At that time it was proposed to discuss plans for the linancing of the project and also to elect a man ager. Four games have already been booked for the nine and after a lapse of four years from the dia mond, it is thought that baseball would again be successful. Very like ly a vaudeville will be staged to linance the proposition. While Lansford High school, champions of the coal region, have been booked for March 14, it is un derstood that if Tech can secure the Philadelphia All-Scholastics for a " contest on that night, the coal region lads will be Invited to play on a later date. The pick of the Philadelphia High school teams has been assembled and they are going to barnstorm the state. Just what caliber Tech realty is would to put to a great test, as three of the Philadelphia captains are on the quintet.

"If the present plans work out. eight team leagues will be formed in about six sections of the city, •which will furnish plenty of amuse ment for the boys. We will .have a regular season with full sched ule of games, and an inter-league contest will be arranged for the championship of the city. Promi nent merchants have offered to do nate suitable prizes for the winners. "In the recent boxing contests I have witnessed, the athletic prowess of the French boys, and if they can improve that much in boxing, I am sure that the same will hold good for baseball. Already many of the youngsters have taken up the game, and there are several amateur teams now playing the game in Paris. "We expect to have at least 100 uniformed teams in Paris next sum mer, and with such a foundation I laid, it will mean the gradual in- j troduction of baseball to every NEW HEATING SYSTEMS DESIGNED!

On to Bonding "On to Reading'Ms the cry at Tech where Coach Miller is laying plans to trounce the Berks county lads. If Tech opens up an artillery lire on Reading like it did on Lebanon the second half, they will bombard the Reading baskets with a sufficient number of field goals to land the contest. It is the belief that no high school player can stop Captain Lin gle's dribbling, without committing a foul. "Bud" should take the ball down the floor more in this manner. If Wllsbach can be used in this game it will add lots of strength to the team. One of the most dangerous men on the Reading team is Fried man at center. A large crowd of rooters will go along. but much interest will be centered no doubt, in the battle twixt nifty Joe McCarron, the black-haired Irish lad and Joe Marks, known as the "Hebrew Phantom." The latter gave an uncommonly fast exhibition at the last show and impressed the fans with the fact that ho is hard to beat. Billy Segal and Bobby Williams, one from Pliilly, the other from Trenton, are not so well known here, but both are experience pugs and are highly recommended to the manage ment. "Everything set" was the word this morning. "Best bill we have presented." Marysville Planning to Have First-Class Team in Baseball Marysville, Pa., March 6.

At. this time action will be taken to place a team in the Dauphin-Perry I.eague in the . event it is reorganized, and will make arrangements to aid in its reorganization. In the case that the league is not reorganized, an independent organization will be formed. Businessmen have promised to hack the team this year, and it is believed that through the co operative effort in which it is planned to conduct affairs of the team, the sport will be put on a firmer basis than it has occu pied within the past several years. young athlete in this city. I find the French youngster keenly in terested in the game, and with the proper organization and the help of the professors, prospects look unusually bright. "There is a plant on foot to se cure several professional players to assist in introducing the game throughout France, and this will mean an organization which will not be behind that of the United States among the schools. Only by. the introduction of baseball to the youngster, can I see a real future for the great American game. With in the next decade we shall see international contests which will be welcomed by the baseball loving pub lic of the United States." At the present time tlie A. E. F is working on a plan to stage a series of elimination contests among the soldiers in France. it is ex pected that the two leading teams will tour 1-ance to assist in intro ducing the game to the French peo- P i. T. he French have found that baseball has given the soldiers from T nited States a training that fitted in well with military life, and are naturally interested in promoting this athletic activity among their own boys.

Joe Barrett, the veteran promoter and former manager of Miller, is con ducting the steel city bouts, and in all his previous shows he has so act ed as the third man in the ring. Joe says while he does not mistrust other referees, he, alone is responsible for any misjudgment in a battle, and must make good with his patrons, and many times no matter how hon est a man's intentions are, there is liable to be a slip up. Hence, Joe says he is in the game to please those who pay their cash at the box office, and no one fighter. Wolgast understands this, so when the matter of a referee was brought up on the side line of articles, there was little difficulty over this part of (he contract, as Johnny put it, "Bar rett will suit me, as he is the man responsible, not only to me, but to i every man in the house, and I know WITH THE BOWLERS Stars of the Academy evened up with the Has-Beens by beating them last night with a remarkable total of 2093 pins.
