"ftONEY" BOXING PROGRAM FOk MOTIVE POWER SHOW; BIG YEAR FOR TENNIS PROMISED
Charges of Being Rough Demand
a Hot Challenge From Pitcairn
Sporting Editor, Ilarrisburg Tele
p. graph: A Mr. Dun Slep, formerly
of Altoona, but now of Pitcairn,
handed me the enclosed clipping
from one .of the Altoona papers
which greatly surprised me. to say
the least. It is wrong for either
Harrisburg or Altoona p&pers to
brand our team as rough necks,
for such is not the case. In fact we
played the strong Buhl club, of
Sharon this week, winning the
game by live points, and they said
Pitcairn was the cleanest team
which had appeared on their floor in
years.
When in both Altoona and Har
risburg, Pitcairn started out so fast
that both opposing clubs thought
they would use roughness to stop
them, and while both opposing
teams were much larger men and
heavier in weight, they should not
complain that they got the worst
of what they started.
We were not satisfied with ' the
game in Harrisburg. <We figure we
got the worst deal we have ever
received, and we have been in many
of the leading towns and cities
throughout the state. We were
forced to play strictly Harrisburg
rules, which were a mingling of
National, A. A. U. and Intercol
legiate. The referee was unfair.
AVhen we had the game won by one
point and the timekeeper's whistle
had sounded he insisted on a double
foul, but it looked too raw and there
was only foul shot. The manager of
the Harrisburg club came into our
dressing room and stated very em
phatically that we would have to
play an extra flve-minute period or
get no money.
Harrisburg fans came to us in
large numbers and commended us
and stated they did not like the deal
we got, and I might add that' in
all our playing around we havte nev
er seen a finer, better crowd than
what attended the game in Harris
burg. They were fair and impartial
Independents Squared Up
With Hancock, and
Steelton Also Won
Gordon Ford's doughboys went
over the top after the Hancock Five
of Quaker City on Saturday night,
getting revenge, 4 4-26. Ford, him
self, was the big attraction, furnish
ing seven field scores and being in
oix places at once, so that there
Heemed to be a couple of him. Han
cock tried to put the husky man
ager out of the fray by savage at
tacks, but Ford held on like a hun
gry dog to a juicy bone. "Hoss"
Haggerty met his Wdterloo in
Owens. Monk Gerdes and Rote
played good games while McCorU
missed but one attempt from the
foul line out of fifteen chances.

the Hancock quintet, caging live field

MONDAY EVENING,
and seemed to appreciate a good
play no matter who did it.
Your people spoke very well of
the Wilmerdtng Airbrake Club, stat
ing that it was the best club which
has ever appeared in your city re
cently. If we had been given any
show we could have done equally
as well as Wilmerding, for we beat
them by eleven points since we were
in Harrisburg.
We would bo willing to play that
club of Harrisburg's with their same
lineup and our same lineup on any
floor with a neutral referee, for the
gate receipts, using one set of rules,
either the National or A. A. U. Or
we would like to meet them again
on either our floor or their's for a
suitable gaurantee. If this is not
strong enough I beleive we could
arrange a side bet beside.
Trusting that you will straighten
up this little misunderstanding If
you can for which we will thank
you immensely.
Y'ours truly.
PITCAIRN BASKETBALL CLUB,
Homer L. Burgess, Secretary.
The Atloona criticism to which
Pitcairn objects was as follows:
"Pitcairn, conquerors of the Ma
chine Shop basketball team in two
games last week, suffered a licking
at Harrisburg Saturday night, 37-34,
in a game that Harrisburg writers
claim the roughest ever staged in
the capital cijty.
"Pitcairn was severely scored for
their exhibitions of dirty play. Al
toona fans viewed the rough-neck
tactics ,of the Quakers in this city
and the team evidently let loose
with the same stuff at Harrisburg.
Pitcairn quit the floor with the score
32-31 in the second half, Pitcairn
leading, with five minutes yet to
play. The Pitcairn team took along
the ball.
"After some wragling the game
was resumed and Harrisburg tallied
five points to the visitors two when
the final whistle tooted. Players
swapped punches and had a real
rough house."
Reports That Two Trains
Are to Be Replaced on
P. & R. Unconfirmed
Officials at the local offices of the
Philadelphia and Reading railroad
were unable to confirm the report
that two trains are to be added on
March 10. These trains are Nos. 94
and 99. Train No. 94 arrived in Har
risburg at 1.40 p. ni. and train No.
90 departed at 4.35 p. m. before the
trains were removed as a war meas
ure. Efforts have been made by the
llarrisburg Chamber of Commerce
together with similar organizations
in other cities, and a well founded
report has been circulated that the
trains are to be restored.

didly, having far excelled all pre
vious playing on their home floor.
The shooting of Fry, hawing made
sixteen points, and the floor work of
Patterson, were outstanding features
of the Varsity game. On the Fresh

made seven out of the fourteen
points tallied. The lineups and

NAVY BOYS MAT VICTORS
The Midshipmen wrestlers gained
another victory Saturday afternoon,
defeating Yale 24 to 4. All the bouts
were won on decisions and were
fought with cleverness and spirit.
Avery saved Yale from being
blanked by winning in the 175 pound
class. Jsbell made a plucky defense
and broke out of several dangerous
holds. Avery used a chin hold, some
thing new here, in combination with
others. Walling of Yale had to work
equally hard to save himself from a
fall at the hands of Maichle, the
Navy captain, in the uninlted
weight event.
Berry, Yale, and Adell. Navy, re
quired an extra six minutes in the
125 pound class before a decision
could be reached. Yale showed equal
strength and aggressiveness as the
Navy but did not appear to know the
game as well. They wrestled stripped
to the v waist, the first time such a
thing has been done before an audi
ence at the Naval Academy.

QUAKER CITY'S
CHARTER BILLS
Reform Measure a Huge Af
fair; Other Bills Are
Looming Up
No less than three separate bills,
providing a new charter for the city
of Philadelphia have been identified
as about to make their appearance
in the Legislature, and when they
are in hand the real strenuous time
of the session of 1919 will start. The
bill prepared by the Philadelphia
Charter committee for the ameliora
tion of the state metropolis is ready j
and it is said that Ex-Congnessman |
John R. K. Scott has a bill which
represents the Vare end of it.
The reform bill, which will replace
the Bullitt act, Is said by the Phila
delphia Record to be drastic, and. to
possess other attributes, while the
North American says that it will
abolish nbuseV and modernize means.
The Press says it makes "radical
changes" and the Public Ledger re
marks that it is "sweeping measure."
The Inquirer calls attention to the
fact that it is the result of much
study.
The essential features of this re
form bill which will be much in the
public eye for tbe next month are:
Elimination of all city and county
officeholders, including police and
firemen, from politics.
Reorganization of the civil service
commission for city departments and
the creation of a new civil service
commission for employes of county
departments.
Executive budget system for city
finances.
Council of a single chamber, mem
bers to be elected by senatorial dis
tricts, upon a basis of one represen
tative for each 20,000 assessed voters
or fraction thereof, exceeding 50 per
cent. This will give the city a coun
cil of twenty-one members.
City to do its own street cleaning,
garbage removal and disposal and
•paving of streets, except when coun
cil, by a three-fourths vote, decides
that it should be done by contract.
Long-terms contracts for municipal
work, giving council .power to abro
gate the contracts at any time after
live years.
Creating the position of purchasing
agent •'•.r city departments and one
for county departments. The pur
chasing agents are to make all pur
chases of supplies of all kinds. The
office of director of supplies is abol
ished. •
Abolishing the\office of Hie receiver
of taxes and providing fbr the col
lection of taxes by the city treasurer.
Making the city solicitor appoint
ive by the mayor, instead of elective,
as at present.
Creating li new department, under
the mayor, known as the department
of public welfare, having supervision
over the charities and playgrounds.
This takes from the director of
health and charities* the control over
the charitable institutions and abol
ishes tlie board of recreation.
Members of council to be paid $5,-
000 a year each and prohibited from
holding any other office for profit In
city, county, state or national govern
ment.
Prohibition of dual office-holding
by any city or county employes.
Election of mayor and councilmen
simultaneously for four-year terms.

ficits in the cost of maintenance the
last two years and bills carrying
funds to meet deficiencies in the in
stitutions that are managed by the
commonwealth will be closely scru
tinized before being approved by
Governor William C. Sproul. This is
the result of the discovery in check
ing up bills that the total sum asked
of the Legislature to meet de
ficiencies ' was $1,844,339.14. It
probably means that many of the
departments of the State government
which are asking for increases in al
lowances for salaries will be com
pelled to pare their estimates.
Sums running millions above the
total of $35,000,000 carried by the
general State government deficiency
have been asked by heads of de
partments or are contained in pre
liminary estimates, while the aggre
gate likely to be placed before the
Legislature from all sources Willi
run into unprecedented figures. j
The total statement of the bills
for deficiency bills,, including the
general state government deficiency
measure, runs as follows:
General deficiency bill, $762,-
840.45.

opponents that they have failed in
their program to kill it.
