In a listless, uninteresting contest _>layed in the Allison Hill League I last evening Hick-A-Thrift handed a game to Reading, presenting the i railroaders with fifteen runs, while they themselves were fortunate to secure a solitary tally. The "Hickies' "spilled the beans" u the very first round, when six feses on balls, an error, a hit bats lan an rt three hits sent a round ten uns o' r the pan." With the game irown away, neither side played ' aseba', and the game became the j tost jninteresting of the season j rom the spectators' viewpoint. The losers used three pitchers. In-j ieding Griffin, Sheaffer and R. Rei- I •11. The first two were extremely j did and forced several Reading layers o<'er the plate. "Tim'" Ku- J ler tossed for the railroad lads and; ■eld his opponents to four scattered ; Bits. Sheaffer made the lone run for ; ■is team. ' W To-night Rosewood will oppose Hick-A-Thrift in a postponed con-1 test. The Rosewoods are leading the j league with five victories and one idefeat. Manager Earl Killinger has Bad a series of hard luck with his ■itchers, and desires to sign up sev- j Bral good tossers, who should com- i kunicate with him.

C. game at i Fourth and Seneca streets, where the home club meets St. Mary's, of Steel ton. This is the bunch that trimmed ; West End, 6-5, in the opening game, and to-morrow West End will try to j even up, the chances being good, for i their team presents almost a new ; front. There are Earl Walz, the i gentleman who walloped tho Tele | graph club so seriously; Tom Giblin, ! outfielder; "Babe" Brown, who used I to be with Connie Mack, and McCur jdy at first base. "Mac" is called the i Hal Chase of Harrisburg and he bids fair to equal that phenomenon. The game starts at 3 p. m. and prepara tions have been made to accommo date a crowd of 2,000. Famous Bomb Expert in Post Office-Aviator Game j Manager Weaver, of the Post Of- I flee team, has all tne arrangements J made for the big game with Lieu ! tenant Flood's Aviators on the Is land grounds on Friday evening. The flyers have been practicing hard for this game and expect to drop a few bombs in the camp of the mail boys. Captain "Johnnie" Kurtz, of the local team, will have Kepford. the celebrated hand-grenade throw er, on the firingline. with Mower and Goodhart, two well-known spitball throwers, on the reserve. Kurtz claims that Kepford will be able to shoot the flyers down as fast as they ; come up. The game will start at 6 ' o'clock and a big crowd will turn : out to see the avKtors flying. No I admission will be charged. 1 Young Harrisburg broke loose yes terday at the grammar school track I games with an eaplosion so whole , some and gigantic that many par -1 ents to-day must regret their indif ference in attending this great local ! athletic event. As It was, only a 1 comparatively few adults made the ! short journey on foot, motorists be ing as scarce as green carnations, j and the only thorn in a beautiful i rose was that more of Harrisburg"s ' population was not there to be gal vanized and third-railed properly. Imagine the scene as Referee W. O. | Hickok waved an imperious hand for j the fracas to start. Thousands of I school children, a majoity of them | girls, in myriad colored frocks, bank ed on the bleachers, simply howling ' themselves hoarse, for never before ; was there observed such keen school rivalry. The weather was all that could be asked for, and young Har rishurg made up its mind to pry oft the lid. Many well-known men of the city looked on in amazement and with utmost relish, especially a party of ministers who had never witnessed the spectacle. So strik j ing was the whole panorama that a long, double-englned passenger train rolling over tl!e Cumberland Valley bridge was halted to permit the pas sengers to take a good look so they could tell about it back home. Bedlam that it was, the event went oft with precision and speed due to the officials of the Harrisburg Track Athletic Committee, Dr. Charles B. Fager, A. Reeder Ferriday and V. Grant Forrer, not to mention a vast number of temporary officials who did excellent work in helping handle the complicated events. The extreme SXBBISBTTRO JESlggtf TELEGJCKFB concern of the little girl spectators and their vital interest in the con tests brought out many a comment to the effect that it was a pity girls are not taking part in athletic car nivals of this sort, although the run ning events were so severe that quite a few boys completely flopped be fore the last stretch. * As the various events proceeded i excitement became more and more i tense until the bipr stunt of the after ' noon, the one-mile relay race, when 1 the spectators, quite maddened by i the classic running of two contest ants. rushed the police aside and carried off the victors shoulder high. No athletic tournamrtit here ever pried open such a demonstration as this one-mile struggle. It developed half a dozen heroes in as many min utrs and closed with an ovation that will long be remembered for Fo limd, champion of Forney, the day's winner, and for Spurl, of Melrose. This race seemed a certain win for Wickersham and right here it should be emphasized that the colored boys yesterday surely gave renown to Har risburg. It would be hard to find a i squad equal to Armstrong, T. John son, Jackson, Keyes and Vennie in any grammar school through all America. That these wonderful runners should have been nosed out at the very finish is all the more tribute to Foland and , Spurl. The final lap in this historic race found the colored boys with a seventy-flve yard lead and the arena was actual ly groaning with agony, many of the little girls crying. Then, all of a sudden Something happened. Fo land, his head up, chest out, his eyes blazing like an old Viking warrior after big game, let out a couple more links of speed and Spurl fol lowed suit, both pulling up rapidly. Neck and neck raced Foland and Keyes and when about ten feet from the tape Foland shot ahead of the colored boy while the very heavens shook with cheers. Just then Spurl, who had one more spurt left in his strong young carcas, sailed out in front of the Forney hero and so had the credit of being first. Foland was responsible for For ney winning the meet, although this school had a good battling average all the way through, her representa tives being in every final event, ex cept the junior relay. Foland cap tured first honors in the running high jump with a lead of four feet ten inches as well as first place in the 120-yard low hurdles in the fine time of 16 3-5 seconds.

"Ringer" in Wickersham Changes Results of Meet At noon to-day the Harrisburg Athletic Association discovered that fifure results of the track meet printed this morning were wrong, owing to the discovery that Wicker sham school had won unfairly with a "ringer" In the person of Russell Jackson, who was credited with win ning the 220-yard dash and taking part in the mile relay.
