in his class.

of the Keystone Sporting Club, has
planned to let Mcclure rest to-day,
but the Williamsport boy wanted an
other day. He started in early with
his road work. This afternoon q num-
ber of admirers from WilliamSport.

Harrisburg late this afternoon. Man
ager Mehring arranged for quarters at
Hummelstown. Middletown and Dau-
phin for the Englishman and was not
sure to which place he would go for
a brief workout. Manager Harry
Pollock was anxious to locate Mt "a
place where road work was possible.
Welsh will probably enter the ring
at 1873 pounds. Mcguire will weigh
13S. This is not according to cham

WELLYS IS CORNER

This week finds the big universities
wrestling with football. Candidates
have been called and a number of
squads are at Spring practice. Bob"
Folwell started his men at University
of Pennsylvania to-day. The men who
came out were mostly freshmen and
the holdovers from last years varsity
squad. Rules and principles of the
modern game will be the important
part of early instructions.
At Yale 20 men reported for football
practice yesterday. During the first
few days Coach T. A. d. Jones will
drill the squad in fundamentals.
Scrimmage practice will be taken up
next week. Assisting the head coach
are DR.. w. T. Bull, Vance c. McCor-
mick, John Fitzpatrick and Brink
Thorn. Printed rules will be distri-
buted to the players and periodical ex-
aminations held to ascertain how ra-
pidly the candidates are acquiring
football knowledge.
Officially, Jackie Clark was given a
draw in his bout with Joe Borrell at
Reading last night, Several sport
writer's give Clark the credit for win
ming a decisive battle over the Phila-
delphia fighter. The Allentown mid
with Eddie Revoire at Chestnut Street
Auditorium May s, has a stiff left jab
which he used to an advantage on
Borell. Harrisburgers who attended
the fight report that Clark was far the
better man, and that Borrell was
strong only in the fourth round.
Announcement that Freddie Welsh
who fights Frankie Mcguire in Har-
risburg tomorrow night can enter the
ring at any weight, according to re-
ports, was not pleasant news to local
fans. Manager William j. Mehring
Jr, of the Keystone Sporting Club
and manager also for Mcclure, said
lit was too late to change the con-
tract to bring about a title battle, and
that he would leave it to the patrons
as to McGuire's ability, and the right
of the local boy to get into the light
weight contender class.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-05-02

According to letter received yes
terday Manager Harry Pollock will
bring Welsh to Harrisburg to-day.
The fight takes place tomorrow night.
A general opinion prevails that Man
ager Mehring should serve notice on
-anager Pollock that If Welsh is
above a certain weight there will be
no fight. Welsh is an expensive at
traction and patrons expect the Eng
lishman to deliver his best efforts and
abide by the result.
The large trophy room at Tech was
thrown open last night for the bene-
fit of those in attendance at the lee
ture in the auditorium. The four low
ing cups and banner won by Tech re-
lay runners at Philadelphia Saturday
were on exhibition. The cups are the
property of the individual who par
participated in the relay race. The
banner remains at the school.
In addition to an entry in the relay
at University of Pennsylvania next
year, Tech will also make a try for
the high school championship. The
four runners who brought honors to
Tech are all juniors and will have

winner of this years championship
made the mile in 3.34. 1t is the belief
that Tech runners would be able
to clip at least two seconds from the
Saturday mark, which would give
Tech the right to take a chance.
With favorable weather this week,
and all games played, Saturday may
find another switch in the standing Of
the major league teams Last weeks
results brought some important
changes. Detroit Brooklyn and Chi
cago made advances. The Phillies are
giving Brooklyn a hard chase for first
place. Pitchers are showing improved
form and hitters are falling down on
big averages. The Athletics are going
nicely and expect to make a better
showing each week.

RIFLE DISCHARGE
KILLS LITTLE BOY
THIRD SON OF COL. BROOkHART
OF WASHINGTON, VICTIM
OF FATE.

Washington, Feb. a. Samuel Collar
BroOkhart, the third son of Colonel and
Mrs. S. w. Brookhart, was accidentally
killed last evening at about $3.50
o'clock, at the family home on East
Washington street. John Brookhart,
the next oldest brother was carrying a
22.caliber rife upstairs when it was
discharged and the ball by a strange
fatality travelled a distance Of some
twenty-five feet and hit Sammy under
the eye on the right cheek, glanced
downward, penetrating the lower part
of the brain, and little Sam was dead
in a few moments.
Just exactly how the accident hap
pened is a mystery and will no doubt
always remain such. The boys had
had the rifle out Saturday, shooting
sparrows and John had brought it to
the house and left it down stairs, re-
marking to his mother that 1t was not
loaded. Last evening as he started up
to bed he took the rifle with him to
put 1t in the closet In which 1t was
kept up stairs.
Sammy and his brother Smith had
preceded John up stairs and were get
ting ready for bed. Sammy was in
the bath room when the bullet which
terminated his bright young life so
tragically, struck him. He wilted back
into q little chair standing in the bath
room. Colonel Brookhart was sitting
by the fireplace down stairs reading
when he heard the gun report. He
rushed up stairs. lifted little Sam in
his arms and carried him out into the
hall way. The lad was unconscious
and Mr.. Brookhart could tell by the
heart action of his little son that the
life was ebbing quickly. The lad never
%regained consciousness, but passed out
into the great beyond with absolutely
no knowledge of the tragedy Of the
hour. The day had been an unusually
happy day in the Brookhart home, for
1t was Johns fifteenth birthday, and
they had celebrated 1t by having a
number Of boy friends in. All the boys
had romped merrily and John had re-
marked to his mother hat this had
been the happiest birthday he had ever
spent. With that sentiment in his
heart he started up stairs, carrying the
little instrument which was to add a
terrible tragic memory to this fifteenth
birthday.
