BIG TIME SATURDAY
FOR HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
Many Entries Received Too Late;
Reading Inquires About the
Annual Trophy
High schools throughout Pennsyl
vania are awakening to the fact that
an important track meet is scheduled
for Harrisburg on Saturday. There is
a big rush on the part of many schools
to get in. It is too late, however, and
there is no argument which gives them
the right to be considered at this late
day.
Dr. Charles B. Fuger, Jr., chairman
of the Harrisburg Athletic Committee,
sent letters to York, ILancaster and
other cities last night with copies of
entry blanks attached showing that
plenty of time was given all schools to
enter. The schools added to the list
yesterday sent their entries early
inough, but they went astray in the
mails.
With favorable weather a record at
tendance is looked for. 1 nquiries have
been received from colleges and
schools within a radius of sixty miles
of Harrisburg regarding seating ca
pacity and stating that large dele
gations were coming to Harrisburg.
To Look Over Promising Material
"Shorty" Miller, the Harrisburg star,
is coming from State College and will
bring along a large number of stu
dents. The Penn State alumni mem
bers in Harrisburg are boosting hard
lor the meet and will have a large
representation. Carlisle will send a
big crowd, and as the upper end of
Dauphin county will be represented
by athletes from Millersburg, Lykens
and Elizabethville. students from tliosi.
towns have sent word that there will
be a large representation of rooters at
the meet.
Heading' Ask* ICxplanation
The Heading high school authorities
have written a letter to the Harris
burg Track Athletic Committee re
questing an explanation of the ruling
uri the awarding of the high school
shield this year. The Heading Times
says:
Heading Puzzled
"Reading High's track supporters
are puzzled over the action of the
Harrisburg Track Athletic Committee
and their present attitude toward the
linal disposition of the handsome oak
and bronze shield, the trophy for the
annual Harrisburg meet, to be held
this year on Saturday next.
"A tie already exists and has since
1911. Central Manual, Philadelphia,
and Heading High each have two legs
i>n the shield. Central Manual's suc
cessor scholastically is the West Phila
delphia High School. While few con
testants from that school attended the
meet in 1012, the year after the dis
banding of the Manual school, no one
wore their colors in 191.1. Nor will
they this year, for the Middle States
meet is held on Saturday on Franklin
Field and West Philadelphia is in the
running for high honors.
Tecli the Winner?
"It is up to Reading to break tht.
lie this year if it is to be broken, but
that does not seem likely in view of
ihe strength of the Harrisburg Tech,
which is looked upon as the logical
winner of the meet.
"The decision to select the winner
by the high total of the number of
points scored is not in accordance with
the understanding among the locals as
to the final award of the trophy. The
conditions announced in 1908, the first
year in which the shield was the tro
phy, was that the shield should be
come the permanent property of the
team winning the annual meet the
greatest number of times, not the team
having the largest score."

For the Big Meet
Tickets of admission to the annual
State Inter-high school track and field
meet on the Island Saturday were sent
out to-day by M. Harvey Taylor, v om

erty.

Commission, the Board of Public

as to permit live instead of four

Extra Inning Battle
Gives Trenton Victory
Trenton, N. J., I lay 14.—Heckert's
White Roses were hard losers yester
day. The Tigers nosed out in the
eleventh inning, score 1 to 0.
In the second extra period, Horsey
laid down a safe bunt, and ITainmond,
who followed, did likewise. Yale came
in for the ball and Hammond beat it
out, but Yale made a. wild throw to
tirst to catch the runner, and Horsey
scampered to third and Mammon took
second. Lee Meyer then smashed the
first ball on the nose for a blazing one
base whack that scored Horsey with
the only run of the melee, bringing to
a grand finale the splendid battle. The
score by innings: R. H. E.
York 00000000 o—o 4 1
:Trenton 0000 0 000 I—l 7 1
Batteries: Hime and Ledgate; Hor

MACK'S PROTEGE
PUZZLE TO SEMTORS
Baker Holds Harrisburg Down to
Four Scattered Hits; A
Whitewash
Special to The Telegraph
Reading, Pa., May 14. Oscar
Baker, a protege of Connie Mack, had
Harrisburg's hitters chopping the at
mosphere yesterday and won his game
for Reading, score t to 0.
Things might have been different
had not Cruthers hit a hot liner down
Adams' way, striking the young pitcher
on the ankle and putting the Senator
out of the game probably for two
weeks. Ten of the Cockill squad
| fanned. Four hits was the small total
of bingles and they came in the last
inning, too late to count.
Phillips, who finished the game,
I showed the best form since the sea-
I son started. A fast double play by
Doty, Cruthers and Mclnis spoiled
Harrisburg's only chance to score after
the lirst two men up hit safely in the
ninth.
Reading got their first run in the
second inning when Doty and Mc-
Innis singled, Swoyer struck out and
Nagle's grounder forced Doty. Baker
singled to right and Mclnnis scored.
Doty led off with a double In the
fourth and scored when Nagle drove
a single to drop left field. The score:
