CRACK SHOOTERS
LOSE LAST ROUND
HUMMER WINNER
rormer Champs Fall Down
Eary in Livebird Match;
Many Lo>v Scores
Not until the flnal rounds to the
:raps was the winner decided in "the
?tato livebird shoot held yesterday on
:lie grounds of the Harrisburg Sports
nen'a Association, Second and Division
itreets. C. E. Hummer, Marietta, was
ligli man with nineteen birds. /
The high men went to the traps late
n the afternoon and in many instances
ost out, owing to the fastness of the
Mrds. Moore, Clair, Biddle, Rishel and
Summer were the last to go to the
traps and eac!\ had a chance for high
aonors.
Biddle lost the first bird, a straight
iway flier, in the flnal round. Rishel
had easy birds on the flrst two shots,
tilling with one shot, but missed his
,ast bird. Clair was looked upon by
many as the man to carry off the hon
jrs, being the only one having a chance
to make a perfect score. On his last
trip to the trapc he missed the first twb
birds after having a perfect score of
eventeen straight previous to that.
Moore also lost out on the last round,
missing his flrst bird. '
Hummer Lands Price
Hummer was the only possible j
honor man who made a perfect
score in his last trip, missing the I
fifteenth bird. He carried off a I
purse of J304 and the historical cup
emblamatic of championship.
"Izzy" Hoffman, Philadelphia, missed
two birds early in the day and dropped •
out of the shoot and challenged the j
winner. He will shoot Hummer in '
Marietta some time next month.
Past birds and weather conditions 1
handicapped the sportsmen greatly, es- i
pccially in the morning, when a heavy i
snow covered the ground, making it j
difficult to sec the birds. The poorest i
fhooting was recorded in the morn- !

1 It is claimed that Tom Halpin, of
the B. A. A., ran a legitimate "1,000"
in the winter of 1913-1914 in 2 min
utes 15 seconds in New York, but that
1 mark was never recognized as a rec
ord. It was Abel Kiviat who was
' credited with the A. A. IT.l T . record for
the distance. He ran it in 2 mirrtStes
15 2-5 seconds in 1914.
Did You See the Busy Man
With His Little Red Cap?
I
ifr
Shooters and spectators at yester
day's shoot found much interest in
the activities of Harry B. Shoop. He
is one of the local crack shots who has
been a big factor in putting Harris
burg on the shooting map. "Shoopy,"
as he is known, was not entered in
the contest. He is a target star. How
ever, he never misses a shoot and
lends a hand in any way possible.
Yesterday he was the official scorer
and those who know what a live bird
shoot is realize that he had a strenu
ous day. Tramping in mud almost to
shoe top this scorer tramped up and
down the field getting the scores from
the several trap referees. His little
red cap attracted much attention.
When the shoot was over at sundown
every score was correct. There was
no kicking. That he is a valuable
man is the general opinion.
i.rm:ius FORWARDS CONTRACT
Philadelphia, Feb. 23.—The Phil
lies' squad of loyal players was in
ci eased by one yesterday when the
signed contract of Fred Luderus was
received at the club office. "Luddy"
came across with his contract in great
style. He had written a day or two
ago saying everything was all right
and asked 'hat when making hotel ar
rangements at St. Petersburg, where,
the team will train, to book him to
room with Pat Moran.
Luderus is at Milwaukee, but will
arrive here in time to join the squad
before going South March 6.
Nothing has been heard from Bill
Killefer for several days, but he ij
expected here in a short time to sign
his contract, as it is understood the
terms sent him are satisfactory.
LOSES FIGHT, KISSES WINNER
Pottsville, Feb. 23. —Eddie McAn
drew, of Manayunk, defeated Johnny
Crane, of Englapd, in a desperate ten
round bout before the North End A.
C. last night. The Englishman wa 5
very game, and although knocked off
his feet three times, each time was up
before the referee could begin to
count, and at the end of the contest
he insisted on hugging and kissing his
opponent, as is the custom In "merrie
old Kngland." Young Sweeney, of
t'oaldale. and Ketchel, of Shenandoah,
fought a six-round draw.
SYRACUSE WINS IMMOK JIEKT

"In Miss Stinson's flying school at

what should be done. This is most
dangerous work, but Miss Stinson
thrives on it.
"She lias duplicated every stunt in

SIO,OOO REWARD!
Camel Cigarettes are Pure and the Most
Delightful and Most Popular Ciga
rettes Ever Sold at Any Price
Because CAMEL cigarettes are pure and the most
delightful smoke ever produced AT ANY PRICE,
we sold over four billions more of them in the year
1916 than we did in the year 1915. We have sold
over half a billion more CAMELS in January, 1917,
than we sold in January, 1916. Our increase alone
in the sale of CAMEL cigarettes is more than the
total sales of any other brand of cigarettes for the
period stated. We have information from reliable
sources that the WONDERFUL SALE AND
GROWTH of CAMEL cigarettes has caused some
of our competitors to circulate damaging and
false rumors about them. Such rumors are mali
cious slanders.
A REWARD
We will give $500.00 each to the first twenty persons who will
furnish satisfactory proof of the identity of the persons who
are circulating and who are being paid to circulate such rumors
together with the names of the persons, firms or corporations
paying them to circulate a lie to injure the sale of CAMEL
cigarettes.

WELLY'S
It was some shoot yesterday. G.
Wellington Hepler. the local crack
shot, who looks utter the birds, had
the best lot of flyers ever offered in
this city. The only disappointment
was in yhe attendance. This was due
to the fact that there were shoots in
other parts of the State. This ought
not to happen on February 2 2 with
regularly organized clubs and mem
bers of the Interstate Association.
Harrisburg has held State Live Bird
Championship shoots for 30 years and
ought to have the preference.
Shooters and spectators who at
tended yesterday's shoot at Second
and Division streets, had to travel
through a lake of mud. Weather con
ditions made it nasty for walking.
However, a general opinion prevailed
that it would have been a small task
to provide a cinder path from Sec
ond street to the clubhouse.
Charley Hummer, who won yester
day's championship at live birds, is
one of the best known shooters in the
Slate. He is not always a big winner,
but he is in the shooting business for
the sport and no matter what happens,
goes home with a smile. He went
homo yesterday with the old Harris
burg trophy, and a big smile.
The trophy is a priceless relic and
Williard to Join Circus;
Fight Offers Too Low
fjaL^
JESS WILLARD
Fight promoters have given up all
hopes for a match between Champion
Jess Willard and Fred Fulton, the
Giant. Willard yesterday signed a
contract for the coming circus season.
He will be a big drawing card with a
wild west show. The champion wants
to get his coin while ttlie getting is
good and he claims it will not pay to
wait. Furthermore, the match money
does not look good to Willard's man
ager. It is also said there is a prob
ability that Fulton will get into the
circus game as a giant. According to
reports his family, who are all big
people, would be a big hit.
lie will have to part with it soon for
a new cup. The old trophy that ha
been going the rounds for 27 years
will go to some shooter permanently
in March. On the cup will bo en
graved the scores of every State shoot
held sjnee tho cup was flrst offered
by the Harrisburg Sportsmen's as
sociation.
Miller, who bowls with the Indepen
dents of the Boyd Memorial League is
coming to the front with some big
scores. He was high man yesterday,
bowling 176 in two games and having
a total of 610.
Lieutenant Jonas H. Ingram has
been retained as head coach at the
Naval Academy. He will have full
charge of the football team and hopes
to give the Middles another winning.
Charles Shorten, the centerflelder
who was with Newark and later was
sent to Boston, will get a substantial
Increase of salary this season. He
was not a holdout. He asked for what

TO KEEP WEMj EAT PIJENTY OF
"ROUGHAGE"
In the American Magazine Dr.
Arthur R. Reynolds says:
"Roughage should form a part of
every meal and the quantity should be
sufficient to accomplish its purpose;
naturally some people require more
than others. Its use should begin In
child life and continue to the end of
old age.
"These elemental facts should he
grilled into the mind of every child un
til they are understood. It is a more
important item of education than the
multiplication table, and one that is
wholly neglected. Substantially, no
one grows to maturity with any actual
knowledge of the functions of the In
testines or how they should be treated.
The rule herein laid dowVi, to cat
roughage and plenty of it, will do the
work, and just as surely as the sun
will rise in the morning it will imp
prove the complexion, Improve the
health, overcome a universal physical
fault that Is the basic cause of bad
complexion, as well as of other and
Innumerable ills.
"We must get back to first princi
ples and eat food as nature presents
it, and as nature intended we should
eat it. Then we can throw physic to
the dogs and the desert of the human
complexion will blossom as the rose."

BKRIiIN ONLY BY CARD SYSTEM
Berlin, Feb. 2;.—On the heels of the
ruling whereby clothes of practically
all kinds are obtainable only by those
who possess a "Bezugschein" or
card entitling them to purchase new
things, and the provision that persons
turning in wearable old suits or over
coats are entitled to cards without
question, there has -been formed an
imperial "Depot For Old Clothes."
In this depot all the articles turned i
in by persons wishing new clothes ■will
be gathered, sorted out, repaired, put
In shape generally, and then parcelled
out at low prices to those who cannot
afford to buy new things.
The department will experiment
with the practicability of adding paper
linings to threadbare suits on account
of the warmth that paper gives.
