JOHNNY DUTKO WILL BE ON NEXT LOCAL FIGHT CARD-BASKETBALL SEASON NEAR URAINE WANTS TOO MUCH MONEY * Will Not Meet Johnny Gill in Next Steelton Show; Probable Windup For his regular boxing show Thursday night, October 30, Joe Barrett, manager of the Olympia A. C. t in Steelton, will not have Mike TJraine and Johnny Gill. According to Barrett, Uraine, not only wants the whole receipts, but wants the • clubhouse and gloves thrown in. Young Mahoney, of Baltimore, is now ready to meet all comers at his weight, and instead of the above bout, Barrett is looking around for * some one to meet the popular Bal timorean. Mahoney writes Barrett, "match me with Schiff. I will deliver the goods. If Schiff refuses, then •' get me Billy Angelo. It is likely j that either Schiff or Angelo will i meet the Baltimorean in the next I show. Monthly Boxing Carnival Barrett announced to-day that he will start on Thanksgiving night to ] run a monthly amateur boxing car- ! nival, with the intention of develop- | ing some stars from hereabouts. All j t nearby youngsters are asked by ! Barrett to call on him at the club- j house any evening from 7.30 to | 8.30 to let htm weigh them, so he I can place them in their proper class, j There is a dread among young- | sters about entering the game with ' some one who had fought for money, which stands in the way of j developing future greats, and this j offer is open only to those who have never fought before. Barrett ! would like to make the first show one of bantam and featherweights, but boys of any weight may call on him to be listed. .Football Facts From Susquehanna University "Bill" Janson. who comes from Har rlsburg. is playing quarterback on the Susquehanna Varsity eleven. • Since f coming to the Susquehanna Univer sity he has advanced from captain of reserves and coach of the informal end R A.

COME ON WITH SCANDAL PROOF No Person Shows Desire to Pull Down Easy Money; Bluff Called "I hereby offer 310,000 for | evidence that will prove any ; crookedness in the recent world ; series and the same amount for the detection of persons who, without any valid reason, insti gated the stories that the White Sox 'laid down' to the Reds." Charles Comiskey. Chicago. Oct. 21. The whispered scandals about the recent World Series, spread abroad by gamblers | who lost bets they thought were I cinches, has resulted in a Chicago | explosion that has an echo, neces j sary In Cincinnati. Charles Com . iskey, owner of the White Sox, en- I raged at the talk that went on dur j ing and after the series, wants the detractors to step forward and give j their evidence, or to take their medi | cine if they can not prove the ! charges. The $lO,OOO offer made by j the Old Roman of baseball will re , suit in ending the insinuations, for I not one of the scandal mongers will 1 produce any "evidence," because there is none to produce. The "World Series scandal," which I was given considerable attention by | some writers, had two angles. It I was asserted, after the Sox had been I so badly routed, four games to one, that the Sox "laid down." It was I even clajmed that seven of Com iskey's players received $lOO,OOO from a Chicago gambling syndicate, and that the sinful seven conspired to throw the games. Then, when the ' Sox had rallied, and made it three i games to four, the knockers asserted that the Reds, in turn, had thrown | two games, just to bring in extra coin for the club owners, Herrmann and Comiskey. These insinuations found plenty of believers, as scandal always will. Proofs That Game Was Square If the AVhito Sox threw the series, j they'd never have fought the way j they did, never had battled with the j umpires and the Reds. The attack ! which Eddie Collins made on Jimmy j Smith, the wild rush of Schalk on | Umpire Rigler, didn't emanate from a team that was trying to lose. As j for the Reds, in turn, doing a lay- j down act serenely confident that they had already won, they simply ! grew careless, and nearly had their j feet kicked from under them before ■ they got their senses back. The series was bitterly contested, i and the players thought nothing as j to their owners' wallets or the emolu- 1 ments of any set of bettors. They ! played for two objects the glory of 1 the victory and the difference be tween $5,225 and $3,400. Comiskey! will never have to pay his $lO,OOO ; out to anybody. Commonwealth Travelers to Have Strong Team The Commonwealth Travelers, one ' or the strongest of the local inde- i pendent basketball teams during , last season, is to go on the floor again this year.

"Bracky" After Games For Next Baseball Season Manager John Brackenridge is on ! the job for next season and promises j plenty of big league games. The Cincinnati Times-Star says: "Billy Smith, manager of the ! Shreveport team in the Texas league, j is in the city trying to arrange for , exhibition dates with the Reds in j the spring. He told Business Man- ' ager Bancroft that the Shreveport j team had a prosperous year. Banny also has an application from Har risburg. Pa., for exhibition games j next year.

AND M. LAn Important Game on Lan caster Schedule; Hard at Work Lancaster, Pa., Oct. 21. With the Pennsylvania Military College game out of the way, Coach "By" Dickson is working his men hard this week in preparation for Satur day's game with Dickinson at Lan caster. This game, together with the other four on the Blue and White schedule, will be keenly I fought, for in each instance Franklin I and Marshall will meet bitter rivals. ! The games thus far staged have I been games in which there has not I been great rivalry. Prospects at Franklin and Mar | shall are rosier at the present time ' than at any other time this season. • 'Dot" Mellinger, star quarterback, and Newcome, stellar line man, are rapidly rounding in shape and are expected to be in Saturday's game. It will be the first game of the sea son for Mellinger, he having been injured In practice before the season opened. Likewise his brother "Ed" Mellinger is expected to be. on the backrteld for the first time this sea son in the Dickinson game. All the other men are in good shape. Keen For Revenge Dickinson has been tiie winner in the last two melees in which these teams have participated, so the Franklin and Marshall squad is keen, for revenge. On the basis of com parative scores, things appear to be evenly divided. Franklin and Mar shall conquered Albright by a larger score than did Dickinson, but in turn, Dickinson defeated Delaware State while the best Franklin and Marshall could do was to hold the peach growers to a scoreless tie. Scrubs at Dickinson While the first teams are mixing it up on Williamson Field, Lancas ter, the Scrubs of the two institu tions will be staging a second battle on Biddle Field, Carlisle. Coach "By" Dickson will send a big squad of second-string men under Assistant Manager Rossman to the Cumber land county city for this fray. Penbrook Winner in Speedy Game at York Here is what the York Dispatch says about the Penbrook victory on Saturday: "Catching Gorman's pretty for •ward pass in the vicinity of Beth any's 20-yard line, Black, the speedy Penbrook left end, planted the ball back of the goal posts for the only touchdown scored in the game be tween Bethany football team and the Penbrook eleven, of Harrisburg, j Saturday afternoon, on the Chain Works gounds and registered Bethany's second defeat of the sea son. jßlack also kicked the goal, which placed the score 7 to 0 at the end of play. •"Fumbles at decisive periods of the game broke up chances to score . on the part of both teams. Several' times Bethany had the ball in Pen- | brook territory, but fumbles or the j stiff defense of the visitors broke j up attempts to score. The capital j city players also had repeated j chances to score, but failed to take j advantage of them. " 'Bub' Hodgson, coach of the • Bethany eleven, donned a red and black uniform for the first time this season. Hodgson replaced Spangler at the quarterback position. Several other changes were made in the Bethany line-up. "Gorman's long forward pass was pulled in the second quarter after both teams had failed to take ad vantage of many scoring possibili ties. After Black's toe shot the oval over the goal post neither team was able to score." Charles Ettinger Has Quit Newspaper Game Owing to the rush of business that has been coming his way since he became a manager of boxers, Charlie Ettinger, who Is officiating as match rfiaker for the Harrisburg Boxing Association, has resigned his posi tion as a reporter on an Allentown newspaper, and Intends to give his attention entirely to the sport. His stable of fighters now Includes Jackie Clarke, the crack middleweight who appeared here a few weeks ago to such good advantage; Allentown Dundee, who is to fight here Friday, and Johnny Herman, in addition to several good preliminary men. It Is likely that he will add several other fighters to his string shortly. JACK PERRY DEFEATS WELSH By Associated Press. Pittsburgh, Oct. 21. —Jack Perry, Pittsburgh, won by a very slight shade over Joe Welsh, Philadelphia, in a ten-round bout here last night, according to a majority of local sport writers. Welsh displayed the best generalship, and won the earl ier rounds by superior boxing. Porry landed many effective body punches during the last four rounds. Both men are welterweights.

Thomas, it is said, has been showing up a num ber of men in his class during tire past year, although little concern ing him has filtered In from the dis trict in which he has been confin ing the majority of his fights. Dundee Popular Here Harrisburg fans are acquainted with Dundee. He is a fighter who Is willing to meet any person in the lightweight class, excluding none. This was demonstrated here when he was matched for a battle with Lew Tendler last winter. Tendler I showed himself up* for what sort ! of a person he is at that time, but Dundee did not allow a matter like a comparatively small attendance to keep him from fighting. Ho went on against a boxer regarded vir tually as dangerous as Tendler and gave him a hard run throughout.

Plant them on Arbor Daj, TECH HAS HARD GAME SATURDAY Go to Mercersburg For Battle With Crack College Team "On to Mercersburg" is the slogan of the football eleven and the stu dent body of the Technical High School after the big victory over Baltimore Polytechnic Saturday. The team will leave Saturday morning at 7.45, and the largest crowd In the history of Tech will accompany the squad. While many will go by train, many autos will speed along the Rock Bottom road to the Frank lin county institution. Yesterday Coach Smtih put the squad through lightwork, after the hard game Saturday. The Tech tutor has been perfecting plays for the Mercersburg contest that will bo tried out in a regular game for the first time Saturday, although the Tech team has been perfecting the plays against the reserves. At the last two games Mercers burg "spies" have seen Tech play, and Tech did not show more than necessary. Rumor has it that the Franklin county eleven has had the benefit of three extra coaches the last two weeks in preparation for the big Maroon eleven. Sympathy For Frank Much regret was heard to-day concerning the injury to Captain Frank. Latest advices have it that "Haps" Will be on the side lines the better part of the remainder of the season. "Bill" Pleam will doubtless get first call, although Aldinger, Ellinger and several other reserves will fight hard to fill the gap. No other eleven in the country, scholastic or collegiate has the rec ord to date to compare with Tech. The Maroon lads have amassed 321 points in the four games. A little better than eighty points per game. Looks very much like Harrisburg is going to have its first world's cham pion.

It Is not what you want to pay or, the price you were charged, but lies somo- i where between the two. Economists say that prices are fixed by a sort of compromise be tween what sellers ask and buyers will pay. This assumes exertion on the part of buyers to keep prices down. It assumes also that they know what in justice they ought to pay. Neither of these assumptions is Justified In actual practice. Sellers learn to count upon the inertia of buyers and their ignorance of whnt 1 prices, taking into consideration cur rent conditions, are fair. In the Orient especially, and also to a certain extent In Europe, peo ple are disposed to dicker about prices: that is, they stand on their rights and refuse to pay prices asked. Americans, however,%eem to think It be'ittTing to question prices. They Just dig down in their Jeans and pay up, A veritable reyolutlon could be nf- I fected if people would exercise their ! right to object to prices, refuse out | right to pay when they believe prices too .high or take a little trouble to find out the places where prices are lower. The people, a prominent economic writer says, are more re sponsible for excess costs than all the sel'ers put together. That may be nn overstatement, hut it is un doubtedly true that the people by their own care and thrift could do more to bring down prices than any amount of legislation.—Milwaukee Journal.
