BUSY NIGHT FOR
CITY LEAGUERS
Methodist and West End Fives
Fight For Third Place
Tonight

The City Amateur League teams
will get into action again this evening
on the Technical high school gym
nasium, when the West End Athletic
Club quintet will clash with the Meth
odist Club combination and the Young
Mems Hebrew Association five will
meet the P. r. r. Arrow team.
While neither of these two games
will have any bearing on the standing
of the leaders, both will be hard
played. The teams in the league have
been improving with each game play
ed and all four of the quintets on
the schedule tonight will put their
best personnel on the floor in order
to annex the contest.
Fight For Third Place
The Methodist and West End club
fives will work especially hard to win
as these two teams are tied for third
place in the league standing. The
winner will land that berth tonight.
The Arrows and the Y. NJ. II. A. teams
will play the opening contest, which
will start at o'clock.
Eleven more games remain to be
played in the league, which is sched-
uled to close on March %. The Rose
woods have virtually clinched the
Championship, although the Galahad
five is close and still has a chance to
get into the lead.
Each of these two teams have three
games yet to be played
Kline, the sure shot forward of
the Rosewood five has retained his
high scoring average and still leads
the league, with an average of 1910
points per game. He dropped q few
points during the past week but still
leads by a good margin. Gebhard. of
the Galahad five is the nearest man
with an average of 1883. Boss, Y. NJ.
II. A.; Holland. West End and Title,
Rosewood are the other three players
who have been playing a consistent
game.

confidence returned and he tore into
tho Philadelphia entry and made
things look dark for Terry.
Dundee's ring generalship. good
throughout the bout, simply bewildcr-
ed Terry in the later rounds. and this
helped great deal in his downfall
To prove that Dundee is as great a
favorite in Philadelphia as ever, his
many friends in the Wildrose Social
Club presented him with hand
some silver loving cup just before the
battle started. Johnny was greatly
overcome, and it was a minute or SO
before he found his bearings.

Toronto franchise will be transferred
to Syracuse next year.
Manager George Cockill was sched-
uled for visit to Harrisburg to-day.
He will arrange for a meeting of the
League at Hotel Columbus on Thurs
day, March 10.
Bill Killifer has signed his contract
to play with the Phillies and leaves
to-day for the South with his team
mates. He denies that he had a
strike contract agreement with Alex
ander, but simply held out for what
he throught was a just contract
No more enthusiastic workers can
be found than Pennsylvania railroad
athletes. When they are not working

the athletes can be found at the gym

WEEEYSE CORNER.

Harrisburg fight fans would like to
see real ring battle. where a purse
is offered. OF course it would be inn
possible to pull off a twenty-round
fight here. Ten-round battles have
been a part of previous programs.
One between Al Doty and frankie
Mcguire might prove a moneymaker
in this city.
Dave Callahan outfielder who play
ed with Scranton last season is holding
out on his contract He does not want
to play with the Farrell League this
season. Callahan believes that he
ought to be in the big game. He has
been flirting with the International for
sometime.
Syracuse hackers want to get away
from the New York State League.

nant, Saturday, March II. Lebanon
has only two more games to play, one
at York and the other here. The lead
ers should have little trouble in wal
Ioping York, and If the dope runs true
to form, Reading and Lebanon will
be deadlocked for first place when
the rivals fight it out for the cham
pionship on the home court.
Lebanon Beats Reading
Lebanon beat Reading on the for
mer's floor at the beginning of the
season. This was the only game
Reading lost this year. Lebanon has
a dandy club. Its chief performer is
Moore, forward. He has been scoring
on an average of eight goals a game
at Lebanon. The result of the battle
will hinge on the outcome of the
Moore-Dietrich tiff" and Reading
rooters are confident that the husky
local guard will stop the Lebanon
wizard.

old in the last three rounds. over

Terry McGovern, of this city, in six
slashing rounds at the Olympia A. A..

His opponent. the youthful Phila-
delphia sensation, got away to a good
start, and the fans sitting at the ring
side saw visions of Johnny stretched
out on the canvas once more, but they
were fooled.
In the first four rounds McGovorn
accumulated slight lead. but start

about CAMEL Cigarettes
In an effort to injure the wonderful sale
OF CAMEL cigarettes, many unprincipled
schemes have been resorted to. The fol-
lowing is one of many ways such lies have
been put into circulation.
An1ndividual liar would approach group
OF men, produce newspaper, published in
distant city, and apparently become inter-
ested in reading Suddenly he would ex
claim, what do you think of this?" He
would then pretend to read an article about
CAMEL cigarettes. In reality, the paper
contained no such statement. The indi-
v1dual would at once walk away, CARRYING
the paper with him. A newspaper from
distant city was always used in an effort to
cover the tracks of the liar
Would anyone voluntarily do this kind
OF unprlncipled work? They must have
been paid by someone to do it, and all of
them should be exposed An honest man
will not knowingly work under the direc-
ton OF crooked superior, nor will an
honest superior knowingly tolerate
crooked employee. However, some sales
men have told the trade that they had in
their possession newspaper containing a
damaging article about CAMEL cigarettes.
This was malicious falsehood, as they had
no such newspaper, and when asked to
produce it, they were unable to do so.
CAMEL cigarettes are pure and delightful
and the most popular cigarettes ever sold at
any price. Cigarette smokers will not, for
any length OF time, permit malicious false
hoods to prejudice them against CAMELS.

claims Of Albertus Mccoy to the

Darcy, the gre"test foreign boxer who
set foot on American shores in
years Gibbons opines there isn't
visible obstacl of any size over which
he must ride t. put forth his claims
TO the worlds m.ddleweight crown
SO Michael announces himself as the
champion, and stands ready to defend
his claims.
IF the public demands that 1 de-
feat Mccoy, well and good says Mi
chael: will meet Mccoy any time,
and will be glad to meet him in
decision bout"
Interest Is Keen.
A middleweight championship
match would be welcome, despite
the fact that the country is at war,
and with Gibbons returned to the
east from a successful tour of the Pa
cific coast, interest in the middle
weights is coming back
The middleweight championship,
like the welterweisht title, has been
much moOted for several years, and
the pest way TO DTlllB the HlldulGN NJ
division back into favor is thru the
medium of a championship contest
that will be recognized by the boxing
fans turnout the country.
Jimmy Clabby may return to this
country soon. He recently won the
middleweirht title of Australia by de-
feating Tommy Uren in a twenty
round bout at Sydney, and if he should
return to America with the Australian
title in tow his coming would stimu-
ulate interest in the 160-pounders.
Gibbons Has Record.
Gibbons has met and defeated Clab-
by, McGoCrty, Christie Brown, Mona,
Mccoy and some of the heavier lads
in the class composed of Dillon, Lev
insky and Miske. Most of Michaels
bouts have been fought over the no
decision route, but he has generally
managed to get the popular verdict.
He also has a string of knockouts to
his credit which includes Young
Ahearn. Willie Lewis, Clarence Ferns,
Bob McAllister, Jim Perry, Vic Han
son and Freddie Hicks. His battles
with Clabby, McGoorty and Packy Nc
Farland failed to stir up the greatest
enthusiasm because they were no
decision affairs.
Mike would like to wipe out the idea
in some quarters that he is a battler
Of the dancing master variety who
cannot stand the eaff over the long
route. He wants a twenty-round bat
tie for the title and we cannot name
middleweight today who is better en-
titled to consideration.
Anyone who doubts Michaeis sin
Cerity can speak right up in meetin' .
Mike isn't kidding; he's in earnest.
