Franklin and Marshall
Hires Jack Deal to
Coach Its Ball Team

Announcement is made that the
board of athletic directors would en-
courage and boost all athletics at
Franklin and Marshall College to
the best of their ability. Prior to
this, athletics were almost at a
standstill, partly because of the war
and partly because of lack of inter-
est The board of athletic directors
has definitely decided to back all
athletics, the important branches of
winch VIII be football, track and
baseball. Nothing was said of terms,
The college is fortunate to have
engaged Jack Deal, veteran dia-
mond star and former Tri-State
player, to coach the baseball team.
This is probably the first time the
institution can boast of having a real
baseball coach. Prior to this foot
ball coaches have tried to coach this
branch of sport. Deal knows the
national game from start to finish.
He played with the Lancaster Tri-
State team under Hogan when it
succeeded in winning the pennant.
Coach Deal has already issued a
call for battery candidates to report
at the gymnasium every evening for
practice in warming up their arms
and to loosen up stiff muscles. AS
soon as the weather permits, prac-
tice will start outside. Il is hard to
state just when the official call is
made. Trier, an outtielder; Hen
ME" Marshall, catcher and Borda,
an infielder, are the only veterans.
Around these men the new team
will be formed. A good team is as
sured, as there is an abundance of
material in college to choose from.

Dauphin-Perry League
Starts to Organize
For Present Season

A call for the annual meeting
of the Dauphin-Perry baseball
league has been issued by the sec
retary, G. b. Smith, of Marys-
Vile. The meeting will be held
on Wednesday evening at $50
o'clock in the Shenk and Title
sporting goods store, 200 Market
street, Harrisburg. Officers will
be elected for the ensuing year
and business pertaining to the
1919 season, transacted. Secre-
tary Smith has issued an urgent
request that each of the six towns
holding franchises IN the league,
have representatives present to
make plans for the reorganlza-
ton.
The league was inactive last
wear because of war conditions,
after having been in operation for
three successive seasons during
which time a. high-grade of ball
was displayed.
Newport, Millersburg, Duncan
non and Marysville are consider
cd as certain quantities in the
reorganized league and there are
possibilities that Dauphin and
Halifax. too, will fall in line.
In case, however, these two
towns do not wish to maintain an
organization in the league TINS
year, there will be no difncuity IN
presenting q six-club circuit II the
leaders wish such a body. Mifflin
and Lewistown, two towns along
the main line of the Pennsylvania
railroad, are said to be anxious
to secure berths, and New Cum
berland and Hershey have been
quoted as being desirous of fran
chises.

wishes to hereby announce that it
is to the public in general to
whom they are catering. They
have the best equipped club in
Central Pennsylvania, one of the

will not conflict with-other shows,
those of the Motive Power and

starter, Barrett's bouts the other
evening proved that Steelton
will support good sparring and
the only question now is where
can they be staged. An arena is
badly needed and the hope is that
the Steel Company will take
. hand in this just as as it did in
establishing big league baseball.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS
 BALK UP IN RUSSIA
Drafted Men Express Aversion. to Fighting Against BoIshcviki
 Forces in Archangel

Archangel, Wednesday, April 9. (By The Associated Press "A company of American troops recently showed some hesitation in returning to the fighting front south of Archangel, declaring that the war with Ger many was over and that the United States was not at war with the Bol- sheviki. The regimental commander told them they were fighting 8 des- perate defensive battle and appealed to them to stick it out. The company then left for the front,
 The situation arose when the com pany named was ordered back to the front after a rest period at Archangel. The officers were informed that the men did not want to go to the front again. They asked to have their ar gum ents answered.
 The men contended that they were draft men conscripted for the war with Germany which was finished now, that America was not at war with the Bolsheviki, that the entire Bolsheviki question was the subject of much political debate and so far as they were concerned they were un- able to see why they should be fight ing if there was no war.
 The regimental commander said that, perhaps, their own lives de- pended on the fighting on this front and then made his successful appeal. reciting to the men traditions of the Ame merican army.
 This incident was only the outcrop- ping of what seems to be the general feeling among the American troops, officers as we'll as men. Because of the feeling, it is admitted more or less generally that the troops now here probably will be of little use after June i.
 In official circles in Archangel there is no disposition seriously to blame the troops for this condition. On their arrival in North Russia last September, the Americans were keen fighting the BoIsheviki, who, they had been told were German agents. They have fought bravely throughout the campaign and they are still doing so.
 However, since the armistice with Germany was declared, the soldiers have been subjected to constant Bol- shevik propaganda, which, together with their desire to return home aft CT the end of the var for which they were drafted and the hardships and loneliness of the Arctic winter has caused them to lose their spirits.
 Meanwhile, they have had no off cial statement from the government to answer Bolshevik propaganda, and no American in Archangel is in 3, po- sition to tell them officially what they are fighting for.

MANY ARE KILLED AS
 STORM RAzES HOUSES
Death Toll Reaches Hun dred Mark in South
 western Tornado.

Dallas, Texas, April 10.-One hun dred known dead had been listed as victims of the tornado which yester- day struck northern Texas southern Oklahoma and parts of Arkansas, when order began to form today from the chaos caused by the storm.
 The injured, some of them so badly hurt that they cannot recover, are eX- pected to number several hundred. The property damage, while it Will run into many thousands of dollarS' will be smaller than expected, as the path of the storm avoided all pflllcl- pal cities, striking only farm houses and smaller villages. Last nlght the homeless were cared for. by their neighbors. The storm in it's errauc course did not deyastate any entlre regions, often leaving several houses untouched and then dipping in ana demoIishing the next few homes. The temperature dropped to freezing along the northern line of counties after the storm.
 The counties most seriously dam aged were Grayson, Fannln, Hunt, Wood, Van Zandt, Wichita, kolln, Ramp and Titus in Texas, and Bryan, Colton and Pontotoc in Oklahoma. The oil fields of Wichita county and of southern Oklahoma suffered hun dreds of thousands of dollars damage in wrecked derricks and machinery.
 The hour at which the storm struck probably caused the high death rate. Nearly all of the houses destroyed contained sleeping people. In most cases the first the occupants heard of the storm was when the walls crash ed down upon their beds.
