men who are in danger of being led
into lives OF idleness and crime. and are
to be counter attraction for the saloon,
the poolroom. corner loafing places and
other spots that make for the destruction
rather than the upbuilding of body and
mind"
And it was apparent from all that
was said and all that was done at the
Harlem branch reception that the pro-
moters of the Marshall Stillman idea
have come to the base rock conclusion
that the manly art of boxing, when prop
erly engaged in the right kind of an
environment, is a spiritualizing and not
by any means a brutalizing force.
The strenuous parson. backed up by
n committee of some of Gothams' most
prominent citizens, emphasized:
"As I see it, God is no distinguisher
of person and certainly we are no bet
ter than God. We wish to help all kinds
of young men. We wish them to mind
their own business and we will mind our
own business. We can best help them
by helping to make them sound in body
and mind. The rest is easy.
I'VE believe that boxing can be made
spiritualzinS force. We have seen
what it has done for the boys in the
American Army at home and overseas.
Boxing has made mighty appeal as it
makes for a clean, virile body and a
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-05-23

clean active brain. Boxing and other
athletic activities. such as we are pro-
posing. will keep a young man out of
the saloon and will keep him from
smoking cigarettes and doing other
things that will harm his body. He will
want to go to bed carly instead of stand
ing around with the corner loafers. He
will get the more manly idea of life
and will take care of his body. He will
be proud of his muscles. of his ability
to handle himself, and he will know the
real joy of leading clean life.
Il take it that this is something worth
working for. If the boys can't pay their
way in the clubs it will be our business
to go downtown and find somebody who
is willing to finance them. Instead of
a boy knocking somebody down and
taking his money away, that boy is 60
ing to give up his old ways, join one of
our clubs and we will undertake to hold
up one of his we'll to do brothers and
get him to hand up for the sake of that
boy.
At this same club a number OF pugi-
lists are now training. among them'
Benny Leonard. Ted Kid Lewis, form
erly welterweight champion John Dun
dee, Willie Meehan. Benny Nalsar'

The same teams were scheduled to

Sunday Baseball Coming Money
For The Magnates In Gotham.

Though Harrisburg would not
sanction Sunday baseball for one
moment, the fact remains that New
York has grabbed for it like a hun
cry tramp reaching for a roast beef
sandwich. The difference shows
how our great national metropolis
is varied in its enormous population,
and how rapidly Continental no.
tions are being absorbed by a popu-
lace made up in great measure of
foreign born.
The first Sunday ball at the Polo
Grounds was a marker for what may
be expected all season. and it is
noted that one-half the spectators
were women. The attendance there
was $4,000. thus attaining world
series multitude; while the first
Brooklyn game drew $4,000 paid at
tendance. From every point of view
the initial Sunday games were uni
versally successful, thus assuring
the home clubs in particular-and
with them the two major leagues
of a greatly increased and much
needed revenue.

however, at the eleventh hour he was

A number of motoring notables

solution to elect Rickenbacker, rel

Setting the pace for an Indian

most difficult tasks imaginable, and,
unless it is handled by an expert
driver, is apt to bring the entire
field TO grief. With thirty-three cars

abreast, the slightest bobble is apt
to result in a disaster such as has

A. TRIBUTE TO HIS WIFE

Maj. Charles Baird, of New
York, has been killed in France,
but leaves the world something
better than his military record to
remember. His entire estate goes
20 his wife, of whom the testator,
III his will, declares:
Il want to say to the world that
my wife, in my estimation, is the
most perfect woman | ever saw,
heard or knew Of. She is endowed
with marvellous courage, a very
strong will and intensely high
ideal of honor. Her love has never
at any time diminished, but has
always grown, until Iffeel it has
reached a point that can reason
ably be considered the acme of
perfect love. | am the richest of
men, in that | am blest with the
truest, most honorable and low
ing wife in the world"
This is fine, but, what is dis
tinctly better, is that it gives one
of the reasons for the fine love
with which the Major considered
himself the richest of men," is
the further clause concerning his
life. He declares that he had
never broken any pledge or prom
Use to his wife, nor had he ever
deceived her or told her a false
hood except as were necessary
to buy her presents and to pleas
antly surprise and cheer her."
We are glad to give publicity to
the love of the Major and his wife.
The will left by the dead hero at
least reflects ideas of life, and
countless wives and husbands
could profit by the words of the
will. The love of this couple will
not die, the major has not lived
in vain.
