Shank, presi dent of the Harrisburg Sportsmen's Association, and Fred W. Dinger, field captain, a large delegation of shooters will leave the city Thurs day for a three-day trip. The first stop will be Marietta. This is the home of C. E. Humer, a former state livebird champion, and it is also one of the liveliest shooting towns in Pennsylvania. For its size' Marietta has staged more important events than many cities much larger in population. There will be plenty of white flyers and some blue rocks for a day of good sport. Friday at Lancaster On Friday the big shoot takes place at Lancaster. Word received from J. B. Brenneman, of that city, indicates plenty of livebirds for a big field. This shoot will be a ftftv bird event. In the first twenty-five bird count, the permanent owner ship of the Harrisburg challenge trophy will figure. This trophy which has been a much coveted prize for twenty-sevea years, has had many owners, including well-known Harrisburg shots. The man who gets it Friday keeps the historic prize. The week will end Saturday with a big livebird and target event at Spring Valley traps, Reading. The Hercules Gun Club, one of the most prominent organizations in the state, will stage a big contest. On the program is a shootoff to decide a tie hung up several weeks ago be tween Harry C. Hoffman, Philadel phia: James Somers, Easton, and Harry Zeigler. of Limerick center.

Hot After Local Boy For Scholastic Lead; Lebanon Star Active So close has become the race dur- f ing the past week, in the Central Pennsylvania Interscholastlc basket ball league for individual honors that the first position may be gained by either Frank, Nyquist or Huston. While Noble Frank is still in the lead, he lost ground to both Nyquist and Huston, through his few points scored against Tech and Lebanon, last week. Frank leads the procession, as has been the case all year, with an aver age of 22.80 per cent. Captain Ny quist, of Reading, has an average of 21.11, while Captain Huston, of Tech, has crept up to third place with an average of 19.63. Gingerich of York, is said to have left that in stitution, so that his average for the remainder of the year, will be sta tionery at 19.5". While it is unlikely that Frank will drop the lead after he has held it all season, yet in his two games at Chestnut street against Steelton and Tech. he will have to be active from the field and foul line to keep in the front. As both of Central's games are at Chestnut street, "Nob" will likely be a heavy scorer in the final contests. Lebanon Star Active Miller, the fleet Lebanon guard \ again repeated his performance j against Central by ringing- in 10 goals from the field. In the first j battle at Chestnut street auditorium. ! he caged 11 from field. Totalling; % §3 t 3 Name ' Team Position f I 1 \ 1 ti = r Z < L Frank Centra!

The afternoon was devoted to singles and doubles, with Mrs. R. Acker and Mrs. J. Kelly, of Chicago, leading the list in the doubles event, toppling over a total of 1,012 pins, a score which was better than many made during the American Bowling Congress tournament just closed, de voted exclusively to men. The leaders were closely crowded for high honors by Mrs. G. Jonas and Mrs. R. Abraham, of Milwaukee, who rolled just six pins less—l,oo6. The next best score in the doubles - as made by Mrs. Z. Quinn and Mrs. G. Darnblaaeis of-Chicago, their to tal being 985. In the singles the scores rolled by the women were not so good in com parison .with the doubles event. 535 being the best individual total, Mrs. O. Kissner, of Milwaukee, taking the lead. Next in line came Mrs. G. Greenwald, of Cleveland, with 525, while Mrs. H. Schroeder, from Mil waukee, totaled 507 in ,her three games. *i St. Ix>uls. —/"red Fulton, of Ro chester, knocked out Tom Crowler. of New York, in the fifth round of a scheduled eight-round bout here last night. [22 goals against Central, and sub tracting this from his final total of 45, shows that he has made but 28 goals in his other eight contests against the other teams of the cir cuit. He has found Central for wards easy to score against. This remarkable record against Central, will likely give him the final honors from the field, as he has lead from the beginning of the season. Two more games on the Lebanon court should help him to add to his total. George Porr, the new Steelton find, continues to do good work for the Blue and White, and has jumped to sixth place. Bohlen, the Allen town forward, is also gaining ground in the pennant chase. The best scoring team in the league would be composed of Frank at center; Ny quist and Huston at forward: with Beck and Miller at guard. Weston of Allentown. has scored more points from guard than has Beck, but most of his tallies are from fouls. Reinliard, Rodgers and Weuschin ski, at the guard positions, have been confining most of their work to the offensive side of play, and as a result, they have not as yet broken into the scoring column. Since next week will see the close of the race. ! few changes are expected, although I a slipup on the part of any of the | leaders may cause a decided change i in the .final results. How They Stand Fritz Maisel Will Play With St Louis This Year St. Louis, March 12.—Fritz Maisel will play with the St. Louis Browns this year, not with the Griffmen or the Red Sox, both of which clubs are gazing at him with longing eyes. That's what Bobby Quinn, business manager of the Mound City troupe, has to say. "Since my rftay in the East," says Quinn, "I have been more favorably impressed than ever with Shocker, Maisel and Gedeon. I had no less than six offers for Maisel, and at least half that many for Shocker. That shows what the other clubs think of them. "This talk about Maisel being dis satisfied with St. Louis is all wrong. ] Just to prove it is, I will say that I signed Maisel to a contract within fifteen minutes after I met him at a hotel In Baltimore. Fritz has assur ed me he is ready %o give us his best services. His explanation for his in different showing last season is that he was shifted about so often he couldn't show his best." Clark Griffith offered Ray Morgan and a sum of money, rumored to be about 15,000, for either Maisel or Gedeon, but in New York, Quinn pleaded lack of authority. Now that he has returned home, he ad mits that neither player will be al lowed to get away from the Brown ies. > HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH! Uncle Sam Comes First With Giants' Record-Smashing Outfielder —Dave Robertson , DAVC 3SOE>KRTSOI<r cSWr*. / Here's Daredevil Dave Robertson, the Giants' right fielder, who will not play ball this season. He is said to be engaged in making munitions or something else greatly needed by his Big Colleges Resume Activity in Sports; Baseball Takes Lead New York, March 12. —Intercolle- giate and inter-varsity athletic com petition among the eastern colleges and universities is to be resumed this season upon a scale closely ap proaching of normal times, ac cording to the announcement of the various institutions. From a list comprising more than sixty of the leading institutions of the section, prepared by The Associated Press, but two were found to have aban doned all sport for the next few months. While the schedules are not in general as lengthy as in past years, there will be far more compe tition than was the case in 1917, and a number of sports dropped last spring will be revived, i This is particularly true of rowing and track athletics. The Intercol legiate track and field championship meet will be restored and although the Poughkeepsie and New London four-mile championship regattas will not be resumed, there will be an un usual number of dual and triangular regattas in addition to the National Patriotic Regatta, at Annapolis, May 18, at which It is expected every col lege of the East which supports row ing, will be represented by one or more crews. Baseball Shows Gains Baseball and football also show sharp gains. Many of the extreme features of past baseball schedules, such as extended southern trips and lists of games running close to thirty for the season, have been eliminated but more colleges will be represented upon the diamond, particularly among the larger institutions. Foot ball, which was quite extensively played last fall, has gained more re cruits and if Harvard, Yale and Princeton decide to revive their schedules, even In curtailed form, the season of 1918 will not fall much be low those of normal years. Football continues to be the lead ing sport of the collegians, but base ball Is a close second, with track third and tennis fourth. Golf, la crosse and soccer is found upon some lists, which in the case of a few In stitutions, includes as many as six different branches of sport in which there will be Inter-collegtute compe tition. Rowing holds the place of honor fpr every university which have supported eights in recent years and will have boat crews this spring and engage in one or more races which, however, will not ex ceed two miles in length.

Matchmaker Bill Davis announced that at a con ference between Greb and Gibbons, the date was decided upon and part of the tgrms. Greb will receive a guarantee of $3,000. The matter of a privilege was not taken up with him, nor was the money end dis cussed with Gibbons to any extent. Eddie Kane, manager for Gibbons, nays ho is more concerned In getting the match, than he is in demanding the last cent. , Davis just now does not know where the bout will he held.

Although Ihe Camp Hill High school varsity team was compelled j to close its season with four games | on its schedule yet to be played, the ■ management is not discouraged and ! has started to make plans for the j next season. In order to arouse more cntliu-! siasm and interest in the game on] til* West Shore, Prof. Fred Hockey. I principal oT the Camp Hill High j school suggests a league of West I Shore High school teams. This league | to embrace Knola, Lemoyne, West Fail-view, New Cumberland, Me chanicsburg and Camp Hill. Teams Evenly Matched ' A league of this strength would find most of the teams evenly match ed and would enable students to get acquainted with those of. other towns. Prof. Rockey is talking to principals of the schools in other towns of the move and although none have voiced their sentiments, it is likely that they will favor such a. move for the sole purpose of "get ting together." For three years the Camp Hill team was the only representative team on the West Shore. This ag gregation was made up of young boys and naturally was not as strong as some of the teams they were forced to meet in order to schedule games. Consequently the team suf fered many defeats although they showed up well against fast teams. The league as suggested by Prof. Rockey would be composed of teams whose members are of about the saVne age. This would make the teams evenly matched and the games interesting. Prof. Rockey writes to the Telegraph sports editor as fol lows: Prof. RooVey Talks "Though the Camp Hill High school boys' basketball team has closed its season, the management is already making plans for next year's sport. 'Bob' Dunkle, who aoached the team this year, has been retained as coach for next season. Three of this year's squad will be lost by gradua tion but Coach Dunkle has a good squad from which to select his ma terial. "Prof. Fred Rockey, the principal of the High school, would like to see a league of West Shore High school teams next season. There is no doubt but that such a venture would be a success from the start. Enola, Lemoyne, West Fairview, New Cum berland, Mechanlcsburg and Camp Hill could make up a six-club cir cuit that would keep things hum ming from the start. The schools are nearly the same size and because of their nearness to each other, the guarantees would be small. Then, too, there would be keen rivalry be tween the different towns and rec ord-breaking crowds might be ex pected. Any West Shore principals interested in this venture should communicate with Prof. Rockey."

The public' does not care for talk. If any man ager believes he has a team that can clean up all others, let him show; his sincerity by arranging games; at. once, on an elimination plan.! There are four teams in Harrisburgl that have a right to talk champion ship, the Independents, Rosewood.) Hassett and Tarsus. These teams] have been playing the game all sea- j son, and the Independents have the right to be dictators. Teams that i have played less than five games] should receive no consideration.! This is an opinion expressed by :i' well-known basketball authority last night. Within the next seven days, base-! ball teams will be on the move to southern camps. Spring is not a| great way off. In this vicinity ac-! tivity at Steelton is arousing much ■ interest. The Bethlehem Steel Cor-j poration League promises some rare sport this season. Local amateur teams will keep up local interest.

Col. Russler of the Cumberland team has secured the signatures of six players for his team already. Frederick, has signed Pitcher Hook, who smashed last year's league records by pitching an 18-in ning game of scoreless ball against Martinsburg. Ho&erstown to Get Busy A meeting will be held hero this week to organize for the season. Col. J. C. Roulette, a wealthy manufac turer, who has been president of the team for several years, may resign in favor of a younger man. Lawrence Steinbach, of Hanover, last year with the B. R. League, has been signed by the Columbus, O. team of the American Association for the season. He will report to Manager Joe Tinker on April 1. Steinbach is a catcher, and was formerly with the Lancaster, Pa. team and the Newport News team of the Virginia League several years ago.

' Gold Cross For Ump in American League Chicago, March 12.—The 1918 staff of umpires in the American League will be the same as last sea son, President Johnson announced yesterday. Thomas Connolly, who has been an umpire for twenty-flve years, has been presented with a gold cross as a reward for his services. The staff. Including Connolly, fol lows: William G.

The first thing he knows he will have to fight, and may be obliged to meet a young man who has a little more ability than the champion. Harrisburg will be In evidence this week in important shooting contests. On Thursday at Marietta, Friday at ! Lancaster und Saturday at Reading. ! The one reason why local shooting ; events are always a success is be , cause Harrisburg shots are always found on the entry list when there | is a big event away from home. One writer puts it, "It is a league ' against Allentown." That Is true, ; but just now it looks like Allentown 1 against the league. The comeback i form shown by the tailonders is an 1 indication that there is likely to be a ; strong contender from that town | next season. "Talking about leagues." said a j fan the other day, "whether it bo basketball or baseball, once the lead | ers have a safe percentage, it ceases | to be a league. It is a conspiracy." There is a probability that Tech j High's opponents next Thanksgiving | Day will be a Philadelphia High I school team. There is nothing offi ■ cially announced along this line, ex- I ccpt that recently in a. Philadelphia paper, it was said that one of the i Quaker City High school teams was I anxious lo get a chance with Tech. ] P. L. Grubb, the athletic director at 1 Tech, has written a letter to the I Philadelphia High school authorities ! and awaits a reply. There is a rule | in that city, prohibiting any high i school team from competing beyond i a fifty-mile limit. However, rules | are not hard to get rid of If the intentions are good. 1 Steelton Champions Win in Game With Shimmell Central grammar school, of Steel ton, won yesterday's game with the Shimmell school five, of this city, score 57 to 22.
