sale of the property occurring before
April 1. Do pennant winners pay
At the recent dinner given to Hans
Wagner by the Stove League in Pitts
burgh, Hughie jennings, manager OF
Detroit, paid a high tribute to the old
Pirate shortstop. Said Jennings:
"He has built an unseen monument
that will live forever to hold the wor-
ship of, the boys. The character of
Hans Wagner, while his name was in
front of the entire nation, was such
as to earn only the greatest COM
mendation. For more than twenty
years Hans occupied the crest, but
his true spirit of humility tempered
his every act. The tremendous power
he has Influenced in the lives OF
Young America will never be known,
but the truth is being brought near
er home in these strenuous days
when our manhood is being tested
with splendid results"
"Ill fight Fulton as soon as they
want me to and for the best purse
offered" declared Heavyweight
Champion Jess Willard. July
Fourth would suit me. Well see
who's champion. One thing, neither
Fulton nor anybody else is going to
lick me yet, and when I'm too old to
fight I'll retire and they won't ever
get me out again. I never tried to
hit anybody as hard as 1 could yet
but wait I can hit if l want to.
l always was afraid of hurting some
body. The only man ] ever fought
and didn't care how hard | hit him
was Johnson. | let my right go once
in that fight, and it was a knockout.
You can say for me Fulton isn't go
ing to win"

Football Training Is
Drawback to Soldiers

London, March 5.-American col
lege athletes will find something to
think about in this. A prominent
Glasgow medical man who has just
returned from professional visit to
the front in France says that pro-
fessional football players are not
wanted in the trenches and explains
that this is so because their endur-
ance is less than one-third of that
of the ordinary soldier taken from
the desk or the farm or the shop.
He attributes this to the fact that
they have been so long turned to
the highest pitch to take part in the
game. In addition, their nerves are
so acute that they cannot stand gum
fire as can the ordinary man. The
doctor says 1T is like linking up u
race horse with an artillery team.

CENTRAL FACES
| HARDEST WEEK
Meets Tech Tossers Thurs
day Night In Games on
Chestnut Street Floor

Central is facing her hardest and
most important week of the sched-
ule. What the Blue and Gray does
this week determines the standing
IN the league. A victory over Tech
on Thursday and one over Lebanon
saturday will greatly improve Cen
trals chances in the pennant race.
SO far this years team has made
a creditable showing and is in fourth
place in the Central Pennsylvania
League. Allentown was the first
game played this year and resulted
in a victory for Central. Lebanon
was CentraPs next opponent and
Central won that game. On January
20 the first game of the season was
lost to Steelton at Steelton, on Feb
ruary 8, York defeated. Central in
a close game.
Central Wins at York
Central got revenge ana beat York
on her own floor 30-2, on Febru-
ary 21. Washington's Birthday was
celebrated in a pleasing manner by
Central walloping Reading high,
6O-2S. Last Friday night Central
went to Reading and was defeated
by the Dutch. Saturday the Allen
town team scored their first victory
of the year by defeating the local
five at Allentown.
There are four more games to be
played this year and three of them
are on Chestnut street floor. This
Thursday Central and Tech will clash
for the first time this year. This
game will undoubtedly be very close
and interesting. On Saturday Cen
trail goes to Lebanon.
On March is, Steelton comes TO
Chestnut Street, March % will close
the season. That night Central and
Tech will meet for the last TIME on
a basketball floor.

LansdOwne Sees Advance
in Address of Hertling;
Approves U. S. Principles

London, March 5.--1n the view of
the Marquis of Lansdowne, express
ed in a letter to the Daily Tele-
graph, the recent speech of Chan
cellor Won Hertling marks a per-
ceptible advance in peace discus
sions. Lord Lansdowne thinks it all
the more remarkable because the
speech may be regarded as kind
of a rejoinder to the depressing an
nouncement recently made-some of
us think rather gratuitously-by the
Versailles conference"
Lord Lansdowne notes that the
German Chancellor regarded the
speech made by Viscount Milner on
February 81 as more conciliatory
than that made recently by Walter
Ruuciman, former president of the
board of trade, and Lansdowne
seems by implication, to agree with
Count Won Hertling.
Four points of Won Hertling's S
speech are selected by Lord Lans-
downe for comment. First is the
Chancellor's wish for an intimate
meeting of the belligerents. Lord
Lansdowne interprets this to mean
a small informal meeting, not of
plenipotentiaries but of persons au-
thoriZed to discuss confldentially the
possibility of a more formal confer
encc. He refers approvingly to the
opinion of Foreign Secretary Balfour
that it would be unwise to begin ne
gotiations unless some preliminary
agreement eXistS and asks how such
preliminary agreement is to be
reached without preliminary CONVEX
sations.
Lord Lansdowne asks whether any
n
be settled while the war is raging,
and whether anything more can now
he done than to lay down principles
upon which the peace congress would
deal with these matters. He raises
the question whether improvement
can be made upon the principles
which President Wilson has pro-
posed which both sides apparently
are not indisposed to accept.

make complete plans for the clean
up. Commissioner Lynch of the
highway department, volunteered to
furnish the forces to clean up all
ashes which have been dumped in
streets
1t was decided that owners of pri-
vate lots on which refuse had been
dumped would be held responsible
and should see that no more waste
was emptied there.
When Commissioner Hassler called
Councils attention to the bids which
have not been acted upon, Mayor
Keister asked what plans had been
made for the general cleanup which
had been decided upon. Commits
sioner Lynch offered the services of
tho highway forces to clean up the
streets, but told the commission
ers he would probably be compelled
to ask for more funds at the end of
the year because of the expense of
the work. He also urged the coun-
cilmen to make a general clean
up and then notify the householders
for the removal of waste themselves.
The plan was not favored by the
other members.
To Hire Trucks
Commissioner Burtnett then SUBJ
mitted q proposal that the city could
hire trucks at $40 each a day, and
six men at SO each for each truck;
or a cost of $3.50 a day; $4,750 for
twenty-five days or one month. lie
suggested a cleanup now, another
in April and again in October, No
vember and December.
A general discussion followed,
Commissioner Hassier expressing
doubt as to the work which could
be accomplished by a truck force.
Just as an attempt was made to ad-
journ Mayor Keister intervened and
submitted his motion.
City Treasurer G. +. Weber sub
mitted his monthly report to-day,
showing a balance in the treasury of
$199, ,465.SS. Receipts last month
were SS2,0O4.94, and expenditures
$52,013.72.
Ordinance Passed
An ordinance was introduced au-
thorizing Commissioner Lynch to
purchase a new automobile for his
department Mt a cost of $2,10O;
changing salary Of chief inspector
of garbage bureau from $4,000 to
$1,000.
Ordinances which were passed
finally provide for the following:

Porr, of Steelton, took a big jump
during the past week by scoring 90
points against York and Tech. AS
a result he landed in sixth place.
Coleman lost ground through the
transaction. Gingrich's average re-
NAMED stationary during the last

of the week was the victory credlted
