in a local ring since late in 1917. he
iaving been stationed at the Wissa
liickcn Barracks. Cape May. X. .T.,
and his layoff from the padded mitt
erame was evident in his work last

Chaney forced the fighting from
the start and with a short right
iind uppercut he floored Johnny
right after the handshake. Ray did
not take the count, but the blow'ap-
Darently hurt and slowed him up.
for from that moment Chaney ap
jeared master of the situation.
Chaney • tried hard to end the bout
lefore the allotted six rounds had

i well-protected defense and an oc
asional flash of aggressive work,
nanaged to stall off the Baltimore

Chaney opened the sixth round
vith a furious rush, driving Johnny

Scranton Refuses to
Give Up Good Cash;
No League This Year
Scranton, April 2. —Baseball boos
ters are not biting at the bait offered
by J. H. Farrell, head of the new
Class AA, baseball league. They
know it is time to lay off. The gen-
eral belief here is that the money
that will be lost by the new league
could be put to a better advantage
by buying Liberty Bonds.
In an additional statement regard
ing tho proposed new Liberty Class
AA baseball league, which is sup
posed to include this city and Wil
kes-Barre, Robert W. Allen, presi
dent of the Scranton baseball team,
said "that in so far as the local
owners are concerned they know
nothing of the promoters' plans and
that there isn't a chance of Scranton
being represented.
"If Class B ball wouldn't pay here
in war time conditions, I fail to see
where Class AA would have a chance
to live," said Mr. Allen in discussing
the proposition. "Anyway, the New
Vork State league has not been offi
cially disbanded as yet. and even if
Scranton, Syracuse, Wilkes-Barre,
Binghamton and Elmira were inter
ested in the proposed new league. I
don't see where anything could be
accomplished until the affairs of the
old league were first closed up."
Mr. Allen said he has heard noth
ing from Mr. Farrell in reference to
the new league, of which he is to be
the president. Ho did receive a
letter from Jack Dunn, of Baltimore,
about the plan, but has been too
busy to answer it. That the new
league might land new owners here
in view of launching the plan is, of
course, possible, but as yet no one
has consulted Mr. Allen about leas
ing the grounds—a step that would
be vitally important to any move
contempated.
The local magnate is satisfied that
ANGLERS MUST
PAY LICENSE
It Is a New York State Law'
Governing Fresh Water
Streams
Local anglers who have been mak
l ing annual trip's to New York State
j in search of trout, will have to pay
an additional license this year. A i
(dispatch from Albany, says:
"Fishermen, who are not residentsj
of the state of New York and who j
wish to angle in the fresh waters of '
| the state, must hereafter secure a
1 non-resident fishing license, accord- j
ing to an amendment of the conser- !
j ration law signed by Governor Whit- j
I man. Licenses may be procured j
| from any county, city or town clerk'
! lor the sum of S2.GO, arid are good '
, for the calendar year.
'"Formerly the non-resident fish
j ing license law applied only to fresh
j waters forming a part oi the state
| boundary or through which the state
[boundary runs. The new provisions
|of the law reruire that a person
who is a non-resident of the state
: must be in possession of a non-resi
j dent license to angle in any of the
I state waters.
Must Give Notice
| "The law is to be strictly enforced
j by the Conservation Commission, ac
cording to Llewellyn Legge, chief of
I the division of fish and game, who
I has issued an order to all game pro
tectors. including E. Jf O'Connor of
Chemung, directing them upon meet
ing fishermen to ascertain if they are
non-residents of the state, and if so
and it is found that they have failed
to procure a non-resident ffching li
cense to proceed against them, ac
cording to the law.
Kxompt Boys
"Persons under sixteen 'years of
age are, however, exempt from the
operation of the law. Another ex
ception is made in the case of the
i waters which form the international
| boundary with the Dominion of Can
dida. If non-residents of Canada
i may fish on the Canadian side of
i the international boundary line
j without a Canadian fishing license.
! the reciprocal privilege is granted
: to non-residents of the State of New
t York to fish on the New York side
of the boundary line without ob
taining the non-resident fishing li
cense."

NEW YORKERS ON

I Athletic twirler, who when his arm |
went bad, developed into a first base

the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany.
Discovered by Jack Dunn
"Lefty" was brought out by Jack
Dunn, manager of the Baltimore
Orioles, who also developed Allen

of the Richmond club of the Inter

Harry Fritz, former Trl-State star,
who was with Connie Mack a short
time, and played in the Interna
tional and New York State leagues,
has organized a unit at league Is
land Navy Yard. Games have been
scheduled with college and
strong semi-professional nines. Fritz
is captain and will be found at his
old position at third base.
Harry Fritz was always known as
a clean-cut player. He was a good
hitter and fast lielder. The only
trouble with this high school' Star,
was his "quitting habit." If he be
came tired of a job, there was no
argument. He simply refused to
play. His popularity in Philadelphia
always enabled Fritz to land a job
anytime.
From a strictly Michigan view
point, there can be no such thing as
too much Johnson in the Penn Re

Ann Arbor of that name will wear
the Maize and Blue in the special
events on Franklin Field next
month, and united Michigan banks

of his ability.
Major league baseball starts Mon

Zoellin of Michigan, Cleminshaw of

Continuing Its policy of the past

While hundreds of trapshooting and
