SCHIFF MEETS O'KEEFE AT MOTIVE TOWER SHOW TONIGHT; THE "STRANGLER" COMING WANTED—BALL TEAM HERE TO MEET WILLIAMSPORT With the revival of baseball on a prodigious scale this year every body is asking whether Harrisburg is ever going to have a representa tive team. There is no chance at any established league; all are filled up. The matter was discussed with some bitterness yesterday by cer this late date of hooking up with tain enterprising men here who had the misfortunes to drop a few thou sands each on attempting to stage good, professional ball in the capital city. Naturally, these persons are not very keen to experiment again, although it is possible they would, were they in full understanding with the Park Department, which con trols the leasing of the Island grounds. It seems incredible that a city of Harrisburg's size and importance does not have at least one represen tative ball club, which could keep us on the map. The Allison Hill and West End leagues are doing their part, but with a busy schedule they will seldom have the time to take on a team from outside, such as offers to-day from Williamsport. Its let ter reads as follows: Williamsport, Pa., March 24, 1919.

Dear Sir— We are placing a baseball club in the lield the coming season to repre sent our company and we expect to have one of the best clubs that has represented Williamsport in some time. Mr. William Hinchman, for merly of the Pittsburgh National League Club, is managing our club this year and he has gathered to gether what we consider some very fast men. We would like to make up our schedule for the season and were wondering whether you would be interested in paying ball both here and at Harrisburg. We would like to receive an early reply as to what your intentions may be so we can govern ourselves accordingly for our schedule. If interested, details can be worked out later, that would he satisfactory to us all. We expect to start our season around May 1 and we are in touch now with the Bethlehem Steel League, York and a number of oth er places, which will give you an idea of the class of ball we expect to put up here. An early reply will be appreciated. Very truly yours, Lycoming Foundry and Machine Company Athletic Association, JOHN R. WALTON. Business Manager. the same man.

The bouts to-night will begin sharply at 8.30. The same Max?

Strangler Lewis is unquestionably America's foremost wrestler, and the most noted Yankee mat artist since the days of Frank Gotch and Dr. 110 - j ler, who announced recently that he I would return to the mat for the pur pose of wrestling the world's title | from Zbbszko. Lewis had Zbyszkoj las good as whipped in their battle! |in New Y'ork last week, with his j mighty headloek, only to lose when i (victory was well within his clasp! j when Zbyszlto fell heavily upon him I and knocked him out of breath. Up i to that time the match was all go-! ing the way of the noted Strangler.! Lewis was man enough to admit de- | feat and to give full credit to his I worthy opponent. He is hoping for I another match with Zbyszko as de feat took none of his confidence out of him. i Lewis has been the sensation of the wrestling world since he broke' into fame a few years ago. He has ! | met and defeated all the big mat men of the world, including Zbyszlto, I the world's present champion. In Draak he meets an opponent worthy of his steels and one of the fastest and most aggressive wrestlers in America to-day. The Belgium Lion is keen for a meeting with Strangler Lewis and] thinks he can give him a great fight, i The battle will go to a positive fin-' I ish, best two out of three falls and' Iwil be preceded by some cracking! good preliminaries. The announcement of this bigi match will be warmly welcomed by I | Harrisburg fans, who were distinctly I pleased with the high quality of (wrestling shown here in the Zbyszko | Madras match last week. The sport made such a distinct hit that it is firmly intrenched here and will, no I doubt draw capacity houses from I now on. In bringing Lewis here j Sergt. Baumann has hit upon the ; great wrestler who is bound to make | a big hit with wrestling bugs in this i city. Lewis is not only a great, wrestler, but one of the most popu-' lar athletes in America to-day, be cause he is a most likeable man and a clean sportsman in every way. Draak will be here a few clays be fore the match to complete his train ing for the big event. Use McNeil's Pain Exterminator—Ad SNOODLES By Hungerford ! I ~ Slf rctxuiKi' V SAV ! 1 . DATS ?

It is generally i agreed that Miller is a terrific hit -1 ter and is at home in taking a good ! lacing, but in Borrell it will be an 1 entirely different case, as Borrell is noted all over the country and Eu -1 rope as a fierce hitter. In fact, in addition to being the only fighter . who ever made the now famous ■ iron man, Joe Grim, take the count, all of the near past middleweight champions have felt his sting, in MAYOR KEISTER IS SOME "FAN" Starts the Allison Hill League For Season With the First Contribution At a meeting held last nigbt of the board of directors of the Allison Hill Baseball League the St. Mary's team was awarded a franchise in the Hill organization. The circuit for the 1919 season will be composed of Reading. Rosewood, Galahad and St. Mary's. The newcomers have been repre sented on the diamond by one of the fastest local amateur nines and have always been noted for their clean play. With the addition of this or ganization. fans predict that the league will be the best rounded or ganization of any of the four other preceding seasons. St. Mary's has presented a strong line-up of stars that have again been signed, and prospects are that they will make the other teams of the league hustle to win from them. Treasurer A. H. I'ritz announced at the meeting that the first contri bution for the financial support of the league had come from Mayor D. L. Keister. "His Honor" is one of the most loyal fans the Ilill or ganization has, and the managers are pleased because of the fact lhat the contribution was sent evea be fore the letters asking for fing*2es State. Bennett and Briggs at center did good work. The guarding was mainly done by Seiders and Peters whom one college coach picked as the equal of the guards of his college team. McElhone who played the last three games is another end at guard and who will be lost by Solders next year who will be lost by graduation. The defeated teams Include Juniata College Reserves, Hollidaysburg High School, Lewistown High School, Hunt ingdon High-School, Tyrone High School, Bellefonte High School, Houtzdale High School, Phillipburg High School, Burn ham High School. Oberlln High School Alumni, and Altoona High School. eluding George Chip, Harry Greb and A 1 McCoy. Going out of his class, the New Yorker beat Walter Monohan, the man who trained Willard to beat Jack Johnson and will train the champion to meet Jack Dempsey on July 4. About the end of November, 1916, Borrell made a tour of Europe and cleaned up without being beaten be fore sailing home again. When Uncle Sam declared war, Borrell joined the Navy and served until the armistice was signed. Since then he has not been beaten. Four weeks ago he won his bout with Johnny Wolgast in Philadelphia on a foul in the second round. Truth is, Borrell only lost one decision, that was to "Silent" Martin, the deaf and dumb heavyweight, on May 9, 1916, in Providence. Barrett was loath to use Miller again for a while, but came to the conclusion that it would be just Mil ler's liking to swap punches with Borrell, and it should surely be a toe-to-toe swatfest. All the winners in the club's last preliminaries will meet better men in the coming show. have been sent out among the pa trons.

With King Baseball about to as cend the throne at Tech, and the track candidates about tio "get set" basketball at this institution is about to go Into quarters for another year, after the most remarkable season in the history of the school. Tech has won 14 out of 15 games, the single reverse coming with a one-point defeat at Lebanon. It is a record that is hard to beat and it is doubtful of any other quintet in the country has a better record. The season will close Friday night at Chestnut street hall when the Maroon will oppose their old time rival, Steelton High school. Tech was barely able to nose out the lower-end lads a week ago, and the visitors may be counted upon to make a good showing. As a prelimi nary, the second teams of the two institutions will match their prowess. Wants Germany to Pay U. S. War Debt Trenton, X. J., March 25.—A reso lution asking the Peace Conference to accept from Germany nothing less than the war debt of America in the world war and urging that the peace terms provide that German officers responsible for atrocities in the war be punished, was introduc ed in the Senate last night by Sen ator "William H.

The lineup of the team is as follows: Frank Williams, third base; Charles Schwartz, second base; John Gasoline is Power Gasoline is more than merely "gasoline". It is liquid dynamic energy, capable of moving massive trucks and touring-cars with infinite ease. Man has but to command and gasoline responds to the merest movement of throttle. Gasoline-driven trucks carry the merchandise of the city and distribute the products of the farm. They are an inseparable part of our daily lives—the connecting link between supply and demand. Motor-trucks have a big job. They must perform that job economically. That is why most trucks use Atlantic Gasoline regularly. For, truck-users have definitely proved that Atlantic Gasoline represents the greatest Power , the longest mileage at the least cost per mile. You want this same dynamic energy, this irresistible force to drive your trucks and passenger-cars. No matter whether you have one truck or a fleet, Atlantic Gasoline will show a profit that cuts down your overhead to a negligible minimum. Fix this fact firmly in your mind. Atlantic Gasoline is Power , not simply "gasoline". You want Power. There fore, you want Atlantic Gasoline. There are garages and service-stations along the roads you travel ready and eager to serve you with Atlantic Gasoline. Ask for Atlantic by name. No other fuel will do for you.
