GREAT FALLS URGED
FOR NATIONAL PARK
A. B. CastIeman Also Would
Include Palisades of Po-
tomac in Project.
CITES NEW WATER PLANS

local angle of national question
, namely, the possibility of the estab-
lishment OF national park near
Washington-was feature of this
mornings proceedings of the national
parks conference, which is holding
several sessions each day throughout
the week at the new National Museum.
Both Enos Mills, guide, author and
park enthusiast. and Herbert Quick of
the federal farm loan board yesterday
advocated the establishment of such a
tract somewhere between this city and
Baltimore. Today the idea was pur-
sued and amplified by A. B. Castleman
of this city, who thinks, however, that
the palisades of the Potomac and Great
Falls offer an unrivaled nucleus for
such a park.
Mr.. Castleman strongly recommend
ed that the project for new water
supply for the capital, which is ac-
knowledged as necessary a few years
hence, and for which army engineers
already have made tentative plans
should by all means include a park
feature.
Urges Riverside Park.
There should be a riverside park ex-
tending from the city to Great Falls on
both sides of the Potomac" he said.
II understand that the engineers con-
template an artificial lake extending
from Little Falls to Great Falls, by
which several thousand acres will be
submerged. The hoped-for park should
contain enough territory to embrace
this lake. tnasmuch as the latter would
be a wonderful feature of such a park.
and it should. of course, include the
Great Falls"
+ The speaker referred to the method
of creation of the Palisades Interstate
Park, whereby $2,500,000 was contrib
uted by wealthy men of New York and
New Jersey. provided each state gave
a like sum. He gave as his opinion
that similar procedure here would
offer a rare opportunity for great re-
suits from comparatively small phi
lanthropy. He quoted former Ambas-
sador Bryce saying that there is
nothing like the Potomac palisades in
proximity to any other American city
and referred to the advocacy of a park
on the Virginia side. at least, by Presi-
dent Taft.
Parks of Canada.
J. B. Harkin. commissioner of the
Dominion parks of Canada, who was
to have spoken Tuesday. addressed the
delegates today. telling them that there
is no conflict between the parks of the
two countries. but that the two sys-
TENS are mutually helpful in creating
and enlarging the taste for outdoor
life. He said the remarkable soldierly
qualities of the Canadian contingent
fighting abroad undoubtedly was due
largely to the outdoor life previously
led by majority of the members.
The mornings proceedings took the
form of a question box" in which va
rious phases of the parks movement
were discussed. Stephen H. Mather.
assistant to the Secretary of the Inte-
rior. in charge of national parks, and
Horace M. Albright of the same bu-
reau presided. Mr.. Mather told of the
projected highway along the shores of
Lake Mcdonald in Glacier Park. which |
will run to the Canadian boundary and |
will connect that tract with a Canadian |
park lying directly north.

LEONARD WINS FROM
IRISH PATSY CLINE

Philadelphia, Dec. 13.-Irish Patsy
Cline, of New York, gave Benny
Leonard, worlds lightweight cham
pion, thee hardest bout of his career
in this last night at the Olympia.
The bout went six rounds with Leon
ard the winner, but the latter had to
fight every second of the contest to
keep Cline from whipping over. one
of his haymakers. Cline surprised
Leonard at the manner in which he
forced the milling in the early
rounds. The challenger did not once
allow Leonard to get set, for every
time that the worlds champion start
ed his left working Cline either
ducked out of harms way or ran into
a clinch.
Leonards distance was wide of the
mark on divers occasions. Time and
again he started his left for Cline's
jaw, but the latter generally had his
right glove protecting that object
with the result that Leonard had to
depend upon his boxing skill and his
fast work in the clinches to carry
home the bacon.
With both boys being trained to
the minute, 1t was expected that the
contest would be of the sensational
order In the third, fifth and sixth
stanzas there was plenty of action,
but, owing to the close guarding of
both boys. neither appeared able to
connect with a clean punch, for 1T
generally happened that one or the
other was getting close in every time
a left lead was attempted or right
swing.
In the final round Leonard, as is
his usual wont, started out with the
evident intention of finishing Cline.

NAT WILLS BURIED

New York, Dec. 13.-Stage notables
crowded the church at Broadway and
Sixty-seventh streets yesterday when
the Rev. Nathan Eagle conducted
services for Nat NJ. Wills, who was
suffocated in the garage at his home
in Uniontown, N. j., last Sunday.
Friends and admirers of the vaude-
Vile comedian gathered until there
was no room in the church for a
single person more. The auditorium,
halls and stairways were jammed.
Henry Nichols, of st. Cecile Lodge
56S, conducted the Masonic services.
These were followed by the rites of
the Episcopal Church.
In the throng were managers, pro-
ducers, musicians, composers, vaude-
Vile, musical comedy and dramatic
actors, as we'll as many drawn from
the great public which Wills pleased.
Large delegations attended from the
Lambs, the Friars and the Green
Room Clubs. They went in special
conveyances to Woodlawn. where the
burial took place.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-12-13

It looked for time that Cline would
get his mug in front of Leonard S
famous left, especially as the world s
champion was forcing the fight. By
carefully guarding his face, coupled
with the fact that he held at every
opportunity in this session, Cline
managed to shake Leonard off to-
ward the closing minute besides
working his rights and lefts to
Leonard's body at short range.
Cline took considerable punishment
in. the last two rounds. He mixed it
often, but it was apparent that he
did not have much steam back of his
wallops, for they only seemed to
make Leonard fight all the faster. 1t
was at short range, however, where
Cline did his best work. Urged on
by his seconds to adopt this style of
fighting, he continually worked for
the body. Once he caught Leonard
on the beak in the fifth round, which
was the first time during the fight,
Cline having the satisfaction of cut
ting that object with his glove.
Leonard did the major part of the
forcing He tried several times to
coax Cline to stand up and box at
long range. The latter was not to
be caught mapping. however. for
every time that Leonard set himself
Cline beat him to the lead. While
Cline did not score decisively with
this line of attack, nevertheless he
prevented Leonard from whipping
over his left. while the few times
that Leonard did get in this punch
there was not much force behind it,
because of the elusive tactics of
Cline, who was generally backing
away when the punch was started.
