Waynesboro Out For
Swell Ball Team

WaynesborO, Pa, March 1s.-
Waynesboro will be well represent
ed in the baseball world during the
season according to the
plans worked out at very largely
attended meeting of fans and per-
sons to play on the club here and
others interested in the game at the
Y. NJ. c. A. building, last night.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Waynesboro teams never have play
ed with many professional clubs OF
the Valley, it is the intention this
season to take on both professional
and semi-professional teams. no
matter what part of the country
they come from--whether it is Il
challenge from Hagerstown, Fred
erick or Cham bersburg. They ex-

be second to none as ball players in

Those interested in the organiz-
ing of team are confident the
Waynesboro fans will appreciate
their efforts along this line and give
all the support possible to the new
organization.

With Trenton Against

Harry Hough, who was the
worlds greatest basketball play
er, will appear here Saturday
night with his Trenton Club.
The team is exactly the same
that defeated the locals last sea-
son. The Trenton team did not
organize until late in this season
on account of some of the play
ers being in the service. The To-
cal management had Rookwood
scheduled for this Saturday, but
due to illness and an accident to
one of the players the Rookwood
management was forced to post
pone the game until Saturday
one week.
The visitors will have their
regular forwards in the game,
Barlow and Hargraves. who are
two of the fastest floor men that
ever entered the cage. Slim
Lloyd will be in his regular po-
sition at center. Davis and the
premier Harry Hough will cover
the local forwards.

HERMAN MILLER SHADES WOLGAST AT SETON STANDARD EAR TOO SINAI
Boxing Puts SteeltOn
On the Sporting Map

Stripped to his undershirt, his
rubbed arms tatooed, veteran of
the ring who met many of the great
ones in his time, namely, Joe Bar
rett. now of York, put Steelton on
the boxing map last night at the
Standard Theater. the house being
jammed to the gunwales and hum
dreds turned away. Steelton evident
ly is strong for the manly art which
is on the eve of being handled by
Uncle Sam so that the nation will
have millions of boxers where there
are now dozens.
The population of the steel city
appeared to realize this by generous
patronage which included many in
fluential men who work for the big
plant. After the battles there was
some comment that the plant should
do more for its workmen in the way
of providing an arena where the en-
ployes can gambol, such as the rail-
readers have in the Motive Power
building.
Being the first show of it's kind for
many a day at Steelton, Joe Barrett
has cause for congratulations as the
night went off clean and lively; the
bouts following in rapid style and
the activity being good class con-
sdering that many of the fighters
were novices. John O'Donnell made
hit with his refereeing, separating
the men briskly and not permitting
any tircsome hanging on. Barrett,
himself. was third man with the two
star boxers, Herman Miller and
Johnny Wolgast.
This was a rafting good fray and
Miller was very busy with the
brother of Ad. but the bulk of spec
tators figured that Miller hit harder
and showed a shade the better. VOL

Every. wrestling fan in town is
asking whether Valdez Zbyszko,

Iran Madras, at Chestnut Street Hall
next Tuesday night, is the world
champion.
BY no means. The wrestling cham

But our friend with the Bolsheviki

tackles Stranger Lewis the world
will know more of the truth. Lewis
defeat of Stecher at Chicago recent
ly helped some in solving the ques-
ton.
For the past two years the vari-
Gus contenders for the heavyweight
championship have been the princi-
pals in a sort of round robin tourna-
ment which extended all over the
country, but no progress was made
toward the creation of a recognized
title holder until Lewis subdued the
Nebraska farm boy with his dead
deadlock, supplemented by n body
scissors.
Lewis and Zbyszko met a year
ago and the latter was accused of a
foul in avoiding Lewis famous head
lock. Sergeant Bauman, who is ham
ding the big show here said to-day
he is almost certain to have Strang-
Ter Lewis appear here shortly, so
the fans will have a chance to see
both men. The third likely person
is Earl Caddock, of Des Moines, not
yet returned from abroad. and the
championship must be worked out
among these three.
Under the circumstances no bet
ter match could have been arranged
by Sergeant Bauman for his first
show here. Madras, the Greek cham
pion, is one of the comers in the
game and already has victories over

Tells Aims of Animal
tuberculosis Fight

Washington, March 13.-The ac-
credited herd plan of eradicating
animal tuberculosis will be carried
on until practically all pure-bred
herds of cattle in the United States
are under State and Federal super
vision, says DR.. J. A. Kiernan, chief
of the tuberculosis eradicating divi-
sion, bureau of animal industry.
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
When all purebred herds are un-
der supervision, DR.. Kiernan said, it
will be possible for cattle raisers
to purchase animals from other
states with the assurance that they
will receive cattle that may be in
troduced with perfect safety SO far
as tuberculosis is concerned. In
addition to the accredited herd plan,
the tuberculosis campaign will be
carried on in circumscribed areas
comprising one or more counties.
The disease will be eliminated from
cattle and swine in such areas and
the campaign will be extended until
it takes in the entire State.

Havana, Cuba, Wednesday, March

mcnt given to the Associated Press
tonig declared that his fight with
Jess Willard in this city four years
ago was Il pre-arranged affair and
that he allowed Willard to win. In
addition to the sum of $4,000, ep-
tire rights TO the moving picture
films in Europe and 33 Ia per cent.
of the proceeds from their eXhi-
bition in the United States and Can
ada are mentioned by Johnson. to-
gether with the promise of aid to
settle Johnson's difficulties with the
Federal authorities in Chicago SO
that the Colored pugilist might re-
turn there to reclaim his property
and see his mother.
Johnson declares in his statement
that it was arranged that he should
lose in the tenth round, provided
Wizards showing was such as to
justify it, but that as Willard was
doing practically nothing, he was
forced to wait. The signal agreed
upon was given in the twentieth
round, Johnson states; but he
waited until the twenty sixth round
TO give Willard an opportunity to
make q good showing.
The former champion declares
that unless Willard agrees to fight
him within a reasonable time he
will claim the worlds title. He
signed his statement Jack john

Colonel D'Estralnpes, former Con-
gresham, who is backing Johnson,

the leading grapplers entered the
service. But now with them out
Madras is being satisfied at the first
opportunity by Valdez ZbysZko,
Polish champion, and several times
holder of the worlds title.
Madras feels certain that he can
win over Zbyszko and is leaving no
stone unturned in his training to
bring this about. Zbyszko realizes
he is up against one of the corners
in the game and is determined that
Madras will not catch him unpre-
pared. It can be said of Madras
that at the Greco-Roman style of
wrestling he has no superior in this
country. Whether he has mastered
the atch-as-catch-can style in his
| few years in America in way to
assure him a win over Sbyszko seems
to be the arguments among wrest-
ling men.
The match will attract national at
tention wherever wrestling has a
hold. Every follower of wrestling
will have his eyes on the outcome
of this match for on it depends the
question of whether Zbyszko will
realize his cherished dream of meet
ing Lewis and Caddock and one or
two other men who threaten to take
the title during the short season
remaining this year.

ing this match. will hold one in this
city every two weeks. It would not

speakers claiming to represent the
entire labor movement in West Nir-

Only two propositions were consid-

the re-enactment Of the deputy

men claim will provide all the po-
lice protection required in the state.
The second was for employers to re-
move all restrictions on organization
