SCIENTISTS SAY
Improvement Over the Greek
Sports; Some Misconcep-
tions About Games

In connection with the introduc-
ton of baseball into many nations
whose soldiers learned the game
while fighting as the comrades of
Americans in France. the National
Geographic Society has issued the
following bulletin concerning the
great American sport:
Some historians assert that the
Greek games formed the foundation
for the lucid thinking and the lofty
art concepts that made her product
classic. Yet the Olympian and the
Pythian games at their best AFFORDED
no such spontaneous, yet intrinsic,
interplay of muscle and mind as
baseball.
Baseball needs no advocate. A
game which holds sway among a
highly civilized people Is its own de-
fense. Still 1t is interesting to COM
pare baseball with the Greek games
in two points, wherein baseball is
criticised.
A NIisconccption
"Some hold that professional
players of to-day reap rich rewards
in comparison with the garland of
wild olive often thought to have
been the sole prize of an Hellenic
champion. Others argue that pro-
fessional baseball affords exercise
for eighteen paid players, and mere
amusement for thousands of in
active spectators in the grandstand.
"The first objection is based on
misconception. II hope OF reward
robs baseball of its sporting merit
the Greek festivals also must lose
prestige. An Olympic winners
wreath was only his service badge.
He was banqueted for weeks, taken
back to his native city In a charlot,
and sometimes the walls were torn
down for his triumphal entry. Usu-
ally he lived thereafter at puplc
expense. He was showePed with
costly gifts by friends. Cicero COM
planned that Greek champion won
more honors than a Roman general.
Fame Was Spread
''While the competitor got no
share of the gate receipts in the
ancient world series, his home
town was bound to heap fortune
upon him, in addition to the trib-
utes of admirers. His fame was
good municipal advertising at
time when billboards did not mar
the landscape. Athens regarded an
Olvmpian victor worth standing
reward of 500 drachmas, and free
rations for the rest of his life. :,
"The reason for these material
rewards is not far to seek. A Greek
could no more train ten months to
compete in the games and continue
his normal pursuits, than can a
modern baseball player

TIM DRONEY MEET FAST -
BOY IN TOMMY JAMISON
STRONG FTSTIC PROGRAM

Tommy Jamison, of Philadelphia.
Everybody who witnessed the last
show at the Chestnut street auditor
ium has not forgotten Droney's good
work with Allentown Dundee. The
Lancaster boy was called in at the
eleventh hour and more than made
good. He had the best of Dundee.
In the battle Thursday night Droney
meets boy who has won decisively
over Dundee, in fact put him out.
This means that Droney will have to
set pace even faster than at the last
show. That he will do 1t is the be-
lief of all his admirers in Harrisburg.
The semi-windup of six rounds will
find Andy Smith, of Wilkes-Barre,
up against Young Earring, of Read
ing. Both are good boys. Smith has
a record that makes him a strong
contender for title honors. Earring is
known to local patrons and this
match is one OF the best possible.
Good Preliminaries
There will be two preliminarles.
Battling Paskos, of Reading, meets
Dick Gotwalt, of York, in a six-round
engagement. The York fighter is
anxious to show he is a better man
than Paskos ever was, and has been
training hard for this battle. X. o.
casey, one or Harrfsburg'S best young
boxers, will open the show, meeting
Battling Deemer, of Reading.
For this show there will be a new
arrangement of seats. Only ringside
seats will be reserved. Popular prices
will prevail for the balance of the
seats, which means that there will
be a large number of straight dollnr
admissions. Special prices are also
announced for the gallery and rear
seats on the first floor. The show
starts at $40 D. m.
