It is a comlfination of speed and weight that ce'Uld chal lenge the best, of them. iThey can hit the line or run the elnd B with equal celerity. From end to end there is \scarcely a weak spot. They are a bwnch of veterans who have the grit io turn back a tank. If there is high school in eight that thinks it has a chance, there is still one open ,date, November 2, on which they cam be accommodated. Tech had to ar range a schedule out of its niigh school class this season, taking'on several trade schools and academics. The Tech cheer leaders and Maji First Big Boxing Bout Here Sees Sammy Schiff Shade Clark The Harrisburg Motive Power Athletic Association last night staged In Its arena at Seventh and Boyd streets the first of a series of box ing meets which are to .ontinue all winter, one every two weeks. The opener had plenty of high lights which vastly entertained a crowd of perhaps five hundred; marked here and there by ono Of the fair sex, and this delegation showed its inter est with frequent applause. It should bo said for the Motive Club folks that they staged as clean an eotertalnment as one could wish for, this being due largely to the execu tive ability of Referee Bobby Cal houn, announcer and assistant ref eree at the Olympic in Philadelphia and Navy veteran who fought many a battle with bare knudkles. Mr. Calhoun had that extreme caution and diplomacy which goes with long experience. For example, when ho Introduced Tom McGarry, who is ready "to fight anybody," he identi fied him with "reputed brother of Packy McFarland." Mr. McGarry In nowise resented the caution, but smiled as he hopped back over the ropes. For six-cylinder, king row, box- j lng this show would not have classed with the Leo.nard-Lewis fray recently but it was a long ways more stirring, from the moment that two Harris burg juveniles stepped i .to the ring until Sauiiny Schiff, the local hero with the left hand lead, was cheered to an echo. It is worth knowing that every lad who battled is em ployed at some regular Job, pqrt of them here In town In various In dustries. Schiff, himself, originally a New Yorker, and now heralded as possible champion in the feather weight class, puts in his eight hours per, and has mighty little time to study boxing. This may be the rea son of his short coming last even ing in the encounter with Frankie Clark. The latter, too, was not In prime shape; for he had not had a glove on in eight months. How ever, this was the real spectacle of the evening and critics who follow the game closely were greatly in terested in Schiff's strategy. In some ways he reminds one of Joe Choiyn. ski, the Hebrew celebrity, who fdfoght with open guard, and was very hard to beat. Schiff is a southpaw; con sequently leads with his left, and his smart short jabs from the port side finally began to confuse Clark so that If the battle had gone 10 or 11 rounds the chances are Schiff would have won on a knock out. In the close of the sixth round 'Schiff ap peared to be getting better control of this wicked left thrust and one of them caught Clark so fair that he dropped to his knees and took six on the count. This ending gave the verdict to Schiff, and only one round, the second, could be said to have shaded for Clark. Both these lads called forth loud cries of applause from the absorbed spectators. Their work was sincere and speaking of this reminds that Schiff Is an un- Lehigh Athletes Receive the Varsity Letter Bethlehem, Pa., Sept. 27.—Le high's Athletic Committee met yes terday and awarded the coveted "L" to thirty-six members of different athletic squads as follows: Baseball —G.

He breathes, eats unci sleeps the manly art; never in dulges in alcoholics and does not even\ smoke. He has a most deter- ambition to be a great fighter and his kill last night prom ises that he will climb, slowly—per- v haps, but surely. The bout which was advertised twixt Indian Russell and Wolbert did not materialize because the Redskin fell victim to Spanish measles or whatever the up-to-date pest is that has the Army boys on the run. In its place Qppy White of Lancaster, mingled with Bobby Clark of Phila delphia and these furnished enough entertainment to alone be worth the price of admission. Mr. Clark chal lenged bad ludk from the moment ho rosined his tonder feet. Shortly after hostilities he sprung a Charley Horse j as the ballplayers put it; sprained his ankle. It \yas not much of an ankle and the h(usky rubber nearly rubbed it all away. Resuming the bicker, Clark first went over the ropes in the northwest corner, car rying away the post. He next selected the sou'wost corner, and dittoed. By this time the Motive Power force of skilled workmen were on hand with steam drills, cold chisels and a fur nace; finahy rigging up the squared circle until the gay stuff could con-, tinue. Just as a kid In the' first row suggested "i Utlesnake" oil for Mr. Clark's ankle, the White man from Lancaster, an employe of Charley Riker, the brewer, pumped his loft into Mr. Clark's visage so frequently that he looked bad and Referee Calhoun suspended opera tions, calling It a technical knockout fo rWliite. k The hardest hitting ad fastest bout of the evening was thi\ between Arty Grant, who works at Round House No. 1 and Young Drake, of the Machine Shop. These two caved in the ropes several times and as each had plenty of partisans the rooting became acrid. Referep Cal houn called attention to the presence of sex, said to be more deadly than the male, whereupon tne sporting chatter subsided and everybody had to jump for the boxers were agpin coming through the ropes. Grant showed himself a good boxer and he was lighter than Drake. The latter! had a stiff punch, but swung it all over -the diamond and never once landed. Grant was said to have been amateur champion of Atlantic Coast. He had the best' of this fray. The less said about the Tim | Droney-Leo Vincent stall, why, the better. Neither let loose one hard blow; they put on the muffler and the spectators advertised their lack of appreciation quite violently. Most I of the time they looked like Japan ese wrestlers, telling each other a story.

READING FAIR DRAWS 75,000 Immense Throng Not Scared, by Rain See Pennsylvania Nags Set the Pace 75,000 spectators thronged to the Reading Fair yesterday, many hun dreds going from Harrlsburg. The paddock, stands and open field were Jammed, In spite of lowering clouds, the rails about the racing course were lined ten deep. Even showers In the late day did not make the multitude draw off from the at tractive sport. The 2.23 trot, with five heats de cided on Wednesday, carried over on account of the sundown rule, was the opening event. The Central Pennsylvania entry, Herbie M., by Bellini Jay, of the Pender stables, Johnstown, won the sixth and decid ing heat from the 2-year-old- stal lion Electron Dillon, owned by F. E, Masland, of Philadelphia. Andy Mc- Dowell, with th 6 son of Dillon Ax worthy, led until the head of the stretch, where Driver Vipond with Herbie M. challenged and after a groat brush down the stretch nosed out the Masland horse. Herbie M. took a new race record of 2.17 % by winning. The 2.09 pace, special feature event or the "Big Thursday" bill, brought together six exceptional fast side wheelers. The veteran Sellers D. of ward McGrath, had too much speed for his field, and after whipping finishes won in straight heats. This race furnished grand racing for the immense crowd, who cheered the son of Lauaret to the echo at the flnsh. The bay etallion Worthy Peter, of Tommy Berry's string. won his ninth straight victory by winning the 2.14 trot, purse 1500, a five-heat affair. Allenwood the Great, driven by Carr, took the first two heats, then Driver Berry got busy end came into the limelight with the son of Peter the Great, taking the next three heats and the race. . t The 2.21 pace, with 12 starters, furnished thrilling sport. The first | heat had an unavoidable accident i happen as the field reached the three- I quarter pole. Driver Nick Grady, I who was up bask of the Phqenix- Iville entry Walter Hall, was un ' seated, as was Driver Fray. who | handled the reins over Gravity, j Grady was hurt internally and suf- Jfered a fractured collarbone and was tnken to the local hospital, while 'prlver Fray resumed racing after living his lacerated arm and side bdpdaged. It was a lucky escape for bolth drivers. Hdward McGrath, driving the bay stallion Jackson Gratton, won the 2.2l"'.j>ace in straight heats, taking a inew Record of 2.16' i. The judges in [this face, thinking that S. R. Sips, | who was driving Captain Shirley, was not trying to win, put Tommy Berry up back of the son of Major Shirley in the third heat, and, al though Driver Berry did his best to win, the McGrath horse won out by a nose ai the wire, after a whipping finish that had the crowd on their feet cheering on their respective fa vorite to win. Major F., a Spring City entry, won the 2.21 trot, purse 3400, after losing the second heat tto Fountain Pen, | another great rival from down the Schuylkill Valley. Major F. took a jnew record of 2.18^4- Great Crowd Visits the Carlisle Fair Looking all day for the arrival of the government air craft, a huge crowd attended the Carlisle fair yes terday and many a neck craned sky ward for hcurs may be permanently crooked.

"Alive and Well," Writes Private Cooper to Mother; Had Been Reported Dead i M. T o-d ay, Mrs. hearing all dreadful things which had been passed around as perfectly go6d currency about her son. Private Cooper, it appears, had had been reported dead. Part of the letter Hollows: "Dear Mother—A few lines to let yon know where I am and how I am getting along. I guess you won dered what happened to me since you haven't heard from me since I , left the camp. I am well and getting along fine and hope you ail are well and getting along the Same. Give my love to all and tell them I am well and getting along fine and like the "country. I am somewhere in France and it's' a wonderful place. Now don't worry about me because I am all right and getting along fine." There are those who may write a better letter than John, but none will gainsay that there's nothing like repeating one's self that he is "well and getting along fine" for killing rumors of an obituary kind.
