This reversal will undoubtedly put the Leabonites out of the running. Reading trimmed Allen town easily at the Lehigh county seat, and Tech will have to do the same. As It now looks Tech and Reading will wind up the year with 10 victories and 2 defeats. 9 Lebanon is able to win many of her contests through the wonderful ability of Quinn to pitch the fouls. Miller is also one of the best players In the league.

At Reading is Nyquist and a better high school player is hard tofiml anywhere. Freidman is a heavy scorer. But with Tech the team is a well rounded bunch of seasoned players and there is no reason in the world why the same team should not repeat last year's performance and land the pennant in the Central Penn league. Tech's players stand well in the percentages when it is taken into consideration that each of the playjrrs is used for the duration of one Half and then a substitution is made.

TAK6S HlS UFe IN HIS CBASSlM' f0 WtU HRe i CHANS I Leonard Is Trimmed by Willie Ritchie "Benny" Leonard, lightweight champion pugilist of the whole world, got the jolt of his fair young life at San Francisco from "WlUie Ritchie, in the presence of 12,000 excited spectators, the great bulk of whom agreed that Leonard got all the worst of it.

To day Leonard is out with another challenge, saying that he is "dissatisfied with the outcome of the bout," and wants a return en gagement for a longer fight. In some ways it was the most un common and amazing four round ficrht ever seen. Ritchie, who never was lacking in errav brain matter, sprung a surprise by walking into the ring in perfect condition, when it generally was the belief he would not train for the event. He must have taken off at least ten pounds and tipped the beam at 140 Vi. While Leonard's weight was not announced, he seemed to be well trained and apparently was about 138.

On the theory that Ritchie would be fat and out of form there was consid erable betting on the proposition that the Calirornian wouia net last tne limit, far as the fight was concern ed it was a thrilling encounter, full of ct inn evprv minute and seesawed in a way that put the onlookers on pins and needles. p.itrhio took awav the breath or tne spectators in the very first session by the aggressiveness aispiayea. tie rushed at the champion as if to annihilate biin, and had all the better of the two opening rounds. In Leonard behalf it was set forth that he is not accustomed to the four round eame, and, therefore, he did not get his stride until the fourth, Ritchie sent dangerous right hand shots at Leonard in every round, many of them grazing the champion's chin, but in the third the Californian connected with Leonard's left eye, which ins tantly developed a "mouse" and soon was nearly closed. This feat on the part of Ritchie brought the spectators to their feet, and many of the local admirers expressed the opinion he would stop the When Leonard came out for the fourth round he seemed to realize that he had been outpointed and that he would have to score a knockout in order to earn the decision.

The champion, therefore, started in with a fine assortment of hooks and jabs, and as Ritchie was more than willing to meet the issue, the round was a furious slugging match. Leonard's ring generalship was called Into play and he feinted Ritchie into making a rush and then met him on the chin with a right that knocked the Californian groggy. Ritchie was so dazed by the blow that he was compelled to cover. Leonard sprang like a panther on his opponent and rained blows at head and body, but Ritchie's gleves saved his jaw. Toward the close of the round Ritchie got his head partly cleared, hut he was rather shaky as he went to his corner.

Interesting Ruling on Water Companies The Public Service Commission In an opinion handed down in the complaint of the borough of Kane against the Spring Water Company, directs the company to file within thirty days a schedule of rates which will produce an annual revenue of $30,708, to be effective April 1 and to buy from the borough within a year the fire hydrants owned by the borough and used in its sen ice.

The commission issued a detailed, statement of engineering studies, show ing a reproduction valuation of 1199,713.63, holding that there is an element of value insuring in the property from which the company draws its supply which should be recognized over and above what the property originally cost. "The pumping plant appears to be efficient and any lack of proper pressure for fire service must result from want of proper operation" says the report "The commission will not make any order at this time relative to the pressure for fire service. If in the future there should be Inadequate pressure, the attention of the commission may be called thereto."
