TAGGERT j Who l/ooks For Champion Team at Steelton SIXTY CANDIDATES FOR CENTRAL TEAM Husky Boys Promise to Disprove Reports That This Year's Eleven Would Be Weak With sixty candidates ready to work hard for the football team, Central High will start work Monday under the direction of Paul G. Smith, who lias signed up for another season as coach. Developing new material will be Coach Smith's hardest job, but it may not be as hard as was tirst an ticipated. It may also be said that neither Tech nor Steelton High is likely to have a runaway race this year. When the season ended last season live big stars of the Central team ended their scholastic efforts. Some fear was expressed that the male ad ditions to the Central school this year would lie small and promising ma terial for football scarce. In counting noses yesterday officials of the Central High School as well as Coach Smith were agreeably surprised to learn that there is an abundance of good ma terial in the school. Professor W. S. Steele, principal of the Central High School, said last night. Have Some 'Husky Boys "We are not going to boast of what we have, nor predict anything for the i future, but L will say that 1 ant more, than pleased with the number of young men who have responded to the call to take part in the football game. I Among the candidates are a number of husky boys'. If they have the brains to play the game, as well as the bone and sinew, Central High will not be bo weak as expected. The school spirit is strong and every pupil will do his best to maintain the standard in football set by Central." Coach Smith holds the same opinion as does Professor Steele. He will get | into the game and work hard. . There is every indication that Cen- ! tral will have a much heavier team ! this year than has represented that school for several years. Arrange-! ments will be made to switch the studies of all candidates in order to let them get to the afternoon practice. Professor Steele said he will do every thing he can to have the squad work ing every day. Tech Looks Strong Coach D. Forrest Dunkel, of Tech High, had a squad of fifty working at Island Park yesterday afternoon. He is much pleased with the outlook and looks for a strong eleven this season. He will not give his squad any special work until next Wednesday. Coach E. C. Taggert. at Steelton, is not saying much these days, but he Is smiling, and that smile must be con sidered. Steelton looks stronger just , now than either Centra! or Tech. The ' Steelton team starts with a number of players who have been doing good work in the football game. Dailv practice will be the order at the miil town south of the city. A NI MBEtt Of good country places are advertised! for rent !n this :saue of the Telegraph.

For the past month or more Secre tary Seldomridge and his corps of office assistants have been fairly swamped with applications for space. Despite the promised immensity of the exhibition the price to Lancaster's Fair will re main at 2R cents—there will be no ad vance as there has been in some coun ties not far away. The Lancaster Fair is everybody's fair and everybody is invited to come and have a great big time at the smallest possible admission price. Of special appeal to the people of this and Adjoining cities will be the big poultry show, the automobile show, in itself well worth the price of ad mission: the dog show that promises to rival those at Devon, Bryn Mawr, Philadelphia, Atlantic City and New York: the automobile and motorcycle speed trials; the harness and running races for which purges aggregating $6,000 have been hung up. to say noth ing of the several miles of Midway at tractions, presenting freaks from every quarter of the globe. For the farmers there will be special interest attached to the corn and tobacco shows for both men and boys, the immense lines of farm and road machinery, the blooded cattle, horses, sheep and hogs, the seeds, fruits and fertilizers and hundreds of other things too numerous to mention. Of special appeal to the ladies will be the big exhibition building devoted exclusively this year to fancy work: the nroducts of the oven, the canned goods and preserves, the exhibits of housewifely utensils of all sorts, the home labor saving devices of manv kinds and everything generally that local merchants have to offer. For the children there wll be so much of strong appeal that it is use less to enumerate. There is alwavs a big time for the kiddies at the Fair and this year will offer many times more than ever before. All that will be necessary to insure the success of the Fair will bo the proper sort of weather.—Advertise ment. "MERA.

B. Shoop Tells About One of the Greatest Events of the Year; Scores of Local Marksmen Scores reported from the great American handicap shoot at Dayton, Ohio, showed n number of Harrisburg shooters hut made no reference to them as winners, Local shooters re turned home last night much pleased with the results. They got their share of the money divisions. One shot won the shoot for Wool folk Henderson, of fjexlngtnn, Ky. According to H. B. Shoop, one of the Harrisburg shots, Henderson is a won derful marksman. Shoop said: "To the readers who are not fa miliar with the magnitude and system of a registered shoot a few words in explanation will perhaps make it more plain. All registered shoots through out the United States are entirely con trolled by an association, called the Interstate Association. All shooting clubs registered in this association are entitled to hold a shoot one day or more throughout the year and all such scores are made at a distance of six teen yards from the traps. "At the end of each year a summary is made and each shooter's average is determined, which percentage con trols the distance to be shot at such handicap shoots, as the grand Ameri can or lesser tournaments, and air fixes the percentage of each shooter ~ throughout the entire United States. "At the grand American handicap Just completed singular incidents crop out. For instance, three of the Har rlsburg shooters happened to he in one squad with two others, one from Arkansas, the other from OJlashoro, N. J., at nineteen yards distance. This squad proved one of the most consist ent squads at the meeting, averaging 93 per cent, for five men 500 targets. The scores were: Martin. 03: Williams, 93: .Tames, 92; Shoop, 93: Herrold, 94. "With 508 entries, which were di vided into five sections of twenty squads to each division, this necessi tated a waste of time between each event of two hours and a half. This was the greater detriment to good scores." NEXT WEEK'S BILL Only to-night and- then the brilliant Valeska leaves for other climes. Miss Suratt with her gorgeous production headed an offering at the Orpheum this week that no doubt will linger long in the memories of patrons of that playhouse.
