Tatooed on both cheeks with

the Motive Power show last night,
put up savage fight against Allen

was out" by any means. He could
have stuck on quite time, but the
cuts bothered him and Dundee de-
served the shade for continually
leading. Dundee came out clean and
grinning and proved very good at
traction at a show. notable for its
grotesque stunts.
The first of these had the filed

laughter. proving that boxing is one

athletes OF the day. il not Of all
time.
AS in other cities many ladies are
expected to form part of the au-
dience. Wrestling is such a clean
and scientific exhibition of an athletic
art that it holds a strong appeal to
the suffragettes, peace-loving or
militant variety and an orderly
house will make them feel at home
during the bout.
Baumann. himself, will act as ref
cree. He is one Of the best-known
third men at the game known in the
country and rather than take a
chance with someone unknown both
contestants readily agreed to the
former sergeant who taught both
wrestling and in-fighting at Camp
Dix, n. j., during the war.
In one of the early matches Bau-
mann intends to give an exhibition
of the kind of hand-to-han fight
ing taught in the service. as it is
readily adapted to the individual as
a means of self-defense far superior
to boxing. Baumann so simplified the
system that it could be put over in
ten lessons of an hour each and in
such a way that the doughboys could
take care of themselves under all
conditions they encountered when
not armed.
Advance seats for next Tuesday s
big match can be secured at Harry's
cigar store opposite the Penn-Harris
Hotel and at Schenk and Tillie sport
ing goods store.

Bobby Williams who fought Billy
adelphia, looked to be ten pounds
heavier, but this did not dismay Will
liams, who is clever and bided his
time. Waiting until the sixth and put
ting up n fight interesting every
second. the lighter man shot out his
left clean to the jaw and down went
Segal for fair.
The star bouts were those of the
Dundee-Philips and McCarron-
Marks. Joe McCarron always makes
a hit here and last night Marks. the
Phantom Hebrew, made a lot of
friends by his fast work and sports
nanlike actions. The battle was even
all the way, neither man having the
finishing blow.
The Dundee Philips bout had the
fans going from tap of gong. Philips
looked heavier, but Dundee has a
peculiar form in the-ring. the prime
part of which is to keep after your
man. He forced the fighting all the
way but he did not have to chase
Philips. The deep cuts of the latter's
face would have blinded him even
tually and the decision rightly goes
to the Allentown hurricane.
An event of the evening was a col
lection for Jimmy Dunn, the blind
fighter who in his time met the best
of them. In a fight with Young Ty
Cobb rosin got into his eyes and
completely blinded him. He was a
pathetic sight standing in the ring
helpless. The railroaders responded
generously.

REAL CHAMP COMING
Coal Region Tossers Have Wonderful Record-Percy

the Event

Technical High schools basket
ball quintet will have a real test at
Chestnut Street Hall when they
meet Lansford High school, cham
pions of the coal region. They have
u record of having won 21 out of "a
games this season. and two of these
losses were to teams of the Amer
lean League of Philadelphia, who
are classed with quintets like the
Harrisburg Independents.
No team in years has come to
Harrisburg with the record Lans-
ford boasts of. The visitors doubled
the score on Reading, whom Tech
nosed out by one point. The coal
region lads are real champions, and
Tech will have to win Friday night
to have undisputed possession of the
premier place in basketball of the
State. Tech outclassed all elevens
in football and the Maroon expects
to do the same in the cage game.
Undoubtedly the largest crowd of
the season will be on hand to see
this champion outfit. Lebanon has
been the only team, outside .of the
Alumni, to give the Tech lads a real
battle. As preliminary, the Juniors
and Seniors will play an inter-class

DEMPSEY WILL LICK WILLARD" SAYS HIS ARRNG PARTNER WHO FIGHTS TOG
Herman Miller Is Chosen
Dempsey's Sparring Partner
Middieweg Yorkghter Starts For Training Camp After
Meeting Wolgast Tonight at Steeton

A conspicuous figure last evening
at the Motive Power fight was Her
man Miller, middle weight star, who
will meet Johnny wolgast this eve
ming in the Steelton Standard Theater
exhibition which Is being staged un-
der the management OF Joe Barrett.
Miller was briefly introduced; ap-
pearing just long enough to convince
the critics that Jack Dempsey is
making no mistake in taking this
York pugilist for his chief sparring
partner. The wire came from Demp-
last evening for a contract of $500 a
week to spar with the demon right
up until the day he tackles Willard.
Miller will be on his way TO Pitts
burgh tomorrow.
II have boxed with Dempsey" he
explained this morning, as he worked
out for his fight tonight, "and 1 be-
lieve he will put Willard away. Very
Few persons have come in close con-
tact with Dempsey and naturally the
opinion is that Willard will have the
best OF 1t.
Dempsey is going to fight the big
fellow just as he fights everybody
else. I do not think you can call
Jack a great boxer. He is a natural
born fighter. He shifts quick as a
nash and accurately. He can knock
any man cold with blow of no more
than six inches. No matter how clever
Willard is he cannot keep away from
this fellow. In a number of sparring
bouts with him he never hit hard
as he could; he holds back, but you
hardly know IT. With everything in
his punch nobody could stand up
long. He takes care of himself
From information have received
it looks to me as though the fight

gress in training and how Dempsey

that he will win from Zby szko. Iran

Sportsmen around the city seem to
think that the story of the match
resolves itself into whether or not
the husky Greek can keep himself
out of the toe hold and crotch
clutch grips of the gigantic Pole. If
he is able to evade Zbyszko tying him
up with his pet holds it is figured
that Madras has an even chance of

Hhe Board of commissioners of

popular thing-in the estimation of
the people of the southeast section of
the county at any rate-than to take
the initiative in attempting to secure
a bridge across the Flint river on the
Americus- Leslie-Cordele highway
Much as the Sumter-Dooly brge was
needed and as valuable as it's many
people believe and with apparent good
reason, that bridge at Flintside
would be used vastly more than that
on the Vienna road.
That the construction of such
bridge would prove popular also in
Crisp county is indicated by the Cor

was set on foot ere last Monday.

are the citizens Of Cobb, DeSoto, Les

county adjacent to the river where
this bridge is needed.

ONE MORE VEAzY DISCLOSURE

| ONE MORE VEAZY DISCLOSURE
The grand jury just closing the
work of the session of Bibb superior
court in Macon has in the published
| presentments laid bare a deplorable
situation at one of the orphanges in
that city. This body of men went out
! to perform their duty under require
ment of the Weary act which requires
as a chief duty that they investigate
all Catholic institutions and find
whether therein are young women de-
| tanned and minstreated against their
wishes. This grand jury went out to
fulfill this duty and came back with
Q report that HepZibah Orphange, an
institution with which the Catholics
have nothing to do as church organ
ization, sould be handled at once in
in way that will relive terrible con-
ditions.
The grand jury found the poor
little children actually infested with
vermin, found some of them suffer
ing from pellagra, may be due to lack
of sustaining food, and the whole in
stitution actually living on less than
twenty cents a day for each preson!
What do the weaker get? We are OBJ
liged to belive that there is an un-
equal distribution OF the food supply
What the Bibb county grand jury
found to be true in the exercise of
their duty under the Weary act, has
been more or less true at this in
stitution for several years.
If we know the people of Macon
this orphanage will not remain in
this direful condition long when they
get hold of it. What the grand jury
says about this institution remainds
us of starving Armenia or Syria, and
we know the effort will be immediate
and strong to relieve this hunger
and uncleanliness. 1t will not end at
an effort. Relief will come forthwith.
But there is ground for being thank
full that the Weary law sends out such
bodies of men to find what is really
the condition in such Institutions.
The humane need at home is great
often where we least suspect and we
have to admit that the Weary law
makes this disclosure possible.
We are not looking for the grand
jury in any county to find young wo-
men. imprisoned at any Catholic in

strained. There may be other heart
breaking disclosures, and for that
found by the Bibb grand jury, let that
community be thankful. The Catholics
will forget their resentment and join
other citizens in relieving pitiable
conditions laid bare by this body of
men. There may come yet great
deal of good from the Weary law.
