STAR ATHLETES
GOOD AVIATORS;
GET ffIGH PRAISE
Ted Meredith, With Hobcy
Baker, Wins Honors in
Special Flights
TED MEREDITH
Washington, March 23.—An appre
ciation of American aviators in
France was received here in an of
ticial French dispatch quoting the
Petit Parisien, as follows:
"Our American allies, who are be
ginning- to reinforce our numbers,
are already proving their value.
They are sportsmen, and show much
interest in athletic exercises in the
training of pilots. Among them let
us cite the holder of the world's rec
ord for running Ted Meredith, who
ij finishing: his instruction some
where in France.
"The famous football and hockey
player, Hobey Baker, is already on
the front • and has two victories to
his credit. Sergeant Putnam has
been longer at work. He achieved
his flrst success the 15th of January,
the second the 27th of January and
his third the 15th of March. We can
have confidence in the aid brought
by the American pilots. Before long
2,000 of them, perfectly trained, will
take their places in the ranks of our
allied army."
Ted Meredith
James Edwin (Ted) Meredith was
commissioned in the Aviation Corps
last October, after spending several
months studying at Ithaca, N. Y„ and
Mt. Clemens, Mich. The name of Ted
Meredith is known the world around
for his accomplishments in track
_ athletics. He was a member of the
last Olympic team in 1912 and broke
the 800-meter and half-mile records
ir. the international games in Stock
holm, Sweden.
Second Honors For Baker
Although it was the first time that
I.ieutenant Meredith has been men
tioned in the official dispatches, it
is the second tribute to be paid to
the war record of Lieutenant Baker.
Oa January 8 a dispatch from France
stated that "a former football cap
tain at Princeton, now a lieutenant in
the Flying Corps, had brought down
his first German plane."
Like his fellow aviator, Lieutenant
Hobart Amory Hare Baker Is famous
in the athletic world. During three
of his undergraduate years at Prince
ton he was a star halfback on the
football team and captained the Old
Narsau eleven in his last season,
1913. He was also a member of the
Princeton hockey team.
After his graduation. Lieutenant
Baker joined the Crescent hockey
team, of New York, and gained great
renown at the winter sport. He was
reputed to be the best and speediest
hockey player in the United States.
"Hobey's" first official (light was
made long before he enlisted and is
remembered well by those who at
tended the Yale-Princeton football
game at Princeton in the fall of 1916.
Lieutenant Baker led an aerial squa
dron which flew from Mineola to the
Princeton field that day.

Tech Wins Title in
Final League Game;
Trim i entral Team
Tech won last night's game from
Central High, score 41 to 28.. It was
a decisive victory, the Maroons dis
playing that superiority in the cage
game which was in evidence all sea
son. It was the flrst time Tech has
won a local cage series between the
two schools. Tech's fast floor work
and accurate shooting was 'in evi
dence throughout the game.
The game was the best seen in
Harrisburg this season. The passing
of the Tech boys was a feature of
the game. Time after time in the
second • half the Maroons passed
around the Central defense for a
score. Tech took advantage of every
opportunity to score and made four
teen field goals. Central was not able
to locate the basket and only caged
three from the field. That made the
scoring about four to one. It is the
general opinion that Coach Miller
made this year's team not only the
best five to ever represent Tech. but
developed a real champion team.
Central Oft in Shooting
Central's shortcoming was their in
ability to make Held goals. More
than once the Forster street team
failed to score because of inaccurate
shooting. Twenty-two of Central's
points came from fouls. Nobe Frank,
the Central center, took advantage
of liis twjenty-slx chances from the
foul line and caged twenty-two. The
majority of the fouls called on Tech
were on interference with a Central
man while shooting.
Captain Huston and Beck played
best for Tech. Each of these lads
got four field goals and Huston caged
thirteen out of fifteen from the free
line. Besides being high scorers for
their team these players were in evi
dence all the time in the floor work.
Lingle and Kohlman did good work
for Tech, but nvere not as good as
Beck and Huston.
Frank scored all but four of his
team's points and cinched the league
scoring honors. Fields and Wright,
the two forwards, played good games
hut failed to do much scoring. Fields
was still strange at liis position. Cap
tain Wolfe and Rodgers, the two
guards, played very good games.
Captain Wolfe was in every play and
did a great deal of the Central work.
Rodgers proved his ability as a guard
by holding Lingle, the fastest for
ward in the league, to two goals from
the field.
Referee Carney pleased every one
by his good work. There was not a
kick at any of his decisions and his
officiating was by far ihe best of any
this yea#.
Huston First Scorer
Huston opened the same with a
f ml. Frank caged one from the fif
teen-foot mark. Frank was fouled
while shooting and got two fouls.
Huston made another foul. Frank
made a foul. Huston made the first
field goal of the game on a long shot
from the middle of the floor. Huston
got three fouls. Frank made a foul,
and then missed one. Frank got an
other free one. Frank was fouled
while shooting. He made two fouls.
Huston intercepted a pass under the
basket and made his second field
goal. Huston missed a foul and sev
eral minutes later made one. Beck
made his first score on a very pretty
shot from the side of the floor.
Frank made a foul. Wolfe was foul
ed while shooting and Frank made
two more fouls. Frank made an
other foul. Just as the whistle blew
for time Frank caged another foul,
making the score 13 to 12 ip Cen
tral's favor.
Second Half
In the second half Huston opened
the scoring with a foul. Wright made
a field goal after dribbling tfce ball
the length of the floor. Franlr made
a foul. Wilsbach caged a two-point
er. Huston made one out of two
fouls. Kohlman made the prettiest
shot of the game on the next play.
He received a pass while going at
full speed and made a fine one-hand
ed shot over his head. Huston made
another foud. Wilsbach caged an
other two-pointer.
Frank made a long one from the
center of the floor. Frank made an
other foul. Huston was injured and
time had to be taken till he got in
shape. After several minutes the
Tech captain regained his wind and
took his place.
There was twelve minutes left to
play and the score was 25-19 with
Tech in the lead. Beck jumped one
in from under the basket. Foul by
Frank. Kohlman intercepted a pass
and made another field goal. Frank
made another free one. Huston shot
a foul. Frank missed two in succes
sion from the fifteen-foot mark.
Beck Scores Again
Beck jumped another one in.
Frank made one out of two fouls.
Fields made his lone field goal.
Frank made two fouls after a Cen
tral man was fouled while shooting.
Frank made another foul. Lingle
made a pretty shot from the side of
the floor. Beck made a field goal.
Frank got a foul. Huston shot a
foul. Smith substituted for Kohl
man. Beck made a pretty shot. Mil
ler substituted for Lingle. The game

Notes of the Game
By N. E. VTRAL
Tech won the leagrue pennant at
the expense of the Blue and Gray
team in one of the fastest games
of the season.
Central had a new life in last
night's game and during the first
half seemed like a winner. High led
the score at the end of the first half,
at 13 to 12.
After five minutes of play in the
second half Tech opened up and
swept Central players oft their feet.
By brainy shooting and playing
Tech was able to keep a lead of
from six to twelve points in the sec
ond period.
Two points were scored in the
first five minutes of play. ' Frank
and Huston shot goals from the free
line in this period.
Huston caged a hair-raising shot in
the first half. The captain shot a
clean basket from the center of the
floor.
The cheering was so terrific in the
first half that several times players
did not hear the referee's whistle
ar.d kept on playing.
Spectators and players agreed that
Carney displayed the best ability of
olficlating of any referee in this city
for a long time.
Carney was exceptionally cool
headed and was "boss" of the game.
Players were not allowed to dictate
and did not even try to.
Tech players during the entire
game did not play as fast ball as
during the previous contest. The
men setemed to be a bit disorganized
at times.
Peter P. Carney is not only a good
official, but is some interesting sport
writer. His stories on trapshoooting
appear weekly in the Harrisburgl
Telegraph.
Joe Ohl Quits Baseball,
Joins the Naval Reserve;
Other Athletes Enlist
Philadelphia, March 23.—Joe Ohl,
Connie Mack's secretary, walked into
a recruiting office of the United
States Naval Reserve yesterday and
announced that he wanted to enlist.
He was sworn in as chief store
keeper.
"It's too big a game to stay out
of," said Joe after he had taken the
oath of allegiance. "I've been anx
ious to enlist for some time." He
brought a telegram along with him
from Pitcher "Jing" Johnson, indicat
ing that the pitcher was about to en
list, which will deprive Connie Mack
of his services this year.
Among 'the athletes taken In the
Naval Reserve with Ohl is Howard
Colegrove, center on the 1916 bas
ketball team at State College. Marty
Cross, former welterweight cham
pion of the Navy and brother of
Leach Cross, obtained a berth as

Lajoie Renigs on Deal;
Says He Will Not Report
Cleveland, 0., March 23.—Napoleon
Lajoie, whose purchase was an
nounced by the Brooklyn National
League team, denied last night that
he would report to the Brooklyn
team.
"Reports that I will report to the
Brooklyn club are. not true," said
I>ajole. "I have given my word to
Mr. McGill, the owner of the In
dianapolis club, that if the Interna
tional League does not continuo this
year I will manage the Indianapolis
club. And I will keep my word. If
the International League suspends, I
feel I should have something to say
about where I am to go, and I don't
care about going to the National
League, anyway."
DICKINSON TO
HAVE GOOD TEAM
Material Out Indicates a Win
ning Baseball Aggrega

Carlisle, March 23. —As the result
of Increased interest among the stu
dents and a big candidate response,
arrangements are being made by
Dickinson College athletic authori
ties to increase the scope of the
schedule for the baseball team and
in other varieties of spring sport.
Arrangements have been practically
completed for a game here with
Muhlenburg during commencement
week. In addition negotiations are
in progress by Manager Gangwer
with Lafayette, Delaware and the
University of Pennsylvania.
Forty men were on the field this
week for the nine alone and were
put through their paces by Coach
Mac Andrews. The material for the
nine looks good.
Harrisburg Boy Out
For the twirling positions the lead

New Handicap For Shoots
To Be Tried at Lakewood
It Is a Progressive and Well-Planned Program That the
Trap Gun Artists Will Devour in the Jersey
Pine Belt This Week
Uy PETER P. CARNEY
Keeping company with the far
famed mid-winter trapshooting
tournament at Pinehurst and the
mid-summer trapshooting carnival at
Maplewood, Is the spring tournament
at Lakewood.
Eleven years ago birth was given
to the Pinehurst tournament. The
Maplewood carnival first saw tho
light of day three years ago . The
Lakewood shoot was Inaugurated
two years ago this spring. Every
thing that Pinehurst and Maplewood
have done Lakewood hopes to do—
and more.
The program of this year's tourna
ment, which, by the way, takes place
on April 3, 4, 5 and 6, is the most
progressive ever presented to trap
shooters. It is a good one for the
high gun shooters and it also takes
care 6f the mediocre shots. Real
competition is provided in an up-to
the-minute classification of shooters.
Furthermore, the system of handi
capping which will be In vogue in
this shoot is being tried out for the
first time, and tho handicapping of
trapshoo>ters is a subject that one
can get an argument on at any time
—or place.
Appreciating that proficiency should
be rewarded by the test, the trophies
will be classified as well as the
shooters. Trophies in Class A will
be more valuable than the ones in
Class B, and the Class B trophies will
be of better value than those award
ed in Class C, and -'so on down the
list
Shoot For 18 Yards Title
Besides the 100 targets practice
event on the opening day, the eight
een yards Championship Challenge
Trophy will be up for competition.
The present holder is Fred Tomlin,
of P'ennsgrove, N. .T. He won it at
the Westy Hogans' shoot last Sep
tember. The shoot for this trophy
will be at 100 targets thrown sixty
yards, and is open to amateurs.
This trophy was first shot for in
1895, when live-bird shooting was all
the vogue. In 1911 it was put up for
competition among amateur clay
target breakers. One dollar of the
entrance money goes toward an ac
cumulation purse and when this fund
reaches S2OO the trophy is called in
and the shooters who have won the
cup since last accumulation purse
was shot for are eligible to shoot
for the S2OO, while all other amateurs
DODGERS LAND
NAPOLEON LAJOIEI
I
Toronto Manager Does Not
Favor Deal; Prefers the
American Association
New York, March 23.—Napoleon
Lajoie, veteran Inflelder, who man
aged tho pennant-winning Toronto
team in the International League
last year, has been purchased froni
Toronto by the Brooklyn National
League club.
Charles H. Ebbets. president of the
Brooklyns, said he had talked over
the telephone with Lajoie at Cleve
land and that the player said he had
no objection to playing with Brook
lyn, but that before signing a con
tract he would like to confer with
Ihe officials of the Toronto club. La
joie said he probably would report at
the Brooklyn training quarters at
Hot Springs within a few days.
Dlow to McGIII
Announcement of the sale by the
Toronto club of the International
League of Napoleon Lajoie to the
Brooklyn Nationals gave a setback to
the search of James C. McOiU, owner
of the Indianapolis American Asso
ciation team, for a manager to suc
ceed Jack Hendricks, now with the
St. Louis Nationals. McGlll had a
tentative agreement with Lajoie to
manage the Indians, provided the
former major leaguer could obtain
his release from the Toronto club.
He tried to reach Lajoie at his home
in Cleveland as soon as he heard of
the sale.
The Indianapolis owner says he
has received more than 100 applica
tions from persons wishing to man
age the 'local team.
Steelton Is Winner in

for the trophy and title.
Those eligible for the accumulation
purse are: Allen Heil, of Allentown,
Pa.; George N. Fish, of Lydonville, N.
Y.; William Foord, of Wilmington,
Del., and the present holder. The
late A. B. Richardson, of Dover, Del.,
also had a leg on the cup. The best
score made in this competition was
97, by Foord, in 1914, Heil in 1915
and Richardson in 1916.
New System of Handicapping
Following the eighteen yards
championship on successive days will
be shot the "Maplewood 100," the
Lakewood championship at sixteen
yards, and the Lakewood Handicap.
This event will be handicapped on
the 1917 averages of the trapshoot
ers on a scheme devised by J. Leon
ard Clark. Here Is how It goes:
Those having an average of ninety
five, nlnet-six or ninety-seven will
shoot at 100 targets; a ninety-four av
erage man will shoot at 101 targets;
a ninety-three average man at 102;
ninety-two average at 103; ninety
one average at 104; ninety average
at 105; eighty-nine average at 10G;
eighty-eight average at 107; eighty
six and eighty-seven at 108; eighty
four and eighty-five at 109; eighty
two and eighty-three at 110; eighty
and eighty-one at 111; seventy-eight
and seventy-nine at 112. As the
figures indicate, the mediocre shoot
er is thrown twelve more targets
than the good shooter, and there
fore had a better chance to make a
score. Besides this handicap ar
rangement, the class system will be
In vogue and so that the high guns
will not be eliminated there will be
six trophies for the shooters who do
best at 100 targets.
The usual number of trophies will
be given to the shooters with the
test averages on the program of
400 sixteen-yard targets.
New York A. C. Vs. IlcMon A. A,
One of the features of the tourna
ment will be a team competition be
tween the shooters of the Boston
Athletic Association and tie New
York Athletic Club. It will be nec
essary for the teams to name their
five men previous to the first day's
shooting. The scores made in the
sixteen yards events will bo counted.
Diamond medals will be given each
member of the winning team and the
club will be awarded a S6OO trophy,
which must be won three times to
retain possession.

Welcome to the new Scholastic
League champions. Three more
trophies for Technical High School.
Good work, boys, all season. Con
gratulations and many of them.
May the same thing happen next sea
son.
Central's prominence in basketball
passed out last season as far as Scho
lastic League contests are concerned.
Inter-class series will be the order
next year, there being but two
classes to get material from. Cen
tral has been doing good work ever
since athletics was made an impor
tant branch at that institution.
There are many trophies that tell of
glory won in school battles on grid-
Irons, basketball floors and on track
and field. Central spirit and rivalry
will be greatly missed.
If there is a way to do it, Bertram
W. Saul, aithletic director at Central
High School, should not be permitted
to cease activity. To him belongs
great credit for the good scholastic
sport that Harrisbtirg has enjoyed.
He has been a real leader at Central.
He is a valuable man in athletics.
With another week of good weath
er, local baseball managers expect to
start training. Just now everybody
is busy and practice must come in
the evenings. Saturday half-holi
days for the industrial workers will
furnish opportunity for good games.

For at least a few weeks, until 1
warm weather prevents, Harrlsburtr
light fans are promised a series of
interesting boxing exhibitions. It
all depends on the result of Tuesday
night's offering. The management is ;
putting forth every effort to make i
good, and, if the boys who are lined
up for battle do their work well,
there will be no knock coming. One,
thing is certain. "Pop" O'Brien will
not stand for any slacking. '
The advance seat sale for the 1
Tuesday night boxing show indicates
a crowd. Motive Power boys
should be given a liberal patronage.
The local athletic association has i
been a big factor in high-class sport.

good. It is certain that there will
be some real fighting when Sammy

a safe bet that "Tiughey" Murray Is |
not going to let K. O. Joe O'Donnell
have an easy time.
