GREAT RECORD OFTECH ATHLETE-SOLDIERS; JESS WILLARD WANTS NONE OF DEMPSEY
Tech's Splendid Record
in Athlete-Soldiers
The statement has been made that
the American soldier proved so
adaptablo to the war game, because
of th e spirit that he has imbibed in
participating in athletics. Every
school in the country boasts of Its
honor roll and a glance at the list
of any school or college will con
vince the skeptical that the athlete
was th e llrst to answer his country s
Ca \vh!le the Technical High school
is just a trifle over a decade old,

fact that each class has a good rep

that Tech first won a state track
championship.
Class of 191G sent half a score
more into the service of their coun
try and those athletically inclined
were Moltz and Ralph Evans, both
good track men. Evans ran on three
teams that captured honors down
at the Penn carnivals.

team, "Hennie" Cocklin, "Pete"
Moore, Manager Patterson, Ramey,
Nell and Hempt, are among those
who helped to put Tech on the
athletic map.
From this year's graduating class
up until the armistice, eleven lads
had left school to join the colors,
and many more were preparing to
go at the middle of the year. These
fellows themselves give athletics the
credit for making them fit for army
life. Fortunately all have escaped
death but live of the number. Among
the first to be killed was Lieutenant
Von Bereghy, who died of wounds.

MONDAY EVENING, ** HAHRISBURG TELEGRAPH! DECEMBER 23, 1918.
When Umpire Tim Hurst
Settje dthe Question
St. I.mils, Dec. 23.—"Bobby" Wal
lace, veteran of veterans in major
league baseball, his activities as a
player stoppcil only by ihe war aft
er some twenty-four years of dia
mond service, celebrated his forty
fourth birthday recently here.
"Bobby" is now connected with the
industrial branch of the Ordnance
Bureau of the War Department and
his duty is to give Illustrated lec
tures to munitions workers in vari
ous plants on how to increase out
put. But the ban on public gath
erings because of the Influenza
gave liim idle time and ne celebrat
ed his birthday by gathering to
gether a few cronies and telling
stories.
One that made quite a hit had
Tim Hurst as its feature. It was
back in 18M, and the Spanish-
American' War was being fought.
Tim Hurst was umpiring, "Heinie"
Peitz was catching for Cincinnati
and Wallace was with Cleveland,
The game was In Cincinnati and
during its progress there developed
what seemed to be from the
stands and from the players'
benches n fierce argument betwe-n
Hurst and Poltz. They waved
their arms, shook their fists and
stuck their chins out at each other.
The Cincinnati crowd naturally
thought that Hurst was giving tho
Beds a raw deal or "Heinie" would
not be protesting so, and there was
a great uproar. Players on the
benches and in the field stopped
the game and waited, none daring
to approach the plate to help quell
the row, fearing Tim Hurst's tem
per. Finally Wallace ventured out
as a peacemaker.
"Bobby" edged up and inquired
as softly as lie could what the
row was about. And this was
! what he learned:
Hurst and Peitz had fallen out
and were about to fight over
whether Sampson or Schley should
be given the credit for the victory
in the naval battle off Santiago.
"We'll leave it to Wallace," sug
gested Peitz.
"We'll leave It to no man," said
Hurst. "Bight I am. and if you
speak another word against Ad
miral Schley out ye go from the
gome."
And, according to Wallace,
"Heinie" Peitz shut up and surren

CHAUMONT ARMY
HOME OF CHIEF
OF THEYANKEES
President Goes There on
Christmas Eve; to Rest
Camp on Christmas
Chaumont, to which President Wil
son purposes going on Christmas |
eve, thence to a rest camp, where he
will spend Christmas with troops of
the American Army of Occupation, is
the home of the general headquarters
of the American Expeditionry Forces.
Until now It has been taboo and
the whereabouts of "G. H. Q." one
of the secrets of the war.
There lives the commander-in
chief and In the buildings of the
French garrison 'is housed the of
fices of the general staff and all the
auxiliary organizations that go with
it—the nerve center of the army.
A city of normally about fifteen thou
sand Inhabitants, Chaumont lies on
the Eastern railway lines, 163 miles
east of Paris. It was formerly the
capital of Basslgny and is now the
capital of the Department of the
Haute Marne.
Like most of the older cities of
France, Chaumont seems to have been
founded on a site of strategic defen
sive value. It crowns a high pla
teau between the Marne and the
Sulze and from the walla and towers
of tho old city Is a wonderful view
of the valley of the Marne, here the
river being hardly as wide as the
Marne canal that flows beside It be
tween Its popular bordered banks.
Northward over the narrow vale of
the Sulze the view takes In a wide
sweep of rolling forest crowned hills.
General headquarters were removed
from Paris to Chaumont In Septem
ber of last year, Chaumont being se
lected after a careful search of avail
able locations. It lies In the center
of what was the American training
area, every camp as well as the Toul
sector in which the American forces
first saw battle, and all the lines
1 from Toul eastward where we were
I located, being within reach by motor.
I The French post occupied as head
quarters offices is typical of French
j garrisons. Three long four-story,
red tile roofed barracks form three
sides of a great quadrangle facing a
wide avenue. A group of lesser
buildings and the customary Iron
fence and ornamental gates Is the
remaining boundary. On either gate
post flies the Tricolor and the Stars
and Stripes.
Sentries pace their posts on every
hand, the quadrangle is filled with
hurrying officers and orderlies and
clerks, hands flash in salute, bugles
give their almost hourly calls for
the various military events and per
iods of the day, staff cars and motor
cycles roll In and out and now and
then the sentry at the gate stiffens
even more rigidly and brings his
piece up with more snap when a
great olive drab car, shining like
a yacht, slides in, the tab on
the wind shield with four white stars
signifying the commander-in-chief.
Frequently the general's car ap
proaches unheralded and so swiftly,
that the sentry's cry of, "Turn out
tho guard," is too late and the com
mander-in-chief is gone before the
guard can tumble from the guard
house.
Until last spring General Pershing
made his residence in a large villa
near headquarters. He soon found,
however, that so near the workshop
of the army he could not have the
quiet and lack of intrusion necessary
to his growing responsibilities and
he removed in May last to a beauti
ful chateau about five miles from
town. Here, In a great rambling
castle situated In the Marne valley
among groves and wido sunlit lawns,
he lived with his personal staff. Con
nected by telephone with every divi
sional, corps and army headquarters,
his own offices in Chaumont and with
Farls he did his work there when
not with the army.
Chaumont Itself has become almost
Americanized by the presence of the
headquarters. Its little hotels are
always crowded with officers. It lias
been very liospltble to the American
occupation. Nearly every home with
a spare room is thrown open as a
billet for officers and many of the
finest residences have been taken
over, entirely by the hundreds of
messes. In many of them the offi
cers have installed electricity and
bathrooms and in some cases central
heating plants and with French ser
vants live comfortably, almost lux
uriously as measured in military
terms. Hundreds less fortunate or
lacking in rank take their chances
on whatever billet may be found in
the crowded town where a bed is al
ways at premium.
ARRESTED ON CHARGE

Willard Not to Meet Dempsey;
Wants to Retire Undefeated
■ W ILL Al2 O,
Jess Willard has given final answer
that he will not meet the devastating
"Jack" Dempsey, who reminds us
more of John L. Sullivan than any
other pugilist. Hence, there is hardly
a chance that he will enter the ring
again, g and thus be one of the few
heavyweights who retired undefeated.
In ring judgment this is nothing to be
proud of, and old-timers point out
that "Jack" Broughton, the first real
champion to have worthy rivals for
the honor, kept on fighting until he
was put to sleep by "Jack" Slack.
The latter held on for ten years and
then was whipped by "Bill" Stevens.
The Nailer and his unworthy success
ors of the dark uges of pugilism were
all whipped.
"Tom" Johnson, the next great
English champ, lost his laurels to
"Ben" Brain. The latter held the
title unchalenged for three years,
when he died. Daniel Mendoza, the
first Jewish champion, lost to John
Jackson, who retired from the ring
and never defended his title. Jein
Belcher, who became champion when
a mere boy, retired undefeated when
he lost the sight of one eye, but later
sought to come back and was whipped.
Pearce was forced to retire because
of illness, and soon died. John Gully,
after winning the title, refused to de
fend it and quit the game. "Tom"
Cribb was the first man to retire with
his honors full upon him. "Tom"
Spring, his successor, also retired un
defeated. and so did the next cham
pion, Jem Ward. "Deaf" Burke was
whipped by Old "Blendy"
was whipped by "Ben" Gault, but re
covered the title, and then quit while
the quitting was good. "Bill" Perry,
the "Tipton Slasher," lost to Horry
Broome, who was whipped by "Tom"
Paddock. "Tom" Saycrs was the next
champion, and retired undefeated, al
though he had a close call in the
world's championship battle with John
C. Heenan, the American. "Sam"
Hurst was the next champion, and
Good-by, Mr. Jinx!

Of the early American champions,

SPROUL WOULD
SUPERVISE ART
Says That State Should Have
Best of Advice on Build
ings and Memorials
Governor-elect William'C. Sproul
In a chat with newspapermen In
Philadelphia, indicated that he has
been thinking about one of the mat
ters long on the minds of people who
have noted tendencies in memorial
art and public.building decoration.
"All over the state," he said, "our
communities will shortly be spend
ing sums of money for memorials of
their soldiers. I would hate to see
It brought about that the local con
tractors, marble-cutters and grave
stone chlppers would be able to get
to the county authorities and be
given carte blanche to erect monu
mental monstrosities of various sorts
all over the state.
"It would be an excellent thing
If we could have some sort of a com
mission, on which artists should
have prominent representation,
which would make it impossible for
theso things to get by only to be re
gretted by generations to come.
"I think some of the large cities
which will spend great sums ought
to keep in view that a memorial of
some utilitarian value should bd
their offering. For instance, suppose
the Philadelphia-Camden bridge
were conceived as a memorial to the
fallen heroes of the war. How much
more it would mean, and how fitting
an expression of our sentiments it
would be?"
The Philadelphia Press says: "Sen
ator Sproul said he would not con
fine his principle of an art commis
sion to memorials of the war only.
It should be a principle applied in
every direction, he said, so that our,
boroughs and cities would be, pro
tected against everything that gross- I
ly offended the eye. He resisted in- I
stances from Pennsylvania cities j
where monuments, parks and other |
places of beauty were defaced by in- ,
artistic and unlovely structures.
"There is one museum that is the
handsomest building in one of our j
cities, and yet a man was allowed
to come along and build a hideous
garage right next tosXit," he said.
"Now, no one can hold that garages
should not be built., But they can
bo made either unobjectionable or j
else positively good looking, accord
ing to the taste of the architect or
owner. The art commission should
be there to supply a conscience for
owners and builders who ha\e none
of*their own."
In speaking to the Philadelphia
Public Ledger Mr. Sproul let it be
known yesterday that lie will have
experts In the State Highway De
partment to assist Lewis S. Sadler,
who will be Highway Commissioner,
In the care and construction of state
highways. Mr. Sadler has agreed
to accept the appointment offered
him by the Governor-elect, and Mr.
Sproul is confident that the High
way Department under the adminis
tration of Mr. Sadler will make rapid
advancement. '
The Ledger says: Pennsylvania
needs improved roadsbndly.andit
Is not expected that the SSO 000.000
bond issue will prove sufficient to
give the state all that It should have
in the way of ilrst-class highways.
Mr. Sproul, however, is anxious to
have the money used to the best pos
sible advantage, and he believes Mr.
Mr. Sadler will meet his expecta
tions. One Idea of the Governor
elect is that there should be a mam
trunk road leading* into every coun
ty in the state, thus connecting up
the state and making free communi
cation between the counties possi
bl "Incidentally, Mr. Sproul indicat
ed that there were several men of
first-class ability now in the High- j
way Department, whose services un
-1 doubtedly would be required under
the new administration. Mr. Sproul
has as yet made no selections for the
podts of Banking Commissioner and
Insurance Commissioner. It is un
derstood ho has a man in mind to
head the Agricultural Department,
which he proposes to reorganize<but
this name lias not been announced.
The Governor-elect may make no
further appointments until he Is set
| tied in office in Hari isburg.
"There appears to be little doubt
I that John Price Jackson, head of the
i Labor Department; Charles A. Am
bler Insurance Commissioner, and
Secretary Patton, of the Department
of Agriculture, will be asked to step
out wlien Mr. Sproul takes office.
At the Capitol theso changes were
forecast right after election together
with others.
