Three Real Leaders
For Tech High Sports

Technical high school has three
real leaders in William Fortna. Will
liam johnson and Glenn Beard, who
will manage the football team, the
gun club and the tennis squads. All
three lads are busy arranging sched-
ules for the Maroon teams. They
won out over a large field of candi-
dates.
Manager "Bin" Fortna is having
trouble to persuade a sufficient num-
ber of high school teams to oppose
Tech on the gridiron this coming
fall. AS result. it may be neces-
sary for him to fill the schedule with
contests against several preparatory
schools and college reserves. Tech
is finding it more difficult to arrange
series of games this year, than
ever before. With all the boys of
Harrisburg coming to Tech, the city
should have big winner.
Game Each Saturday
Efforts are being made to have a
game in Harrisburg every Saturday
with the exception of the contest at
Greensburg. This will mean that
Tech will have all but one of it's
games at home "Bill" is a college
prep student, who can play basket
ball, is a clever pitcher at baseball,
and his report cards show a goodly
number of AS"
Glenn Beard has been a big factor
in tennis since Tech adopted this
sport. He has always been one of
the mainstays of the team. Last
season, he was assistant manager of
the basketball team. This year he
managed the victorious Varsity bas-
ketball quintet. His popularity with
the student body is demonstrated by
the fact that he is the only Tech
lad ever to be given the honor OF
managing two Tech teams in one
year.
"Bill' Johnson will lead the Tech

ROSEWOOD A.C.
IN HILL LEAGUE
Plan Seven-Inning Games;
All Contests to Start
at $50 p. M.

The Rosewood Athletic Club with
Earl Killinger as manager, was given
n franchise in the Allison Hill Twi-
light League at the weekly meeting
last evening at the Hill freight sta
tion of the Reading railroad. The
admission of the Rosewood aggre-
cation will mean that the circuit Will
be composed of Rosewood, Galahad,
Reading and Hick-A-Thrifts. The
change indicates that the teams will
probably be more evenly balanced
than ever.
One of the big questions discuss
ed was the matter of arranging for
the finances of the league. Patrons
of the league who enjoy this sport
gratis will be asked to give their
financial support to the league as in
former years. Increased cost of
supplies will mean that the organi-
zation will need moro coin than
ever.
Seven-Inning Games
Games of seven innings duration
with the contests starting at ESQ
will be placed. In case of a tie at
the end of the seventh inning, the
tie-off will be played. The league
will open May G.

The new International League is
finding it difficult to get under sail.
1t may not be easy sailing after the
start is made. Players are not break
ing their necks to get berth in the
new organization.
Franchise owners in the New
York State League are trying to get
an explanation as to the right of j.
II. Farrell to head another baseball
organization. What about the New
York State League ownerships? Has
he rendered his resignation or secur-
ed permission to lead a new organi-
zation? There is loud cry over the
Farrell circuit to keep away from
the game this season.
A dispatch from Scranton says
that Bill Coughlin the veteran, is
going back to the baseball game. He
has sold out his business and is seek

INDIANA AND MICHIGAN STATE HAPPENINGS

America. The recent labor confer
ence which declared its confidence
i'm the government, is expected 70
have a salutary effect. An inter
mittent dockyard strike lasted for
two months due 10 the insistence Of
ship builders on riveting by hand in
stead OF by machinery. While the
situation is not acute, il is pOrten-
tious.
Roads built for military purposes
by the great Napoleon are holding
up wonderfully well in France. With
transportation problems pressing
them, there is no time now properly
10 prepare roads The main thor
oughfare back OF the lines and run
ming through France carries an aver
age Of 1000 trucks per day.
Italian Conditions Bad
Italian labor conditions are very
bad. Wages have been increased all
out Of proportion. Higher wages
seem to mean increased oonsump-
ton of foodstuffs and the squander-
ing Of money for trinkets. cheap
jevvelry and the like In addition.
abnormally high wages have sug-
gested more time for spending and
consequently reduced hours for
working. IN Genoa and Tourin. the
Iaborers literally are drunk with
prosperity" They receive six or
eight times more than ever before.
All these facts apply TO the more or
less skilled labOrer and the result is
naturally TO produce dissatisfa elton
and decentralization on the part Of
the unskilled laborer. Patriotic APP
peals thus far appear TO have been
in vain II seems therefore, in view
Of conditions existing abroad an ad-
diuonal responsibility devolves upon
the American laboring man TO re-
main at his task Unaffected either by
an increased earning power or the
usual temptations 10 idleness.
The United States government is
awake to the Importance of this sub
ject and exceedingly Jealous lest con-
ditions that have proved so trouble
some abroad are permitted 10 affect
her efficiency in war activity 1t is
generally conceded that this war is
divided into a battle of mechanics
and to the side demonstrating its
industrial superiority will come the
victory.

Notice that a motion for a change

murder case, in the circuit court Of
Gratiot county, in Ithaca, before
Judge Edward Monet yesterday
morning. The notice reserves the
right to argue the motion at some
future time. Ii is understood the de-
Tense will base its motion on the
lack of probability that a fair trial
can be given in Gratiot county be-
cause Of the wide publicity and in

Albert Eichorn. one of the de-
PENDANTS, was arraigned on charge
OF murder of Beatrice Epler Tues
day morning and stood mute. Judge
Monet ordered a plea Of not guilty
entered for him. The defense i'm
mediately made a motion for a con-
tinuance of the case over the term.
This was stoutly opposed by Pros.

ments continued through the morn
ing and took part of the after
noon
1t is possible in case the change
of venue is granted that Saginaw
