The log struck his foot and
crushed it against another log,
then settled into a slight de-
preston which kept it from pass
ing over his body. The other
men hastened to NOland's assist
ance and hurried him to the
camp, from where he was taken
TO the hospital at BOvill.
Upon examination at the hos
pital it was found that the bones
of the foot had been crushed to
a pulp making amputation neces-
sary and the foot was taken off at
the ankle.
The men at the camp donated
one hundred and fifty dollarn to

sent the scaler, ID. S. Dietz, to

Yesterday and today this city
experienced the heaviest snow
storm of the season. Over a foot

Little Change
AT Court House
MAJORITY OF OFFICERS
Will Be Sworn In Next Monday.
To Sc Appointed

TO the casual visitor who has
business to transact at the court
house, very little change will be
apparent after the new officials
assume their duties next Monday.
County Auditor Warren T. Shep-
perd has two more years to serve
and the personnel of his Office re-
mains the same, c.. b. Moon, dep
uty auditor and Miss Vera Full
Ter as copyist.
Assessor C. R. Reynolds was re-
elected and Amos A. Maggy will
continue as Office deputy assessor.
Very little change will be ap-
parent in the county treasurer's
Office. Miss Edna Wilson, who
has been deputy county treasur-
er durign the past term, was ell
ected treasurer and will have per-
sonal charge of the Office so no
new face will be seen there ex-
cept in taxpaying time.
Miss Ruth f. Gerhart was re-
elected county superintendent of
schools so there will be no change
in that office.
E. b. Noland will take the
place Of C.. w. Leaf as sheriff. 1t
is understood that he will make
no change in the force for the
present or until he becomes fa-
miliar with the duties of the office.
This means that William ToOhey
will remain as deputy and S. S.
Boutin as jailor for the present
although it is understood that a
Plummer man is to be the perma-
nent deputy.
County Commissioners Moran,
SHELTON and Wells and County
Surveyor PurVis were all reelect-
ed so these offices remain the
same.
The prosecuting attorney, pro-
bate judge and coroner are all
new men but as these Offices are
not in the court house the casual
visitor will not note the change.
Allen A. Holsclaw will succeed
Ed S. Elder as prosecuting at
torney, Charles G.. Cromwell will
take Ed Kolman's place as pro-
bate Judge and O. ID. Platt will
succeed c.. j. Kinsolving as cor
Oner.
Prosecuting Attorney Holsclaw

Notes of the Game
There were about 1900 fans out
to see the opening contest. Both
bleachers and grandstand were filled
and many standing along the left
and right field lines.
With a little more practice the
teams in the steel league will pre-
sent as good a game of ball as some
of the smaller class leagues.
Manager Miller made three good
finds in Ogden, Carris and Cornog,
who all hail from Swarthmore.
Cornog's hit to left in the sixth
hit the fence and bounced back
Had it been few feet higher it
would have been record swat.
Taggert and Reagan ofiiciated.
The former on bases and the latter
behind the bat. Bethlehem players
at times bitterly disputed some de-
cisions of the local umpires, but this
was expected. The umpires did good
work.
Quincy Bent, manager of the local
plant, witnessed the contest and was
very much pleased with the team,
although it was not a victory.
Sparrows Point is here next week
and Lebanon the week following.

How Tech Scored
at Reading Meet

For the third successive year Tech
nical High Schools track team re-
turned from Reading as winner as
the interscholaStic meet staged an
,nually at that place. Saturday the
Maroon athletes scored 5S points:
Reading trailed as the nearest OPP
ponent with 50 points and Radnor
was third with 16.
AS a result the local aggregation
has completed the most successful
season in its history and lays claim
to the high school championship of
the state. At State College Tech had
runaway with teams from the CEN
trail part of the state. At Pittsburgh
the western schools were met and
vanquished. on the Island 1t was
another cleanup. At the Lafayette
meet Tech came in second in the
Perkiomen school. being two points
in the rear. But following Tech
were all the Philadelphia schools. A
classification of preparatory and high
schools would have given Tech the
high school honors. Saturday came
the climax.
Permanent Trophies
In the meet Saturday Tech won
permanently the Joshua Dives tro-
ply, as 1T won it the two previous
years. The relay trophy also comes
been the competition for this cup
that it has been contested for during
the last ten years.
In winning Saturday the Tech lads
broke two Reading records. Elmer,
the Tech sophomore, made 81 feet
4 inch in the broad jump. In the
high hurdle Beck topped the tim
bers in II 3-5 seconds. Another big
point winner was Wilson. of Radnor
High School. This lad set new marks
in both the discus and shot put.
Win Six EirstS
Tech landed first place in six of
the twelve events. In only the pole
vault did Tech fail to be a factor
None of the Tech Vaulters could land
a position. An addition to the six
firsts Tech also landed four SECONDS,
two thirds and three fourths and a
tie for third and fourth positions.
To-day Tech students had an up-
portunity to view the trophies that
were brought back to remain forever
in the Tech cabinets. Much praise

in an athletic meet. If these VIC
tories keep up the local school will
be as famous as Mercersburg Acad-
emy for producing track and field
stars.
Local fans are realizing more every
day that losing a league franchise is
serious thing. Harrisburg has not
only received black eye in not be-
ing able to support New York State
Legaue team, but is barred from or
ganized baseball as long as the debts
incurred by the recent management
remain unpaid. There is not much
encouragement for prospective future
promoters in the probability that
they will have to shoulder all indebt-
edness. However, there are no pro-
moters in sight at present.
Several players on the Harrisburg
team returned to Harrisburg Satur-
day. Some of them were not very
juhilant. Plainly speaking, several of
the Islanders say they are stranded.
Blue Ridge managers are after one
or two. 1t is also said that Red"
owens will take care of a pair and
put them to work with his Motive
Power team. Those whose regis
tered are hoping call to arms will

OGDEN LOSES IN
TENTH INNING
Bethlehem Romps Home
With First League Victory;
Fast Fielding

Ogden's weakness coupled with
erratic fielding by his teammates in
the tenth inning spelled defeat for
Steelton in the initial start of the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation Lea
que on Cottage Hill field Saturday
afternoon. Bethlehem defeated the
locals by a score of to 3.
Until the tenth inning the teams
played on even terms, each hitting
the ball. ogden, who halls from
Swarthmore, was on the tee for
Steelton, and pitched superior ball,
having the best of the argument af-
ter the third inning up to the tenth.
His speed and sharp curve was too
much for the Bethlehem players.
Barton, from Bethlehem, pitched
good ball but Steelton seemed to hit
his curve harder and for more bases
after the third than his teammates
connected with Ogden.
Bethlehem Scores
Bethlehem scored first in the
third inning on a single by Tesch,
who stole second and on Twombley's
home run swat to deep center. The
ball was hit hard and was a clean
home run. Steelton earned one run
in the fifth on Nebinger's two-base
hit to left and Miller's single to the
same garden. The local steelworkers
tied the score in the next inning on
Cornogs three-base wallop to left
field and Murray's two-base hit to
right. Murray was caught trying to
stretch the hit into three bases.
Bethlehem forced ahead in the
eighth inning on Achenbach's double
to left, Twombly's sacrifice and
Roth's sacrifice fly to deep center,
Miller making a sensational catch
of the drive. Steelton again tied the
score in the next inning on Cornogs S
third hit of the game, a single to
left, Murray's sacrifice and MCGEE
hans clean double to center.
The fireworks that lost Steelton
the game came in the next stanza.
Matag, first man up, flied out to Mil
Ter. Tesch singled to left, stole Sec
ond aad advanced to third on a wild
pitch. Twombly was safe on Neb-
inger's error after Achenbach flied
out to right field. Tesch scored on
Roth's single to center. ogden pre-
sented Bethlehem with an extra run
when he walked Wright and Yap.
Diener ended the excitement by fam
ming. Miller. Zellers and Carris
went out in order in Steelton's half

BETHLEHEM MAY
GET BALL CLUB
Report That Transfer OF
Franchise Will Be Made
Today; Players Report

Harrisburg players who were made
free agents because OF their refusal
to accept aid from the league may
relent. Several players returned to
Harrisburg Saturday. They were
anxious to get home. Offers were
received from nearby leagues, but
were not very tempting.
To-day report was received here
that Earl Mack would take charge
OF the team and it would be located
in South Bethlehem. A dispatch
from Wilkes-Barre says:
First Game Saturday
South Bethlehem will likely he
the new team to join the New York
State League. 1t is expected Presi-
dent John H Farrell, who has been
in this city in conference with officials
OF the Bethlehem Steel Company the
past two days. will award Harris
burg's place in the circuit. If this
program goes through. the first game
will be played next Saturday.
"Harrisburgs failure to support
its team will likely stand against that
territory in the event of another at
tempt to play professional league
baseball. The fact that the players
quit in the time of distress means
that the territory will be blacklisted.
The debts standing against the
Cockill club, unless borne by the
new owners. will stand against any
association in the future that might
secure a berth in any professional
league.
Acted Cnwisely
THE players, according to those
who have studied the situation
closely, acted unwisely in throwing
up the sponge. They were guaran-
teed salary for another month and
this opportunity should not have been
turned to the wall.
Some of the money, II is under
stood. would have been paid to-day,
as the other club owners were will
ing to subscribe TO a fund to pay
part of their salaries. As II is, the
PLAYERS are free agents, but with a
lack of interest in minor league base
ball this season many of the players
stand no chance of gaining positions
with other clubs.
With South Bethlehem in the
league the circuit is strengthened.
With the merry chase on for the
pennant, a winning combination in
that town will attract capacity at
tendance.
If South Bethlehem joins the
league, which at this time seems
likely, the new owners will not as
sumo any debt of the old club, and
but few of the men under contract
with CockilIs team will be signed for
the new aggregation.
