- ALUMNI BODY
Graduates of School Invited
to Attend Easter Banquet
of Centvalian Society
Plans are rapidly being completed for
llio Eastertide banquet which the Cen
tralian Society of Central High School
will hold in this city on April 23.
Announcement was made yesterday
>y the committee in charge of arrange
nents that all Central alumni students
tnd friends would be welcome at the big
'stunt" which promises to be one long
■emembered in scholastic circles.
For some time the impression has been
trowing among old "grads" of the school
n this city, that with the passing of
'Old Central" as a coeducational insti
tution. a permanent alumni organization
ihould be formed for the benefit of the
ioys who have studied in the far-famed
ild "Harrisburg High school," which
ater became the Central High of to
lay.
Numbered among the alumni of the
nstitution are a vasfc majority of the
msiness leaders of Harrisburg and vi
.'inity, numbering among them the pres
ent Lieutenant-Governor of Pennsylva
tia. In athletics. Central High has long
teld the spotlight in the high school
world. Her athletes have, during the
last fiften years, carried off most of the
lilverware in sight.
Numerous alumni think that to let an
institution such as this, pass without
ecognition, would be a serious mistake, j
ind without doubt preliminary steps to- I
ward the organization of an active
ilumni body will be taken at the coming j
>ig "feed."
All Central Alumni students and
friends of the institution who wish to
ittend the banquet which will be held at
7.30 Wednesday evening. April 23, are
Invited to get in touch with the chair

Intruding Summer Warmth
Persuades Timid Buds to
Make Their Appearance
Summer warmth intruded into Sun
day's weatiter yesterday and by even
ing had persuaded timid buds to make
their appearance on trees and bushes i
all over the city. The cool air of the I
earlv morning gave way before the I
warm rays of the April sun and by i
noon top coats were cast aside and 1
hundreds of men and women did their
Sunday walking but lightly clad.
Women threw open their kitchen
doors to let the sun flood their throne
rooms. Children scampered into back
yards and old men once more were :
found with pipe in mouth on the (
traditional bench upon which they had
rested before chilling November winds 1
drove them beside their housewives .
b ,*£rths.
In Capitol Park signs of spring were
in evidence. The lively SQUirrels
scampered and chattered in the grass ,
that seemed greener than the day he
fore. They ate front the hands of eltil- .
dren, turning saucily away when they 1
found that what they were offered was ■
not of their liking.
Along the river shore the park was j
filled with walkers throughout the day
and until evening when wind front the ;
river drove, hundreds who had basked ,
In the sunshine for several hours back j
to their homes.
The front porch again came Into j
favor and on streets where the after
noon sun shone brightly whole families
could be seen enjoying the glorious
weather. Spring was trying to creep
into the lap of summer and for several
hours nearly succeeded.

MONDAY EVENING,
MANAGER ERNE
ANSWERS FLYNN
(Boxing Promoters Have Hot
Argument Over "Ringer"'
Who Fought ilouek
Frank Erne announces to-day that his
wind-up bout at the next Orpheum box-
ing show will hook up Frankie McGuire
and Mike Vraine, the Washington Cop.
who went ten sensational rounds with
Jack McCarren, in AUentown. the other
night. Erne is considerably riled at the
charges of Leo P. Flynn. manager of
Al McCoy, former middleweight cham
pion, who has spread broadcast the in
formation that the Al McCoy who boxed
Leo Houck, at Lancaster, recently, was
a "ringer." His name may be McCoy but
he is not the one everybody has heard of
in the ring. Flynn narrates how he
could not get the real Al McCoy for the
night in question and how Erne substi
tuted a fellow who takes the name Al.
McCoy, but who long since has stopped
boxing, and * furthermore, has "Loco"
and that he .wasn't killed in the fight, is
a piece of good luck, not good judgment
on the part of Frank Erne, the promoter.
The using of this "Bogus" McCoy after
writing me several letters, to stage the
ex-champion, on the same date, March
31, was just a "subterfuge" of the "boot
black" promoter.
Flynn got so agitated over the inci
dent that he demands to have boxing un
der police surveillance.
Erne, in his statement to-day, puts it
like this: "I corresponded with Flynn
for the use of the original Al. McCoy,
but his terms were far above what I am
paying Houck and the men who are box
ing him here. He wanted even more
than Greb and Levlnsky, both far better
men than McCoy ever was. I had re
ceived a leter from Jack Moore asking
me to use Mike McHighe.
"I telegraphed terms to Moore for
McTlghe and he replied that McTiglie
was sick but that he "could furnish me
with Al. McCoy, at the terms 1 named
for McTlghe. This left me under the j
impression that 1 could get Al. McCoy
at the terms I could afford to pay, so j
I jumped at the chance.
• I have often dealt with boxers who
are in the stable of several managers,
and for McCoy to have two managers,
therefore, appeared perfectly logical. I
was so badly fooled as was the public i
when the Al. McCoy that appeared here 1
last Monday night was not the original j
Al. McCoy. But it was but several hours
before the fight when I discovered the
mistake, and then it was too late for a j
i public announcement.
I "The Al. McCoy who appeared here
| had already defeated the original sev- ]
oral times, so I believed, and still be- j
lieve, that he made as good an oppo- ,
nent for Houck as would have the orig- j
inal. Flynn's letter blackguarding me
is typical of the man. Charles Doess- ;
rick! of the Pioneer Boxing Club, New j
| York City, brought Al. McCoy here, and
he explained everything. t
The entire affair is unfortunate. The j
fight was as good as though Houck had
boxed the original. The fans who saw
it will bear me out in this statement, j
Betters, such as Flynn's, from out-of- ;
town managers who persistently seek to i
drain every cent they can get from the
small town club, and then kick them \
when their hack is turned, have long
been a source of contention, not only '
with me but with every other Lancas- i
ter fight promoter, whether they are in j
or out of the business now. I know the j"
fans will give me a square deal.
"FRANK ERNE." !

Local Tennis Players
Will Meet Tonight to
Reorganize the Sport
Harrisburg tennis players eon
template getting in the great
campaign for reviving this sport,
and tiie meeting to-night should
be significant. It is set for S p. m.
in the Calder Building, offices of
the Park Departme'nt. This prom
ises to be the greatest tennis year
in the country's history and there
is no reason why Harrisburg
should not eo-operate extensive
ly. for the game is popular among
both sexes. The present officers
of the local association are: Pres
ident, J. Douglas M. Royal; vice
president, Glenwood Beard; sec
retary. Miss Anne Sweeney; treas
urer. Miss Mary Herbert.
Tonight's meeting will be de
voted to election of officers and
making plans for the season, cne
of which includes holding the an
nual Greater Harrisburg Tennis
Tournament again this year, and
advance indications point to one
of the largest entry lists In the
history of this annual local ten
nis classic. Last season the events
were reluctantly called off when
it was found impossible to stage
anything like the former success
ful affairs, due to lack of enough
prospective entries and absence on
war service of most of the star
racket wielders who have figured
in other tourneys.
Matches with fast teams ficm
other towns will be arranged, ac
cording to tiie plans now being
considered and special committees
will be appointed to look after
this end of the sport and see that
lovers of the game in this city
get an opportunity to see well
known tennis stars in action here.
A membership campaign will
also likely be inaugurated, al
though details of these plans will
not bo fully shaped until the ap
pointment of committees to su
pervise these lines of activity.
This will take place as soon as
the president for the coming jear
has been selected.
PENROSE FAVORS
THE TEACHERS
Speaks For I lie Proposed In
crease of Salaries
in Stale
Representatives of Philadelphia
school teachers who called upon
Senator Benrose proposed that from
$,000,000 to $7,000,000 be raised
for salary increases for the State's
teachers by levying a tax on man
ufacturers or a tax on coal sales.
Tho teachers went to Senator Pen
rose's otlico to thank him for the
support he is giving in the Legis
lature to the Woodruff bill to in
crease teachers' salaries.
"This is not a sentimental ques
tion. School teachers are not being
paid Lving wages in Pennsylvania.
They are the most underpaid of all
public servants," said the Senator.
"To increase their salaries is a
matter of procuring additional rev
enue. I have talked with Governor
Sproul regarding this matter. It has
bee i suggested, as one speaker has
s.iid, that a small tax be placed on
manufacturers. This is a new prop
osition. The manufacturers could
probably stand the strain, biit thus
tar ir. has been the custom to avoid
any tax upon manufacturers for the
purpose of encouraging State indus
tries. The coal tax is also a new
matter and must be carefully con
sidered."
Miss Margaret Noble, of the
Teachers Ciub, and Dr. J. Eugene
Raker, of tiie Philadelphia Teach
ers' Assrciat-cn, addressed the Sen -
ator. They expressed views that the
only thing now in the way of ob
taining the Increases was the rais
ing of the revenue needed. They
said they were counting on Penrose
to help lind a way of obtaining it.
Announcement that a Board of
Public Charities ripper is contem
plated caused a stir yesterday
among politicians in Philadelphia,
and it was declared that the plan
would not meet the approval of
Governor Sproul. Shortly after his
election the Governor paid a high
tribute to the Board of Public Char
ities and announced that during his
administration the recommendations
of the body would be closely follow
ed and that the organization would
be a mere potential factor than ever
before. Since then the board had
made I ecorcmendations for the va
rious institutions receiving State aid
and it is generally accepted that the
Governor will be guided by tho find
ings when the time comes to scan
the appropriation bills passed by tlv
General Aftc-mbly.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
AUentown Boxing Promoter Active
In This Week's Motive Power Show
Charles Ettinger, who turns out
more boxers per month than any
trainer in the country, will be a big
figure at the next Motive Power
show, which is set for Thursday
evening, April 10, and the following
message from him direct tells some
thing of what may be expected by
the iabroad ring patrons:
"Three of the four boys I am
bringing to Harrisburg on Thursday
evening to appear at the Motive
Power boxing show are known to the
patrons of boxing in your city and
have not yet failed to give a good
account of themselves there. The
fourth boy, Hughey Dugan, of Beth
lehem, has never showed up there,
but I can assure you that he is a
fighter who never fails to please, a
boy who keeps going from bell to
bell, is clever and a puncher.
"I have brought considerable box
ing talent to Harrisburg in the past
and in this time have disappointed
but once, that was at the last show
when Bobby "Williams did not ap
pear. The reason was that one week
previous to that show he boxed in
Reading and suffered a cut on his
cheek which required several stitch
es. He wanted to box in Harrisburg,
but when I examined the wound the
day before the bout J saw how fool
ish it would be for him to attempt
to box. It had not healed up well
•enough. Williams will positively ap
Would Pay AH
Soldiers For Service
Inspired by the bill introduced into
the legislature by Representative
Robert B. MacCallum. of Luzerne, to
give each Pennsylvania soldier, sailor
and marine, a 150 Victory liond, Mrs.
W. H. Newmyer, of Rellevue, Alle
gheny county, state secretary of the
Mothers of Democracy, has suggested
to this legislator that ho amend the
measure to provide that the state pay
each Pennsylvanian who enlisted for
the war, a specific sum for each
month of service. Mrs. Newmyer be
lieves this would be a more equitable
distribution of state money, as she
takes the, position ttiat the man who
served longest should receive the
most recognition.
Mrs. Newmyer has addressed a let
ter to Representative MacCallum sug
gesting changes in his bill to meet
with her proposition. As the MacCal
lum measure would cost the state
$18,000,000 and ills. Newmyer's plan
would probably cost equally as much,
nether will be given serious consid
eration by the legislature. The state
revenues will not stand the strain un
less new sources of taxation could be
found and the legislature does not
look with favor upon any plan that
would add further burdens upon the
industry of the state.
Says Clark and Kitchin
Must Go to Save Party
Washington, D. C., April 7.—lf the
Democratic party is to avoid another
defeat at the hands of the Republi
cans in 1920, according to Represen
tatvic Ayers, of Kansas, it must get
rid of such leaders as Speakers Clark.
Floor Leader Kitchin and others not
in sympathy with the administration.
The war on the Democratic leaders
is being waged by the Democratic
Reorganization Committee, which is
making strenuous efforts to start a
backfire of sentiment among Demo
crats of the country for a change.
The old leaders deny there is any
following of consequence to the re
organization movement, and predict
that Speaker Clark will be next tioor
leader in the House. Representative
Ayers declared to-day that, instead
of meeting Republican attacks last
session, the Democratic leaders sat
back, seemingly to say, "Hit us
again."
Clever Shoplifter
Caught at Progress
A clever shoplifter tYho has been

gives the name of William Spensler,

FORD'S TEAM CHAMPIONS
The prediction by Manager. Gor
don Ford that Saturday night would
see the closest, hardest battle of the
season was surely materialized with
the Independents' victory over St.
Columba live, of Philadelphia, who
beut the Held in the Philadelphia
American League. The score was
41-27, very decisive, and it is not
likely' the Tech claim will be dis
puted.
The result might have been differ
ent had St. t'olumba's stellar per
fotmer. Jack Lawrence, been in the
line-up, though Moorhead made a
very able substitute. However, Hoss
Haggerty held him scoreless. Brown,
of the visitors, made real basketball
history, a record which will never
be forgotten here. He was way back
on his Held when he shot the
pellet all the way to its nest, making
a perfect toss.
The second half saw the Indepen
dents get in their best licks. Two
pear against Nate Isaactnan on!
Thursday night as he will not box j
anywhere before that date. Young
Fulton is training faithfully for the j
bout with Hick Gotwalt and hopes j
to win decisively from the little
York slugger.
"Harrisburg fans have already
seen Eddie Dundee defeat Larry
Hansen and Joe Phillips there this j
season. Many critics believe Dundee 1
is going to be a champion. When lie 1
agreed to meet Tommy Carey Thurs- j
day night he showed that he had the)
confidence in himself, for Carey has j
bcxed two champions, Benny Leon
ard and Jack Britton, and score* of I
near champions. Dundee has seen (
him box and knows what a rip-tear
ing fighter he is. You can be sure
that Eddie will be in great shapei
Thursday night and if we don't add |
Catey to our list of wins it won't be |
our fault."
It is believed that this week's
show at the Motive Power will be
something of a surprise, little pub
licity has been given, but the con
testants are all capable of giving a
real exhibition of the manly art.
Young Carey, as Ettinger indicates,
is some battler, among his victims
was Joe Phillips, who hard man
to beat. Carey is no tenderfoot, but
has had long experience, so Dundee
will walk up a step toward cham
pionship if he wins from this lad on
Thursday.
