The unconfrmed report that the armi-

Thursday evening in Montpelier in spite
of Associated Press and other reports OF
denial About 4 o'clock i'll the afternoon

was kept up until about 7 o'clock, when
some OF the more joyful ones and well
advanced in age superintendent the colec-
ton of barrels, boxes and other wood in
the square at the head of State street
and big fire was started. About the
same time David Spicer and a company
of men commenced firing a cannon. The
| fire was kept burning until after mid
night. The only music aside from ut,
tie singing, was that furnished by Karl
Forsell on the cornet. Some fire crackers
were obtained and fired; blank cartridges
were literally used
About ii o'clock in the evening Mayor
Mitchell, while passing the bonfire, was
asked to address the company, which he
did In fitting words. Mayor Mitchell con
fined his words TO the celebration of the
taking of Sedan, the important defense
of Germany in eastern France. He told
what it means to our allies and then
spoke Of the fttingness Of celebration Of
that victory, making no allusion to the
unconfrmed report of the armistice ex-
cepting that probably in few days at
most, more important celebration could
be had and then would soon follow one
when the boys from Montpelier come
home. The origin of the rumor relative
to the armistice could not be traced in
Montpelier Some clsimed it originated
in the adiutant generals Office, which
was denied, for they received no tele.
gram; in fact, nothing from the war de-
Ipartment on the rumor. The only re-
port they received was one from st, Al
bans, which did not agree with those re-
eeived in Montpelier.

TEMPLE TEAM TO
PLAY HASSETTS
Gymnastic School Lads Want
Another Chance at Local
Independents

Local basketball fans will see a
fast cage team at work on next
Wednesday night. The famous Tenn
pie University team of Philadelphia
is scheduled to play the Hassett five.
The game will be played at Cathe-
dral Hall. This is the first time
Temple has played in Harrisburg.
The Temple girls team was here
two seasons ago and lost to Hassett
co-eds.
The Hassetts are anxious for an
other game with the Independents,
but want a fair consideration in ar
rangements. While it Is conceded
that the next game if played should
be on a floor selected by Hassett,
it is understood that the manage
ment of the Harrisburg Independ-
ents last night insisted on his terms,
and a purse of $500. Referring to
this, the Rev. T.. b. johnson, general
director of athletics for the Hassett
School of Gymnastics, said:
I'VE are an amateur team. The
Hassets are not out for the cash.
That would make us professionals.
A second game will be played, but
not according to terms offered last
night. / was unable to make any
definite arrangement, but if the In
dependent management desires to
be fair the Hassett team will meet
them on February %, we to select
the place and name the terms. If
the Hassett five wins, then it will
be tossup as to arrangements for
the third contest. We ask only
what is right in division of receipts,
and fifty-tifty arrangement regard
ing the rules to govern the game"

ACADEMY WORKS
FOR HARD GAME
Meet Central High Varsity
Five on Auditorium Floor
Friday Night

Central High varsity tossers will
go up against Harrisburg Academy
five Friday night at Chestnut Street
Auditorium. A good contest is ex-
pected. Neither team is sure of win
ming as both have won and lost two
games, including Centrals league
games only. Each team is working
hard. The Academy practice is much
interfered with by the preparation
for the coming Academy track meet,
but workouts are being held almost
daily.
Need Stronger Offensive Work
The offensive work of the Blue
and Gold needed polishing as many
poor passes had been made in for
mer games, but their defensive work
is excellent. The squad is showing
plenty of spirit and the attendance
at practice is very good. Scrim-
images are held daily and form the
greater part of the time taken up in
practice. Coach Gavin is much
pleased with the work of his charges
and has largely been responsible for
their success. He will probably re-
main as coach throughout the bas-
ketball season, though it was once
rumored he had given up his work.
The teams will probably line up as

ST. LOUIS MAY
GET YOUNG STARS
After Services of Former Blue
Ridge League Pacemakers;
Abandon Sunday Plans

Hagerstown, Md, Feb. 13.-Threa
former stars of the Blue Ridge
Baseball League, Johnny Bates,
Marvin Goodwin and Reggie Raw
lings, may wear uniforms of the st.
Louis Cardinals this season. Bates,
who was the heaviest hitter in the
circuit and made Martinsburg a ter
ror to the other teams, became
known as the home run king" of
the league.
Goodwin. one of the best pitchers
of the league last year, who recon-
mended Bates to st. Louis, is now in
training in an aviation school, while
Rawlings would in all probability be
in the big show this year if he had
not joined the colors. He is now in
the Quartermasters Department do
ing his bit" over in France.
The st. Louis club drafted Bates
last fall, but later cancelled it, fear
ing that he might be a draftee. Bates
so far has escaped and the chances
are that the Cards may purchase
him from Martinsburg.
Abandon Sunday Plans
Opposition to the plan to play
Sunday baseball here is spreading
so rapidly among the churches and
church organizations that all hope Of
it ever being realized, at least dur
ing the coming season, has been
abandoned. Five Sunday schools OF
the city and the Hagerstown Minis
terial Association so far have adopt
ed resolutions protesting against
Sunday ball.

1t was decided a few weeks ago to
take out the desks and substitute a
long table around which the presl-

of the board said they believe the
new plan will be a big help as it will
promote a spirit of informality which
will bring about helpful discussions

.HASSETTS. LOSE FIRST
GAME TO INDEPENDENTS;
GIVE FINE EXHIBITION

Judging from the caliber of bas-
ketball displayed in a game with the
Harrisburg Independents last night,
the Hassett club five is the fastest
amateur organization in the city.
The game last night was captured
by the Independents by a score of
so to AZ.
The Hassett boys did not play very
fast during the first period of the
contest and the Independents run
up the score. Supporters of the
Hassett Club were rather pessimistic
over the outcome of the game at
the close of the first half when the
Independents led the score by good
margin.
Hassett Shows Form
At the opening of the second half
the Hassett boys made an entirely
different appearance and played the
Independents off their feet. At the
first toss up of the ball in the sec
ond half, the Hassett stars got the
jump on their opponents and COM
pleteiy outclassed them during the
remainder of the contest. The con-

tenders for the championship looked
like a we'll l-balanced team. In fact
the team put up a much better game
against the Independents than some
of the famous aggregations that have
been here this season.
Huston, captain of the Tech team
played a sensational game, caging
three field goals and tossing 21 ot
% from the free line. All of Hus-

showing of the team. The score and

fetal the game to be played on
fifty-fifty basis.
What might be a good thing for
future contest like that of last night
would be to have a double referee
system. Use the National rule man
in the half his game is being played,
and reverse the officials in the Sec
ond half. The night of Friday, Feb
ruary %, would be q good time to
have the next contest.
National League officials were not
very active yesterday. but at to-
days session had a big calendar of
business to look after. The collec-'
tion of war tax at all games was up
for a lengthy discussion.
In a further effort to show their
patriotism. National League officials
yesterday cut salaries from the high
est-paid employe down. Even the
jumps get a reduction. The game is
to be kept going at a less cost. 1t
is the only way to assure success,
according to the opinion of owners
and managers. Save wherever pos
sible.

Duffy, of Buffalo, fought Johnny
Tillman, of Minneapolis, to a draw
in u fast 12-round bout last night.
Both fighters were in the trim of
condition and went right after each
other from the start of the gong.
There was very little clinching and
stalling, and enough fighting all the
time to please the most critical fan.
The Buffalo welterweight looked
soodto clean up the bout in the first
few rounds when he showed great
cleverness in blocking everything
that Tillman offered, and in the
meantime succeeded in landing some
telling blows. Tillman came back in
fine shape, however, and closed
fighting furiously. The draw decision
met with popular approval.

and 5 o'clock a loose wheel disabled

up traffic on the West Shore lines
with the exception of Enola and

from work in Lemoyne. Camp Hill
and New Cumberland were compelled
to walk. The system was tied up
for more than an hour. The second
halt in the service came about 10
o'clock. when a blower on one of
the boilers at the United Electric
plant broke down. This caused the
steam pressure to go down and no
electric power was generated for the
cars
