The winners bunched their hits in
the first and sixth innings when they
obtained clusters of runs each time.
From the moment that Waltz faced
Shay in the first inning the contest
was never in doubt. Waltz was hit
by the pftcher and stole second, and
the merry chase was on. While
Shay's support was at times wobbly,
he was hit hard.

LEW TENDLER
SHADES CLINE
Soldier Bartfield Also Gets
Decision at Shibe Park
Over Harry Greb
Lew Tendler, the Philadelphia fav
orite and demon lightweight, out
fought Patsy Cline, of New York, in
six rounds last evening at Shibe
Park, before 12,000 spectators.
Soon after the start of the fifth,
Tendler spun his left into Cline's face
and crossed a right on the side of his
head. Cline came back with a right
uppercut that found its mark on
Lew's ear.
Lew did a little forcing of his own
and forced Cline back against the
ropes. They stood in the middle of
the ring and swung for more than a
minute. Neither would hack up. The
crowd cheered like wild as the bell
rang, with Cline on the long end.
They came out of their corners in
the last round and immediately went
into a clinch. Cline buckled a right
to Tendler's head, but Tendler cajne
baik and held him even for a while,
dnly to have Cline force him up
against the ropes again. They were
slugging wildly at the final bell.
As the crowd rushed on the field
Tendler WHS surrounded by hundreds
of enthusiasts. In this round Cline
forced Tendler against the ropes and
slugged whenever Lew saw fit.
Tendler's work in the last minute
and a half of fighting gave him the
decision, as the fight was about even
up to that time.
This was only part of the big all
star show. Soldier Bartrteld, of Brook
lyn, proved too clever for his heavier
opponent, Harry Greb, of Pittsburgh,
and in the other bout Frankie Calla
han, of Brooklyn, won as he pleased
from Phil Bloom, another Brooklyn
ite. Bloom was substituting for
Chaney, of Baltimore, who was ill
and could not appear.
Bartfield had three of the six
rounds, two were even and one went
to Greb.
There was nothing really decisive
in Bartfield's victory, but he virtual
ly won it with a left backhand blow
that caught Greb whenever he tried
it. Greb, who usually depends on his
right, could not get set. Bartfield
stepping in and out and parrying
with him in such a way as to upset
all his plans.
! yhere were no clean knockdowns,
! although Greb went to one knee in
tfle first round from a left to the
body.
As an appetizer, Joe Wright, of
Quakertown, gave Indian Russell, of
the U. S. Navy a thorough combing,
dropping his cold in the second
round.

Red Cross Has Visitor
Who Seeks Corn Lotion
These are days when the Red Cross
Sust fill the universal need, declares
rs. Herbert E. Lucas, newly-appoint
ed cashier of the Harrlsburg Chapter,
American Red Cross.
"I was sitting at my desk yester
day," Mrs. Lucas related to a Tele
graph reporter, "when a man came
in, inquiring whether thla was the
Red Cross room. When he. learned
the answer to his question, he asked
for collodium, telling me he had a
sore bunion. Of course, I had to ex
plain to him that it was not a free
dispensary and that the hospital was
three flocks south of the rooms."
jfAROUND THE BASES |
Duke Whatyumaycallim, the cham
pion Hawaiian swimmer is having
his feet insured for $50,000, an ex
pensive pair of fins, 'alrigh# If they
insure according to size we know a
ball player on the Steelton team that
would have to dig deep for a policy.
Leave it to the Southern sports for
something new in game hunting.
Louisiana is visited by the greenhead
mallard, which leaves in the spring
for the North. Also by another spe
cies of mallard, known as the summer
mallard, or Florida duck, which
spends its summer in Louisiana and
winters in Mexico and Central
America. It leaves Louisiana upon
the approach of cold weather. Stan
ley Clisby Arthur, ornithologist of
the Conservation Commission* of
Louisiana, is now authority for the
statement that the state has "Bur
banked" the wild duck, the cross of
which has "set," and they have pro
duced a duck that will remain in the
state the year round.
The universal participation of
Army and Navy in baseball has caus
ed some funny Incidents, as the one
they tell on the colonel of a colored
regiment, two of whose companies
were having a battle on the regimen
tal diamond. Disgusted at one of the
soldier's poor playing, the colonel, an
old bi 11 player himself, took his
place, no one objecting of course. At
the bat the colonel was given a base
on balls. He noted that the men on
the coaching lines kept silent while
he was on the bases, and after he
had made the circuit he remonstrat
ed.
'See here," he exclaimed, slipping
out of his coat. "I've taken off my
shoulder straps now and you fellows
want to treat me just as if I was a
private." •
Again the dblonel was at bat. He
hit the ball and started for first.
"Run. you gimpy legged, sawed of!
mud turtle. Run you
miserable howled one of!
the coachers.
The colonel reached first safely,
turned and regarded the coacher for
an instant, then left the base, walked
over to where his discarded blouse
lay and put it on. He said nothing,
but the negroes understood. It was
too much.
"When Billy Wamby goes to the
Army," says Manager Lee Fohl. "I will
put Terry Turner In his place and
the team will be just as strong as
ever."
Cleveland fans fael sure that the
Indians will win the 1918 pennant,
unless Uncle Sam kills the game with
an adverse ruling in the "work or
fight" situation. They reason that
Washington has dropped behind and
will never catch up, that the Yanks
are too slowfooted. and that the Red
Sox will lose their present margin
ortce they hit the road.

and he usually took a course in "po
litical science" or "music" while he '
was rolling up athletic honors for his
institution. Time has changed things
a lot and the boy who combines
brains and brawn is no rarity.
The late Gordon Brown, captain of
one of the greatest football teams I
ever turned out at Yale, was one of
the early examples of the top-notch
student and athlete.
Jim Hogan, also deceased, was an- i
other great Yale athlete, who was
right up at the top in his studies.
Littauer. one of the stars of the
last Columbia football team, has just
been awarded high honors in the Col

the course there is a very stiff one.
Allan Swede, of Mercersburg Aca
demy. holder of the interschoiastic
one and two-mile records, won the
prize for leading his class in scholar
ship. He found time for studies and
athletics in his off moments when he'
was not selling newspapers, handling |
laundry arvd waiting on tables in the j
school dining room to pay his way j
througji school.
Roger Shale, one of the best little
golfers ever developed in the Depart- j
ment of Justice in Washington, tells !
this* one:
."A doctor had a rather ancient.
Irishman for his caddy. One day the j
caddy took sick and the doctor pre- j
scribed for him. The next day he '
called on his patient, finding, to his
surprise, that there was no real im
provement in his condition.
"Patrick," asked the medical per
son. dtare you taking the pills every
the tablespoonful of whisky

"YVell, doctor," replied the caddy, j
"I'm a little bit behind with the pills, |
but I'm three days ahead with the j
whisky."
Talk about hard luck in baseball, i
who can .beat th(^ —pitcher strikes J

inning and sees each one score!
Clinton Rogge. who later on did a j
little flinging for the Pittsburgh t
Feds, was on the mound on this par
ticular day for a college team within j
the confines of Michigan. The back- j
stop was a 115-pounder, utterly un
able to cope with the speed that
Rogge generated. •
Rogge struck out the first man on
three pitched balls, but the catcher
dropped the third strike and the bat
ter beat the throw to first. The next i
three clubbers also fanned, but each j
arrived safely on first through the'
medium of a "muffed third strike, the |
first of the four fan victims being j
forced home.
Batter No. 5 bunted. The third
baseman grabbed the ball and heaved j
it toward home for a force-out. But
his throw was high and it went ker
flooie toward the fence to the right
of the grandstand. Before the horse
hide was recaptured three men had I
scored and the buntee was camping |
on the third sack.
Uncle Sam Should Take
Over the Boxing Game
The outrageous inposition last j
night at Madison Square Garden :
on a multitude of spectators who j
paid high to witness boxing for j
the benefit of Army athletic funds !
shows that boxing should be
taken over by Uncle Sam. He
has taken over the big railroads
of the country and is conducting
them in a successful financial and
practical manner, and will soon
probably take full control of all
the large telegraph and telephone J
companies, there is no good reason j
why the government should not j
take full charge of the boxing
(fame, especially during the war.
> This suggestion may seeui
rather illogical and Illusory to
most people, but it is quite
feasible and practical. Boxing
under the present disorganized
condition is not progressive nor
productive of good results.
No sport can thrive and make
much headway without proper
control and organization. Fisti
anna is really the only game that
is not conducted by a governing
body. Champions are allowed to
majte their own weights, flght
when the spirit or a big financial
inducement moves them. They
have become absolute dictators
and have no regard for rules of
reason whatsoever. They have no
consideration for the public and
should be either regulated or
eliminated.

Great Boxing Show at
New York Is a Fizzle
Professional boxers thoroughly In
sulted a hyUge audience last night at
Madison Square Garden where many
thousands paid big prices to see high
class boxing, the receipts of which
were for Uncle Sam. The star bout
which was advertised from Atlantic
to Pacific never matured, although
Billj Mlske and Jack Dempsey ap
peared in the ring. Dempsey was
paraded around to prove his claim
that he had a sprained ankle, and
Mlske trifled a few rounds with
George Ash, of Philadelphia.
The other great luminary, Benny
Leonard, was a disappointment,
tapping some uninteresting volleyß
with Willie Jackson, who is a
contender for the title. Leonard
looked to be far the superior in all
features of the game. Another cause
for complaint by the fans was that
Packy McFarland did not meet Jack
Britton, as advertised, but sparred
a little with Danny Fields, of the
Naval Militia. The only stirring
feature of this hugely advertised af
fair was a bout between Augie Rat
ner claimant of the American fly
weight championship, who scored a
knockout at the bell in his bout
With Sergeant Rose, the bantam
chc.mpion, of Camp Taylor, bauia

POLICE BEGIN RAID ON
DOGS AT LARGE IK CITY
Police this morning began a raid on
stray dogs in an effort to rid the
streets of canines which roam at
large. Eight dogs of uncertain owner
ship were shot.
As a means of ridding the town of
an undesirable nuisance, police expect
to prosecute their campaign against
dogs until they are eliminated from
the streets or kept off by their own
ers. Moreover, the police contend the
removal of the dogs may effect con
servation of foodstuffs.
BOY SCOUTS OPEN CAMP
Twelve scouts from Troop 15, Boy

Scouts hiked to the camp yesterday.
The camp will be under the Jurisdic

before, but that fewer rounds are
played. It is estimated that of the
3,000 cluba in America there have
joined the service members to the
number of 25,000. But it has also been
established that new players have in
vaded t.he field and practically made
up for the loss of those in service.
Certainly, no one is going to con
demn this enthusiasm ui golf when
they understand-what huge sums are
being raised for war purposes. This
comes about, tirst, through the gov
ernment tax.
Taking the three thousand clubs
as a basis of computation and figuring
that the annual dues will run this
year about seventy dollars on the
average and that the membership is
130 we arrive at the figures $31,500,-
Ten per cent, of this total means
that $3,150,000 is due the Government
from members' dues. When we add
to this the 10 per cent, which is col
lected from each club guest who plays
golf we have another $35,000.
t rather fancy that I have placed
this too low, for some clubs in our
own district have one to three thous
and guests per season, with a greens
fee of $2, which means that from
each of these clubs there will be
handed over four to six hundred dol
lars.
In this connection it might, be well
to bring Jo the attention of the golf
committees tfie fact that although tho
club may have voted the freedom of
the links to the player golfers in
the Army or Navy it is required of
the club that it shall collect a tax
of 10 per cent, of the usual greens;
fee each time these men golf. I know 1

year, when the drive was on,
there had not been in operation other
demands for relief purpose, there had
not been war chest funds or t.he deep
digging down on the part of many to
buy a goodly share of Liberty Bonds.
And so the clubs one and all gave
most generously. Several metropoli
tan clubs who last, season gave well
over a thousand dollars have this year
sent in checks for half the sum. To
make up for this deficiency in some
respects 'we know that more clubs
participated this year but if the sum
of $75,000 it attained the national body
can feel well pleased.
The work of the W. G. A. is now
well known all over the land and
the sum which will go down in his

from the receipts of other matches

us the grand total of $3,550,000.
No wonder golfers and non-golfers
stop for a moment and look surprised
and then pleased, for- this figure
shows truly what part the golfers of
the land are playing in the matter
of giving. There can be noted almost
$400,000, gleaned from the willing
golfers' pockets because of golf con
