HENNIE KOHLMAN BEST TECH MAN IN LEAGUE HARRISBURG IS SLACKER IN SWIMMING f hame That Harrisburg Has No Great Swimmers The fact that the City Council of irrlsburg take no interest in de loping our water front; have no ought for the thousands of chil en who would relish bathing in the squehunna is responsible for Hur iburg's blank space in the twini ng sport. It* seems a great pity it divs of river sport cannot be re zed here; days when Harrisburg oduced champion scullers who were own all over the country. As for Immers we have none, and so the nouncement of the A. A.

Lieutenant Winfield Sides left this morning for Andover, Mass., where he will-be an instructor in the Andi over College. Lieutenant Sides had I been a teacher for the government at Porto Rico before the war broke out. Mrs. Amanda Brown, of Chester, is spending some time in town with relatives. An automobile driven by George Rider, who was on his way home near Prey's Grove, ran Into a team driven by Robert Seiders. a neigh bor. Rider was coming fo Middle town with a load of 'milk cans which were full. The horse ran away but was caught by Hnrvey Landis and Simon Landis. The wagon was badly damuged and Mr... Rider from the fifteen-foot mark and thir teen times from the field, making him the highest individual scorer in the league, although he has been in three games. O'Kcefe, of Allentown, is the highest scorer in the matter of fouls, yet this will soon be balanced by the other players when they have taken part In as many games as the Lehigh countian. While there is always a warm rival ry among the players for the highest Individual honors in scoring, it is .games won that counts, and coaches are discouraging players from irying for individual records. Reading and Lebanon lineups that look good. Many of their players are vet erans from last year. On the Read ing team, for instance, there are Nyquist, Friedman, Abrams, Rutten berg and Sailer, as well as littlo Baumener, all of whom saw service last year with the Red and Black. But, as a Tech player stated, "We beat them last year, and we can do it again." Lebanon has Miller, 'srout and Quinn, who will keep the Red and Blue in the fore. Yorlt, Steelton or Allentown may spring a surprise, but it is not likely that they can outstrip the three teams that }ed off last season.

PHILLIES TRADE MILTON STOCK Manager Coombs Cleans Decks and Starts to Pick Training (Quarters Third Baseman Milton Stock, Catcher "Pickles" Dilhoefer and Pitcher "Dixie" Davis are Phillies no longer. Manager Jack Coombs last night announced that his first move toward building up the 1919 Phils consisted of trading these three play ers to the St. Louis Cardinals in ex change for Third Baseman Douglas Baird, Pitcher Packard and Stewart, a young inflelder. By all tokens Philadelphia Is go ing to have a lively National League club, but,' of course, one swallow does not make a summer. Announc ing they would, train at home, some one touched the button and now they are going south to get in condition. Jack Coombs, who is a banker down in Texas, showed speed in starting, but Philadelphia writers think St. Louin got an edge on the deal. It almost resolves into a swapping of two corking good third basemei. ■Stock is a fine thirdsacker, consistent and the hardest worker on the whole team, as well as a dangerous batsman at any and all times. Baird is a classy fielder and looks like a comer. Davis came to the Phillies last year under a run of hard luclc. During the training trip he contracted pneu monia and it was not until late in the season that he was able to return to mound duty. His main job was to finish games for "Mule" Watson, but he appeared to havo a fair amount of "stuff." Packard has been an "in-and-outer." He v.as'up with Cincinnati in 1512, but slipped back to tho minors in 1913-and later came up for a chance with the Cubs, after which he drifted to the Cards. However, the Phillies have been in sad need of a ports!de hillman for several years, and even with Rlxey back, Packard will prob ably come in handy. So far as Dllhoefer Is concerned, he still had a lot to show to earn a. regular berth. Evidently the whole deal hinges on something Coombs still has to show. It is obvious that a catcheh will have to be dug up somewhere, for Jack Adams is jjbout dene. Burns has a good enough head, but the pegging whip is done and neither one of them can bat lioies through a smoke screen. Stuart has yet to show. Nobody ever heard of him, least of all Coombs and Baker, unless they have an in side line on his ability. Coombs left for Dixie to-day to find a training spot. The Phillies will meet the Athletics in a five-game se ries, beginning April 16. Police and Detectives Keep Order in Crowds A score of visiting detectives from Baltimore, Newark, Philadelphia, York, Washington and Pittsburgh, besides the entire force of the Har rtsburg Police Department, succeed ed in keeping order in the great crowds which thronged Harrisburg yesterday. Nine visitors were ar rested as pickpockets and given hearings to-day. Many suspected pickpockets and confidence sharps were sent out of the city almost as soon, as they arrived and were de tected by the poice. • Fakirs selling toy balloons, and other souvenirs, were not allowed to. ply their trade unless they could show credentials testifying to their good behavior in other cities. The nine men arrested as pickpockets were Herman Freeman, Harry Tay lor, Wiliam Bradley, John Mackey and Harry Jordan, white, of Phila delphia and Pittsburgh: William Moore, Otto Hall and Frank Baker, coored, of Baltimore and Washing ton, and W. B. Holmes, colored, of Steelton. Service Medal Given to Hollidaysburg Boy Hollidnysburg, Jan. 22.—Tho dis tinguished service cross has been awarded Dee Smith, twenty-two, son of George N. Smith. He is a private in the medical" corps of the First •Battalion, One Hundred and Twenty fifth Infantry, in France. The cita tion states that a runner from the Third Battalion reporting to the First Battalion in reserve was se verely wounded while crossing No Man's Dand. The message carried by the fallen man was of utmost im portance. Smith dashed front his protection, ran through a murderous machine gun fire, carried the wound ed soldier 100 yards to shelter and administered first aid. TELEGRAPH SERENADED Employes of the arrisburg Tele graph were given a real treat lust right when they were serenaded by the Danny Nirela Band, of Pitts burg. The musical organization, which ranks among the finest in the state, presented ar improvised pro grant of about a half hour's duration in front of the Telegraph building, the concert attracting a large crowd. The band acctnipanied the delega tion from the Bat cock Cub, of Pitts burgh, to Hnfrisburg, whero they marched in the inaugural parade yesterday. VISITS CITY P. C. Btaples, division manager of the Bell Telephone at Philadelphia, visited arrisburg yes terday on business. AROUND THE BASES LOWERS GOLF RECORD , Pinehurst, N. C., Jan. 22.— J. "N. Stearns, 3d, of the Nassau Country Club, who set a new low % mark lor the season on the championship course a few days ago with a 73, clipped a stroke oft that tigure in a match round yesterday. Stearns went out in 38 and came home in 4-3-4-5- 5-34-3-3-3 for a 722. Says Frank Erne: ''l like Leonard's style in the ring. He is a corking general and doesn't waste any strength when that right goes across. Leonard tights almost the same as Gans did, but Joe wus an even bet ter general than Benny. Some times Beny misses with that right, but Joe never did. When the colored flash wanted to end matters he always did and he punished you wickedly besides. He fought in twenty and twenty-five round bouts as often as Leonard does in the short lights. "Leonard is a real lighter and a picture in the ring. He is steady, nervy and willing to swap punches.'^ Wait until America's athletes get' back, if you want to hear some thril ling stories of war. From Wheeling, W- Va., there is one now about Liut. William B. Stobbs, famous quarter back at W. and J., who refused to die even wliefi dropped twice from an airship. His first accident occurr ed when he was riding with another man as pilot, thei rengine "dying" when they were a few hundred feet in the air. In the fail Stobbs almost had his lower lip cut off, but it was sewed bock on leaving a jagged scar several inches in length. The second "accident occurred after the signing of the armistice. The aviators at Lake Field had little to do and oc cupied a good deal of their time in practice 'flights and joy rides. Mem phis being but a few miles away they used their planes to make the trip when they wanted to visit the city. Stobbs borrowed a machine and made the trip without accident until he was directly over the city, when something happened to his motor and he fell directly into the city. He was picked up unconscious from the wreckage of the plane and rushed to a hospital, where it was found he had no broken bones and no inter nal injuries, but hip face and other parts of his anatomy needed a lot of repairrs. POSTPONES CHASE CASE New York, Jan. 22.—John A. Heydler, president of the National League, announced yesterday that ho will hear the case against Harold Chase, first baseman of the Cincin nati team, on January 30, instead of to-morrow, upon the request of Chase's attorney. Chase was suspended indefinitely by Manager Mathewson, of Cincin nati, last August while the Reds were playing in New York. Mathewson made grave-charges against Chase at the that he did not see how it woul dbe possible for Chase to play big league ball under the circumstances. John McGraw, manager of the New York Nationals, and William Perritt, a Giant pitcher, have been requested to atend the hearing as witnesses fo rtlie Cincinnati Club. Manager Mathewson, who filed the original charge#, is still in France, where he is serving as captain in the Chemical Warfare Service. After the closing of the 1918 base ball season. Chase started a civil suit against the Cincinnati Club for the amount of salary he lost by rea son of his suspension. THE NATIONAL REGATTA Apparently Philadelphia lias the lead on all other cities in the mat ter of securing the next national amajeur rowing regatta, the annual classic for the oarmen of the United States. It seems to be the sentiment! among the rowing fraternity that! the Schuylkill is teh logical place i to rthe big event this year and they also are in favor of moving the time up from August to some time in July, preferably in conjunction with the annual people's regatta on July 4 and 5. Troop 21, Boy Scouts yesterday afternoon defeated Troop 5 (by the score of 32 to 12. The ganVe wus rather slow. The lineup: TRIOP 5 TROOP 21 Forney, f. Anderson, f. Lippey, f. Manuel, f. MeKee, c.

He is now with the Red Sox and he promises them to deliver the goods. Says Owner Frazee: "He wants to move to Boston Immediately, taking his family along. I take it that Cald> well has been thinking for pome time that he would be a better pitch er and a better ni'an if he got away from the New York club, and that is the impression he gave us. We'll give him a chance to show just what he means." 135,000 Unemployed Men Reported in 21 Cities Washington, Jan. 22.
