WEDNESDAY EVENING, INDEPENDENTS IN STIFF PRACTICE Start Season With St. Eliza beth Team Saturday Night; Haggerty in the Lineup A stiff practice last evening to be followed by workouts to-day, will conclude the preliminary efforts of the Harrisburg Independents for their opening contest of the season, to- be played in the Chestnut street audi torium Saturday night of this week with the St. Elizabeth quintet, of Philadelphia. There were a number of candidates out with what is regarded as the reg ular squad of the local Combination, and the practice last night was a live ly one from start to finish. In the absence of Haggerty. who Is unable to take part in the work-outs showing to his residence in Philadelphia, there was a slight switch in the line up, Kline going in at center. The squad that will take the floor on Saturday night as representatives of the Harrisburg Independent Asso ciation has not been definitely decided upon yet. It is probable, however, that Wallower and Kline will be in the forward positions, Haggerty at center and Gerdes and Gordon Ford at guards. Ike MoCord a Regular "Ike" McCord is to be a regular member of the team, but he may not be able to take part in Saturday's buttle, owing to a business engage ment out of the city. A definite an nouncement cdncerning his participa tion will be made by Friday, at the latest. It is the present intention o". the management to work Kline in the forward position in McCord's place. Haggerty has evidontl*- changed his mind concerning his intentions of not playing with the Reading Eastern League basketball team, for last night he took part in the opening contest between the Reading and North Phil adelphia teams of the Eastern League played in the Quaker city. Hagger ty put up. a good game, scoring two goals from field, and holding the op posing center to one two-pointer. A field goal during the last half min ute of the first half put the Reading team ahead for that period. The Reading team won out, 22 to 21, an extra period being required to settle the fray. Manager Gordon Ford announced this morning that the change in Hag gerty's plans concerning the playing ot Reading would not interfere with his contract with the Harrisburg team, and that he would be on the job for Saturday night's fray.

SNOODLES By Hungerford lif f fIS) Pw rye* mkr VTH6Y DOUGHBOY WINS FIRST MATCH 808 MARTIN Akron, Ohio, Oct. 29.—80b Martin, of Akron, heavyweight champion of the American Expediton-ary and Allied forces, won his first professional bout from Joe Bonds, of New York, at the end of the tenth round of a scheduled fifteen-round contest here last night, when Referee Matt Hinkle stopped the bout, Martin having outclassed his opponent irr every round. May Eclipse Colt Record Held by Famous Domino New York, Oct. 29.'—Had Samuel D. Kiddle's great two-year-old cojt, Man o' War, come on the scene next sea son instead of this year he might have won more money than any race horse since Domino, and possibly more than any two-year-old in the history of the American turf. With the flrst running of the Maryland Futurity, worth probably $70,000, and the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes, estimated value $40,0u0, added to the Futurity, the Hopeful, the Grand Union and United States Hotel Stakes, as well as several other rich prizes already established, the possibilities for a colt of Man o' War's caliber in 1920 will approximate, those of Dom ino's year. 1893. Of the nine races won by Domino seven were worth upward of $15,000 and three ran above $20,000. Ihese were the Futurity, worth S4S,SBS; the Matron Stakes, at Morris Park, $24,- 560, and the Great Trial Stakes, $23,- 100, at Sheepshead Bay. His other races were the Great American Stakes, at Gravesend, $18,675; the Produce Stakes. $19,875, and the Great Eclipse Stakes, $16,750, at Morris Park; the Hyde Park Stakes, $16,900, at Chicago; the dead beat race with Dobbins at Sheepshead Bay, $1,250, and a purse of $895 at Gravesend. It is significant of the transitory character of racing in Amei ica thut every track on which Domino run is now closed or destroyed, and the Futurity is the only fixed event won by him that still survives. And yet racing Is perhaps bigger game to day than it was in 1893. F-M Badly Crippled but Is Still in Grid Game Lancaster, Pa., Oct. 29. The already badly crippled Franklin and Marshall football squad, has started drill for the liaverford game at Hav erford on Saturday, with still more varsity players on the side line. Mark Leinhach, who was rapidly develop ing into a dependable baekfield man, suffered a fructured shoulder in the Dickinson game and will be out for the season. He joins "Dot" Mel linger and Boyd Newcomb, varsity backs who were injured earlier in practice, who are also out for the season together with Snyder and Mcllvaine, two of the most promis ing scrubs. "Ed" Mellinger, who had been expected to fill a back field berth, has been declared in eligible by the faculty. Hoster and Andy Truxal are nurs ing injuries from Saturday's game, but will be in shape to play against Haverford on Saturday. Truxal has a pulled ligament in the hip and Hoster has severe side injuries. Brother Against Brother in Penn Cross-Country Run Philadelphia, Oct. 29. Eddie Shields will carry the colors of the University of Pennsylvania and liisj brother I,arry will wear the Blue and White of State College in a dual cross-country meet over Cobb's Creek course this coming Saturday morning. The Shie'ds brothers are noted distance- runners. While at Mercersburg Eddie beat Larry in a heart-breaking mile run in the fast time of 4.23 which broke the world's interscholastic record. Larry will probably beat Eddie thfs coming Sat urday, however, as the latter has not yet fully recovered from pneumonia, which he contracted in a hydroair | plane uccident off Cape Cod last wiii- Iter.

Oct. 29.—Powerful electric lights 'flanking the field, five on each side, and mounted on fifty foot poles, were employed at the Naval Academy to offset the loss of an hour of daylight to football prac tice. They were needed by after noon, as practice did not start until after five, and there was a scarce half hour of daylight left. The sys tem was a success and enabled the Midshipmen to run through signals and have some kicking formation practice. The team came through the Bucknell game Saturday in fair shape, though Alford and Clark, two of the most promising backfte'd, received minor injuries early in the game. PROMINENT ATTORNEY HERE O. C. Bowers, dean of the Frank lin county bar and prominent as a practitioner for many years In coun ty, district and State courts, was in the city yesterday.

Wayne H. Bowers, a Reformed church missionary in Bar celona, Spain.

Benin has been the scene of belated attempt to develop the listic art, and at a recent series of contests the announcer gave a little harangue in advance, pointing out that, as Germany wanted to be on even terms in all sports, boxing as fostered by French, English and Americans had been introduced. The first pair of boxers came, re spectively, from • Berlin and Vienna and weighed in at 115 and 120 Ger man pounds, respectively. The Gor man pound is one-tenth heavier than the American. It was characteris tic that no two boxers weighed the same One was invariably heavier and had the advantage. The first victim, after putting up a fair show for two rounds, ran afoul of a wild swing of his oppo nent, and, so crude was the opponent, the "swipe" was with an open glove, and was really nothing more than a slap in the face. They wore eight ounce gloves too. Waited For Count Down went the "boxer" who had done so well for two rounds 110 took the count of nine, rose, and in a few seconds went down again, from a blow that could not have been more than a tap. He seemed to have lost courage, and though he was never "out" or anywhere near it. he lost all interest In fighting, and obedient y perched himself on elbows and knees as the referee counted him out. The last bout was very short and | sweet, principally because the far heavier man was a German who had lived in San Francisco for a long time—Hans Breitenstrateter. he call ed himself on the program. Hans showed just a bit of class, and the knowledge that he had been in Amer ica and presumably knew something about boxing evidently awed his eight-pound-lighter opponent. It was soon after the opening of tjie second round that Hans hit I Friedrich a tap on the chin, and he OCTOBER 29, 1919. prompt'y gave up the ghost. He was no more "out" than the other de feated pugilists. He had had enough and lie lay quite quietly until "ten" had sounded, then bounded to his feet and ran from the ring. In sharp contrast were the un usual circumstances attending the victory in ixindon of Eugene Orlqul, the Frenchman, over Walter Ross, the Englishman, for the premier ban tamweight honors of Europe. ,Tlie final blow was delivered when Ros3 did not know the fight was "on" and when the ring was crowded with seconds and other enthusiastic spec tators. Near the close of the fourteenth round a right hook to the jaw sent Ross to the mat apparently finished. After a few moments seconds from both corners lyith spectators clam bered into the ring. Ross was car ried to his corner helpless and the French contingent began to cele brate. Amid the usual confusion at tending a knockout. 1 Eugene Corri, the referee, announced that the gong had sounded a-t the count of seven. Ross, revived but dazed, joined the gesticulating Frenchmen and others in the center of the ring as Corr! was trying to clear the ring, all the while calling "bout on," a familiar London expression after an inter ruption. At first no one paid any attention to him. Criqui finally real ized that with the referee cn'ling "bout on" he had a right to fight, so he made his way through the crowd and planted a solid right on the unsuspecting Ross' jaw. There was no question about Ross being "out" after that and Criqui was offi cially credited with winning the championship by a knockout in the fifteenth round FAIRMOUXT WANTS GAME Because of a late cancellation the Fairmount football team of York is without a game for Saturday, No vember 1. To date they are un defeated and have been scored on but once. Any first class team who desires a game away from home can get same by communicating im- I mediately with William T. Euker, Bell 4751 -W. STRONG TEAM TO PLAY TECH HIGH Pcrkiomcn Seminary Will Be Saturday Attraction at Island Faculty Director P. L. Grubb of Tech this morning closed negotia tions with Perkiomen Seminary to play on the Island Saturday after noon.

Referee Raby, who officiated at Mercersburg last Saturday was connected with Per kiomen in the capacity of coach for a decade prior to this season.
