MAYOR KEISTER
IS SOME "FAN''
Starts the Allison Hill League
For Season With the
First Contribution

At u meeting held last night of the
board of directors of the Allison Hill
Baseball League the st. Mary's team
was awarded franchise in the Hill
organization. The circuit for the
1919 season will be composed of
Reading, Rosewood, Galahad and
st. Mary's.
The newcomers have been repre-
sented on the diamond by one of the
fastest local amateur mines and have
always been noted for their clean
play. With the addition of this or
ganization, fans predict that the
league will be the best rounded Or
ganization of any of the four other
preceding seasons.
st. Mary's has presented strong
line-up of stars that have again been
signed, and prospects are that they
will make the other teams of the
league hustle to win from them.
Treasurer A. Fl. Fritz announced
at the meeting that the first contri-
button for the financial support of
the league had come from Mayor
d. l.. Keister. His Honor" is one
of the most loyal fans the Hill or
ganization has, and the managers
are pleased because of the fact that
the contribution was sent even be-
fore the letters asking for fins aces

With the revival of baseball on
a prodigious scale this year every
body is asking whether Harrisburg
is ever going to have a representa-
tive team. There is no chance at
any established league: all are filled
up. The matter was discussed with
some bitterness yesterday by cer-
this late date of hooking up with
tain enterprising men here who had
the misfortunes to drop a few thou
sands each on attempting to stage
good, professional ball in the capital
city. Naturally, these persons are
not very keen to experiment again,
although it is possible they would,
were they in full understanding with
the Park Department. which con-
trolls the leasing of the Island
grounds.
1t seems incredible that q city of
Harrisburgs size and Importance
does not have at least one represen-
tative ball club, which could keep
us on the map. The Allison Hill and
West End leagues are doing their
part, but with busy schedule they
will seldom have the time to take on
4 team from outside, such as offers
to-day from Williamsport. Its let
ter reads as follows:

When Joe Barretts boxing show
was over two weeks ago in Steelton,
at the Standard Theater, the crowd
that filled the place to the rafters
were loud in their claims that it was
the best seen in these parts for sew
eral years. and the way things went
along under the veterans character
istic way, acquired only by years in
the game, was a revelation. But,
not entirely satisfied, Joe says his
next show, on April 2, will be much
better from a fighting standpoint.
Every one who saw the easy
manner of Herman Miller in action
with Johnny Wolgast will wonder
when Barrett says he has secured
Joe Borrell, of New York, to meet
Miller next show. 1t is generally
agreed that Miller is terrific hit
ter and is at home in taking a good
lacing, but in Borrell it will be an
entirely different case, as Borrell is
noted all over the country and Eu-
rope as a fierce hitter. In fact, in
addition to being the only fighter
who ever made the now famous
iron man, Joe Grim, take the count,
all of the near past middleweight
champions have felt his sting, in

Barrett Pairs Miller and
Borrell For Steelton Show

Guiding George Chip, Harry Greb
and AL Mccoy. Going out of his
class, the New Yorker beat Walter
Monohan, the man who trained
Willard to beat Jack johnson and
will train the champion to meet
Jack Dempsey on July 4.
About the end of November, 1916,
Borrell made a tour of Europe and
cleaned up without being beaten be-
fore sailing home again. When
Uncle Sam declared war, Borrell
joined the Navy and served until
the armistice was signed. Since
then he has not been beaten. Four
weeks ago he won his bout with
Johnny Wolgast in Philadelphia on
foul in the second round. Truth
is, Borrell only lost one decision,
that was to Silent" Martin, the deaf
and dumb heavyweight, on May o,
1916, in Providence.
Barrett was loath to use Miller
again for a while, but came to the
conclusion that it would be just Mil
ler's liking to swap punches with
Borrell, and it should surely be a
toe-to-toe swatfest. All the winners
in the clubs last preliminaries will
meet better men in the coming
show.

Stranger Lewis Meets

victory was we'll within his clasp
when Zbyszko fell heavily upon him
and knocked him out of breath. Up
to that time the match was all GO

Lewis was man enough to admit de-
feat and to give full credit TO his
worthy opponent. He is hoping for
another match with Zbyszko as de-
feat took none OF his confidence out
of him.
Lewis has been the sensation of
the wrestling world since he broke
into fame a few years ago. He has
met and defeated all the big mat

Draak he meets an opponent worthy

and most aggressive wrestlers in

now on. In bringing Lewis here

TT is unbelievable that anyone
can go through a marriage
ceremony without realizing the

contract. And yet numbers Of

thing-their dress, veil, shoes,
presents - everything but the
promises to which they solemnly
swear.

young woman in connection with

to do. eyes. ma'am!" She flared
up at me, "in white satin. veil and
buckskin pumps" Alas, these
glories had not kept the young
couple from quarreling and the
man from deserting her. She con-
fided in me that the marriage had
been a great success, j. e., her
family had rome into debt to give
her a fine wedding outfit and all
her girl friends had been jealous.
The quarreling, disillusionment
and separation seemed minor de-
tails compared with that splendid
fashion supplement display-the
ceremony.

dared me TO-" etc. And these
girls are panied and grieved to
find that the ceremony is binding
and to be free again will REQUIRE
a large sam Of money and lengthy
court proceedings. Then they say,
tearfully, they didn't understand.
Then please get some one to ex-

they expect to construct skirts,
