ers; One More Event
Basketball will get its semiwindup
to-night at Chestnut Street Auditor
ium where the local Independents
will play against the Vincome five,
of Philadelphia. Thera will be a
great windup next week. George W.
Mcllhenny, president of the local
basketball association, is arranging
for a Red Cross benefit as a closing
feature. The attraction is likely to
be,, Tech and the Independents.
Vincome will be here to-night
with five great stars, and it will be
the last time this aggregation will
be seen in action. Graff and Mac-
Gregor, formerly of the Jasper East
ern League team, will play forwards,
Longstreet, the lanky center, who is
known to all local fans, will jump
center, while Zahn and Campbell, of
the world champion Greystock team,
will play the guard positions.
Hard Game For Ixx'als
This combination will be a hard
proposition for the local Independ
ents to conquer as the Vincome team
has been playing together with this,
lineup all season. This is the last
game before the big game that will
be staged next Saturday evening
when the Independents and the
Technical team clashes.
The Independents have played and
defeated the best teams of the coun
try since Christmas, having lost but
three games since that and they
should give a good account of them
selves to-night against this all-star
aggregation. Dave McConnell and
Ike McCord have fully recovered
from the grip and will be in to
night's fray. Dancing will follow
the game.

Charles Ebbets Will Not
Stand in Larry Lajoie's Way
Brooklyn, X. Y„ April K.—Charles
Ebbets has decided not to stand in
j_,arry Lajoie's way if the veteran
ball-player cannot be persuaded to
.ioin the Brooklyn club. The owner
of the Dodgers still insists that La
ioie is the property of the Brooklyn
club, which purchased his release
from the Toronto club in a perfectly
legitimate manner, but if Barry has
his heart set on managing the In- ;
dianapolis club, Ebbets will grant '
his wish, in consideration of the
veteran's long service in major league I
baseball.
Ebbets will not yield without an
other effort to get the big French
man to join his club. Lajoie's batt
ing strength is badly needed by the
Dodgers, now that Zach Wheat has
refused to sign. The team has been
none too strong on the offensive in
its spring training games with the
Bed Sox, which has all the more
emphasized the need of a heavy hit
ter like Bajoie, who led the Interna
tional League by a comfortable
margin last season.
Before Bajoie can sign with the
Indianapolis club he will have to re
vert to Tronoto, and James C. Mc-
Giil of Indianapolis, will have to
open negotiations with James J. Me.
Caffney, of Toronto, for Barry's re
lease. McCaffrey will have re
turn to Brooklyn the $3,000 purchase
price, but probably will get as much
from Indianapolis. Lajoie is said to
have been offered SB,OOO a year by
McGill to manage the lloosiers.

Basketball Thrives;
Hazleton to Come Back
llazlclon, Pa., April 6.—There will
be no lack of basketball in Hazleton

More bleachers will be put in the
Feeley Theater Hall, where the
Hazleton State League team staged
its games the last two years. A cage

ning again with 142, but Piatt was
back with 135.
There were 145 participants, and
for the first time this week the sun
shone brilliantly. The shooting,
however, was a contrast to the other
days. Under conditions anything but
suitable to the breaking of targets,
the scores were much better than
yesterday. Thursday, with a breeze
that went through one, twenty-one
shooters broke 140 or better. Yes
terday, with a good warm sun and
no breeze, only eleven shooters bet
tered 140. There is no way of figur
ing- things out in the clay target
game.

in 143 and won fourth place. Harry
C. Hoffman, of Philadelphia, tied with
L. F. Curtis and William 11. Yule, of
Dayton, Ohio, for fifth place with 142.
Sixth place Was a tie between E. C.
Griffith, of Providence, R. 1., and A.
L. Ivins, of Lakewood, with 141.
Hoffman's 142 gave him first trophy
in Clas* B. The Class A~trophy is a
tie between the three who tied for
first place and will be shot for in
the first event in the morning. Mrs.
D. J. Dalton, with 136, won the Class
C trophy and N, Webb, of New Ro
chelle, won the Class D trophy.

team shoo*., now leading 1,378 to
1,360, and with only 500 more tar
gets to shoJt.
Fred Tomlin turned in a run of
l? 8, the best that has been made
thus far. He also has one of eighty
four. Charley Newcomb turned in
ri.ns of fifty-six and sixty. Charley
Vaughan, of Haddonfield, turned in a
sixty-five.
The Lakewood champion, the Ma
plewood Hundred and the Bakewood
Handicap will be shot o-day, and,

given to the high gun on the events.
This trophy is presented by Eugene

LAST OF THE OLD BARE-KNUCK
SHOWING ONE OF

f.m * wv*sL <
Jack McAuliffe, for years lightweight champion of the world, one of
the very last of the old-time bare-knuckle fighters, is here shown il
lustrating one of his deadly punches. Having sidestepped a left jab, he
puts his right under the heart of his opponent. Within the past few
months Mike Donovan, middleweight champion before McAuliffe was
lightweight champion; John L. Sullivan, heavyweight champion, and
Charley Mitchell, the British champion, have died. Perhaps Jim Corbett,
ence heavyweight chapipion, and Kid ljivigne, once lightweight cham
pion, are the only prominent men left who fought with bare knuokles.
They did little of it. McAuliffe doesn't weigh 133 pounds any longer. He
refused when this photo was taken to tell his weight, but it was some
thing over 200 pounds.

CARLISLE BUSY
WITH BASEBALL
High School Athletes Decide
to Drop Out Because
of War
Carlisle, April 6, —Strenuous prac
tice was put in this week by all of
the teams representing local educa
tional institutions in preparation for
the opening of the season which
came to-day, when the Dickinson
nine went against Albright here,
while the Indians and Dickinson
trackmen contested in a dual meet.
The Indian lacrosse players had a
holiday and were at the other events
while the baseball nine journeyed to
Emmitsburg to open with Mt. St
Mary's.
Some changes are expected next
week at both the Indian School and
Dickinson, after the results of the
first contest arc seen. The work
was rushed the early part of the
week and made up for the cut of
Thursday and Friday, due to colder
weather. Neither institution ex
pects to lose men before the present
season closes to the army and plans
are being made accordingly.
Carlisle High Drops Out
After closing a successful basket
ball season, the Carlisle High School
expects to drop from the sports lime
light, Athletes joining the army
and others preparing to go on farms
during this month, have depleted the
ranks so that the end of an exten
sive baseball schedule is temporarily
in abeyance.
Daylight saving will bring summer
baseball to the town it was decided
at a meeting this week, when rep
resentatives met and decided on a
four team league, with games three
times weekly and a picked team from
the league to meet out of town teams
on Saturday. Boiling Springs,
Lindner and the Y. M. C. A. have
entered and an informal Indian team
is also expected to take part after
the close of the regular season at
the school.
Boxing in New Jersey;
Commission Meets Today
Atlantic City, April 6.—Governor
Edge met the boxing commission to
day in Trenton. The board to con
trol the sport in New Jersey in
cludes v John S. Smith, of Atlantic
City, and formerly of Camden, who
will probably be named chairman;
W. E. Gann, of Elizabeth, and Ed
ward S. Crain, of East Orange.
The Governor expressed his views,
and a general policy was outlined.
An avalanche of petitions are ex
pected for clubs throughout the
state, but it is believed that only
a limited number of licenses will be
considered. The selection will be
governed by conditions and prospec
tive outlook for the field.
Mayor Albert 11. Fisher, of Penns
grove, is the first applicant for a
license. Mayor Fisher is back by a
large committee. The Pennsgrove
petition will probably be considered
at Trenton to-day. Atlantic City will
likely support one good club. Com
missioner.Smith has as yet received
no direct bids, although out-of-town
promoters have frequently in the
past expressed their desire to come
to the shore. The bouts must be
held in the city proper, as a city or
dinance prohibits boxing on the
Boardwalk. This denies prospective
promoters the four piers or the two
large theaters. There are many big
halls available, however, and it is
not likely that the sport will in any
way suffer from the restrictions.

promise to be a scarce commodity

similar import.
A normal crop of cherries and ap
