There is some talk of removing
the Central Pennsylvania College
from New Berlin. New Berlin is
a very prettyplace for college, but
is SO far from a railroad that the
college authorities feel that it would
be better for the institution if il
were nearer toa railroad. Altoona
has made bid for the institution.
A very large place would be objec-
tionable for an institution onaccount
ofthe many things in city that
would attract young men from their
studies. Middlcburg would be an
ideal place for an institution of this
character and the board of trade
should bestir themselves and endea-
vor to secure the institution.

CHAMPION OF GERMANY.
Clarence Hobart Disposes
Of All the European
Cracks.

Hombutg, Aug. 21.-Most of the finals
in the international lawn tennis tourna-
ment here were played today, and were
witnessed by the largest crowd of specta-
tors that has ever gathered at the courts.
Among the prominent persons present
was the Duke of Cambridge. A feature of
the days contest was the extraordinary
brilliant play of Clarence Hobart, the
American competitor who defeated A, w.
Gore in the final for the championship Of
Germany by TO, 6-3, 60.
In the final for the gentlemens doubles
the brothers Doherty defeated Hobart and
Black by "a, rs, 10.
In the finals for the ladies champion
ship of Germany, Miss Cooper beat the
Countess Won Schlenburg by rs, "a.
In the final for the championship of
Europe, Doherty gave I'll. S. Mahoney a
walkover.
The tournament was concluded today
before brilliant gathering, Hobart con-
tinuing his victorious career. After de-
feating Gore today, he beat Mahoney the
holder of the championship of Germany in
1898, three sets to two, the score being S.,
80 12-10, 6-8, So. Hobart won after
the most brilliant match seen on the
Homburg courts, especially in the third
love set, completely smothering Mahoney.

said he was glad to see such fine game
again so popular.

ToDAYs GAME.
The Fans Have Great Expectations in
the Rochester-Worcester Contest.

The Fans Have Great Expectations in
the Observation-Disclosures Contest.
The ball game for which the fans
have been waiting for weeks will take
place at the oval today. The Worces-
tiers and Rochesters, unquestionably
the strongest teams in the league, and
holders Of first and second places, will
meet
Additional interest is lent the coming
contest by the reputation the Roches-
tiers have made for themselves in the
circuit and the possibility of a mix-up
among the players. The Rochesters
were favorites in this city for a consid-
erable portion of the season but the
last series has reduced them in the
estimation of the fans. They went a
little beyond bounds and Doescher put
the screws on which not only pleased
the crowd but turned them against Ro-,
chester.
Since then Rochester has dropped
several degrees on account of the fight
at Rochester between McQuaid and
O'Hagan in which the Worcesters
maintain O'Hagan was entirely to
blame. Without knowing anything
about it except what they heard from
a partisan standpoint, the fans of this
| city accepted the version as told by
the Worcesters. 1t would be only nat
ural, for O'Hagan has shown a disposi-
ton to incite a quarrel while McQuaid
never did.
The fans expect fun in today's game.
The Rochesters are hard losers and are
! showing a yellow streak since their
trimming by Providence. Klobedanz
will go against them today and base
! ball enthusiasts expect to see Worces-
ter beat the Rowdes. A defeat from
Worcester means double the cost of
defeat from any other team and every
body expects the Rowdies will take it
with poorer grace than from any other
club. With uncomfortable players like
i O'Hagan and Burke practically means
rowdyism, and fans expect, if any is
shown, the Worcester players will fol-
! low the example of Providence men and
! give the Rochesters all that is coming
to them. Such is the expectations of
the fans and there are many who are
i praying the expectations will be realiz-
i ed.
4 Manager Buckenberger was seen
heading toward the police station last
evening, but whether he went to OBJ
tain police protection in today's game
or not is not known. Manager Leon
ard evidently expects something unus-
ual may occur for he made requisi-
ton at police headquarters last evening
for an Increased detail at today's game.
The Rowdies are determined to take
i today's game. Billy Lush will risk
his sprained ankle, and will play if he
4 can. He intends to start in anyway.
i Becker will pitch If Klobedanz does.
Manager Buckenberger said last eve
i ming either Becker or Bowen would
u pitch. His choice would depend on the
y man Worcester put in the box. If
Klobedanz was the pitcher used, the
Rochesters determined to use Becker SO
that Worcester would have left hand
err to bat against the same as Roches-
} ter.

Toledo. O., Aug. M.-Mayor Jones to-
day began work on Letter announcins

Concerning his candidacy, Mayors
Jones says: II shall announce myself
as a candidate tomorrow do not in
tend to wait for the nomination by the
democratic convention or any other po-
litical party. I shall be a non-partisan
candidate rather than an. independents.
L shall run on a platform Of principles
such as have been advocating for sew
eral years, and I want to be the candi-
date of all the people rather than OF
any political party
SIT is for this reason that have de-
clined the advances from the union re-
form party, and I intend to follow out
my own lines 1t is now likely that
there will be many other candidates on
the ticket with me. A change in meth
DDS of politics and government is need
ed, and that is what am working for.

CONFERENCE TO-DAY.
Plans for Athletic Tournament viii Be
Discussed.

Philip w. Johnston, president of ST.
Anne's Athletic Association, will hold
a conference today with Frank H. Big
Glow, regarding the plan of the latter
for an athletic tournament which will
include three match races between
members of st. Anne's Society and 81.
PauPs Lyceum.
That is but portion of the plan that
Mr.. Bigelow has formed. He also in
tends to have open races, and is con-
fident he can bring several of the col
lege athletes, who competed in Eng
land, to the contests. The proposition
does not strike st. Anne's men favor
ably, and the result of the conference
may be the abandonment Of the plan.
