timore boy of Gannon's speed. Ma
honey, as usual, said: "Well, If it
is coming to me I wtll surely have
to take it; any way put me on with
him, that's all."
The opening bout is between
Ralph Leedy and Billy Morton, two
local youngsters who have little love
for each other since they fought
such a gruelling bout two weeks ago
in Steelton.
Instead of having the stage in the
center of the hall, as has been the
custom in the past bouts at the
auditorium, Barrett says he will put
his ring on the original stage, close
to the footlights where* everyone
can see from any part of the house,
and also enable him to place 150
ringside seats on the stage. These
with the other reserved seats will be
on sale at Shenk & Tittle's sporting
goods store in Market street, in this
city, and also at Falrlamb's cigar
store, in Steelton.
Exploring Cannibal Isles
Is This Woman's Hobby
MRS.~UAR.7I N 'johwson
Mrs. Martin Johnson says she Just
can't be civilized all the time so she
has started off on another exploring
expedition with her husband. She ex
plains that when he married her he
thought he had had enough of wan
dering in strange and dangerous
places, but the only fever came back.
Against his protests she accompanied
him on a trip to islands in the South
Seas inhabitated by cannibals, where
no white person had ever been be
fore. Although she is a dainty little
woman, who looks as though she
were in her 'teens but insists she is
twenty-five, she survived the hard
ships as well as her husband and
now she is as confirmed a wanderer
as he is. They left San Francisco]
recently for another visit to the
jungles of unexplored islands.
Baseball Fan Says
Galahad Is Unfair
to St. Mary's Club
Sporting Editor, Dear Sir:
Just a few words in regards to the
baseball game between the St.
Mary's team of Steelton, and the
Galahad team. 1 noticed in the
morning paper that the St. Mary's
team protested this contest. Being
a true baseball fan I think it should
lbe the St. Mary's game without a
protest. Any true sporting man
could see that the game was taken
from the visitors and given to the
Galahad team, in the last inning.
It- was entirely too dark to play in
the sixth inning without making the
visitors play the seventh inning. In
the first place the league "officials
should be glad to secure the Steelton
team in the league on the visitors'
own expense. The brand of ball
they put up should keep them in first
place. I think Steelton's manager was
too proud to quit after the game was
cinched in the fifth inning as it was
dark then. The Galahad manage
ment should be satisfied to have the
game played over as any other team
wouldn't stand for it without get
ting the game on their card as a vic
tory. Hoping the league will live
up to its clean name, I remain a
jtrue fan for clean sports in Harris
burg.

TOUGH TEST FOR TECH
Captain Beck, with five other start
Technical High School track ath
letes, will attempt the most difficult!
feat ever tried by Maroon athletes j
when they will go to Princeton Uni- j
versity Saturday morning in an en-1
deavor to win the annual scholastic ;
meet held by Princeton in the uni-j
versity stadium.
Encouraged by their victory at]
Swarthmore, Tech hopes to land the I
biggest honors ever brought to this;
city. Pitted against the cream of
the school boys of the East, Tech j
will oppose Mercersburg, Exeter,'
Andover, Phillips-Exeter, Hill, Beth- ]
lehem Prep, Wenonah, Newark and \
the pick of the New York State;
schools. No better athletes are |
found in the East than represent]
these schools.
Rumor has It that Morccrsburg is |
smarting under the defeat handed 1
to Jimmy Curran's lads at Swarth-|
more last Saturday, and, as the >
Mercersburgers have four legs on a;
cup that must be won live times, j
they will send a twenty-flve-man,
team to the meet in a desperate ef- j
fort to bring the cup home perma- |
nently.
Of course. Captain Beck will be j
the big point-winner, yet "Zip"
Maiick is feared almost ag much.
And then, 100, Karl Hoffsommcr is
gradually working himself into a
, class of his own in the mile and
half-mile.
Big Wrestling Show With the
Best of Local Talent Next Week
The next wrestling show here
takes place at Chestnut Street Audi
torium one week from to-night and
it is to be marked for local talent.
It may be said for wrestling that
the husky professionals gave splen
did exhibitions and there is no com
plaint concerning them as is com
mon over boxing where the contest
ants often fail to respond, necessi
tating a substitute. This wrestling
event will stage the famous athelete,
Carl Beck, who has now done mo3t
everything in sports except bust the
clouds in a sky-cart, and "Red"
Miller, who holds an equally ex
alted position in Lebanon.
The premier bout should be even
more exciting, for Jack Ozar, who
was camouflaged for some months
as a State policeman, is now in the
arena again and has been slamming
the best of them. He bars no one,
ard be will give a hard battle to
"Pinkie" Gardner, who claims the
middleweight title. Ozar is in fine
shape, a little heavier than when he
downed Tom Drank, who had near
ly fifty pounds on him. Jack lays
claim, himself, to the national mid
dleweight title.
Twlxt Miller and Beck, there has
long been keen rivalry; each has his
adherents and the big hall will be
filled with rooters for Tech High's
"Soldiers' Night at the

Coach DeWire will enter Captain
Beck in the 100-yard dash, the high
and low hurdles, the broad jump
and tlio shot put. As the two lat
ter events will be pulled off in the
morning, it will give Beck a cliance
to get into good trim for the field
events. "Zip" Maiick will "put on
tho gas" in the 100, 220 and 440.
Hoffsommer will breast the tape in
the mile and half-mile events. Gar
rett will be entered in the' same
events witli "Zip."
"Ken" Boycr will try his skill in
the high jump, pole vault and 120
hurdles. The final man of tho sex
tet will be Tony Wilsbach. Ho will
throw the hammet and shot. When
it is considered that Tech will go
against the class of the East instead
of high schools as it should, and
then that there will be as many as
tw, ity-five athletes representing
somti of the institutions, whereas
Tech will enter but six, chances do
not look so promising. While odds
are against Tech, the student body
looks to the sturdy sons of Tech to
repeat the performance of last Sat
urday at Swarthmore. Four places
will count, with live, three, two and
one points being awarded. Gold,
silver and bronze medals of the
Princeton die will be given, as well
as the handsome trophy that Mer
cersburg hopes to get.

"Keep Baseball Clean" Says Kiester
at Opening of the Hill League
MAYOR K EISTER
Tossing out the llorsehide at Allison Hill
"I want to see clean baseball here;
there is too much baiting of tho
umpire, and I am also strongly
opposed to any foul language or
rough actions. The game must be
conducted in gentlemanly manner,
for it attracts many of the gentler
sex. I notice that the new owner
of the Louisville Club has set a fine
upon any player who curses, and
if the management finds it necessary
1 would be in favor of introducing
such an order here. The Allison Mill
League is a permanent institution in
Harrisburg and furnishes an ad
mirable outdoor sport. 1 would like
to see a good-sized grandstand
erected for the accommodation of
the big crowds who attend every
night and so much enjoy this sport.
I believe that action will be taken
by Hill baseball enthusiasts for this
purpose and I certainly will co
operate."

"I believe a dozen rounds will be
long enough, for we can do a lot of
fighting in that time. We should
have no difficulty in settling the ques
tion of supremacy in that time."
From Cincinnati came the infor
mation from Cornell Schreiber, mayor
of Toledo, that he would positively
grant a permit for the staging of the
Willard-Dempsey fight at Toledo
July 4. He said he saw no objection
to the boxing exhibition, as it would
be of a scientific nature and would
net from $25,000 to $30,000 for the
city's charities.
He said he favored the bout be
cause of its advertising value to
Toledo.
