8 Jerry on the Job f5T)_ jff"*! f _ _ a fWT> OLER BREAKS RECORD MIDE BY MOFFITT New Figures Came in Saturday's Meet on Franklin Field; Championship Winners Tom Moffitt's feat of breaking the intercollegiate record in the high Jump, which he made on Pranklin Field in 1807, and which record was maintained at 6 feet 3*4 inches until Saturday, was broken when Oler, of Yale, cleared the bar at 6 feet 4Vi inches, establishing a new record. To those who had an opportunity to watch it, the struggle between Oler and Richards for the high jump hon ors was unparalleled as an exhibition of splendid sportsmanship and athle tic prowess. Richards was looked up on as a sure winner. He had cleared the bar at 6 feet 5 inches in the relay competition on Franklin Field last month. This established a new colle giate record and no one dreamed that the I'ornell wizard would be defeated. When the bar reached 6 feet % inch, Johnstone, of Harvard, still was in the fight. But that was as high as the Crimson jumper could go. Then it developed into an exciting contest between the Eli and the Cornelian. Finally the stick was placed at 6 feet 3Vi inches, which was one-fourth of an inch higher than the record held by Moffitt. Oler quickly leaped over at this height and Richards finally ac complished it on his third and final trial. Clears the liar Then It was announced that the bar was to be placed at 6 feet 4V4 inches. Oler went back to try it, with the eyes of Richards and the majority of the spectators on him. He missed it the first time. The next time he went in the air, landed in the sand pit and looked up to see the bar in place—he had done it. Richards rushed to shake his rival by the hand and then took his place to attempt the feat himself. Once, twice, three times, did the Cor nell wonder essay the leap, but each time the bar fell with him into the pit. Leaping ¥o 'tfife'fiet When he kne'iV that he was licked and that his ri val from Yale was the intercollegiate champion and record holder, Richards hurried over to again grasp Oler's hand and congratulate him. Then while the Eli tried to equal Richard's collegiate record of 6 feet ft inches, the Jthacan stood near and offered advice. Rut Oler could not accomplish it. The high jump afforded a fine example of the good fellowship existing among college athletes. The other record broken was also one of long standing. J. R. Dewitt, of Princeton, threw the hammer 164 feet 3 n inches at the intercollegiates at New York city in 1902. Cornell won the meet with 45% points. Harvard was second. Championship winners were: 100-yard dash —Smith, of Michigan; time, 10 seconds. 220-yard dash-—-Smith, of Michigan; time, 22 seconds. 440-yard dash—Meredith, Pennsyl vania; time, 48 seconds.

Oil WILL STMIID BY THE CODE Will Not Sign New Borough Laws Unless They Are Very Impor tant to the Commonwealth Governor Brumbaugh proposes to stand by the borough code which he recently approved and bills providing for changes In the law relating to boroughs will have to be of vital im portance to secure approval. The Governor announced early in his term that he would not approve of amend ments to the school code unless the State Board of Education passed upon them and they were considered essen tial to the school administration <?ode, taking the position that the act of 1911 should be thoroughly tried out. Recently he found that the legislature, which had passed the borough code, had also passed a number of bills changing some of the provisions of the code and adding new matter. The Governor said that he did not intend to approve them unless of great value to the State. In addition to designating a chair man for the Public Service Commis sion the Governor is this week ex pected to name the Agricultural Com mission and to consult with various department chiefs regarding legisla tion affecting the State government which is in his hands. Attorney General Brown will soon name the counsel for the Public Ser vice Commission and before long will designate the additional deputies pro vided for the handling of the legal business of the State which will come under him by virtue of the recently en acted bill. Mr. Brown will name men specially fitted to handle the business of the various branches. It is considered unlikely that any appointments will be made'for admin istration of the workmen's compensa tion law until late in the year as the act does not take effect until January 1. The series of bills establishing com pensation is being carefully gone over prior to approval by the Governor. AMuseooeyrel „ J COLONIAL \ audeville and Pictures Every after noon and evening.

SPEED KINGS START IN LONG AUTO CHASE Rain Responsible For Fast Track; Expect New Records; Twenty-four Starters Indianapolis. Ind.. May 31. The fifth annual 500-mlle race on the In dianapolis Speedway started at 10 o'clock this morning. Twenty-four of the fastest racing automobiles in the world lined up for the start. The fact that the brick surface of the track has been thoroughly chilled by the rains means that the racers will be able to make faster time than other wise would be possible, it was said. Tires will last longer on such a course, it was stated, than on one heated by several days of bright sunshine. This, race enthusiasts point out, indicates that the record for the contest, 6 hours 3 minutes and 45 seconds, made last year by Rene Thomas, will be broken. Among the drivers who will compete are men who have gained the highest hoonrs in automobile racing. Ralph de Palma and Bob Burman are two of the best known of the pilots who will try for a share of the $50,000 prize money. Fifteen American and nine foreign cars will face the starter.

To Work Coal Vein on Mountain Near Dauphin? As tlie result of an examination by an expert mining engineer, an eight-foot vein of hard Lykens Valley coal on the mountains back of Dauphin, will prob ably be worked by a company or up- State capitalists. A thorough examination was made Friday and according to unofficial word received by Dauphin men Interested in the mine the vein will be developed. It was worked about seven years ago on a small scale, and so far as can be ascertained contains both Nos. 1 and 2 grades of hard coal. The members of the party who made the preliminary investigation are: Mil ton W. Dowry, of Scranton; J. H. Simpson. Pittsburgh: J. B. Bailey and J. D. Bailey, of Williamsport, and W. H. Llewellyn. Shamokin. Scores of borings have been made on both Peters and Broad mountains, back of Dauphin, within the last fifty years. Coal was struck at various depths and In different quantities In practically every instance, but the veins were not worked hard because of the lack of suf ficient capital. The new company, it is said, has unlimited backing and In tends to erect breakers and proceed in a thoroughly businesslike way. About twenty years ago Lewis Maus. of Dauphin, struck coal on the top of Kittatinny mountain. He operated the vein on a small scale several years, then abandoned It.
