Donovan. former twirling star Of the
Detroit Tigers and later manager of the
Providence International League Club,

told him that the club was his-and to
go to IT.
Donovan had little to say about his
plans. He stated he hadn't had time
to get acquainted with the situation
yet. He intimated that he would first
pb the clubs training place and
would then turn his attention to boil

I know-you will mourn him until
You have come to the dusk Of your stay
Aye, pal, am sure you will
But who weeps for Anson today?
When T. Raymond Cobb throws shoe
When Walsh comes to Fame's final spill
When all Of the masters you knew
Pass out from the whirl Of the mill
There will never be one who can fill
The gap each must leave on his way
Forget them? Who says that you will?
But who speaks Of Ewing today?
When Matty and Wagner are nil,
The glamour fades out from the fray
The drear shadow creeps to the sill
But who misses Radbourne today?

Knockout Brennan, Buffalo's best
middleweight, will, in all probability,
be the visiting attraction at the next
show of the Ardmore Club, going fif-
teen rounds with Gunner Selman, the
big sailor boxer, whose two quick
victories last winter made him solid
with the fight fans of the Capital.
Selman has been challenged by
Young Herman Miller, Baltimore's
coming star; Billy Maxwell, the
tough middleweight now making his
home in Philadelphia; Johnny How
ard, one Of Dan Morgan's stable of
regular performers, and Jack Twin
Sullivan, the veteran who has met
them all in the last seven or eight
years. However, the chances are
that Brennan will be obtained by the
club.
Selman wants to make 100 pounds
at 6 o'clock. Brennan, who has been
putting most Of his opponents away,
tips the beam around 152 and is,
therefore, bit slow to allow Sell
man to weigh SO much. The club is
now seeking to get these two lads
agreed on the weight question. If
Brennan still insists on Selman max
ing 158 pounds, a new card may be
signed up before the next show.
Selman Ia now in the field for bouts
with the best men to be obtained. His
manager, Kid Harris insists that the
Ardmore Club pass up the easy marks
and stage the gunner with men who
have made their reputation in the tistic
world. For this reason has Knockout
brennan been suggested, as his battles
Clabby. Frank Mantell. Al Mccoy, Sol
dier Bartfleld. Italian Joe Cans, and
George Chip show him to have the
class.
1t is expected that the next show at
the new clubhouse will be staged in
two weeks. possibly on the night of
January Is. The holiday card brought
out the largest throns Of fans ever
seen at Ardnore. and yet there were
plenty of seats available for more.

been accommodated. Taking advantage
Of experience, the club management ex-

SUFFRAGISTS SERVE LUNCH
TO VOLUNTEER WORKERS

The Motor Club of Harrisburg sent
its road building recruits to work on
the Trindle Springs road in Cumber-
land county this morning, which caused
howl from some members who reside
in Dauphin county, but Cumberland
county had the greatest call on the
Harrisburg club, for two scores of Me-
chanicsburg and Carlisle autoists are
members of the club.
Hummelstown motorists kicked and
wanted some of the roads in that sec.
tion cleared up and there was kick,
too, from Millersburg. The Motor Club
of Harrisburg has promised to take
these people into consideration next
year should Governor Brumbaugh de-
clare "Good Roads Day." as he will
more than likely do.
Autoists from Camp Hill, Mechan-
icsburg and Carlisle entered into the
road-building with vim and the club
was aided greatly by Cumberland
countians. Consequently the local
branch of the Pennsylvania Suffrage
Association, which promised to provide
luncheons, had little to do to-day in
this county, but dozen of the. local
suffragists signifed their willingness
