Plans are already under way for the organization of a ball team. D. W. Bell, chief of police, and John M. G. Grab, lieu tenant of police, are star players. Their forces include good material. When fully organized this team will challenge any bluecoat team in the etate. Lancaster High is out with a strong track team and a good sched ule. These athletes are not listed for Harrlsburg. With scarcely a month oft until the date for the an nual high school track meet, no plans bave been taken up for this classic meet. There have been some rumors that the meet would be called oft this year. A general opin ion prevails that there is no reason for this action. If it Is possible, event at a later there should be a school meet. High school athletes are anxious to get together. The Harrlsburg Track Athletic Committee has been trying U> start some activity, but there ap pears to be little Interest.

STEELTON SHOTS WERE CHAMPIONS One Time When Harrisburg Livebird Shooters Had to Take Second Place Harrisburg- did not always have the champion livebird shooters. Steel ton during the years of 1880 and 1881, had a team of livebird shooters who had it all over Harrisburg. These shooters retired from the game many years ago hut those alive are still close followers of the sport. One of these veterans. Jack Downs, well-known in Steelton and Harris burg, has two old papers in his pos session that tell of two matches. Two days after one shoot was held at Harrisburg driving park, Decem ber 26, the Daily Independent print ed the following: Harrisburg TS. Steelton 'The Harrisburg and Steelton gun clubs met on Saturday last and en gaged in a shoot at pigeons. Kach man shot at 15 birds and as can be seen by the score appended, the Steelton men tumbled most of the swift wingod messengers and sent our Harrisburg boys home feeling con vinced that they know how to shoot down there as well as handle red metal."

Livebird shooting in those days was not as it is now. These two events were shot under Rhode Island rules, permitting the use of but one barrel. Shooters were required to hold their guns below the elbow, and they were not permitted to shoot until the blr# was 20 feet in the air. Now two barrels are used and birds are shot as soon as they start to lly. Akoona League Players Somewhere in France Altoona.
