"ALLENTOWN DUNDEE IS GIVEN HARD BATTLE BY TIM DRONEY - TECH IN HARD GAME
TECH SQUAD IS
SURE OF VICTORY
% Leavc Early For Mercersburg,
Where Hard Battle Is
Anticipated
Twenty members of the Tech High
School football squad left Harrisburg
this morning with over 100 rooters
foi their big game of the season with
the Mercersburg Academy. It Is with
out doubt the biggest quarry Tech
High has ever gone against as the
Franklin county lads have a reputa
tion throughout the entire country.
Harrisburg also sent many rooters.
Beck, Wilsbach, Lingle and Gar
rett are the quartet upon whom Coach
gmith will depend to bring back the
.victory. The team will returrn to this
city at 6.20 to-night and will be met
by those unfortunate enough to have
missed the contest. Even though the
score should go against Tech it will
not Interfere with the Maroon's claim
to the High School championship as
the Mercersburg boys are not in the
High School class. But Tech expects
that the same thing will happen to
Mercersburg as has happened to the
other four teams this season, although
Mercersburg Is expected to hold the
locals to the lowest tally of the sea
son. The reserves were pitted this
afternoon against the Carlisle Hos
pital at that place. Probable lineup

SATURDAY EVENING,
TIMDRONEYIS
REAL FIGHTER
Takes Kid Thomas' Place and
Shows Allentown Dundee
a Few Things
Fight fans witnessed a great box
ing show last night. Every battle
had Its thrills. It was a big suc
cess for the Harrisburg Boxing As
sociation notwithstanding the efforts
of the manager of Kid Thomas who
failed to keep his contract with the
management
Fortunateiy Lancaster Is not far
away and there are some good fight
ers in that city, and there is also
a railroad that has trams running
to and from Lancaster at short in
tervals. This enablbd the manage
ment to secure Tim Droney, as a sub
stitute for Thomas. In the ten
round battle with Allentown Dundee
and Droney the patrons witnessed
one of the best battles ever seen in
Harrisburg.
The failure of Thomas to show up
is anothe* orgument in favor of a
State f.oxir.g > U
a hint tune, in the opiu.on of "k-j
patrons, tbi't mat, age's of boxers
make rcou. The Harrirlu g box
ing Association is making every el
fort to give Harrisburg clean *P° r -.
and it is certain they are doing their
part.
Droney Was Fa void to
Some who witnessed last night s
ten-round wmdup give tlie decision
a draw. Tnis would be an m.ms- .
ttce to Dioney. Tne Lancaster boy, i
while not having all the best of the
fight made a better showing than
Dundee. The latter is a real fighter
but he had a hard man to deal
with. In the second round Dundee
had a shade the better of his op
ponents and it was an ® y en battle
for the next six rounds; but the
windup had Droney forcing the
fighting. . ..
Another good exhibition was the
six-round battle between Rube Ben
net, of Harrisburg and Johnny Dutke
of Allentown. There was no ques
tion about Bennet having the best of
this contest. The Harrisburg boy
was obliged to force the fish""®
and the only thing that saved Dutke
from a knockout was his clinching
tactics. Dutko was even steven with
Bennett in two rounds, but the other
four was surely all Bennett.
Shugrue Shades Isaacman
Nate Isaacman had to go some
with Young Shugrue of Allentown.
The latter has the best of the local
boy in the majority of the six rounds.
It was a good battle, both boys do
ing their level best. Isaacman's
clever foot work saved him some
hard blows.
K. O. Casey, of Harrisburg, gave
Jerry Glass, of Carlisle, the Hay
maker rout in the second round.
Casev was the best boy, but lack of
wind made Glass stop. The Carlisle
boy has not had enough experience
and is willing to try it again, with
a chance for harder training. He
said, "When I heard the ocean waves
I knew my sleep time was coming
and had to take the count."
Slimming up the program the Har
risburg Boxing Show won much fav
orable commendation. They were
willing to call off the entire show
and lose money, but Tim Droney
came to their rescue. The new _ as
sociation's popularity with local fight
fans was greatly increased last
night. .. ,
An added feature was the referee,
Jack Malley, of Ixmcaster, one of the
best men in a ring in Pennsylvania.
He is fair with all fighters and looks
after the public's interest. He has
been in the game for 20 years and
always delivers the goods.
SNOODLES Un g er^ or^
INJURIES MANY
COACHES REPORT
Belief That Soldiers From
France Have Too Much
Yankee Punch
New York, Oct. 25. Something
is wrong with the 1919 football
player. Eastern coaches have been
led to this belief after star upon
star has joined the disabled list.
None has been injured critically, but
from the preponderance of pulled
muscles, tending and slight bone
fractures it seems that the athletes
are not up to their usual strength
to stand the gaff.
The cause is a puzzle. Either the
boys returning from France have
brought back too much "Yankee
punch" or the hardships of army
experience have undermined them
physically.
Yale Has Eleven Injured
Yale tops the list with 11 star
players unserviceable through in
juries. They are Thome, Murphy,
Braden, Callahan, Graham, Welles,
Neville, La Roche, Crane and Aid
rich.
Harvard has a squad In the in
firmary consisting of Captain Mur
ray, Ralph Horween, Casey and sev
eral substitutes.
Princeton lost her star center,
Murray Scureman, two weeks ago,
and the Navy has two stars out,
Captain Ewen and Graves.
Say Eli Practices Too Hard
Some persons refuse to consider
the Army as a factor and attribute
the. cause to overtaxing the players
in practice. This has been the chief
criticism against the Sharpe regime
at Yale. Followers of the Eli have
been pointing to Pennsylvania,
where Coach Bob Folwell practically
has abandoned scrimmage practice
as an indication that the severe prac
tice sessions favored by the new
Yale coach are not necessary.
Injuries at Harvard cannot be
blamed upon over-severe scrim
mages, however, as Bob Fisher has
been lenient in his workouts.
Some Harvard backers believe It is
the unusually heavy punch of ihe
offensives this fall, rather than poor
condition of the former soldiers, that
will cause practically all of the big
teams to go into the championship
games with crippled, patched
elevens.
Bucknell Places Big Hopes
on Harrisburg Tech Star
I.rwlKburK. Pa.. Oct. 25.—Bucknell s
varsity eleven is traveling a fast
pace. This week saw the return to the
squad of several casuals who have
strengthened the line and backfield,
and the shift of Ebner from quarter
back to left halfback has greatly in
creased the offensive power of Coach
Reynolds' outfit.
Captain Hendren's Injury has cost
the team its best line plunger and one
of the best interferers on the squad.
But with Ebner in his place, the back
field has gained the fastest man on
the field. Although he weighs twenty
pounds less than Hendren. Ebner can
clip out interference equally well.
Reynolds' men, so far, have played
four games. They lost with Pennsyl
vania and Penn State by scores that
were low enough to satisfy the col-,
lege and its alumni. Victories were
recorded over Bloomsburg Normal
and Muhlenberg, the latter being
trampled under 27 to 0. This early
season showing is more satisfactory
to Bucknell men. Facing hard games
with the Navy, Syracuse. Gettysburg
and Dickinson on foreign fields and
with Susquehanna at home. Buck
ncll's team is in splendid shape for
the remainder of the schedule.
New Philadelphia First
Sacker Looks Promising
MILLER..
Jack Miller has been purchased
from St. Louts by the Phillies. Man
ager Cravath says he is a promising
player nnd in new company will
• show a fast pace. He will be played
I at first base.
HARRISBURG TELEGR3LPB:
FRESHMEN ARE
READY FOR FRAY
Pcnn State Yearlings Today
Meet Indiana
Normal
State College, Pa., Oct. 25. —Penn
State Freshmen will open their sea
son this afternoon when they will
line up against Indiana Normal just
previous lo the varsity game with
Ursinus. The Freshmen schedule
consists of but lour games this year,
three of them on the home field and
the other with the Cornell Fresh
men at Ithaca In conjunction with
the varsity game on November 15.
Bellefonte Academy plays here on
November 1, while the Freshmen
from the University of Pittsburgh
will furnish part of the Pennsylvania
Day attraction by appearing on New
Beaver Field on November 7.
Yearlings Look Good
Penn State's squad of yearlings
seems to be a good one. Coach Her
man will probably start the follow
ing lineup: Parent, of Northeast
High, Philadelphia, and Park, of
Hatboro High, ends; Shuster, all
scholastic tackle from Williamsport,
and McMahan, of Bellefonte Acad
emy, tackles; Coffleld from Pique
High School, Ohio, and Aschenfelter
from Ursinus College, guards;
Spurr, from Penn Charter, center;
Harper, Geneva College, quarter
back Hess from Indiana Normal
and Hufford from West Virginia,
halfbacks, and Parsons, of Southern
High, fullback.
Little is known of the strength of
the Indiana team except that it tied
the Carnegie Tech Freshmen and
defeated West Virginia Wesleyan
scrubs. They are reported to have
a strong team and Coach Herman
is anxious to keep the Freshmen
slate clean by turning In a victory.

Benny Kline, Cage Star ,
to Play With Independents
t There will likely be one or two
new faces in the lineup of the Har
rlsburg Independent basketbnll team
on the opening night of the season'
next Saturday, November 1. One of
these will probably be Benny Kline,
the South Front street youth, who
made quite a record for himself as
•forward and captain of the
apolls Knights of Columbus squas
last winter.
Kline is a Jewish boy and has a
large number of friends throughout
the mty. He has figured in the line
up 01 several local combinations,
playing one season with the Rose
wood Club. It was this team that
showed up strong and in a match
with the Independents of that year
won out by a close score. 1
YOUNG MAHONEY
MEETS GOOD MAN
On Olympia Bill For Ten
Round Argument; Other
Good Bouts
Local friends of Young Mahoney,
the Baltimore lightweight boxer,
who is on the card to fight ten
rounds with Sammy Schiff next
Thursday night before the Olympia
A. C., in Steelton, are of the opinion
that Mahoney has never felt the
pangs of defeat. Such is not the
case. Like all those who have
climbed to the top of the pugilistic
ladder, the gentlemanly little Balti
morean has been knocked out, but
only once in his career.
During the middle of last season,
before the American A. A., Terry
Hopkins, one of New York's best
lightweights, caught Mahoney an
uppercut in the seventh round, after
Mahoney had the best of the show
all the way, and Mahoney took the
count last week before the Coli
seum Club, In the Monumental City.
Mahoney met this same Hopkins
and did what is a very rare thing,
that is to knock out the same man
who once put him down for the
count. It happened in the second
round. He meets Sammy Schiff at
the Olympia A. C., Steelton, next
week.
"Kid" Richmond, who is touted as
the best bantamweight in Baltimore,
outside of Williams, is matched to
meet Jackie Parkes, Lancaster, best
bantam in the special bout of six
rounds.
Young Lehman, the best local
wrestler, will turn pugilist, in this
show, and has been training for
several months with this in view.
