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.

Hassett Quintet Wins
From Altoona Tossers
The Hassett tossers last night evened
UP with the Altoona Y. M. A. team,
winning by a score of 26 to 25. It. was
a fast contest, with the locals leading
in brilliant spurts. Exceptional goal
shooting near the close brought the
victory.
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.

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

GEORGE COCK ILL DUE TONIGHT;
HAS OPTION ON ALBANY TEAM
Final Answers Must Be Made Known Not Later Than Mon

Conditions under which Harrisburg
will enter the New York State league
will be made known to-night on 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.

STATE'S WARNING
Comply With Rccommenda-
Proprietor Who Failed lo
tions Loses Store
Commissioner John Price Jackson,
of the Departi.i * of and In
dustry, declared 10-day that pro
prietors of stores, owners of factories
and similar establishments must com
ply immediately with instructions
issued by inspectors of the department
to reduce the annual lire loss in Penn
sylvania.
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."

baseball world. The efforts of the Bal
timore Federal League backers to pre
vent a decision from Judge Landifl
until their case is heard is being taken
seriously. Just what can happen is a
question. The Feds are out of busi

Coaches Peet and Hill will make a
strong bid for another champion track
team at Tech. In their first call for
candidates, which will be made next
week, every effort will be made to have
all of the athletes who have had ex
perience to get into training earlv.
The developing of new candidates will
require time and the local coaches de
sire to make a showing in the April
events.
Tech's defeat at Heading last night,
means that the local tossers must win
one more victory than they counted on
in doping out the final results of the
scholastic race. It will be the team
that wins away from homo that will
take the flag. York thus far has been
taking mostly home games, losing the
first to Central. The latter has a
better record for out-of-town victories.
