Field, Harvard University. Those who have seen the idol of Fenway Park shoot a few over this week declare he is in splendid condition. Hugh Duffy, who has charge of the Harvard baseball squad, is quite en thusiastic over Ruth and takes keen delight in watching the big hurler let 'em go. Ruth objects to the term "hold out." He declares he is fighting for only what ho believes he is worth to the Boston team. He flatly refuses to give any consideration to trade talk. It's the Red Sox for him or no baseball this year. Camp Hill High School Defeats Central, 18 to 9 In the best exhibition of basket ball ever played in the Camp Hill gymnasium, the Camp Hill girls sur prised Central by a score of 18-9. By doing this the Camp Hill maid ens made good their defeat at the hands of Central on March 7, by a | score of 29 to 3, at which time Cen ! tral had her easiest time of the sea son and had been almost confident of defeating Camp Hill the second time, but their hopes were in vain. The Camp Hill girls were right with their opponents throughout the game and allowed them to tally but one field goal. Captain Denison, with five field goals to her credit and Fry, with one field goal and six foul goals to her credit, were the stellar play ers in the game, although the entire Camp Hill team must be compli mented for their wonderful playing, since they defeated a High school above their class. The game was marked by clean fast, playing on both sides.

Borrell has met three world's champions In his time without being beaten decisively, namely George Chip, A 1 McCoy and Henry Lewis. He won the Kuropeun title by beating Marcel Moreau, in Paris; won the middleweight champion of the U. S. Navy by knocking out Ben Kech, during the war when Borrell wore the blue for Uncle Sam. MiHer is known here as one of the his recent bout with Johnny Wolgast coolest men ever seen in this section, ns proved, when Herman went through the mill with a laugh, at the same time had claret flying from Wolgast's face and - came out himself without a scratch. Barrett is praying for warmer weather so he can pull his shows in the open air, where he has unlimited space for his patrons and can i.fford to ofTer purses that will leave no boxer beyond his reach to entertain his patrons. It is only Barrett's long acquaintance with such topnotchers as Borrell, Miller, Jeff! Smith, Johnny Kilbane, Battling l,e vinsky. Jack Britton, Jack Dempsey, in fact all of them who appreciate Joe's efforts to elevate boxing, that enables the veteran to secure themfor such small purses that he can af,ord to pay them with such small seating capacity; not only matching the stars equally suits Barrett, but he always alms to match the other bouts on his card the same, and he generally succeeds, as the other four bouts on the card will prove.

Dr. Roller Must Break the "Stranger's" Headlock to Win Nothing ever gave such impetus to a sport in any city than did the patching of those two premier wrestlers, Ed (Strangler) Lewis and Dr. B. F. Roller, for a linish match in this city Tuesday night. At one Jump Harrisburg landed one of the biggest bouts of all time and one that will be an undisputed battle for the American heavyweight title. This is true because of Lewis' recent vic tory over Joe Steelier which, com bined with Earl Caddoek's retire ment from the mat game, left him with a sure claim to the American title. As Dr. Roller was former chamion his meeting here with Lewis on Tuesday at the Chestnut Street Auditorium will bo for the American heavyweight title. The match is attracting no end of attention in this part of the State. Never before have two such noted sportsmen and athletes ever met in a match of any kind in Harrisburg and a big turnout is predicted to witness the sensational battle which is bound to ensue when so much is at stake. Not only is the winner entitled to the American title but in addition he is practically sure of a match with the mighty Pole, Wladek 55by szko, who now reigns supreme as a world champion. Truly, the stake to be struggled for Tuesday night is well worth the superhuman ef fort of both men. The big question, ns well ns the turning point of the match, seems to rest with the ability of Holler to break clear of the famed hehdlock of "Strangler" Lewis. If the old gladiator can do this he should be able to win the affair as Lewis has never yet beaten a big man without applying that gruelltng hold enough times to wear him down, even if an other hold ended the affair. Say what he may the "Strangler" needs his best, the headlock, in every im portant match be ent- — 'or without NEW CASES OF TYPHOID FEVER Mechanicsburg Health Board Has Twenty-One Names on List of Town Sufferers Mcchanlcsburg, Fa., March 29.

Swatara Township Asks For Two Miles of Road j Representatives of the residents of ] Swatara township appeared before the j county comrnisioners yesterday after -1 noon and presented a petition for j county aid in the construction of a i two-mile stretch of roadway in that | district, extending from the Penn | Highway to the old Horseshoe pike. This would include paving the main street in Oberlin. Charles E. Livingston, president of the township commissioners and E. M. Hershey, attorney for the hoard, appeared before the county officials, who iinally decided that because of lack of funds the township officers should make plans for the construc tion of the more important parts of the roadway. While the county is planning ex tensive road building work the of ficials must first aid in the comple tion of a road between Linglestown and Paxtonia, which will cost $70,- 000. About $106,000 in state, county and township appropriations will be available for road work in the next two years, and nfter the Linglestown road is finished $36,000 will remain in the fund's for other construction. Five German U-Boats Being Brought to U. S.

TO MAKE TRIAL FLIGHT London, March 29.—A trial flight ■will take place next month, accord ing to the Daily News, of a Tarrant super-triplane. The newspapers says the machine is capable of car rying more than a hundred passeng ers. it he is lost. It is his trump card and there is no way of getting around this fact, v Roller, the dean of American wrestling, is the best known of them all, and his mat career is full of thrilling matches marked with sen sational features. He has downed every big man of the game and es tablished a record for aggressive ness that is unsurpassed to-day. Re cently Roller came out for reforms in wrestling. He advocated nothing but matches to a finish. A few years ago the rules called for a time limit bout. As a result matches got slower for the simple reason that the big men took no chances In a time limit bout and as few falls were recorded few decisive results came about. Following the war and the resump tion of wrestling the advice of Roller was followed. The local promoter, upon his arrival here, stated he would hold nothing but finish match es and that in order to make every thing certain would demand that the participants in bouts staged here go the best out of three falls. Bau mann made good his promise. Hence the interest in the big match at the Chestnut Street Auditorium next Tuesday when Roller and Lewis bat tle for the best two out of three falls. That such a deal is best for the game was clearly shown in the Zby szko-Stecher match in the far west last minth. In that struggle Rtecher secured the first fall only to lose the next two. The skill and endurance of Zbyszko won out In the end, otherwise the Pole would not rank as world's champion to-day. Seats for the big match here Tues day night are now on sale at Harry's Cigar Store and at the Shenk and Tltt'e Sporting (foods Store. Every indication points to a rec ord breaking house and the fans should make reservations now to get the best seats.

In the last set-to, each team having won one game, Hoss Hag gerty was hand-cuffed by Owens and much interest centers in what the Hoss will be able to do this trip.

Al Lippe May Bring Frankie Brown Here; One Honest Boxing Manager Last night saw the town full of boxing men, promoters, fighters, touts, trainers and every kind of buster that goes with the pugilistic circus. Half a dozen men were in troduced in the Orpheum ring and a score had tho lad who can clean up the universe. A 1 Lippe sent word that Frankie Brown is ready to de fend the featherweight title gained from Johnny Kilbane. He says: "Brown has defeated every good boy in the world, Shubert, Chaney, Champion Pete Herman, Kid Wolfe, Jack Sharkey, Joe Burman, Young Sandow, Louisiana, Billy Bevans, Gussic Lewis, Jabez White, Artie Root. He would like to match him \ to fight here. The wiso guys fanned themselves j into a frenzy over all sorts of topics and one man quoted Billy Rocap, the well-known sporting editor and referee who tells a story about a manager whose word, is as good as his bond and who never signs a con tract. He is the manager for Joe box, his xame is Johnny Alooney and being from Boston is a high brow. Says Rocap: "Fox is the holder of the Lord Lonsdale belt. This little rosy-cheek ed Briton beat all the bantanweights on tho British Isle who cared to match their skill with him. He wad ed through that class three times. Then he annexed the Lord Lonsdale belt. The war being over, Fox point ed himself for America. He came for tho ostensible purpose of taking the featherweight title back with him. So much for Fox, because this story is dedicated to Johnny Moo ney, who has proven himself a rarity in the boxing world. "Mooney has been a manager of j Fans Hoot Good Boxing What's the matter with Harrisburg ring fans? I.ast night at the fine show of Frank Krne at the Orpheum theater, ihc galleries and a good part of the rest of the spectators hissed loudly at some of the best fighting, appearing to have no dis* crimination whatever "in judging ■food boxing. The lfouok-Williams bout was fast hard punching from the tap of the gong, with each man ! working as hard as ho knew how with his own particular style and yet they were hooted to an eclio. On the other hand Nate Jsaacman was upplauded loudly, although he could no better than draw with Young Mahoney, of Baltimore, a substitute called in at the last minute. It may have been the continual in-fighting of Leo Houck which caused the up roar. But this was his cue, for Larry Williams had it on him in weight and reach and height, but the battle was as lively as could be asked for Houck had to keep tn close, it was his only safety, for Williams certain Golden Jubilee of Sufis Will End This Afternoon By Associated Press.

He lias a unique reputation— one perhaps never equaled by any manager of boxers in this or any other country. He never signs arti cles of agreement. Johnny Mooney's word is his bond* Ho has for the last fifteen years arranged matches for his stable of boxers with sucli astute matchmakers as Billy Mc- Carney, Jack llanlon, Herman Muggsy Taylor, Billy Reynolds, George Engel, Bob McCusker, Jim Feeney, Johnny Frank Laus and a score of others.

The kid chewed gum all the while he boxed and wore a perpetual smile. Frankie McGuire, of Williamsport, made short work of Jack Anderson, of Baltimore, giving him the K.
