Manager Fritz's bunch of youthful
tossers crept nearer to first place last
evening in the Allison Hill League
by winning from Hick-A-Thrift by a
score of 5.to 0. The Galahads won
the decision in the fourth and sixth
innings by punching hits. In the
same innings the losers had runners
on base, but the necessary hit was
not produced.
Carl Beck, the Tech athlete, did the
Casey act twice with runners on
base. Had he been able to hit on
either occasion. the "Hickies" would
have won. In the fourth, with the
bases full and two out, Fortna
whitfield Beck, retiring the side.
Again, in the sixth. runners were on
second and third, with Beck at the
bat and two out. The blonde ath-
lete took three healthy swings.
The losing team presented almost
an entirely new lineup, but were un-
able to stem the tide of defeat They
have yet to win a game. While
Fortna had few strikeouts, he held
his opponents to five scattered hits.
Harold Cobaugh played clever
fielding game in left field, making
several sensational catches. "Bill'
Reiff also made a shoestring catch
that cut off runs. He also continued
hitting at 400 clip by banging out
two more hits. Acting Manager
Garverich was the best player for
the losing aggregation. The lineup

Gettysburg Field Ready For
Treat EN- Rough Tankers

With entries still continuing to
pour into the athletic committee in
charge Of the meet. more than 500
soldier athletes have already signi-
fled their intention of participating
in the big sport carnival to be held
by the Tank Corps at Nixon Field,
Gettysburg, on Mem orial Day. This
number will likely be increased to
500 before the entries close.
Only the pick of this big assem-
blage will take part in the final
events on Memorial Day, however,
Trial events will be held the preced-
ing day. and only the two best men
from each company will compete in
the deciding contests of the track
and field events. This means there
will be twelve men left in each event
to fight for the rich Rrize.
1t is surprising fact that nearly
four out of every ten men in the
Tank service have had athletic ex-
perience. But the evidence is sup
piled by the number of men who
have already entered the sport car
nlval and those who have tried for
the various company teams. 1t is
only an example, however, of the
high class of American manhood
that has been recruited for the Tank
service-a service that is going to
have much to say in the settlement
of the fight for world democracy. if
the boys at Camp Colt, in Gettysburg,
know what they are talking about.
Nixon Field is now being prepared
for the big meet, and the fast Gin
derpath will be in shape for record
breaking performances on Memorial
Day
In addition to the events on the
track and field program there will
be several high class boxing and
wrestling contests. which are being
heavily featured by the Tankers.

Carlisle Indians Out For
Heap Big Football Season

With but one week remaining of
the athletic season at the Carlisle
Indian School, the various teams at
the Government institution are be-
ing given a final polishing for the
closing contests of the year. To-day
was AIN off day, no games being
scheduled. Next week there will be
several contests. The Reserves went
to Blain to-day to play the Academy
nine there.
The. leaders in achievement this
year were the members of Coach
ONeils lacrosse squad, who have
won a majority of their games. The
victory at Penn much encouraged the
redskins. who have lost so far to
only the Navy. On Memorial Day and
May 81 they play Stevens Institute
at Brooklyn and efforts are being
made to bring either that team or
Penn here for the commencement
game early in June.
Starting with green men. the vet
eran coach has developed fast and
effective squad, which. IL kept to-
gether next year and with the sea-
soning of experience, should be one
of the best in the country.
The school sustained a loss this
week in that Stanley Czarnecki, the
Penn state star, who came mere as
head of the mechanical arts depart
ment, succeeding Roy II. Bradley,
was called to his home in Erie for
Army duty. CZarnecki has had an
application on-file for post in the
Navy for some time and will prob
ably be appointed, but had expected
to remain at the school for longer
period and give advisory aid in the
training of the teams.
Efforts are being made to schedule
commencement contests for the base
ball team and the trackmen, who
have practically completed their sea-
son. Early closing of many colleges
and rivals of the Indians because of
the war Kept down the number of
contests on these schedules. The
plaps are being laid for a big foot
ball season next fall.

This schoolboy meet held each year
at Lafayette College has become the
Mecca for the High school and pre-
paratory school athletes all over the
region. This year, because of the
early closing of Lafayette College, the
meet will be a part of the commence
ment program and hence the visit of
the schoolboys to the picturesque
Easton Institution will come just at a
time when the commencement fes-
tivities make the college most at
tractive.
At this early date, most interest
centers in the two-mile run in which
Allen Sweed, of Mercersburg Acad-
emy, who now holds the worlds in
terscholastic record of 8 minutes,
51 2-5 seconds, will attempt to de-
crease this time. Lafayette's list of
intercholastic champions includes
Bethlehem Prep School, which won
the meet in 1915; Brooklyn Polytech
which won in 1916, and Perkiomen
Seminary, the team which holds the
championship this year. The college
will award handsome medals for the
winning teams and individuals. The
schoolboys will be entertained by the
college at the various fraternity
houses.
The entire meet is being arranged
by Director Harold A. Bruce, who
has conducted all of the Interscholas-
tic meets at Lafayette College. A
group of Philadelphia A. A. u. Of

STYLE TIPS.

The skirts for fall are long and tight fitting, often relieved by aide panels which hang free from the waistline and give a more graceful effect than would otherwise be pro- duced by the close skirt. Fringe is still in vogue, being often worn as a finish to the overskirts which fall midway between the hem and knee. Drapery is much used this season, and affords endless possibilities for the dressmaker; the draped effects are not limited to skirts as one usu- ally associates them with loose folds, but are carried to the blouses, where varied and bewitching results may be obtained.
 As woolen materials are needed in such quantities by the men, many patriotic women are planning to have single suit of a good, quiet color, cut on smart lines, which they will vary in appearance by wearing several hats with 1t. A good looking suit may be worn on many different occasions, if the smaller accessories are chosen to conform with the purpose. The strictly tailored hat, worn with this suit, gives one a business-like and trim appearance, while the substitu- ton of one softened by a feather or velvet trimming, worn with a dainty
 waist and light srats, will immedi- ately transform the suit into one ap- | propriate for afternoon wear. Thus
 a variety of hats is not extravaganza,
 but a conservation of much-needed l materials.

How You May Easily Acquire
 A Correct And Beautiful Posture By LuCreZia ROri
What is the correct posture ?
By LuCreZia BOri
(The Famous Spanish Prima Donna,Y.

What is the correct posture?
 How shall one know how to stand gracefully or well?
 The question is no longer an ab- surdity, for changing fashions have made popular so many alarming kinds of postures that it's sometimes hard to distinguish which is right from 2 hygienio standpoint and which is merely fashionable.
 Unfortunately today the carriage of many fashionable women may no longer be regarded as correct. Some of them walk about with dropping shoulders and fiat chest, swinging their feet badly and departing from the most elementary rules of what is graceful
 This, I believe, Is the best test of correct Posture:: :Is it really beauti- ful?
 The erect shoulders, high chest and proudly poised head fill us with an admiration that the stoop- -shouldered, debutants slouch cannot awaken.
 Here is a simple rule that a cefe- brated beauty once used to develop beauty of posture. Since her early youth she has practiced the following exercise three times day: Standing againsct' a door, she as- sumes a position where the back of her head. shoulders, elbows, palms and heels touched the door. The pose isn't easy to hold, but if you can remain thus for even one minute at a time three times day, you will do much toward developing a naturally l erect and lovely pose. An incorrect sitting position affects 1 ones entire body more than is gen.
