place. Trials were held yesterday
over on the island and from the
winners of these events, the best
scorers and those who are in good
scholastic standing will make the
Mercersburg trip. The squad to Mer-
cersburg will be composed of nine
teen lads and the coach.

the events. He has already done more
than 81 feet in the broad jump. is
tossing the shot 4S feet and hurls
the discus over 100 feet. With more
chance to get into condition, he

FRANKIE MCGUIRE LOSES TO RE TECH TRACK MEN PICKED TO MEET MERCRSB
Young CLANCY Tells Barrett He Will
Fight Winner of SchiH O'Keefe Fight

Young CLANCY. of Baltimore, the
most logical aspirant for the worlds
featherweight championship, now
held by Johnny Kilbane. accompanied
) by his manager, Eddie Rathman, the
well-known sporting man, called on
Joe Barrett. the Steelton boxing pro-
moter yesterday, CLANCY being on
his way home from Pittsburgh where
he Knocked out Young Singer in the
fourth round at the Duquesne Gar
dens. His object in stopping to see
the veteran promoter was to secure
bout before Barrett's club in the
near future. After quite a confab
between them, Chaney consented to
bout next Wednesday night at the
standard Theater in Steelton. This is
between Otto O'Keefe, the speedy AL
lentown boxer, and Sammy Schiff.
With the exception of Kilbane,
CLANCY has met them all with sue
cess in this country and Europe.
where he fought all the foreigners
without losing bout. CLANCY rep
resented this country in the inter-
national bouts while enlisted at the
Great Lakes Naval base, and now
carries a gold medal presented to him
by the Prince of Wales, of which he
is very proud.
CLANCY was a little dubious at
first about meeting Schiff, owing to
the six pounds in weight. Schiff's best
weight being 12S while Chaney's best
is 122, which is the legitimate feath-
erweight CLANCY told Barrett he
saw Schiff beat Tiplitz in Philadel-
phia, while he also saw Tiplitz best
Joe Fox before the same club last
week. Fox is the English champion
and was being groomed for a bout
with Tilbane, and the Baltimorean
said Schiff is no easy one to best if he
is right. and If any one has beaten
him in this section of late, Schiff
must have been under the weather.

SAWYER FOUND SEVENTEEN
HARES IN ONE LARGE DOG

Dumps Mills, N. Y.,-Tad Dumps,
of this place, went into his woods
and hauled several large logs to his
house for firewood. The next morn
ing Mr.. Dumps and his hired man
started saving the logs into stove
wood.
They were working on large log
and discovered that although it was
hollow it held a commotion. A few
seconds later a large rabbit left the
log and started to run. Mr.. Dumps
threw his ak at 1t and killed it.
According to Mr.. Dumps he and
his hired man were kept busy for
several minutes killing rabbits as
they emerged from the log. He says
the log was alive with them, that
they killed seventeen and that three
squirrels and a skunk got away.

Sam has fully recovered from his
little ailments now, and says he has
no fear of the outcome of the O'Keefe
match, as the little rest did him good
marvel, he will be a better man than
when they met before. If so ring
patrons will surely see plenty of ac-
tion.
Nate Isaacman, the local light
weight who was matched to box Ed
die Graney, of South Bethlehem. in
Barrett's other ten-round bout, noti-
fed Joe last night that he would have
another consultation with his physi-
clan regarding the injury to his nose
which he received in his last bout
with Graney. and If the doctor would
give permission he will fight.
Barrett meanwhile is looking for
two other crack boxers who would
furnish bout like the recent Her
man Miller and Joe Borrell match,
which was voted to be the best ever
seen about here. Joe says he will not
be caught mapping. Two other bouts
of six rounds will complete the bill. In
the opener Ralph Leedy, formerly of
Steelton. but now a Harrisburger, will
tackle Billy Morton, of Harrisburg.
Barrett says of all the local boys he
has seen box hereabouts, these two
youngsters look the most likely, and
the winner will be carried along by
him in future bouts. Leedy is the
youngster who knocked out Billy
Schultz last week.
At Barrett's last show a great many
Harrisburg fans claimed they could
not get seats, and knowing the i'm
portance of the Schiff and Otto
O'Keefe match. locally, Barrett has
placed one-half of the reserved seats
on sale at Shenk & Titles sporting
goods store in Market street, while
the other half will be at Bob Fair

A slant at the records shows that 10
players, enough for two tuintets
played for Tech. Individual records
are extremely low, due to the fact
that practically two teams were
used in each game. So that to get
the exact record made by the play
ers it would only be fair to multiply
their figures by two.

"Buddie' Lingle is high scorer
with almost IL points per contest.
"Hennie" Kohlman is runner-up. For
