Further Pressure to Bear

Newspaper dispatches from Vienna
by way of Switzerland and Paris re-
port the renewal of active operations
by the Austrians against the Monte

clared to be marching along the Adri-

Recent dispatches have stated that the
seat of the Montenegrin government
had been established at Scutari.
The declaration in a Vienna dis
patch received to-day denying reports
that the peace negotiations between
Austria and Montenegro had been
broken off may be explained by the
fact that the dispatch was a belated

from the Montenegrin side continue
to indicate the contrary. A Paris mes

HARRISBURG MAY
GET FRANCHISE
IN N. Y. LEAGUE
Howard Earle, Representing
President Farrell, Confers
With Local Men
HACKERS TO CONFER
Lew Ritter Prime Mover in
Effort to Bring Ball
Team Here

Harrisburg will make a strong bid
for New York State League fran
chise.
Howard Earle, of Utica, n. Y, rep
resenting John II. Farrell, president of
the League. is here looking over con-
ditions. He met a number of busi-
nessmen to-day and will hold a con-
ference with probable hackers to-
night.
Lew Ritter, who has been a catcher
in the Utica team of the league for
several seasons is one of the prime
movers in the bringing of a club to
Harrisburg. Ritter's home is in this
city and he has the support of a num-
ber of friends who have expressed a
willingness to help him land a team.
The proposition favored. is to or
ganize and incorporate an association
to back the team, with a capitaliza-
ton of between $4,000 and $4,000.
The Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce, Rotary Club, Motor Club of
Harrisburg, and other local organiza-
tions will be asked to support the
movement in the interest of organized
baseball.
Mr.. Earle said that Reading would
like to get q franchise but the draw
back at present in that city is the lack
of grounds. Al Lawson has an option
on Lauer's Park until March 1. 1t is
said that Lew Ritter will attend the
league meeting next month and will
ascertain what Harrisburg will be eX-
pected to do in order to get fran
chse, in addition to raising sufficient
funds to back team. On his return
public meeting will be called and
efforts will be made to raise necessary
funds.
Harrisburg fans want baseball and
favor the New York State League
since the announcement that the In
ternational League will not continue a
team here.

dances of the times.
Hundreds of guests at the Charity
Ball accompanied the man with the
scythe on his unique trip.
All of which is to introduce the
story of the Pageant of Dancing which
helped make the Charity Ball in Chest

seous affair of its kind ever held in
Harrisburg.
