    CARL BECK BACK ON TRACK TEAM; STEELTON FIVE AND FORD'S TEAM PLAY TONIGHT
"SPRING FEVER" CURED ONLY BY
GUNNING, SAYS TOM MARSHALL
Have you spring fever? This is
Occasioned by the shooting microbe
Sailing under many brands and
equipped with assorted sizes of
stingers for insertion, injecting into
■the sportsmen's system a virus, in
oculating the victim with a shoot
ing desire and outdoor spirit from
"which there is positively no recov
ery. When under the microbes in
fluence you may throw your gun into
the discard, master your inclinations
to go atleld or shoot over the traps.
Ton are experiencing temporary re-
Jief only. There remains that long
ing for the smell of gun powder and
life afield. The mention of a gun
creates an itching of the trigger
•finger, with an insane desire to re
cite to a listening friend your prow
ess at trap or in pursuit of game.
An ever-to-be remembered "long
ißhot" made or remarkable score put
up by self or father. A wonderful
gun, once an heirloom in the fam
ily, whose killing radius was only
limited by the scope of vision of
the operator, (father) who also
"'drove a flock of bees across the
.plains, in the middle of the winter,
land never lost a bee."
No species of mankind is immune
! from the sting of the sporting mi-
H'robe except the "dude" who has no
Usphere in sport life.
Qur pioneer ancestors were dc
rvotees of the shooting art. Fire
karms were then a necessity, a means
i-of family protection and sustenance.
(The Kentucky hammered barrel
! rifle, with barrel so long it was
(necessary to stand on a stump or log
Ito load; with accessories, like the
i cow horn, as a powder receptacle,
the bullet pouch of buckskin, a cup
i board in the side of the stock for
'caps and patching. Shooting suc
• cesses were scheduled on game,
•where it was a case of "gunning for
meat." The bringing home of the.
'bacon or venison, was the slogan to
eat. Modern field or shooting ethics
were not closely observed. "Pot
shooting," which means the bagging
of game, in uncertain numbers,
without first showing birds the cour
tesy of putting them to flight. This
a game-getting policy, which elimi
nated the taking of long chances
or escape of the quarry.
In the pioneer days there were
"skill-tests" at the holiday turkey
shoots. Ten cents per shot was the
usual entrance fee. A board was
painted or burned black, to soften
the wavering rays of light arising
from the rifle barrel, a small cross
was out on the board, which was
covered bv a small piece of white
paper, this the objective target. Or
• a turkev's head was allowed to ox
lend through a few inches'above a
barrel head. the first contestant
drawing blood with a well-directed
bullet, was winner of the turkey.
Pioneers stung by the same mi
crobe oxtcnunt to-day, were settling
the question of shooting accuracy,
in friendly rivalry and demonstrat
ing the muzzle loading gun and
black powder.
Mechanical genius has to-day
given us the modern guns and am
munition. Itiflos and seattcrguns in
the hands of American experts turn
ed the tide of battle in the recent
world's war. Experience in shoot
ing the 70,000,000 targets furnished
the camps and cantonments by
Uncle Sam and consequent accuracy
of the doughboys, gobs and bird
men in action, was in a great meas
ure responsible for the early shout
ing of "Kamerad" by the Teutons.
Shooting is no longer a home
providing necessity, the game of this
countrv has materially decreased,
the killing of a bag limit is un
usual, under protective laws and ab
sence of game. Millions of men,
women and boys have been edu
cated to shoot (Uncle Sam has been
instructor to over 4,000,000) they
must measure swords and annex
victories in friendly competition at
the traps. Inanimate targets (made
of composition) must be substituted
for wild game. Thrown through the
air, they very much resemble the
flight of a quail, snipe or prairie
chicken, the same leads and com
putations of distance arc necessary
for success, thrills are present when
the verdict is "dead," which spells
the same results, either on game ot
targets, when proclaimed by referee

SATURDAY EVENING,
at traps or shooting pard afield. The
shooting microbe is no rcspector of
sex. The feminine convert, says
trapshooting is the "King of Sports,"
that the handling of fire arms, elim
inates fear, imbues confidence, put
ting to flight the burglar nightmare.
When a Boy Scout is stung, he wants
a gun, the staff then looks to him
like the center pole of the big round
top, at a circus. Have you spring
fever?
Question: Have heard there was
to be a "Victory Shoot Day," what
does it mean and when will it be
held? Please give mo an idea of
what is to be pulled off and how it is
to be done.
WALTER KDINGMAN,
St. Joseph, Mo.
The "Victory Shoot Day" will be
staged on July 4, 1919. Every gun
club in America is expected to hold
a tournament of some kind to which
all soldiers and sailors will be in
vited. A program will be suggested
by Stony McDinn, the secretary of
American Trapsliooters' Association,
later, which will cover all the salient
points. This will be forwarded to
the clubs. When plans are perfected
an article will be found in this pa
per giving information of the "Vic
tory Shoot Day."
Question: What are the prevail- |
ing symptoms for trapshooting this i
year? Do you think the price of I
ammunition will prevent many from I
participating in the shoots? Is there |
any effort being made to promote i
the sport, if so what are the pro
posed plans? D. T. R.,
Anderson, Ind.
Answer: The indications are that ;
this will be the banner year for |
trapshooting, many new clubs are j
being organized and old ones are I
springing up in many places. The |
determination to send a trapshoot- ,
ing team of ten men, with all ex
penses paid, to participate in the
next Olympic games, has stimulated
an interest and created much talk
amcng the followers of the sport
The price of ammunition has not
raised disproportionately with other
commodities. When it is considered
that labor represents eighty per
cent, of the cost of shells and labor
in this line is classed as skilled, the
price is comparatively low. No, the
slieil cost will not prevent the red
blooded sportsmen from participat
ing in the tournaments. Canadians
will contest in the G. A. H. this year.

Admits Reading With
Hamilton Franchise
Newark. N. J., April 12.—The In
ternational Baseball Deague com
pleted its eight club playing cir
cuit here to-day by awarding the
Syracuse-Hamilton franchise to
Reading, Pa.
Mayor Edward H. Filbert, of
Reading, and a syndicate of busi
ness men, secured the franchise
by purchase but President Fultz
did not name the purchase price.
The Newark franchise was
awarded to Pat Donovan, former
manager of the Syracuse, Buffalo
and Providence teams. It was
stated authoritatively that Dono
van had obtained strong financial
support from both local and non
resident capitalists. No names
were mentioned, but Donovan
said he would manage the team
himself.
The season's schedule after some
necessary changes had been made
to suit the Reading Club, was
adopted and will be published on
April 21.

out just as the fray last evening
when the record-breaking Tech
tramped roughly over the All-Scho

features or interest. "Sooner we get
it over the better," seemed to be the
sentiment, and in the second half Carl,
Beck, Wllsback and Kohlman were
shot in to finish things up in jig time.

"GO TO COLLEGE," THE
ADVICE TO TECH BOYS
At the chapel exercises yesterday
morning, Dr. W. A. Granville, presi
dent of Gettysburg College, gave an
interesting address to the Tech High
school students, advising them as to
why they should tlnlsh their course
at Tech und then go to college. Dr.
Granville gave some interesting
statistics to his hearers showing that
the average earning capacity of the
college man was six hundred dollars
more per year than the man withouL
the college education. At live per
cent, this would be an investment of
$12,000 or an earning of $3,000 per
year through a four-year college
course. Reduced to a daily wage, it
means that every college student is
getting a position worth over $l4 a
| day to attend college. "What high
school graduate will refuse such a
position?" he queried. lie interpersed
his remarks with plenty of wit that
held the attention of the student
body until the end.

Carlßeck,Tech'sßest Athlete
Will Help Track Team Win
Under the direction of Professor
Harry DeWire, of the Technical High
School faculty, the Tech track team
is rapidly rounding into form for
the coming season, and indications
point to another State champion
ship. Interesting information to
Tech track enthusiasts is the fact
that Carl Beck, Tech's best athlete,
is again eligible to play on the Ma
roon athletic teams. For six weeks
Beck has been barred from partici
pation in athletics because of poor
standing. A closer application to
books has given the star a. good
standing, as indicated by his last
report handed out this week, and
the track captain will again be win
ning track meets this spring.
The Tech track captain is a veri
table team in himself. He can top
the hurdles, broad jump, do the 440
and is a crack at any of the weight
events. Single handed he scored 17
points at Philadelphia last spring at
the Penn interscholastlcs, landing
second place for Tech, although he
was the only Tech athlete entered.
Daily, fifty track candidates are
trying out over on the island, Rnd
next week will see the matter
lirought to a head as to who will
participate in the opening meet
against Mercersburg Academy at
that place. Mercersburg has one
of the strongest prep school teams
in the country, and Tech will not
have harder opposition than in the
Mercersburg lads. The dual meet
will take place at Mercersburg one
week from to-day.
Among the most prominent ath
letes who are striving for positions
are Captain Beck, Poland, R. Heagy,
Hefkin, HofTsommer, Shader, Pleam,
G. Germer, Garrett, Allen, Shue,
Hartman, Huber, Strawhecker, Eck-

Claxlon Urges Federal Fund
| to Americanize the
Foreigner
By Associated Press•
Philadelphia, April 12. Asserting
that we would to-day be a third
class nation if we had stopped immi
gration in the middle of the last cen
tury In response to popular agita
tion at that time and declaring that
our "open door" policy has been the
thing which has made the United
States the greatest and richest na
tion in the world, Philander P. Clax
ton. United States Commissioner of
education, advocated a Federal ap
propriation for the Americanization
of the foreigner within our gates at
last night's session of Schoolmen's
Week at the University of Pennsyl
vania.
Dr. Claxton said the need of Ameri
icanization was a more vital problem
than most people realized and cited
statistics to prove that many men in
the cantonments could not read Eng
lish well enough to read a newspa
per or write well enough to write a
letter.
He said that the first step was to
teach the English language. The
little children learn it easily, but it is
a different matter to Instruct those
who are over school age, he declared.
Dr. Claxton came out strongly against
the passage of any law by the State
compelling the inhabitants to learn
English, claiming that such a thing
cannot be forced upon an unwilling
people.

Mike Uraine in the windup, and it
should result in a great scrap, as!
Maguire is training as lie never
trained before; he has improved 100
per cent, since he appeared in Har
risburg last. When he boxed Jack
Andrews and knocked him off in J
the first round he did not have a |
chance to show any of his boxing |
ability, outside of a territflc punch, j
but with Uraine he will not win so |
easily, as Uraine is sparring the best j
talent in the country, including Her- |
man Miller, Henry Hauber, Battling j
Kopin, Tommy Ferguson, Joe Welsh, j
K. O. Mike Russell, Joe Hosic, and j
ho fought Jack McCarron and Billy i
Kramer to a standstill. Harrisburg!
fans know what Maguire can do, as ]
he is a big favorite here.
"In the semi, Jack Wolpert will :
meet Chick Hayes, of Philadelphia, j
Wolpert will be remembered in Har- |
risburg by his great tight with Dick
Conlin, the Altoona goose lighter.
Conlin had been winning consistent
ly in Harrisburg until he met Wol
pert and they put up a wonderful
battle, with Conlin having a shade,
until the last round when Wolpert
had Conlin at his mercy and finally j
knocked him out. Chick Hayes is I
one of the best 110-pound boys in j
Philadelphia: ho hus boxed such boys
as Bobby Seanlon, Joe Jackson, Kid
Wolf anil fought Battling Murray to!
a great draw.
"The main preliminary is between
Nate Isaaeman and Young O'Deary,
of Philadelphia. O'Deary was con
sidered the best boy in the Navy,
as he defeuted all the boys he met,
and ho held Johnny Viggi to a six-i
round draw, although -Viggi had J
about fifteen pounds on him. Isaac- |
man is going great, and one of the j
best fights of the night should rc- |
suit when they get together.
"The opening bout will be between
Black Gunboat Smith of Harrisburg,
and Billy Brown. Smith is one of the
classiest colored boxers who ever 1
