INTERSCHOLASTIC OFFICIALS PREPARE BASKETBALL SCHEDULE—AMUSEMENT GOSSIP MOTIVE POWER TEAM IS LOSER "Red" Owens' Champs Lack Timely Hits; Other Winners in P. R. R. League Philadelphia, May 28. —The initial engagement in this city in the P. R. R. Motive Power League was held at the Y. M. C. A. grounds Sat urday, the Quakers downing Harrls burg in a hard-fought pitchers' battle, 4 to 3. Both slabmen showed splendid form, but errorless support behind Rice allowed him to retire from the fuss as victor. Ryan proved the hero of the day. After scoring two of his pals by a long drive to the center garden and tying the score In the seventh, he made a daring steal to the home plate with the win ning count. Anderson starred for the visitors with a two-basa blow that allowed three runs to cross the plate. An Interesting feature of the game was the work of "Red" Owens, the old Tri-Stater. who is playing the "come-back' - role. He accepted nine chances at the initial sack without an error. Trenton Loses Out Trenton was lowered from first place apartments by Baltimore in a thrilling: twelve-inning game, which resulted in the Jersey boys taking the short end of a 2 to 1 score. Al though Matthews outpitched his op ponent, his teammates failed in the field. Meadows took possession of first place by defeating New York in a close game. 6 to 5. A combination of errors by the Oothamites in the closing session after they had the game sewed up allowed Meadows to add four tallies and jratn the vic tory. The pitching of Mayo after the seventh and the hitting of C'ast ner Leo and Hver were the high spots during the matinee." ■Wilmington had an easy time in serving Washington with its third defeat. 11 to 1. It is evident that the Capital boys will have to strengen their team considerably to stand' the gaff in this organization. Holveck and Coffin held Washington to three scratch hits.

GERMAN SPY CAPTURED Milwaukee, Wis., May 28. —On a ) desk of th navy recruiting station is i an Iron Cross. When Lieutenant John L Rieheldaffer was asked how it came to lie there he said it was taken from a German spy in Milwaukee, and that the work of capture had been per formed by Ensign D. J. Coleman, whose specialty since Joining the navy has been the apprehension of suspected persons. The spy was be trayed by a woman and was caught after an exciting chase in which powerful motorcars flgrured. There were mysterious letters, in which the spy itself was implicated, together with a man from Syracuse, N.

MONDAY EVENING, THREE BIG POINT WINNERS AND RECORD BREAKERS IN ST A TE HIGH SCHOOL MEET HELD HERE SA TURD A Y !y_ ■>■ •^•-^ > I ~ 1 '~ •- •••▼%. -• "'" The above pictures show Pemminpr of Tech on the right in the finish of the 440-yard dash, in which he set a new mark; HSbner of Tech on the left doing: the broad jump, and hanging up a new mark; and at the bottom, of Tech making the high hurdles and scoring a new mark. These bovs were also big factors in other events. TECH BREAKS RECORDS IN HIGH SCHOOL MEET; FRESHMEN SET FAST PACE When Technical high school scored 113 points in the State interscholas tic meet on the Island Saturday, more than all the others combined, it broke all previous records for high scores, in 1914 when Tech first got the habit of cleaning up on track, the Maroon lads totaled 85 points. Then there were thirteen entries. In 1915 there were fifteen high schools competing and Tech ran up a total of 9014. Last >ear with ten entries Tech scored 85 points. Satur day Tech went over the century mark, with 9 schools entered, seven actually competing, as Lancaster and Lvkens failed to put in appearanec. For the good of the meet, it is the general belief, that Tech ought to quit winning. Next year there will likely be fewer entries. For Tech already having two legs on the shield, schools from away will not spend the money to come here. The more remarkable is Tech's victory when it is taken into consid eration that the coaches did not use Captain Sutch, "Eddie" Harris, E.vster, Mell, Fitzpatriek, and several others who are sure point winners and who would have added to the final totals. Freshmen New Stars Tech did not need these veterans with this list of freshmen, all of whom won points: Beck, Wilsbach, Hefkin, Weigle, Oscar Miller, Malick, Zimmerman. It would have been possible for Tech to enter its fresh men class team, and at that would have had an easy victory. The local victors scored in every event. They scored thirteen points in the hammer throw, while in the 4 40-yard dash they tallied one point less. The nearest they came to not scoring was in the pole vault where but one point was secured. The sum mary of events show that records were broken in the broad jump, one mile relay, 220-yard hurdles, and equaled in the 120-vard hurdles, lech athletes were the record break ers.
