ing Is Promised; Local Boys
Promise Lively Argument
With the arrival to-day of the out
of-town boxers, local right fans are
assured of an interesting program
to-night at Chestnut Street Auditor
ium. There had been some stories
that one of the preliminaries would
be changed. The Philadelphia con
tingent reached the city at noon and
Joe McCarron arrived at 1 o'clock.
Tlvis will be the first show by the
Motive Power Athletic Association.
Indications point to a large crowd in
attendance. It Is an expensive bill,
but Manager William H. Runk gave
word that he would get the best that
could be had. and the names Indicate
that he has started well.
Strong: AVI ml-up Feature
Ijoeal patrons are much interested
in the outcome of the ten-round
bout. It will be a .battle between
Charlie (Toughey) Murray, of Pitts
burgh, and K. O. Joe O'Donnell, of
illoucester, N. J. These boys have
met before and the decisions have
not been satisfactory. They were
anxious to get away from the white
lights in the big city and have a
neutral crowd pick a winner, it will
be a ten-round argument.
Sammy Schiff, who was announced
to-day by his manager as fit for a
long fight, will go eight rounds with
Joe McCarron, of Allentown. There
have been numerous disputes about
these lads and to-night is likely to
be a settlement that will leave no
chance for further argument.
The preliminaries will include the
popular Lancaster boys, Sam Kautz
tnd Young Russell, and Bat Isaac
man, of this city, and Kid Crow, of
Altoona. The big show starts at
8.15.
Blue Ridge Managers to
Make Big Cut in Salaries
Ifajterstown, Md., March 26.—-In

Two Big Colleges Will
Not Compete in Regatta
.\iinai>olis. Md., March 26.—Tlue
Naval Academy athletic officials
have learned unofficially that neith
er Yale nor Cornell will enter crews
in the American regatta to be rowed
on the Severn, May 18. It is believed
that the entries will be confined to
Columbia University, University of
Pennsylvania. Syracuse, the Naval
Academy and probably Princeton,
with the possibility of at least one
or more western crews.
The decision of several of the big
rowing colleges to stay out of the
big event may, however, lead to some
dual events on the Severn. It is set
tled that the University of Pennsyl
vania will send varsity second and
freshman crews to Annapolis for a
race on April 20, and other races
are likely.

individual scorer with 280 points in
the 12 games played by Central, and
gives him an average of 23.33 per

er than tallied by Captain Nyquist,
of Heading, who is second with 259
points for an average of 21.58 points
for each game. Captain Huston, of
Tech, is third with 20.20 points per
contest. He took part in 10 games
and tallied 202 points. These three
players were the only tossers in the
league to score 200 or more points,
(iivat Foul Shooter
Frank's ability tfom the foul mark
gave him the honor. He leads all
others with 194 free tosses. Miller,
the Lebanon guard, far surpassed all
others from the field, tossing in 73
field goals in 12 an average
of over six per game. It was his
magnificent playing that made Leb
anon the runner-up. Last season
they held the same position.
All of the teams in the league fin
ished their schedule with the excep
tion of York and Allentown. York
refused to so to Allentown the other
Saturday night, because of the re
turn trip to York would have to be
made on Sunday. As a result, when
the league officials meet, the game
will be forfeited to Allentown.

Lew Tendler Has Easy
Time With Eddie Wallace
Philadelphia, March 2C. Lew
Tendler so far outclassed Ed
die Wallace in the wind-up at Olym
pia last night that after the bout
had gone two rounds it ceased to be
interesting'. In the first two rounds
Tendler showed that he was the
master of the Brooklyn lad, and
there was never at any time after
that a chance for Wallace to win.
He was merely a punching-gab for
the Philadelphian and, through
holding and running, he managed
to stay the limit. In the fifth and
sixth rounds Wallace made rallies
and landed several stiff punches to
Tendler's face and body, but he was
so tired that the blows had litLle
effect on the local lightweight. In
the first round Tendler brought the
blood from Eddie's nose, and he
kept it bleeding to the end. In the
fourth round Eddie's mouth began
to swell up and it was badly putted
in the last round.
Mack Buys Pitcher
Perry From Atlanta
Jacksonville, Fla., March 26.
There was nothing out of the usual
order in the practice of the Athletics.
The best scoring team in the
league would be made up of Frank
as center; Huston at one forward,
with Beck at a guard. Miller, of
Lebanon, would be the other guard,
with Captain Nyquist, of Heading, at
a forward. This combination would
give Harrisburg three of the five
players.
Teoli Strong on Offensive
Tech deserved to win the pennant
because of their great offensive and
defensive play. In both departments
they lead all of their opponents.
Tech lead the league from the out
start, only once being headed by
York, which occurred February 13.
The following day the Yorkers lost,
while Tech won at- Allentown, thug

the honor of running
up the highest score of the season,
while Steeiton held Allentown to the
lowest number of points in one
gome.
This is the third season for the
league, and Harrisburg has succeed
ed in capturing the laurels on two
occasions. Central won the first
year. With the Tech team practi
cally composed of underclassmen,
the Maroon aggregation should re
peat for several years to come.
All in all, the season has been the
best of any of the preceeding ones,
and fans throughout the circuit gave
it-liberal patronage. The final aver
ages:
Morning and afternoon the entire
squad Journed to Hose field and
! put in a strenuous day's work along
conventional lines. Morq.- attention
r was paid as usual to batting than
■ any other side of the game, al
■ though the regular infield ended
I both sessions by a snappy exhibition
of fielding and throwing.
3 The second game of the exhibition
' series with Pittsburgh will be played
I I to-day. Mack will most likely work
P ; Geary. Gregg and Myers against the
. I Pirates. This trio appears in better
r | condition than any in the squad.
Manager Mack announced that, he
I had completed, arrangements with
lithe Atlanta Club for the purchase
1 i of Pitcher Perry, who did exception
al ally fine work with that club in 1916
Perry was with both the Boston and
Chicago Clubs last year, but did not
* receive, according to Mack, a fair
'(trial with either club. Mack thinks
, he will add strength to his weak
I pitching staff. He has wired Perry

NEW GAME
IN MANY STATES
Hunting and Fishing Regula
tions to Re Simplified by
Revision and Codification
An important matter in these days
of complicated game legislation,
when laws are amended at nearly!
every legislative session'and scattered
through several volumes of the sta
tutes, is to simplify them as far as
possible by revision or codification,
so as to bring them together, elimi
nate conflicting provisions and sim
plify the wording.
Important progress in this direc
tion has been made in at least 3ix
states: Maine, Pennsylvania and
Wisconsin have codified their entire
game laws; New Hampshire and
Utah have revised their statues, and
Minnesota has appointed a commis
sion to prepare a codification of the
game laws.
Of several radical changes made in
administration of the laws, probably
'The most .important is the establish
ment of a department of game and
fish in Nevada. In Illinois the game
and fish commission was abolished
and the work placed under the De
partment of Agriculture, with a chief
game and fish warden in direct
charge.
One Commissioner
In Maine a single commissioner of
I inland fisheries and game has been
| substituted for the commission of
three members which has been in
i charge of the work since 1899. In
Mississippi the law enacted in 1916
I creating the Department of Game
i and Fish and placing the work in
I charge of a commissioner was sub-
I mltted to the voters Tinder a referen
j dum petition and rejected at the gen
j ral election, thus leaving the state
without any general officer In charge

The articles provide that Willard

will depend entirely on the articles

Fulton, attired in a frock coat and
carrying a cane, faced a battery of
cameras with the champion after
the articles were signed.
"I guess we are a pair of the big

A SCHOOLGIRL'S IiETTER
"It was only a little river, almost
a brook; It was called the Yser. One
could talk from one side to the other
without raising one's voice, and the
birds could fly over it with one sweep
iof their wings. And on the two
banks there were millions of men,
the one turned toward the other,
eye to eye. But the distance which
separated them was greater than the
stars in the sky; it was the distance
which sepurates right from Injustice.
"The ocean Is so vast that the sea
gulls do not dare to cross It. During
seven days and seven nights the
great steamships of America, going
at full speed, drive through the deep
waters before the lighthouses of

one side to the other hearts are
touching."—Letter of a French
schoolgirl quoted by Dr. John H.

Battling Johnny Dundee
New Haven, March 26. Johnny
Dundee and Willie Jackson fought
fifteen rounds to a draw at the arena
here last night. That is, Dave Fitz
gerald said it was a draw. Dave
was in a distinct and unpopular mi
nority.
In the opinion of nearly every
body else in the building, Dundee
won by as great a margin as it is
possible for a man to win without
knocking his opponent out. The
Italian had the better of ten rounds.
Jackson scored in three, while two
were about even. Jackson was bad
ly cut up and bled almost continuous
ly from the second round on.
Dundee suffered a cut eye in the
twelfth round and that was all. Dun
dee outboxed the Bronx lad almost
from start to finish, outhit him and
had him worried at frequent times.
Still Fitzgerald said it was a draw,
and Fitzgerald is an honorable man.
