CEL|BATE'S KIN
SEEK 100000

ATLANTIC CITY. N. j.. March
20.-Some of the hudnreds of
descendants Of August L. Lauten-
schlager, who took an oath of
celibacy somewhat more than a
century ago and imposed a SINH
lar vow upon his children, will
have an opportunity April % to
prove their right to shares in a
$500,000 estate left by Sophia
Lautenschlager, who died April
18. 1880
In spite of the oath taken py
the earliest American Lauten-
schlagers, they turned out to be
o fruitful lot, quick at multiplied
ton and their number, many of
whom have changed the spelling
of their name, is estimated at
$50 at least and possibly 1000.
Former Governor Frank o. Low
den, of Illinois, is said to be a
member Of the clan, though no
claim has been filed in his be-
half.
August L. Lautenschlager,
founder of the American family,
came to Pennsylvania in 1904.
He settled in Zeilinople. Mr..
LautenSchlager. a widower with
five children, became profoundly
impressed by the preachings of
the Rapp Colony, a leading tenet
of whose doctrines was celibacy.
He Joined the colony, taking the
oath of celibacy himself and re-
quiring his children to do like
wise.
It turned out that celibacy was
not exactly what his soul needed
after all. A young widow who
was a member of the colony felt
likewise about it and they eloped
to Harmony. Pa, where they
were married, moving to Phila-
delphia later. They had several
children and celibacy became a
forgotten art among the Lauten-
SchlagerS.

BUSINESS HOPEFUL
. OF BASKET CROWN
Aims to Further Ambition by
Avenging Defeat by Gen.
trail Tomorrow.

HY tomorrow night Business Highs
K fighting basket ball team has
- high hopes of being tied with
Eastern for first place in the
wild fight for the nag in the public
high school championship series. The
Stenogs, who thus far have won three
games and lost two in the series and
are visioning their first court champion
ship since 1915, will engage Central in
the final game of the usual double
header tomorrow afternoon In the Tech
gymnasium.
Tech and Western viii face in the
opening match, starting at $3.50 o'clock.
Central defeated Business, 20 to 20,
in their firSt-round game, but the
StenogS are hopeful of getting back at
the Columbia Heights boys despite that
they no longer have Bobbie Lucas, their
crack little forward, who has graduated.
Hopeful Of having their defeat last
Friday at the hands of Tech erased or
being awarded victory over the Gray
in view of Techs use of Everett John
son, claimed to have been ineligible
when the game was played, Central was
prepping hard today for the encounter
with Business Should the Tech game
be thrown out or awarded to Central
the Blue must still be considered in the
pennant fight.
1t was expected that some announce
ment concerning what would be done
about the Central-Tech game would be
forthcoming today.
Should the Central game be thrown
cut Techs record will be wins against
8 defeats, while If the tilt Is awarded
Central the Gray will have 2 victories
against 4 defeats which would MT II
in tie with Western and out of the
pennant picture, save for the remote
possibility of finishing in flve-way tie.
At that, though, the Tech-Western
encounter probably will be interesting
The Gray overcame the Georgetowners,
% to "a, and the latter will be hot
after revenge, while Tech has no desire
to sink further In the race.
Eastern, though idle in the title
series, will not loaf tomorrow, being
down for a game with st. Johns on
the latter's floor at $3.50 o'clock.

TIME lowly Phillies have put
over a fast one on the rest
of the clubs of the National
League by taking Russell
(Buzz) Arlett, heavy swinging out
fielder, from the Oakland team
of the Pacific Coast League in
a transaction apparently put
through on the @. T. The price
Of the transfer was not revealed
The Phils now may not feel the loss
of the hitting Lefty O'Doul SC
badly.
In taking Arlett, the Philadelphians
have acquired a player who has been
more secuted and more talked about
than any man in the Pacific Coast
League. OF all the major scouts, there
Is probably not one who has not taken
a peep at Arlett. There have been all
kinds Of reports about him.
He's a Big Fellow.
Each scout has had his own idea
as to the future of Arlett, yet he
never got away from the West Coast
scouts were afraid to recommend him.
They thought he might not hold his
own in major league company because
he is a large man and not as speedy
as Splinter.
Arlett weighs 21O pounds, which is
some heft. He carries his weight on
light feet He might not take a prize
for dancing, but he would easily win
one for grace compared to actual
poundage.
Major scouts have said that Arlett
could not bat major league pitching
Joe Devine of Oakland says he can and
Devine's opinion is worth as much or
more than the opinion of any individual
scout in the East Devine is one of
the most competent base ball men on
the Pacific Coast and one of the best
judges Of young ball players living west
of the Rocky Mountains He found
Cronin for Pittsburgh, which made a
mistake and let Crcnin go. when he
should have been held at least three
years longer. Cronin finally brought
up in washington in 1880 and made
that team another organization.
A Natural Batsman.
Out on the coast Artlett has batted
we'll over $50 in all of the years that
He can bat 1925 in the major leagues.
He is a natural hitter. There is no
doubt as to that Scouts admit it, but
insist that he is a batter of Pacific
Coast pitchers and net of those Of the
major leagues. There is not such a
great difference between some of the
major pitching and the Pacific Coast
pitching. That fact has been lost sight
of when scouts have been making their
piIgrimages TO the coast.
The lowest Arlett ever has batted
10 1923, in 1924. and the highest, 1892, In
1926. Evidently he Is perfectly nat
ura1 800 batter The Phillies will have
Klein, ArleSs, Roster, Bricken and Lee
for their outheld in 1881 and the other
managers in the National League had
better keep their eyes on them because
they can come through with the bat.
They may be little lame in fielding,
but not with the stick.

for the lightweight champion
ship, faces his toughest opposi-
ton tonight in engaging King Tut, q
rough-swinging young man of Mime
apolis. in a 1o-round battle In the ST.
Paul Auditorium.
Defeat for Petrolle, especially
knockout, will force the Fargo Express"
of the main line and finish one Of the
most remarkable comebacks in boxing
history. It was Tut who forced Petrolle
into retirement 10 months ago after adj
ministering a severe beating to him in
Detroit ring.
But Petrolle, after a few months rest
decided on a comeback His sensational
victories over Tony CanZoneri, present
world lightweight champion, and Jimmy
McLarnin have made him an out

title.

The show promises to be the biggest
thing pugilistically staged in the North

ODowd fought for the middleweight

Petrolle, before accepting the match
demanded a guarantee of $4,000 win,
lose or draw, and forced Tut to weigh
140 pounds at o'clock this afternoon
The weight question was an important
issue because of doubt that Tut could
make lao pounds and retain his
strength.
Tut, however tipped 141 pounds yes
