Over Young Detroit Star

New York, Oct 23. - George r.

ond match on to-day's schedule, in

GET READY FOR
VOLLEYBALL
First of Series of Games With
Hanover to Be Played
Saturday Night

Volley ball is one of the most pop
ular sports in York county. For
several seasons there has been con-
siderable rivalry for championship
honors. Teams that have played
the strongest lineups in Pennsylvania
have represented York, Hanover,
Weightsville and other sections of
York county. 1t was up to Han
over. however, to produce the teams
that made q cleanup.
These champions are still intact,
and will be in Harrisburg Saturday
night In order to decide the cham
pionship between the Hanover and
Zembo Patrol, series OF three
games have been arranged. The
first will be played Saturday night
at Chestnut Street Auditorium. The
game starts at 8.15 and it is to be a
public exhibition.
Good Sport
Volley ball is game that every
body can understand and becomes
interested in from the start There
is plenty of excitement An addi-
tional feature at these games will
be a dance program lasting two
hours. A small admission fee is
charged, and to date the crowds have
been very encouraging, showing an
increase each game.
On Saturday night there will be
rooters from York and Hanover and
they promise to be some factor in
the big game. In the party will be
men and women who have been in
terested in this sport. Local rooters
will also be in evidence. Among the
latter will be the members of the
police and other teams that have
been winning laurels in Dauphin
county games.

LEAGUE TEAMS
TO DOUBLE UP
Nationals and Americans to
Use Same Ball Parks;
More Economical

Chicago, Oct. 24.-By process of
three, major league baseball plants
will be dismantled next season, ac-
cording to the most authentic infor-
nation obtainable. This is to the
effect that, by the time the curtain
rises on the 1920 championship
season. Chicago will be the only city
which will be asked to patronize two
big league parks.
The proposition is to cooperate
in st. Louis, Philadelphia and Bos-
ton along the lines adopted some
time ago by the two major leagues
in New York, where the Polo
Grounds are occupied Jointly by the
National and American League
teams, although the lease on the
lot and title to the plant are held
by the owners of the Giants. For
several years the two New York
teams have played in the Polo
Grounds without friction and have
reduced the overhead cost to each
club.
Double Up at st. Louis
Before another season opens it is
more than probable the St. Louis
National League club will be shar-
ing the plant of the st. Louis
Browns and the Philadelphia Ma
tionals will be under contract to
play ball in Shribe Park, the home
of the Athletics.
In every other city except Chicago
which has teams in the National
and. American leagues the baseball
parks are located in the same Sec
ton of the community. In st.
Louis the same car line serves both
parks, which are only half a mile
apart. The Browns have "a modern
plant capable of handling anything
except a worlds series crowd with
out overflowing.
The Cards park is an old fash
toned affair, part of which was
burned this year and the rest or
which cost lot Of money to Keep
in good favor with the building
commissioners of st. Louis. More
over, the ground on which the part
is located is valuable as a quick as
set.
Conditions in Boston
A ticklist situation exists IN
Boston, where both National and
American League clubs are strug-
Cling to lift heavy overhead eX-
penses, due to the cost OF their
plants. The American League CLUB
having DullL IT'S pldhI oS'S'~A
ago. probably is in better condition
as to it's bonds than the National
League team is. Moreover. its
grounds are better situated ior
commercial purposes, being in the
heart of automobile row" and the
Red Sox park is better adapted TO
baseball, because it is more compact
than the plant occupied py the
Braves.
The latter with a seating capacity
of more than $4,000, all on the
ground level, is the biggest paseoalI
plant in America. but it smothers
the average crowd and STILES en-
thusiasm. 1t would be the rational
solution, however. for the two Bos,
ton clubs to combine on the rental
of the Braves park and the disuse
of the Red Sox ground.
That would give the National
League control of the plants IN
New York and Boston and the
American League of those In Phila-
delphia and st. Louis.

Allentown Dundee Gives
Notice He Will Meet Any
Boy His Class and Weight

Allentown, Pa, Oct, 23. While
Bennie Leonard and Lew Tender
are wrangling about n championship
match, there Is a fellow up here in
Allentown who is ready to meet the
champion at any time, over any dis
tance. incidentally, Lew Tender
funked out of match with this
same boy, Allentown Dundee.
Dundee has not lost a decision in
over two years. In that time he
has defeated such boys as Joe Tip
litz, right after Tiplitz knocked out
CLANCY, Joe Phillips. Eddie Mean
.drews and lot of other high-class
boys. Dundee has never been count
ed over. He has never been stopped
and he has boxed the hardest
punchers in the game. He docs not
believe that Leonard's punches can
hurt him. Anyway, he will be well
pleased to permit the champion to
try, and there are several clubs in
this State, including the National A.
A, of Philadelphia, that are willing
to stage the contest.
Two weeks ago, Allentown Dundee
had little trouble trimming Billy
Richards, of Altoona, although
Richards was much bigger. He is
scheduled to box Barney Conway at
Johnstown, Pa, on next Monday
night He is ready to fight any liv-
ing lightweight, any distance, to
prove that he is the legitimate man
to meet Bennie Leonard.
Dundee will be the star attraction
at Harrisburg tomorrow night,
meeting Kid Thomas, of Philadel-
phia,

Defense of Boxing

Some people," he said. "have
been worrying lately over boxing
and have been holding prayer
meetings to try to put a stop to
it. The church must learn to
understand the needs of men
their physical and mental g well
