Medals and Trophies
For Saturdays Meet
on View at Bogar's

If you are passing the Bogar
sporting store, in Market Square to-
day, do not neglect to peek in the
window and see the splendid array
of trophies and medals which will
go to the winners on Saturday after
noon next when Harrisburg holds it's
annual Interscholastic track and
field meet on the island. The COM
mittee here spared no expense in
making the prizes worth while bat
tling for, and V. Grant Forrer, Sec
retary of the Harrisburg Track Ath-
letlc committee, predicts that the
contests will be of the keenest, in
spite of the fact that Tech stands
so far above others in her records.
There are three medals for each
individual event, a gold one for first,
silver for second and bronze for
third. There is also, aside from the
shield which goes to the school win
nlng the meet, handsome runner
up trophy and cup which will be
presented to the highest individual
point scorer.
1t is impossible at this date to say
exactly what schools will compete.
Last weeks postponement on ac-
count of the field being deluged with
water may have side-tracked some
of the entries, and to-day Mr.. Ferree
had not heard from Carlisle, Lewis
town and Lansford.
The big event is likely to be some
thing of triumph for local athletes,
and Carl Beck is all primed to put
forth his best efforts. while Hoff-
sommer, who showed speed at Phil
adelphia, will be at his best for the
middle and long distance runs.

"HALF CENTURY
BEHIND TIMES
Federal Boxing Officials Tell
Church Folk Who Oppose
Dempsey-Williard Fight

dispatch from Toledo says II
was so hot Yesterday at Jack Demp-
sey's camp on the shores OF Maunnee
Raw. that the challenger for the
heavyweight championship OF the
world confined his training to the
early morning and devoted tne alter-
noon to taking dip in the lake III an
effort to keep cool.
While he was at it, however
Dempsey worked hard, boxing tour

Tate a rest. Dempsey was on top y.
Tate from the start ana thS siais
negro received punching that ne
did not anticipate. One righthand
unpercut nearly lifted him off his
feet. After the boxing, Dempsey
shadow boxed for fifteen minutes and
then punched the bag until the rope
broke.
Jack Kearns, manager or Demp-
sew pIans to gradually switch his
protege's hours of working so that
he will become hardened to the heat
of midday. Kearns realizes that
when Dempsey and Willard get into
the ring July 4, that day may be
burning hot and that Dempsey Will
be obliged to stand up under the
heat. He said that Dempsey should
do all of his boxing under the same
conditions likely to prevail on lnde-
pendence Day, but believes there VIII
be plenty of time for him to become
familiar with the effects OF the sun.

contest for supremacy. We have

Three Hits, Puts Motive
Power in Second Place
LEAGUE STANDING

Second place fell to the fast-playing
Motive Power team in the West End
Twilight League. last evening. at
Fourth and Seneca streets, before the
usual big crowd. Much of the victory
was due to that famous old war
horse, Buck" Ramsey. who was there
with the hair, roots and all that goes
with them. not to mention speed and
control. The other boxman showed
caliber, too. allowing Motive Power
but six hits. although Washinger had
better fielding to help him. and so
does not deserve so much eclat as the
artful Buck"
With three tallies to her credit in
the fifth, while Commonwealth had
not scored, the latter SUDDENLY cut
loose and grabbed two runs, and then
two more in the sixth. Motive Power
needed two runs to win them. and she
made them. The score:

The section which has so aroused
the sportsmen of the State wishes
to make it unlawful for any one to
fish on lands within one-half mile
of any open stream. the water of

The effect bf such an absurd law

MACON POLICE RESIST
DEMAND TO RESIGN
BY the Associatel Press

Macon. Ga. Sept 16.--Both the po.
lice and city fircmen held out today in
their refusal to yield to demands of the
oivil Service Commission and disband
their unions. Their representatives said
they would accept discharge as a body.
Vt the City Council. which meets to.
night. upholds the commission in its
attitude.
Upon refusal of the men to obey the
order to resign, more than 200 t,is-
charged soldiers. who have volunteered
TO serve as policemen or firemen. be-
gan assembling at the city armories.
Warren McWilliams. an ex service
man, who was appointed chief of police
Saturday. after the former chief had
been forced by the civil service COM
mission to resign. announced that he
would stand by the commission, and
later ordered all members of the police
mems union to turn in either their
union cards or their badges. Fire Chief
Jones, however. who is member OF
the fremen s union, has refused to carry
out an order of the commission that
the same demand be made upon the
firemcn.
