WHO WOKE UP
GEORGE W. HILL?
Too Late, Secretary Invites
School Teams Here For
Annual Meet, May 25
Who exploded a bomb under
George W. Hill, secretary of the Har
rlsburg Track and Athletic Commit
tee? Who woke up Mr. Hill, any
way, in this brutal fashion? Secre
tary Hill was soundly sleeping, the
sleep of indolence, active enough over
at the Island games, but absolutely
comatose lai.t January when he
should have, as usual, arranged for
the interscholastic track meet, which
is an annual event in the Capital
City. All the athletes in town have
been asking why Mr. Hill did not
send out the invitations to state
schools long ago so they could make
their arrangements and have a big
line of contestants here in the latter
part of May. Mr. Hill declined to
answer, but he has answered now.
"The annual high school track and
tleld meet Is to take place on May
L'j at the Island," he suddenly in
formed last night, shaking the snow
off his feet after months of silence.
This is line management. Harris
burg ivas looked up to as the leader
in athletic contests, the one place
lor teams from all over the state
to gather.. The event called out as
many as 7,000 spectators. It was one
of the big fetes of Harrisburg.
Members of the Athletic Commit
tee who were seen last evening ex
pressed themselves as indignant that
the committee had been given abso
lutely no opportunity to make plans
for the meet, decide on a date or to
look after tho many details that such
a big athletic event entails.
Several members of the committee
expressed grave doubts whether a
meet called at such a late date would
be a success, inasmuch as many
schools doubtless have May 25 filled
up with other events and will be un
able to send a team to Harrisburg
on that date.
It was declared last night that the
only way a meet of the size and im
portance of the annual interscholas
tic event can possibly be made a
credit to the city is by months of
careful preparation. This preparation
has been absolutely lacking this
year, it was pointed out, and, in
fact, the calling of the meet was
termed as "altogether irregular" by
one member of the committee.
Park department officials declared
they had absolutely no knowledge of
the proposed meet and expressed
surprise that they had not been of
ficially informed of the date before
it was made public.

Burns, Tioga Terror,
Makes Record Hit
G E OKGE BURNS.
George Burns, the Tioga Terror,
was hero yesterday in one of the
most sensational games ever staged
in tho Shibe stockade. The White
Sox had one run and Tillie Walker
tied the score with a homer. Then
Burns strolled up to the marble, evi
dently a little peeved. He leaned
back and swung so hard that the ball
cleared the left tleld walp x back of
the bleachers. Never in its history
of ten years had Shibe Park seen
this feat duplicated. It is doubtful
if any one ever again puts the ball
over this left field wall.

This afternoon the St. Mary's

with the Heading team of the Alli
son Hill league on the Fourteenth
mid Chestnut streets diamond. The
same promises to be a fast one, as
the Reading: team is leading the Al
lison Hill League with two victories
and no defeats, while the St. Mary's
squad has been playing top-notch
ball since the opening of their sea
son several weeks back. This con

A fast game is promised at the

this afternoon, when the Highspire
and West End nines will clash in
the second game on the West End
schedule. This contest will be sig
nificant in the fact that it will bo
Russell's last game. The speedy
lirst baseman will leave this city on
May 14 to enter the National Army.
After Russell's departure his posi

filled by Wrightstone, another fast

to-day's game and galloping around
his favorite position at short.

8-1, 6-0. Nestor was outplayed
