Georgia Tech, Virginia
Poly Institute and the University of
Virginia have already consented to
enter teams for this title race.

Strong Interest in
First Boxing Show;
Program Looks Good
All Bouts to Be Within Rules Mentioned as Part of
Proposed Legislation—Local Promoters Insist on
Clean Sport—Local Boys Are on the Bill
If the Pennsylvania Legislature!
enacts a boxing bill, this city prom
ises to be quite active in ring sport.
Those who now promote exhibitions
show a desire to keep within the
law. This feature is already in evi
dence at many shows throughout
the state. Pittsburgh is having high
class shows conducted along linos
mentioned as part of plans of those
interested in a state boxing bill.
In Philadelphia managers who fa
vor state legislation are trying to
educate the public to the belief ihat
boxing is not brutal. Every effort
possible is being made to eliminate
objectionable features.
Present at Harrisburg's first show
of the season to-morrow night will
be Jack Hanlon, of the Olympia
Club. Philadelphia. "This is one or
ganization that has been offering
something real in boxing shows.
Manager Ilanlon assisted the railroad
boys in arranging the bill for to
morrow night.
He wants Harrisburg on the cir
cuit that will furnish clean ring
sport. His presence here to-mor
row with that of Frank ("Pop")
O'Brien, has added increased inter
est in the show. It is understood
that if this city shows a big demand
for the best that can be had in box
ing exhibitions. Jack Hanlon will
help the local associations to get
good talent. Due to the lateness In
starting local exhibitions there may
be only one more show this season,
but if nothing interferes plans will
be started early in the fall.
May Get Soldier Boxers
If another show is possible Ihis
season, it is understood that efforts
will be made to have on the next
program a number of thp classy box
ers now in Army training camps.
Boxing is popular with soldiers and
backed by Army officials, and Har
risburg is located within easy reach
of camps where ring stars are quite
prominent just now.
The bill offered for to-morrow
night is strictly a local enterprise,
backed by the Motive Power Athle
tic Association. Railroad employes

Trenton lost to Harrisburg Inde

are boosting the show with a liberal
purchase of tickets.
There will be thirty rounds of fast
fighting. In the windup, scheduled
for ten rounds, Charlie (Toughey)
Murray will meet K. O. Joe O'Don
nell, of Gloucester, N. J. These hoys
have a reputation and it is going to
be some windup. Big crowds are
coming from York and Lancaster to
see this show and are especially in
terested in the closing feature.
Strong Scmlwlndup
The semitvindup will be just ;.<>
strong as the last offering. Joe Mc-j
Carron, who has been anxious to get
acquainted with Harrisburg fans, is
scheduled to meet Sammy Schiff. a
local boy. The latter has proved his
worth at recent snows given by the
Motive Power Association and under
the management of J. E. McNaight
will try for honors. He "lost to Joe
McCarron at Lancaster and claimed
the decision was unjust.
This is what brings these boys to
gether in Harrisburg. He has fought
four hard fights and won them all.
Schiff is anxious to make good.and
will be going fast from the first bell.
It is probable that if he comes
through all right he will get a chal
lenge from one or more local boys
and also from a Lancaster lad.
Schiff wants to meet all comers and
for this reason he is not going to let
McCarron crimp his chances.
Fast Preliminaries
Much interest is also manifested in
the preliminaries. Nat Isaacman,
the plucky Harrisburg boy who has
been showing great form at the lo
cal athletic association membership
SIIOWB, 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 the boys show
their usual form, there is likely to
be a short battle. They are bitter
rivals.
Seats are on sale at George W.
Bogar's, 12-14 North Market Square.
This store will be open to-night to
accommodate those who work during
the day and want to get tickets be
fore the show.

DEATH CLAIMS
MIKE DONOVAN
Teddy Roosevelt's Former
Boxing Instructor Suc
cumbs to Pneumonia
New York, March 25. —"Profes-
sor" Mike Donovan, prize lighter and
many many years boxing instructor
at the New York Athletic Club, died
at 12.30 yesterday morning at St.
Francis' Hospital, in the Bronx. He
had been taken there several days
ago suffering with pneumonia. He
was 7 4 years old.
The famous pugilist and instruc
tor, who had for some tipie devoted
his services to the interests of the
government as a recruiting speaker,
took a turn for the worst about 4
p. m. Saturday. At 10.30 he became
unconscious and never recovered.
His married daughter and son-in-law
were with him from early in the of
ternoon until he died.
Donovan's career in the ring car-L
ricd him over tlie period from 1 Stiti.i
when he fought Bill Crowley at'
Pittsburgh with bare knuckles, to
1888, when lie beat Jack Dempsey
in six rounds and retired still undc-,
featcd middleweight champion.
Almost until the time he became i
sick Donovan was a familiar figure
in the "gym" of the New York Ath-;
letlc Club. He had been master in-,
structor of boxing at the institution
fer a generation and a half and In
that capacity had had as pupils not
a few figures of national prominence,
including former President Roose-i
velt. "The Professor" retired as in-1
structor not long ago, but he found
it impossible to remain away from,
the gym of the athletic club for
any length of time.
At the beginning of the Civil War
he enlisted In the Seventy-first 'lll- 1
nois Volunteers and he saw action
during the four years of fighting.
It was In the year following thei
close of the war that Donovan began ;
his ring career, when he met and l
defeated Billy Crowley, at Pitts- 1
burgh. After a number of minor
bouts during the successive years he
met Jim Murray and Driscoll. of
Troy, in 1873, and in 1877, 1878 and
1879 in California he battled against!
Bill McClellan, who was considered,
one of the foremost middleweight*. 1
In 1 879 Doltovan urranged a bout I
with John L. Sullivan, later heavy
weight champion. Under the agree-!
ment by which the fight was staged l
Sullivan was to box at a benefit to,
be given to Mike, and the latter In
return was to aid him in arranging l
other bouts. Sullivan was virtual-'
ly unknown at tho time. The twoj
pugilists met at the Howard Athen-I
eum, in Boston, and Sullivan sur-j
prised the fight fans by turning out,
according to one of the witnesses, j
"to be a whale o£ a lighting man." |
Mike, however, proved a match for;
him and showed himself able to'
withstand the onslaughts of the lat- j
er champion, although he broke liisi
right hand in doing so.
In 1884. when the New York A. C.
was looking for an Instructor, Dono-j
van met Walter Watson in a battle |
for the job in the old Clarendon Hall, j
Mike was the victor and held the j
position a number of years.

St. I.ouix, March 25.—Douglas

Parking in Center of Market
Square Now Is Suggested
Need of additional traffic regula
tions for parking in Market Square
may result In the Passage of an or
dinance by Council compelling auto
ists to park their machines in the
center of the Square instead of along
the curb-line, It was said to-day. A
number of conferences have been
held at police headquarters to discuss
traffic conditions, Captain Joseph P.
Thompson recommending such action.
If a measure i£ passed directing
owners of vehicles to park in the
center of the Square, better protec
tion will be necessary for persons
waiting on streetcars. It may be de
cided to place a low curbing around
the safety zone, or to stretch chains
attached to standards.
Traffic officers also haw suggest-
I ed a police regulation compelling pe
j destrians to cross streets only at in
tersections, and imposing a fine for
violations. According to some of the
city authorities, serious accidents
would occur almost dally but for the
extreme care which autolsts take In
driving over downtown streets, as
scores of persons cross at any point
they choose, frequently stepping al
most directly In the path of an ap
proaching automobile or streetcar.

"We had been friends a long time
and I had asked her Jo marry me
several times, and that morning she
said she would agree to it if I
knocked a home run that afternoon.
I don't know whether that was the
real reason or not, but that after
noon I hit the bull sign and won a
