SCHIFF WINS OVER OTTO O'KEEFE; RAILROAD BALL PLAYERS BEAT MERCERSBURG 5-3 "Sammy" Schiff Outpointed O'Keefe; Will Meet Hilbane One of the most exciting boxing Shows seen in this neighborhood latjJy was staged by Joe Barrett at Stwlton last night, when Sammy ti'chlff made good, getting the de cision on his ten-round bout with ■Otto O'Keefe. Schiff is now the man who should be matched here with Johnny Kllbane. Schiff looked better than any time he has afpeared in Harris burg, having taken on four or five pounds in hard training. O'Keefe was somewhat handicapped with four boils, a matter which would discourage anyone but a regular Xiugilist. The boils may have had •ome effect in his boxing, for he Whs net so fast or vicious as at mther ies. Schiff had something en Yi'irt in weight and it was Eamrly% responsibility to make the running. He took no chances and liis left lead landed often, but never with any great force. If Schiff could master a hard blow with this left and land it, he would be a very hard person to beat, but, as it Is, Kilbane will find him no easy mark. Billy Hinton, the York pro moter and veteran pugilist, refereed nil the bouts and his work was high class. He introduced as an amuse ment two little boys, Harry Buf- Jington and Delmar Buffngton, whose father was a fourth man in the ring. The kids are brothers, and they boxed four rounds, vastly to the amusement of spectators. JONES' Wil l.

The fiercest encounter of the evening was between Billy Morton ahd Ralph Leedy, both Harrisburg boys. No suc-h battling has been seen here this season. They fought like two lunatics, never resting; just slap, bang. Leedy had the reach, and, if someone taught him him to use his left, like a Corbett, he would succeed better. As it was, Morton, also using his left toward the end of the third round, ham mered Leedy to a pulp and knocked him cold in 2.4 0 of that round. Young Mahoney. of Baltimore, was a favorite the moment ho stepped into the ring. The referee announced his weight at 126 and that of Ed. Loechner. of ter, as 130 pounds. This was not the fact, for the latter stripped at 140; but Loechner, a substitute, took the place of Graney at the very last moment and, instead of being hissed, he should have been ap plauded for responding so that the program was not busted. Young Mahoney got the decision on this ten-round bout; he went through with ease and precision, for he is accustomed to that route. This lad is a fine boxer, better than Ix>ech ner; but does not have the hard blow of the Lancaster man. Billy Hinton announced a show at York, in the Central A. C., April 25, the main bout being 'twlxt Del Furlow and Johnny McGill. Commonwealth Travelers Lose to the Berk A. A. The Berk A.

The game ended with a score two to two. At the end of the ninth inning the game was called on ac count of darkness. These two teams will play another game on May 17 on the I.emoyne field.

The Technical High school's relay team that will compete In Class 1 at the Penn relays, Saturday, is fortu nate in getting the pole position. This advantage has won the race in many a close contest, and with Hoffsommer setting the .lump on his opponents, it may mean that Tech will be able to land another victory in the fastest class among the high schools on Franlclin Field. Few high schools in the Fast have been able to bring home the banners that have fallen to the fortune of the Maroon and Gray. It is expected that Hoffsommer, who won the mile and half-mile events at Mercersburg, will start the race for Tech. Either Garrett or Foland will take the baton from Hoffsommer, and the third runner is likely to be Carl Peck. Punning as anchor man will be "Zip" Malick. the fastest man in the quartet. Because of the great records that have been made by- Tech teams in the past half dozen years, the local flyers have been moved a notch higher each year until they are now started in the fastest class. If Tech does not win the ban ner, the local students need not feel disappointed because of the fact that Tech will be pitted against the pick of the country. Coach DeAVire will accompany the squad to Philadelphia, ar.d the getaway will likely be made Friday night. Cnrson I.ong Coming Manager "Birdie" Hinkle received a wire yesterday from Carson Dong In stitute saying that the Perry county aggregation will be down on the Island for the opening Tech game to be played in this city.

After having eaten up, figuratively speaking, all the basketball teams in this part of the country, the Tech basketball squad will eat a banquet given by the Tech Athletic Associa tion, at the home of Captain "Buddy" Ltnglc to-night, beginning at 6:30. And the piece do resistance will be young roasted Virginia turkey.

Those who will put away the "eats" this evening are: Captain Dingle, "Kb" Ebner, "Johnny" Beck, "Haps" Frank, "Tony" Wilsbach, "Bill" Fortna, "Hggie" Beck, "Johnny" Smith, "Vic" Bihl and "Hennio" Kohl rnan. Several surprises are in store for the tossers of the sphere, but just what these are would not be di vulged bv Monsieur Grubb. One of the features will be the awarding of the "T." Some of these athletes have received the "T" so often that they will soon rival the famous Tetley "T." Gold basketball fobs have also been promised the, squad for winning the championship, but these have not as yet arrived, so it is said. R.H.E.

As proof of the statement, 1 submit the following: Bangc, Geiselman, Garrett, Plow man, Haas, Shutt and Wise arc sen iors. They were regularly entered in the High school in September, 1915. Since that time not one of them lias failed to be promoted nor had an attendance record below ninety per cent. Loss and Colcstock entered in September, 1918, and have not missed ten days' school since. Not one of these boys ever played a game or an inning in the Blue Hidgo League. Not one of them ever played on a salary or did anything that would disqualify one as a strict amateur in athletics (Seal) Talmage Nichols, Coach. Sworn and subscribed to before this 22d day of April, 1919, I. R. Witmer, Justice of the Peace. Nichols says: "I have made the foregoing statement in affidavit and challenge anyone to prove a word of it false. "It is not so easy to disprove the other statements: but it is fair to presume that a person who will mis represent the facts in one case would do so in another. At no time Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart \ The Importance of Wearing HAND-TAILORED Young Men's-- waist-line suits <R9ft >/ 'Ol' double-breasted suits p^v/ T/o^pOO three-button sacks If semi-form-fitting suits TO the average man, most good clothes look very much alike. But there's a big difference under the general style lines. There are good fabrics and again there are the finest fabrics—woolens that have been spun and woven from the richest long fibred wool available. Long fibres mean long wear, style permanency —that rich, lustrous look— and so nothing but these finest woolens are used in these hand-tailored garments. Modern machinery makes speed in clothes making possible, but machin ery can't put character into cloth cutting and seam stitching. It's all right to cut fivq or six suits at a time witli an electric knife and to run the seams at a mile a minute when you're making just clothes, but these hand tail ored suits are cut by hand with a pair of shears and stitched by hand with needle and thread. If you must make your appearance count; if you've a justified pride in being known as a well dressed man amoiig men, then this is a very personal message to you indeed. Finally: There will be no limit as to your choice of style, pattern or color in these splendid stocks of new hand-tailored suits. We've anticipated every de mand. Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart, Second Floor, Hear. was there a threat of violence, at no time was the playing field invaded. To be perfectly candid, what was there to be gained by a riot when the score was in our favor and run ning higher every time some Tech star spilled the beans? "As to the one questionable de cision by the umpire I submit the following as a fair statement of the fact: "Second and third bases were oc cupied by Hanover players and no one out. The batter bunted the ball down the third base line. We have a turf diamond with peeled sprint ing path. The ball was zigzagging in the path and the third baseman at tempted to make a play of it. He failed to handle the ball; but, never theless, touched it with his hand. He then wished the umpire to take his word as to where he first touch ed the ball and call it a foul. Is it not usual for the third baseman to let the ball stop rolling or else, when sure it is a foul, to place his hand on it and hold it to the place until the umpire comes near enough to give a decision? Can he expect to play the ball and then in case of failure raise a howl and have ev erything restored to the status quo ante?"
