Athletic Meet to Be Held on Biddle
Field to Develop AU-Round
Man
Carlisle. Pa., June 2. Additional
earnestness and zeal has been enthused
Into the track candidates at Dickinson
owing to the announcement by Coach
Craver of a proposed "pentathlon" to
be held on Biddle Field next Saturday,
In which Dickinson men only partici
pate. The probable events will be the
high and broad jumps, discus. 220-
yard low hurdles and the 220-yard
dash. The-pick of the Red and White
cinder men have already entered
themselves for the initial event of its
kind at Dickinson. Ingram, who re
cently broke the collegiate 220-yard
dash record and scored second in the
lame event at the Intercollegiates at
Haverford; Yates, the best quarter
miler Dickinson has ever had on the
cinder paths: Pairn. Warfield, Dalton
and Welsh, are among the candidates
for the loving cup which will be pre
sented the winner of the event.
Coach Oyler'a baseball proteges have
remained idle since the Ursinus came,
two weeks previous, owing to inclem
ent weather conditions of the last
week, but the snap and energy put
Into the practices during the latter
part of the week give every indication
that Dickinson will acquit herself
creditably on the diamond in the last
three games of the season, the last
being with Villanova. the commence
ment game, on Tuesday, June 8.
The return of Walters, the regular
shortstop, to the line-up has been the
source of much encouragement to the
authorities. Walters was absent for
four weeks owing to a sprained ankle
received during the practices. The
return of Walters to shortstop will
t|robably shift Spong to the outfietd.
although he will be used undoubtedly
as uUlity player. George Moose, who
was brought in from the outfield at
the commencement of the season, has
developed into a seasoned player at
said position, his hitting and fielding
being one of the greatest assets to
the team.

fcout of the York Athletic Club to
night will be hailed as champion.

MANY KIND WORDS
FOR TECH ATHLETES
Work at Reading Set New Pace
For High School Per
formances
Praises for the Tcch high school
track athletes are coming to Harris
burg from all over Pennsylvania. In
high school circles the work of the
Tech team this year is classed as
eclipsing that of any high school team
since the scholastic contests were
started nine years ago.
At Reading the strongest commen
dations were heard. While Monday's
meet was all Tech, a number of the
events were full of thrills and showed
keen competition. Referring to the
work of Tech. the Reading News-
Times of yesterday says:
"Beck and Heffelfinger were the in
dividual stars for the winners, each
winning two first places. lincluded in
their 5 8 points are five bard-earned
ones for rst place in the mile relay, the j
last event of the afternoon, and by far
the most thrilling.
"The handsome University of Penn
sylvania cup awarded to the school
winning the relay, together with the
big new Josiah Dives cup to the school
winning the meet, will be held In
Tech's trophy case till the games next
year, when both will be put up for
competition.
Classic Relay
"The classic of the afternoon—the
relay, always the premier event of
Reading's meet—found Tech already
victors of the meet, but anxious to
capture the big Penn cup. Reading's
crack bunch was determined to con
tinue the victories of the two previous
years. From the go-oft it looked like
the Red and Black.
"Hoffman, after craftily getting out
of a nasty pocket on the first turn,
opened up on the back stretch and
went into the van by a five-yard mar
gin. Kremp, Reading's second man,
maintained thi:? lead till the home
stretch. when his afternoon's hard
work in the hurdles and. the broad
Jump told on him. Stlteler, Tech's sec
ond man. let loose with a marvelous
sprint in the last lifty yards and left
Kremp two yards to the rear. Troup
lust c-'oUdn't holrt his own with Dem
| mlnj. the lad. and he sent
! Pierce oft with eight yards to gain on
j the husky Heffelfinger, Tech's last
! man.
I " 'Jimmy' rap magnificently, but
well within himself til! In the center
of the back stretch, then started his
fight for first place. He had to take
the cinders from Tech's captain all the
way till the stretch was reached. Then
he drew up even. Down the straight
away neck and neck both men strug
gled. The two thousand Reading par
tisans in th" stand were in a frenzy,
calling on 'Jimmy.' But he lacked
! just a trifle. And Heffelfinger broke
the tape with Pierce barely six inches
to the rear.
New Record to AY in
"The 'hand' that the crowd gave the
plucky little captain was an ovation
seldom seen and heard in Reading.
Pierce had run his quarter In 53 sec
onds. a full second faster than the
i Tech man. And at that, to win the
i Maroon and Gray boys from the Capl
j tal City had to wipe out the old mark
jto win. They went 2-5 seconds faster
than the mark made 'wav back In
j 1907 by Camden, when the Jersey boys
! ran in 3.04.
"The speedy work and the new rec
ord was only one of the things that
gave Tech the victory. Performances
creditable to any college were the or
der of the day. Sutch. the wiry young
ster from Harrisburg. who has been
running the distances in phenomenal
time all season, again shattered a rec
ord. This was the mile mark in
4.47 1-5. made four years ago.
"Sutch clipped 5 3-5 seconds oft this
mark. The 'dopesters' in the stands
figured that Whiteman. a dark horse
from Wllllamsnort, who had sprung
out from the field in the half mile,
winning easily, might repeat. But he
couldn't place, so fast was the pace
and so clever did the Tech boys team
together. Tech made a killing in this
event, capturingthree first j-laces. Some
1 of the old-timers recalled that Wil
mington placed first three men in the
mile 'way back in 1909, when the field
was dedicated. But the pace was not
nearly so fast.
"Just how good a team Harrisburg
had. and how brilliant were their two
stars. Beck and Heffelfinger, may be
gleaned from the fact that they shat
tered marks that have been on the
Memorial Day meet books as records
for years. Each pushed the shot
46 feet B*4 inches, a college perform
ance. Two years ago. the last time
T«-ch attended the Memorial Day
classic—and won It. too. by the way—
Beck set a mark that has been equaled
only once. Yesterdav he went out 4}4
feet beyond that mark."

Why Shouldn't Mayor
Stratton Be Popular
in His City Council?
Ao Interested guest at yesterday's
session of City Council was Mayor Ira
W. Stratton of Reading, who had been
on Capitol Hill on business, and who
later at the invitation of Mayor Royal
called round at the counctl chamber
to see Harrisburg's city fathers at
work. Mayor Stratton is more or less
of a familiar figure here as he has
frequently been an enthusiastic dele
gate to third class city league gather
ings.
Reading's mayor genially discussed
the methods of third class city coun
cils yesterday with newspapermen
during a brief recess of council. In
cidentally, he compared the local and
the Reading methods. In answer "to a
I question the visiting mayor smilingly
said that the Berks city fathers rarely
had any occasion to dispute or dis
agree.
: "No 'three-two' partisan council, eh,
'Mayor?" someone inquired,
| "No," said he. "We work nicely
I together although the complexion of
| Council is of several political faiths.
|** e've got two Bull Moosers, two
Democrats and one Republican."
"Naturally at times that Republi
can is a very, very popular man?"
"Well," Mayor Stratton's eyes twin
kled, "that's not exactly for me to
say. Tou see, I'm the Republican!"
