TECH WILLHAVEGOODBALLTEAM; TWO FINE BOXING SHOWSTO BE STAGED HERE NEXT WEEK
Hot Stuff! Tech Is Out
For Classy Baseball
Baseball as a sprirg sport is going
• to get another boost, according to.
the meeting that was scheduled to
take place after school tills after
noon. 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.
Here is the proposed lineup: For

MOTIVE POWER READY
On the approach of the great box
ing tourney at the Motive Power
arena next Tuesday night the man
agement announce that they are de
sirous of staging any and all local
talent which is capable of putting
up an interesting scrap. "Local
boys," is the slogan and it is
ed that the city will in this way de
velop, eventually, a real champion.
This lively organization is conducted
in systematic fashion by railroad
men of the P. R. R. who do things
tip in big league shape, and their aim
is to give Hprrisburg good sport.
The whole program is high class,

"If the present plans work out.
eight team leagues will be formed

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.
Plans for the 1919 baseball sea
son in Marysville will be consid
ered at a meeting of baseball
fans on Monday evening. The
meeting will be held in the Y. M.
C. A. building in Valley street.
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.

HERMAN MILLER '
It is seldom that one fighter will
agree to have the former manager of
another man he is to fight in the ring
acting as referee, but this is just
what Johnny Wolgast has agreed
upon, in his coming fight with Her
man Miller next Wednesday night at
the Standard theater in Steelton. 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
