PICKS SOFT SPOT
FOR HIS DEFEAT
Jack White of Chicago. Hands
Decision 10 George Cheney;
Fight Is Fizzle
Special to The Telegraph

Baltimore, Md, oct. 27.-The fight
before the American Athletic Associa-
ton last night between Jack White, of
Chicago, and George Cheney. of Balti-
mere, proved a f1zzle. to the disgust
of the large crowd who had been led
to believe they were about to see
rafting bout.
If White did not know he was licked
before he went INTO the ring, he was
not long in finding out. Soon after the
boys had begun mixing inc the first
round White went down and stayed
there for count of nine. He got up
because the referee refused to count
the last number, but soon afterward
went down again and stayed there for
the full count.
Picks Soft Spot
The fight was scheduled for a fif,
teen-round bout. but it lasted Just
2 minutes and As seconds. 1t was evil
dent soon after the boys began spar
ring that Cheney was the Chicagoan's
master, but nobody expected so abrupt
a termination to the mill. 1t was q
swift wallop to the pit of the stomach
that caused White to decide he had
enough. There was a difference of
opinion among those present whether
the punch was hard enough to put
White out.
However, instead of dropping, he
seemed to pick out soft spot on the
canvas to fall down and let himself
down easily, looking up appealingly
into the face of the referee as he tolled
off the nine. Ulman waited, and
White slowly rose to his feet, only TO
so down after another wallop. This
time it was evident that he intended to
stay, and Ulman gave him the full
count,

BAN JOHNSON IS
SOUR ON GILMORE
Does Not Care What Federal
League President May Say;
Refuses Interview
Special 10 The Telegraph

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 27. - President
Ban Johnson, of the American League
said yesterday that nothing that Presi-
dent Gilmore of the Feds, could say
about him would ever bother him in
the slightest. Johnson was asked 20
comment on Gilmore's latest TRADE
against the American League president
which followed an interview, in which
Ban Johnson is quoted as saying that
Federal League losses and worries
caused the death of Robert B. Ward.
There is no reason why 1 should
notice the statements of Gilmore" said
Ban, but there are one or two things
which need to be cleared up. APP
perently Gilmore has a grudge against
me for refusing to meet him. l have
reasons for this, the most important
being that / do not consider him trust
worthy. We met once and that cured
me.
AT the time the Federal League
was being organized Gilmore's broth sr
Charles, who is friend of mine, came
to me and asked if / would not meet
him. 1 said that l had no interest in
the affairs of the Federal League, and
If his brother wanted to organize a
league he was at liberty to do so, so
far as l was concerned. He insisted,
however, and finally I agreed to meet
him at the Automobile Club, which /
did. We talked for about an hour,
and James Gilmore asked me to get
President Tener and Garry Hermann
into a conference.
''It was understood at the time that
our meeting and what we talked about
should be confidential, at least that
was Gilmore's wish. Some time after
he made our meeting public property.

THE FIGHTING SCRIBES
By Frederic ]. Haskin
[Continued from Editorial Page.l


are likely to figure prominently in any
action in which these men may ever
engage.
Will Be Mounted
Marching, maneuvering and drill
ground work will be incidental to this
target practice. Eventually the corre-
spondents squad will be mounted, for
1t is intended as a cavalry organiza-
ton. The greater part of the thirty
weeks will be spent in cavalry work.
Many of these men will be riding for
the first time. They are typical un-
trained men in this respect, and it is
with such that the Department wishes
to experiment. They must learn to
ride, to handle their horses, to
maneuver as a cavalry, to shoot a re-
volver, to endure hard cross-country
expeditions.
Besides all this. there are to be lee
lures on the science of war. They will
be most thorough and practical-the
principles of the war game boiled
down and taught to selected men in
the least possible time.
The government has never attempt
ed but one other experiment in the
rapid conversion of civilians into
military men that in any way COM
pares with that here being worked
out. Last summer, 1t issued permis-
sion to the commanders of the differ
ent military divisions of the nation to
cooperate with civilians in encamp-
ments inaugurated for the purpose of
giving. in short time, a complete in
stallment of military training. AS n
result of that permission, the Division
of the East assisted in an encamp-
ment at Plattshurg, that of the west
at San Francisco and that OF the north
at Fort Sheridan. General Funston.
OF the Division of the South, was kept
so busy with the Mexican situation
that he was unable to lend a hand in
that section.
1000 Men In Camp
These encampments were made np
mostly of business and professional
men. In the three camps there were
practically 1000 men who took the
work. Each paid his own expenses
and bore the gruelling work without
n murmur. This course was four
weeks long. One question that it is
hoped to settle by the present ex-
pertinent is whether a man will get
more benefit by giving all his time for
a short period or part of It for a long
time.
Whoever makes himself a part of
the soldering game for Uncle Sam is
sure to come in for lot of hard work.
The day of the rockies at the diff
ferent encampments for the first f1f-
teen days was about as follows: Twen-
ty minutes for setting up exercises be-
fore breakfast: an hour after break
fast for policing quarters, and three
hours of drill before dinner. An hour
OF rest followed dinner. and the les
sons in advanced cavalry, infantry.
artillery. signal work. map -makinc;
and sanitation were given. Retreat
and review came at 4;30, and then
supper. The daily lecture by regular
army experts came after supper.
The lectures were an important
feature of the camp. OF particular
Importance to any man were the talks
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-10-27

on camp sanitation and personal
hygiene-the rules of life for keep
ing the body in good condition. The
majority of the subjects were, how
ever, more strictly military.
At the outset, the drilling was with
no greater load than rifle and belt. 1t
was gradually increased, however,
until these recruits were carrying the
full regulation pack on their backs,
including half a shelter tent with pins
and pole, one blanket, a mess kit, extra
clothing, toilet articles. bayonet and
intrenching tools. This pack weighs
about thirty pounds but that weight
was developed by degrees.
Finally came the great hike which
lasted nine days and covered l1O
miles. In this volunteer training, the
War Department appreciates the vir-
tues of the Swiss system, which is
based largely upon the importance OF
teaching the recruit how to live COM
fortably in the open, and under con-
ditions such as he would need to face
in war time. This nine days in the
open, wading streams, floundering
through swamps, enduring rains,
sleeping in blankets, eating about a
camp fire, Stimulating war conditions,
digging trenches, executing various
maneuvers, was intended to give n
man the experience that would make
him forever at home in the open.
The department believes that the
men turned out from these camps
would be vastly valuable to il should
the great emergency come. 1t is likely
that greater numbers of encampments
will he held next summer. If the
present experiment of the correspon-
dents platoon is successful it may be
possible to arrange for considerable
numbers of men in different parts Of
the country to take such training
through the winter season. Thus
with the camps for the summer sea-
son, military training might be car
ried to enough men to make up c.
corps of considerable strength.
The widespread public interest in
national defense is we'll attested by
the fact that this training of citizen
scldiery has been carried on at the eX-
pense of the recruits, for there Is not
a cent in the treasury that is avail
able for such work.
Whenever an American spends both
his time and money on q project, YOU
may be sure he is in earnest. I'm
doubtedly. there are thousands upon
thousands of other Americans equally
as willing to study warfare, but who
cannot afford to pay their way.
There is chance that the next Con-
gress may appropriate money for this
work If such provision is made It
will be the beginning Of the strongest
kind of army for the United States
volunteer army of citizens who with
sensible patriotism have become train
ed in the routine of war, and who
stand ready to answer the call of their
country II it should ever need them.
Their Willingness TO serve, and their
fitness to do so If necessary, would
oubtedly be the best guarantee Of
their never being needed.

GREENSBURG WILL
BRING BIG CROWD
Players and Rooters Arrive
Here Friday; Tech Plans
. Reception For Visitors

GreensburG high will bring fifteen
players TO Harrisburg. Much import
ance is placed In this battle with Tech
by the western school. A number of
rooters will accompany the team to
this city. They will arrive Friday
evening. Tech students are making
big preparations to receive and enter
tain the visitors. The Greensburg
Tribune says:
"Greensburg High school eleven and
subs are practicing hard for the game
at Harrisburg next Saturday There
will be fifteen in the squad which will
leave here Friday for Harrisburg.
About seventy-two rooters have an
nounced their intention of accom-
panying the team and roofing for a
victory.
Harrisburg Tech has fairly good
team from the reports gained from
that end of the State. This will be
the first real hard contest for the team
and will be on a ground of foreign
foeman.
Most of the Greensburg eleven is
in good shape for the game. although
several of the men are nursing sore
spots. Hud Thomas was pretty rough
ly used last Saturday in the Latrobe
game, but the sturdy young player is
game to the core and stands up well
under the gaff.
Harrisburg Tech won from Will
Transport by 80 score, and Green's
burg will lineup against both of these
clever elevens within the next two
weeks"

IT was thought inadvisable to send
any of the players who went through
the Cornell game into the lineup, but
the regulars, with the exception of
Gilman. all were on the field in play
ing clothes and had a long drill on sig
nails and new plays. The lineup was
important. as it is that which doubt
less will go into the Princeton game
next week. Gamer at right tackle was
the only substitute. For several weeks
the coaches have been planning to use
Mosely Taylor at guard, but could not
DO so until they were sure that the
