AMATEUR TOSSERS BATTLE TO-NIGHT FOR LEADERSHIP-MEREDITH TO RETIRE TED MEREDITH TO QUIT ATHLETICS Final Efforts in September Says Lawson Robertson; Successful Career New York, Jan. 30.—Ted Meredith, considered by many the greatest middle distance runner of ail times, will hang up his spiked shoes for good and all after the National Track and Field Championships of the A. A. U., which are to be held in St. Louis on Septem ber 7 and 8. Lawson Kobertson, coach of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, who was en gaged largely through Meredith's in strumentality, is the authority for this announcement of the Quaker flier's forthcoming retirement. In the spring of 1912, Meredith first came into promi nence by astonishing the athletic world by running a quarter mile at the Uni versity of Pennsylvania relay games as a member of the. Mercersburg Aca demy one-mile relay team. Lobs than three months later he won the Olympic 800-meter championship and raced on tile SSii yards, setting a world's record of 1 minute, 52 seconds. Enter* I'entiN) lvanln In the Fall of 1912 he entered the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, and becoming eligible to represent the Red and Blue the following year has been the most conspicuous athlete on the American cinder path. His career as a college champion culminated last spring, when he sot a world's mile record of 1 min ute 52 1-5 seconds in a dual meet with Cornell, and made a new world's mark of -17 2-sseconds for the quarter mile. "Meredith feels that it is time that he settled down to hard work," said Rob ertson, in talking about Meredith's re tirement, "but before he quits for good lie wants to regain his national quarter mile title, which he lost last fall when lie was defeated by Tom llalpin." Bob Folwell No Longer Penn's Football Coach; Student Body in Uproar Philadelphia, Jan. 30. —Like a bomb shell setting lire to a Bulgarian village came the news last night to the stu dent body of the University of Penn sylvania that tlio faculty committee chairman, Dr. Arthur \\\ Goodspeed. lmd stated that the committee would tinder no circumstances ratify the re appointment of Bob Folwell as foot ball coach. Tlie appalling tidings spread like wildfire through the dor mitories and fraternity houses, prom ising the greatest upheaval in the uni versity routine since Penn beat Michi gan. Mass meetings, petitions galore, wild demonstrations of student feel ing. are scheduled for to-day. Almost beyond the belief of many of the stu dents was it. that such an action was possible. The salary question, which lias been receiving publicity recently, was immediately pointed to by the campus critics as the reason, but Fol well himself last night said that money would never stand in the way of his services to his Alma Mater. _ "It's a frame-up," lie said, simply. "They're out to get me. They've made :i big thing out of the salary propo sition, but all these wires were pulled when I was in California. I'll work for Penn for any reasonable sum. They claim things weren't what they should have been on .that Pasadena trip, but I challenge anybody to state any charges against me, in black and white, and I'll make them eat it." Dog Driver Asserts Dogs Were Given Poisoned Food Fargo, N. D., Jan. 30. —Hyurtur Hanson, heading the three leading drivers in the Winnipeg-St. Paul dog race, said hero to-day that his six dogs were ill and that he believed they had been poisoned. The other two leaders, Mike Kelly and Gunnar Tomasson, ex pressed the same belief. Hanson's •logs, however, were a"ble to continue in the running. Hanson said an unidentified man had been following them along the trail, overtaking them at Reynolds, X. D., the driver said. He offered the men some whisky. The three leaders reached Sabin, Minn., shortly after noon to-day, hav- i ing covered 205 miles since leaving Winnipeg last Wednesday. Four of the contestants were near here at noon, while the other.

Despite the cold, partridges, redbirds, wrens, quail, martens, bluebirds and pheasants by the thousands, beside the robins, till the county. Any winter day outside any .one of 62 one-room schools a visitor will see a small girl scattering cracked corn, meal and crumbs in lavish quantities about a wide cleared space. Pheasants come quite close to her, and smaller birds by hundreds drop down at a lit tle distance for their rations. This is the "feeding the birds" hour, in which almost every pupil some day in the year acts as dispenser to birds that have come, some of them, 100 miles. Some of these schools are remote, attended by less than 20 children each, who live in neighborless homes and who in winter were without even'the delight of outdoor pets until the brownnest, scrubbiest, hillsides be came tilled with noisy, active, brightly colored birds. The man responsible for the birds' coming is John E. Edwards, who re cently retired as county superinten dent of schools after four years of service. Formerly he was superinten dent of the Alleghany County Acad emy at Cumberland and now is assist ant director of the Tome School For Boys at Port Deposit. Interested the Boys First His trips through the backland por tions of his county made him feel the loneliness of life there for the chil dren who tramped two miles to school and back alone throughout the winter. So he brought the birds. First he or ganized school study clubs. Boys who had been backward, seemingly, and would not talk, became the brightest students. They liked the birds and wero as interested as if school had suddenly become part of outdoors. Each club elected a president, who made plans for the winter visitors. Spaces were cleared about each school. Brush, tall grass and every obstruction was swept away. Then bird houses were put up on posts, not enough to accommodate all the birds [Special Scores Feature in Lari Night's Bowling Matches Boyd Memorial League ' Excelsior 1743 Bethany 17 20 Miller 199 | Mumma (T.) 521 Academy Duckpin I^cagne I Bitters 1538 Officers 1474 Colevans (O.) 138 j Colevans (O.) &40 Solvuy Tenpin League | Team No. 3 2071 Team No. 2 193 2 Brady (No. 3) 186 Brady (No. 3) 475 MISCELLANEOUS Fickes Alleys, Lemojme Single Men 1101 Married Men 1016 Fickes (M.) /. . . 117 Fickes (M.) 303 Bull's Alleys, New Cumberland Married Men 2537 Single Men 2321 i Davis (M.) 229 I Davis (M.) 560 STANDING OF TEAMS Solvay Tenpin W.

' that did come, but enough to give many shelter. Many of the houses | were simply converted tin cans. Others were elaborately made, the j work of entire holidays. From home 5 every child brought grain of some I sort and daily at the same hour this | was scattered. j The first winter no birds came, but the robins stayed. Formerly they hur j tied South for easy food. The next j year tribes of them from further i north stopped at the school grain lines. Now the county really is Robin j Land. In and around Frostburg, Lo naconing, Cumberland and Western port, as well as in the country, the I redbreasts hop' about all through : January. At one of the remoter schools a flock of pheasants appeared the first winter. Now hundreds of these birds, ; quite tame, when children feed them, 1 but alarmed at older persons, visit the feeding grounds. Wrens, once plenti ful in the district, but growing scarce | in recent years, have returned to stay all seasons. Partridges, less numer | ot-sly, and redbirds and bluebirds in i .!,*reat numbers, come each winter. Quite recently martens in profusion I have discovered the. birds' paradise and school clubs are busy building col onyhouses with snug compartments for these latest charges. \ Before many of the schools stand | large posts, teachers' height. On these , are nailed great chunks of suet, brought on turns by different chil dren. Throughout the day birds peck ; at the suet gratefully, flirt their heads ' and fly away. Whenever colder i weather threatens the suet is pecked j the more, the birds quite wisely stow ! ing warmth inside them for the snows [ to come. j Some of the children's fathers ob i iected to supplying grain until it was discovered that potato bugs were dis- I appearing. A little watching demon strated that quails, brought hungrily, ! to Alleghany in the winter, made sur- I reptitious summer morsels of the bugs I in patches not too close to a house lor a barn. Now the same objectors i gladly gtve all the grain the school ; [ clubs ask. "Feeding the birds has brought Joy ! to more child hearts than we bigger j | folk can ever guess," Edwards said when he dropped his superintendent's duties. "It's an even guess as to : which are more alert and glad, the j children or the birds." Smokers Guard Pipes!

HXRRISBURG TELEGRAPH SALARY CHANGES ARE NECESSARY Pay Checks Too Large Says President John K. Tener; Owners Have Rights New York. Jan. 30.—President John K. Tener, of the National League, in a statement in reply to complaints of National League players that their sala ries had been cut, declared a salary ad justment was absolutely necessary. "The game must be put on such a basis where the men who have money In the clubs can expect a reasonable profit on their investment,' he said. "The best proof that salaries arc too high is that despite the fact that we had a record attendance, few clubs made money. The same condition, I am told, existed in the American Lea gue, which had its record attendance. Club Owner Ha* Rights "If the clubs cannot make any protits with record attendances, what can they then do in lean years? And no one can deny the right of the club owner, after Ills big outlay of money for players and stands, to expect his baseball property to yield him a fair income. "The players should be more reason able. Salaries were artificially inflated during the existence of the Federal League, and players by holding a strike club over their heads, forced them to pay salaries out of all proportion to what Vheir services were worth or what the clubs could Itfford to pay." "Naturally, such contracts could not be expected to be renewed at the war time figures." F' THEY BUILD OR V/UJLFO DESTROY AMAZING BUT RARELY SUSPECTED TRUTHS ABOUT THE THINGS YOU EAT By ALFRED W. McCANN The case of West Washington Mar ket affords a striking instance of the necessity of arousing nation-wide at tention not only to the subject of dis eased meat but also to the manner in which any interest, when aroused in isolated cases, is quickly suppressed. West Washington Market, New York city, is, in many respects, symbolic of the diseased meat idustry of the entire United States. Its history for the past four years reveals so much that has application for all the cities, towns and rural com munities of the United States that it should be studied for its hints of what is going on in secret and its voluntary efforts to protect itsgjf from the evils we are discussing. Following my first public charges that city, state and federal officials were protecting the wholesale repeiv crs of carcasses of diseased animals the health commissioner of New York city issued numerous statements de signed to create the impression that the municipal, state and federal au thorities were co-operating with each other in the matter of protecting the people from unwholesome meat and that there was no need for hysteria or anxiety. I met these statements by focusing all my attention upon West Washing ton Market, which, in size, is a little town in itself. With a score of witnesses I invaded its refrigerating plants, ice boxes and coolers. I probed its pockets of cor ruption and held fast to the evidence which, under the very eyes of the officials, was so easy to obtain. Nest after nest of rottenness was torn to pieces with such regularity that the corporation counsel of the city of New York was finally forced to act. Then came one arrest upon another. In quick succession my unofficial ac tivities were followed by a score of convictions. A single newspaper, publishing the details of the horrors exposed on the witness stand, emphasized the hideous nature of the secret traffic conducted in that institution of wholesSle crime, the scene of murder by pistol shot and poisoned meat, to such an alarming degree that through ils very violence the mayor of New York, John Purroy Mitchel, was forced to appoint a new health commissioner.

C HONORS AT STAKE IN CITY LEAGUE Important Games on Tonight's Schedule For Armory Floor With three teams in the City Ama teur Basketball League tie for first honors and two for third place, to night's games on the Armory floor promise unusual interest. The Gala hads meet the Methodist Club in the first game. These teams with Rose wood have each won four games and lost one game. West End A. C. and Y. M. H. A. have each won one game and lost three. They mete to-night. The win ner will get third place. Within the past week all teams in the local league have been practicing daily and some special work is due to-night. Kline Lends League Kline, forward for the Rosewood tossers, is leading the league. In five games he has scored 25 lield goals, 31 fouls and a total of 81 pbints. Boss, of the Y. M. H. A., a.star forward, has in four games made 13 field goals, .12 foul goals and a total of 58 points.

This committee proposed to meet the situation half way in an effort to put an end to the embarrassing court pro ceedings which were growing out of my privately constituted meddling with crimes that were said to have no exist ence. "We now realize that we must have an adequate inspection system for our protection," said the committee. "We know that we cannot place the burden of such a system upon the taxpayer. To meet this difficulty we are ready to pay to the city of New York 5 cents a head for every dressed carcass shipped to West Washington Market. From the fund thus established the city can provide veterinarians to pass upon the wholeeomeness of our products before we offer theni.ior sale." This proposition was designed to put an end to the costly notoriety and dis astrous prosecutions for which I was responsible. The board of estimate acted upon the plan and made It legal. In rec ommending the plan Controller Pren dergast said: "As every taxpayer knows, the city Is paying for all sorts of inspectors who tread on one another's heels. It Is refreshing to have a plan suggested that does not lay tbe expense at the door of the city, but causes it to be met by the persons actually bene fited." Thus was official denial of the very existence of corruption met not only by court convictions, but also by voL untary admissions of guilt and a volun tary plan of practical control. West Washington Market had be come an experiment station. It proved, for the benefit of the legis lators of the state as well as for the benefit of every city, county and state official, that the disease of which it was a striking symptom was wide spread. It was natural, therefore, to expect that an effort would somewhere be made by public-spirited citizens to meet the issue to which the market so emphatically called attention. Such an effort was made. To provide against the state-wide perils repealed through its disclosures Dr. Theobald Smith, of the Rockefeller JANUARY 30, 1917. Local bowlers are attracting much attention outside of the city and nu merous requests have been received for matches. Duckpin contests are on the increase. One of the best local bowlers at duckpins is Colovaris, of the Bitters team of the Academy Ijeague. He has been a big factor in many victories. Allison Hill bowling enthusiasts are manifesting unusual Interest in the league games. Some high scores were made last night by bolh the Leopards and Tigers. Mumma. of the Leopards, and Sherk, of the Tigers, won honors. These boys are close rivals for scoring honors. According to last night's scores, married men arc the best bowlers. They trimmed the single men at New Cumberland and Lemoyne. The cham pion married men were Fickes, -at Le moyne, and Davis, at New Cumber land.

This bill reduced responsibility for the kind of corruption I was exposing to a head that could be held to sharp account. It provided lor the control, suppression and eradication of infec tious and communicable diseases af fecting cattle, hogs and other domestic animals. It provided for the proper control of all animals entering the ctate. It provided that owners of diseased animals who wilfully concealed the facts concerning their should receive no state compensation for the seizure and destruction of their herds. It provided, on the other hand, that where, through no fault of the owner, it become necessary to destroy his animals, he would receive adequate compensation. It provided for the control of all tuberculin sold in the state, or carried into the state from the outside, thus making it possible to account for the use to which such tuberculin is put through the devilish practice of/"plug ging" tubercular cows in order to con ceal the evidence of their diseases. It also provided for the supervision of all slaughter houses with an ade quate system of meat inspection. It provided for the pasteurization of all milk produced by cows known to be suffering from tuberculosis. It also required cheese factories, milk stations, and creameries to pas teurize their raw products, including the skim milk and whey returned by them to the farmer as food for calves, thus putting an end to this now un controlled method of infecting young animals with tuberculosis.

B. Barnard, State Food and Drug Commis -1 sioner. Only 9,900 cases of eggs wera found in the survey. Heavier stocks were on hand about three months ago, but, it was said, these had been almost exhausted by the demand. The inspectors also found 5.1,000 bar-< rels of apples, but only small quantities of poultry, cheese, butter and other dairy products. The release of the food now in storage would have no effect on prices, according to Commissioner Bu rnard. 11
