"WILL NEVER WRESTLE AGAIN"-ROLLER; MOTIVE POWER SLAMS ENGINEERS & FIREMEN McLinn Pitches Swatara to Victory Over East End; Peerless in League LEACCE STANDING W. L. Pet. Swataxa 10 < East End 8 6 .5G Algonquins 3 2 .*'s Peerless 1 7 .1.5 Swatara team increased its lead last evening by defeating the East End Juniors in a one-sided fray, Mc- Linn twirled a splendid game only allowing one hit and his stick work also helped greatly when h had three wallops out of three times up. "Swatara pounded the ball to all cor ners of the field in the first four in nings. but Kamatz checked the scor ing in the last frame when Swatara was dismissed in order. After the first inning the East End Juniors were unable to do anything with Mc- Linn's twirling and not a man reach ed first base. The Peerless team is scheduled to meet the Algonquins in their first game this evening. The Peerless boys expect to make a strong bid for the pennant honors this year, only being defeated once this season so far. Kamatz will probably twirl for the Peerless while Reel will be on the mound for the Algonquins. The Swatara team is to meet the Lemoyne A. C. this evening at Le moyne. The Lemoyne team has prov ed themselves fast company, not losing a game this year. Shearer. Central Iron and Steel League twirl er, will be on the mound for Swa tara, while Foland. Galahad backstop, will form the other battery. The score: "I Shall Never Wrestle Again," Pledges the Famous Dr. B.F. Roller Dr. B. F. Roller, the famous wrest ler-physician. who succumbed here recently to the youth and strength of Tom Draalt. Xetherland-Belgian champion, has writen a letter to the Telegraph which is herewith printed. He appears to be very bitter over the ring decision of Promoter and Ref eree Max Baumann who left the city yesterday for his home in Rochester, in the opinion of the sporting editor his remarks are extravagant. It has alieady been explained in these col umns that before starting the match Roller and Draalt agreed, in the catch-as-can, to resume immediately when they had been jammed against the ropes. Draak took advantage of this when he pounced suddenly on Roller and it helped to give him the fall. Baumann was identified more than once from the ring here by Dr. Roller as "the most capable manager and referee in the game to-day." The chances are that when he meditates a little longer over his unfortunate affair he will be more generous in his judgment of what is right and what is wrong in the modern wrest ling ring. He writes, from his resi dence, 260 West Seventy-second street. New York: "I am not a whimperer, nor am I a squealer, but the assertion of Max well Baumann. if correctly quoted in the Harrisburg paper clipping I have received, deserves a plain answer. To refresh your memory Mr. Bau mann insinuates that I "was not hurt, that I quit cold, in other words that I faked" with my match with Draak on the Srd.

In the 11 ill st place, what object would I have , had to quit, or to fake, because if I . acknowledged defeat I could have suffered no worse had I gone back , and wrestled again. In second place, . ; I was in the ring and offered with •| my robe off, against the advice of .jsome of Pennsylvania's greatest sur -jgeons. to wrestle the third fall even jiif I did not last a minute. How can ; Bstimann accuse me of unsports ,! manlike conduct? "What right has he . with his primitive education to belie • j the greatest surgeons in Pennsylva - 11 nia'.' There are doubtless a few f! things Raumann does not know. In i the third place, I have always spok ,; en very highly of Mr. Baumann, and ,; I do not know for what reason he accuses me of crooked work, and of .! hurling his game, when I think the , j fans in Harrisburg who have attend , ed matches there in which I have ,! participated will testify that anv ( thing that has been done to build I! clean sport and to put wrestling in .1 favor there has been done by me.' -: Now, the truth of the matter is 1 ! this, since Baumann forces me to tell . j it. I did not like to say or do any thing that might hurt Baumann, and ! I refused to claim any immunity, 11 tryng to put him right before the public even though he was absolute •jly wrong in his decision. If that event can be taken into account Bau mann is absolutely incapable as a referee, for when a referee calls holds off at the edge of the mat. the : wrestlers are not allowed, according to rule and custom to touch each 1 other and wrestle until told to do jso by the referee. Any wrestler I with an ounce of brains will confirm this statement, for the question asks iself automatically, when a referee 1 stops a contest how long is it to be j stopped? Naturally, till the referee ! starts it again. Otherwise they ; would naturally, when unsportsman ilike (which they often are) take any | advantage possible and dirty work | would be thereby encouraged, such !as grabbing a man from behind, wrestling off the mat, etc. Baumann ;is not overburdened with intelli : gcnce, but he has seen enough clean j wrestling to know this point, and I j tried to cover up his ignorance in a | spirit of good sportsmanship, but I ■ am now forced to tell you the truth, ; and he will have to take the con -1 sequences. j I never made an excuse in my life and I acknowledged defeat without a whimper, even though I knew the ; ruling was atrocious. I would not now reply if he had not besmirched my good name, and I make this statement in justice to my many friends in Harrsburg. i It is such things as this that dis gust self-respecting men with sport. There are always so many men who have no idea of honor or true sport, that the assoctaion is often most unpalatable. I am practising medi cine and surgery and am very busy, I and my standing has never been i questioned in, my profession, but *1 ! would not be surprised to learn that , I ant looked upon with suspicion be | cause of the "sports" with whom I have been associating. I confess it is reason for suspicion, but I say in explanation that I have paid for my | education by athletics, and have ac complished the purpose. I Bhall never wrestle again. Truly. B. F.

As he has them paired there should be plenty of action. Of course, the most interest is in the Sammy SchifT and Young Mahoney bout, which is scheduled for ten rounds, as Sammy is the local best Wet. while no outside boxer has gained as many friends here as the little gentleman boxer from Balti more. There is no doubt that Ma honey will have as many rooters at the ringside as the local boy. The semi-windup of six rounds is also coming in for its share of in terest, as Young (Bulldog) Silar, who meets Nate Isaacman, the lo cal favorite, is without doubt the toughest opponent Nate has yet been called upon to swap punches with. Silar was over seas with the One Hundred and Twelfth Infantry of the Twenty-eighth Division, where he represented his company in the boxing shows. While Nate's friends will be in majority at the | ringside, no doubt many of Silar's former soldier comrades will be on hand to cheer him to victory. Another youngster on the card who served overseas with Silar, is Young Wampler, of York, who is booked to meet Billy Atticks, the local middleweight. SchifT. Isaac man and Atticks are all training to gether. as they realize that they can not afford to have' the good name of Harrisburg take a backseat by losing in the coming show. Bar rett is busy now getting things in shipshape to open his up-to-date gymnasium at Front and Locust streets, as he expects Johnny Gill in town at any time, and he must have some place to get his men in proper condition to meet all comers. Joe says he is most sure Gill will be on hand to assist Silar and Mahoney to finish up their training in Steel ton, at least two days before the fight. Silar will be sure to do so, and Barrett has written to Mahoney's manager. Max Waxman. in Balti more, to send Mahoney to him next i Friday morning.

Sxtuusmmo ££& nkEOßxra "Snowball" Winters Back From Overseas to Pitch For West End 1 "SNOWBALL" WINTERS John Winters, better known as "Snowball," the well-known twlrler of the West End A. A., has just re turned to his home in Harrisburg after serving two years in Uncle Sam's A. E. forces in France. "Snowball's" addition to the West End A. A. pitching staff will add considerable strength to the fast go ing West Enders. Winters has kept himself in fine shape by pitching for one of the fastest teams in the A. E. forces. In many of the games played, while in France, he was associated with many major league stars. In sev eral of the games he held his op ponents to one and two hits and had as high as ten and twelve strike outs. He has pitched ball for the West End A. A. ever since a club has been organized in the West End, with the exception of two seasons, when he was on the mound for Scranton of the New York State League. In the early part of the 1918 season he was the instructor of the Mercersburg Academy pitch ing staff. Winters is about twenty-three years old and stands six feet one inch. He will be the on)y pitcher in the West End twilight league that the fingers on his won derful pitching arm can span a baseball. Winters is also a pretty fair clubber and some big things are expected from him in this line. It will he announced later as to the first game Winters will pitch, and at this time we want to see ev eryone in the West End attend this game and give our old standby the best welcome home that is possible.
