ETS suppose you have room for rent,
There are several ways in which you

First, you can tell all of your friends.
And you can ask them to tell all of their
friends Maybe, if the telling keeps up
long enough and reaches fag enough,
somebody will eventually be found who
will come and take look at the room.
Or you can put little cardboard signs
in your downstairs windows, reading:
Groom For Rent" Hundreds of peo-
pie pass your house every day. Possibly
one out Of every hundred will see the
sign, and one out of every thousand
will be looking for room.
Both of these ways are inexpensive.
They're all right, too-that is, if you
don't care whether you rent that room
next week, or Christmas after next
Christmas,
But most people who have rooms for
rent want to rent them as quickly as
possible. How can you reach the peo-
pie who are looking, for rooms? Listen,

rent room, write little Want Ad and

they'll be looking for it, and-well, then

they write or call. -... -.

TECH TOSSERS TO
MEET STEELTON
Game Scheduled For Friday
Night on Local Floor;
Central Next

The Technical high school bas-
ketball team has two important con-
tests on its schedule for the two
next Friday nights, when 1t meets
Steelton this week, and Central the
Following Friday night.
The Maroon squad did the unex-
pected three weeks, ago. when they
Iourneyed to Steelton and won from
the Blue and White in an easy con-
test. But Tech will take no chances
when the two teams meet Friday
night, as the ability of the visiting
team is too we'll known, in the way
they fight back.
The Tech second team has a score
to even with the Steelton reserves.
In the game at Steelton, the Blue
and White won handily, and Coach
Miller is looking around for a reli-
able second string of players to pit
against the Steelton scrubs.
Ten Tech Victories
The Tech Varsity now has a rec
ord of 10 victories out of IL games
played. The two defeats were by
small margins. Coach Miller has
put team on the floor that has
made the best record a Tech team
was ever credited with. The Tech
student body is pulling for pen
nant in the Central Penn league, and
the way the team is going they will
be hard to stop. While the five reg
ulars are all in good form, Miller
and Smith are ready to go in and
fill breach at any time.
Tech has four more league games
to play, In addition to the Steelton
game Friday night are the two Cen
trail contests, and the trip to York
on the nineteenth of next month.
March Is and 16 Tech travels to
Tyrone and Altoona to meet those
teams. The contest with the Har-
Aademy tossers is still pend
ing. Tech won the first game on
the Academy floor 39 to 20. The
second Central game March 22 will
wind up the season, unless post-sea-
son contests are required to decide
the city or league championship.
In addition to the twobasketball
games Friday night with the Steel
ton aggregations, dancing will again
be in order. Dave" Mcconnell will
referee the first game, with Earl
Killinger calling the fouls in the sec
ond tilt. The preliminary game will
be staged at 7.30.

Hassett tossers and the many sup
porters of the gymnastic school are
making numerous inquiries as to the
delay in announcing plans for the
local championship series between
the Harrisburg Independents and
Hassetts. The following letter was
received to-day:
ITO the Sporting Editor of the Har-
risburg Telegraph:
Sir:
I'm a spirit of true sport 1 wish
TO give in the columns of your paper
the Hassett School of Gymnastics
side of the much boosted series of
games of basketball that were to
take place between the Independ-
ents of Harrisburg and the Hassetts.
In the first place the Hassett man
agement, before the last game and
on three occasions since, has at
tempted to arrange a series of games
on any equitable terms whatso-
ever with the Independents; every
effort failed despite the fact that the
public through the newspapers
seemed to wish these two teams to
meet.
1.-The Hassetts have played for the
past two years college schedule
that we feel gives them a place in
collegiate circles and a recognized
position as a basketball team in the
city of Harrisburg, consequently
they desire this series merely on the
line of true sportsmanship. The
Hassetts claim that they have de-
veloped the best team in the history
of its organization, and hereby lay
claim to the championship of the
city. Unless this championship claim
is disputed. we rest the merits of
our. contention with the public.
Reason For the. Series
In spirit of absolute fairness, I
wish to state here one of the reasons
for the Hassetts wishing to arrange
series. The game that was played
on February 18th was in no way a
championship game. In the first
place, the referee declared before
some of the players that his interests
were opposed diametrically to the
Hassett team, and with such a men
tality governing his decisions, it is
difficult to even imagine how the
Hassetts could have received an
equitable judgment throughout the
game. This is not only our view,
but we claim the view of fifty per.
cent of the spectators who witness
ed the contest.
Again, the Hassetts asked for

meeting will be held in Lebanon
tatives will be w. w. Lech, Harry
Bent and e. f. McEntee. Before
the league session plans will be dis
cussed at Steelton. The Lebanon
Daily News says:
Longer Season
1T is announced that the sched-
ule of the Bethlehem steel corpora
ton league to be completed at a
meeting of team representatives to
be held in the course of the next few
weeks at Bethlehem, will provide
double the number of games played
in 1917. The dope is to the effect
that each team will meet the other
four games instead OF two, the con-
tests being divided into two on
home and two on alien grounds.
"One of the most important steps
to be taken by the league in it's sec
ond season will be that of engaging
a regular staff of umpires. Last
years method of using arbitrators
from the league towns met. with
much satisfaction while the big
league jumps, who worked in the
deciding game at Steelton, gave
much satisfaction. 1t is likely that
the staff will be made up of extra
umpires fro mthe big leagues"
