young athlete in this city. I find
the French youngster keenly in
terested in the game, and with the
proper organization and the help
of the professors, prospects look
unusually bright.
There is a plant on foot to Sc
cure several professional players to
assist in introducing the game
throughout France, and this will
mean an organization which will not
be behind that of the United States
among the schools. Only by. the
introduction of baseball to the
youngster, can I see q real future
for the great American game. With
in the next decade we shall see
international contests which will be
welcomed by the baseball loving pub
lie of the United States"
AT the present time the A. e. +.
is working on a plan to stage n
series of elimination contests among
the soldiers in France. 1t is ex-
pected that the two leading teams
VIII tour Fance to assist in intro
duc1ng the game to the French peo-
pie. The French have found that
baseball has given the soldiers from
united States a training that fitted
IN well with military life, and are
naturally interested in promoting
this athletic activity among their
own boys.

1t is seldom that one fighter will
agree to have the former manager of
another man he is to fight in the ring
acting as referee, but this is just
what Johnny Wolgast has agreed
upon, in his coming fight with Her
man Miller next Wednesday night at
the Standard theater in Steelton. Joe
Barrett, the veteran promoter and
former manager of Miller, is con-
Quoting the steel city bouts, and in
all his previous shows he has so act
ed as the third man in the ring. Joe
says while he does not mistrust other
referees, he, alone is responsible for
any misjudgment in a battle, and
must make good with his patrons,
and many times no matter how hon
est a mans intentions are, there is
liable to be a slip up. Hence, Joe
says he is in the game to please those
who pay their cash at the box office,
and no one fighter.
Wolgast understands this, so when
the matter of a referee was brought
up on the side line of articles, there
was little difficulty over this part of
the contract, as Johnny put it, Bar
rett will suit me, as he is the man
responsible, not only to me, but to
every man in the house, and 1 know

from Joe's past record that they all
look alike to him." so the veteran
will be the third man in the ring
next week.
Miller is now and has been, under
the management of John O'Donnell,
for the past eighteen months, and is
now training at O'Donnell's school
of physical culture in York.
To lose this fight means a big set
back for the unfortunate one, as a
number of good money making
matches are in sight for the winner
before out of town clubs and be-
sides Barrett has promised to bring
jeff Smith here to meet the winner,
so it is a cinch that there will be
very little idle time lost when these
two warriors start hostilities.
AS Joe has started negotiations
with Sammy Schiff to meet the win
ner of the other star bout between
Young Russell and Harry Ochs, these
two will also let little grass grow
under their feet. In fact all the bat
tiers are promised a chance on the
next card if they win. Black Gum
boat Smith will meet Tommy Cole
man, Nat 1saacman, Eddie Loeckner;
Sam Lavery, will open with Bud
Fahringer.

Captain Vogelin, Central High;

to its rapidly growing fame. March
IA is the date proposed for the bat
tie.
On to Reading
"On to Reading"is the cry at Tech
where Coach Miller is laying plans
to trounce the Berks county lads. If
Tech opens up an artillery fire on
Reading like it did on Lebanon the
second half, they will lombard the
Reading baskets with a sufficient
number of field goals to land the
contest. 1t is the belief that no high
school player can stop Captain Lin
gle's dribbling, without committing
a foul. Bud" should take the ball
down the floor more in this manner.
If Wilsbach can be used in this game
it will add lots of strength to the
team. One of the most dangerous
men on the Reading team is Fried
man at center. A large crowd or
rooters will go along.

Baseball as a spring sport is going
to get another boost, according to.
the meeting that was scheduled to
take place after school this after
noon. At that time it was proposed
TO discuss plans for the financing of
the project and also to elect a man
ager. Four games have already been
booked for the nine and after a
lapse of four years from the dia-
mond, it is thought that baseball
would again be successful. Very like
ly vaudeville will be staged to
finance the proposition.
While Lansford High school,
champions of the coal region, have
been booked for March IA. it is un-
derstood that if Tech can secure the
Philadelphia All-Scholastics for
contest on that night, the coal region
lads will be INVITED to play on a
later date.
The pick of the Philadelphia High
school teams has been assembled
and they are going to barnstorm the
state. Just what caliber Tech really
is would to put to a great test, as
three of the Philadelphia captains
are on the quintet.

eight team leagues will be formed

Businessmen have promised to

pied within the past several
years.

the method now in use of marking
highways with various colord bands
about the telephone poles has not
proved satisfactory because the
markings generally are failure,
from the standpoint of beauty, and
very often fail from the standpoint
of utility. Those responsible fol
placing such marks often have dis.
regarded rules and at many &
corner the traveller is in quand
ary as to which road to take. Night
travellers are easily led astray. fol
the painted bands cannot be seer
in the darkness. If these highway.
were studded with hardy ornament
al shade trees, the traveller could
by merely keeping between the
rows of trees. rest in the assuranc,
OF safety that he is on the righ
road.
