WOMAN DRIVER WINS AT BIG HORSE SHOW; ACADEMY PLAYS AVIATORS TODAY AT HOME Tech Expects Toughest Game Of Season With Greensburg Many of the Tech students will ac company the football teum to Greensburg, Saturday. The team will leave Harrisburg, Friday at 1.45. V Most of the rooters will leave early Saturday morning. On the Island yesterday afternoon "Dan" Kohlman put in an appearance for the first time this season. He will get into the Greensburg contest at an end posi tion, and his presence will add much to the team's strength. "Tony" Wilsbach is suffering from a badly bruised right shoulder and may be unable to get into the Greensburg fray. He would be sadly missed on the defense where he is a tower of strength. Coach Smith showed the players the weaknesses that developed in Saturday's game. Only signal practice was held. Tech will have its hardest game of the season with the Westmoreland coun tians. Reports, front Greensburg are to the effect that the Brown and White eleven is again strong. "Purlc/, vous? Sure!" With the opening or school at Tech High, one big innovation is the placing of women teachers in the faculty. Mrs. J. E. Belt, wife of Prof. J. E. Belt, who is in Y. M. C. A. work i in France, has taken her husband's place at the Maroon institution. She 1 will teach French. Mrs. H. H. Bald- j win, wife of the assistant pastor at ! Pine Street Presbyterian Church, is J another woman teacher who began i her duties at Tech. She will instruct ! in English and mathematics. It is f possible that the teachers may be j kept in the faculty even after the close of the war. After Victory Boys J. F.

The sole plans of the meeting are to make arrange- i inents for the rebuilding of the great' minor league fabric torn down by I the war. Many reforms are expected to j come to the surface during this' meeting. Many franchises will un- j doubtedly change hands and some' territorial changes are sure to be; made but the main point in view! is that the minors are ready to get i under way with a full head of steam I in the spring of 1919. The feature of to-day's program ; was the reading of the annual re- j port by Secretary John H. Farrell. 1 The report shows the effect the war ) on the minors, who boasted some thirty leagues two years ago. Inter- I esting details of the report follow: ] Thirteen leagues, embracing nine ty-two cities and towns in the Unit- I ed States and Canada, qualified for I membership in 1918. Ten leagues, comprising sixty-six j cities and towns and employing 1,- j 445 players, started the 1918 play- ; ing season. Nine of the ten leagues played more than one-half of their respec- j tive schedules. Only eleven players were draft- ! ed by the major leagues, eight by j the National and three by the Amer- j ican League. The amount due the minors for drafted players is 823,450. The_ National Association clubs paid "out $45,826 between them selves for the purchase of players. Seventy-nine players were puiv chased from major league clubs by optional agreements and outright sales, costing the minors $35,500, as \ against $110,050 in 1917. The Clark Griffith Bat and Ball Fund received a total of $9,011.66 from the new International, the American Association and the East ern League. Boyd Memorial Members.

Dempsey a Real Fighter It took the humiliating defeat of "Battling" Levinsky, byway of a knockout, to place the final stamp of approval on the fistic prowess of "Jack" Dempsey. If there were those who doubted the genuineness of his amazing clean up of big Fred Fulton, then his latest and perhaps his most bril liant ring achievement in knocking out the clever Hebrew in three rounds, cannot be lightly lapghed of as another "one of those things." "Jack" Dempsey is pretty good. They'll have to kowtow to that as sertion. "Battling" Bevinsky was just about as masterful a defensive lighter as was "Freddie" Welsh. It didn't seem that human lists would ever bring him down for the count. There was so much of cunning and ring craft in his every move that heavyweights, good, bad and in different. were outwitted every time this smallest of the heavy weights put up his hands. Levinsky was never a great fighter In the sense- that he was a knocker-out or tremendously aggressive. He was a wonderfully clever defensive warrior, as clever a man in that respect in his class as Welsh was in his. He may have been on the down grade. There is little doubt of that, but the fact remains that for nine years he has looked knock out wallops right between the eyes and never failed to bob up serene ly. There wasn't a heavyw'eight of his time that wouldn't have gloried in stopping "Battling" Levinsky for the simple reason that it would have meant a real mark of dis tinction to have been able to print the magic K. O. before his name. Dempsey is the only man to have accomplished it. Some of the ancient and honor able Quaker fans hint that Le vinsky was once knocked out when fighting under the name of Bar ney Williams. That didn't matter. If it did transpire then it was in the days of his pugilistic Infancy. Not since "Battling" Levinsky moved into select fighting with ."Dan" Morgan as his mentor, has Levinsky been stopped. Dempsey turned the trick, and with such dispatch and crushing force that the near-heavyweight champions who have been barking over the fence at him must be experiencing a sneaky, funny little feeling creeping over them. "Jack" Demp sey can fight. He settled that ar gument all by himself. He is en titled to all the big things that have been said of him. Even "John the Barber" will have to admit that. The first remark that Dempsey made after tucking Mister Le vinsky away for the evening was that he was going right after the others that had been pestering him in the way of challenges. "Jack" added, with little or no flourish, that by the time he had cleaned up the whole bunch the chances were they'd realize that he was a fighter. We'll allow that if "Jack" isn't he has a lot of the mannerisms of a real "Jack" Dempsey. Just a youngster, he seems certain of gleaning the heavyweight title' by simplv punching his way to the top. He is of the Ketchel type, the sort of a chap that ye goode olde fan loves to see In action. "Jack" Dempsey siMii to have a fortune within his grasp for the very ask ing. SNOODLES By Hungerford \•j ' * MAS nbaj ; l\ j 'V Miss Wanamaker Is Star Driver At Madison Square Horse Show Miss Isabelle Wanamaker, of Phil adelphia. swept the vacuum cleaner over Madison Square Garden horse shdw yesterday, giving a first defeat with her tandem to Judge William H. Moore, who generally wins a bulk of the events. The 'victory of Miss Isabelle Wanamaker's chestnut high steppers. Eve and Netherhall's Pride, did not come as a surprise to the railbirds. Miss Wanamaker had the best tandem and she handled it flaw lessly, outgeneraling the four profes sional whips. Her reinmanship won her applause right from the start as the turnouts spun around in circles and "cuts" over the tanbark. Finally the grooms and railbirds, the only ones who have the courage to root out loud for their choices at the horse show, all whooped it up for Miss Wanamaker and she de served every bit of the applause. It was the first time she had shown n tandem in the Garden and she carried it off with honors. Judge Moore's White Wall Grill and Rai burn were second and the Watson entry third. It took the judges more than the PERSHING'S ARMY AWAITS ORDERS [Continued from First Page.] at eight o'clock. The onslaught was l receded by a tremendous barrage, which was returned in kind by the r enemy. For three hours the Ameri cans swept forward, hurling them selves against the wire entangle ments. The German gunfire was devastat ing. Then, at exactly one minute of eleven, like a final thunder crash at the clearing of a storm, the guns on both sitles abruptly ceased. \ Cheers From Trenches The silence was more startling than the deafening roai of the barrage. ! For a brief minute intermittent rifle | i fire followed; then came a pause, j punctuated by ripping cheers from ; the trenches on boih sides of the line, j What followed on one sector was i perhaps one of the most singular I events of the war. Against the sky | line figures were suddenly silhouet ted. They appeared cautiously at first, but soon, growing bolder all a.o -g the line, they stood upright. These were Germans. The Americans were not so cau tious. As the barrage died, ending in "a final husky rumble in the dis tance from the big guns, runners went springing along the firing line, i Instantly comprehending, the whole line of dough boys leaped from trenches, fox holes and shell crat ers, splitting the unaccustomed si lence with a shrill cheer. The roar of voices was like an outburst at some great college in Amer ica when a contestant scores a clas sic play. Knciny Joins In Shouting Strange to relate, the defeated en i emy Joined vociferously in the cheer- I ing. The world war was finistud. At one minute before eleven It 1 would have meant death to show ! one's self above shelter. Not more I than a minute after the hour the" I rolling plain was alive with cheep ing. shouting men, friend and enemy alike. Not many minutes later Ger mans and Americans were coming along the narrow stretch of ground. I so fiercely fojight over, some shkly ! and awkwardly, like embarrassed j schoolboys. ! The first advances were followed | by offers from the Americans of clg ; arets, chocolate and chewing gum. j The Germans in some places reclpro -1 cated with offers of hot coffee, bread ! and sausage. Tunkees Speak German | The orders forbidding fraternising ! were strict, but the novelty of the j situation at times overcame pru ' dence, and dough boys surreptltious- Ily visited nearby enemy dugouts, i Along the .barbed wire at a road | crossing, some doughboys and Ger i mans began a brisk barter for souv : enirs. The Germans were bewildered by the numbers of Americans speak ing German. • "Sure, my old man was born in Germany," laughingly remarked one I stalwart private. I "That's nothing," said another, "my ; mother and father both were bom i there." 1 A middle-aged Lnadsturmer ex | claimed: "Yes the war is finished, thank the good God. My only wish is to get i back to Germany." A slender pink-cheeked machine gunner said: "Yes, I know the Kaiser has abdicated." Instantly a young aristocrat raised his voice: "There will be no revo lution in GermaViy; a new emperor ! will succeed." An uproar immediately arose. The ' speaker was drowned out by p'rotest | ing voices. Then the Gerpans began I offering the Americans such news and gossip as they knew. The ap proach of an officer broke up the con versations. The Germans celebrated peace along the lines by firing flares, rockets and signal lights. The night was uproarious with their cheering. The victorious Americans took it more calmly. Along the front the majority of them got a good night's restful sleep. Parade Arm In Arm Behind the lines In towns, brllliant- I ly lighted for the first time In four HJLRRISBTJWG TELEGRAPH average time to pick the winner in the class for saddle horses over 14.2 and under 15.2. Four of them were of remarkable even quality and there was little to choose even when the blue ribbon fell to Mrs. Charles M. Allaire's chestnut ntare, The Min strel. Miss Isabelle Wanarrtaker on her bay gelding, Cherrystone, was placed second and the gray gelding, Joseph Santley, from the Woodin Farm, third. One of the thrilling features of the duy was the drill by the traffic police, which never showed to better ad vantage be/ore a critical audience liberally sprinkled with officers who knew just how it should be done. It had to be good, too, to keep pace in interest with the dash and thrills of the jumping classes, enhanced by the olive drab of the riders. In the competition for the Beresford chal lenge cup, twenty-two horses went twice around the course over the gate, stonewall and sticks and this furnished a distinct feature of mill- and police day. years. French and Americans pa raded the streets arm in arm, singing the "Marsellaise," the "Star Spangled Banner" and French and American war songs. lltins Appeal to Foclt Blasting by American engineers In a road repairing detachment caused the German high command to send a message to the Allied high com mand on Monday afternoon contend ing that the Americans had not ceased hostilities on November 11. The message sent by wireless to the Allied high command was tinted 2 p. m. and read: "On the front of Stenay-Beaumont along the Mquse. Americans con tinue despite conclusion of armistice. Plcuse order the stopping of hostili ties." The American answer to the Ger man message follows: "Received your radio. Orders have ! been given for the American activi ties signaled on the §tenay-Beau mont front to cease immediately." So the engineers did not blast dur ing the remainder of Monday after noon. Early this morning, however, they resumed their blasting. Approximately 8,700 tons of shells were fired into the German lines in | a period of nine hours by the Anteri | can artillery when General Per j shing's troops resumed their offen sive on November 1. According to artillery experts, the | bombardment by the American guns I consumed twenty-nine trainloads of ammunition in the nine-hour period. It is estimated that each train con sisted of thirty cars of the type used on the French railroads, each car having a capacity of about ten tons. —* 7 City Is Asked to Aid Soldiers in Letter From Officers' Training Camp ' A letter just received by Benjamin i Strouse, 1632 North Second street, from his son, Milton, who is in the Central Officers Training Camp, at Camp Gordon, Ga., contains an ap peal for the United War Work Cam paign. Mr. Strouse is ward leader of the Twelfth ward in the present drive. The letter follows: "Don't think that because it looks as though the war is-over that we will all come home at once. I will continue right on with the course and plans are fully made to run the i school for six months, taking in 1,- ' 800 ntcn every month. "There will be an army of occupa tion and it will be composed" mostly of new men; so you see my army career nta# be longer than you or I anticipated. I am not telling you this to discourage you, but to let you j know the real facts. "That is a strong point for the ° United War Work Campaign. These j institutions must be kept up as they will have plenty of work to do for several years. "The work of these Institutions is wonderful and if the people at home really knew what comfort they are to the boys, they would not hesitate to give. They are the chief places for diversion and the only places to write letters. Anybody who has one of the family in the service ought to give their utmost and those who have not any ought to give in order to provide amusement for the boys. So go to it and raise all you because you are helping me and everybody else." 25 Cases of Influenza Still Under Treatment Twenty-five cases of Spanish in fluenza still are under treatment at the Hurrisburg Hospital, while an other death occurred during the past twenty-four hours.
