BORRELL AND MILLER DRAW IN FAST FIGHT; SHECKARD COACHING AT LANCASTER Miller and Borrell in Hard Fight to a Draw '"Pop" Barrett called in the Steel- ] ton rports to his family gathering j last night at the Standard theater , and made a noble effort to present some fast boxing and he partially ! succeeded. Unfortunately, his lead- j off bout twixt Lew Shupp and Pat O'Connor had to be called off be- ! cause the f*. rmer happened to oreak three ribs, a common occurrence in ! the fistic sport. O'Connor would not j take on the substitute, also a com mon occurrence. Not at all feazed, i Barrett who promises to overcome atl difficulties in putting Steelton ; on the boxing map. went along with : the second tray, which was also a j disaster to Voting Johnny Gill of j York. Jackie Parks, of Lancaster, j knocked him out in the first round, or at least he tell down and pre- j tended he was out, which called I forth severe censure from "Pop" j Barrett. "You shake that good name of j Gill, and don't ever wear it again," | he ordered the shame-faced pug. j "and what s more I'll give the j money vcu were to receive to the j Bed Cross." Following this came a real vaude- I t'ille stunt ir the appearance of ; Black Gci'.l oat Smith, deaf and j dumb, at u Blacker Bill Brown, who I had the use of tongue and ear and j who must have been a high and j lofty tumbler some time in his life. | The spectators laughed themselves! eick at the antics of those two who [ leaped like catamounts and stag gered about so wildly that fans .tea j the ropes never knew wh.n the combatants might plunge ov-y. i Le'tlier man had an advantage.

THE AUROCHS NOW EXTINCT [From the New York Herald] The auroch, which formerly roamed over the forests of northern, i Europe, is extinct. Walter Winans, | the big game hunter, has shot the i last known specimen, a bull with the record head. The Bolsheviki have exterminated the aurochs as ! the American buffalo was extermi nated by the skin hunters. At the time Mr. Winans shot this auroch, in 1913, there were a few | still living in the great forest of Pilavin, Russian Poland, and he : took care to shoot only one roque. which had been expelled by the herd. Such a bull kills the young bulls, so it had to be shot. Mr. Winans is leaving the stuffed head to the New York Natural History | Museum in his will. The bull , weighed 2.001 pounds and stood I nearly seven feet high at the shoul ! ders. The auroch resembled the Amer ! ican buffalo, but was much larger, had no hump and was a redder col or. It was ver ysavage. HIGH PRICE Fill BANK STOCK Annville, Pa., April 3.

Grevell and Perkins, McAvoy and Berger, Jim Sheckard Coaching the Baseball Team at Franklin and Marshall At last F. and M. has awakened to the wisdom of hiring a coach for baseball, our old friend James Sheckard, than whom there never was a better left fielder, taking the job. The college promises that this is only a part of the big progra for revival oF athletics. A local observes says: "It has been two years since Franklin and Marshall College, was represented on the diamond. It is all plainly shown that the students have a great admiration for this sport, as shown by the large number of players reporting to practice, and the "pep" shown by the student body to report on Williamson Field with the players to encouruge those who are trying to make good. One thing is sure and tt.at is when April 12 comes around, at which time F. and M. will play Mt. St. Mary's College. F. and M. will have one of the best teams in the history of the college be cause of the good material and the spirit that is being shown." Sheckard is on native soil, for Columbia is his home: he is in the automobile business there. Jim has been out of the big tent for years, but if anybody can shake up a ball team, and show 'em team work's value it is the Brook lyn-Cub celebrity. OLD AGE PENSION STUDY IS MADE Figures Compiled Will Des putc Those of Various Countv Boards The State Old Age Pension Com mission, which is completing its re port for the Legislature, has se cured the personal histories of more than 3,400 aged inmates of alms houses. 2,300 in fraternal' and benev olent homes and 500 recipients of private charity in fifteen cities, while information has been secured on the histories of 4,500 persons, over fifty years of age, in Philadelphia and other cities. The report will analyze the state ments of costs of operation of alms houses. showing that in some the cost will run as high as $9 and $l2 per week and will take issue, say officers of the Commission, with figures submitted to the State Board of Public Charities. One almshouse has been found which contains just one inmate, while others having less than a dozen. Special studies will be made of the operation of county homes in Berks and Northampton counties. A statement issued outlining the re port says "from its study of the al ready existing forms of old age re relief, the Commission finds that no more than 10,000 aged persons are now receiving superannuation pen sions, exclusive of United States pen sioners, while the aged persons re ceiving pensions at the present time constitute three per cent of the per sons 65 years of age and over. In other words, only 30 out of every 1,000 persons, 65 years and over, are now on the different pension lists." VISITS BROTHER IX HOPELAXD Harry T. Dinsmore, a brother of A ,H.

TRAPSHOOTING BACK Eighty-eight New Clubs and 54 Others That Were Inactive During the War Have Begun Business Since First of the Year BY PETER P. CARNEY Editor National Sport* Syndicate That trapshooting has liesiefited through the world war is evidence by the fomation of eighty-eight new gun clubs duing the months of Janu ay, February and March of this year, and the renewal of activities of fif ty-four gun clubs which have been on the inactive list since the United States cast its lot with the Allies to make the world free in the sense that we understand freedom. A little over a year ago there were about 4.000 trapshooting clubs in the United States and Canada. About ore half of this number checked in while the United States was battling With the Huns. There are many reasons for this decline. In Canada every able-bodied man to the front—and therefore very fi w were left to shoot at the traps. In America we were not as hard pressed as the Canucks. More than 2.000,000 men—the cream of the country joined the colors. In this great num ot soldiers were many thousands of trap shooters, the support of many clubs. Some organizations were en tirely wiped out. Many others were hit so hard they could not continue. The business man who shot at the traps for recreation didn't have so much time for recreation during the war, lie was too busy; and in quite a number of places it was difficult to get targets, and late in 191$ it was hard to get ammunition. Lead was scarce, and the shortage of lead caused shells to be scarce. Condition* Are Good Vow But these things are righting them selves now. There is no shortage of shells or targets; the boys are return ing home by th thousands; there is more activity in trapshooting circles now than there has been for a num ber of years, and clubs are being formed at an average of one every day. Men ond women are shooting now who never before shot at clay targets, and thousands of the youth who wore the colors are very much HURT A BULLDOG S PEELINGS Maybe some day we'll know all that is to be known about domestic animals. We credit them with in telligence, but every once in a while they do something which shows that we have not credited them j enough. A little bulldog on the hill was} plainly angry with his mistress. : 'Cause why? Because she insisted! that he go outdoors. He was get- 1 ting too fond of his own fireside and needed more exercise and fresh air. She forced him out, in fact gave something of violence to her demand. He was plainly much dis comfited and indignant. lie conveyed his mood to her just as plainly as his dog soul could. Then he disappeared for the rest of j the day and she became anxious. J Finally, after dark, she received a i telephone message that he had ap- j peared at her mother's, miles away. He had been there only once or! twice before, but evidently he had | made up his doggish mind that he; would go, where he would be ap preciated and stay at least until he | had "his mad" out. —From the | Springfield Republican.

America's Welfare and Safety Rests on Our Ability to Shoot Addressing a company of marksmen the late Theodore Roosevelt said: "You may put a uniform on a man and a gun in his hand, and then drill him, but if 'ou do not educate him how to shoot to hit, another man can come along with a club and put him out of busi ness." interested in continuing the educa tion they learned while in the ser vice. Tilings are just as brisk in Canada as they are in the United States. A trapshooting association for the Eastern District of Canada lias been formed—which is something Canada never had before—and prospects are goof for an association in the west ern district. One of these days :t is more than likely there will be a governing body in each province, con ducted along the same lines as the state associations in the United States. IVnys to Enconrnge Shooting There are a number of ways that the trapshooting organizations may encourage trapshooting ideas that have been overlooked. It would be a good scheme to put on every State championship pro gram an event for men who have been in the service. The New York State shoot has put on such an event. Every other state organization should fall in line. Then, too, it might be well at every important shoot to have a trap set | aside for beginners, with a capable set of Instructors, and offer a prize I for a beginners' event. And by all means Young America Buy Coal Early, Fuel A dministration A dvises Washington, March 20. —Eaily buying of next winter's supply of coal was urged upon the public by the Fuel Administration in a state ment issued to-night. The admin istration asserted that coal was now more plentiful than it probably would be for some time to come, in view of anticipated heavy coal ex portations, and that the public would have no better opportunity to place orders than at present. The importance of stimulating production, which in February was forty-eight per cent, less than full time production, also was enipha sized. Current consumption from stores of coal, it was said, is greatly in excess of production, which has fallen off, due to lack of orders. Fill your coal bins for next winter. Let us have your order.
