IN EBBING MINUTES
Hazleton State Leaguers Arc
Humbled After Locals Have
Sensational Rally
Scoring twelve points during the
last five minutes of play, on Saturday
night, after Hazleton had gained u
lead of six points, the Harrisburg In
dependents triumphed over that team
on the Chestnut Street Auditorium
floor by the score of 36 to 34.
The contest was one of the best of
the season and the close defensive
work of the State leaguers featured
the game. The locals were held to
three dual pointers until the rally near
the end of the contest when they man
aged to pterce the net four more times.
Rote was the only local player to se
cure a two pointer in the first half of
the contest.
Smythe's Work Feature
Smythe, the sturdy forward of the
Hazleton team, featured for the up-
Staters, scoring a total of 20 points.
The team work of the State leaguers
was centered around this lad and Rus
sel, the center although the latter did
not figure In the scoring.
Gordon Ford, the star guard of the
local team was back In the contest,
after an absence of several weeks, due
to an injured knee. His work was of
a high order despite his long lay-off
and he threw two dual points during
the late rally of the local team. Me-
Cord's sensational work from the fif
teen-foot mark kept the locals In the
game, he throwing 22 out of 27
chances. The summary:

MONDAY EVENING,
LOCAL SHOOTERS WIN
IN RAILROAD CONTEST;
BRETZ IS HIGH SCORE
Breaking 49 out of a possible 50 clay
targets, I. Bretz, of Harrlsburgr, was
high gun of a field of 11 contestants
participating in the opening shoot of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Gun Club at
their new grounds at Overbrook Sat
urday.
With such a large entry the gun
ners shooting under perfect weather
conditions in squads of five nt each
of the two sets of traps it was al
most dusk before the winner was de
termined, so close was the compe
tition. Dr. Harvey looming up in the
very last squad with a 46.
Bretz made his top score in the ninth
squad, one of the heaviest of the day,
missing his 21st target.
Outside of the many sections of the
country represented the big feature of
this opening shoot was the appear
ance and brilliant work of six women
shooters, whose scores in many in
stances outranked those of the men.
Wnlluee Second
Second to the Bretz high score for
members was T. L. Wallace, of the
general office, Philadelphia, who made
47 out of 50 targets.
High gun prize on first 25 targets
for members was captured by Harry
H. Sloan, with 24; the same on the
second string was tanded by E. A.
Massey, who broke all 5 targets in his
final round. George Baldwin's 31 was
the highest straight run for the visit
ors. The West Chester man also cap
tured high gun prize for the visitors
with 48, just one target less than the
winner of the shoot. A. J. McDowell,
when not keeping track of the scores,
managed to rush out to the traps and
landed the long straight run for the
visitors with a sequence of 28. The
second high gun among the visitors
was J. M. Rotherrtiell, with 47 out of
fifty.
The keenest of rivalry was shown in
the team prize, which was won by the
Philadelphia Division with a team total
of 223, as against the 222 made by

In the Spring
"In the spring a fuller crimson comes upon the robin's breast;
In the spring the wanton lapwing gets himself another crest."
—AJ Tennyson.
In the spring, with your permission, A 1 old pal, we'd fain relate
Many other things that happen to the lowly and the great.
In the spring, with your permission, Al, old pal, we'd breast;
In the spring he clamors madly that his ball club is the best.
In the spring the pop-eyed rooter rises from his seat and roars;
In the spring the young fan's fancy lightly turns to full box scores.
In the spring the gent who batted .418 with Kankakee
Joins a big league camp in Dixie, where he swatteth .23.
In the spring the somber human, erstwhile calm and dignified.
Pounds his neighbor on the neckpiece, yelling, "Slide, you bonehead,
slide!" ■
In the spring the frenzied golfer starts to tell us of his score,
How he got an even hundred, but deserved an eighty-four.
In the spring the pits are cluttered where the niblicks beat the sand;
In the spring strong oaths are muttered up and down the fragrant land.
The Heavyweight Lull
The heavyweight situation in the boxing corral has come into a boding lull
again. There were signs of a brief awakening some weeks ago. but just at
present it is about as lively as the fettered mummy of Rameses 11. The great
furore attached to the Willard-Fulton debate foamed for a day or two into a
creamy froth, and then died away.
Part of this may have been due to Willard's demand for s7s,ooo—which
was merely a ma'tter of $7,500 a round, or $2,500 a minute. The other part
may have been due to Fulton's inability to rouse the populace into any frenzy
over his championship claims. He had done no more than Jack Dillon, weigh
ing 70 pounds less, had already done before. Whatsoever the reason might
be, there is no denying the impressive lull, amounting to a chill, which now
prevails. Within another week or two it will be exactly a year since Willard
has fought anybody anywhere. He has been heavyweight champion now for
two years, and in that time has figured in exactly ten rounds, s.n average of fif
teen minutes' fighting to each twelve months. But with no one to fight, there
was very little else for him to do.
Darcy and Fate
Darcy picked a tough time to enter America as a conquering hero. A year
ago and he might have gotten by very nicely. But with America itself on the
verge of entering the battle smoke, there came a sudden feeling against en
riching a runaway from military duty.
Darcy's case happened to be peculiarly flagrant. And what little chance he
had to get by he wrecked himself by his first activities in this country.
He may be a wonderful boxer, but the odds are that no one in this country
will have any chance to obtain proof of the same for several years.

* One of the chief causes of trouble is that it is so much easier to start *

* The entry who gives the game his best hasn't time to worry about •
* the aspects of the final score. •
The Washington ball club came within a half Jiffy of establishing a wonder
ful record last season. If Grif's team had won on.e more game, or had suffered
one less defeat, it would have been the only club'ln baseball to finish in seventh
place with a mark of .500. As it was, we doubt that any seventh place array
ever had a mark of .497, Washington's finishing figures.
The Best Infielder
Mention has been made of this or that star as the best all-around infielder
This hon.or belongs exclusively to one man—Charles Lincoln Herzog. Herrog
is the only ball player we know of who proved to be a star of .first magnitude
at second, third and short. J
Herzog was the best fielding third baseman in either league last season
while at work upon that assignment. The year before he had been one of
the three best shortstops. Moved over to second, in the opinion of John Mc
graw he was as good an infielder as jSddie Collins, and McGraw always figured
Collins as one of the great ball players of the game's history—the most valu
able since Wagner began to drift.
If Herzog could bat only .220—if he was only an ordinary Infielder he
would still be one of the most useful members of the cast through the vast
amount of pepper he spills up and down the field.
"Princeton banks on Chaplin in the box." We always figured that a fel
low who could peg a custard pie with as wonderful control would be fullv as
good with a baseball.
Great Spring Sport
There's a big revival, they say,
For sport in the spring;
But stifling the standing broad yawn '
Is a wonderful thing.
Russia, paying her soldiers six cents a day, comes as close to the true
amateur spirit as any nation, we know of just at this moment.
Reports from the Coast indicate that McLoughlin looks in better shape this
season than for several campaigns. There is always the chance that Eric the
Red will reach the crest for one more trip, but he probably came closer to It
two years ago when he went to the final round with Johnston than he will
ever come again. Passing years are not likely to add to the speed and punch
that are a good part of tennis success.

Training Camp Gossip
I Macon, Ga., March 12.—The need of
, more batting practice prompted Man
ager Donovan of the Yankees to forego
1 a game Saturday. The mer\ were put
through batting work until they were
tired. The hits went away eieanly
enough in the afternoon, seeing that
there was no fielding in front of the
hitting. Pipp knocked two drives over
the right field fence and Shaw slam
med one over the left field boundary.
Hot Springs, Ark., March 12. —■ Not
until 5 o'clock Saturday did the rain
stop, which commenced with a light
ning and thunderstorm shortly after
midnight. As a consequence the
Superba.s failed to start in on their
fourth day's training at Whlttington
Park. Manager Robinson waited until
the last minute, figuring that lie could
send the squad over the mountain at
least. At 2 o'clock he called this off
and allowed the players to go to the
races.
Columbus, Ga., March 12. Twelve
players of the Pittsburgh Nationals,
headed by Manager Callahan, reached
here Saturday for spring training. An
other squad of ten arrived yesterday.
Several more are expected to-day.
New Orleans, March 12. The
Cleveland Americans and New Orleans
team, of the Southern Association,
played a lourteen-inning exhibition
game here Saturday which ended with
| the score tied at 1 to 1.
Slireveport, La., March 12. The
exhibition game scheduled for Satur
day between the local club and the
Cincinnati Reds was postponed on ac
count of wet grounds. It will be
played to-day.

Overton, Yale Sprinter
Breaks World's Mile, f
Indoor Track Record
Philadelphia, March 12. W. Over
ton, Yale's greatest distance runner
of the present generation, turned the
fastest mile ever run on an indoor
track at the annual games of the
Meadowbrook Club, on the Commer
cial Museum track Saturday night,
when he defeated Ivan Meyers, of the
Illinois A. C., the national mile cham
pion, by a matter of inches in the
world's record-breaking time of four
minutes sixteen seconds.
Abel Klviat's old figures of four
minutes eighteen seconds have with
stood the test of active competition
since 1913, but when Overton and
Meyers left the three-quarters of a
mile post astern at 3:12 4-5 it was a
foregone conclusion that Kiviat's mag
ic mark, barring accidents, was doom
ed to pass into oblivion.
Overton led the way over nearly the
entire trail, with Meyers and Mike
Devunney, of the Milrose A. A., the
only other starters, close on his heels.
Meyers jumped to the front after pass
ing the half-way mark, but again re
linquished the pathfinding job to Over
lon after, a series of intermittent
sprints that carried through the two
following laps.
The 12-pound shot uncovered an in
tercollegiate point-winning prospect
in the person of D. C. Sinclair, of
Princeton, who heaved the lead ball
jan actual distance of 51 feet 8 %
inches, for a new Middle Atlantic Dis
trict and Meadowbrook games record.
The old mark of 50 feet 3 inches was
formerly listed among the personal ef
fects of Wallace Maxtield, late of La
fayette. Sinclair was presented with
a handicap of one foot six Inches, and
consequently won the event hands
down.
Apparently inspired by these per
formances, the timber toppers also got
the record-breaking habit. In the
first heat of the 50-yard low hurdles.
John J. Eller, of the Irish-Americans,
snapped the string in 6 1-5 seconds,
| equaled the world's indoor record,
held by himself, to be followed a few
minutes later by a similar perform
ance on the part of J. G. Loomls, of
the Chicago A. A., in winning the final
heat from scratch. Eller was shut
out in his semi-final heat. Earl Thom
son, the Dartmouth speed demoti,
thrusting his anatomy across the line
for second place in the final with Far
well, of Yale, and Watts, of Cornell,
third and fourth, respectively.
Again in the 50-yard high hurdle
invitation scratch race, Thompson and
John M. Watts, of Cornell, showed the
way, the two heats of the event in
seven seconds fiat equaling the world's
indoor record.
Ed Mellinger Defeats
Harrisburg Academy
Ed Mellinger, of the Franklin and

It is still a fight between Yale and
