HARD-HITTING BOXERS AT ORPHEUM TONIGHT;
Joe Barrett's Boxing Bouts on
April 23 to Go Ten Rounds
Joe Barrett, Steelton's boxing pro
moter, is rapidly getting his show
•together for Wednesday night, April
23, and the veteran says it will sure
ly be worth twice the price charged.
It will be the first ten-round bout
held in this section for several years.
Two ten and two six-round bouts will
complete the bill, the top liner be
ing between Sammy Schiff, Harris
burg's best lightweight pitted against
his bitterest and cleverest rival for
Central Pennsylvania lightweight
honors. Any one who say the two
six-round whirlwind bouts between
these two battlers will appreciate
what thrills the longer route will
furnish as the pace they set in their
shorter bouts is entirely too fast to
last the longer distance, and it is
not improbable that one or the other
will take the count before the end,
anyway, it is a surety that no veal
sport will lose the chance to be in at
the finish. There is the ten-round
bout between Nate Isaaonian, an
other local favorite, and Eddie Gra

GET INCREASE
Average Raise of sls a Month
Is Granted to 69,000
Employes
By Associated Press.
Washington, April 15.—Wage in

The Director General also raised
the wages of 12.000 sleeping and
parlor car employes $23 a month
above the basic minima in effect

$12.50 per month.
Wages of 10.000 dining car em
ployes were advanced $25 above the
basic monthly minima in effect Jan
uary 1. 1918. This will yield approxi

$25 increase was taken up in the
general wage advance last year.
These minor wage orders for rail
road employes which were included

"*** TUESDAY EVENING,
ney, of South Bethlehem, who gave
Nate the surprise of his life at the
last Motive Power show, when he
took Babby Williams' place on a few
hours' notice, and made the local
boy strain every nerve to get a draw.
Isaacman said to-day he expected to
be in shape to make a good light.
Barrett's stable of fighters will ar
rive with the 28th Division, among
them being the crack welterweight,
Johnny Gill. Young Siler, the light
weight, and Steve Conlon, the fly
weight bear cat. Joe is looking for
a suitable place to start an up-to
date gymnasium, somewhere near
the water front, and the other two
matches on the coming card will
carefully be selected, as the veteran
says he is going to start an elimina*
tion series of bouts between the lo
cal lads, with the intention of having
the winners in each bout as they go
along, join his stable. In this way
Barrett says there is nothing to pre
vent him from developing some real
battlers in this city and Steelton.
"Oh, Mamma, Make the
Mean Old Umpire
Treat Us Fairly!"
William F. Knebelkamp. the
new president of the Louisville
club, has issued orders prohibit
ing the use of all naughty words
by his ballplayers. Henceforth
when ane of the Colonels feels
himself aggrieved by a decision
of the umpire, he will not be per
mitted to relieve his pent-up
emotion by giving vent to a few
well-chosen cuss words. All he
may say is, "Oh. oh," in a low,
agonized tone of voice. Not even
such mild and comparatively in
nocuous expletives as "heck/'
"dern," "blame," "bonehead,"
"confounded," or the like will
be allowed. In order to render
the proceedings utterly ladylike
and refined at a baseball game,
it has also been suggested that
the fans be required to manifest
their approval only by giving
the Chautauqua salute. But let
Mr. Knebelkamp speak for him
self. which he does through the
Baseball Magazine (New York)
as follows:
"I know there's never been a
sweat-less baseball organization
playing professionally, but that's
no sign there can't be. Profanity
is used entirely too freely on the
ballfield. Often ugly remarks, re
leased during the heat of a bat
tle are wafted to the stands,
bringing discomfort and em
barrassment to the feminine fans.
No one would be more embar
rassed than I were this to hap
pen in my ball park. Ball games
can be won without resorting to
the unrestricted use of impreca
tions. In fat-t, I firmly believe
that many contests are lost be
cause the players, hurling epi
thets back and forth at each
other, or engaging in heated dis
cussions with the umpires, per
mit themselves to become so
wrought up that their effective
ness in the field and at the bat
is seriously impaired. When a
player is raving mad he is never
so sure to hit the ball or to
cleanly field a play. Swearing
incites such a frenzy. Therefore,
since swearing isn't conducive
to mental equanimity, why
should ballplayers yield to the
temptation?"
Mr. Knebelkamp is dead in
earnest about putting the ban on
profanity. He will do his utmost
to prevent his players from
swearing at one another, at the
opposition, or at the umpires,
and under no circumstances will
he sanction any verbal abuse of
the players by the manager.
Removing the swearwords
from baseball isn't the only re
form Mr. Knebelkamp hopes to
accomplish. He wants to elimi
nate the taint of commercialism
from the game and also, to make
the world safer for umpires.

SIBERIA HOME !
OF MANY TRIBES
Descendants of Mongolian In
vaders of the Thirteenth
Century
j Correspondence of The Associated Press i
j Omsk, Siberia, Feb. 12.—Siberia,
i which has forced the world atten- i
j tion, by reason of the important
, political events there, includes all the j
! Asiatic possessions of Russia with
j the exception of the trans-Caspian
j and trans-Caucasian regions and the j
I government general of Turkestan j
| whose capital, Tashkent, was cap- j
' tured by the Bolsheviki and whose j
I American vice-consul. Roger C. j
j Tredwell. was arrested and left to 1
' languish in prison.
Since (the Mongolian invasion in!
i the thirteenth century), Siberia ha 3 j
been the home of many tribes, de-1
scended from that race. To the for-1
! eigner the Tartars are perhaps the
most interesting. Their great center
;is Kazan though the national Tartar j
. council, which like Ukraine and j
! other regions of Russia, seeks the
'developments of its "national aspira.j
! tions." is now located at Petropav
] lovsk, not far from Omsk. This is on,
! account of Bolsheviki terrorism. I
Many Tartars
The Tartars are true followers of,
Mahomet and their mosques are I
found in almost every city. They I
are estimated to number 1.fi00.000 in j
I the districts of Kazan and Crimea.:
'Tliev are keen seekers after educa-j
! tion'and many Tartar boys and girls I
i receive lessons in French. English ,
and German from foreign instructors
|in places like Kazan, Samara and
I Ufa. The last two of these places,
• were occupied several months ago
Iby the Bolsheviki arrhies. The Tar
tars have an oval face, black eyes, j
I placed obliquely, and their skin is)
. brown. Their costume is unusual, the j
distinguishing feature being their)
coiffure over which is worn a tight- j
fitting calotte, or skull cap.
A considerable number of Tartars,
| live in the Altai mountains on the |
! frontier of China. They are still)
| nomads and given over to idolatry.;
Many of them worship the sun.
1 The people of the Mongolian race,
! inhabiting Rusia. either European (
|or Siberian, should be generally di
vided into groups. The Finnish group)
| includes Finns, Esthonians, Mordva j
jand Cheremises. The Tartar group is j
I composed of Tartars, _and smaller)
| tribal peoples.
The Kirglils Tribe
| An important nomadic Mongolian
| tribe is the Kirghis who live in the
steppe regions of Akmolinsk and
I Semipalatinsk. They aggregate more
than a million of both sexes, speak
| a Turkish dialect and are devout
j Mussulmans. They are chiefly cattle
i raisers.
> The Takouts inhabit the region of
| Irkutsk, near Lake Baikal, and speak
! a language principally Turkish but
partly Mongolian. They are idola
! trous and live by the hunt and by the
| raising of cattle.
In the province of Tobolsk, and
! generally in the north, even up to
| the Arctic ocean, are found the Vo-
I guls and the Ostiacks. They descefid
! from ancient Finnish . branch. Al
| though in principle converted to
| Christianity, they have no real idea
of the Christian religion and, as in
! ancient times, practice Chamanism,
) the religion of their ancestors. Still
I other tribes are the Teleouts on the
plateaus of the Altais, the Buriats in
[the trans-Baikal district, the Man
chue in the Amur, and the Samoyedes
!on the Arctic borders where they
! engage in the raising of reindeer,
j In the large cities like Harbin,
] Irkutsk and Omsk, Americans are
I struck by the large number of Bu
| riats and Tartars who are drivers of
j public droskies. They seem to speak
| the Russian language indifferently
j and apparently hardly know the
j the street sand different quarters of
j the city. They are distinctly Mongo-
I lian in type and have flat noses.
! The present population of" Siberia
I is estimated at ten million, as against
; a total Russian population of per
| haps 180,000.000. Despite the numer
i ous races and tribes mentioned above
I the population of Siberia is mainly
i Russian, formed of peasants who
j migrated from European Russia
: when Siberia was reconquered and to
j some extent of the descendants of
j the unhappy people who were exiled
to the frigid zone for political con
spiracies and crimes.

) attempt to win for America the
' honor of* being first to make a
, trans-Atlantic flight, it was stated

to make the flight "a safe ahd sane"
one. It is not likely that a start will
be made until early in May.
Golf Demon Makes an
Unheard-of Record
at Whitemarsh Links
Traveling steadily from 6.10 a.
m.. to 7.45 p. m., Frederick W.
Knight completed eight rounds at
the Whitemarsh links yesterday,
playing a total of 144 holes. With
the well known methodical deter
mination, natural to a Quaker
citizen, this golf ghoul started out
to make seven rounds with an
average of 85 and he only missed
by an eyelash. He had been urged
to the effort by a wager. It Is
estimated Knight walked 35 miles
during the day: taking 689 strokes
for an average of 86V£. Some rec
ord.
The last round was also the
longest as to time, it taking an
hour and forty minutes. His short
est round was the fourth, he com
pleting the eighteen holes in one
hour and twenty minutes and
having a card of 83.
Knight did not stop for rest or
luncheon, but drank two egg and
milk drinks during the morning
and one during the afternoon. His
complete stroke record was as
follows.

Telegraph Typos in
First Try-Out Game
The Telegraph typos invaded the
Island diamond yesterday with the
object of determining the makeup of
one representative team which will be
on the job all season. Two nines,
night and day forces, tussled for nine
sessions, the former winning, 17-9,
with Shoal* umpiring.
Young George Wymer, "Chubb"
Kelly and DeWitt Vohlfarth pitched
for the day side with considerable
skill, but not enough to keep the ball
from the night side sluggers. Wymer
lasted one inning. Kelly six and
Wohlfarth two, finishing the game.
Uchtman and Dougherty made up the
battery for the winners. The fielding
and base-running of both clubs was
up to the standard of first-of-the-sea
sou gomes. There were no thrills, the
official scorer reported after the game,
but a lot of young men were late for
supper.
There was plenty of clouting, the
pitchers not being warmed up prop
erly. Clouser caught a good game,
and he will probably be the final se
lection for the Telegraph club. Ucht
man looks like an able dinger when
he has more practice. The fatalities
were:

Orpheum Fights Tonight
Minus Nate Isaacman, the Or
pheum boxing show will swing open
to-night at 8.30 with Frankie Mc-
Guire and Mike Uraine in the star
set-to. Isaacman sent Frank Erne
a telegram this morning that a frac
tured nose would prevent him from
appearing against Young O'Leary,
of Philadelphia, and at the last mo
ment Erne hooked Young Mahoney
as a substitute. This lad made a
hit at the last show when pitted
against Isaacman, and promises to
be a feature to-night.
Erne was confident to-day that
the Jack Wolpert-Chick Hayes en
counter would be thrilling, Wolpert
being by far the best 110-pound lad
turned out from Lancaster. Re
calling that he knocked out the
doughty, goose-fighting Dick Conlin
of Altoona, proves that he is there
with everything. Hayes recently dis
tinguished himself in a six-round
idraw with Battling Murray at Phila
delphia. Frankie McGulre fought
here the last Orpheum show and had
little chance to show his ability for
he knocked Jack Andrews cold with
his first blow. Mike Uraine is a po
licemun at Washington, D. l\. and
I a very tough customer, who will put
, tsp no fiasco like Andrews. The
fight starts at 8.30 sharp with gen
eral admission 50 cents; reserved
seats 75 to $2.00.
