and it is said that Ex-Congressman
John r. *. Scott has a bill which
represents the Ware end of It,
The reform bill, which will replace
the Bullitt act, is said by the Phila-
delphia Record to be drastic, and to
possess other attributes, while the
North American says that it will
abolish abuse< and modernize means.
The Press says it makes radical
changes" and the Public Ledger re-
marks that it is sweeping measure"
The Inquirer calls attention to the
fact that it is the result of much

and seemed to appreciate a good
play no matter who did 1T.
Your people spoke very. well OF
the Wilmerding Airbrake Club, stat
ing that it was the best club which
has ever appeared in your city re-
GENTLY. If we had been given any
show we could have done equally
as we'll as Wilmerding, for we beat
them by eleven points since we were
in Harrisburg.
We would be willing to play that
club of Harrisburg's with their same
lineup and our same lineup on any
floor with a neutral referee, for the
gate receipts, using one set of rules,
either the National or A. A. U. Or
we would like to meet them again
on either our floor or theirs for
suitable guarantee. If this is not
strong enough l believe we could
arrange a side bet beside.
Trusting that you will straighten
up this little misunderstanding II
you can for which we will thank
you immensely,
Yours truly,
PITCAIRN BASKETBALL CLUB,
Homer L. Burgess, Secretary.
The Altoona criticism to which
Pitcairn objects was as follows:
Pitcairn, conquerors of the Ma
chine Shop basketball team in two
games last week, suffered licking
at Harrisburg Saturday night, 1884,
in a game that Harrisburg writer's
claim the roughest ever staged in
the capital city.
Pitcairn was severely scored for
their exhibitions of dirty play. AL
toona fans viewed the rough-neck
tactics of the Quakers in this city
and the team evidently let loose
with the same stuff at Harrisburg.
Pitcairn quit the floor with the score
1921 in the second half, Pitcairn
leading, with five minutes yet to
play. The Pitcairn team took along
the ball.
after some wragling the game
was resumed and Harrisburg tailed
five points to the visitors two when
the final whistle footed. Players
swapped punches and had a real
rough house"

Victory Loan Bill
Is Passed in the Senate
After All-Night Debate

Washington, March 3.--The Vic
tory Loan bill was passed by the
Senate early Sunday morning after
an all-night debate. The measure
authorizes the Secretary of the
Treasury to issue $7,O00,000,000 in
bonds and certificates and to fix
the rate of interest.
The passage of the measure will
not compel President Wilson to call
an extra session of Congress before
his return from his second trip to
Europe.
Debate on the bill lasted from Z
o'clock Saturday night until $50
o'clock Sunday morning.

a Held goal, which tied the score.
NAVY BOYS MAT VICTORS
The Midshipmen wrestlers gained
another victory Saturday afternoon,
defeating Yale "a to 4. All the bouts
were won on decisions and were
fought with cleverness and spirit.
Avery saved Yale from being
blanked by winning in the IT'S pound
class. Isbell made a plucky defense
and broke out of several dangerous
holds. Avery used chin hold, some
thing new here, in combination with
others. Walling of Yale had to work
equally hard to save himself from a
fall at the hands of Maichle, the
Navy captain, in the unlsnited
weight event.
Berry, Yale, and Adell, Navy, re-
duired an extra six minutes in the
125 pound class before a decision
could be reached. Yale showed equal
strength and aggressiveness as the
Navy but did not appear to know the
game as well. They wrestled stripped
to the waist, the first time such a
thing has been done before an audi
ence at the Naval Academy.

Deficit Runs High

No appropriations will be made
by the State to hospitals and homes
not under State control to meet &C.
ficits in the cost of maintenance the
last two years and bills carrying
funds to meet deficiencies IN the IN
stitutions that are managed by the
commonwealth will be closely scru-
tiniZed before being approved by
Governor William c. Sproul. This is
the result of the discovery IN check
ing up bills that the total sum asked
of the Legislature to meet de-
ficiencies was $1,S44,339.14. 1t
probably means that many of the
departments of the State government
which are asking for increases in al
lowances for salaries will he COM
PEELED to pare their estimates.
Sums running millions above the
total of S35,000,000 carried by the
general State government deficiency
have been asked by heads of de-
partments or are contained in pre-
liminary estimates, while the aggre-
gate likely to be placed before the
Legislature from all sources will
run into unprecedented figures.
The total statement of the bills
for deficiency bills including the

measure, runs as follows:

Sporting Editor, Harrisburg Tele-
+, graph: A Mr.. Dan Slep, formerly
of Altoona, but now of Pitcairn,
handed me the enclosed clipping
from one of the Altoona papers
which greatly surprised me. TO say
the least. 1t is wrong for either
Harrisburg or Altoona papers to
brand our team as rough necks,
for such is not the case. In fact we
played the strong Buhl club, of
Sharon this week, winning the
game by five points, and they said
Pitcairn was the cleanest team
which had appeared on their floor in
years.
When in both Altoona and Har-
risburg, Pitcairn started out so fast
that both opposing clubs thought
they would use roughness to stop
them, and while both opposing
teams were much larger men and
heavier in weight, they should not
complain that they got the worst
OF what they started.
We were not satisfied with the
game in Harrisburg. I'VE figure we
got the worst deal we have ever
received, and we have been in many
OF the leading towns and cities
throughout the state. We were
forced to play strictly Harrisburg
rules. which were a mingling of
National, A. A. u. and Intercol-
legiate. The referee was unfair.
When we had the game Won by one
point and the timekeeper's whistle
had sounded he insisted on a double
foul, but it looked too raw and there
was only foul shot. The manager of
the Harrisburg club came into our
dressing room and stated very en-
phatically that we would have to
play an extra five-minute period or
get no money.
Harrisburg fans came to us in
large numbers and commended us
and stated they did not like the deal
we got, and I might add that in
all our playing around we have new
er seen a finer, better crowd than
what attended the game in Harris
burg. They were fair and impartial
