Fast Boys to Compete in An
nual High School Meet
on Saturday

That competition for the new shield
to be offered for the winner of Satur-
days meet will be keen is evidenced
by the fact that many of last years
point winners will again be entered
in the several events. In the 100-yard
dash Hooker of Steelton looms strong
as a winner. Last year he succeeded
in capturing second place for the Blue
and White. Boehringer. of Reading;
Evans, Eyster and Davies of Tech;
Iiegler of Columbia and Diffenbach of
Central will comprise a fast field in
the century dash.
In the half-mile run Strickler of
Columbia and Sellers of Steelton will
again run this year. Last year both
of these lads landed positions in this
race. Other fast men in the event will
be Shipley of York who has been do
ing less than "a minutes in his last
two trials. Beam of Elizabethville.
and Walborn of Millersburg are likely
to spring surprises according to ru-

Lockwood K. Worden of the Har-
risburg Sportsmens Association,
smashed 93 targets out of 100 yester
day at Lansdale. taking honors in the
preliminary shoot. 1t was the opening
sweepstake event of the annual shoot
of the Pennsylvania State Sportsmen's 5
Association.
This was remarkable shooting con-
sidering the fierce wind which blew
from out of the west with a winterlike
ferocity.
Worden had to shoot some to carry
off the practice day honors, for Billy
Wolstencroft, one of the veteran shots
of Philadelphia and a main mover
within the ranks of the State associa-
tion, finished with but one less break
than Worden, getting 80 out of his
century. Harry f. Buckwalter, an
other PhilaGelphian, and Paul Bunger
tied for third place with 81 apiece.
Howard j. Schlicher, of Allentown,
who won the championship in 1910 at
Philadelphia and who is here to try
and snatch the mantle from Charles
II. Newcomh. the present leader, fin
ished fourth with 80 down.
Other Harrisburgers made good
scores. Shoop broke rs and J. G. Mar
tin SS.
Neaf Apgar, the Plainfeld. n. J..
professional, led the trade contingent
with 9S, being one ahead of j. NOVEL;
Hawkins, the Baltimore sharpshooter.
Other professional shots on hand are
O. r. Dickey. w. b. Darton, O. S.
Sked, Fred Sloan, w. p. White. w. s.
Jones, r. l.. Klotz and II. Winchester
More are due to roll in tomorrow.
The next State shoot will go TO
Bradford. Pa. the same town which
staged the tournament rev years ago
The Red Lion Club, of York county,
had been a bidder for the 1917 classic
but to-day notified Secretary Bernard
r. Elsesser that it had withdrew from
the field, leaving Bradford as the only
bidder.
The card for to-day calls for ten
events at n total of 175 targets, which
will include the State doubles cham
pionship at 25 pairs of doubles and the
two men team champions at so singles
and ten pair of doubles. Besides these
titles there are the Citizens Club tro-
ply, in the open, and many other
prizes. The scores follow:

Harmon of Tech will likely lead the
procession in the mile run. He has not
been defeated this season, and is
consistent winner Last season he
took third place. The record of Ala is
likely to fall in this event ,as Harmon
made the distance at State College last
Saturday in 4.42.

the winner of the two-mile run. While

burg two weeks ago. Williamsport will

Student Finds Pearl
100000 Years Old

Stanford University, GAIA g.
600. .OOO-year-old pearl has been dis
covered by Stanley Carrollton Herold.
n graduate student in the department
of geology at Stanford University. In
shell he examined in the conchology
laboratory.
Professors of the department con-
firm Herold's estimate. The fossil
pearl is declared to be the Oldest ever
found. It originated in the Eocene
age, cons before there was any sign OF
man or earth Herold has made a
special study of the geologic and pale
ontologic conditions of the Pacific
coast in that period. The pearl meas
ures more than an eighth of an inch
in diameter and has faded to light
brown from its original cream color.
The oyster shell came with a batch of
experimental material from the vicin-
ity of Puget Sound, Washington.

The prediction that Harrisburg shoot
ers would be prominent in the state
shoot at Lansdale appears to have
had some foundation. Lockwood b.

Pennsylvania State Sportsmen's Asso-

runs OF rs straight. His shooting was
classed as remarkable. The official
program starts to-day.

honors will receive a silver cup. Gold,
