HEAVY SALE OF TICKETS FOR TURKEY DAY GAME BETWEEN TECH AND STEELTON HIGH Turkey Day Battle Big Job For Cockill's Steelton Team To say that Tech is High school' champion of Pennsylvania tells but half the story. Experts who look the teams all over are confident that Harrisburg Tech could lick anything in this broad land of her class. And that she could take care of the aver age college team is a Certainty. No one in these regions ever saw such a perfect machine, and what George Cockill will be able to do with such proficient athletes next Thursday, is making every tongue wag. Cockill has a way of handing out unexpect ed jolts, and he may spring one on Turkey Day, but it will take some magic. The results of games this year is so vastly different that one can hardly see how Steelton can make a goal, for she has only scored 32 points so far against her enemy's 93, while Tech has busted all rec ords with a total of 381' against her foe's nteasely 3.

The manager said that if It were not agreeable for either of these, teams to go there that St. Mary's would jog to the other's home field. If this Saturday is not convenient St. | Mary's is willing to take on the foe some later date and he thinks inas much a Tech trimmed the Aviators that the latter team should respond.

The real story Is now to be told by the man who made the rule and runs as follows: Pittsburgh and Boston were billed for an important series back j in 1593. George Moreland, then an official of the Pirates, kept the boxes of balls in a safe and had exclusive charge of them. One day for an experiment he took all but one of the balls and put them on ice. He didn't remove the cover or break the seal. The next afternoon, the day of the big series, he went up to A 1 Buckenberger, the Pirate manager. "Al, I had a dream last night," he said. "I dreamed that Nichols was pttchingYof the Beans and that we went to bat first. Smith singled. Donovan saerifled and Steneel singled, scoring the only run of the game. We went to bat first, see? That's my hunch." Buckenberger thought a mo- | ment, then said: "I'll follow that | tip to-day. There's nothing in the rules against the home team i batting first." "Now, remember," cautioned ] Moreland. "Tell the boys I dream ed that Smith singled, Donovan l sacrified and Steneel singled: Then | that Jake Beckley fouled the ball over the fence. It won't come true unless it is all followed." Pittsburgh went to bat first, much to surprise of the fans, and v \jl>re*in# tiflksecJPout the only ball 'that hadn't been placed on Ice. The umpire tore off the cover and threw it to Nichols, who was the j pitcher as Moreland had dreamed. ' "I'll never forget that game," ! laughed Moreland. "Everything i came out exactly as I had dream | ed. Smith cracked the pill for a | single and Donovan sacrificed." ! Smith scored when Steneel crash ed a single. "Jake Beckley, always good at fouling them off, lost the ball over the stand and I thfew one of the Iced balls out to the umpire. It was encased in its separate box and cover, so nobody suspicioned anything. "Several of the balls were used before the battle was over. They were like punk. It was all but impossible to drive them past the 1 Infield. The inflelders of both sides certainly were kept busy on assists. • "Under the conditions nobody could get a run and the game end ed with Pittsburgh victor, 1 to 0. Everybody was howling about the balls,'but they looked all right. Cqvers were on and the seal unbroken. "It wasn't till long afterward j that my secret came out and then | a rule was passed making such a ' proceeding Impossible In the fu ! turc. Some dream, I claim." Germans Wipe Out All But Few of New Jersey Regiment in Last Days By Associated Press Passaic, N: J., Nov. 26.—Details of the desperate fighting In the Argonne in the closing days of tho war were contained in a letter from Lieutenant Giover P. Heinzman, of a New Jersey Regiment. "Our regiment went into battle Oc tober 12," Heinzman wrote, "and only a few of us are left to tell the tale. French soldiers tell us it was the Worst slaughter of the war. . "Twice I stopped to bandage wounded men and both times the Bochcs .shot them again, killing one who was lying across my lap. On another occasion a wounded-man was carrying another who was more se riously wounded when a. German sniper killed them, both.". § GLASSES Quickly Repaired .

This sum represented the total admissions, just 2,890 men and 300 women, em ployes included, paying to witness the running of a clever program. No complimentary badges of any kind were recognized, and the amount raised through the generosity, of the Southern -Maryland Agricultural As sociation eclipsed that obtained on Red Cross day at any Of the New York tracks. .

It takes these old Judges to hand out a wallop, meanwhile looking solemn as a crutch. The Youth's Companion tells of a long-winded lawyer who finally apoiogized: "I hop'e, your honor, I am not un duly trespassing upon the time of the court?" "My friend." observed the judge, "there is considerable difference be tween trespassing on time and en croaching on eternity." St. Louis, Nov. 25.—Phil DeC. Ball, president of the St. Louis American League Baseball Club, said to-day that he had not indorsed the pl*n of Harry Hempstead, of the New York Nationals, and Harry Frazee, of the Boston Amorlcans, to have former President W. H. Taft serve as "a one-man national commission- team, and the other high school teams know it. They knew it last year, and quite a few squirmed in order not to play Tech. They said that their schedules were tilled. Hats off to Lebanon. They are a game bunch, and did not seek to avoid a game with Tech. They took their medicine gamely. But Read ing squirmed. So did Lancaster has been a four-flusher for years. They contract to play baskqtball and football contests, and if there is no material on hand, they cancel. They blame it on their gymnasium. Going south we come to York. \ With a co-educational high school of "many over 1,000, those poor fel lows don't have enough backbone and gumption to have a football team. A city that boasts of once having been temporarily the capital of the United States, can not have a football team. Satisfied to take their fall exercise by spending a week at the York county fair. Then there is Altoona. They say that the Mountaineers are still try 'ing to dig themselves out of that 117 to 0 snowdrift of last fall. Well, when the list of high schools is scunned, with whom Tech ought to play, and with whom Tech did play when the student body was 100, there is not much left. We said fare well to Coach Yiengst and Mt. Car mel on their last trip here. Tech wants to keep her athletics out of the prep school class. Tech is a four-year boys' high school. But one team that Tech always de pend upon is Steelton. Game to the core, these Blue and White players tight back with courage, and just last, year won out over Tech when the odds were against them. Day hoff's goal did the trick. Dayhoff is not there, but the spirit is. and ]so is Captain Wueschinski, who is one of the best leaders Steelton ever had. Watch out for Steelton' Thanks giving! She did It before. er," He said he had received a tele gram signed by Frazee and Hemp stead, asking him to wife Mr. Taft his approval. "I did not wire him," said Mr. Ball. "I think Mr. Taft has the flpest judicial mind in the country and is in all respects a great man. But I object to having Messrs. Fra zee's and Hempstead's plans wished on me in any such offhand manner. Frazee has no authority from any one to submit such a proposition on behalf of the American League. Un til the league meets and discusses .uny plan it obviously has no official standing. Any changes of policy will be effected at the league's meeting early in December." Pittsburgh, Nov. 25.—Lieutenant Joseph Duff, former all-Amerlcan football guard and a noted gridiron star of many seasons, was killed in action in France, Octobei* 10, ac cording to word just received here bj latlves. Lieutenant Duff was a g .mate of Shadyside Academy here and in 1912 he graduated from Princeton, in the same year being' named an ail-American guard. He coached the Princeton 'Varsity team that fall and the University of Pitts burgh elevens of 1913 and 1914. Lieutenant Duff went to France as a private in a machine gun com pany and got in action October 1. He was promoted to corporal, then sergeant, and later was graduated from the Army candidate school and given his commission.

Hewell, right end, and acting captain of the team, is confined to quarters with a badly bruised hip. Earp, Chandler and Walker are hobbling about on crutches as a re sult of various knee and ankle in juries. . Much excitement has been gene rated on the campus by the newspa per report hat Penn's second touch down Saturday was Illegal. It is generally realized, however, that since no protest was made at the time the decision will have to stand, although every Swarthmorean be lieves the little Quakers were the rightful victors.

Lid Lifted From Building , T*HE decision of the Council of NaJtional Defense at Washington to lift the ban on building operations will be responded to in Harrisburg as well as in other communities. The federal restrictions have found this city, and many others, unable to provide the housing facilities needed to accommodate the greatly increased number of workers due to the great industrial activities. We have had to makeshift in many ways, to provide housing for our people, the restrictions being such as have made it impossible even to reconstruct old build 'ings. The result has been congestion in many quar ters. Now that the war is over there will be an unpre cedented demand for all kinds of building material. In the United States 600,000 buildings are required. Millions of houses are needed in Europe. Begin to build now before the rush Ltarts. We are prepared to give you figures on any amount of lumber.
