Although the meet this season does not hirfe on either team winning the coveted Vance C. McCormick trophy, the race for honors will go on with the usual briskness.

The two clubs of the school, Greeks and Romans, each year compete for scholastic and athletic prizes. The Romans have clinched the trophy already by drawing thirty-five points to the Greeks twenty-one, and as the meet can count for only six points, should the Greeks win they would hold no chance of gaining the trophy. The meet was originated in 1913 with the Romans winning ten times, the Greeks five times and one year (Including yesterday's game) ab pet.

Martin, Mechanicsburg. A hit-and-run driver is the greased eel in the flow of street traffic. WASHINGTON. June 1. The basis for a compromise by which the an- nual football classic between West Point and Annapolis mav be revived.

was presented to Secretary of War Good by Representative J. Hamilton Fish of New York yesterday. If the Army will adopt a four-year eligibility rule, instead of the six-year rule now existing and which caused the break, the Navy will resume its gridiron clashes with West Point, in Mr. Fish's opinion. The Navy broke off relations with the Army because the latter would not subscribe to the three-year eligibility rule in effect not only at Annapolis, but in all leading uniyer- sities.

The Navy broke off relations with' the Army because the latter would not subscribe to the three-year eligibility rule in effect not only at Annapolis, but in all leading univer. sities. Adoption of the four-year eom-Dromise. under which football stars entering the Military Academy from ether colleges, would still have at least a year to play, would give the Army a distinct advantage, Fish pointed out. Mr.

Fish, himself a former All-American star and representing the West Point district in the House, roundly denounced the six-year eligibility rule. "My main objection to the present Tt7. i it. i i s. uui.

Declaring that the Navy was not entirely blameless in breaking its contract with the Army before its termination, Mr. Fish added: "But if football relations are to be resumed, it must be on anpracticable and equitable basis, and it seems to me, in view of the willingness of the Navy coach last year to accept a compromise along the lines I have suggested, that it still could be made the basis for a mutual understanding as reerards eligibility rules." ending a tie.

Promoter Mique Milloy plans to hold outdoor bouts this summer at his White City arena. The arena is being enlarged to accommodate 15,000 persons. Plitt, were not enough to stem to Uptown team which went on a batting spree to slam out thirteen safe blows while Red Ross, Camp Curtin's pitcher, allowed Shorty Miller's boys three safe hits and struck out thirteen batters as his teammates, helped greatly by Edison errors marched to victory.

The first two games for the championship went into extra innings with Camp Curtin winning the first game in ten innings by the score of 11 to 7 and the Edison team coming back to win the second contest in eleven cantos by the score of 4 to 3. Both teams played great ball, but passed balls by Edison catchers brought in at least three runs and paved the way for many more. The trick play of the game came in the sixth inning when Sheesley and Eberline racing for home were called out when Sheesley, failing to touch third base, ran back and Eberline passed him. Camp Curtin already had the game on ice. After going hitless the first two innings Camp Curtin took the lead in the third, never to relinquish it during the remainder of the game.

Ross and Speraw, who had four hits during the game, opened with singles. Bolan sacrificed both a base and then Snyder, the Edison second-baseman who was covering first on the play threw the ball away, allowing Ross to score, with speraw taking third-base. Spera scored while Michlovitz was grounding out. Three runs were across the plate in the fifth inning when Napper tripled, gave way to Dixon who ran for him. Ross singled scoring Dixon.

Ross stole second base. Speraw singled to score Ross. Bolan struck out. Speraw took third on Fagen's error and scored when the Edison catcher was credited with passed ball. Four more runs were pushed across the plate in the sixth inning when Eberline singled and went to second on Mitten's error.

Robinson walked. Eberline took third on a passed ball and then scored when he and Robinson worked a double steal. Revearo singled to score Robinson. Napper flied out. Ross saorificed Revearo to second.

Speraw Singled, Revearo taking third. Bolan singled scoring Revearo and Speraw scored when Beamer threw th ball away. One more run was pushed across the plate in the seventh inning when Sheesley was hit by a pitched ball, went to second on a passed ball and scored when Robinson singled. The Csmp Curtin continued their batting orgy in the eighth when they scored the last three runs of the game. Napper walked, stole second base, went to third when Ross singled and both runners scored on a passed ball.

Speraw singled and was out trying to steal second. Bolan singled and was out trying to steal second. Ross Michlovitz walked, went to second on a passed ball and scored when Sheesley doubled.

Ald-idge never did et in condition i A 1 inn waa relpnaen i 3 while Burleigh Crime proceeded to win twenty-five games while losing only fourteen for the Pirates. Not content with that showing in 1928, Grimes has started out this season as if he intends to better that mark. He won his first six games before May 20.

And with the Pirates improving, it looks as if he will win many more for them this season, perhaps more than he did last year. HANOVER WINS 4TH STRAIGHT The Hanover Raiders won their fourth straight Blue Ridge League contest yesterday afternoon from Waynesboro by the score of 8 to 2.

June' 1. The Harrisburg Senators opened two day stand here yesterday but Dutch Schessler met his master in Bill Knowlton and the Tillman forces failed to make headway in their fight for second place, dropping a bitterly contested 2 to 1 game to the Grays. Schessler was given brilliant infield support, and although he yielded nine hits, he gave Knowlton a close chase from start to 'finish. Knowlton confined the Senators to five hits, and Phil Voyles, his former teammate, clubbed out three of those. Red McBride got the other two.

The Senator inner defense negotiated three fast double plays, snapping as many threatening rallies. Harrisburg was charged with three errors in all but none paved the way for runs, tho Grays earning both of their tallies. Harrisburg got away to a lead in the second when Volyes hoisted a triple against the right field wall and scampered home Doc Neider-korn's sacrifice fly to Morgan after Ray Flood had grounded out. The Grays squared the count In the third when Capes drew a base on balls, advanced to third on Shepherd's single to right and tallied on Killinger's single to center. The last and winning run came in the next inning.

Anderson got a hit into center and came all the way home when Ernest bounced a double off Dick Attreau's shins. Thereafter both pitchers settled down to a give and take battle, but the Senators could not muster the punch to tie the score. They threatened in the seventh but Knowlton fanned Neiderkorn and Schessler to end the rally after Thomas had drawn a base on balls and Voyles had connected with his third hit of the game, a single to center. McBride led off in the ninth with an infield hit but Thomas ruined the chance by grounding into a double play, Capes to Killinger to Anderson. The teams wind up their scries with a double-header here today.

Russell Bergherm, a star center on the Northwestern University basketball team and full back on the football eleven, is now making a name for himself on the Purple's tennis team, marking himself as one of the most versatile performers in college athletics. His home is in Billings, Mont. Several ball players known to Harrisburg fans are mentioned in the Official Bulletin of the National Association of Professional Baseball players, recently released. Wichita, of the Western League, has signed William Burke. Gus Dindon, Duke Steffen and Elwood Krepps have signed with Win Clark's Manchester Club of the New England League.

Lester Shatzer, local sandlot player, is a member of that club having been sent there by the Senators. Two Senator players of several years back met on the Jeannette Club when they signed contracts with the Mid-Atlantic League team. They are Lee Strait and Bill Hickey. Montreal has sent Bill Bailey, who was popular with local fans several years ago, to the Manchester Club. Looks as if Win is trying to get all the old Senators together again.

He now has Shatzer, Steffen and Bailey. Now Win all you need is Munson, Pee Wee Lewis. Lee Demp. sey, Pat Doherty, Lord, Meanor, John Levi, Lerton Pinto, Jim Mahady and Schreiber. Anyone remember this lineup; Comstock, centerfield; Lewis, shortstop; Munson, rightfield; Levi, left-field; Fitch, third base; Goostree, second base; Dempsey, first base; Tickey, catcher.

It wasn't so long ago that they playd for the Senators on the old West End diamond. Come to think of it, what has become of some of these old players, especially Levi, Goostree, Tickey, Feori and Sinstack? And who remembers of the time when the Harrisburg Giants were in the bud and they had a brother team of the two Jordans.

A. and the Capitol Hill baseball team were to renew athletic hostilities this afternoon on the Island field. Manager Bill Euker of the State team was to select his pitchers from Freedman, Lyncy and H. Swartz. Either Arter or Campbell was to do the catching.

MORE PRAISE FOR ALEXANDER George Moriarty, American League who managed Detroit last season, says Dale Alexander, rookie Detroit first baseman, is one of the best natural hitters he ever has seen. they would shift positions? One of the brothers, wanting to pitch longer, would shift from pitching left handed to pitching right handed? How about the tim; little Fat Jenkins, Colonel Sti other's left fielder, circled the bases on a bunt when the Giants were playing the Senators. It was all a matter of two errors. Nick Borelli, the Muhlenberg College flash, has been recalled by the Athletics from the Portland, Club. Pat Doherty, who while playing right field for the Senators, almost set a new record of hitting in consecutive games, has been released by the Lewistown-Auburn Club.

He hit safely in thirty-four straight games and broke the run on the Island field when the Senators were playing Shamokin, if our memory is correct. Now any one entering the Camp Curtin Junior High School on Monday will have to wear ear muffs, for the students are going to celebrate the winning of the city championship, on the Island field yesterday afternoon. It was only a matter of thirteen runs while Edison was being limited to three scratch bingles and no runs by Robert Ross. John Coen, Dickinson student, Is a pitcher and somewhat of a good basketball player. That may mean, nothing but when we tell you that he has only one arm, it may mean something at least.

He twirls the apple just as good as any sandlot pitcher around these parts and on the basketball court he was the high scorer for his society team at the college last year. At John Harris High School athletic field this afternoon, the hill school was to hold its last meet before the annual one with William Penn next Saturday, 1 iork at Harrisburg, Colonial at Lancaster; August 3, Lancaster at York, Harrisburg at Colonial. STANFORD NEAR CHAMPIONSHIP PHILADELPHIA, June 1. Numerically speaking, Pennsylvania is giving Stanford a close battle in the Intercollegiate A A. A.

A. track and field championships. When the last cinder was crushed and the last divot upturned by the hammer-throwers yesterday afternoon in the qualifying round, Stanford University's team of fourteen men had qualified for fourteen chances in the finals and semifinals today, but the Red and Blue of Pennsylvania had no less than eleven survivors. Forgetting numbers and calculating from the viewpoint of quality, Stanford evidently is near its third etraight championship. Headed by a giant named Harlow Rothert, who broke the sixteen pound shot put record, not once, but twice, the Cardinals were duly impressive in action and gave promise of collecting points on a large scale today.

Catapulting the iron ball a distance of fifty feet three inches on his fourth attempt, Rothert crashed the circle of probable winners, cracked the record of fifty feet one inch made last year, and yirutally dethroned Eric Krenz as champion. Krentz, a team mae of Rothert and the only double winner of the a year ago, once more qualified in the two events, but his quest is precarious. He was only fourth in the shot field yesterday afternoon and found himself hard pressed to show the way in the discus. Gn his very first throw, Rothert broke Kretz's record, hurling the ball fifty feet 1 seven-eighth inches, but when Barney Berlinger, of gave evidence of competition by 'blasting a hole in the sod at forty-nine feet three five-eighth inches, the Stanford athlete came back and improved his perforance. In this day when failures were more observed than success, Charlie Borah of Southern California, the two-time sprint champion of 1927, won a torrent of sympathetic attention.

His ailing legs didn't flutter with the Bpeed that maintained him unbeatable two years ago, and he was eliminated in the 220 yard dash preliminary, fourth in a race won by Richard G. Kent, of Colgate, a fellow who couldn't have been close enough to feel Charlie's breeze in the days when he was right.
