The bill is now on the third reading calendar, and is in better shape as far as passage goes than any similai bill in years. Bills for State control of boxing have appeared regularly for a decade and never gotten any v-here. The most important of the amend ments provides that "No city, bor ough, town or township shall pas? any ordinance inconsistent with the provisions of this act and all such ordinances now in force in any such city, borough, town or township are hereby declared void." The require ment for fees for licenses is cut out and unincorporated clubs are given the same right to hold matches as others operating under charters. The commission is required to give hear ings before revoking licenses. Another change cuts down the age of persons authorized to attend matches to 14 years. The growth of boxing in the Army and because of the war has put the bill in a most favorable position, it is said at the Capitol. Gettysburg Tackles F. & M. Trained by Jim Sheckard Jim Sheckard, famous outfielder of the big leagues, is credited with developing a fine ball team for Franklin and Marshall which in vades Gettysburg to-day. The infield, particularly, is fast and Captain Trifer, the only veteran on the team, has been doing Hal Chase stunts around first base. The best flinger, thus far, is Albright who is sched uled to work to-day. Sheckard has had his candidates working a mile a minute and it will be a jolt if they do not overcome the Battlefield bunch. | COAL AT LAST"; We believe that we can SOLVE ALL YOUR COAL f TROUBLES with our NEW HARD COAL.

Another great victory came in the American college championship sprint medley relay, when the Penn team, composed of Fred Davis, Creed Hay mond, Elmer Smith and Marvin Gus tafsen. had an easy time defeating the State College sprinters, with Dartmouth third and Lehigh fourth. The time in this event, was compara tively slow, ten seconds behind the mark made by the famous Penn quar tet in 1916. The tirst two men ran 220 yards each. Smith covered the quarter mile, and Gustafson wound up with the half mile. At the gun Davis took Uie lead and handed over an eight-yards ad vantage to Raymond, who increased it to twenty yards. Smith held this lead and Gustafson defeated Hem ming. of the State, by close to forty yards. From the spectacular side the American College championship dis tance medley relay furnished the real thrills of the afternoon. Teams went to the post front six colleges, Prince ton, Pitt, Chicago. Lafayette, Syra cuse and lowa State. Pitt had held out its speedy quar tet of sprinters from the short relay in order to make a bid for the dis tance event, and the mighty Frank Shea gave them a good start at the outset. The lirst relay was over the quarter-mile distance, the second man on each team running a half mile; third came the three-quarter mile distance and the anchor men ran a full mile. To-day the big events will be held and Franklin Field will be the cynosure of all eyes in sportdom. There are forty-one contests on the program for this afternoon. Besides the large list of relay races in which turns wearing the colors of colleges, universities and schools of every classification from all parts of the country, will take part, the list of events includes the 120-yard high ! hurdles, 100-yard dash, two-mile col i lege relav championship of America for the Meadowbrook challenge cup, : pole vault, one-mile college relay I championship of America for the Mike Murphy challenge cup, high : jump, shot put, javelin throw, discus | and broad jump.

SNOODLES By Hungferord I REEL - P6ELE. | ~ RETEL-ID; J ~ \\y&\ LAW AN' ORDERS W A PLAXIN Tom Marshall Goes on Seal Shoot With Sailor "Jocko" "Where and how do they get them!" This is a query mentally and publicly launched as we pass hun dreds of thfe gentler sex, wearing seal skin coats which are a real evi dence of thrift. Your inquiry I am going to slip into the "none of my business discard." Where and how the seal are originally secured and the part they have taken in round ing out one of the most expert trap shots in America, is the object of this article. Every trigger tickler, who has been in the game any length of time, has heard of Jack Fanning of New Y'ork. "Chief Bull Seal" is his tribal name in the aggregation of expert shots. The Okoboji Indians. Fan ning was also a member of the un defeated All-American team, when they were abroad, shooting the In ternational faces in 1901. "Jocko the Sailor," is one of California's native sons and has held all shooting hon- j ors in his home state. He is now a j recognized authority on guns, am- | munition and the correct methods of shooting, a professional shot at j the present time. A born shooting instructor. For many years Jack sailed out of the port of San Fran cisco, to the scaling grounds at Pri biloff Islands, discovered in 17 86 and transferred by Russia to the United States in 1867. During the interim 1870-ISSO the Arctic seal herd was at its maximum, the Pribiloff herd was conservatively estimated at 2,- 500,000 animals. The Commander, offski Island herd at one-half that! number. Since that time both herds j have been materially depleted. Jack claims his unusual accuracy with a scatter gun is entirely due to his extended seal shooting experience. While seals are not blessed with wings, they 'are with "Hoppers," which enables them to "split the water," while the choppy seas and undulating swells require the lead ing of game and "inserting" of day light ahead of the quarry, which is found requisite in wing shooting. Fanning says every shot was placed after an instant mental calculation of velocity and distance of the quarry. The work was freighted with danger and excitement. Accu- ! racy, good eye, experience, level head and courage were necessary in kill ing the slippery animals from a mov ing boat on a rocky sea, as a seal swims with only his head above wa ter. Every shot, if possible, was made to count as a bonus of $2 to $6 was paid to the occupants of each boat for every seal killed in addi tion to regular salary. A sailing cruise, usually extended over a period of ten months, netting an an nual catch of 2,500 to 3,000 skins, with a limited number, of polar and brown bear, lions, walrus and fox skins. A seal shooter was equipped with a small four-bore cannon, load ed with 12 drams of black powder and 38 number one buck shot, this gun was utilized for "pot shooting" in the rookeries, with this charge of buckshot hurtled into a colony of seal many were killed, others stun ned and wounded, which were im mediately dispatched, by the small gauge auxiliary guns, rifles and buck i shot loaded scatter guns. This meth od of skin procuring was later known [as pelagic sealing, which was ta- I booed by the United States govern -1 ment. Canadian sealing vessels in- I dulging in a little pelagic capturing, I were seized by Uncle Sam in 1886, which complications seriously I threatened international trouble with I Johnnie Bull, to be avoided by a : treaty in 1892. which put a close j season on sear hunting during the months of May-June and July and establishing a protected area of sixty Snake Found Mothering Lot of Kittens in Woods lllghmount, April 26.—While sev eral boys were hunting for arbutus on the York county hills they came across a nest of kittens and decided to wait to see "the old cat." After loitering around for about a half hour they saw a copperhead snake make for the spot where the kittens were and found that the snake -was coiled on top of them keeping them warm. After a battle the snake was was killed and the kittens taken home. It believed the snake "beat away" the mother cat, as the kittens were nearly starved.

She is survived by four daughters, twh of whom live at Mechanlcsburg, nd two at Brooklyn, N. Y. Her body was taken to Me chanlcsburg, from which place the funeral will be held from the home of her daughter. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH miles around their breeding grounds, regulations which failed to protect, as the females would go beyond the protected radius to feed, at which time they were Killed and their young left to starve. The seal shoot er was captain of his own boat, which was 20 feet long with nine foot beam of the double end whale boat pattern. The "shooter" occu pied a bow seat facing forward, two oarsmen and one gun loader was the compliment of the boat. The male or bull seal attains maturity above the seventh year and weighs from 400 to 500 pounds, is about six foot in length with a 4Ms foot girth, his fur is blackish or dark brown with long yellow hairs, which later are plucked. The female is much small er, weighs about 80 pounds with length and girth in proportion, she bears her first young when three years of age. At the "rookeries" seal are divided into family groups or "harems," each bull collecting as many cows as he can control from one to 100, about 30 being an ave rage. Young males or "bachelors" usually "haul out to sleep and rest on beaches or ice floes near the breeding grounds, where they are hunted, the breeding female herds remaining undisturbed. The "bache lors" in droves of from 1,000 to 3,000 are usually rounded up by the ship's crew and driven inland to the kill ing grounds. We will occasionally run an arti cle on the varied experiences of "Jocko the Sailor," hunting bear, walrus, wolves and other large game. ANSWERS TO XIMKODS Question.
