WILL SOCCER BALL BECOME POPULAR IN HARRISBURG? DEMPSEY FLAYS JESS WILLARD Willard a "Cheese Patriot" if . He Declines to Meet Dempsey Jess Willard. slumbering in the re moteness of his western farm, mst have suddenly awakened when the postman brought him this startling challenge from Jack Dempsey via his manager, Jack Kearns. It is in a way an appeal to the public and points out: "While the entire world recog nizes Jack Dempsey as the world's heavyweight champion, the new titleholder is not going to be a 'hide out' champion like Jess Willard was, and while he holds the title he will stand ready and willing to meet all legitimate contenders. This state ment is aimed more particularly at Jess Willard, for while Willard was the titleholder he would not consent to meet Dempsey. Now that Demp sey is the recognized champion he will not go under cover like Willard did, but he will give Willard the first opportunity for a bout. Before Dempsey defeated Fred Fulton in such sensational style, and became the recognized titleholder, he made all kinds of propositions for a bout with Willard. The craven-hearted Willard turned them all down, and nearly all tfiem contained clauses which would have netted thousands upon thousands of dollars for pa- Junior League Race Tightens; Summit Leads C X LEAGUE: STANDING W.

NO FOOTBALL AT MUHLENBERG State College, Pa., Sept. 18.—Nell Fleming, graduate manager of ath letics at Penn State, to-day was noti fified by Muhlenberg College author ities that football had been abolished for this season. This announcement automatically cancels the game j scheduled for September 28. Unless a game is arranged with a camp or shipyard team for that date, it is likely that Penn State will have no opponent before October 5, when Get tysburg comes here. Coach Bezdek added several more players to his squad this afternoon. Red Korb, former West Philadelphia high boy, and George Enell, from Bethlehem Prep, both freshmen ends last sea son, and Logue, an East Liberty Aca demy youth, were among the new comers.

Dempsey, being a fighting champion, and not a com mercialized and financial champion like Willard was, the new titleholder now stands ready and willing to get Jess into the ring with him, and Dempsey will accept any sort of proposition. Willard has broken faith, not only with Dempsey, but with the great American public, who made Willard a hero and a rich man. He has constantly refused to come out and meet Dempsey. His offer to aid the government has been shown up to be one of mere airy persiflage and braggadocclo. He used the United States government for publicity pur poses and to'enrich himself. He has never made good. He has been called on his proposition to aid the war charities time and again, and he has always refused to do so. Is the great American public going to allpw Wil lard to get away with his bluff based on patriotism? We feel sure that they will not. He either must meet Dempsey in a bonaflde bout for pa triotic purposes or he will go down in history as the 'Cheese Patriot.' I trust that this letter will have some effect on Willard and arouse his blood, if he has any, so that he will meet Dempsey for some patriotic fund to help the N boys 'over there.'

It came in the nature of a surprise. As he, in company with General Constructing Engineer John Mueth, Jr., were walking through the grounds, they were confronted by a party of co workers, among whom was "Al" Waline, who made the presentation speech. Snoodles That Stranger Spoiled a Perfectly Good Scrap *-* - By Hungerford • r&ri TWO SOUTHPAWS BOX TONIGHT Tendler and Chaney Hook Up at Philadelphia; Winner to Meet Benny Leonard An unique boxing event is scheduled for to-night at the National A. C. in Philadelphia where two left hand pitchers. Lew Tendler and George K. O. Chaney meet at 133 pounds, ringside. The battle is of great sig nificance for Benny Leonard says he will meet the winner. The last important southpaw battle was between Young McCartney and Mickey Gannon, in which McCartney surprised by stopping Gannon. This battle was held at the old National club. McCartney was the Tendler type, and Gannon fought along the lines employed by Chaney. The bout scheduled to be held to night has created much interest. Tendler has been a pronounced suc cess against righthanders. Just what will be the result when pitted against a hard-hitting southpaw remains to be seen. The rangy lefthander has v been training with a couple of good left handers and showed brilliant form against them. His left seemed to be very effective. 'Tendler did most of his work for this engagement at Billy Grupp's gymnasium in New York. Lew was stationed in New York as a Hog Is land labor scout and did his work at the famous Grupp gymnasium. George Chaney did his work in Baltimore and showed in his work outs that he had lost none of his power. He used a lanky lefthander for a punching bag and proved to be more than shifty. His right hand was kept high, and he had plenty of room in which to wield his damaging and dependable left. Stanley Coveleskie Joins Lebanon Lebanon, Pa.. Sept. 18.— Stanley Coveleskie, of Shamokin, late of the Cfeveland American League team, has joined Charley Kelch ner's Lebanon team, of the Beth lehem Steel League, and has al ready begun work at the com pany's Lebanon plant in an essen tial capacity. Coveleskie is 28 years old and has been playing ball since 1908. Soccerball May Be Introduced Here A vigorous and wide-spread ef fort is being made to introduce soccorball in this neighborhood, and all over Pennsylvania. It is a game little known here and not played at all, but this does not mean that it could not be estab lished. Soccor, like all other sports, has contributed many play ers to the war. The game has felt the pressure of the conflict over seas, but new recruits have filled up the sport's ranks and many new stars and promising youngsters have been developed this season. The United States Football As sociation, with headquarters at New York, is back of this move ment and the chief dynamo is Thomas W. Cahill, secretary of the organization, who says: • "Soccor has made rapid strides in the United States. The game ha,s come forward at a fast clip "in the last'few years. Of course, it will be slowed up temporarily by the big war in Europe, but after that conflict is over the game will come into its own for the simple reason that soccer is be ing played more than any other sport with the possible exception of baseball. "The yoting fellows like some thing exciting, and tell me if there is a contest that has any more thrills connected with it than soc cer. College football can be play ed during the fall season only, but soccer can be played in the fall, winter and spring and the day is approaching—and it is not far distant —when soccer will be one of the most popular pastimes in the United States. All of those soldiers who arc now learning and playing the game in Europe will demand to, see it and play it when they return to the United States. This war is getting to do for soccer what the Civil War did for baseball. "There are now 404 professional soccer players in the United States. A total of 980 players took part in the National challenge cup competition. There are 3,500 or ganized clubs in this country and a grand total of 42,500 soccer players. Fifty-four clubs entered the competition for the Dewar trophy this season, as against 81 last year, showing the effect of the military draft, which has in some cases caused old-established clubs to disband. Howevet - , re ports show that it has been the most successful year we ever had. "Soccer In Western Pennsyl vania and especially in the Pitts burgh district, is as good as that played anywhere. The talent is as good as elsewhere and rapid strides have been made in the progress of the sport here. The spirit is excellent. The McKees port team, which was eliminated in the fourth round by Bethlehem Steel, is in my opinion, entitled to fourth position in the standing of the soccer teams in the United States." If Willard Were Sullivan Dempsey Wouldn't BejJ Fi^ht iiiimi ii i n JAkE KILRAIM The last great bare-knuckle light | took place at Richburg, Miss., July 9, 1889, twenty-nine years ago, between John L Sullivan and Jake Kilrain. These pictures show Sullivan Just before he died, and Kilrain as he ap peared at the fight. They went sev enty-five rounds for the world's title, and Sullivan won. That was per haps the fight that made Sullivan the great ring hero he was for many years after. , The rugged phiz of old John L. recalls the fact that expert judges French Officer Writes of July 4 Celebration An exultant celebration of Fourth of July and Bastile Day by ardent, intermingling French and American troops stationed in Paris, is uniquely I described in a letter from Louis i Guerdon, an under officer in the French Army, to a Harrisburg woman friend in this city. On Independence Day which all the French people celebrated in true festival fashion. Captain Guiard, of ficer of the barracks where Guer don was stationed, invited eight American soldiers to lunch there and otherwise entertained them with music apd elaborate lire drills en gaged in by 150 firemen attached to the barracks. Describing the latter, Guerdon says, in part: "First I give the dear American friends some explanation of our brigade fire department in Paris. We have twelve barracks like these and twelve fire stations. Each bar rack has one station. In this bar rack we have 150 firemen. For the' practice, the bell was rung for the fire. Very quickly the firemen go upon the fires and all together, four big, red cars go out. American friends are very glad and say 'very good, very good.' Then came the exercise in gymnastics. The firemen ; are very strong and skilful and in deed it was interesting to see them for a fireman, with his arms only, climbs up a rope about thirty-five feet, and there the rope being tied to his foot, he descends, head down. In his left hand he carried an Amer ican flag and in his right hand a | French flag. All the American sol ] diers clapped a very long time. I As for Bastile Day, the same eight Americans soldiers were the guests of,the same barracks when the cele bration of that day took place, ac cording to M. Guerdon's letter. As an act of courtesy and to return the compliment for their first named entertainment, the Americans says the writer, invited ten firemen to the American show on the evening of July 13th, at the Theater des Champs Elysses. VISITS SCOUT COUNCILS H. M. Butler, National Field Scout Commissioner, whose offices are In Harrisburg, is having a busy time of it these days. Yesterday he went to Sunbury where he visited the local council. To-day he will go !to Allegheny county, Thursday to Beaver county, Friday to Erie and on Saturday he will finish up the week with a trip of inspection to Oil City. GIRL ENLISTS Miss Rosalie Hart, who played the title role in "Mollie's Suitors" at the Majestic last winter, has enlisted in the United States Reserves, and is stationed at Annapolis, Md., it was announced to-day. She is spend ing a brief furlough at her home, 244 North street. Her service is that of a telephone operate \ are comparing him to the modern Dempsey who cannot get Willard to meet him. Dempsey would not have had to beg John L. and it is not likely that he would himself wait for insult to stir him to action. When John I* was in the business he met all comers, bigger the better, and this made him a universal hero. Wil lard's reticence to appear unless for a huge purse and his own pick of opponent throws him into deep shadows when the memory of John L> is still fresh. Americanization Work Is Urged in County Schools Americanization work, active sup port of the Red Cross, Liberty Loan Campaign, War Saving Stamps sales, and the importance of food and fuel .conservation are pointed out in the first monthly letter from Professor F. E. Shambaugh, county school su perintendent, and Assistant W. R. Zimmerman, to the teachers and directors in the rural districts. Calling attention to the efforts of the National Bureau of Education to keep the schools in the country up to the highest possible degree of efficiency Professor Shambaugh urges that every pupil should be kept in school, and that those who have sufficient preparation to enter high school should do so as a patriotic duty if for no other immmediately definite purpose. Confronted this year with a serious teacher shortage many of the boards in various districts appealed to the i superintendent's office to secure in structors. All vacancies are filled now Professor Shambaugh said, but the difficulty to get a sufficient num i ber of teachers next year will be much greater he predicted. A plan for teacher training in the high schools should be worked out at once by the directors and principals he said. Plans are being made for the an nual teachers' institute which will be held during the week of October 14 at Fahnestock Hall, in the Y. M. C. A., with section meetings in Zion Lutheran Church. A number of prominent speakers from all parts of the country will make lectures and addresses. Among them will be Dr. Judd, of the University of Chi cago; Dr. Betts, Cornell University; Dr. Fornbush, Philadelphia; Prof. H. W. Foght, of the United States Bureau of Education; Professor John T. Watkins, Scranton; Miss Roxana Steele, Horace Mann school, Columbia University; Miss Emma Bolenius, Lancaster. A feature of the institute will be a big community sing on Wednesday evening, October 16, with Professor Watkins in charge. WORKS FOR RED CROSS Eager to do her bit for the win ning of the war, Mrs. W. H. Frank lin, 1800 State street, has volunteer ed for service at the Harrisburg Chapter, American Red Cross, as a stenographer. Mrs. Franklin, the wife of Lieutenant Franklin, who ia stationed at the Marsh Run govetn* ment operations, barely reached town and had her trunk unpacked, according to Red Cross officials, when she appeared at the headquar ters in the hasement of the Public Library, trim and resolute and will ing'to work.

The exact number of dead was unknown, but eleven bodies were in undertaking establishments at Marsh field,- and it was believed, at'least five and perhaps a dozen still were in the wreckage. Fifty of the most se riously injured men were in Spring field hospital having been brought here on a relief train. Soon after the wreck military guards were posted along the track. It was stated that most of the sol diers in the forward coach, which was wrecked, were from Colorado and Minnesota ,with a few from Mis souri. In the second coach were troops from Illinois, lowa, Nebraska and West Virginia. Railroad officials decline to ascribe a cause for the wreck, which occur red near a sharp, curve. The freight train was not badly damaged but the engine of the troop train was stripped and the baggage coach ground to pieces. The first coach from which most of the dead were taken was partly telescoped by the tender of the engine. Y. W. C. A.

HHBY UNHURT WHEN ITS BABY u cakuiage is SMASHED A baby's narrow escape from] death under the wheels of a streeb) car at Third and Market yesterday afternoon as its mother was wheeling it across that intersection, was avert- j ed by the presence of mind of the' young woman. Attempting to cro ®® Third street the mother was caught between the trolley tracks and the curbing by a Riverside car which a moment before was standing to the north of the crossing unloading pas sengers. x . , According to witnesses of the acci dent, after the carriage had been pushed over the curbing, the street car started around the corner, giv ing the woman no time to with draw. As a result the carriage was caught by the fender of the car and its four wheels completely demolish ed. The baby occupant of the ve hicle got through unscathed. The mother of the child swooned under the excitement of the moment and had to be removed to a nearby drug store.
