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.

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

"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. The letter started with ;
congratulations and then casually
suggested three games for nex|f;
year, one in the spring, one in mid
season and the third later on."

HAItRISBURG TELEGRXI^C
DICKINSON TO
PLAY F. 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

DUNDEE MEETS
GREAT FIGHTER
Harrisburg Fans Look For
Real Boxing Show on
Friday Night
Advices reaching Harrisburg in
dicate that "Allentown" Dundee will
not have an easy thing of it in
Charley "Kid" Thomas, the Phila
delphia boy with whom ho is sched
uled to go ten rounds at the Harris
burg Boxing show in
the Chestnut Street Auditorium Fri
day night of this week. 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.

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.

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.

DICKERING AND FAIR PRICES
What is a fair price? 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

SONG AND DANCE
NUMBERS PLEASE
Three Couples Offer Big Va
riety of Selections; Ban
joists Popular
Sor.g and dance numbers take the
lead on the Majestic program for the
first half of the week, three couples
presenting a big variety of selections,
together with plenty of comedy
patter.
Helen Holmes gets through the
fourth episode of the serial "The
Fatal Fortune." without losing her
life, then the Bolgar Brothers open
the bill with some fine manjo play
ing. A medley Including parts of two
overtures by Von Suppe and a mel
ody from "ill Trovatore," starts their
program. This is followed by popular
selections ending in a furious finish.
The applause for the Bolger boys
latsted for minutes.
Slim Grandel and Coryl Esther are
next in the first of four song and
dance acts. Slim has the right name
and half the fun In this one is caused
by him. Earl and Muller follow with
a* vaudeville novelty, the latter doing
some fine dancing.
Roliand and Ray do some singing
and keep up a liee of eetehtaining
repartee. The song "I'm Only a Poor
Married Man," in this act made a hit.
The Fashion Minstrels close with Jazz
and other songs, some charming and
daring costumes being presented.
Josio Flynn, Mme. Arnolda. Irene and
Bobby Smith are with this company.

Retailers of Foods Make
300 Per Cent Profit
Washington, Oct. 21. Prices
charged by retailers for food
stuffs here frequently are from
200 to 300 per cent, in excess
of the wholesale prices a Senate
investigating committee declared
in its report.
"It would seem,"* said the re
port, "that the retail meat dealers
receive a greater per cent, of
profit than the farmer. livestock
raiser, buyer, railroad commis
sion men and the storage and
packers combined."
JUST LOOK NATURAL
[From the Houston Post!
A college professor who was al
ways ready for a Joke was asked by
a student one day if he would like a
good recipe for catching rabbits.
""Why, yes," replied the professor.
"What is it?"
"Well," said the student, "you
crouch down behind a thick stone
wall and make a noise like a
turnip."
"That may be," said the professor
with a twinkle in his eye, "but a
better way than thai would be for
you to go and sit quietly in a bed*>£
cabbage heads and look natural.**
