Over There
As through the mists we looked —and dreamed —
How far—how far away it seemed
Over There;
The red flash of their cannon fire—
The flame that lit some reeling spire—
The mighty thunder of their guns
Which sang the Master Song of death,
The ghosts which met dawn's rising suns
And drifted out on April's breath —
lieyond dull sweeps of sky and sea—
How far away it seemed to be!
How far away It seemed—rand then —
We woke—and turned —and looked again
And now—where flames of crimson rise
How close to us—how near it lies
Over There—
The red flash of their cann.on shines
Upon the steel that arms our lines —
The mighty,thunder seems to be
Less than a half-league from our clan,
Where Fate has turned an ancient sea
To something less than half a span.;
Far sweeps of sky and sea are gone
Where forming, storming lines r'ish on,
Waiting the day ahead, until
Old Glory crowns some battered hill.
Sport's Future Program
The settlement of sport's future program—both in collegiate and profes
sional lines —seems to be the simplest matter in the world.
A football squad is directed by a football coach; a baseball team is directed
by a baseball manager; so the technical part of a war ought to be run by the
War Department.
'This being so, the entire program should be put up to the War Depart
ment for an answer—as to whether sport should be discontinued—or wheUier
it should be maintained for the common good. ,
Army and Navy headquarters in sport at West Point and Annapolis have al
ready given the bulk of the reply.
The War Department should know what it wants. Following the Depart
ment's request would then, be the simplest thing in the realm.
Tournament Fees
If the Universal Service bill is passed, the War Department is going to take
the men it wants for service.
Those who are not taken and who do not go can still help in any number
of ways. Here is one suggestion; All golf un.d tennis tournaments —even to
invitation affairs—should have an entrance fee.
This fee, in place of being applied to prizes, should be turned over to Army
and Navy or Red Cross funds. In this way, not only would physical training
be maintained, but thousands of dollars could be easily raised in the next six
months. Sport in this way could be made to contribute tinancially to the war
—and to the physical health of the nation at home—leaving the reserve forces
in better shape for a second call to service.
A Fanatic Arises to Inquire
Dear Sir: Kindly explain this. The Giants are being picked far and wide
as leading National League favorites. In many places they are being entered
as sure winners. Now, in baseball it is well known that a pitching staff is the
most important department of a club. It is also well known that Brooklyn,
Philadelphia and Boston have better pitching than the Giants. How, then, are
the Giants going to beat out three clubs with better pitching? Last year
Detroit averaged a run a game more than Boston, This is a wide margin. But
Boston, with better pitching, won. Unless the Giants get far better pitching
than they have had since 1913, 1 can't see why they should be favorites.
11. L. D.
Good pitching is undoubtedly more important than any other department
of play. The Giants got good pitching after August. Without it, they will
have a hard time winning, in spite of their great strength in other lines. But
with only steady pitching they should win in a canter.
Discussing the continuation of football schedules next fall is a risky under
taking. Too many events can take place now in fifteen minutes—much less six
months—to set up the future for any target practice.
One Theory of Putting
Tap the ball with a leer,
But without any fuss;
If itHMrops in.—cheer;
If it stays out—cuss.
A number of our leading ball players are willing enough to be pro-Ameri
cans as long as they are not called upon to be pro-umpires. Each known
institution has a limit.
"Jess Willard too big to fight." Which proves again the complications of
modern war.
Which also proves the advantage of being a heavyweight as against the
lightweight proposition.
The only argument against Universal Service is this—on second thought,
there isn't any.
SHEARER WINS AT CARIJSLE

TROUT ANGLERS

I Season Prospects Encouraging;
Streams Well Stocked;
Favorite Places
Trout anglers were busy to-day in
preparation for the opening of the sea
son on Monday. The legal date for
catching trout is April 15, but being
Sunday the opening goes over until
the following day.
Local dealers predict a busy season,
basing their arguments on the large
sales of fishing tackle this year. An
other reason for the strong interest
in trout tlshing is due to the well
stocked streams throughout Pennsyl
vania. One tiling that has brought
popularity to the members of the State
Fish Commission, is the activity
shown in stocking streams.
Favorite Places
Harrisburg anglers have their fav
-1 orite fishing grounds. Tlite majority

will leave to-morrow night for streams
in Blair, Huntingdon, Mifflin, Lycom
ing and Clinton counties. Reports
from all over the State say that trout
is plentiful. The streams are said to
be in good condition and barring rain
will be in line shape for the opening
day.
