INTERSCHOLASTIC SEASON ENDS
WITH THIS WEEKS SCHEDULE
Central and Reading Tie Up Lead Thomas Is Big Star of
Season; Tee h TdilenderS

With the final game to be played
this week in the Central-Penn basket
ball league. Central High School will
end the season in first place, while
Coach McConnell's Tech High five will
occupy lust position. Tech plays at
Steelton next Friday night, but no
matter what the outcome, the teams
will finish with Central and Reading
tied for first place.
The Tech quintet has been a de-
cided disappointment. After getting
away to flying start, winning seven
out of its first ten contests, the Maroon
struck a losing streak February when
the team played at Reading. From
then until last Friday night. March rs,
when the team swamped Sunbury,
Captain Harris squad dropped eleven
straight.
Saturday night the team played at
Lancaster and held the Red Roses to
two field goals. but lost out, 81 to 10.
Seventeen of Lancasters points were
tailed from the 30-odd fouls called on
the local team. Tech scored FIVE field
goals and nine fouls.
Thomas Big Star
Bob" Thomas, a junior at Central
and star forward for the five, pulled
down individual honors in the league.
Here are some his stunts: High scorer
in field goals; high scorer in foul
goals; high total scorer; leading ath-
lete in average points per game; high
scorer in field goals in any one game
(tied with Killinger, IL each).
Thomas has participated in all of
the twelve league games and has
amassed 262 points from 4S field goals
and 166 fouls. This gives him an
average OF nearly % points for each
game.
Captain Rote shares honors with his
teammate in leading the scoring among
the defensive players. In nine games
Rote netted the ball 81 times. This
player, the best in the league. missed
the two Lebanon games and the first
contest at Reading.
The Central team has made the re-
markable record of scoring 4S1 points
an average of over 40 per game, dur
ing the season, and easily leads the

circuit and it looks like six towns.
The promoters of the Pennsylvania
League will meet at the Bellevue
Stratford hotel, Philadelphia, Thurs
day. This city will have three repre-
sentatives. 1t must be a show down
in black and white at this meeting. AS
yet no manager has signed a contract
but Abraham Rosenbluth and Leo
Groome, the New York representatives
of the million-dollar syndicate, claim
they need the assurance of grounds
in one more town to complete their
plans. Some are of the opinion that
it will be a case of either AL Lawson
or Pennsylvania selling out. Two
leagues are impossible.
I The first game between Central
high and Reading tossers will be play
ed in Reading tomorrow night. In
| terest in this game is strong. Reading
is expected to win because 1t will be on
the home floor the game will be play
ed. Central is picked to win the game
in this city April 4. 1t looks as If
there would be a battle royal about
April 10, for the Central Pennsylvania
championship. Central will be accom-
panied to Reading tomorrow by n
large crowd of rooters. 1t may be a
victory for the local quintet
Harrisburg fight fans will get an
other good boxing show Wednesday
night. Leo Houck always makes
good, no matter what the odds may
! be against him. In Jack Reck he has
hard man, but Houck has recently
been showing classy form and his
hackers says he is fast getting into
shape to make another try for middle
weight honors. The rest of the pro-
gram includes a number of interesting
bouts, as the men selected to box are
known as good boys. The seat sale

league. The 20 points scored Friday
night against Steelton were also high
water mark.
Readings Strong Defense
Readings defense remained the best
in the league, but 295 points being
made against the Dutch in IL games.
The only honor to come to Tech is
Killinger's record of II field goals in
one game. This mark was tied by
Thomas Friday night against Steelton.
The other leading scorers on each team
are as follows: Snyder Reading, 203
points in IL games; Greenawalt, York,
164 points in s games; Dayhoff Steel
ton, 1913 points in IL games; Harris,
Tech, 80 points in 8 games; Light,
Lebanon, 140 points in IL games;
Jones, Lancaster, 121 points in IL
games.
For the first time in the history of
basketball the high school champion
ship will be decided definitely. In
years past the seasons ended with
three or four teams laying claim to
premier honors The organization, of
the Central Pennsylvania League will
put an end to this annual bubble with
the playing off of the post-season
series between Central and Reading.
South Side High School. of Pitts
burGh. has issued a challenge to the
Central Pennsylvania winner for a
final game to decide the high school
championship of Pennsylvania.
Officials Made Good
Much of the success of the league s
first season may be attributed to the
officers of the league, who are the fol-
lowing: President, A. Leroy Lightner,
Reading; vice-president, e. E. Bill
heimer, York; secretary and treasurer,
B. W. Saul. Harrisburg. Singularly
enough, the teams represented by
these officers finished one, two, three
in the race.

NINETY PER CENT. OF AMERICAN
BOYS GO INTO BUSINESS

1--WE are a business race, we Amer
leans" says writer in the April Wo-
mans Home Companion, "nine-tenths
of our boys are destined for business;
and the other tenth, who enter pro-
fessions, need a knowledge of how
business is transacted even more. Par
ents who covet a clean-cut, successful
business career for their boy can do
him tremendous service by laying
the foundations of that career while
they have him still in their own hands.
1t was Cardinal Newman who said:
Give me a child until he is seven
years old. and l care not who has him
afterward.' And psychologists are
proving to us more conclusively every
day that the years we once considered
wasted, from an educational view
point, are the years in which most of
our habits, including business habits.
have their root"

WILLARD WINNER
in HARD BATTLE
Has Best of Moran After Third
Round; Big Pay For
Both Fighters
Special to the TELEGRAPH

New York, March 27. - Jess viii.
lard won from Frank Moran Saturday
night in fierce ten-round battle
Champion Willard was given the de-
cision on points, but those who wit
messed the battle. while giving Moran
credit for pluck, and ability to stand
punishment, admit that Willard was
the real fighter.
The fight went 10 rounds and for
seven rounds Willard fought with a
broken knuckle on his right hand,
using his left jabs. 1t was the general
belief that he could have put Moran
out had he so minded. Moran had
the best of the battle in the first three
rounds.
Moran After Knockout
Moran made plucky effort to win
by a knockout and made rally after
rally TO accomplish that result. Many
of his right-hand swings were either
short or were blocked by Willard or
landed across the champions neck or
top of his head. There were a num-
Der which landed flush on Willard S
jaw, but the latter simply smiled. The
blows. which were apparently shot
with full force, did not seem to feaze
the champion.
Willard used his left effectively all
through the bout. At the end of the
contest Tom Jones announced that
Willard had broken his right hand in
the third round. which was offered as
an excuse for the champion not end
ing the contest by a knockout
For his service Jess Willard re-
ceived the cosey sum of S52,600. For
the bout itself he was paid 1880,
and for his motion picture rights he
secured $500.
How many of us realize that this
sum represents what the average
fua "
years of endeavor?, The average
annual income of male bread
winners in this country is approx
mately $4,000.
1t is estimated that Willard will
make in the neighborhood of $780,
coo in 1916. 1t would take the av-
erage worker 135 years to accumu-
late a like amount. Moran's share
was equal to S791.66 per minute, or a
total of 23,749.S0.

OF Wormleysburg, one of the youngest
contributors to the Battleship Fund.
Since the wave OF popular approval
of the idea promulgated by a Brook
lyn schoolgirl for raising funds to
build an American dreadnaught first
flooded the offices of the New York
Tribune over six weeks ago with
dimes and other coins, we'll over ten
thousand dollars has been raised
through the efforts of public-spirited
newspapers all over the country that
have followed the Tribune's lead and
co-operated with the movement
In Harrisburg the fund compares
favorably with much larger cities.
The two hundred dollar mark has
been passed and the amounts that are
daily flowing in will bring the total
up to $500 in short order, if the aver
age continues. Like a forest fire the
sentiment is spreading and catching
in many other cities, until it begins to
look as though Marjorie Sterrett's idea
will really bear fruit.
Contributions to date are as fol-
lows:
