Things
Philadelphia, April 52.—The twenty- [
fourth annual renewal of the Penn- I
sylvania Relay Carnival, which will'
be held on Franklin Field next Fri/- i
day and Saturday afternoons. will !
bring together the greatest gathering j
of atheletic teams that have ever par- j
ticipated in the relay carnival. Four
hundred teams, representing various
schools, colleges, and army and navy
camps throughout the country, have
entered for the two-dav events, mak
ing an individual competitive list of
more than 2.000.
The games were first instituted in i
1595. as a result of an idea originating
with Frank R Ellis of Pennsylvania.
In the inaugural about twelve colleges !
and twenty schools participated, and 1
the meet at that time was considered j
a big affair. It continued to grow i
with each succeeding year. until t
three years ago the management was
forced to discard the one-day pro
gram and arrange the meet over two
days. No wthe officials are bur
dened with work arranging the event,
so that it can be completed in the
space of two days.
World'* Record* tine t|i
The greatest interest is expected to
center in the opening day of the car- :
nival. This* has officially been term
ed Army and Navy Day and a most
promising program has been arranged.
Seven military and naval events are!
down for decision and in these the
entries have been large. Some of the i
greatest athletes of the country ere!
among those entered, and they will
show their abilities at wall scaling,
squad drills, bugle competition, rescue
race, bayonet charge race one-half {
mile relay race in light marching or- ;
der. and a tnedley relay race. Some j
of the enlisted stars who will be seen ,
are Howard Berty, former all-around
college champion: Andy Kelly. 300- ■

Included in Friday's competition,
also will be the pentathlon, in which !
trials will be held for the six- ,
teen athletes who have entered for'
the title. This collection of aspirants j
includes nominations from, Notre !

South, Rutgers, Dartmouth. Penn i
State. Lafayette, and Swarthmore. in '
addition there will be college relay,
championship races, and a number of
scholastic relays mostly for Philadel

Some time in the near future
when all forces at the Ordnance
Depot. Middletown. are fully organ
ized. there will be something doing
in athletic sports. 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. Grammar
school boys are busy and their June
meet promises real competition,
Jess Willard Is showing little con

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."

The best shooter for Harrisburg in
this match was James McCann. It is
none other than Harrisburg's best
roundsman and terror to evildoers.
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.
