Displaying more form than at any
time this season and with Beck and
Bud Lingle featuring, last night the
Technical High School five scored it's
second victory in history over the Cen
trail High School quintet. Tech led
at the final whistle by tally of SO
to "a.
The fray was witnessed by 1900
persons, every available seat in Chest
nut Street Auditorium being taken,
while many were forced to stand
School spirit ran high and the lusty
cheers of the students of both schools
shook the building. Tech students
were seated on the east side of the
auditorium and Central students on
the west, each sending defying yells
and cheers back and forth across the
floor.
Game Makes History
The contest, which is destined to
go down in the historic annals of the
two schools, was the first of series
for the scholastic championship of the
city. The next contest will be played
on March 80 and will be in charge
of the Technical management. last
nights game being in charge of Cen
tral.
AS the two teams appeared on the
floor they were given a rousing cheer
and after a short preliminary practice
the battle. which virtually meant life
or death to the students and players,
was on. Harris scored the first point
of the contest from the foul line a
minute after play had been started.
Captain Hilton, of Central, evened the
score in the same manner a little later.
Bud" Lingle. the freshman star of the
Tech team, drew first blood from the
field on bank shot from beneath the
basket after missing a hard shot from
the side of the cage.
Lingle Plays Brilliantly
1t was the superb work of Lingle
that figured greatly in a victory for
Tech. Time after time the freshman
star broke up passes for Central and
dribbled down the floor either to shoot
a goal or pass it to one of his tean-
mates. In the second period he
thrilled the large crowd when, after
securing the ball in a scrimmage under

Weather permitting amateur base
ball teams will get an early start this
season. Already negotiations are on
for games between Harrisburg teams
and Dauphin-Perry teams. The Keen
ers and West End will be popular
this year in preliminary contests.
Tech came out of the first game
with Central with credit. The next
game will bbe played March 80. Last
nights exhibition was one of the best
seen in scholastic circles for a long
time. Interest was strong from start
to finish. Games like that of last
night make the sport popular.
The big crowd in attendance at last
nights game is sufficient reason for
Tech management to arrange for the
next game in the same place. The
Armory would not accommodate
crowd like that of last night. 1t would
be doing the local fans . good turn
to play the second game at Chest

the Central goal, he dribbled the en-
tire length of the floor evading both
Frank and Fields, the Central guards,
and shooting a goal from hard
angle. His work on the whole was
of marked degree, as was the work
of Beck, another freshman. The latter
besides playing n strong defensive
game threw three goals from the field,
two of which were from the center of
the floor.
Hilton scored the first goal from the
field for Central, tieing the score at
) all. The score was again tied at
and s. Five minutes after the game
had been in progress the Technical
lads forged to the lead and held that
position throughout the remainder of
the game. On several occasions a
squirt by the Central team brought it
within two points of Tech, but the
necessary punch to even up the score
was lacking, due greatly to the strong
defensive work of Pollock and Beck.
The first pei iod ended with the score
II to 10, in favor of Tech.
For short time in the second half
the Central team made a rally and
came within striking distance, but
again lacked the necessary punch to
score. From this period the Tech
nical tossers took new lease on the
game and in the closing eight minutes
of the game scored almost at will.
Central Weak From Foul Line
Hilton and Frank were both weak
in foul shooting, which kept Centrars
score down. Harris, on the other
hand, located the basket with clock
like precision and missed but few
chances. Players on both teams missed
many tries at the basket, the ball roll
ing around the rim and then out.
Technical took 40 chances at the
basket, scoring IL, while Central took
3S. scoring 8.
Prior to the varsity contest the Cen
trail and Technical Reserve squads
gave a fine exhibition of the cage art.
The Tech lads came out at the long
end of 40 to 81 score. This contest
was as hard fought and as full of ac-
ton as the first. During the opening
minutes of play it appeared as though
it would be a victory for the Central
lads, but the Tech five soon recovered
and forged into the lead. In the final
five minutes the latter team scored at
will. The summaries:

Secretary Baker Takes Out Ini- tiaI Misunderstanding Con- tinues All Day Friday and
 Throughout Night.
Long List of Numbers Given in Order as Drawn, From Which Those Who Will Be Called to Serve In First Army Will Be
 Selected.

Washington, July 21.-The drawing for the big United States army was not completed until early Saturday morning. The drawing began at 9 :45 Friday morning, and continued throughout the day and night. Alto- gether 10500 numbers were drawn from the big fish bowl. It was officially stated that the first 1000 numbers drawn represented more than 1.OOO.- GOO men, and 1t Is not considered probable that men representing any number drawn after the first 2.OOO will be called before any exemption board for the first army. The first eight numbers were drawn respective ly by Secretary of War Baker, Senator Chamberlain of the senate military committee, Congressman Dent of the house military committed, Senator Warren and Representative Kahn, ranking minority members of the sen ate and house military committees 1; Maj. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, acting chief of staff of the army; Maj. Gen. tnoch Crowder, provost marshal of ihe army; and Major General Mccain, adjutant general of the army. After the first eight numbers had been drawn the regular tellers took hold, and worked through until the long task was completed.
 In only small number of the larg- est districts will the numbers above a few thousand affect registrants. Of the 4,557 registration districts throughout the country the largest has something over 10,200 numbers, while the smallest has only about 1855, and the average Is about 5000. As the drawing proceeded, 157 numbers were withdrawn before one low enough to afrect the smallest district came out. It was 126, placing 4,557 men number ed l26 on their local lists as 157th in order of liability.
 The following list shows the num- bers In the order in which they were drawn. The first number In each case represents the order in which the sec ond, or red-ink registry, number was taken from the bowl. Four numbers are given in each line. Beginning with the first number, which was drawn by Secretary Baker.

OPENING UP OUR RESOURCES WATER PORTS FOR INSTANCE.

The spur of war is destined to un- lock the enormous natural resources of the country, and the president him. self advocates it.
 Time was not so many years ago when it was deemed wise to prevent the spoilation-as it was called-of the natural resources by keeping them from public entry and preventing their use by responsible parties.
 To be sure, much of this feeling came in response to the reaction against manifest abuses practiced by interruptions men who sought to seize the public domain for their own sell fish purposes. Systematic muckrak- ing in the press and the energetic ac- tivities of conservation congressman finally forced the nation to the other extreme, so that in the last few years most of, our available horse- power went to waste and millions of feet of available lumber went un- touched and permitted to approach the stage of rottenness without contribut- ing to the use of the nation.
 With our resources strained to the utmost, it is evident that our outlook toward ultra-conservation has slightly changed. We still favor conserva- tion of our natural resources, but not their waste through non-use. Today it is just as wrong to cut trees down without planting new ones as ever before; but there is no wrong and much profit to our people in using available timber and planting new trees. This can be done scientifically --as has been done extensively in Europe-so that there need never be the, fear that we will run out o1 timber.
 The key to conservation is regula. tion; laws that are strictly enforced The president does not mean to waste our natural resources because of the war in which we are engaged, but te utilize them under strictest super vision.
 1 Under the governments plan no ont will be able to appropriate the ma tion's resources, but their benefits will be spread broadcast for all.

sTHE MOST EFFECTIVE ALLY OE
 THE HUN.'

We have it from no less an author ity than Association men" that the most effective ally of the Germans in this country stalks secretly among our ranks, and to circumvent it is one of the main objects of Y. M. c. A. war activities.
 This secret ally is venereal disease. The ravages of several disabling dis eases, the most serious of these being syphilis and gonorhea, are unfortu- nately known to all military leaders.
 This horrible enemy is being fought in the training camps of America, where prostitution and drunkenness is being made repugnant and feared.
 Here are a few words by Dr. Win field Scott Hall of Northwestern University:
 "In the first year of the war hun dreds of thousands of soldiers and sailors were retired for a short or long period from the trenches or from training because of venereal disease. If those hundreds of thousands could have been hurled, trained, equipped and munitioned, at the Teuton line the history of the war would have been vastly different. Who knows but it might have been won for freedom and democracy before now"
 And here are a few words from a young woman in Canada, in telling of the sorrow that was breaking her heart:
 My lieutenant went away year ago so stalwart, so well-trained, so fine. There were two or three months of intensive training behind the lines; then, the trenches. He came back a few weeks ago-a wreck. It wasn't a boche bullet that stopped him; it was an unspeakable, destroying disease of the blood. Of course, I can never marry him. Oh! If only he had died in action! Such death were hun dred times better for him and for all of us than this living death."
 It was the report of Dr. Max J. Ex- ner, after an investigation along the border, that led the United States war department to insist on clean camps and general cleanup of all cities near camps. Not only that, but "our

East st. Louis, H., May 31.-East
st. Louis is virtually under martha
law.
Five infantry companies OF the
Fourth Illinois regiment and one cav.
airy troop are p~atrolling the town and
plants where negroes are employed.
The second nisEr's rioting, which
resulted in the shooting of three white
men and two negroes, continued two
hours.
More than a score of blacks were
beaten or hit with thrown rocks or
clubs.
The rioters exchanged shots in a
number Of instances, but the arrival
Of troops prevented further trouble.
Lieutenant Commander Clayton,
commander of the troops, and Mayor
Mollman announced the situation was
under control and further rioting was
not feared.
When saloons, picture shows and
other gathering places closed at 6
p. m. by order of Mayor Mollman, the
crowds collected on downtown cor
ners.
Because there vas no disturbance in
this section the police did not dis.
perse the gatherings. The crowd then
began moving toward the negro sec.
ton in small groups, meeting later.
Two white men were shot down
when the mob of 200 formed in the
heart Of the black belt" The negroes
fired as soon as they saw the mob
rushing up the street in this district.
After severely beating several
blacks. the mob moved on to other
sections.
Soon after the mob's departure a me-
gro shack started to burn.
Oil soaked rags found in the build
ing indicated, according to firemen,
that an attempt had been made to fire
the shack. Five shacks were literally
torn apart, the mob destroying furni.
ture and breaking windows.
Citizens continue to protest against
importation of negro labor from the
South, which caused all the trouble.
