DANIELS SCORED
BY Navy LEAGUE
Secretary's Refusal to Permit Rear Ad-
miral Fiske to Read Paper Brings
Protest.
HOLDS TT A CIVILIANS RIGHT
Head OF Department Maintains That
Officers of Navy Should Not IniIu-
ence Legislation.

Washington, April IL - Secretary
Daniels refusal to permit Rear Ad-
miral Fiske to read paper before the
navy league convention here today
stirred up wave of denunCiation of
the secretary in the meeting and drew
Kisses from one part of the hall. The
admiral's paper previously published
in Naval Institute, an official publica
ton of the navy war college, was read
| by William Mather Lewis of Lake For
est, H., while the meeting cheered
roundly.
| Colonel Robert NJ. Thompson, presi-
dent of the league, read letter from
Secretary Daniels denying request
that the admiral read the paper, and
declared:
| Il desire to express my sorrow that
the navy department should take this
narrow view, so strongly in conflict
with that taken by the war department.
This question goes behind mere de-
partmental wish. 1t involves the con-
stitutiOnal right of free speech, that
an officer of so years service, &C
knowledged as one of the leaders of
his profession, should be denied the
right to say that two and two make
-four"
Henry Reuterdahl and William H.
StaytOn of New York attacked the sec
retary's position and Reuterdahl de-
Clared that wholesale gagging of navy
officers does not come originally from
the navy department but originally
from the White house"
Position Unchanged.
Secretary Daniels letter gave as a
reason for his position the attitude
taken by the department recently when
Admiral Fiske was not permitted to
speak to the Commercial club of Chi
CagO on naval affairs. Then the sec
rotary wrote that he thought it better
for civilians to lead the fight for en-
largement of the navy and for naval
officers to continue an unbroken policy
of not trying to influence legislation.

START WEDNESDAY
Six Clubs Ready For Opening
Contests; Roundup Session
in Reading Today

The roundup session of the Penn
sylvania State League was held al
Reading this afternoon. Harrisburg
was represented by Manager George
Cockill and Leo Groome the owner OF
the local franchise. President Will
liam r. Douglass went to Reading this
morning to attend a special ses-
sion of the schedule committee.
Failure to get grounds. in condi-
ton and the necessary backing al
Altoona and Johnstown, will result
in dropping these two towns. Fol-
the present the league will start with
six clubs-Harrisburg York, Lancas-
ter, Lebanon, Reading and Alien
town. A new schedule will be ap-
proved today.
The contract for grounds at Rit-
tersville, near Allentown were closed
yesterday and work started on the
erection of grandstand and bleachers
This will necessitate the playing OF
Allentown on the ground for two
weeks. Other towns are in good
shape and according to reports there
will be old-time celebrations in every
city on Wednesday,, May 10.
Five cities, each with enclosed
grounds will make application for ad-
mission. One of the cities is Coates
willie where grounds are in shape and
a team ready to start the season
President Douglass, however, would
like to show baseball fans high class
sport and for this reason two more
towns will not be added until later
1t is understood that conditions will
favor a change of the circuit later
on.

WELSH HAS WORST
OF FAST BATTLE
Williamsport Boy Puts 1t All
Over Lightweight Champion;
Other Bouts Pleasing

frankie MCGUIRE of Williamsport,
practically an obscure boy in the
lightweight class last night at Chest
nut street auditorium, put 1t all over
Freddie Welsh, the champion. Nc
Guire lacked the steam with his
punches at times His work was
highly. creditable considering that he
has not had any training from men
who know real fighters
Welsh was on the defensive most of
the time. The Williamsport lad used
an upper cut frequently and it wor-
ried the Englishman. Stiff jabs on
the face by Mcguire kept Welsh busy
using his covering up tactics, and his
famous pose with one hand over the
face and the other ready to ward off
the blows. The younugster forced the
fighting.
Mcguire lost his head several times
when he used the open rope tactics,
and had Welsh been faster there
might have been another story, how
ever, the glory, according to the gen.
eral opinion last night went to- Nc
Guire and Welsh was given a further
advance toward the has been class.
"eISn rays FOR StOInaCn
In the first round Welsh played for
his opponents stomach, but Mcguire
was cautious. Honors were even. The
second found the Williamsport boy
rushing the champion and landing
frequent blows on Welsh's face and
head. 1t was McGuire's round. The
third was also the latter's round be-
cause the youngster did all the fight
ing. The. fourth was even in honors
and the fifth slightly in favor of Nc
Guire. The latter was strong in the
final mix-up. Welsh weighed in at
141 pounds and Mcclure 13S pounds
The fight attracted a large crowd
and was the most expensive show
ever put on in Harrisburg. The pro-
moters, according to reports will have
local patrons an exhibition with a
real champion, and this proved sue
cessful.
The other bouts on the bill were
fast and interesting. frankie Erne,
the former Harrisburg boy, now a
physical director at Lancaster was
badly punished by AL Murphy of
Scranton. Charley Collins of Column
bia and julie Ritchey of Lancaster.
went six rounds to a draw in a bout
that was somewhat disappointing.
The sem i-windup between Johnny
Gill of York and Jimmy Conway of
Scranton was a good match. Gill
had the best of the battle in four
rounds. Conway was a heavier boy
and knew the game. One round was
even. In the opening bout Kid Smith
of Columbia went after Ben Rotten
house of Lancaster with fierce blows
and put the latter out in two minutes.
1t was a good fight while it lasted.

WELIYS 4 CORNER

frankie MCGUIRE, the Williamsport
boy, met his first champion last night,
and came out of the battle with hon
ors. Those who have studied the
fighting game for a long time are of
the opinion that Mcguire should have
the services of a physical instructor,
who will teach him how to gain more
strength. MCGUIRE appears to be
lacking in steam back of his punches.
Manager William ]. Mehring, Jr.,
of the Keystone Sporting Club made
good his promise in giving Harris
burg a battle with a real champion.
If reports are true last nights crowd
did not cover expenses.
Harrisburg's next boxing show will
be offered by the West End Republi-
can Club. The committee in charge
promises SO rounds of hard fighting at
Chestnut street auditorium next Mon
day night. The windup, a 10-round
contest between Jackie Clark of AL

the State. Clark won over Joe Bor-

slightly better in hitting than Crane.
The latter. in the opinion of Manager
Mack needs a little more seasoning.

not have all the material needed, and
hopes that to-day will bring a final
