DR. ROLLER PUTS CLEAN SPORT BACK ON MAP HERE; STUNTS FOR HILL LEAGUE TONIGHT
Clean Sport Back on
Map By Dr. Roller
j Dr. B. F. Roller, an eminent, phy-
Ifcician of New York, stepped lively
linto Harrisburg last evening and
■tallttle less than one hour put ath
back on the map here, clean,
Ifhrilling and permanently. The
■magnificent exhibition of strength
and skill given by Dr. Roller and
Tommy Draak, Belgian-Netherlands
champion, made the big hall, which
was well filled, forget all about un
pleasant boxing fiascos and turned
attention to the Salvation Army
benefit on Saturday night next, where
Draak may appear again, hooked up
with Jack Ozar, furnishing a spec
tacular match, if there ever was one.
The match last evening was at
catch-as-catch-can style and went
the full three fails. The two grap
plers fought gamely through thirty
mine minutes on headlock and toei
hold until Roller gained the first
fall of the evening with a body and
arm lock. Draak, just previous to
his downfall, had the powerful doc
tor in an extremely precarious posi
tion when Roller suddenly twisted
loose, leaped hard on Draak's chest,
winded him and pinned his shoulders
tight against the canvas. A great
roar which rocked the hall went
up as the popular New York sur
geon gained the initial fall for Rol
ler is immensely popular here.
Dr. Roller has permanently
brought himself into favor with the
substantial sporting element of Har
risburg. As he entered the hall last
evening Ross A. Hickok, famous ath
lete of earlier days, gripped the great
wrestler and complimented him on
his wonderful condition at the age
of 43. "I am two years your sen
ior," remarked Hickok; 1 remem
ber you well, and I must say you
are a wonderful specimen of man
hood. Personally, I have not kept
up active exercise, but—well look
me over."
Dr. Roller pinched Mr. Hickok's
muscles and ventured to suggest:
"You ought to be wrestling, sir, and
show the athletes of to-day what
they should be doing. "Another
prominent Harrisburger who greeted
the wrestler-physician was Dr. Har
ry Douglass, well-known physician
here who was trained by Roller at
the University of Pennsylvania.
Tom Draak. the rugged man whit
tussled with Roller last night, and
announced that Roller had gained
in exactly one minute.

HOME QUIETLY
Two Hundred Men of City and
Vicinity Arrive With
out Welcome
Discharged yesterday, 200 Keystone
Division men of Harrishurg and vicin
ty, largely from the 103 d Supply Train.
!03d Ammunition Train and the 103 d
Sanitary Train, quietly returnee" home
last evening on the 5.58 westbound
irain on the Philadelphia division of
he Pennsylvania Railroad.
There was little unusual about the
irrival of the men. The train steamed
nto the station with no especial ring
ing of the bells nor blowing of the
whistle, and the crowd that thronged
the station was much the same as the
irdinary one. Only a comparatively
'mall number of relatives were on hand
to greet the men.
Plans of the War Department to mus
ter out the Keystone Division men ac
cording to geographical localities and
gone awry, the time of the departure
jt tie men made uncertain, and so with
out definite information as to the time
of the arrival of the men, officials here
could make no arrangements for their
reception.
Practically all of yesterday was
taken up with paying off the men and
they continued to arrive in the city
on most of the westbound trains ar
riving during the night. The men all
declared themselves to be glad that
they could be home, and declared they
felt not the least bit slighted because
no reception had been held for them.
Carlisle had a large number of her
Bona included in the returning men.
and she sent a large representation here
to greet them and to take them home.

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
the final fall with a full body lock
it may be mentioned here, that quite
a number of the fair sex saw this
typical rugged American exhibition
of strength and skill, was given an
ovation only second to the other.
He aims to be here on Saurday night
and wrestle for the Salvation Army
show.
Draak, surprised and dazed to
find himself beaten just when vic
tory seemed within his grasp, also
wanted to have something to say.
Rising, he told the crowd:
"I acknowledge my defeat, and by
a good man. 1 have no excuse to
otter except that I am surprised,
for I believed I would win to-night.
All I ask is that I may have another
chance at Dr. Roller."
The match was made imme
diately for June 3, here in Harris
burg. Dr. Roller gave the most ex
traordinary illustration of what it
means to keep fit. He tackled the
younger man for a second bout af
ter only ten minutes' rest. In exact
ly eleven minutes Draak downed
Roller with a full body scissors and
arm lock. It then appeared as
though the youth and strength of
Draak were more than equal to the
age, experience and cleverness of
Roller for the doctor appeared to
be wearing away under the strain.
Many predicted that it would not
take Draak ten minutes more to gain
the third and deciding fall, but such
was not to be the case. The two
wrestlers tore at each other for the
third fall like enormous agile tigers,
Draak gained a terrible grip on thf>
doctor's head, but the supple physi
cian turned on his back with Draak's
head directly beneath him and drop
ped. The Belgian wrestler's shoul
ders smacked the floor and his head
was nearly crushed by the fall. He
lay stunned and Referee Baumann
wresling gave Max Baumann, the
finest credentials possible, "When
this young man advertises a wrest
ling match in Harrisburg," he as
sured, "you man be sure it will be
on the level. I have known him
since he was knee-high, and he has
never disappointed."
In the preliminary match last
night "Ed" Fair gained one fall)
over Julius Kamsky before, time was
up., Both lads are Tech athletes and
show promise of becoming good
local grapplers. Fair won with am
arm lock and body scissors.
The impromptu reception for the men
of the Cumberland county town was ar
ranged by R. K. Shearer, president of
the Fathers' and Mothers' Reception
committee. Twenty-eight automobiles
were sent here to carry home the men
! of the borough and surrounding towns
I with their relatives.

j were all enlisted men. officers of the

DRIVE TO WAKE UP ALL
TRAPSHOOTING UNITS
The Harrisburg Sportsmen's As
sociation is right in line, holding its
weekly contests, with a nation-wide
campaign, under the management
of that indefatigable promoter, Peter
P. Carney, of the National Sports
Syndicate, who announced his plan
as follows:
A systematic reorganization of the
sport of trapshooting will be ac
complished by a careful survey of
the units that go to make up the
national organization first, the
State associations; second, the
leagues and clubs, and, third, the
individual shooters.
There are 46 associations in the
United States and one in the Eastern
section of Canada. Some of these
associations are always active; quite
a number are active once a year and
several are dead. A great majority
if not all of the inactive associations
can be made active by a little inten
sive effort, and the chances are that
the dead association can be revived
also.
The American Trapshooting Asso
ciation has enlisted the assistance ot
the professional shooters in waking
up the State organizations. Under
the new plans a State association
will be more than an organization
which will conduct the State cham
pionship trapshooting tournament
and O K the tournament applica
tions from the gun clubs. These
things are essential, but a State as
sociation can do and should do
much more.
Send Delegate to National Body
This year each State association
has the privilege of sending a dele-

Amateur Tennis Experts
Are Barred if They Earn
Money Playing the Game
The utilizing of amateur ten
nis skill in making a living has
come under the iron mit of the
United States National Dawn
Tennis Association which issues
a warning to all clubs in this
membership. The announcement
starts with identifying exactly
what an amateur is, namely", one
who plays solely for the pleas
ure and physical benefits; for
pastime only." Here are the dis
barments:
By entering a competition open
only to professionals, or playing
for a money prize or gate re
ceipts.
By playing, instructing, pursu
ing or assisting in the pursuit of
tennis or other athletic exercise
| as a means of livelihood or for
gain or any emolument.
| By obtaining •or retaining
1 membership in any tennis or ath
letic club of any kind because
of any mutual understanding,
express or implied, whereby such
membership would be of any pe
i cuniary benefit to the member
I of the club.
By permitting or sanctioning
! the use of his name to advertise
j or promote the sale of tennis
| goods for pecuniary profit or by
permitting his name to be ad
vertised or published as the au
thor of articles on tennis of
which he is not actually the au
thor.
By selling, pledging or other
wise converting into money any
prize won in a tennis tourna
ment, or converting any prize so
won into any article or articles
commonly known as necessities,
such as food, ordinary clothing,
etc., or accepting as a prize any
such article.
By playing in a team or exhi-
I bition match where gate receipts
are charged, unless permission to
hold such match shall have been
previously obtained from the Ex
ecutive Committee, or sub-com
mittee appointed by the Execu
tive Committee, or from the sec
tional delegate of the section in
| which suclj match is to be played.
I By being connected with the
sale of tenpis goods or with a
firm manufacturing or selling
tennis goods, except when such
connection shall be of a general
nature in a firm manufacturing
or selling general athletic goods,
and the person so connected has
to do with tennis goods to no
greater extent than with any
other line of goods.
By being guilty of grossly un
sportsmanlike conduct.
BXJtEUSBURG TELEGKXPti
Bate to the annual meetins of the
American Trap Shooting Association
which will be held in New York in
November. These delegates will
have a voice and vote in the affairs
of the sport directly concerning
them. Theferore, they should rep
resent the trapshooters of their re
spective states, and in order that
these delegates represent all the
shooters, it is necessary for every
club to becomd affiliated with its
State association. In union there Is
strength.
It is perfectly obvious that there
is no incentive for a club joining an
association that is not active—or,
plainly speaking, only half alive.
Consequently, the first step in the
reorganization of the sport will be
to establish on an active basis each
one of the State associations. When
the State associations are active then
the campaign for activity will be
started on the clubs.
This looks as if the association
was starting at the top and working
down, but that is the plan. It seems
more logical that if the clubs were
made active that it would be easier
to get an active State organization.
Right along these lines we might
add that in the first three months of
this year 88 new gun clubs saw the
light of day and 54 gun clpbs that
were inactive during the war again
showed signs of life.
Nearly 2000 trapshootlng clubs
went out of business while America
was engaged in the world conflict,
but all of these clubs will come
back—many of them stronger than
ever before because of the addition
al interest in shooting.
Dauphin-Perry League
Stirred by Stories of
Decision on Four Clubs
Officials of teams in the Dauphin-
Perry League are somewhat dis
turbed to-day over the circulation
of stories to the effect that officials
of the Newport team were entirely
responsible for the movement wl)ich
resulted in the decision of league
representatives to continue with but
four teams, leaving Miffiintown with
out representation, following the
withdrawal of Reedsville several
j weeks ago.
Statements have been issued call
ing attention to the fact that the
I resolution providing for the con-
I tinuance of the league with but
Marysville, Millersburg, Duncannon
j and Newport represented, was adopt
ied by an unanimous vote. It is
I further pointed out that representa-
I fives of towns other than Newport,
first introduced the subject of a
I four-club league and took an active
j part in the discussion.
One club, other than Newport, is
known to have gone on record pre
vious to the league meeting in favor
of a four-club league, even before
; Reedsville withdrew. Its delegates
i were instructed to favor such a
| league if any such question arose
iat a league meeting. The officials
I of this club explain that it was prac
itlcally unorganized at the time <Je
: cision was made to admit Reedsville
I and Miffiintown and in other towns
| similar statements have been made
i by officials.
[ As an, aftermath to the contro-
Iversy at the league meeting between
I Miffiintown men as to which was the
league representative, and which was
| advanced as one of the reasons for
jthe decision to refuse Miffiintown a
j berth, officials of that club have
I issued announcements that J. Wertz
j had been appointed to represent the
organization at the meeting. He
voted in favor of the rule permitting
the use of five non-resident players,
while ,T. Kellev MoNeal, who also
claimed to he the legal representa
tive, favored the use of but three
non-residents.
