'-y. / mm * WITCHSJ/J# irUS I=>T^7VIK N'cw York, April 5. —The sporting men of the country join with those of England in mourning the death of Charley Mitchell, formerly heavy weight champion of England. I Although classed as a heavyweight, Mitchell .never weighed up to the : minimum now set at 158 pounds. ! When he fought the unconquerable John L., in Chantilly, France, he j weighed at ringside 154 pounds. The champion was 50 pounds heavier and two inches taller, but Mitchell Three Real Leaders For Tecli High Sports Technical high school has three real leaders in William Fortna, Wil liam Johnson and Glenn Beard, who will manage the football team, the gun club and the tennis squads. All three lads are busy arranging sched ules for the Maroon teams. They won out over a large field of candi dates. Manager "Bill" Fortna is having trouble to persuade a sufficient num ber ol' high school teams to oppose Tech on the gridiron this coming fail. As a result, it may be neces sary for him to fill the schedule with contests aguinst several preparatory schools and college reserves. Tech is finding it more difficult to arrange a series of games this year, than ever before. With all the boys of Harrisburg coming to Tech, the city should have a big winner. Game Each Saturday Efforts are being made to have a game in Harrisburg every Saturday with the exception of the contest at Greensburg. This will mean that Tech will have all but one of its games at home. "Bill" is a college prep student, who can play basket ball, is a clever pitcher at baseball, and his report cards show a goodly number of "A's." Glenn Beard has been a big factor in tennis since Tech adopted this sport. He has always been one of the mainstays of the team. Last season, he was assistant manager of ♦he basketfall team. This year he managed the victorious Varsity bas ketball quintet. His popularity with the student body is demonstrated by the fact that he is the only Tech lad ever to be given the honor of managing two Tech teams in one year. "Bill" Johnson will lead the Tech Academy Basketball Team to Play Hard Schedule Harrisburg Academy will hav e an interesting but hard schedule for the baseball season. In the lineup will be a number of last season's stare. Coach Gavin and Manager Steinmer arc out with the squad dally. The schedule follows: April 13—Gettysburg Academy,, at home. p.

Mitchell began his pugilistic career when he was 18 years old, fighting an open air battle with Bob Cun ningham in Birmingham, England, and scored a knockout. He then went to London where he encount ered Bill Kennedy. They fought a 30-round bloody battla-. to a draw. His next notable tight was with Baily Gray, who went down before the ' Boy" in 11 rounds. Mitchell was always ready to meet anyone, pro viding the cash was right. He never worried about a defeat. trapshooters under the direction of Mr. Shreiner.

The Rosewood Athletic Club with Karl Killinger as manager, was given a franchise in the Allison Hill Twi light League at the weekly meeting last evening at the Hill freight sta tion of the Heading railroad. The admission of the Rosewood aggre gation will mean that the circuit will be composed of Rosewood, Galahad, Reading and Hick-A-Thrifts. The change indicates that the teams will probably be more evenly balanced than ever. One of the big questions discuss ed was the matter of arranging for the finances of the league. Patrons of the league who enjoy this sport gratis will be asked to give their financial support to the league as in flormer years. Increased cost of supplies will mean that the organi zation will need mo it# coin than ever. Seven-lulling Games Games of seven innings duration with the contests starting at 6.30 will be placed. In case of a tie at the end of the seventh inning, the t tie-off will be played. The league will open May 0. , C. 1-loward Reel, president; E. E. Knauss, vice-president; A. H.

Players are not break- ' ing their necks to get a berth in the i new organization. : Franchise owners in the New i f York State League are trying to get I ] an explanation as to the right of J. i, H. Parrel 1 to head another baseball | organisation. What about the New i J York State League ownerships? Has he tendered his resignation or secur ed permission to lead a new organi zation? There is a loud cry over the , Farrell circuit to keep away from ■ the game this season. j A dispatch from Scranton says ] that Bill Coughlin the veteran, is ; going back to the baseball game. He . has sold out his business and is seek- ; ing a berth as a manager. Veteran ! • "Bill" never knows when he has had j enough.
