NEW TALENT FOR STEELTON GLUB; HICKIES FORFEIT GAME CAUSING TIE-UP IN LEAGUE GREAT RUNNER NOWA FLYER Frank Shea, Quarter-Mile Prodigy, Has' Joined the Aviation Service Another famous athlete gone to war. This time it is Frank Shea, the wonderful ouarter-mUe runner of the University of Pittsburgh, who re ceutiy defeated the country at Frar.klln Field, running the quarter mile in 47 3-5 seconds, just 1-5 slow >'r than the record time made by Ticl Meredith. It was estimated that Shia cow id have surpassed this had li" been pushed by competition. Like many other star athletes Shea has entered the aviation serv ice and if the Huns do not get too nay there w.ll com* a time when T'.tcle Sam's flying army, teeming w'th athletes, will do a handspriag over Berlin. The fact that both Army and Navy devote much of their ef- ; fo:-t to making their units perfect i athletes shows how essential it is to ' have the best of training in a.! | schools. This Shea, for example. Is the result of the coaching of a prac tically unknown man. Prof. Andrew j Keir, a teacher of mathematics in Pittsburgh High school. His name j seldom appear in the papers but >e has had charge of athletics it j Pitt for three years and has turneii 1 ./'it many athletes. He took hold of Shea when he came from Irwin High j and with this prodigy and five others, j Kerr's smalt squad scored 30 points | at Franklin Field, as against tho | Cornell's 47. '."he othet great trainer to whom is due much of Pitt's success in the Hst four years is Glenn Warner, wm measures with Stagg. Houghton and Yost as a football coach.

Th* game is to be called at 3 o'clock. Manager Cockill to-day started to gather in an entirely new squad of ballplayers, beginning with Jack Knight who will he seen at tirst base when his probation is over. Among the new faces is that of Dick Kauff man, a very familiar face, to many, however, for he is well remembered as a Tri-Stater with York. He was recently with Nashville in the South ern League, which, like our own Blue Ridge organization, has been torpedoed in midocean. Accompanying Kauffman from the Nashville Barracks is Marshall who wears the mask and big mit and who appeared to sign a Steelton con tract. Cockill is pretty well provided with catchers now. On the way, it was announced, is another rtgxire familiar to Hurrisburg fans, nartiely that of Pitcher Phillips who used to fling 'em in the Tri-State. He has been improving while with the Southern League and Is expected to be able to take his regular turn in the box.

Th® i players are about evenly matched j and an interesting game is prom ised. "Bill" Strouse, manager ex officio of the store team, Is espe cially optimistic since he recently tendered a chicken dinner to his players, and he predicts that this will have a bolstering effect. "We'll show | 'em how to play real baseball," he declared.

TOMMY ATKINS LOVER OF SPORT Holds Merry Muscular Carni vals Behind Lines While Cannons Roar For the first time in the history of Merry England eight league baseball clubs have been established there and the games are drawing multituds of spectators, who are gradually getting fond of our national pastime. Nev- , ertheless. the British soldier clings to his own and especially to certain un common novelties described recently by a man who spent some time along the English lines. Wrestling on mules, for example, is one of these, a team event, and it should be noted that as the war continues the fact becomes more and more pronounced that one great difference between the German youth and that of Amer ica and England is that the latter love good, wholesome, amusing ath letic sport, while the German has never been a "player," confining him self mostly to "duelling.*! In the mule wrestling stunt four stout men from the transport sec tion, stripped to the waist and mounted on bareback mules, repre sent each battalion, and the team which has the last survivor wins. Beginning, each man singles out an opponent from the other side and makes for him. Four desperate struggles ensue, and it Is easy to see that whichever side gains the first victory is pretty sure to win. Thus, If a Warwick unhorses—or, more strictly, unmules—a Bedford, there are four Warwicks left to three Bed fords, so that, of the three battles still in progress, one Is a two-to-one affair. In the end it is likely to be four-to-one. and an unhappy business for the one. Perhaps the most surprising tiling about it is the Kindly way In which the mules take it. Their opportuni ties for biting suitably placed bodies are unlimited, but they seem more or less indifferent as to which side they favor. Pillow lighting in gas masks, seat i ed astride a pole, affords plenty of sport for the spectators. The pole may not be touched with the hands, so that there is nothing: to keep the contestants on It but balance. As often as not the first blow finishes the contest. If Soldier No. 1 lands a blow on his opponent's head, over goes the opponent, but If the head of Soldier No. 2 is not there to take the blow, the swing of the pillow is quite likely to dispose of Soldier No. 1. Alternatively, both contestants may hit. both miss and both disap pear together. Mopfighting, in whiclf the contest ant is mounted on the back of an other man. also makes an amusing number. The tug-of-war is always popular and there is a good deal of horseracing and jumping. A popular form of horserace is one in which the second horse under the tape wins. It is difficult, enough in an ordinary race on horseback to be first past the post, but It is said to be much more difficult to be deliberately Bec ond. It is a race which demands from the winner a good deal of judgment, a certain amount of luck and prob ably a self-sacrificing comrade in the same battalion, who is prepared to immolate himself on behalf of the regiment. The horses, brought up to the old-style racing, never get to un derstand the jockeying that goes on in a raee of this kind. Sports carnivals behind the lines are great holiday events, and the crowds of spectators areata interest ing as those at peace-time events of the same character. In these holiday crowds even generals become human, and the clowns and Pierrots of the brigade crack their jokes at the ex pense of staff officers with impun ity. There are always a few French civilians from neighboring villages and all the children from miles around. • The guns roll faintly beyond the hills, forgotten by the crowd (or a day at least. State College Coach Director of Army Camp State College, Pa., June 19.—"Bill", Martin, Penn State's track coach and freshman football mentor, has been appointed district athletic di rector for the Long Island military camps.

Galahad went into a tie for first place'*' in the Allison Hill League with the Reading aggregation, be cause of the forfeit last evening at the expense of the Hick-A-Thrift Club. A misunderstanding as to when the latter club was to play re sulted in the team toeing short two players. According to the league rules, Galahad was declared the win ner. The Hick-A-Thrift team will play Reading to-morrow evening, anil Manager Griffin will make a des perate effort to put the full strength of his team on the field. Reading is the only nine in th* league that the "Hickies" have not defeated, and to morrow evening the Pine street ag gregation will try to do the trick. A meeting of the officers and man agers of the league was held last night and the affairs of the league were discussed. Several fans were on hand and registered a complaint at the continual "grousing" on the part of several regulars in the left field bleachers. Players and spectators as sert that they would enjoy the con tests considerably more without the use of the supposed repartee. The diamond will be put in shape so that the grounds will be in good condition for the remainder of the contests. At the close of the week, one-half of the season will have been completed. Three of the four , teams are deadlocked for first place with chances even for success. Last night's meeting was in charge of President C. Howard Reel. All the teams were represented and all the officers present.

TENNIS WONDER IS GIRL OF 13 Granddaughter of "Fighting Joe" May Beat Molla Bjur stedt Some Day Miss Helen Hooker, granddaugh- j ter of General Hooker, • and just ; turned 13, with her hair in a braid 1 and her face in one big smile, played remarkable tennis in the Metro politan championship tennis events at Forest Hills, near New York. She sTiowed that she had speed, power and a head, and she' proved that she had fighting spirit and stamina, too. In one match she went forty-two games to win—and the old general himself could not have done better. Miss Hooker is probably the flnesit player of her age. Miss Helene Pollak was another sensation, especially after her de i feat of Miss Zindersteln, of Boston, who came with designs on the title, which ultimately went to the usual destination—Miss Molla Bjurstedt. The latter, who has already won the title twice, is now defending it at the Philadelphia Cricket Club courts. Miss Bjurstedt. national woman champion, made her first ap pearance in the doubles yesterday. Paired with Mrs. Johann Rogge, of Norway, she easily defeated Miss Carolyn Otis, of Bethlehem, Pa., and Miss Helen Ledoux, of Swarthmore. 16-1, 6-2. The most interesting match was I between Miss Clare Cassell and Mrs. DeForrest Candee, both of New York, in which Miss Cassell won. 7-5, 6-3. ATHLETICS GET SOOTT PERRY Percy Houghton, old Harvard ath lete, millionaire and owner of the Boston Braves is out with a state ment to-day that John H. Farrell, secretary of the National Associa tion of* Minor Leagues, is the per son responsible for Connie Mack getting Pitcher Scott Perry instead of the Braves recovering him. "President Johnson, of the Amer ican League, is deliberately misrep resenting the National League and the Boston Club," Houghton said, "and making it appear that the de cision in the Scott Perry case was made by the National Commission alone. The president of the Southern Association and Secretary John H. Farrell, of the National Association of Minor Leagues, also had votes, and I am disclosing no secret when ,1 state that it -was Mr. Farrell's vote which decided the case." Mayor Calls on Citizens to Buy War Stamps Calling upon Harrlsburgers to throw every ounce of support to War Savings Stamp Day on June 28. the proclamation of Mayor Daniel L. Keister was issued late yesterday. The Mayor's proclamation follows: "In pursuance with the proclama tion of the President of the United States and the Governor of Penn sylvania designating June 28 as War Savings Day throughout the state ! and nation, I, as Mayor of the city of Harrisburg. on that date call upon the people of this city to make great er efforts than ever before in the purchase of the stamps. In view of what this city has done and is now doing. I know that the people of Harrisburg will respond to an extent that will more than reach the quota which has been set as our share and our particular part in this particular i effort for furni4Jing the sinews of the war against the .Hun. The ! amount that one person is able to Invest for this effort has been set so low that no person is too poor to be unable to bear proudly his share ! in the struggle." U. B. EDUCATIONAL FUND NEARLY RAISED But $90,000 of the $250,000 endow ment fund for Lebanon Valley Col lege, Annville, remains to be raised. Congressman Aaron S. Kreider, of Annville, general chairman of the committee, announces. He reports a total of SIBO,OOO raised among the United Brethren churches of Eastern Pennsylvania and Maryland. J. E.

A. headquarters in Harrisburg, combining with the Harrisburg and other recruiting com- • mittees throughout Pennsylvania out- j side of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, ! have sent the names of 101 men to I New York as candidates for service In France. The list of those accept ed, made public to-day by State Sec retary J. B. Carruthers, who has had a leading part in the work of re cruiting, includes C. t. McLaughlin, of Elizabethville; B. C. L. Bear, of Mechanicsburg, and Benjamin Whit man, Harrisburg. Following is the list of men ac cepted for overseas and at home through the state office to New York headquarters during the last month and a half, not including Philadelphia and Pittsburgh: John W. Oakes, Hollidaysburg. Edward Ellsworth, Kingston. Boyd P. Betzel, Williamsport. Charles I* Frank, Oil City. William Davies, Peckville. Harold Parker, Clarks Summit. Harry Jaques, Greensburg. Homer C. Boblitt, Lock Haven. Oliver H. Hewitt, Jr., Easton. O. Edwin Risley, Scranton. Ed. S. Groman, Bethlehem. Theodore R. Dadoo. Pottsvllle. John R. Jones, Schuylkill Haven. Charles F.

Pierce P. Guth, Allentown. W. J. Lloyd, Unlontown. William H. Raser, Reading. Joseph Essick, Reading. D. E. Crosley, Reading. B. L C. Bear, Mechanicsburg. C. C. McLaughlin. Elizabethville. i This makes twenty-seven accepted j and eight rejected for varied rea- I sons, mostly because of physical dis ability. All told, one hundred and one have sent In this way in the last month and a half to New- York. Sixty-six are in the hands of the appointing committee in New- York, awaiting, placement. The de centralizing of the recruiting work, which was recommended by the head quarters committee In New York sev eral months ago, has proved a great success and as a consequence the dif ferent states are standing up well un der the burden. New Yerk, New Jersey and Pennsylvania have gotten more recruits for overseas than all the other states combined so far. Tomorrow Last Day For "Over the Top" To-morrow is the last opportunity which will be given Harrlsburgers and people from the surrounding towns to view the screen version of Sergeant Arthur Guy Empey's famous book, "Over the Top," which has been viewed by hundreds and hundreds of people In the two days it has been running at the Victoria Theater in this city. Nothing but praise, and of the highest sort, has been heard of this wonderful film and the message it carries of "Wake Up. America," je one of .incalculable value. As soon as Empey. became a na tionally popular figure he received many flattering offers to go into vaudeville and in motion pictures, but he resisted all of these on the ground that he did not wish to capitalize the heroism and suffering of the men In the trenches. He finally succumbed when Albert E. Smith, the Vltagraph president, convinced him that his ap pearance on the screen would have a great patriotic value, and he agreed to appear in the screen' version of "Over the Top" because, as he put It, "a motion pictdre can show the mil lions of Americans Just what we are up against over there, and it may stimulate them to greater effort." "Over the Top," in Its book form, is more or less the notebook of a flghtlngman and Is replete with thrilling episodes, the greater part of which have been preserved for the screen. One of these is the episode of the coward who made good, a dra matic incident which will be recalled :by the readers of the book as one of the most moving In the entire work. This has been retained in full In the film and the role of the panic-strlck • youth who deserted under fire is portrayed by James Morrison. Mr. Morrison and Miss Lois Meredith, who are featured In support of Empey. ar e both well known to the theater going public, the latter having suc ceeded Lauretta Taylor in the title role of "Peg O" My Heart" during its long run at the Lyric Theater. In addition to these players, a notable cast surrounds Empey, its members including Arthur Donald son, the original "Prince of Pilsen;" "Mother" Mary Maurice, who played with Booth, Harrett and other famous actors In the early part of her stage career; Eulalie Jensen, formerly a member of Sarah Bernhardt's com pany: Julia Swayn Gordon, one of the best-known players on the screen; Betty Blythe, a new-found screen beauty; • Nellie Anderson, a noted character actress: Bernard Sle gel.

Pig Clubs in Flourishing Condition in the County Dauphin county promises to con tribute Its share to the nation's pork supply in the fall, when the members of the nine P'S clubs organized throughout the county exhibit their stock and turn in a final report oti "raising a pig." The clubs have been established at nine representatle points in the vari ous townships by the Farm Bureau, co-operating with local leaders.
