Johnny Wolgast Winner
Over Philadelphia Boy

Reading, Pa, April 8. - Johnny
Wofsast, Lancaster, outpointed Hen
ry Hauber, Philadelphia, in the Wat
son A. C. windup last night. VOL
CASTS left jab had Hauber's face
like a piece of raw beef, but the Phil
adelphian's eagerness to battle made
the bout exciting. Hauber's right
hooks bothered Wolgast, and sew
eral times caused pain. The crowd
cheered the fighters to the echo as
they left the ring.
In the first half double windup,
Young Coster, Philadelphia, and Tim
Callahan, Savannah, standing toe to
toe, swapping punch for punch,
fought the most exciting draw ever
witnessed here. Coster's right jab
seemed to battle Callahan for several
rounds but the Southwesterner sue
ceeded in blocking his opponent, MS
ing a wicked body punch that even
ed up matters. Both boys welcom-
ed the final bell.
frankie O'Brien, Reading, shaded
Buck Taylor, Baltimore, the latter
taking the count of five in the second
round, a right to jaw. Lee Finneran,
Erie, bested Bobby North. Brooklyn,
after six whirlwind rounds.

letes, Robertson is undoubtedly the
most experienced of them all.
Local managers this season, are
going to be sure of their players.
Many will insist on a written agree
ment. Last year several teams did
not have same lineup twice.

The proposed memorial in Calvary

Big league managers are still up
against it in solving the question
of gaps in lineup. 1t is not going
to be an easy thing to get players
who will make good. Present indi-
cations are that with a few stars and
the balance beginners, some teams
will be top heavy.
Once more comes the announce
ment that high grade golf balls and
clubs will cost more this season.
This will not stop Harrisburgs golf
enthusiasts. They look upon the
sport as something real and bene-

consideration. One player put it

health at a small cost"

WAR DRAFTS HIT
LEAGUE TEAMS
Managers Fear Gaps in Line
up if Uncle Sam Calls
Big Stars

New York. April 3-Major League
club owners are not at all sure of
holding players within the draft age
until the close of the 1918 season.
With the next draft call liable to
come during the month of April,
men of draft age will be rushed to
army cantonments just as fast as it
is possible. for the government to
get them there, and as the boys in
Class Ia are called there may be
gaping holes in many big league
lineup by the first of July.
Such players as Benny Kauff, AL.
MamauX, Ray Chapman, Red Faber,
Grover Cleveland Alexander and
George Burns may be wearing khaki
instead of big league uniforms by
midsummer. And there is no use
Understanding the extent that the
loss of their services would amount
to.
Giants in Danger
Should the Giants lose Kauff, Nc
Graw's outiield would be practically
wrecked. Davey Robertson's deter
mlnatlon to quit the game was a
hard enough blow. but the dashing
little centerfielder of Federal League
fame would be missed even more
than Robertson We're he to go.
In the case of Ray Chapman, who
may be taken from the Indians, his
going would wreck Lee FohIs in
held. >One of the best shortstoppers
in the business, Chapman's presence
on the Cleveland inner circle is i'm
peratlVe to give it balance. With
out him the Indian infield would be
ike boat without a rudder.
May Lose Faber
The White SoX could ill afford to
lose the services of Red Faber, who
Is being depended on to win many
games for them this season, and
should the Cubs lose Alexander, his
shoes could not possibly be filed.
While AL. MamauX is somewhat of
an experiment for the Dodgers,
Uncle Robby is counting heavily on
him to come back and star as the
headliner of the Brooklyn staff, so
II he goes Brooklyn will suffer.
There are a good many other
players whose status is not definite.
Some of them could be spared we'll
enough, but others are badly needed.
So the magnate is getting ready to
open the season without assurance
that he can put a ball club in the
field and keep it there. The mag
mates, however, are not yelping,
They will stand any loss with a smile
and consider that it adds to their

HOW OLD IS
JESS WILLARD?
Inquiries Are Numerous; One
Book 1t Is Said Gives In
correct Date

Pittsburgh, April 3.-How old is
Jess Willard?> This is a question
that is being passed around fstic
circles. Quite a few folks have
wondered what Wizards draft rat
ing was. According to Tom An
drews' usually reliable and invalu-
able sporting annual, Willard was
born on December 20, 1887. in Pot
tawatomie County. Kansas, and has
grown to the height of feet 6
inches.
If the date of birth is correct, Will
lard is subject to draft, as he will
not be 81 years of age until Decem-
Der 20, 1918. Also, as he is known
to have no physical defect and does
have ample means for providing for
MS family, why has be not been
summoned to the army? Nobody
seems to know, and there has never
Deeh advanced any special reason
Ior MS own coynesS or that of the
draft officials.
Dates Are Incorrect
" iAO nave DGen WlIl
Willard and his affairs for a long
tlme, are pretty we'll agreed that the
birth record in Tom Andrews book
IS incorrect as to date, and that VIII
lard is already past the age of 81
years, hence exempt from the draft.
lie is thought to have been more
tnan 81 when the enrolment took
place on June 5. 1917. Some think
wizard is really about 35 years OF
age right now.
Wizards ring career began in
1911, in Oklahoma. He did NOT
reach the big time until he went 10
poor and no-decision rounds with
Arthur Pelkey in New York on July
~, 1912. He was regarded as a
mere busher and was all of that. but
ne was ambitious and felt he had
chance to become champion.
III is presumed that in order to
bunk along the managers of the bet
ter-known men who were looking for
marks, Willard gave his age as less
than 1T really was. He wanted to
appear as little more than n how.
while the truth is that instead of he
ing 23 or "a years of age six years
ago, he was 26 or 27 and much more
solldly constructed than his opnon-
ents supposed. Anyhow, the draft
officials do not appear to have both
cred with Willard and it is not be-
lieVed that they will. In other words
ne has told them his really and truly
age and they have verified it.

ASK SUGGESTIONS
FOR NEW RULES
Football Charges to Be De-
cided This Year by
Mail

New York, April 3.-The open
season for suggesting changes in the
football rules for next season will be
about two weeks, according to a
circular letter mailed by Chairman
E. K. Hall to members of the inter-
collegiate rules committee. He re-
quested that every member who has
changes in the code to recommend
mail them promptly to Walter
Camp, secretary of the committee.
He also asked football coaches, cap
tains, school and college officials
who desire to suggest changes to
send their recommendations to Mr..
Camp.
This action, which makes unne-
cessary the holding of one or more
sessions of the rules committee, sew
eral of whose members live in the
Northwest, was forecast at the an
nual meeting of the National Col
legiate Association in December,
when Harry Williams, of the Uni
versity of Minnesota, a member of
the rules committee, called atten-
ton to the fact that a considerable
saving might be affected if persons
interested in securing changes in the
code would mail them to the rules
committee and have a mail vote
taken on the proposed alterations.
Await Mail Answers
The plan. proposed by DR.. Will
liams was adopted, and Brigadier
General Palmer e. Pierce, president
of the association, invited Secretary
Camp of the rules committee to meet
him in Washington last Saturday.
The situation was discussed, and
Chairman Hall of the rules commit
tee was requested to send out the
formal invitation to the committee
members and all other persons who
have changes to suggest to make
them at once.
Informal discussions of the foot
ball situation have brought out the
fact that the changes which are eX-
pected will be merely nominal. No
demand for radical alterations has
been heard. The letter sent out by
Chairman Hall stated that it is like
ly that more football will be played
in America next fall than ever be-
fore

.SHAWKEY JOINS
NAVAL RESERVES
Enlists in Accounting Depart
ment, at League Island
Philadelphia

Philadelphia, April 3.-Bob Shaw
key, former pitcher of the Athletics
and for the last three years a mem
| Der of the New York Yankees, has
quit baseball for the present and en-
listed in the United States naval
service as a chief yeoman. Shawkey
was sworn in yesterday at the re-
cruiting headquarters of the Fourth
| Naval Reserve district and will be
ordered to report for examination in
about a week. "I enlisted to prove
that I'm no Stacker" said Bob yes
terday.
Shawkey is an expert accountant
and if he passes examination he
probably will be attached to the ac-
counting department at League Is
land. He formerly made his home in
this city, at Sixtieth street and Wash
ington avenue.
The pitcher went South with the
Yankees on the training Grip last

was notified that a draft board in

He announced that he would make
an effort to enter the aviation service
but evidently changed his mind.
Works With Other Stars
During the winter Mrs. Shawkey
began suit for divorce against him
| asserting that he had struck her
when she declined to make an atfi-
davit that she was dependent upon
him. She alleged that he meant to
ask for deferred classification in the
draft Recently Shawkey said that
| he would make no appeal from the
! draft board which put him in
| Glass 1.
In the accounting department at
/ League Island, Shawkey will find a
number of widely known baseball
players. He probably will pitch for
