pace until the five-mile mark, where
he was inside of the schedule that
Shrubb adopted and maintained in
his record performance in 1904. Right
here the Scot had a bit of tough luck,
and the experts opine that but for
this McCrae might easily have got
away with a new world's record.
When McCrae had covered five miles
and a little more a cold wind sprang
up. Facing this discouragement 011
every lap unquestionably took much
running out of the flying Scot. He
tired badly in the sixth mile and early
in the seventh fell behind Shrubb's
figures. McCrae kept going to the
finish line in capital style, however,
and eventually crossed the tape less
than a quarter of a minute behind
the mark that athletic experts the
world over have held to be unbeat
able.
McCrae Is probably the most re
markable professional runner that the
world has ever seen. He works
eight hours every day in a shale pit
and seldom takes a day off except
when he has a race on. When he
races on Saturday McCrae always
does his regular day's work on Frl-
I day. His actions in this respect aro
the most remarkable because of the
.fact that of. late he has earned many
good sized purses. Fop beating Cum
mings' record, which Was made in
1885. McCrae was rewarded tVith a
purse of about $1,300. In spite of
having taken in this goodly sum,
McCrae was back on his job in the
shale pit bright and early the next
Monday morning.

Record Crowd Expected
at Boxing Bouts in
Motive Club Ring
Only one shift has been made
in the program for the de luxe
boxing tourney tonight at the
Motive Power arena, Sixth and
Iteilly streets, namely in the op.
ponent for ilarrisburg's premier
scrapper, Sammy Schiff. Young
Russel failed to make a showing
last night at Lancaster with a kid
named Ochs, and the Motive
Power management gave him the
hooks; selecting some one with a
kick and a jolt, whose name was
not given out early to-day.
Letters received by the Tele
graph sporting editor tell of a
'' delegation of fans from Altoona
who are betting on Biclt t'onlin,
the amazing "goose" fighter, who
dropped his opponent when he
showed here the last tmte. One
correspondent says: "There will
be a different type of boxing
when our goose boy steps in the
ring. If all signs do not fall this
will bb the swell bout of the
evening as Dick has been train
ing day and night. Baldy Brant
is also in, great condition and
these two are going to put Al
toqfna on the map Thursday
night. Baldy will put his men
to sleep is the betting here."
Underwriters Urge Every
Soldier to Retain* His
Government Insurance
Following the publication in <n
local paper yesterday of the rates
and policy conditions that the Gov
ernment War Risk Bureau is offer
ing to the soldiers and sailors for
the conversion of their term policies
now in force, E. R. Eckenrode,
Flavel L. Wright, W. IT. Cordry,
S. G. Langdon and V. W. Kenney,
members of the executive commit
tee of the Central Pennsylvania Un
derwriters Association, held a meet
ing yesterday afternoon to discuss
the best method for the members of
the association to co-operate with
the War Risk Bureau in keeping in
force and converting into permanent
forms of insurance every policy now
in force on the lives of the soldiers
and sailors.
Pending the receipt of further in
formation from the Government,
the underwriters advise every sol
dier and sailor as follows:
"Do not allow your pplicy to
lapse.
"Do not allow any one to induce j
you to drop a policy issued by the |
Government War Risk Bureau to I
take a policy with a corporate life
insurance company. You will be
the loser if you do. ,
"Do not believe any statement
that term policies issued by the
War Risk Bureau are to be con
verted into other forms of insurance
by corporate life insurance com*
panies. They are not. You may
convert your term policies into reg
ular whole life, limited paymen.t, or
endowment policies with the Gov
' ernment War Risk Bureau and have
| cheaper insurants than any corpo
rate company can sell you. Cor
porate life insurance companies are
compelled to pay state taxes and
other legitimate expenses out of the
premium receipts. The expenses.of
the War Risk Bureau have been and
will be borne by the taxpayers.
"If you are insured by thp Gov-'
eminent for $lO,OOO or any other
amount, and find it impossible to
continue the entire amount of your
insurance, you may reduce your
policy to a smaller amount; but do
not take this action until /ou are
absolutely sure that you cannot
carry the entire amount. You will
! never again get as good insurance
,At as low rate. Keep it in force."

Tech Travels Over to
Lebanon on Friday
The Technical High School basket
ball. quintet will have its first real
test of the season Friday night, when
they will play tlie Lebanon High 1
School representatives at that place, j
If Tech want* to keep at the head of I
the league, the Maroon outfit will !
have to win the contest. Thijg will |
be a hard test for the local boys, but j
they ought, to be equal to the emer
gency. Should Tech lose, they will j
be forced from first to third posi- j
tion. Last season Reading and Rob- i
anon were the only two tcains that J
defeated Tech away from home. The !
Lebanon contest was lost through in- j
ability to toss fouls.
Faculty Director Gi;ubl) will take j
the entire string of nine players down I
to Lebanon, and all will be given a |
chance should the score warrant. If
Tech can stop "Poss" Miller in the
same fashion that Allentown did last'
Friday night, it will be another con
quest for the Maroon five.
While Tech and Lebanon are bat
tling, Reading will be making u
southern trip. Thursday night they
will play a league contest at York.
Reading ought to be ablo to win,
judging front the game the Yorkers
played against Tech. The Berks
county boys will have to win or drop
from their tie witlr Tech for flnet
place. York will fight hard to come
hack, after losing 011 their home floor.
At Reading a week ago York pre
sented little, offense for the Reading
ites. These two tilts will wind up
the first third of the schedule for the j
month of January. February and :
March will see the six teams battling '
for the lead until March 28. when j
Steelton closes the league season by !
opposing the local Tech team on the
Chestnut street floor.
