One of the causes of the popularity

and characteristic way of handling
the sport, is bearing fruit. "Joe s

The St. Mary's Catholic club team
jof baseball of Steelton organized
; for the coming season and will huve
[one of the fastest teams in the hls
| tory of the club which in the past
! four years furnished the best brand
|of ball in the amateur ranks. This
I season the team will furnish better
ball than in the past as they secured
| a franchise in the Allison liiil
Twilight League, the place left open
j by the Hick-A-Thrift club, and two
games a week will improve the team
: for Saturday, Sunday and holiday
| games.
The officers elected were as fol
: lows: Nicholas P. Zeranre. presi
dent and manager: Andrew Mariney,
assistant manager; Joseph Sostar,
secretary and treasurer; George Zer
: ance, temporary captain. There was
, fourteen players in the first workout
( held yesterday on the old Y. M. C. A.
| field. Although there are several
i players in service overseas Manager
\ Zerance has a nice squad to pick
| from and there are several promis
i ing players that look good to fill the
j place of the ones in the army.
The players who are in service
j are as follows: Shupp, captain, and
i second baseman of the old Central
j Penn League: Leidig, pitcher, for
' merly with tile University of West
; Virginia; Kirby, catcher: Dick Etter,
i outfielder of the old Central Penn

Gentlemen Meet When Lewis
and Dr. Roller Grapple
Probably one of the quickest pro
motions on record in the army has
been that of Ed. Lewis, just dis
charged, a top sergeant at Camp
Grant. Lewis gained the promo
tion, thanks to a display of courage
the first day he entered camp.
The famous wrestler was lined up
with hundreds of other men, bag
gage in hand, when two husky uni
formed men looking the line over
started making fun of the odd-look
ing recruits. Giving Lewis the once
over, one of them remarked, "Pipe
the fat bartender," while the other
said. "He sure looks like Fatty Ar
buckle." Lewis, flushed with rage,
dropped his grip and. walking over
to the first of the camp jesters,
picked him up bodily, twisting him
upside down and bounced him to the
ground, leaving him there, while he
| took a headlock on the other and
I threw him ten feet over the ground,
i and then asked the onlookers if they
wanted a sample of his work. Get
j ting no response, Lewis again joined
i the ranks.
While the two privates were pull
j ing themselves together the officer
! in charge stepped up to the gather
] ing and lauded Lewis for his action,
j saying that the spirit lie showed
I was the kind the army was looking
J for and he hoped the rest of the
j lineup were gifted with tHe same
I brand of courage. In forty-eight
i hours Lewis was made a corporal
and in two weeks promoted to a ser
; geant and later to top sergeant.
When Lewis was discharged the
! word "Excellent" was marked on
j his paper. The day he was dis
charged he said to a well-known
I sporting writer in Chicago: "It was
| a wonderful experience and I
I wouldn't sell my army service for
I a fortune."
When Lewis was appearing in the
\ New York tournament the New
i York Globe printed the following
I written by Alfred W. McCann:
, "Lewis is a wonderful type, agile,
| alive, powerful, with a beautiful
j body, and wonderful legs. He, too,
I like Zbyszko. in his physical great
, i ness, is indulgent to the faults of
i lesser men. 1 have seen him foul
' ed on a number of occasions by ex
| cited wrestlers. Under the provoca
tion he has winced for a second and
! then smiled broadly as though it
didn't matter at all.

j basemen in the amateur ranks:
! Gluntss, shortstop. Central Penn
i League: Books, first base. Central
I Penn league, will probably return,
! and Leed.v. left field. Central Penn

to secure Groupe from Middletown
and llohn from Highsplre to fill in
the outfield. These boys are fast
! fielders and heavy hitters and will
| strengthen the team,
i Among the other candidates who
! wilt try out for positions are: Jones,
j pitcher at Villanova, who will re

"STR ANGLER" LEWIS
its unlovely brutishness, I verily be
]ieye that this splendid creature will
deliberately forego such honor.
Lewis is a man, not a beast.
"The crowd likes Lewis for the
reason that it instinctively recog
nizes in him a combination of those
tiaits of which its popular heroes
are made. It knows that Ijewis
is game, sportsmanlike, fair, aggres
sive, and under perfect control. So
it pays its tribute to him nightly by
demonstrations of applause which
are unmistakably spontaneous and
well deserved."
That's a pretty high tribute from
a writer of the standing and promi
nence of Alfred W. M'Cann.
Another Xew York critic wrote of
Lewis thus:
"Ed. Lewis talks like a gentle
man, and nothing so helps a man to
talk like a gentleman as the mere
fact that he is a gentleman. Never
during his career on the mat has
there been any hint of a 'frame
up' in any contest which Lewis has
been connected with and never has
he been anything but the gentle
man and fair sportsman that he al
ways is, whether he is trying to pin
an opponent's shoulders to the mat
or attempting to push through a
new deal for the acquisition of an
other block of real estate.
"The success of Lewis can be at
tributed to the fact that he possesses
brains of a high order, wonderful
strength and a speed and agility not
possessed by very many smaller
men.
"Lewis has a wonderful, system of
wrestling. It took a lot of patient
toil and study and not a little in
tuitiveness to get his headlock
where it is. But it's there, perfect
ed as no one else has been able to
perfect it."
"Strangler" Lewis will meet Dr.
B. F. Roller, ex-American cham
pion, in a finish match, two falls out
of three, at the Chestnut Street Au
ditorium Tuesday night, and indica
tions are that one of the largest and
most refined audiences that ever at
tended an athletic contest in Har
risburg will be on hand to witness
the struggle.
Advance seats for the match are
on sale at Harry's cigar store and
the Schenk and Tittle sporting goods

Orpheum Theater Tonight
Stages Boxing Show
Leo Houck in his match to-night
with Larry Williams, of Bridgeport,
Conn., will be the center of atten
tion at the Frank Erne boxing show,
the first stage in this building in a
number of years. Williams, with his
manager. Sam Driver, arrived this
morning from Yankeeland and Wil
liams certainly looked in shape to
tackle the Lancaster veteran, who
was outpointed March 25 at St. Lou
is. by Mike Gibbons, the St. Paul
phantom. The Lancaster New Era
carries a story from the ringside
giving some details of the llouck-
Gibbons battle, to wit:
Referee lloisnor separated the
boys often during the eight rounds,
and the spectators did not take kind
ly to Houck's style of milling.
It was Gibbons' fight all the way
through in the opinion of sporting
writers.
For the first time in the history
of boxing in St. Louis there was a
liberal sprinkling of women through
out the audience.
Women by the score flocked to the
ringside due to an announcement
that suffragette leaders of national
fame woud witness the bout and
voice their approval of boxing in
speeches afterward. However, not a
single suffragette leader appeared in
the ring when called upon to speak,
and if they were in the audience they
remained as spectators. Approxi
mately ti.ooo persons witnessed the
bouts.
The Houck-Gibbons match was
staged in the Colliseum Jefferson anil
Washington avenues, which has a
seating capacity of from 14,000 to
20.000. It was a no-decision affair.
This is the second time Houck and
Gibbons have met. On May 20, 1915,
Ieo was outpointed by the Wis
consin wizard, who is a tistic marvel
in the art of selfdefense, and out
classes almost any oponent at pres
ent in the ring in that respect. In
that meeting, barring a damaged
eye, an old cut having been opened,
Houck bore no traces of the encoun
ter.
As the local boy's best work is
done at close range against a clever
fellow, it is easily understood why
the Missouri fans did not approve of
the style. It is acknowledged that
Gibbons can box rings around any
one in fcis division and Houck is not
as fast as he was when he gained
international fame by out-boxing
even clever Harry Lewis in Paris.
Gibbons knows the strength of
Houck's wallops also, and he does
