the feature of the game, holding
Mercersburg to three hits and fan

good chance to score in the first in

was there threat of violence, at no
time was the playing field invaded.
To be perfectly candid, what was
there to be gained by a riot when
the score was in our favor and run
ming higher every time some Tech
star spilled the beans?
"As to the one questionable de-
cision by the umpire I submit the
following as fair statement of the
fact:
Second and third bases were oc-
cupied by Hanover players and no
one out. The batter bunted the ball
down the third base line. We have
a turf diamond with peeled sprint
ing path. The ball was Zigzagging in
the path and the third baseman at
tempted to make a play of it. He
failed to handle the ball; but, never
theless, touched it with his hand.
He then wished the umpire to take
his word as to where he first touch
ed the ball and call it a foul. Is
it not usual for the third baseman
to let the ball stop rolling or else,
when sure it is q foul, to place his
hand on it and hold it to the place
until the umpire comes near enough
to give n decision? Can he expect
to play the ball and then in case of
failure raise howl and have ev-
erything restored to the status quo
ante"

OKEEFE RAILROAD BALL PLAYERS BEAT MRCERSBRG
''Sammy'' Schiff Outpointed
O'Keefe: Will Meet kilbane

The fiercest encounter of the
evening was between Billy Morton
and Ralph Leedy, both Harrisburg
boys. No such battling has been
seen here this season. They fought
like two lunat!cs, never resting;
just slap, bang. Leedy had the
reach, and, if someone taught him
him to use his left, like a Corbett,
he would succeed better. AS it was,
Morton, also using his left toward
the end of the third round, ham
mered Leedy to a pulp and knocked
him cold in 2.40 of that round.
Young Mahoney, of Baltimore,
was a favorite the moment he
stepped into the ring. The referee
announced his weight at 125 and
that of Ed. Loechner. of I1ancas-
ter, as 1870 pounds. This was not
the fact, for the latter stripped at
140; but Loechner, a substitute,
took the place of Graney at the very
last moment and, instead of being
Missed, he should have been ap-
plauded for responding so that the
program was not busted. Young
Mahoney got the decision on this
ten-round bout; he went through
with ease and precision, for he is
accustomed to that route. This lad
is a fine boxer, better than I@oech-
ner; but does not have the hard
blow of the Lancaster man.
Billy Hinton announced show
at York, in the Central A. c., April
25, the main bout being 'twixt Del
Furlow and Johnny McGill.

One of the most exciting boxing
shows seen in this neighborhood
1atly was staged by Joe Barrett at
Stselton last night, when Sammy
Schiff made good, getting the de-
cision on his ten-round bout with
Otto O'Keefe. Schiff is now the
man who should be matched here
with Johnny Kilbane.
Schiff looked better than any
time he has appeared in Harris
burg, having taken on four or five
pounds in hard training. O'keefe
was somewhat handicapped with
four boils, a matter which would
discourage anyone but a regular
Dugilist. The boils may have had

0ther Nr ses. Schiff had something

SampiyS responsibility to make the
running. lie took no chances and
his LETT lead landed often, but never
with any great force. If Schin
could master a hard blow with this
left and land it, he would be q
very hard person to beat, but, as 1t
Is, Kilbane Will find him no easy
mark. Billy Hinton, the York pro-
moter and veteran pugilist, refereed
all the bouts and his work was high
GLASS. He introduced as an amuse-
1nent two little boys, Harry Buff
1ington and Delmar Burlington,
whose father was a fourth man in
the ring. The kids are brothers, and
they boxed four rounds, vastly to
the amusement of spectators.

use of the word navy or naval in the
titles Of public or commercial organ

Daniels and Colonel Thompson of the

months back in which Thompson. did
not come out second best. It has
been suggested that Mr.. Daniels is
now trying to ct even with the Navy
League by destroying its name and

cause Of its excellent service to the

comes apparent that Mr.. Daniels does
not believe that life is too short for
any system of revenge.
