10 LOCAL SHOOTER WINS FIRST HONORS AT LANSDALE-LEAGUE MEETS SECRETLY STATE LEAGUE IN SECRET SESSION What Happened Will Re Told Later; Letter From Presi dent Farrell Backers and managers of the Penn sylvania State League held a secret conference at Hotel Plaza last night. When the meeting was over every body wore a smile. What happened behind closed doors is not ready for publication. President William R X>ouglass remarked: "We had a great meeting. This league is going through. Some surprises are due ■hortly." The only action taken, given pub licity, was regarding national protec tion. A letter was read from Secre tary J. H. Farrell, of the National As-1 ■oclatlon of Professional Clubs, re questing the required fees, and adding 'the official announcement that tht Pennsylvania State League is under 1 protection will be promulgated in my next bulletin." George Cnrkill 111 Manager George Cockill was ill and could not attend the meeting. Leo Groome, president and owner of the Harrisburg club reported negotiations for several players and said. "We will put the Harrisburg team on the map In short order. It must be winning baseball at Island Park. The fans ■want It and 1 intend to do my part to make it certain." William Abbott Wit man who pur chased the Reading franchise gave notice that Abraham Rosenbluth of New York City was no longer identi fied with the Reading Club and was practically out of the league. Read ing fans are boosting the State league (rsme in that city. Jlnimv Sheckard of Lancaster was also present and an-j nonnced that the game in that city; was making a hit with the patrons. mo HI-; GO?

Your Motor ■ i THURSDAY EVENING, WELLY'S If CORNER \ I » The prediction that Harrisburg shoot- \ ert would be prominent in the State , shoot at Lansdale appear* to have had some foundation. Lockwood R Worden, a former president of the Pennsylvania State Sportsman'* Asso ciation won high honors. He had two , tuns of 26 straight. His shooting was classed as remarkable. The official program starts to-day. President John O Martin, of the Har risburg; Sportsmen's Association, lost ; out on his efforts to get the 1917 shoot for Harrisburg. York withdrew and Bradford has the call. It is some time since there was a State target contest , here. The local association has held numerous interstate matches, but the Pennsylvania body has not met In this 1 city for ten years. Here is what the Philadelphia In quirer s»avs of Harry B. Shoop. a Har • risburg shooter who is attending the State meet at "The appear ' ance of Harry H. Shoop, of Harrisburg, was met with many *1 told you so' re -1 marks by those who follow the State tourneys. Mr. Shoop has not missed a tournament since the association or ganized twenty-six years ago anil as he J is a deadly nhot he is 4 cognized as one of the prominent laymen within the tanks who is a credit to the associa tion. " To-day the local high school ath letes held long practices in preparation for the big State meet on Saturday.} With the high schools entered, keen competition is expected. This will be the second contest for the champion tship shield on which Tech high has one , place. The athlete winning individual honors will receive a silver cup. Gobi, silver and bronze medals will be ' awarded first, second and third win ners in each event. ! : TRACK ATHLETES j AFTER RECORDS 1 !' Fast Boys to Compete in Au nual High School Meet on Saturday That competition for the new shield to lie offered for the winner of Satur- j day's meet will be keen is evidenced j by the fact that many of last year's; point winners will again be entered in the several events. In the 100-yard i liash Mocker of Stoelton looms strong as a winner. Last year he succeeded I in capturing second place for the Blue 1 and White. Boehringer. of Reading; ; Evans. Eyster and Davies of Tech; ' Zicgler of Columbia and Diffenbach of Central will comprise a fast tifeld in j the century dash. In the half-mile run Striokler of Columbia and Sellers of Stoelton will again run this year. Last year both 1 of these lads landed positions in this! race. Other fast men in the event will be Shipley of York who has been do- j ing less than 2'4 minutes in his last two trials. Beam of Elizabethville. < and Walborn of Millershurg are likely to spring surprises according to ru- i i Notice has been given by assistant ■ ( superintendent of parks, V. Grant For-| i rer. that athletes must remain on the bleachers until called. There will be no crowding In the oval this year. \ j Spectators are to be given an opportun- j ity to see what is happening. A sec- ' ! tion of seats has been provided for j i contestants, and special officers will be ion hand to keep them In their places. I Manager George Cockill has three new pitchers. Two of them. Wameling and Donahue came from Utlca. Bill Co.ughlin, of Scranton. sent Hall, a promising youngster, who was sched uled to pitch the first game against Reading to-day. Catcher Evans and \ Steward have been relensed. Kvans has a bail arm and will rest up. He quit > at his own request. Steward will take ; treatment under a physician and may 1 go to l.ancaster. The first doubleheader was played at Island Park this afternoon between Reading and Harrisburg There are a number of two-gaine dat"s on the schedule but are likely to be switched within a few days in order to arrange ! j for Sunday contests. ' George Therre, a former Harrisburg Trl-State catcher is in the Reading line-up. No more popular player wore , a Harrisburg uniform than Therre. He • is a clean-cut player and is in every game with his best efforts. Three umpires have been named* by ; Emory C. l.ut* of the Dauphin-Perry ' League. John Berry, a former Harris- j { burg twirler, who has been in the I game for sometime Is a local appoint ment. John Fra/.ler, of Highsplre, and j J. B. Deckard, of Mlddletown, who I made good In the Central Pennsylvania I League are also on the list. mors from the upper end of the coun try- Fast Mile Run Hoy Harmon of Tech will likely lead the 1 procession in the mile run. He has not" been defeated this season, and is a' consistent winner. 1-ast season he 1 took third place. The record of 4.14 is likely to fall in this event ,as Harmon made the distance at State College last Saturday in 4.42. Sutch. another Tech lad, looks like the winner of the two-mile 11111. While he has done a half minute better than the record for the Island track, the Maroon coaches will not urge this lad 1 to break the Island record as the track lis only one-sixth of a mile this year. Interest In One Mile Interest in the one-mile relay cham- [ pionship is growing daily. A dark horse in the race is Columbia. These j lads have the same team that landed j t fourth position in the relay last sea- 1 json. Since then they have not been | defeated. They won at Philadelphia in April in their class and also landed the high school meet held at Millers burg two weeks ago. Wtlliamsport will j have three of the team that took third I place last year. This year's quartet of runners ran second to Tech at Phil adelphia and will come here with the intention of squaring the count with the Tech lads. Steelton's Blue and White team remains intact with Hock er. Barber, Wueschinski and Sellers running in that .order. While Tech is the favorite in this race, three other teams will push the Maroon for the 1 honors. Harrisburg telegraph WORDEN HIGH GUN IN STATE SHOOT Leads Large Field of Gunners at Lansdale; Official Events i Start Today -' xHH * Hal IXK'KWOOD B. WORDEN Lock wood K. Worden of the Har rlsburg Sportsmen's Association, smashed 93 targets out of 100 yester day at Lansdale. taking honors in the preliminary shoot. It was the opening sweepstake event of the annual shoot of the Pennsylvania State Sportsmen's Association. This was remarkable shooting con sidering the fierce wind which blew from out of the west with a winterlike ferocity. Worden had to shoot some to carry off the practice day honors, for Billy i Wolstencroft. one of the veteran shots of Philadelphia and a main mover 1 within the ranks of the State associa tion, finished with but one less break than Worden, getting 9 2 out of his century. Harry E. Buckwalter, an other Philadelphian, and Paul Bunger tied for third place with 91 apiece. Howard J. Schlicher, of Allentown, who won the championship In 1910 at Philadelphia and who is here to try and snatch the mantle from Charles : H. Newcomb, the present leader, fin ished fourth with 90 down, j Other Harrisburgers made good scores. Shoop broke 78 and J. G. Mar ! tin SB. ! Neaf Apgar, the Plainfield, X. J., professional, led the trade contingent I with 98, being one ahead of J. Mowell ; Hawkins, the Baltimore sharpshooter. Other professional shots on hand are O. R. Dickey, W. B. Darton, O. S. Sked. Fred Sloan. W. P. White, W. S. Jones. R. L. Klotz and H. Winchester. More are due to roll in to-morrow. The next State shoot will go to Bradt'ord. Pa., the same town which staged the tournament a few jears ago. The Red Lion Club, of York county, had been a bidder for the 1917 classic, but to-day notified Secretary Bernard T. Elsesser that It had withdrew from the field, leaving Bradford as the only bidder. The card for to-day calls for ten j events at a total of 175 targets, which will include the State doubles' cham pionship at 25 pairs of doubles and the two men team champions at 50 singles j and ten pair of doubles. Besides these titles there are the Citizens' Club tro phy. In the open, and many other prizes. The scores follow: First Day Scores 20 20 20 20 20 100 Swartz, L.

Student Finds Pearl 5,000,000 Years Old Stanford University, Cal. —A 5,- 000,000-year-old pearl has been dis covered by Stanley Carrollton Herold. a graduate student In the department of geology at Stanford University, in a shell he examined in the conchology laboratory. Professors of the department con j frm Herold's estimate. The fossil ! pearl is declared to be the oldest ever | found. IV originated in the Eocene 1 uge, eons before there was any #lgn of man or earth. Herold has made a j special study of the geologic and pale lontologic conditions of the Pacific coast In that period. The pearl meas- j ures more than an eighth of an inch | in diameter and has faded to a light : brown from its original cream color.
