Howard Berry's Status.

Today Howard Berry is Pennsyl-
vania University's greatest of heroes.
Berry went out and established a
new record In the pentathlon at the
big relay meet, that's why.
Only few months back, though,
Berry was jeered and derided for
refusing to take. orders from the
football coaches on Franklin Field.
When he offered to play with the
scrubs, he was not even permitted to
don his uniform and practice against
the varsity. which was one of the
worst elevens ever turned out by
the Quakers.
Berry WAS a great haIfback before
entering Pennsylvania. The coaches
endtsvored TO play him at quarter
back last fall and he did not shine.

several weeks and. suddenly in need

game, he was ordered into the line

the Quaker coaches.
he declined to play under such
conditions.
But that was In November. 1915. In
Arril, 1915, he has brought great
glory to the Red and Blue. From
being jeered. he is now being
cheered.

Merely Common Sense.

Matching Tommy Lowe with Mel
Coogan. instead OF with Freddie
Welsh. shows a streak OF common
sense in the authorities OF the Ard
ore Club.
Welsh wanted to come here with a
promise Of an exorbitant guarantee.
The club never could have collected
the amount of the guarantee, with
out considering payment to Lowe
and the other boxers on the card.
When you come to think OF II, no
champion Is entitled to n guarantee.
He should get just what he can draw
at the gate. II he IL a good attrac-
ton. the fans will turn out and a
fair percentage of the receipts should
be satisfactory.
Johnny Ertle, claimant of the ban
tamweight title. now that Williams
IL out OF the running. has been
turned down by a st. Louis Club.
Ertle wanted so much money that
the promoters could see only a heavy
loss coming to them.
No boxer Is worth a cent more than
he can attract. Welsh and Kllbane
have driven this argument home dur
ing the past two years.

Welsh's Retirement.

According to the DOPE, Freddie
Walsh, worlds lightweight cham
pion. figures on retiring on July 7.
Here's to him! May he not delay!
When Welsh defeated Willie
Ritchie In London on points after GO
ing twenty rounds. he came, right
back here and, proceeded to clean up
all the money In sight with node
cision affairs In which his various OPP
ponents were generally so tied UP by
contract as to be unable to win, ex-
cept by the kayo route. Freddie
didn't remain at home in England.
Indeed, he claimed to be a citizen
OF California.
Ever since winning his title, Welsh
has been a Joke as a champion. Not
once has he stepped into a ring to
20 twenty rounds to a decision. Not
once has he given an opponent a
chance at the championship, except
Ivy the knockout route.
il Willie Richie had used the same
tactics, Welsh would never have won
the crown.
So we're with you, Freddie, IL you
quilt. It's the best thing you've ever
done.

RAILROADS OPPOSING
TAX RtASSESSMtNT

Questioning the constitutionality OF
the tax bill, and strongly opposed to
the Collection of any further taxes for
1916. eight railroads yester day filed
demurrers to the proceedings CT the
city and State. applying for re-
assessment of 1916 taxes. 1t Is point
ed out in each of the railroad petit
tons that neither the city nor the
State made application for re-assess-
ment within the time specified by
law.
1t Is pointed out by the petition
ers that the law requires application
for a re-assessment to be made with
in thirty days after the certified copy
of the assessment has been filed. and
that this was not done, the certified
assessment having been filed more
than thirty days prior to the appli-
cation for the re-assessment 1t is
further stated in the petitions that
the application of the State for a re-
hearsal of the matter does not give
the grounds of complaint Along
with the demurrers comes the motion
to quash, on the ground that the State
officially and formally accepted the
assessments as first made.

The mother of little Maria Vir-

Gluck is one of the most popular
singers that ever appeared in Rich

Nine. Gluck will appear in Rich

The public is by now quite familiar

MAY MERGE WATER
AND GAS DEPARTING

Owing to demands for moro help
in the clerical departments. due to
increased work since the annexation
of additional territory. the Admins
trative Board yesterday instructed the
city attorney to draft an ordinance,
proposing to effect a consolidation of
the clerical forces of the city water
and gas departments. The heads OF
departments will not be affected,
however, the consolidation touching
only clerks and inspectors.
City Accountant Golfer. upon the
instruction of Chairman Hirschberg,
OF the board. has drawn up a plan
OF consolidation. which will in all
probability make the work OF both
departments easier and will not ne
cessitate an enlargement of the force.
Under the proposed new plan water
and gas bills will be made out month
ly instead OF quarterly, and both
items will be included in the same
bill Instead OF two squads of meter
readers, one for the water and one for
the gas. both will be consolidated. each
reader reporting for both gas and
water.
