12 GEORGE COCKILL TO REPORT ON FRANCHISE-JASPERS MEET INDEPENDENTS COACHES PLAN AN EARLY TRACK CALL Tcch Athletes to Line Up Next Week For Practice; Prob able Candidates Coaches Peet and Hill will make, tlieir first call for candidates for the! track team at the Technical high school within the next few days. The preliminary work will begin at once indoors in preparation for the annual I relay races to be held at the Uni-1 versity of Pennsylvania in April. Other candidates will also be given i iheir preliminary training for particl-1 pation in the track and field events to be held by the school later in the Spring. From last year's relay team Stans- j field, Stiteler and Heffelfinger have 1 been lost because of graduation. Those who remain that have competed in the I quarter for Tech are Demming, Evans and Oipple. These three men have competed for the Maroon and are the, most likely to make positions. Eyster, possibly the fastest dash man ln the i school, will also try for a position l »n the relay team. Davies, another dash man, and Harmon, a one-miler, will likely enter the race for a position. Several promising freshmen also loom up at this distance. Probable Relay Team Cole, a winner of three gold medals in the grammar school track meet, Moltz and Ebner are all first year men wlio will have an opportunity to show their caliber before the flnal selection is made for the Philadelphia carnival. Besides the annual track and Held meet held on the Island by the high schools of Central Pennsylvania the Maroon team will also be represented at State College, Reading, Norristown, Mereersburg and Gettysburg. While a lot of new material is expected to be developed, the most likely candidates for the several positions are as fol lows: Possible Trams 100-yard dash, Eyster and Raleigh Evans; 200-yard dash, Uavies and Eys ter: 440,yurd dash, Demming and Gip ple; half-mile, Sliipp and V. Snyder; one-mile run, Harmon, Kay and John Molts; two-mile run, Suteh. McGann, Sherk and Sebourn: 120-yard hurdles, Fitzpatrick. Lloyd and C. Snyder: 2 20- yard hurdles, Fitzpatrick, Lloyd, Boyer and C. Snyder; high jump, Fitzpatrick and Boyer; broad jump, Shipp and Eyster; shot put, McKay, Philippelli, Lauster and Haehnlen; hammer throw, Demming and Haehnlen: discus, Dem ming and McKay; pole vault, Moore and Fitzgerald. Never before in the school's history have there been so many promising freshmen who will try out for the loam. From the records made in the grammar school meets a number of Uiese are almost certain to land po- 1 sit ions that will win a "T" for them, j A sufficient number of point winners i remain from last season to justify the j prediction thai next Spring will sec Tech represented by one of the best | teams in the history of the school.

Sourbier led in shooting for Has sett and Bennett and Logue were Al toona. The work of McCurdy at for ward and Gotigh at guard was an in teresting feature of the game. TECH LOSES TO READING Tech five lost to Reading High last i night at Reading; score, 48 to 23. The local tossers were outclassed. Tech lacked team work and was off in shooting form. Reading was in the lead from the start. Rittenliouse led in scoring for Reading. Harris was Tech's star. FARMERS MEET IN UNGLESTOWN [Continued I'rom First Page.] committee is made up of Jonas Cas-' sel. F. Wolfensberger, Samuel Rabuck, , David Shadel and Dr. C. H. Smith. Sheldon W. Funk, of Boyerstown, was the first speaker at the meeting! last evening and he gave an illustrated 1 lecture on fruit growing and the care! of orchards. Mr. Funk, although a very young man. Is one of the author ities of the State on fruit culture. His work has been recognized by the De partment of Agriculture and recently he was made a member of the State advisory board. Instructions on Pruning Mr. Funk's talk last evening was along the lines of cultivation, pruning and spraying and he showed pictures lo illustrate each point. He also took up grafting and explained in detail how the various grafts are accom plished and the benefits to be derived. Along the lines of pruning, the speak er produced slides showing a tree at one, two and three years and showed tiow tt should look when the work is carefully and properly done. In peach orchards, declared Mr. Funk, the trees should be pruned from the first >ear, always cutting out the inside Lwigs and permitting the main ones nn the outside to remain and grow back from the center of the tree. If this work Is done properly he says, when the tree matures and fruit is produced plenty of air and sunshine '■an get to all the branches. Peach trees in well cared-for orchards often 1 appear as though the entire centers were cut away, but this appearance is Hie result of good pruning from the beginning. Mr. Funk showed that the branches on the tree become stur dier and grow outward instead of di rectly upward when they are properly tended. The spread of the tree makes picking easier and in many cases all of the fruit can be picked! from the ground even though the peaches be on an old tree. This kind ! of growth, explained the speaker, I SATURDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY 5 1916. A JESS WILLARD, Heavyweight Champion, 245 lbs.

GEORGE COCK ILL DUE TONIGHT; HAS OPTION ON ALBANY TEAM Final Answers Must Be Made Known Not Later Than Mon day; Utica Franchise Taken Over Conditions under which Harrisburg will enter the New York State league will be made known to-night on the arrival of George Cockill. He has a proposition from Ihe Albany owners which expires Monday. It is under stood that Manager Cockill will recom mend to local boosters that they get into the league no matter what hap pens at Reading. brings many branches close to the ground and then, of course, imple ments built low and with a section extending from one side, must be used to get beneath the branches to prop erly cultivate the soil around the tree. Mr. George's Talk S. C. George, of West Lebanon, In diana county, was another of the speakers last evening and he talked on "Rural Schools; Some Compari sons." Mr. George was a school teach er for fourteen years in Indiana and Armstrong counties and is familiar with conditions existing in rural schools. Mr. George takes objection to the young teachers who are found in many of the country districts. "Girls scarcely twenty years of age," he said, "are sent into the country school to teach what? To teach char acter, the real foundation of an edu cation. Now will you please tell me, how under the heavens are they go ing to do it when you tind, with few exceptions that at lhat age they have not yet formed character for them selves. I know I'm saying some things that school teachers won't like but I believe that a great many of our teachers of to-day are too young. Advice to Children "And now for you boys and girls here. Do not go away from school until you have finished your course and obtained all the education it is possible to get. You have an oppor tunity to profit by the mistakes of those older than you are. I attended the Indiana State Normal school and would have been graduated in the class with the late John P. Glkin, but I stopped before my last year and now I have seen my mistake. You hear stories of this kind every day so that I hope you will not follow in the foot steps of those older than you and make the same mistakes. Once, I re member, I heard of a young man, who in plowing, used the furrow Just along side of him as a guide. Another fel low saw him, noticed what he was do ing and told him to put a stake at the end of the field and with this as a guide, he would be able to make a straight furrow. 'But,' said the young man. 'because of that little hill, I can't see the other end of the field,' 'Then,' replied his friend, "put another stake at the top of the hill to guide you in getting to the other stake.' Now the lesson I wan't yqu to take from this Is, if you have an aim in life and find you cannot find yo ir mark in one shot, then take two. Get from the first to the second level and then soar to the third." Poultry Farming During the meeting yesterday after noon, E. L. Phillips, of Clarion county, talked on poultry and at a session to day he spoke on the need of lime in the soil. Mr. Phillips told of how the farmers in years gone by used from 300 to 400 bushels of lime to an acre of ground. Scientific reasoning of to day, he told his audience, has changed this and now instead of that great amount between 35 and 50 bushels to the acre is sufficient. He advised the farmers of this territory to plow their fields and then sprinkle from 35 to 40 bushels of powdered lime over the ground, har rowing it into the soil. Mr. Phillips also urged the use of good qualities of vegetable matter and manure in the soil. "Cora Culture" H. M. Anderson, of New Park, York county, was another afternoon speak er and lie talked on "Cosn Culture." , Faxiaeia in this vicinity are greatly The franchise at Utica will be taken over by businessmen of that city. Troy is still on the market with Johnny Evers doing his best to keep it in his home town. The Albany owners have given Harrisburg an option, with the understanding that final answers must be made known on Monday. [ interested in corn growing and Mr. | Anderson's talk interested them so much that a general discussion or | round tabic talk followed. Mr. Ander- Json is a great believer in level culti vation and he told the farmers the benefits to be derived and how much cultivation would help to maintain the moisture in the soil. By hilling the , corn to any extent, he said, gutters between the rows would follow and then when a heavy rain falls, much of the moisture which should remain ( in the corn field, is carried away. • Level cultivation, he explained, is n big improvement and he urged farm ers to cultivate immediately after each rain and that better crops would be the reward. Talk on Drainage The last speaker at the afternoon session was Charles G. McLaln, of Jef ferson county, an expert on farm drainage and water supply systems. He spoke of the various drainage sys tems in use and recommended the tile drainage as the most desirous. "Fre quently," said Mr. McLaln, "we find the old stone drain, the kind with the fiat atones on either side and others over the top. There is a great disad vantage in these because during the dry season, ground moles, rats and other little animals get into them and dig up the ground so that when wet j weather again appears the old drain will be dammed up and practically use ! less until repairs are made. There is another drain which I have often seen and it is very good. A ditch is dug and then a layer of fine stone is put in the bottom. On this is placed a layer of larger stone and then comes another layer of fine stone and the top soil. But the best that can be used is the tile drain. The tiles, col larless, must be properly laid, end to end, until a long pipe is formed. The surplus water in the ground finds Its way through the space between the pipes and is then carried off. I would recommend the use of tile in all cases if a good substantial drain is desired." The institute is being held in the ! Union Chapel and the last session will I be held this evening at 7.15 o'clock. WAR VETERAN DIES Special to the Telegraph Carlisle, Pa.. Feb. 5.

In discussing the necessity for such compliance Commissioner Jackson to day said: "Two inspectors of this department recently made a rigid inspection of a store in a Pennsylvania city. The pro prietor of that store was warned that a fire might break out in his establish ment at any time, due to waste, pack ing material and oil receptacles that liad been allowed to accumulate in considerable disorder. The inspectors ordered the proprietor to clean up his place immediately and left a written order for the following improvements, among other demands: Clean up en tire building and remove all waste paper; provide metal receptacles for ashes in basement, and provide fire proof room for all oils, turpentine and all combustible material. "The proprietor of that store was given until a specified • date to make improvements, and, before that time, to notify the department that the or ders had been met. No notification of compliance with the order was re ceived by the Department of Labor and Industry and the Inspectors ar ranged their schedule to return to that store at the elapse of the short time period allowed. "Two days before the elapse of that time the store was destroyed by fire at a loss exceeding $25,000. The fire men of the city In which the fire occurred were subjected to the gruell ing hardship of fighting a stubborn tire on a bitter cold night. Families in nearby apartments were endangered and the iire caused damage in an adjacent store."
