to see George CLANCY endeavor to
come back. Before the windup went
on one of the gallery gods noticed
him in a box at the ,ringside. Kid
took up the cry and Williams clam
hered into the ring. He was given a
wonderful ovation by the crowd.
When they demanded a speech, the
Kid said that he would be back with
us after the holidays.
THE former champion planned to
re-enter the ring last summer, but as
he had not quite recovered from an
attack of influenza. he found it hard
to train. Now, however he is feeling
exceptionally well and believes that
he will be able to hold his own
as he gets in shape.
Williams will make Philadelphia
his home and do his training at Jack
O'Briens gym. His first battle will
probably be with Max Williamson.

Williams fought Terry Brookes, put
ting the latter out in the third
round. Later he appeared at Steelton

"Pop''. Henninger Opens

Clay Henninger. the grand old man
of baseball in the Cumberland VAL
ley, is out in an announcement that
Chambersburg will be represented
in the Blue Ridge League this COM

WILL PROTEST
RATE INCREASE
New Cumberland Citizens En-
power Council to Proceed in
Fighting New Tariff

New Cumberland, Pa, Dec. 16.-
Residents and taxpayers at a citizens
meeting in the council chamber last
night authorized council to file a
protest with the Public Service Com
mission against an increase in water
rates which the Riverton Consolidat-
ed Water Company will put into eff
feet on January 1. A motion by
B. f. Carver and seconded by G. w.
Bair which passed unanimousl
gives council authority to obtain the
services of an attorney to work to-
gether with Jacob Reiff, borough So
iicitor, in filing the protest and en-
ters this borough into a law contro-
versy with a water company for the
second time in less than ten years.
The new rates, according to resi-
dents will mean that local consum-
ers pay twice as much for the pres
ent amount of water which is equiva-
lent to the amount paid in all other
West Shore towns consuming this
company's water.
When the company was first or
ganized an ordinance in the form of
contract was drawn up and passed
giving the company permission to
install pipe lines in the borough
streets. In this ordinance the COM
pany officials agreed to furnish con-
sumers water for $40 fiat rate and
that the rate should at no time be
increased. 1t was also included in
this ordinance that the borough
could at any time it was financially
able to purchase the reservoir and
piping system through the borough.
About eight years ago the bor-
ough went before the Public Service
Commission with request to pur-
chase the water system. At that
time the borough was not financially
able, 1T is said, and a long contro-
versy followed the filing of an in
junction with the commission. The
affair after long and bitter fight
was ended with the borough record
ing little progress and with the ex-
penditure of considerable amount
of money.
At last nights session residents
discussed the feasibility of purchas-
ing the plant. II was pointed ont by
councilmen that the section of the
ordinance providing this cannot be
annuled while the rate clause is not
binding.

BASEBALL SUPPORTER URGES DAYLIGHT SAVING TO ASSURE TWILIGHT GAMES
FIGHTERS FEAR
JOHNNY GILL
Refuse to Meet His Weight
Cyclone Scott Threatens
Local Boy

In a letter to Johnny Gill from
Marcus Williams, manager of the
Auditorium A. c., Philadelphia, the
Quaker City promoter acknowledges
his inability to secure a good man
to go against gill; Manager Will
liams claims that Gilrs "kayo' in
his battle with frankie Britton has
scared Philadelphia middleweights.
Cyclone Scott, said to hail from New
England, also ran up against SINH
lar conditions.
Scott used some tactics that were
not in true sportsmanship style, in
order to get n match with Gill. Now
that the fight has been announced
for Monday night, December 22, at
Steelton, Scotts manager is break
ing into print with all sorts OF
threats.
Gil meets Scott in a 1O-round
wind-up bout. The New England
boy must show 15S pounds at
p. m. To local fans Scott is prac-
ticaliy unknown, but, reports from
Philadelphia claim he is a real
fighter.
Other Bouts on Bill
Manager Joe Barrett says the six
round bout between Joe Carson, of
Allentown, and Paddy Sylvester, of
Philadelphia, Will be corker, as
both boys are after Billy Angelo, and
the winner will get the chance.
Willie Langford, Gilrs boxing
partner, will meet AL Mason, of Lam
caster who recently won the colored
welterweight championship of Ian
caster city and county, before Frank
Erne's club.
After n layoff of several weeks
Young Lehmer, of this city, who

norman. of Hershey, the youngster
who made his brother throw up the
sponge last week, in the fifth round.
Harry Hildebrandt. the one con-
quered by the Hershey boxer, will
not stay on the side lines, so Barrett

Without Daylight Saving Pop
ular Twilight Games Are
Not a Certainty

Local baseball fans are unit on
the daylight saving question. WITH
out that extra hour they see the
passing of the popular local twl-
light series for next summer. Here
is what one big baseball booster and
real sport has to say on daylight
saving:
Il have noticed your earnest
drive for daylight saving is now on
and as you know that L am person.
ally very much in accord with this
movement, principally on account
of the recreation the West End Twi-
light Baseball League offered thou
sands of our citizens last summer.
If it were not for the extra hour OF
daylight saving we would encounter
many problems on the maintenance
of this league.
"F'irst, all players participating in
these games are employed during
the day, the same being true of the
officials, as well as the fans. Under
the eight-hour program in effect in
nearly all industrial plants, meaning
that $50 p. m. is the time for the
end of the work day; without the
extra hour it would necessitate the
games being started one hour earlier
and, therefore, hurry and worry
everybody interested in this greatest
of all sports.
I'm fact, after considering the
twilight games from all angles, ], as
well as all those associated in this
proposition, feel it would not sur
vive without the added hour. / sin

PLAN INCREASE
TO YALE BOWL
Expect Record Crowd to See
the Harvard Game;' Seeks
Contest With Army

New Haven, Conn, Dec. 16.-Pre-
liminary conferences of Yale football
| officials have been held with a view
! to completing plans for next season
as early as possible. 1t is felt that
the Ellis were handicapped this fall
by their failure to map out an early
policy.
Yale made one of the latest starts
of any Eastern university in arrang-
ing its schedule. One of the unfor-
tunate results appeared when a mis-
understanding led ito Yale's failure
to arrange game with Colgate.
When Yale found that the Colgate
schedule was full and that no other
strong eleven could be booked it's dis
appointment was keen. Yale hopes
to have Colgate on its list another
fall.
a strong bid is being made for a
game with West Point in the Bowl.
Yale will decline to visit the Military
Academy on the Hudson, having
learned by experience of several sea-
sons that game played there can
accommodate only small crowd.
Because Secretary Daniels has given
permission for a game to be played
by the Navy at Princeton, it is hoped
at Yale that the War Department
will give similar permission to the
West Point team. Yale feels firmly
that such n match would fill the
Bowl with u crowd of $4,000. 1t is
likely that the seating capacity of the
Bowl, which was only 81 900 the past
year, will be expanded to $4,000 next
fall, because of the biennial visit of
the Harvard team here.
The double-header plan, which has
been suggested by Manager Fred
Moore of Harvard. to allow a big
university eleven to meet two minor
college opponents the same after
noon, is warmly approved by Yale
officials. One possible effect of the
plan may be to induce small colleges,
which have refused Yales challenges
for several seasons, to came to the
Bowl.
The football officials stoutly deny
that Captain Tim Callahan, or any
other representative of the team, will
go to Seattle during the holidays to
confer with former Head Coach Tad
Jones relative to his returning to
Yale next fall. Some changes Will
be made in the Yale resident coach
ing staff, but they will not be de-
cided upon until a general confer
ence of former Eli football players
is held next month. One of the
changes strongly favored is the ad-
dition of a quarterback coach.
Manager Trouche of the 1920 team
has been canVassing the squad to
learn the plans of the 25 players who
were in the lineup against either
Princeton or Harvard and has found
that several who planned to take a
war degree next June have decided
to take advantage of the extension
of the course in the Sheffield Scien-
titic School and will be available for
that only Jim Braden, Joe Neville,
Parker Allen and Carter Gait, of
the 1919 team, will be missing next
fall.
