sylvania's relay carnival to be held on
April 2S and 29 will be more repre-
sentative than ever this season. The
entries have just closed and they
show that practically the entire United
States will be represented in this meet.
review of the entries shows that
every eastern and western intercol-
legiate champion now in college will
be seen here on relay day. Simpson,
of Missouri, is counted on to win the
hurdles. Butler, of Dubuque College,
and Smith, of Michigan, are out for
the sprint, while Muclls, of Wisconsin
is slated to make a killing in the shot
and discus. Chicago looks like the
dark horse in the one-mile relay. In
Dismond Stagg has one of the great
est quarter-milers in the country.
His other men are good and they
will be up at the end of the third
quarter. With a chance of seeing
Dismond, of Chicago; Wilcox or
Bingham, of Harvard; Moore. of
Princeton, and Meredith of Pennsyl-
vania, all close together at the start of
the final quarter, the crowd will have
in prospect one of the greatest races
of the year.

record team to retain the champion
ship so wonderfully won by Lock-
wood, Kaufman, Lipincott and Mere
dith last year.

Preparation For Game

signal practice this afternoon in prep
aration for the game with Reading
High tomorrow night. The second

BATTLESHIP FUND
PASSES $4,000
Over 100000 Persons Have
Subscribed Amounts From
10 Gents to $500
From one dime to 10000.

From one dime to 10000.
From one girl to. 100000 of her
countrymen.
That, in brief, is the story of the
growth of an idea in the short space of
seven weeks.
Marjorie Sterrett, a 13-year- old
Brooklyn schoolgirl, wrote a letter to
The Tribune, inclosing a dime to help
build battleship for Uncle Sam The
Tribune printed the letter on Febru-
airy A. Since that time sixty
papers between Boston and Sacra-
mento told The Tribune by wire how
Marjorie's idea had aroused their read
ers to do something definite for the
defense of the nation. More than
twenty-five others have given notice
that they intend to cooperate in this
patriotic cause.
Meantime, Congress has taken note
of a movement which was calling the
peoples attention to the defenseless
condition of the country Representa-
tive William S. Bennett, of New York,
introduced a resolution into the House
on March instructing the Secretary
of the Navy to accept the Marjorie
Sterrett fund and such accumulations
as might be added thereto, designed to
assist the government in safeguarding
the national peace, as an inspiration to
patriotism on the part of the youth of
the country.
100000 Persons Power
81 believe" he said, that any citi-
zen who wishes to give money to the
government for a lawful purpose
should be allowed to do so. There is
something back of the dimes of these
children that mere money cannot buy
sentiment, love of country-and that
is why l am with Mariorie's plan"
The vital fact is that most of the
100. 900 are children, future citizens of
the country, on whose shoulders it's de-
Tense will rest in coming years. A
child gave the call, and her school
mates from coast to coast have begun
to respond. The response has really
only just begun.
NIariorie's Father Speaks @
Several motion picture concerns
have offered inducements to Marjorie
to take up career with them, but the
little girl has fatty refused them She
is more interested in her school work
than acting in the movies, and / am
glad II is so. Neither Marjorie's mother
nor myself would consent to her an

directly concerned with the Battleship
Fund and for its sole benefit
We will gladly lend our little girl to
the cause of Americanism and patriot
ism. but we will not consent to have
her patriotism commercialized. Neither
she nor We have received one cent
either directly or indirectly through

WAR AT READING
BOOSTS BASEBALL
Four Leagues Promise Lively
Sessions; Leo Groom Is
Active in Fight

Reading, Pa, April 3. - Baseball
fans are enthusiastic over the pros
poets of q baseball war in that city.
They predict big season for the win
ner in the battle between the Pennsyl-
vania State League and AL Lawson's
Atlantic League.
There has never been a baseball
season about to open when Reading
fans have faced q battery of so many
organized leagues as are lining up for
the 1916 campaign. It now seems
apparent that each organization is
acting In good faith and will be ready
10 start the season around the first
week in May. The Pennsylvania State
and the Atlantic Leagues, two minor
organizations, are both going ahead
with their plans and in addition to
these two the City League jumped
into the arena last week Still there
is talk of an Industrial League
among some of the city's leading in
dustrial plants and scholastic
league patterned after the Central
Pennsylvania High School League,
which is just closing successful ball
season.
High School League
II the High School League is to be
go, Harrisburg, Lancaster, Norris
town, Pottsville, Pottstown, Lebanon
and other cities will join to make it
eight clubs.
The promoters of the Atlantic and
the Pennsylvania State leagues figure
that the more amateur leagues there
are in the city, the more interest will
he taken in baseball, and both AL w.
Lawson and Leo Groome, who are
looking after the minor league prelim-
inaries here, are hopeful for big sea-
son.
The pick of Readings professional
and semiprofessional ball players are
in great demand with the leagues
which are being formed, and while
some few have signed contracts to go
out of town the majority will accept
the contracts which are being tend
cred right at home.
