Select Steelton For
Thanksgiving Game;
Means Record Crowd

Steelton versus Tech win be the
Thanksgiving Day attraction on the
Island next November instead of the
classic Central-Tech clash. The two
elevens have come to terms and will
play the one contest for the season,
to take place on Thanksgiving. This
report from Tech will meet with the
hearty approval from sport followers
in this vicinity. While no one con-
test can entirely fill the gap caused
by the discontinuance of the former
big game, the next team in impor-
tance that Harrisburg enthusiasts
like to see in action is the Steelton
aggregation.
Manager Fortna is having diff
Guilty to completing his schedule. To
date, the eleven will go to Green's
burg the first Saturday of Novem-
ber. Lebanon, Lancaster and Mount
Carmel High schools will play here
in addition to Steelton. Mercersburg
Academy. Williamson Trade School,
Lebanon Valley scrubs, Dickinson
scrubG and other college elevens will
be added to the list of opponents.
With the turkey day game settled,
the next big matter of importance is
the selection of a coach. With Coach
Ryan somewhere in England. it is
hardly possible that he will be back
to assume that position which he so
ably filled last fall. He was credited

Ant Now Discredited
as Guide to Wisdom

StOcI<hOIni.-The ant has been
greatly overrated, in the opinion of
Rich Eye. a Swedish naturalist,
Solomon set the fashion with his ia
nous admonition to the sluggard.
and the ant has been living under
false pretenses ever since. For. as
matter of fact, she is a homeless
chucklehead, and to consider her
ways is no way to become wise.
Mark Twain arrived at this con-
clusion many years ago. and science
now joins hands with him in the per-
son of Mr.. Ege, who publishes the
results of series of experiments
with ants. He disposes first of the
insects supposes uncanny power to
recognize other tenants of it's own
anthill. Mr.. Ege washed ants in
ether. dipped them in LIQUID gained
by pressing a number of ants from
another hill. and put them back
among their own friends, who
promptly fell upon them and elected
them. He took ants fifty times larg-
er than the inhabitants of a certain
anthill. washed them and treated
them in liquid pressed from ants
of that hill, and then replaced them
in 1t. The Lilliputian insects did
not recognize the giants as invaders.
Mr.. Ege concludes, therefore, that
the supposed remarkably sharp rec
ognitional powers of the insects are
simply a matter of scent and inher-
tied refexes.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-04-25

with putting more fight into the team
than any other coach. Paul Smith is
the logical man for the position, and
his selection would meet with favor
at Tech. His successes at Central are
his recommendation. If he is avail
able, he will be the man for the po-
sition.
That Revenue Tax Again
Tech High school Is likely to lose
three cents on each admission to all
athletic contests played during the
past year, because of the drive that
the revenue Office is making upon
the treasurers of the high school
athletic associations. The decision
was interpreted by the two local high
schools and Steelton as exempting
the payment of the tax. The stand
was taken that the high school ath-
letic associations were considered a
part of a political division of the
state and that they would be ex-
empt.
Revenue officials take a different
viewpoint, and likely three cents will
have to be forfeited on all twenty
five cent admissions. 1t will mean a
payment of approximately $500 by
each of the three high schools.
Should the tax be enforced, the pub
lie will be asked next year to bear
the three cents extra, and pay
twenty eight cents instead.

PLAN BOXING AT
ATLANTIC CITY
Promoters May Lease Cur
tiss Airplane Plant For
Arena

Atlantic City, April 25.-Robert
Anderson, sports promoter. and Rob-
ert NJ. Johnston. a political lieuten-
ant and legislative offi;eholder un-
der the Enge regime. are leading
factors in plans for the incorpora-
tion of the Atlantic City Athletic
Club with $4,000 capital. to make
Atlantic City the pugilistlc capital
of the state.
John S. Smith. assistant sergeant
alarms of the Assembly 3nd CHAIR
man of Governor Edges new state
boxing commission. has sanctioned
the proposition. Smith yesterday
said fights will be on Atlantic City's
bill of fare not later than June 1
and perhaps sooner.
The club promoters are thinking
seriously of taking a lease upon the
plant of the Curtiss Airplane Com
pany at the Inlet, not far from the
old Inlet Park, where finish battles
were held in the open before 15,Oov
persons in the good old days. That
was before Jersey outlawed boxing
altogether The new law approved
by Governor Edge permits eight
round goes.
HOteImcn Not Favorable
Hotelmen are not enthusiastic
over the proposition. Some of them
yesterday said that pugilism is not
a war essential in Jersey. and that
anybody who wants to fight badly
should take gun and go over TO
France to fight for democracy. 1t
was suggested also that II the pro-
moters have $4,000 in real money TO
spare they should invest it in the
Liberty Loan and let Uncle sam do
the fighting.
In the event of determined oppo-
sition here from hotelmen and other
forces strong for the cleaner town
movement, the sports promoters may
buy ground and build fight casino
at Margate City. easily reached by
trolley, Chairman Smith, of the
state boxing commission, does not
believe that anyone will seriously
attempt to deprive Atlantic City or
a. lesalized sport. He said:
"The Federal Government has
placed the seal of its approval upon
boxing. Thousands of boys in the
cantonments are being encouraged to
take up the manly art upon the the
orv that it's acquisition VIII MAKE
them better fighters for democracy
The most conclusive indication OF the
Governments attitude Is the CONFER
ring of commissions upon instruc-
tors in pugilism."

man from the Chambersburg plant,
who had gone to the Maryland town
to help make repairs to the system
damaged by recent storms. Shreiner,
who was a son of the late John
Shreiner, for many years a district
foreman for the Western Union
Telegraph Company in Southern
Pennsylvania, was killed while at
work on top of a pole. The line
man lost his balance. In falling he
grasped a high-tension wire. Be-
fore rescuers could reach him his
clothing had ignited. Firemen who
were summoned extinguished the
flames, but not until nearly all of
Shreiner's clothing had been con-
sumed. The body was horribly
burned and one hand nearly cut
through. Shreiner was married and
lived at Chambersburg. His widow
and three children survive.

Wise leaders in football matters
Thanksgiving Day gridiron attrac-
ton at Island Park will be Tech
against Steelton. This is the one
and only thing to do. No better
means q big crowd and plenty of
interest.
While it will be some time before
those football warriors get started.
yet it is time to talk about some
things. Two college games are
promised. There is a third in sight
Gettysburg and Bucknell will meet
in their annual contest. The Car
Isle Indians will play here with
Lafayette in October and there is
some talk of Penn State alumni get
ting a game for Harrisburg. These
college games are good financial
propositions.
Major league teams switched yes
terday and there were more opening
features. Cold weather interfered
with the attendance. and it is not
fair to Judge future prospects at this
time. Thus far the crowds have
been small. While there is some
interest taken away from the game
at this time because of the war con-
ditions warmer weather will bring
out the fans.
Those Athletics are travelling some
these days. Connie Mack's pitchers
are doing great things. 1t may be
possible that early predictions of a
strong comeback for the Americans
in Philadel will come true.
Manager Mack is some bearcat in
pulling off surprises.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-04-25

Opening days featured yesterdays
games in major circuits. Interest was
strong considering the weather. The
work of the teams indicates some
close games in early season. One of
the big surprises is the work of the
pitchers. New York is running strong,
holding straight streak Of victories.
Philadelphia, April 25.-A. crash
ing drive in the direction of his home
by that eminent Tiogan, George
Burns, decided a brilliant pitching
duel between the Athletics and Bos-
ton Red SoX yesterday and enabled
the Mackmen to make an auspicious
1918 debut at Shibe Park. The ball
propelled by the Athletics new
guardian of the initial sack nestled
in the lap of a bleacher fan when
there were two men on bases in the
eighth inning and counted for all the
runs scored during the game, the
Mackmen winning by count of 3
TO 0.
The Inauguration of the American
League season in this city, which
proved such a distinct success, was
attended with some of the usual
opening days festivities, except that
the attendance was only about 5000.
Weather conditions, however. were
far from favorable and this undoubt-
edly affected the turnstile count.
Those who did attend, however, wit
messed a real ball game and no doubt
left Shibe Park convinced that Con-
ME Mack has at last nodded a team
that will play an important part in
this years pennant race.

A march across the field by the

was also a flock of presents toted to
the plate and presented to former
members of the Athletics. Joe Bush
received a diamond-studded Elks'
pin, Harry Davis making the speech.

edged the gift of a basket of flowers

forgotten. When the fleet outtielder
appeared at bat the first time he was
presented with a golf bag filled with
every necessary club and stick to
play the game. AS a matter of fact,
the Red SoX got everything but the
game and this was tucked away by

that he cannot field grounders with

to conform with the rule that pro-
hibits the use of a glove by thirG
baseman that weighs more than ten
ounces and exceeds fourteen inches
in circumference. McInnis hasn't
worn fingered glove for more than
six years, and he insists that he can
not get used to one. He may have
a special mitt made for him in order
to prevent rival clubs from filing
protests. AS a third baseman. by
the way, McInnis is in the front
rank.
