lifi'lin and Reedsville Get in;
Millersburg Falls in Line
and Game Will Flourish
Six, and perhaps eight teams, will
i represented in the old Dauphin

ly four of the old towns reprcsent-
I. At last evening's meeting of the
legates in the Shcnk and Tittle
lorting Goods Store, Mifflin. Juni
la county, and Reedsville, Mifflin
mnty, wero officially admitted to
embership. l'ctitions were pre
inted from two other towns.
Mifflin and Reedsville are two of
le best baseball towns in the Ju
nta Valley. Both presented their
-titions for membership at last
■ ik's meeting, and were represent-
I at that time by the delegates.
Millersburg, one of the old towns
nsidereil doubtful until last cve
ng, fell in line and will again he
•presented by a strong aggrega
on. Dauphin, which reported at
st week's meeting that it woulo
represented this season, and Hal
ax, announced at the meeting that
ey woul he unable to present a
leup this season.
The trio of l'erry county teams
.■ all expected to be in line. New
rt and Duncannon have already
iile every arrangement and are
ire to be in line. Ground difficul
• s aro causing some concern at
arysville, but if these can be sat
factorily adjusted, th" town will
■ in line.
l'ctitions for berths were received
, two new towns, New Cumber-
Mi and Milton at last evening's
euting. Now Cumberland had a
legation of four representatives in
tendance and the petition was fav
ably considered, but because of the
rlier filing of petitions of Mifflin
ul Reedsville. these two were
anted. The chances of New Cum
rland landing a place in the league
e considered good, however.
l:i the event that Mar.vsville finds
•rself obliged to withdraw. It is fx
icted that the franchise will he
varded to New Cumberland. If not,
'oris will be made to secure an
her town in this territory in order
round out an eight club circuit.
Important matters relative to sal
y, non-resident players and a num
r of other matters, were considered
lust evening's meeting, but no
finite action was reported. Anoth
meeting will be held within the
xt week when all details will be
ranged.
With the addition of the new
wns in Juniata and Mifflin roun
•s, the old name, Dauphin-Perry is |
i longer exactly applicable and the
ime may be changed. There is,
nvevor, a sentiment in favor of the
tention of the old name.

WEDNESDAY E\' ENING, HAJtRISBURG IAIAi TELEGRAPH 1 MARCH 26, 1919.
Steetlon, next Wednesday night, and
judging from the following bouts ar
ranged by the veteran, the show will
be even better than the first, which
was voted the best seen in this sec
tion for years. "Lew" Mutzell, of
Lancaster, who showed himself to be
a real one by beating "Young" Rus
sell, in the last bout of the club, will
tackle Lancaster's best lightweight in
"Eddie" 1-oeeker. Loecker has
tried to be placed several times in this
section, but it seems as if no one
wants his game.
"Black Gunboat" Smith, of Harris
burg, the clever deaf-mute, who beat
his last man, was matched by request
of "Joe's" patrons, with "Billy"
Brown, of Lancaster. "Jackie" Barks,
touteu as best 122-pound
boy, will meet Young "Johnny" Gill,
of York. Barrett handles the real
Gill, who is now across in Germany,
and he says this boy must make gdbd,
or lose the name he carries. The
opener is between "Kid" Jones, of
Lancaster, and "Pat" O'Connor, of
Hortisburg, two light heavyweights,
who have no love for each other.

O'Keefe Shaded Schiff
in Disappointing Bout
With a couple even rounds and
two distinctly in favor of Otto
O'Keefc, Sammy Schiff, at the Mo
tive Power boxing show last night,
did not do himself full credit and in
the general opinion, lost the de
cision. Schiff cannot continue to
battle so often If he would make a
good Impression. His battle the
night before with Medar at Phila
delphia, left him battered with slight
energy. O'Keefe was no world's
wonder, either, and the bout was a
disappointment. Sammy should lay
off longer than one day if he wants
to make the best showing he is ca
pable of. His left leads, his chief
blow, missed every time and it took
no clever boxer to evade them. What
Sam needs is a two-weeks work-out
and he will be back in his premier
shape.
The Motive Power should not have
signed him up, directly after a hard
fight the night previous, and the
management is also blamed for call
ing in so many substitutes. A par
ty named Young Donovan was
picked at the last moment to en

\ ery properly, the first national
pastime fray of this vicinity for the
year 1919 was a victory for thd
American Eagles, Jr., at Steelton
yesterday, where they walloped the
St. Mary's club, 9-4. A big crowd of
Steeltoniles who must depend on thd
amateur brand this summer, rushed
to the spot and blew off the lid with
a roar like the seven o'clock whistle.
It was just perfect for baseball,warm
enough to ginger all hands and put
the pep in the twirlers. Ledger was
so juiced up with the shad-tlles buz
zing round that he smote a double
and triple. The casualty list was: '

fastest and most competent boxer in
this town at present. Nate finished
his man in one minute and 15 sec
onds. This chap should be known
as the "Human Ten Pin" for he has
been knocked out five times in two
weeks. He may like it, but the spec
tators do not.
! Another substitute was Coushle,
though some said his name was
"Cootie," by the way he stuck close
to Joe Dorsey, of Philadelphia, who
shaded him all the way, although he
was heavier than Joe by ten pounds.
The only brisk fight of the evening
was that between Maxle Williamson
and Young Fulton. They never rest
ed .one second but were after each
other from "tap of gong and" and
neither had a shade to the finish.
