BOXING PROMOTERS
PLAN ORGANIZATION
All Fighters Must Defend Title
Once Every Six Months;
Change in Weights

Cleveland. Ohio, Aug. 24.-Organ-
ization of the boxing game is the plan
of the National Boxing Association,
which adjourned here yesterday after
a two-day deliberation. 1t is pro-
posed to bring boxing up to a standard
that will permit no taking and bring
boxing laws in every State.
It was also decided to recommend a
new set of ring weights to be acted
upon by the board of governors of the
new association. AS this board is
made up of one man from each club,
it is thought they will be adopted.
The new set would make the ban
tamweiEht figure at 11s; feather, 125;
lightweight. 135; welterweight, 14T.
and middleweight, $50. The light
heavyweight will be 175.
With a view to enlisting the sup
port of New York ring promoters, 1t
was decided to send a delegation to
the Gibbons Mcfarland fight, Septem-
ber II. and talk 1t over with the big
fellows.
An election of officers was held and
these members were chosen: Matt j.
Hirkel. Cleveland, president; Gene
Melady. of Omaha, secretary-treas-
urer, and Harry Edwards, Philadel-
phia, vice. president.

Harrisburg baseball fans are happy
again for the star catcher of the In
dians, Michael Vincent Heckinger,
has resumed his place behind the bat
after an absence of over a week on
account of a split finger.
Heckinger is rated as the best
catcher in the International League
and Harrisburg fans will agree with
the dopesters as Mike has been going
at a splendid clip and his hitting has
helped to bring many game to Eddie
Zinmerman's men. Heck's smile and
his constant urging will win a pitcher
to just go along in the way the big
catcher desires and he is enabled to
get the best work out of the twirlers
by his steady persistence.
Heckinger was born in Chicago In
1890 and has never been able to get
away from the Windy City as an abid-
ing place. He attended st. Ignatius
College at Chicago and caught for a
crack nine of the college. In 1910 he
had his first professional baseball ex-
perience with the Des Moines, Iowa
and the Fort Wayne, Ind, clubs. In
1911 he played with the famous
Logan Square Club of Chicago when
Jimmy Callahan was manager. In
1912 he went to the Racine, Wis,
club and was bought by the Chicago
Nationals. During the 1913 season
Heckinger figured in a deal which
sent him to Brooklyn in the National
League and in 1914 he was with
Newark. This year finds him with
Harrisburg and rated as the Inter
nationals best and the most likely of
the backstops to go into the big
show" Several club scouts have
been in Harrisburg watching Heck
inger's work and if he is not pur-
chased within a few days he is almost
sure to be drafted by an American or
National League club.
Heckinger is interested with his
father in a large Office and bank
equipment store in Chicago.

GERMAN DIRIGIBLE'
AN ADVERTISING SCHEME

Petersburg Va. June 25.--The
great German dirigible containing
two aviatofs and seen through tele-
scopes and field glasses by many peo-
pie and discovered particularly by the
Petersburg Index-Appeal and given
additional prominence by the Rich
mond Evening Journal has come to
earth. In utter destruction 1t has
been found and others of the same
type, its companions, have been seen
flying over Petersburg. No one was
killed,
No one is frightened, except the
two enterprising dailies mentioned
above. Everybody else knows thai
the dirigibles were and are perfectly
harmless. They were sent up by a
real estate firm at Hopewell as ad-
vertisements for some OF those thous-
and dollars an acre lots bought for a
few cents before Hopewell was more
than a railway station.
From little aeorns big oaks grow,
and from paper ballons sprout Ger
man dirigibles.
