STEELTON HIGH OPENS BASKETBALL SEASON TONIGHT-BOWLERS SHOW REAL FORM
ZONES FOR TRAPSHOOTERS
MEET WITH FA VOR HERE;
LOCAL CONDITIONS FACTOR
Local shooters! are strongly In fa
vor of the zone plan in arranging for
big event; and for championship con
tests. It means that Harrisburg will
bo an important center for trans
shooting in Pennsylvania. One of the
first will be the annual State shoot
next June, which promises to be the
largest in the history of the State.
The meeting at which zones were
recommended was that of the Gen
eral Committee of the association, in
cluding the Executive Committee and
representative; of the amateur nim
rods. Representing the Executive
Committee were E. R. Galvin, of Wil
mington, Del., chairman: Stoney Mc-
Linn, of New York, secretary; Thomas
A. Davis, of New York, treasurer;
Frank Drew, of New Haven, ahd L. J.
Squier, of Cincinnati. Of the five
Amateur Committee representatives
four were present J. Clark. Jr.. of
Worcester. 3. S. Foster, of Mason
City. la.; E. P. Mathewson, of Ana
cerda, Mon.. and R. L. Spotts. of New
Y'crk, M. D. Hart of Richmond, was
absent as a result of illness.
Decision was reached to divide the
country into five zones. Exact geo
graphical lines were not drawn, the
decision as to that being left to a
committee. In general, the divisions
were Eart, South. Middle West, Rocky
Mountains, and Pacific coast. Trap
shooting centers do not always co
incide with geographical centers, and
that matter will be governed by local
conditions in the zones concerned.
Pnrtjr-Eiffiit Stntos
There will be 4S state associations,
as usual, each of the states being as
signed to its special zone. The sport
will be governed fir;t in the individ

to the regional or zone meetings, and
the zones will be responsible to the
American central organization. Each
zone will have its own ereretary-man

The zone orgnni'zaUons will he

SCOTT HARD BOY
IN RING BATTLE
Philadelphia Veteran Predicts
Trouble For Gill on
Monday Night
Johnny Loftus, n veteran trainer!
of Philadelphia, writes Manager Joe j
Darrett that Cyclone Scott, who
fights Johnny Gill Monday night, is
a tough boy. He is booked for a,
ten-round buttle.
Loftus adds that Mike McGutre, 1
the Boston spotting writer, said the
Buffalo parers weie equally divided;
when they gave their decision, when ,
Scolt met Knockout Brennen, of j
Buffalo, in a twelve-round.bout. Joe
Conroy, manager of Scott, claims the ;
fight being in Brettncn's home town, j
and not to a decision, is all that i
keeps Scott front tleing the title ;
of middleweight champion.
Winner Meets Ralph
The winner of the Catson-Sylves- J
ter bout Monday night will meet Billy
Ralph, of Philadelphia, In a later ,
show. Ralph wants to meet An- |
gelo.
Willie Langford, the best colored ;
welterweight, that ever showed jn
this section and now boxing partner j
to Gill, is rather lonesome, as he puts
it, with Gill in York, but Langford 1
is going through IPs stunts without
a murmur at the Olympia Club, pre
paring himself for his scrap with A 1
Mason. I-ancaster's best welter-!
weight. The three other six-round !
t<- e n the card are paired as
follow*:
i-uuie Billman, of Lancaster, will
meet Y'oung Lehmer. of Harrisburg; .
Chris Hildebrandt, of Steelton, vs.
Billy Zimmerman, of Hershey, and
Harry Hildebrandt, of Steelton, will !
fight Joe Strosser, of Lancaster. Bar- (
rett has notified Frank Erne, who Is |
handling all the Lancaster fighters,
that future work before his club can
be gotten by Erne's boys, if they i
make good.
The advance sale of tickets for the I
show looks as large as usual, and |
Bob Palrlamb, in Steelton, reports
