The Harrisburg Motive Power
Athletic Association last night staged
in it's arena at Seventh and Boyd
streets the first of a series of box
ing meets which are to ontinue all
winter, one every two weeks. The
opener had plenty of high lights
which vastly entertained a crowd of
perhaps five hundred; marked here
and there by one of the fair sex,
and this delegation showed its inter-
est with frequent applause. 1t
should be said for the Motive Club
folks that they staged as clean an
entertainment as one could wish for,
this being due largely to the execu-
tive ability of Referee Bobby CAL
houn, announcer and assistant ref
cree at the Olympic in Philadelphia
and Navy veteran who fought many
battle with bare knuckles. Mr..
Calhoun had that extreme caution
and diplomacy which goes with long
experience. For example, when he
introduced Tom McGarry, who is
ready ''to fight anybody" he identi-
fled him with "reputed brother of
Packy Mcfarland" Mr.. McGarry in
nowise resented the caution, but
smiled widely as he hoped back
over the ropes.
For six-cylinder, king row, box
ing this show would not have classed
with the Leonard Lewis fray recently
but it was long ways more stirring,
from the moment that two Harris
burg juveniles stepped Ito the ring
until E,..nmy Schiff, the local hero
with the left hand lead, was cheered
to an echo. 1t is worth knowing
that every lad who battled is en-
ployed at some regular job, part of
them here in town in various in
dustries. Schiff. himself. originally
a New Yorker, and now heralded as
possible champion in the feather
weight class, puts in his eight hours
per, and has mighty little time to
study boxing. This may be the rea-
son of his short coming last even
ing in the encounter with frankie
Clark. The latter, too, was not in
prime shape; for he had not had a
glove on in eight months. How
ever, this was the real spectacle OF
the evening and critics who follow
the game closely were greatly in
terested in Schiff's strategy. In some
ways he reminds one of Joe Choiyn-
ski, the Hebrew celebrity, who fought
with open guard, and was very hard
to beat. Schiff is a southpaw; con-
sequently leads with his left, and his
smart short jabs from the port side
finally began to confuse Clark sc
that if the battle had gone 10 or II
rounds the chances are Schiff would
have won on a knock out. In the
close of the sixth round Schif ap-
peared to be getting better control
of this wicked left thrust and one
of them caught Clark so fair that he
dropped to his knees and took six
on the count. This ending gave the
verdict to Schiff, and only one round
the second. could be said to have
shaded for Clark Both these lads
called forth loud cries of applause
from the absorbed spectators. Theil
work was sincere and speaking oi
this reminds that Schiff Is an un-
