GROVER MARTIN Another Crack Shot Who Has Won Championships at the Traps In future shooting events In and about Harrisburg the name of Grover Martin will be seen frequently among I the entries. This young shooter has I lately been making records at the. ! traps and a recent score was 50 | straight, at live birds. This week hp won the championship I from Charles Bolon of Bressler. Bol |an has been on Martin's trail for sometime tut has not been able to j beat the Harrisburger. When Holan ]claimed a tormer match after having | been given a two-bird handicap, Mar i tln issued a challenge. Martin gave Bolan one bird and won by a score of 9 to.o. The young star will now try competition with other shots. Mr. Martin Is well known In Harrisburg and vicinity. He Is one of Harrisburg's young Republican workers.

BLUNDER ON WIRE COSTIA' Special to The Telegraph Chicago, 111., April 23.—"Jack" Pfels ter, former pitcher for the Chicago National League team, was given a verdict for $2,000 against the Western I nion Telegraph Company here yes terday. Pfeister claimed $2,500, alleg ing that he was deprt-ed of that sum i by failure of the telegraph company to deliver to him a message from Hugh Duffy, manager of the Mil waukee club, in 1912, in which l>uff.\ said "Will pay you S3OO month." or theß~ v \ SALVAGE INVENTORY SHOWS FEW IDLE CARS i | Clear Sidings on Main Line; Good Equipment to Be Put in Service Early With a view to estimating tho amount of salvage to be realized from old cars, general inventory is now being made by the Pennsylvania Rail road. With the arrival of new cars much of the present equipment will be sold or sent to the scrap heap. In connection with this Inventory idle cars are being brought from stor ing sidings to the shops. Within the past few days many sidings between Altoona and Philadelphia have been cleared. It is estimated that 5,000 Idle cars have been recalled. Total Idle Cars The company on April 9 reported a I total of 78,962 idle freight cars. On | April 16 the aggregate had been re duced to 71,916, a decrease of 5,046 cars. The equipment put in service in the week comprised good order cars, as the totals of shop cars stored showed no change. The number of good order idle cars was reduced from 42,475 on April 9 to 37,428 on April 16. Eastern lines of the system on April 6 reported 38,825 idle freight cars, compared with 35,961 on April 9, a decrease of 2,136 cars. The western lines reported 38,091 idle cars on April 16. against 41,001 on April 9, a de crease of 2.910 cars. Compared with January 4 of this year, the number of Idle freight cars on the Pennsylvania Railroad system April 16 showed a decrease of 14,177 cars, or 16 Vfe per cent. Railroad Steel Orders Ready in Two Weeks Tn steel circles there is a feeling that 1 the Pennsylvania Railroad's steel rail order may be let within a couple of weeks. Early In January the company made inquiries for 170,000 tons. To date it haa given contracts to six steel companies for 2000, tons each, a total of 12,000 tons. Each company was to roll 1,000 tons according to old spe cifications, and 1,000, according to re vised 1915 specifications. It is expected that when the bulk of the order is placed by the Pennsylvania, the price will be more than S2B per ton, the standard price for some years, because of the more rigid specifications. How Big Order Looks When Run in One Train Referring to the recent Pennsylvania new equipment order the Philadelphia Evening Ledger says: "The Pennsylvania Railroad is go ing to buy 16,520 different kinds of cars and locomotives. If placed end to end they would reach 108 miles, or from Philadelphia to Harrisburg and then five miles farther. If placed row fcy row on Broad street, nine deep, they would extend 12 miles, or from League Island to Logan." COURT REFUSES LEASE Trenton, N. J., April 23. The at tempt of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to obtain a lease of the West Jersev and Seashore Railroad and Its franchises for a period of 999 years was again thwarted yesterday when Chief Justice Guramere. of the New Jer sey Court of Errors and Appeals, in an opinion handed down, sustained the right of the tyew Jersey Board of Pub lic Utility Commissioners to refuse the Pennsylvania the right to'make the lease.

ALEX. AGAR, Mgr. NEW PRINCIPAL II (ML 12 WEEKS Prof. Howard G. Dibble to Visit High School Early in May to Get His Hand in on Ropes Central high school students will have a chance to become acquainted with Professor Howard G. Dibble, ot i Ijf mbertville, N. J., the new principal, during the first two weeks in May. President, Harry A. Boyer, of the School Board, announced to-day that the successor to Principal Steele will put in these two weeks at Central in I order to become acquainted with the "ropes." the students, the faculty and the directors. After his two weeks' visit Professor Dibble will return to Dambertville to officiate at commencement exercises. Then he will come back to llarrisburg j to live. I The School Board yesterday selected Professor Dibble unanimously to serve for a year, beginning in September. His salary will be $2,500, the mini mum for the tlrat year authorized by the rules of the board. While School Director Yates did not oppose Mr. Dibble, he said he believed Professor .1. J. Brehm. one of the supervisors, should have had the place. ; President Boyer, City Superintendent Downes, Director Houtz and other di rectors all informed Mr. Yates that Professor Brehm didn't want the job. Rumor had it to-day in school cir cles that Professor Brehm's aspirations incline not toward the high school principalship, but to the city superin tendency. Dr. Downes, however, has still another two years to serve. , THE MKDJUM-BIZKD MAN We are all inclined to look yp to j the physically big man, not only liter ally, but there is always a certain pre emption in his favor that he must be correspondingly strong-mentally. Peo ple make room for him; they attach more importance usually to what he says than to the same words uttered by an undersized man. We uncon sciously picture in our minds the bayo net charge and storming of the trench es as the work of large men. The boy dreams of having a football phy sique and little sister worships her big brother. Other abilities being equal, the large man has a positive advantage over the small man. And yet many, if not the majority, of the great men of the world have been only of me dium size, and not a few even under sized. A certain large city In this country had for years made it a rule not to em ploy in its fire department any but large men. The result was a small armv of athletes which never failed to cause a positive thrill whenever they went on parade. They distinct ly represented the day of physical might. For some years past the Inventive mind has been busy, and very success fully. to produce apparatus which never tires, and calculated to transfer to a great extent the hard work from muscle to machine. The evidences of this evolution may be seen In even small towns everywhere, and now the fire engine drawn by volunteers and worked with handbrakes must be looked for In museums of strange me-i beanies or the past. In its place is the self-propelled gas-engined ma chine, carrying its own hose hosej capable of highly effective work with only two men; and ladder trucks by means of which one small man manip ulatlng-some short levers can in a few seconds raise great ladders to dizzy heights, or pour a deluge of water into tenth-story windows while standing in the street below. Hence it has come about that the man small of stature but nimble of body and alert of mind is not only the peer but often the su perior oi' the giant In build. There yet remains some work for the big ath letes t-ut it is growing less- each year, and vhe man whom nature has not en dowed with great physical strength is coming into his own.—By H. H.

The hoard met at the home of Mrs. John E. Fox, 223 North Front street. Mr. Kelsey spent months not only in the section of Mexico that has been moaning under the burden of revolution but also in that island-like peninsula that juts into the Caribbean. These are the vacation resorts of the wealthier Mexicans from the capital. While the architect went to Mex ico and to Yucatan for the purpose of studying the ancient architecture of the Indians that were old when Pi l zarro was a youthful adventurer, ho i Ijad ample opportunity to observe eco- I nomlc and social conditions. Inciden tally he brought back scores of inter esting pictures and these will be a feature of the talk he will deliver in Fahnestock hall next Friday evening. Not only will the great palatial resi dence of Mr.Wealthy Mexican in beau tiful Merida be shown but the com parison with the native hut in the suburbs will be quaintly drawn, ami this by the man who got a splendid j inside tip on Mexican architecture, all sizes and kinds. The proceeds of the talk will be de | voted, of course, to the general fund of the Pure Milk Society—the organi zation that makes it possible for the baby of the needier family of Harris- to get a share of properly pre pared food.

Baseball Magnates Are Good Weather Prophets New York, April 23.—About this time last year there was a hue and cry against the compilers of the two major league schedules. The mag nates were accusd of avarice, greed and sundry other things for having the season open so early. Rain and cold weather caused discomfort to the fans as well as many postponements. A general clamor arose for later open ings. But the magnates sat tight and this year opened on April 14 again. Thus far 27 games have been ached nled in the American League and 2 8 in the National.
