C., Steelton. The advance sale of seats indicates a record crowd. Unusual interest is manifested in all the bouts, not only in this city and Steelton. but in Philadelphia and other cities. With the many disappointments reported by fight promoters, fans are sometimes rather dubious about newcomers. Thus far Manager Joe Barrett has had few setbacks. What disappointments have been handed out at Steelton could not be blamed on his management. Until there is a boxing commission In Pennsylvania the general public be lieves the fight game is one of chance, and the only way to make good with the public is to Playfalr. According to fight gossip Manager Barrett has made good. Local fan will vouch for this and are a big part of the audiences that go to Steelton every two weeks. Tonight s bill while not made u P strangers include several nng bo) about whom very little know n here. However, they all bave been showing records and it looks like program of thrillers. Gill Meets Scott Johnny Gill is scheduledto gotcn rounds with Cyclone Scott, npw 01 Philadelphia, but according to re ports is better known about Boston. His manager, Joe Conroy, saj weighs 154 pounds. A forfeit lias been posted by Manager tonroy to have Scott show 158 poundsl by 6 o'clock this evening. Tie KJ-ssj: not appear to be worrying Gill as he claims he has difficulty in land ing opponents and must tak heavier men or not do any fighting.

He lias fought 6 8 battles and was never knocked off his feet. That is quite a record when vou consider the boys he has fought". The following is a list of sonic this clever battler has met. "Billy Kramer, ten rounds, l "itt ling Kopin six rounds, K. O. Lougn lin eight rounds, Marty Cross eight rounds, Jimmy Tighe ten rounds Frank Carbone ten rounds, Steve Latzo ten rounds. Kid Slieeler eight rounds, Joe Egan twelve rounds. Young Fisher twelve rounds, K.O. Brennan ten rounds: and he has boxed a ten round draw with JacK Britton and a six and ten round flrnw with Tod Kid T^ewis. "So you can imagine what chance Johnny Gill will have with this boy. If Scott does not stop Gill inside of ten rounds, he will Rbe him one of the best boxing lessors he ever re ceived in his life. A few of the wise ones thought Scott could not make the weight but I am not worrying nbout my forfeit now." A letter from J. E. Cain, manager for Paddy Sylvester follows. His boy fights Joe Carson of Lancaster. Manager Cain says: "I am writing you a few lines to inform the many friends of Paddy- Sylvester in and around Hari'sburg that Paddy is now back in his old time form, and is going to box Joe Carson at Steelton Monday night, at Joe Barrett's Olympia Club.

MONDAY EVENING, The fans of Harrlsburg no doubt will remember Paddy, having boxed several times in Harrlsburg and was a great favorite there before the war. "On one occasion it will be re membered Paddy gave Tim Droney a fine lacing, and at the present time is boxing better and hitting harder than he did then, and I am sure there is a treat in store for those who will see him perform Monday night. "Paddy is hot on the trail of Billy Angelo, of York, and he feels that a victory Monday night over Carson will entitle him to a match with the hard hitting youth from York." Freddie Erne sends thts: "I am writing you in reference to the boys who T am bringing to Steelton Monday evening to box at Joe Barrett's Olympia A. C. I want to let the Harrisburg fans know that the boys I have are all high class boys and I expect to be the winner in each bout. "For the first bout I have a very promising youngster in Joe Strosser, he joined my forces several months ago, and he has shown wonderful improvement, and he is going to make any boy his weight step to win. "Eddie Billman, who boxes Young Lehmer of Harrisburg, is another promising boy. He hits like an army mule can kick/ so I think someone is going to kiss the canvas. Eddie Murray, who boxes Willie Lanford, is a good colored boy and he will show Langford an interest ing time. "Joe Carson, who boxes Paddy Sylvester of Philadelphia, is of championship material, and before this season is over, you will hear of him boxing the best In the world. I know that Sylvester is a tough nut, but the harder they come the harder they are going to hit the floor. I want to win this bout, as Joe Barrett has promised a bout with Billy Angelo, so you can look for a win for Joe Carson." Strosser meets Young Hildc hrandt. The latter's brother will go up against Young Zimmerman of Hershey.

Notwithstanding that it was announced positively that Tom Dunleavy and Jack Lawrence would be in the line-up. neither of these stars appeared. The team that played under the name of St. Eliza beth performed like novices. The locals won, score 52 to 16. The local management was sore, hut it was a ease of "take your medi cine." In the first place th# team did not reach Harrisburg Until late. While it was true that train delays were many, it was understood that the Quaker City aggregation could have left Philadelphia on an earlier train. All Harrlsburg Once the game stnrted it was all Harrisburg. Vashmnn, looked upon as a star, was off in his work, in fact many spectators accused him of loaf ing. The fact that St. Elizabeth made only two field goals, and that Gallagher made only 12 out of 23 goals, is proof of the poor work by visitors. Eddie Wallower was the big star for the Independents, caging seven field goals. He was in the game from start to finish and had several long shots to his credit. He was used rather roughly several times by op ponent players. Kline and Moore head were busy shooting goals and Gordcs was the foul shooter In th< absence of Ike McCord. He made 12 out of 17. Gordon Ford was always on hand when needed and helped in rolling up the big score.

Baseball in 1920 Will Be Conducted on Pre-War Basis "Plans for professional baseball in 1920 call for a return to tlie condi tions under which the sport was con ducted in pre-war limes. Before the 1919 season many economic reforms were decided upon, these resulting in a curtailed season, smaller salaries and a reduction of expenses all along the line. The popularity of the sport has satisfied the club owners that they should operate along more lib eral lines and as a result they have lengthened both the training season and the regular schedule, and salaries are expected to improve. Minor league officials have increased the player limits and salary limits which were in vogue since the war cast its blight on the sport, and many new minor leagues, forced out in 1917, will come back to the fold. A return of the game to its former popularity is freely predicted."—New York Times.

Right Handcrs Lead in National League Hifiing Chicago, Dec. 22.—1n the National | League last season there were 172 ! players who took part in fifteen or more championship games and so ! worked their way into the official | averages. Of these 114, or almost J exactly two-thirds, were regular j right-hand hitters. Forty-seven, or ! less than one-third, were left-hand i hitters, while only eleven "turned around," or hit from either side of the plate, according to the sort of pitching they were facing. That is only about 6 per cent., or three players out of fifty have found it.
