FUTURE BOXING SHOWS PROMISE MUCH FOR LOCAL FANS-TECH GAME FOR SATURDAY
\EW PLANS FOR
BOXING SHOWS
Association to Offer Local
Fight Fans Series of
Good Bills
Plans -will be completed within the
next few days for a series of boxing
shows and, if successful, will give
local fans something to talk about
all winter. Back of this movement
Is the Harrisburg Boxing Associa
tion. Officials yesterday gave notice
that this organization is here to
stay. "We want to help along this
sport," said one official, "and make
It still more popular here."
The plan is to run about two
shows each month on fixed dates as
far as possible. The talent is to In
clude many boys who have a reputa
tion and arc considered as title as
pirants. They will come from the
coal regions, east, west, north and
south. One of the local officials will
start to-day on a tour of cities to
line up the fighters and all who are
booked will have to show a record.
Chance For I-ocnl BoJ's
Local boys who make good will
be given every chance to met those
they desire. Printed contracts will
be used and in the event of a can
cellation the local promoters will be
In shape to have a good substitute
on hand at all times. There will be
ten-round windup, and eight-round
semiwindups when • arrangements
can be made.
The next show of the local
ciation will be on November 10.
Contracts have gone out and fords
will be out in a few days telling
about the big program. Jamison
and Droney will be the windup fpo
ture. These fighters as well as all
others signed up will he obliged to
show condition not later than ■noon
of the day the fight is to take place.
The association will secure a physi
cian to make the examination and
pass upon all fighters.
Another feature under considera
tion is a new arrangement of scats.
The plan is to provide a limited
number of seats at the ringside
which will be reserved; sell all but
three rows in the back at a dollar
each, and the rear seats at seventy
five cents each. The gallery seats
will be fifty cents each. These plans
will be taken up at the next meet
ing and the public given every in
ducement possible to help along the
boxing sport in Harrisburg.
Fans Are Talking About
Joe Barrett's Fight Card
at Olympia A. C. Tomorrow
Present indications point to a
good show at Steelton to-morrow
night." Manager Joe Barrett, of the
Olympia A. C., has arranged a
strong card and fight fans are
manifesting much interest. At this
show there will be several important
announcements made regarding fu
ture attractions.
The windub match to-morrow
night will be between Sammy Schiff,
of this city, and Young Mahoney,
of Baltimore. The latter made many
friends in this section by his ag
gressive fighting.
Jackie Parkes, of Lancaster, will
meet "Kid" Richmond in the special
bout of six rounds. Williams is
anxious to show before Barrett's
club again, and he has promised to
fight Parkes there, providing
Parkes beats Richmond decisively,
to-morrow night.
Young Lehman, the local wrest
ler, who will take a chance at box
ing, will meet Laurence King, of
this city. Red Singer, of Dauphin,
will meet Chester Rowan, from the
West Side, in Steelton; Gordi Car
chadi and Ivory Eshelman, both
from different sections of Steelton,
will meet in the opening bout.
Will Be Some Battle Is
Word From Mahoney's Boss
"Kindly grant me space in your
valuable columns to state my version
of the Mahoney-Schiff match, which
takes place October 30, at Steelton.
"Due to an injury received in a
match with Joe Marks, last season, I
to call it off, now that
they have been rematched I want
to correct the impression created
last season, that Mahoney fears Schiff.
He fears no one, if I thought lie
did I would not handle him. In the
past few months he has met some
of the best boys in the country with
success, and I hereby give warntng
to Sammy Schiff that he is in for a
battle of his life, that's all.
"Kid Riehmand, who meets Jacky
Parks in the semi is fast as greased
lightning, and I assure the fans that
they will see some battle."

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.

ROTE IS BACK IX GAME
Harry Rote, a prominent Harris
burg athlete, got into uniform at
Lehigh University on Monday and
returned to the varsity eleven. Rote
had his cheekbone fractured and was
operated on recently in a hospital
where the bone was set.
According to a report "rom Le
high University, Rote directed the
varsity team in signal drill for twenty
minutes, but did not figure in any
scrimmage. He appears to be in
shape, however, for play at any time.

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.

Salvation Army Head
Issues His Report For
Two Months' Activities
Ensign Libby, who has been in
charge of the Salvation Army work
in Harrisburg for the last two
months, has issued a report of the
activities during that period. The
report follows: Number of meals
given, 44; given transportation, 3;
garments given away, 90; pairs of
shoes, 28; persons given lodging,
20; families helped, 7; persons in
families relieved, 33; afforded tem
porary relief, 43; total value of all
relief given, $107.87; actual cash
given, $45.27.
Plans are being made now for
the annual Christmas dinner which
will be given again this year. Last
year 250 persons were given 1 * dinner
and 100 children were presented
with toys.
Ensign Libby explained to-day
that in addition to the monthly
amount allowed the Salvation Army
from the funds secured in May dur
ing the Home Service Fund cam
paign, it is necessary to take collec
tions at his meetings and at street
services. No funds are being so
licited, however, from business
place, he said, and anyone soliciting
money in this. manner or from
house-to-house, is an impostor. The
Salvation Army will have kettles on
the street corners in December for
contributions to the Christmas din
ner basket fund.
An appeal is being made by the
Salvation Army for old garments
made of muslin, which is needed for
bandages for a patient being cared
for through this organization. Per
sons desiring to provide this ma
terial should communicate with
officials of the organization.
Navy Has Remedy to Get
Back One Daylight Hour
Annapolis. Md. 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. Mr. Bowers is
the father of two sons who have
attained prominence in their call
ings. Perhaps the best known is
Robert Hood Bowers, the New York
musician and composer. Another
son is the Rev. Wayne H. Bowers, a
Reformed church missionary in Bar
celona, Spain.

SPREAD OF BOXING BRINGS
NUMEROUS NOVEL INCIDENTS;
KNOCKOUTS BIG SURPRISE
New York, Oct. 29.—The spread of
boxing to countries which previous
to the war were not lamiliar with
the ring game has resulted to a
number ot novel incidents viewed
in the lignt of American pugilistic
traditions. 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

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
