CARL BECK ELECTED CAPTAIN OF THE TECH TRACK TEAM; SAMMY SCHIFF TO FIGHT FOR K. OF C
Central High Girls Lose to
Swift Maids of Williamsport
•"They have a better team; that's
tha whole story," commented Ath-
I lettc Director Bortram W. Saul last
evening when the doughty Williams
port girls finished their to
I Chestnut street by beating the Cen
tral High maids. 16-j3. The larg
est crowd of the season witnessed
the engagement and though disap
pointed that the local lassies ootid
not put one over, this being the third
consecutive loss, everybody joined
in a fine dancing program and for
got the tragedy. Williamsport has
been playing together for a longer
time than Harrtsburg and
the result of team work, but Coach
McConnell says that there may be
some changes. McConnell also said
basketball would be emphasized at
: the Institution by forming an inter
class league of the girls. Central
High is most unfortunate in not
having a floor of its own, and it ap
pears to be about time that the
school officials give them some ac
commodations. Williamsport has a
fine big floor, with shower baths
right in their sehoolhouse and this
is a great advantage.
There arc only two classes of
the male sex at Central High now;
ono of them will be shifted this
year and the last remaining one will
go next Thus will be com
pleted the separating of the sexes
Watch White Sox With Collins
Leading Off in the Batting Line
Look out for the Chicago White
Sox this year! Collins is loose. He
is now at his home in Landsdowne
near Philadelphia, after being re
leased from the Marine Corps. Ed
die was in the game early in 1918,
with the 'First to Fight' organiza
tion. and he said yesterday that war
experience had not slowed him up
any." I expect to have one of my
best years,' he declared, "and under
Kid Gleason I i>rtainly look for the
White Sox to go fast."
The dope in Chicago this week is
that E. Trowbridge Collins, de luxe
second baseman, is to quit wasting
time at third-man batting and that
Gleason will have him leading off.
The only thing that prevented Col
lins being first last year was the fact
that Collins swatted third wjien he
was with the Athletics and always
made violent objections to any ar
rangement that would move him
from the spot which he, himself,
considered best suited to his pe
culiar baseball talents.
Here is Collins' record since he has
been with the Sox:
Year G. R. H. 8.8. S.H. S.B Av.
*915 ~.155 118 173 119 35 46 .332

1917 ...156 91 163 89 33 53 .289
1918 ... 97 51 91 73 22 22 .276
From the compendium of figures
one learns that Collins played 563
games with the Sox and got to first
base 961 times of his own effort.

ment of "Doc" Cutch intends to give
all the likely boys a chance to win
the title if they can do it or care to
make an effort. Herman announces
tha-t he will bar no one who will
make the weight and for whom there
will be a suitable guarantee.

and has succeeded in getting hln
self into good fighting trim. '"Doc"
'utch has arranged two for him in
the near future. The first is with

man is at the plate he achieved first
base almost twice each contest.
Therefore, why should E. T. Col
lins not top the list instead of pum
meling third? The Sox have a most
able hunter in Fred McMullin. He is
the logical successor of Fielder Jones
and Bill Bradley as the most com
petent man in the Johnson circuit
putting the runner over.
Not only in the positive end of the
butting game did he excel, but in the
negative as well. He struck out only
92 times in 563 games, which is a
trifle worse than .once every six
games. He stole 161 bases and laid
down 129 sacrifice hits.
It has been suggested more than
once that Collins lead off, but he al
ways clung to the third position for
superstitious reasons. He hit there
for what he called "theO's" and
wished to continue for the Sox.
It is worthy of note that while his
batting average continues to shrink
after the fashion of those who spend
long years in the majors, he still
possesses the ability to make the
hostile pitch. The decline in the
number of passes he achieves is
slight compared with the batting
mark.
"Kid" Gleason is a wise baseball
person, and one of the wisest moves
lie could mke would be to send Col
lins to the plate first, even if such
an amendment did uot meet the full
approval of the man who is credited
with being the second best 3econd
baseman the American League ever
had.
Can Dempsey Fight?
Should "Shay" So
Ring enthusiasts are emphatic in
their demand that the man who
opposes Willard must be a genu
ine fighter and a full-fleged heavy
weight. Dempsey has proved that
he has all the qualifications, both
as to weight, size, skill, aggres
siveness and hitting ability. Demp
sey was born lu 1895 and, there
fore. is 24 years of age. the period
of life in which an athlete is at
his best. He began boxing in
1915, and while his contestants
were practically unknown like
himself he showed superiority over
nearly all of them, in 1916 he
stopped Joe Bonds in the tenth
round and then won bouts from
"Terry" Kellar. "Wild" Bert Ken
ney, John Lester Johnson and oth
ers in clubs in this city. The only
black mark in his record was a
one-round knockout registered
against him by Jim Flynn at Salt
Lake City on February 13, 1917.
Dempsey stopped Flynn in the
first round last year.
Dempsey first attracted the at
tention of ring experts in the
closing months of 1917 by whip
ping Carl Morris and "Gunboat"
Smith in four round bouts on the
Pacific codst. He then came Fast,
knocked out Homer Smith in the
first round, and followed that by
winning from Morris in the fifth
round in Buffalo. Dempsey next

in the sixth round. Dempsey fol

Flynn and Fred Fulton in one
round each. Then he knocked out
"Battling" Levinsky in the third
round, and put Morris to sleep in
one round at New Orleans. "Gun

ond round up at Buffalo.

The same goes for any other fight

Gen. Jinjur's Army of Revolt • •
TIP was so anxious to rejoin his
man Jack and the Saw-Horse
that he walked a full half the
distance to the Emerald City with
out stopping to rest. Then he dis
covered that he was hungry and the
crackers and cheese he had provided
for the journey had all been eaten.
While wondering what he should
do in this emergency he came upon
a girl sitting by the roadside. She
wore a costume that struck the boy
as being remarkably brilliant; her
silken waist being of emerald green
and her skirt of four distinct colors
—blue in front, yellow at the left
side, red at the back and purple at
the right side. Fastening the waist
in front were four buttons—the top
one blue, the next yellow, a third
red and the last purple.
The splendor of this dress was al
most barbaric; so Tip was fully jus
tified in staring at the gown for some
moments before his eyes were at
tractd by the pretty face above it.
Yes, the face was pretty enough, he
decided: but it wore an expression
of discontent coupled to a shade of
defiance or audacity.
While the boy stared the girl look
ed upon him calmly. A lunch bas
ket stood beside her, and she held a
dainty sandwich in one hand and a
hard-boiled egg in the other, ating
with an evident appetite that aroused
Tip's sympathy.
He was just about to ask a share
of the luncheon when the girl stood
up and brushed the crumbs from her
lap.
"There!" said she: "it is time for
me to go. Carry that basket for me
and help yourself to its contents if
you are hungry."
Tip seized the basket eagerly and
began to eat. following her a time
the strange girl without bothering to
ask questions. She walked along be
fore him with swift strides, and there
was about her an air of decision and
importance that led him to suspect
she was some great personage.
Finally, when he had satisfied his
hunger, he ran up beside her and
tried to keep pace with her swift
footsteps—a very difficult feat, for
she was much taller than he, and evi
dently in a hurry.
; "Thank you very much for the
sandwiches," said Tip, as he trotted
1 along. May I as'/ your name?"
"I am General Jinjur," was the
! brief reply*.
"Oh:" said the boy. surprise.
"What sort of a general?"
"I command the Army of Revolt
in this war," answered the general,
with unnecessary sharpness.
"Oh!" he again exclaimed. "I
didn't know there was a war."
"You were not supposed to know
it,' she returned, "for we have kept it
a secret; and considefing that our
army is composed entirely of girls,'
she added, with some pride, "it is
surely a remarkable thing that our
revolt is not yet discovered."
"It is. indeed," acknowledged Tip.
'But where is your army?"
"Abqut a mile from here,' said
General Jinjur. "The forces have
assembled from all parts of the Land
of Oz, at my express command. For
this is the day we are an conquer
His Majesty the Scarecrow, and
wrest from him the throne. The
Army of Revolt only awaits my com
ing to march upon the Emerald City.
"Well" declared Tip, drawing a
long breath, "this is certanly a sur
prising thing! May I ask why you
wish to conquer His Majesty the
Scarecrow?"
"Because the Emerald City has
been ruled by men long enough, for
one reason," said the girl. "More
over, the City glitters with beautiful
gems, which might better be used for
rings, bracelets and necklaces; and

there is enough money in the King's
treasury to buy every girl in our
Army a dozen new gowns. So we
intend to conquer the City and run
the government to suit ourselves."
Jinjur spoke these words with an
eagerness and decision that proved
she was in earnest.
"But war is a terrible thing," said
Tip. thoughtfully.
"This war will be pleasant," re
plied the girl, cheerfully.
"Many of you will be slain!" con
tinued tjie boy, in an awed voice.
"Oh, no," said Jinjur. "What man
GENERAL JINJUR AND HER ARMY CAPTURE THE CITY
would oppose a girl, or dare to harm
her? And there is not an ugly face
in my entire army."
Tip laughed.
"Perhaps you are right." said he.
"But the Guardian of the Gate is
considered a faithful Guardian, and
the King's Army will not let the City
be conquered without a struggle."
"The Army is old and feeble," re
plied General Jinjur, scornfully. "His
strength has all been used to grow
whiskers, and his wife has such a
temper that she has already pulled
more than half of them out by the
roots. When the Wonderful Wizard
reigned the Soldier with the Green
Whiskers was a very good Royal
Army, for people feared the Wizard.
But no one is afraid of the Scare
crow, so his Royal Army don't count
for much in time of war."
After this conversation they pro
ceeded some distance in silence, and
before long reached a large clearing
in the forest where fully four hun
dred young women were assembled.
These were laughing and talking to
gether as gaily as if they had gath
ered for a picnic instead of a war of
conquest.
They were divided into four com
panies. and Tip noticed that all were
dressed in costumes similar to that
worn by General Jinjur. The only
real difference was that while those
girls from the Munchkin country had
the blue strip in front of their skirts,
those from the country of the Quad
lings had the red strip in front; and
those from the country of the Win-
had the yellow strip in front,

Bradley Haynes, a graduate of

Camp Oglethorpe, where he was a
member of the Greenleaf guards.
Members of the senior class show
ed the other three classes of the
school what piaterial is in the ranks
of the fourth-year class, in the 'way
of literary, musical and electrical
geniuses. It was the first of a series
of four entertainments that will be
given on the next four Friday morn

gram was a sextet composed of Nis

as the "Jazz Sextet" and were much
appreciated by the students.
Miller and Shank then put on a
cartooning stunt, much to the de
light, of the audience. Fellows. Shad

I f Tip thought this strgnge Army

this he was wrong. For each girl
had stuck through the knot of her
• back hair two long, glittering knit
| ting-needles,
i I General Jinjur immediately
mounted the stump of a tree and
addressed her army.
"Friends, fellow-citizens, and
girls!" she said; "we are about to
begin our great Revolt against the
men of Oz! We march to conquer
the Emerald City—to dethrone the
Scarecrow King—to acquire thou
sands of gorgeous gems—to rifle the
royal treasury—and to obtain power
over our former oppressors!"
"Hurrah!" said those who had
listened; but Tip thought mo3t of
the Army was too much engaged in
chattering to pay attention to the
words of the General.
The command to march was now
given, and the girls formed them
selves into four bands, or companies,
and set off with eager strides toward
the Emerald City.
The boy folloWed after them, car
rying several baskets and wraps and
packages which various members of
the Army of Revolt had placed in
his care. It was not long before
they came to the green granitft walls
of the City and halted before the
gateway.
The Guardian of the Gate at once
came out and looker at them curi
ously, as if a circus had come o
town. He carried a bunch of keys
swung r .und his neck by a golden
chain; his hands were thrust ca-e
--lessty into his pockets, and he seem
ed to have no idea at all that the
City was threatened by rebels
Speaking pleasantly to the girls he
said: '
"Good morning, my dears! What
can I do for you?"
"Surrender instantly!" answered
the George Matthew Adams Service.)
trical demonstration showed the
ability of the seniors. Weaver, Peif
er, Herbert, Shimer, Waehtman and
Uippl illustrated high frequency,
wireless and other interesting ex
periments. The "Jazz Sextet" and
the senior quartet concluded the
program with more delightful music.
It was a program placed on a high
plane by the fourth-year boys, and
will mean that the other three class
es will have to work hard to equal
the performance.
The program would not have been
complete without the president,
"Silent Will" Hoerner. This young
man acted as announcer for the var
ious acts, informing his audience of
what was to follow through the
medium of French. So that the
freshmen would know what he was
talking about, and also to let the
other two classes know that he him
self knew. "Bill" translated his
French into Intelligent English.
The Tech Social Dabce Club will
hold another "hop" at Hanshaw's
hall, Wednesday evening.
Monday, February 1-7. the mid'
year examinations will be held in
all of the four classes tor all sub
jects. The "exams" will continue
throughout the Week. Members of
the faculty will spend another week
reviewing their subjects.
General Jinjur,. standing before him
and frowning as terribly as her
pretty face would allow her to.
"Surrender!" echoed the man, as
tounded. "Why, it's impossible. It's
against the law! I never heard of
such a thing in my life."
"Still, you must surrender!" ex
claimedthe General, fiercely. "We
are revolting!"
"You don't look it," said the'Gqar
dian, gazing from one to another,
admiringly.
"But we are!" cried Jinjur, stamp
ing her foot, impatiently; "and we
mean to conquer the Emerald City!"
"Good gracious!" returned the
surprised Guardian of the Gates;
"what a nonsensical idea! Go home
to your mothers, my good girls, and
ntilk the cows and bake the bread.
Don't you know it's a dangerous
thing to conquer a city?"
"We are not afraid!" responded
the General; and she looked so de
termined that it made the Guardian
uneasy. •
So he rang the bell for the Soldier
with the Green Whiskers, and the
rext minute was sorry he had done
so. For immediately he was sur
rounded by a crowd of girls who
drew the knitting-needles from their,
hair and began ;.abbing them at the
Guardian with the sharp points
dangerously near his fat cheeks and
blinking eyes. ,
The poor man howled loudly for
mercy and made no resistance when
Jinjur drew the bunch of keys from
around his neck.
. Followed by her Army the Gen
eral now rushed, to the gateway,
where she was confronted by the
Royal Army of Oz— which was the
other name for the Soldier with the
Green Whiskers.
"Halt!" he cried, and pointed his
long gun full in the face of the lead
er
Somfi of the girls bcreamed and
ran back, but General Jinjur brave
ly stood her ground and said, re
proachfully:
"Why, how now? Would you
shoot a poor, defenceless girl?"
"No, 1 ' replied the so'dler; "for my
gun isn't loaded.'
"Not loaded?"*
"No; for fear of accidents. And
I've forgotten where 1 hid the pow
der and shot to load it with. But
if you'll wait a short time I'll try to
hunt them up."
"Dont trouble yourself," said Jin
jur, cheerfully. Then she turned to
her Army and cried:
"Girls, the gun Isn't loaded!"
"Hooray," shrieked the rebels, de
lighted at this good news, and they
proceeded to rush upon the Soldier
with the Green Whiskers in such a
crowd that it was a wonder they
didn't stick the knitting-needls into
one another.
But the Royal Army of Oz was
too much afraid of women to meet
the onslaught. He simply turned
about and ran with all his might
through the gate and toward the
royal palace, while General Jinjur
and her mob flocked into the unpro
tected City.
In this way was the Emerald
City captured without a drop- of
blood being spilled. The Army of
Revolt had,become an Army of Con
querors!

Giant Basketball Man
at Chestnut Street Hall
With Hazleton Tonight
All eyes in the basketball world
are turned upon the unique
battle which promises to bo pull
ed oft at Chestnut street to-night
when Gordon Ford's Independ
ents faces a hard job in macer
ating Hazleton of the State
League. "Horse" Haggerty is
due to get here in spite of snow
and Manager Ford sets great
hopes on this human rake, for
he is to have for opponent a
man taller than himself, Dick
Henry, who goes up in the air sii
feet., live inches.
Hazleton is as full of stars as
the Milky Way, having Pfaff,
leading scorer in the State
League, Russell, Novak and
Schaub. Fortunately for Ford,
Ike McCord Is on the job again,
though a little weak and hooked
up with Harry Rote they should
see that the home bulwarks are
protected. Dancing with a big
league orchestra will follow as
usual. The lineup is:
HAZLETON INDEPENDENTS
Pfaff, f. Rote, f.
