TO COMPLETE AT READING Coaches Peet and Hill will take a squad of Technical High School track men to Reading Saturday in a final effort to bring back two much coveted trophies offered by the Readlngites in their annual track meet. Tech has two legs on the Joshua Dives trophy and to win again this year will brTng the cup to Tech for permanent possession. This is the third year that it has been contested for and the local aggre- gation is the only team that has won legs on It. After Relay Tropliy Steelton, Lebanon, Norrlstown, Wil- liamsport, Columbia. Ridley Park, Cheltenham, Radnor and West Ches- ter High Schools. Tech is picked as the favorite, although Reading is looked upon to give the locals a hard run before they give up their cups. Beck will have real com- petition in the weight events in Wil- son, of Fadnor High School. This lad tossed the 12-pound shot 47 feet 9% inches. Another cup that will be hotly contested for by the entrants will be the trophy offered to the winner of the relay race. Tech has two legs on this cup, but so have several other schools. Camden High School can get it permanently by winning this year, as they have won twice in previous meets. So does Reading have two legs on it. For nine years it has been fought for, but no one team has been able to win it three times. This Saturday Tech hopes to cop it permanently. Henry Eyster has returned to his studies after having been out for two weeks with tonsilitis. The coaches will try to whip him into shape for the meet. His entry will be good for a number of points in the dashes and 440. Other Competitors Other high schools that will be In the same class as Tech will be Cam- den, Reading, Harrisburg Central, STAGE IS SET FOR BIG MEET City Grammar School Ath- letes to Compete Tomorrow in Championship Event The stage is set for the big gram- mar school athletic classic to-mor- row afternoon at Municipal Field, Island Park. With an enrollment of 250 young athletes, representing thirteen schools, there will be close competition for this season's honors. Yesterday the Foose school sent in the names of twelve athletes. The big meet starts at 2 o'clock. The schools will march to the field. Each school will carry a large flag and there will be an elaborate dis- play of Old Glory.

OVER A 40-YEAR SPAN When the Job on which you're toiling gets your goat; When you curse the grip of poverty and such; When existence seems to have you by the throat As you stagger daily onward in its clutch; When It seems that Fate has nicked you good and hard, When you've only known the run of fortune's shreds, When you figure with a curse, life could offer nothing worse, Weil, suppose that you'd been drafted by the Reds, Old dog. Just suppose that you'd been drafted by the Reds? ? When they have you on the run across the trail; When they copper every bet you try to make; When you start out in the morning, dull and stale. And the boss begins to brand you as a fake; When they double cross or slam you on the bean, Among the under-paids and under-feds, Ere you figure, ever gruffer, life could offer nothing rougher, | Just suppose that you'd been traded to the Reds, I Old dog. Just suppose that you'd been tradod to the Reds? Boston, Philadelphia and Brooklyn in turn dashed out of the rut in 11914, 1915 and 1916 respectively. The Reds were due to round out the I quartet this season, but so far the forty-year curse is still harrassing them |at every turn. They are still wearing bare spots deep in the second division. THE ALL-AROUND CLUB Sir?Among the all-around boys what's the matter with Harold Janvrin, of the Red Sox? I have seen htm play first, second, third and short, and play all four positions well. This should put him up among the first. J. M. J. Sir?ln regard to Charlie Ferguson, who once caught for Virginia UnL versity, I once saw him pitch the first four innings with Philadelphia in faultless style and then go back of the bat and catch the remaining five innings with equal brilliancy. He was a won.der. But did you know that Buck Ewing, the best catcher that ever wore a mask, filled every position on the old New York Nationals? And that George Van Haltren, with New York and Chicago, caught, pitched and played every infield and outfield position during his twenty years? Those were the days when the ball players had the stamina and the stuff. Men. like Buck Ewing, Van Haltren and Mike Kelly could play almost any position on the team well enough to hold the gap. B. L. H. NOT YET? Ty Cobb began his major league career a trifle over twelve years ago. He is now sliding on past thirty. But up to the moment of skidding to press he hasn't yet started sliding down hill. "I have no idea what I'll hit this year," he said a day or so ago, "but I see no reason for any slump until 1 begin, to lose my speed. That means down hill the rest of the way. But as far as I can tell I have been able to get around this spring as well as ever. It's the speed that always goes first?not the batting eye." Last September when Cobb was batting .354 he told us that he ex- pected to finish around .370. His concluding average was .371. He is still confident that he can finish above .350 as he hasn.'t been below this mark in a good many campaigns. DONT'S AND BE'S In behalf of the Senior Service Corps, Walter Camp has extended a brief list of Don'ts and Be's that should e incorporated in every corral, whatever the game?- 1. Don't shirk, don't worry; don't explain.; don't knock; don't kick; don't quit; don't loaf; don't lag. BE ?prompt, alert, quiet, determined, steady, helpful, unselfish, con- siderate, gracious, observant, brave, clean. If this doesn't cover the field there is no particular use in trying. THIRD OR FOURTH "To settle a terrific and growing debate," writes Pip, "do the best hit- ters bat third or fourth I say third, while others say the clean up man is fourth?" We should say third place has the edge. Cobb bats third and so does Tris Speaker, these two being the best hitters in the game. Eddie Collins and Dave Robertson, both bat third, and so does Eddie Roush, the leading hitter of the Reds. But on the Yanks Pipp bats fourth and Baker fifth; Stuffy Mclnnis, the best batsman on the Mackmen, also bats fifth. Joe Jackson bats foueth, and so does Hal Chase. But if there is any margin it is decided in favor of Cobb, Speaker, Collins and Robertson. FROM PLATTSBT'RG We have left the brassie behind; The racquet rests in its frame; We are pointed now in another way. Facing another game. And what may rest ahead No man may know or tell. But we'll hold the slogan we knew of old, The slogan of "Give 'em 'ell." MAYBE?AND MAYBE NOT "You are all wrong about the Red Sox," writes a bystander. "Outside of two or three good pitchers, they don't belong and will be lucky to finish second." Maybe?and then again, maybe not. If a ball club that wins two pennants and two world's series in succession, and then, after a long road trip, returns home in first place, is a bum ball club, just where do the others belong? The Red Sox are frequently rated as a fair club or a poor club, with great pitching. Whereas it is a smart, aggressive, powerful machine even beyond the pitching staff. WELLYS Baseball help is needed. The sooner the better for the good name of Harrisburg as a real live baseball city. President J. H. Farrell is anx- ious to keep Harrisburg jan the map. Once the necessary financial sup- port is forthcoming, thcoc will be no question about Harrisburg's team. The material is there. With new men here and others coming, it wijl not be long until the team Is up in the race. Steelton is sftowing more activity as a baseball town than this city at present. League baseball starts there on Saturday, the Steelton team of the Bethlehem Stee! Company League meets Bethlehem in the opening game. It will be some big event. To-day Susquehanna Univer- sity is playing Shorty Miller's team. Interest is growing stronger in the major legaue race. Both the Na- tionals and Americans are showing fast work. Crowds are reported on the Increase. With nice weather to-morrow the annual grammar school track meet will have a record crowd. Allschools were drilled to-day for marching to- morrow and the young athletes were busy limbering up. An important meeting of the Dau- phin-Perry League Is scheduled for to-night. Representatives will dis- cuss plans for the future and take up grievances. Only one game was played yes- terday In the New York State League. It went five Innings and Wilkes-Barre shut out Reading; score, 3 to 0. In the Lucknow Shop League yes- terday Finfrock pitched another no-hit no-run victory for the Planing Mill. He won out over the Clerks; score, 3 to 0. FUTURE LEAGUE GAME IN DOUBT; FARRELL IS HERE B? 1 PRESIDENT J. H. FARRELL. Future league baseball in Harris- burg is doubtful. President J. H. Farrell of the New York Stace League came to Harrisburg last night, lie is here to do his bit and wants this city to remain on the baseball tnap. Whether President Farrell will be successful as a life-saver depends on his conferences to-day and to-morrow with businessmen. This city is the only one on the Farrell circuit that does not nave an association back of its baseball team. Manager George Cockill, who pur- chased the franchise last season in order to show his loyalty to the city, has stood the burden of expenses and is ready to sell out and quit un- less he gets help. Too many post- ponements have cut down the re- ceipts. Men who have heretofnre si nod by the game will not finance any more baseball enterprises alone. Tliiy art- willing to help if proper organizatior is affected. One week will bo given Harrisburg to decide as to the future. If the proper encouragement 1s not received, President Farrell will ar- range to place the team In some other city. Activity Start* To-day To-day, In company with Manager Georgo Cocklll and several local en- thusiasts, President Farrell rnadd a tour of the business district. Ko wants to find out whether there is sufficient interest In the game to continue. He is of the opinion that Harrisburg will support a team If properly handled. He also believes that with the mate- rial now on hand the Islanders will make good and will be in the race be- fore many days. The amount needed is not large. Plans outlined last night at a conference held at the Senate will be presented to the businessmen to-day and to-morrow. Secretary Frank Seiss, with four- teen men, left this morning for Wilkos-Bnrre. The team will continue its schedule. Elliott and Healey will join the team on the trip and the new men. Mack and Brown, will be In the line-up. Several good offers of play- ers were made last night by managers and may be accepted. It is probable a meeting will be called to discuss the baseball situation.

OVER A 40-YEAR SPANWhen the Job on which you're toiling gets your goat;When you curse the grip of poverty and such;When existence seems to have you by the throatAs you stagger daily onward in its clutch;When It seems that Fate has nicked you good and hard,When you've only known the run of fortune's shreds,When you figure with a curse, life could offer nothing

worse,Weil, suppose that you'd been drafted by the Reds,Old dog.Just suppose that you'd been drafted by the Reds?

?

When they have you on the run across the trail;When they copper every bet you try to make;When you start out in the morning, dull and stale.And the boss begins to brand you as a fake;When they double cross or slam you on the bean,Among the under-paids and under-feds,Ere you figure, ever gruffer, life could offer nothing

rougher,| Just suppose that you'd been traded to the Reds,

I Old dog.Just suppose that you'd been tradod to the Reds?

Boston, Philadelphia and Brooklyn in turn dashed out of the rut in11914, 1915 and 1916 respectively. The Reds were due to round out the

I quartet this season, but so far the forty-year curse is still harrassing them|at every turn. They are still wearing bare spots deep in the second division.

THE ALL-AROUND CLUBSir?Among the all-around boys what's the matter with Harold Janvrin,

of the Red Sox? I have seen htm play first, second, third and short, andplay all four positions well. This should put him up among the first.

J. M. J.Sir?ln regard to Charlie Ferguson, who once caught for Virginia UnLversity, I once saw him pitch the first four innings with Philadelphia in

faultless style and then go back of the bat and catch the remaining fiveinnings with equal brilliancy. He was a won.der. But did you know thatBuck Ewing, the best catcher that ever wore a mask, filled every positionon the old New York Nationals? And that George Van Haltren, with NewYork and Chicago, caught, pitched and played every infield and outfieldposition during his twenty years? Those were the days when the ballplayers had the stamina and the stuff. Men. like Buck Ewing, Van Haltrenand Mike Kelly could play almost any position on the team well enoughto hold the gap. B. L. H.

NOT YET?Ty Cobb began his major league career a trifle over twelve years ago.

He is now sliding on past thirty. But up to the moment of skidding topress he hasn't yet started sliding down hill.

"I have no idea what I'll hit this year," he said a day or so ago, "but Isee no reason for any slump until 1 begin, to lose my speed. That meansdown hill the rest of the way. But as far as I can tell I have been ableto get around this spring as well as ever. It's the speed that always goesfirst?not the batting eye."

Last September when Cobb was batting .354 he told us that he ex-pected to finish around .370. His concluding average was .371. He is stillconfident that he can finish above .350 as he hasn.'t been below this markin a good many campaigns.

DONT'S AND BE'SIn behalf of the Senior Service Corps, Walter Camp has extended a brieflist of Don'ts and Be's that should e incorporated in every corral, whatever

the game?-1. Don't shirk, don't worry; don't explain.; don't knock; don't kick;

don't quit; don't loaf; don't lag.BE ?prompt, alert, quiet, determined, steady, helpful, unselfish, con-

siderate, gracious, observant, brave, clean.If this doesn't cover the field there is no particular use in trying.

THIRD OR FOURTH"To settle a terrific and growing debate," writes Pip, "do the best hit-

ters bat third or fourth I say third, while others say the clean up manis fourth?"

We should say third place has the edge. Cobb bats third and so doesTris Speaker, these two being the best hitters in the game. Eddie Collinsand Dave Robertson, both bat third, and so does Eddie Roush, the leadinghitter of the Reds.

But on the Yanks Pipp bats fourth and Baker fifth; Stuffy Mclnnis, thebest batsman on the Mackmen, also bats fifth. Joe Jackson bats foueth, andso does Hal Chase. But if there is any margin it is decided in favor ofCobb, Speaker, Collins and Robertson.

FROM PLATTSBT'RGWe have left the brassie behind;The racquet rests in its frame;We are pointed now in another way.Facing another game.

And what may rest aheadNo man may know or tell.But we'll hold the slogan we knew of old,The slogan of "Give 'em 'ell."

MAYBE?AND MAYBE NOT"You are all wrong about the Red Sox," writes a bystander. "Outside

of two or three good pitchers, they don't belong and will be lucky to finishsecond." Maybe?and then again, maybe not. If a ball club that winstwo pennants and two world's series in succession, and then, after a longroad trip, returns home in first place, is a bum ball club, just where dothe others belong?

The Red Sox are frequently rated as a fair club or a poor club, withgreat pitching. Whereas it is a smart, aggressive, powerful machine evenbeyond the pitching staff.

WELLYSBaseball help is needed. The

sooner the better for the good nameof Harrisburg as a real live baseballcity. President J. H. Farrell is anx-ious to keep Harrisburg jan the map.

Once the necessary financial sup-port is forthcoming, thcoc will be noquestion about Harrisburg's team.The material is there. With newmen here and others coming, it wijlnot be long until the team Is up inthe race.

Steelton is sftowing more activityas a baseball town than this city atpresent. League baseball starts thereon Saturday, the Steelton team ofthe Bethlehem Stee! CompanyLeague meets Bethlehem in theopening game. It will be some bigevent. To-day Susquehanna Univer-sity is playing Shorty Miller's team.

Interest is growing stronger in themajor legaue race. Both the Na-tionals and Americans are showing

fast work. Crowds are reported onthe Increase.

With nice weather to-morrow theannual grammar school track meetwill have a record crowd. Allschoolswere drilled to-day for marching to-morrow and the young athletes werebusy limbering up.

An important meeting of the Dau-phin-Perry League Is scheduled forto-night. Representatives will dis-cuss plans for the future and takeup grievances.

Only one game was played yes-terday In the New York StateLeague. It went five Innings andWilkes-Barre shut out Reading;score, 3 to 0.

In the Lucknow Shop League yes-terday Finfrock pitched anotherno-hit no-run victory for the PlaningMill. He won out over the Clerks;score, 3 to 0.

FUTURE LEAGUEGAME IN DOUBT;FARRELL IS HERE

B? 1PRESIDENT J. H. FARRELL.

Future league baseball in Harris-burg is doubtful. President J. H.Farrell of the New York Stace Leaguecame to Harrisburg last night, lie ishere to do his bit and wants this cityto remain on the baseball tnap.Whether President Farrell will besuccessful as a life-saver depends onhis conferences to-day and to-morrowwith businessmen.

This city is the only one on theFarrell circuit that does not nave anassociation back of its baseball team.Manager George Cockill, who pur-chased the franchise last season inorder to show his loyalty to the city,has stood the burden of expensesand is ready to sell out and quit un-less he gets help. Too many post-ponements have cut down the re-ceipts.

Men who have heretofnre si nod bythe game will not finance any morebaseball enterprises alone. Tliiy art-willing to help if proper organizatior

is affected. One week will bo givenHarrisburg to decide as to the future.If the proper encouragement 1s notreceived, President Farrell will ar-range to place the team In some othercity.

Activity Start* To-day

To-day, In company with ManagerGeorgo Cocklll and several local en-thusiasts, President Farrell rnadd atour of the business district. Ko wantsto find out whether there is sufficientinterest In the game to continue. Heis of the opinion that Harrisburg will

support a team If properly handled.He also believes that with the mate-rial now on hand the Islanders willmake good and will be in the race be-fore many days. The amount neededis not large. Plans outlined last nightat a conference held at the Senatewill be presented to the businessmen

to-day and to-morrow.Secretary Frank Seiss, with four-

teen men, left this morning forWilkos-Bnrre. The team will continueits schedule. Elliott and Healey willjoin the team on the trip and the newmen. Mack and Brown, will be In theline-up. Several good offers of play-ers were made last night by managersand may be accepted. It is probablea meeting will be called to discuss thebaseball situation.
