Snow in Parker.

For the first time in forty years
according to the most authentic in
formation received from the local In
dians, snow fell in Parker last Mon

and ON the roofs of the buildings it
did not disappear until afternoon. The

not imagine what is liable to happen

to See Johnnie Kilbane
in Action at York

Many local boxing fans will go to
York tonight to see Johnnie Kilbane,
worlds featherweight champion and
Tim Droney of Lancaster, in action.
The bout will be staged in the
Orpheum Theater and is the biggest
bout to be staged in this section of the
State in years. Kilbane is conceded
by sporting writers in ali sections of
the country as the greatest boxer of
all time. Droney's friends say that
the champion will have to use all he
knows to save himself tonight. The
Lancaster lad claims the lightweight
championship of Pennsylvania and is
terrific puncher.
The semi-final bout will be between
Morris Wolf, formerly of Philadelphia,
but at present in Frank Erne's stable

Wolgast, but the latter injured his

PHIL DIVISION SHOOTERS HOME VCTORS
Overton, Yale Sprinter
Breaks Worlds Mile,
Indoor Track Record

Philadelphia, March 12.-W. Over
ton, Yale's greatest distance runner
of the present generation, turned the
fastest mile ever run on an indoor
track at the annual games of the
Meadowbrook Club, on the CONNER
cial Museum track Saturday night,
when he defeated Ivan Meyers, of the
illinois A. c., the national mile cham
plon, by matter of inches in the
worlds record-breaking time of four
minutes sixteen seconds.
Abel Kiviat's old figures of four
minutes eighteen seconds have with
stood the test of active competition
since 1913, but when Overton and
Meyers left the quarters of a
mile post astern at 3:12 4-5 it was q
foregone conclusion that Kiviat's mag
lc mark, barring accidents, was DOOM
ed to pass into oblivion.
Overton led the way over nearly the
entire trail, with Meyers and Mike
Devanney, of the Milrose A. A., the
only other starters, close on his heels.
Meyers jumped to the front after pass
ing the halfway mark. but again re-
linquished the pathfinding job to Over
ton after a series of intermittent
sprints that carried through the two
following laps.
The 12-pound shot uncovered an in
tercollegiate point winning prospect
in the person of ID. c. Sinclair, of
Princeton, who heaved the lead ball
an actual distance of 81 feet Sh
inches, for a new Middle Atlantic Dis
trict and Meadowbrook games record.
The old mark of so feet inches was
formerly listed among the personal eff
fects of Wallace Maxtield. late of La
fayette. Sinclair was presented with
handicap of one foot six inches, and
consequently won the event hands
down.
Apparently inspired by these per-
formances, the timber toppers also got
the record-breaking habit. In the
first heat of the 50-yard low hurdles.
John j. Eller of the Irish Americans,
snapped the string in 1-5 seconds,
equaled the worlds indoor record,
held by himself. to be followed a few
minutes later by a similar perform
ance on the part of ]. G. Loomis. of
the Chicago A. A, in winning the final
heat from scratch. Eller was shut
out in his semi-final heat. Earl Thorn
son, the Dartmouth speed demon,
thrusting his anatomy across the line
for second place in the final with Far
well. of Yale, and Watts, of Cornell,
third and fourth, respectively.
Again in the 50-yard high hurdle
invitation scratch race, Thompson and
John NJ. Watts, of Cornell. showed the
way, the two heats of the event in
seven seconds fiat equaling the world s
indoor record.

Sunday is not likely to get any further

Lebanon thus far has set pace hard
