No football team in this vicinity
* has put in more strenuous practice
than the certain volleyball team did
last evening. At the Central Y. M.
C. A. gymnasium the 5 o'clock busi
ness men's class had a hard workout
for one hour. I.ater the Zembo Pa
trol team put in 70 minutes of real
practice.
These teams will meet to-morrow
in the second game of a series of
five for the locul volleyball cham
pionship. The game will be played

ing at 8.15. In the first game the
Business Men won out by a small
margin. Following the game, there
will be two hours of dancing with
Franklin's orchestra furnishing the
music.
Weekly Events
This game and dance will mark
the opening of weekly events with
a probability of two games with a
dance at intervals. Volleyball has ]
won many boosters in Harrisburg
and each battle finds Increased at
tendance. To-morrow night will be
Zembo night. Members of Zembo
Temple with their lads will be out
and root. for_their team.
The Business Men will also have
a bunch of rooters. Cheer leaders
have been picked and some lively
moments may be expected. "Cappy"
Hoy, manager of the Zembo Patrol

bout. Billy Angelo will meet Cyclone
Smith. Angelo will meet the clev
erest man he has yet faced.
Gill is now a resident of Steelton,
and is training daily at the club,
with several boxing partners, from
3 to 5 p. m. Since three Steelton
boys took part in Barrett's prelim
inaries last week, at least another
half dozen local boys have joined
Barrett's crowd, and three of the
best Steelton boys, will be matched
with three of Harrisburg's best, in
the three six-round bouts yet to be
arranged by Joe, which makes thirty
eight rounds of boxing in all.

Coach Bezdek Praises Men
Who Helped Penn State Win
State College. Pa.. Nov. 5. Coach
Bezdek gave his Blue and White
eleven more or less of a rest since
Mondav as a reward for their great
work "against Penn last Saturday.
Signal drill occupied most of the
coach's time and the mistakes of
the game were all pointed out. W itn
the exception of Way's sore shoulder,
all of the men are in good condi
tion. To-day work will begin in
earnest for the Lehigh game on Penn
sylvania Day. for Penn State play
ers and coaches are not underesti
mating the strength of the Brown
and White eleven.
The work of the Blue and White
line at Penn was particularly pleas
ing to Coach Bezdek, as the line has
been the big problem thus far. Con
over seems to have found himself,
and he should prove to be a match
lor any rival center. Rauch and Os
born, the two guards, seems to have
solved that problem also, while Henry
will probably continue to pair off
with Ben Cubbage at tackles.
The work of Dutch Brown at left
end was a revelation, while Higgins
gave one of the greatest exhibi
tions of bis career. He bad never
before punted in a game, yet he com
pletely out-distanced both Brunner
and Bell.

serves ; Bethlehem Next
The biggest football attraction of
the season will be presented on the
Island Saturday afternoon when the
Technical High School reserves will
oppose the Camp Curtin Junior High
School at 1.30, as a curtain-raiser to
the Tecli-Bethlehem Prep contest at
3.00 p. m. Both games will be fea
ture contests.
Saturday will be the first time
j that local patrons will have had to
see the Camp Curtin lads in action
under the couching of Hoiuce Gelsel.
Opposed to them will be "Bob" Lutz's
second string. Later in the season
the Kdison Junior High will oppose
the Tech seconds, and this will serve
as a comparison as to the relative
strength of the two Junior High
Schools who will be pitted against
each other for the Junior High
supremacy. When these two schools
meet it will be a miniature Central -
Tech struggle.
The Camp Curtin lads and lassies
will be out in full force with a cheer
ing section to aid their team to vic
tory. It should be a battle royal.
The Juniors have not lost a game to
date.
The Big Game
Following the preliminary will
come tho Tech-Bethlehem Prep i
battle with Captain "Honnie" Kohl-I

Scientific Discussions
by Garrett P. Serviss
BY GARRETT P. SERVISS
Since the opening of this century the
world of thinkers has been amazed and
fascinated by the glimpse of the il
limitable energy locked up in the
atoms of matter that has been acci
aecidentally disclosed to the eye
of Science by certain cases of
spontaneous disintegration or a'-
teration, of the basal elements
of chemistry. To grasp the meaning
of these gigantic intra-atomic forces
(the conquest of which would make
man truly Nature's master), it is neces
sary to account for them by the well
known laws of mechanics concerning
mass velocity, etc. They arise from
the astonishingly swift revolution of
the electrons in the atom.
To set these forces free for our use
we should have to do something with
the atoms equivalent in effect to the
instantaneous removal of a man from
the equator to the pole or from the pole
to the equator.
For, little as we are aware of it, we,
too, have tremendous forces locked up
in our bodies, due to motion. This mo
tion is derived in part from the earth's
rotation on its axis. Shakespeare's fa
mous line. "There are more things in
heaven and earth. Horatio, than are
dreamt of in your philosophy," gets
new significance if we ponder on the
unknown effects upon ourselves of this
balanced motion.
But, let us see what purely mechan
ical energy sleeps unnoticed in our
earth-whirled bodies. If you live in the
latitude of York, Boston, Chicago,
you are carried round in a circle by
the rotating earth at a speed of about
800 miles an hour, or more than 13
miles a minute. As you go south
ward the speed increases. On the
equator it becomes about 1,000 miles
an hour, or 16 2-3 miles a minute.
But, if you were at either of the
earth's poles the only motion imparted
to your body by the earth's rotation
would be simply one turn every 24
hours around your vertical axis. Sup
pose, then, that you were instantane
ously transported from the equa
tor to the North Pole, retaining
the tangential speed which you
bad at the equator, it would be
as if the circumference of the
circle that you had been describing In
24 hours had suddenly shrunk from
25,000 miles to zero! You would then
shoot away from the pole at a speed of
16 2-3 miles a minute, or about 1,462
feet per second. You would become
something like an electron shot from
an atom. If you weighed 200 pounds
you would carry with you six-and-a
quarter million foot-pounds of energy.
Whenever we travel north or south
over the earth's surface the amount of
kinetic energy in our bodies, derived
from the earth's rotation, varies, gain
ing if we approach the equator, and
diminishing if we go poleward. But,
the change occurring gradually, wo are
unaware of it, as indeed we are una
ware that there is anything of the kind
within us.
However, these changes do produce
perceptible effects, for all moving ob
jects have their direction slightly shift
ed through this cause, the shift being
toward the right in the northern hemi
sphere, and toward the left In the south
ern. This force is visible In the cy
clonic rotation of the winds, and has
been thought to be perceptible in a ten
dency of rivers to eat into their banks.
It is not alone from the earth's ro
tation that we are Imbued with an im
mense energy of motion unnoticed by
ourselves. By being carried with the
earth around the sun we have imparted
to us a momentum far greater, even,
than that derived from the tcrrestrlai
rotation. The earth's orbital speed,
which we, of course, share, is about
18% miles per second, or 66 times as
swift us the rotational velocity at the
equator. Rut this is combined with
yet another motion, viz; the "proper
motion," which the earth shares with
the entire solar system, in its flight
toward a point in the northern heavens,
at a speed of about twelve miles per
second. "
Free us from the earth's attraction,
and we would dart away on a tangent
to its ciroumference; free us from the
sr.n's attraction and we would dart
away, much faster, on a tangent to the
earth's orbit. But even then we would
not be entirely free, for we would still
fly. with the momentum derived from
the "proper motion" of the system, in
the direction of the star Vega,
The resultant of all these motions, a
truly enormous force when reckoned in
potential horsepowers, slumbers unper
celved within our bodies; is it possible
that there is no reaction of any kind
affecting us? Would wo be in all re
spects the same if w dwelt or, a motion
less globa in a motionless universe?

Jack Dempsey to Fight
Joe Beckett in New Orleans
Mobile, Ala., Nov. 5. —Jack Demp
sey, world's heavyweight champion,
signed an agreement in Mobile yes
terday to fight Joe Beckett, the
English heavyweight champion, in
New Orleans March 17, according
to announcement here by Dominick
Tortorich, New Orleans fight pro
moter. The bout is conditional on
Beckett winning his forthcoming fight
with Georges Carpentier, the French
champion.
The bout will be for twenty
rounds, and Dempsey, Tortorich an
nounced, will receive $125,000 as his
share. The champion affixed his sig
nature to a contract after a confer
ence here yesterday between Jack
Kearns, his manager, and Tortorich.
The conference, it was said, was
brief, and Dempsey quickly assented
to the conditions and purse follow
ing the agreement between Kearns
and the promoter.
Beckett will meet Carpentier in
December. Tortorich said that
should Carpentier win he would in
struct fits representative in London
to attempt to sign a contract im
mediately for the French champion
to meet Dempsey.
Legalize Finish Fights
in Sonora, Mexico, Region
Bisboe, Ariz., Nov. s.—Tentative
plans for forty-flve-round prize
fights across the line at Naco, So

moters who recently held a confer
ence with Cordivla Florencio, chief
of police, and Judge Ricardo Mor
eno, of the Mexican town.
Under a recent ruling of Governor
Huerta, Cananea and Naco are
placed in the same district, and
Klorcncio is in a position to govern
this section in all unimportant af
fairs that do not interfere with leg
islation of the State. The latter re
cently gave local promoters full au
thority to stage prize fights of any
length provided the sport was kept
clean.
Construction of an arena in the
old bull ring will be started imme

YORK HAS CRAZE
OLD-TIME SPORT
Eddie Hooper Visits the City;
Gets Fans Enthused Over
Prospects
York, Ta., Nov. s.—There is a
movement on foot in this city to
place York in a professional baseball
league x of Class B standing. Such a
project, with a successful conclusion
would till the cup of joy of York's
baseball fans, so nearly all of the
local fans would be in hearty ac
cord with a league ciub representing
York.
The plan, which had its inception
recently by a visit to York of one
of the former local diamond stars, is
to place this city in the proposed
league, such as was enjoyed in the
halcyon days before the war. It is
the idea of the league promoters to
organize a six or eight-club league
of Pennsylvania cities. So far the
sentiment in Ilarrisburg, Lancaster,
Reading and Allentown is in favor of
such a proposition, and the league
originators cannot see why York
should be left out in the cold, when
neighboring cities are in a league.
Kildlc Iloopcr Looms l T p
Eddie Hooper, a former member
of several York Tri-State teams, and
who last season played in the Vir
ginia league, was in this city re
cently and spoke to several local
business men on the project, and
these men are in favor of having
York represented in such a league.
Hooper's plan is this: The local
baseball fans should organize an as
sociation with a capital of SIO,OOO.
To do this it would require 100 York
fans to put in SIOO each and this
capital would be the foundation of
securing players and grounds. Eddie
also said that he would come to
this city and lend all the assistance
that he can in helping to organize
the association and also take out
$1 ,000 worth of stock in the York
association himself. x

SYRACUSE ELEVEN HANDS
RUTGERS ONE HARD JOLT; .
ACKLEY S4K£S HIS TEAM
New York, Nov. s.—Displaying a
hard-striking, versatile attack, Syra
cuse crushed Rutgers by the score
of 14 to 0 here yesterday afternoon,
scoring touchdowns in each of the
last two periods, the lirst through a
forward pass and the latter on two
long end runs.
For one half Rutgers played un
usually good footbull, and kept its
opponents at bay. Syracuse several
times marched within scoring dis
tance, but never consummated the
drive by scoring. Ackley, of Syra
cuse, twice endeavored placement
goals from midfield, but liis
location was extremely poor.
Ackley, however, probably saved
his team from being scored upon, for
on one occasion Baker, Rutgers'
quarterback, intercepted a forward
pass and with a clear field ahead,
sprinted desperately. He was finally
overtaken and thrown by Ackley,
this being the only time Rutgers was
really threatened.
Play during these periods was con
fined almost entirely between the
two 25-yard lines, both teams hold
ing well against the ordinary line
rushes and end runs. In the third
period Syracuse uncovered a puzz
ling overhead attack which quickly
scored when Abbott's lateral pass to
Ackley was in turn thrown 35 yards
L Guardia Defeats

New York, Nov. s.—Complete re

Democratic incumbent, bby 1,383
votes. An official recount will be ask
ed for in Mr. Moran's behalf.
The vote was: La Guardia, 403,051;
Moran, 401,688; James O'Nell, Social
ist, 126,365.
Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany
lender refused to admit early to-day
that Moran had been defeated. Sam

York county Republican Committee
was equully positive that La Guar
dia had won by a small margin.
He attributed the candidate's success
largely to his record as an aviator
during the war.
Tammany lost all three contests
for seats on the Supreme Court
bench in the first and second judicial
districts. Justice Joseph F. New

COMISKEY PLANS
TRAINING HOTEL
Believes Permanent Camp Is
Long Desired Necessityj
(o Come in 1921
Clticugo, Nov. 6.—The next spring
training camp picked for the
Sox is likely to be a permanent one,
because President Comiskey has In
mind an innovation which will end
a lot of his own troubles and those
of other baseball club owners.
The Old Roman plans as soon as he
can locate a spot, climatically and
otherwise adapted to good results in
spring faining. to provide his own
hotel and commissary equipment and
to become independent of local con
ditions except as to weather.
After many years of experience,
Comiskey believes the only way to
train a baseball team is to find a
suitable place, then erect on the, ball
park a dormitory and a dining room
for the players, supplemented by a
kitchen and corps of servants, head
ed by a competent chef, sufficient to
cure for the comforts and stomachs
of the athletes in a manner, suit
able to them and to their man
ager.
Plan for 11121
Comiskey's scheme will not be put
into effect this coming spring, bo
cause he will not pick a permanent
camp until he has tried it out. Where
the White Sox will do their condition
ing next March is undecided. Promi
nent among the cities bidding for the
team next spring are Lake Charles,
La. and Khreveport, La., Houston and
Brownsville. Tex., and Petersburg,
Va. Another Texas town. Waxa
huehie, may be in the field shortly
unless the Cincinnati club owners
decide to send the Reds back there,
next spring. The Ohio club has first
claim on Waxahachie, but if Manager
Moran decides not to return there
the White Sox have second call.
President Comiskey will take his
time in selecting a camp and wilt
send a representative to look things
over carefully before making liis
choice, then if weather conditions
prove satisfactory he will inaugurate
in the spring of 1921 his plans for
providing hotel and eating accommo
dations for the players under his own
auspices.
