CLARENDON NINE TO
START WORK SUNDAY

Manager Joe Geibel is much pleas
ed over the prospects of having a
winning team at Clarendon this sea-
son. Following the Citizens Associa-
tion supper last week an informal
meeting was held at the home of
Treasurer James A Dorritee, and as
result another meeting will be held
at the engine house at Clarendon
Thursday night to which Giebel in
vites all members of the 1918 team,
as well as any other players who
would like to try for the team.
The sudden death of John Murphy.
counted on to cover the first sack.
necessitates a switch in Geibel's plans
and it is reported that Dutch Sterzer
will. in all probability. get the call.
For second base there should be a
lively fight between Al Watt and Ed
die Mcmahon. Del Bolen. who sus-
tanned a broken arm during last
years post season series, is unde-
cided as TO his plans for this year.
but it Is believed he will be out when
the bell rings. Manager Geibel hopes
to get his men out for an initial work
next Sunday afternoon.

LEBANON WILL
keep LEAGUERS
Steel Workers Anxious to
Retain Major Stars for
This Seasons S Club.

Lebanon, Pa, March 1o-Big league
ball players employed at the Lebanon
plant Of the Bethlehem Steel Company
are so we'll thought of by local ad-
mirers that a movement is on foot
to supply the necessary funds to make
them forget financial Inducements of
the majors.
Briefly, Lebanon business men and
baseball fans want Del Pratt. second
basemsn of the New York Yankees;
Jim Shaw. pitcher, and Sam Agnew,
catcher, of the Washington club; Ed
die Murphy, outfielder of the White
Sox: George Hale. catcher of the st.
Louis Browns. and Pitchers Norman
Pitt and Bill Ritter to turn a deaf
ear to offers Of big league clubs.
To prove that these big leaguers are
desirnbles, a boosters club has been
formed. the purpose of which Is TO
supply the necessary funds to retain
the citizenry of thes tossers as well
as keep their baseball skill for Char
ley Kilchner's Lebanon team.
The boosters club proposes to raise
sufficient money to make up the dif-
ference in salaries these players would
receive were they to give up their
Jobs here and return to the society OF
major league circles.
The first example of the success
with which the movement is meeting
was had yesterday. when Pitcher Jim
Shaw. of the Washington Club, was
approached by Manager Clark Griffith.
who had hoped to get his signature to
a 1919 contract. Shaw appeared so
well pleased with the treatment he re-
celved here that Griffith went back to
Washington without his signature to
the papers.
Shaw declared that he W6Nd not
give ups >his present position as assis-
tant superintendent Of the North Leb-
anon furnace plant of the Bethlehem
Steel Company unless he is given a
substantial increase in salary over the
best figure mentioned by Manager
Griffith.

London. March 10.-The fight low
ers anticipate a lively scrimmage
tonight, when Jem Driscoll, eX-
featehweight titleholder. and Ped
lar Palmer. the former bantam
weight champ clash in a 15-round
bout. Public opinion as to the out
come is evenly divided.
Both Driscoll and Palmer are
well known to American fight fol-
lowers. Palmer fought and won
some memorable battles. his con-
tests with George Dixon being par
ticularly spectacular. He fought a
six-round draw with Dixon in 1894.
In 1903 he won an eightrOund bout
from Dixon in London. Palmer was
knocked out by Terry McGovern in
one round in 1899.

Lexington. KY. March 1O.-Fhe
death was announced yesterday of
Sweet Marie. 2:o2, by Mckinney,
from Lady Rivers by Mambrino
and formerly one of the most IA
nous trotting mares on the grand
circuit. She died of old age at the
farm of her owner. James r. Ma
gowan. at Mt. Sterling. KY, being
Il years old.
Sweet Marie was not heard Of on
the grand circuit until 1904, when
she appeared and swept nearly
everything. She won that year s2S,-
900 in stakes and purses, closing
the season by her famous race here
at Lexington in Pennsylvania. In
that event Tiverton had taken two
heats and it seemed to be all his
way. when suddenly the beautiful
mare started in and took the three
next heats and the race.
After 1904 Sweet Marie did not
do much. Finally her owner, Da-
vid r. Look. of New York, retired
her to his Castleton stud and later
sold her to w. ]. Rickerman. of
Mamaroneck. n. Y. who kept her
in the stud.
