CENTRAL BECOMES FACTOR IN INTERSCHOLASTIC LEAGUE-CAMDEN FIVE WIN CENTRAL FIVE IS NOW IN RUNNING Play Lebanon High in This City Friday Night; Tech Shows Improvement Tech high school at York high. Lebanon high school at Central high. llarrlsburg Academy at Camp Hill high. , These are the contests that will at tract the attention of local followers of scholastic basketball during the coming week. Possibly the most Im portant one will be the visit of the high school leaders to this city to meet the Central tossers on the Chestnut street floor. The fact that Central was able to open its league schedule last Friday at York with a victory, has strengthened the chances of the Blue and Gray. It was the first time in the history of the indoor sport that Central was able to win in the White Rose city. Central meets Lebanon Fri day night. At the present time. Cen tral and Lebanon are the only two teams yet to be defeated. One of the features of the play of the Central quintet, has been the scoring ability of "Dick" Gregory. Daylioff Boosts Average Daylioff boosted Ills average per game by scoring 16 points against Reading at the latter place last week. Frank and Gregory of Central are among the six high scorers, because of their good work in the York contest. Wendler, tlio Reading center, also went high in his average after scor ing 23 tallies against Steelton. Ny quist, the Reading sophomore, drop ped several points, having made but 10 points in his last game. The lead-1 ing scorers of each of the league teams are as follows: Moore, Lebanon. 95 points in five games: Harris, Tech, 53 points in four games; Dayhoff, Steelton, 50 points in four games; Nyquist, Reading, 46 points in three games: Whltnioyer, York. 32 points in three games; Frank, Central, 13 points in fine game. Tech Is Improving One of the surprises of the circuit is the steady development of the Tech squad. Right now the Maroon play ers are showing the best form of any Tech team for the last three years. If their improvement continues, they may still be up in the race at the fin ish. Unfortunately for the local lads they have already dropped two home games to Reading and Lebanon, which .lust about eliminates them from be ing a pennant possibility. Ebner, Bell and Beck form a combination of underclassmen at Tech who should bring many victories to Tech before they graduate. Since the decisive vic tory over the Academy tossers on the latter floor Friday night, the team has taken/new life and expects to win the contest, at York next Friday night. The standing of the league teams to date is as follows: STAN DING OF TEAMS W. L. Pet.

Walter Perry Johnson, the wonder pitcher, narrowly escaped drowning after breaking through some thin ice. He was saved by one of the farmhands working on the Johnson place. This bit of information was gleaned to-day in a letter received by a Kansas City business man from a friend in Wichita, Kan., who was at Coffeyville, Kan., the pitcher's home, when the mishap oc curred. Johnson, during baseball's off sea son, spends a good deal of his time hunting. His favorite game is coon and he never overlooks the oppor tunity to hit the trail with his pack of dogs. One night last week Johnson en deavored to cross tlie river near his home on the ice. He was separated from his dogs and farmhand com panion. Wlien nearing the shore the ice gave way under Johnson's weight and he dropped into the icy waters. Ho is a good swimmer, but being clad in heavy clothing and boots, it was impossible for him to keep his head above the surface for any length of time. He managed t& call for help when he first fell through the ice, and this attracted the attention of his companion. Luckily his rescuer found a pole and, going out on the ice. managed to pull Johnson out of the cold bath. He is none the worse for his shlver ing experience and narrow escape.

Apple and Sooty Blotch Thrive in Pennsylvania In view of the prevalence of apple blotch and sooty blotch in Pennsyl vania during the past season the fol lowing comparison of the two diseases oy A. F. Mason, in charge of the hor ticultural extension at State College, is of timely interest. Apple blotch is prevalent in the southeastern part of the state and has neen round in a number of other sec tions. It occurs on the fruit as a hard brown spot with slightly roughened, sunken surface and jagged margin. Spots are light reddish brown and small at first, growing as largo as a nickel at times and turning olive brown. cracks with dry tissue underneath are. noted. Apple blotch frequently affects twigs and leaves also, living over 011 the former. Apple blotch destroys the value of the fruit, sometimes causing* almost the entire crop to drop, and the crack ing renders fruit too dry even for cider. Control measures include the application of lime sulfur, 1 to 35, just as the petals fall, and Bordeaux mix tures. 4-4 50, three, six and nine weeks, respectively, after petals fall. sooty blotch or sooty fungus Is found in all sections of the state, oc curring in late summer, ruining the appearance of the fruit and rendering it unfit for sale, ft is most extensive in the lower counties. It appears as a cloudy cobweb-like affection on the skin of the fruit, spreading over and sometimes covering it. Spots are usually separate and rangfc in size from a mere dot to the size of a dime. Sooty blotch may sometimes be wiped off. It is more pronounced on apple* grown on low, damp ground or in soggy locations anq on fruit near the center of the tree.
