Fore! Is the Familiar
Cry at the Opening of
Reservoir Golf Season

The bright, dazing sun shone down
this morning on a sight to make the
golfer fairly bubble with joy, the
Reservoir Park links. all green and in
perfect condition, inviting the en-
thusiasts,- for this was the official
opening day set by the Harrisburg
Park Golf Club. Veterans. who would
far rather golf than dine on the fat
of the land, gathered early and the
prospects for the season is more
attractive than ever before. Robert
Fairhairn, the club professional, did
not try to conceal his satisfaction in
what has been done during the fine
weather to perfect these links; among
other improvements being a lengthen-
ing of the third and eighth holes.
1t is expected that Reservoir links
will be an animated scene for months
to come, and at all hours, because a
number of men who do night work
are out there as early as a. m.
Two indefatigable veterans are DR..
Ellis n. Kremer and Chris Sauers.
There is no doubt but that golf at
these links will be a great feature of
city sport. now that the war is ever.
and the club members contemplate
pulling Off something new in the way
of tournaments.

Tech Nine Blows Up
to Hanover, Losing
Its First Game, 81

The Tech baseball nine discov-
cred yesterday at Hanover, where
their High School team won, ST..
that the national pastime has not
been kept up-to-date at Harris
burg's cnterprisinS institution.
Great complaint wns heard to-day
at the umpiring. but that could
not have been poor enough to
cause such a lop-sided score. Tech
started to quit the field in the
eighth when Umpire Pedcoy called
foul ball fair" but finding that
they would not get their guaran-
tee Tech stuck to the finish,
though several times the game
promised to wind up in a riot.
Hanover had the game, 2-1 until
the eighth, with F'ortna and Wise,
the latter a former Blue Riige
twirler. pitching fine ball. Tech
pounded this veteran for IL hits,
so the clubbing eye is OK. although
the timely hit was sadly needed
in this game. 4 main cause Cf
the six-run drive of Hanover in
eighth was Hinkle's sour throw,
which was the last misfortune.
The score:

Another letter received challeng-
ing the winner of the above match
was from Joe CLANCY, brother to
George CLANCY. the knockout king.

in this city for open air bouts,
there will be no limit to the num-
Der of new faces he will introduce
this summer.

Graney. who meets Young Mahoney.
of Baltimore, in Barrett's semi
windup of ten rounds at the next
show, wrote Barrett that he was
surely pleased that the Steelton pro-
nj oter secured MaEoney to meet
Graney. as he was very anxious to
give his protege a real battle. Bel
lew says when Graney met Nate
Isaacman here two weeks ago,
Graney was way off color, but when
he faces Mahoney the Bethlehem
boy will be just right and the Bal
timore boy will have to be all that
is claimed of him to stay the limit.
Barrett would like all the local boys
to send him their weight and ad-
addresses.

JAPS SUSPECT AMERICAN
MISSIONARIES FOR THE
UPRISING IN KORE A
Toxic Government Has Not Yet Arrested Any of Them De-
nes Reports of Atrocities Against the Koreans

New York, April 19.-The Japan
ese government sucpects "one or
two American missionaries of con-
nection with the present uprising
in Korea" but has followed the
most considerate method of dealing
with the matter and has not arrested
a single one of them" according to
an official cable message from Toxic
made public here to-day by Cho-
nosuke Yada, japanese consul gener-
al in New York.
The cablegram denied reports that
at Pingyang "a Japanese soldier
struck an American lady missionary
with the butt end of his gun" or
that at Noburn- -Kawa our soldiers
searched the home of an American
missionary and forced their way in
to the bed room of his Wife" Thor
ough investigation of the Pingyang
incident, the message said, showed
the report originated from the ac-
tion of u Japanese soldier trying to
force back the passage of crowd
with his gun held horizontally"
Tcndo Kyo Blamed
Asserting that the riots have been
sponsored by "one Son Heiki, who is
at the head of a cult called Tendo
Kyo (Heavenly way) and harbors
a mutinous ambition of bringing
about a coup d'etat," the message
continued.
1T is a matter of exceeding regret
that a certain portion of the mis-
sionary body has inspired the sus-
picion that they have indulged in
words and actions susceptible to po-
litical constructions. But the au-
thorities have ever respected the
freedom of faith and at no time
and in no instance have they closed
the churches conducted by the mis-
sionaries. Only those among the
leaders of the Tendo cult and the
Korean missionaries who have had
an intimate connection with the
present rioting have been put under
arrest"
Forced to Riot
The message asserted the reason
certain native Christians and Ko-
rean students had joined the move
ment was because they misinter-
preted the significance of the League
