SENATORS IN
LIVEBIRD SHOOT
Veterans From Philadelphia
Win Sensational Match
From York Colleague
Handicapped by a strong north
west wind and shooting exceptionally
fast birds, Senator David Martin, of
Philadelphia, this afternoon, on the
grounds of the Harrisburg Sports
men's Club, Second and Division
streets, won the championship of the
Senate by defeating Senator Henry
Wasbers, York, in a live bird match.
Senator Martin, although in the
seventies, has a keen eye and killed
thirteen birds to Senator 'Wasbers'
eleven. Both Senators were handi
capped by a strong northwest wind
which swept the Held like a gale,
carrying the birds with it. It was
blowing directly against the shooters
and carried the birds straight away
from the traps at terrific speed. Both
made several sensational shots, the
best of which was credited to Sen
ator Wasbers.
York Shooters Last Bird
The shot was made on his
twenty-fifth bird, which flew straight
\ip from the traps and was
carried across the field with light
nlng*tlke rapidity. It looked lfke an
almost impossible shot, but the Sen
ator brought the bird to terra Ilrma
with one barrel.
The event was witnessed by mem
bers of both the Senate and Legisla
ture and other State officials and
at its conclusion several of these held
a practice shoot.
Fred Schwarz. member of the Phil
adelphia Council, referred the match
between the Senators. The score
follows:
.Martin llOlO, 12001, 01102,
lUOUO, 01110—13.
Washers ll2OO, 00000, 00001,

Copyright, 1917, The Tribune Association (New York Tribune).
Some one, a day or two ago, was discussing the question of Hans Wag
| ner's successor.
The King has abdicated—has passed on out —and so far the throne is still
vacant.
In our hazy opinion this matter of awarding the 191" title —King of
| Shortstops—is the toughest assignment in sport.
There are two or three first basemen who loom above the mast —two'or
three second basemen—such as Collins. Herzog and Barry—and two or
! three third basemen—such as Baker and Gardner.
But when the argument begins to bubble and pop around shortstop, the
matted tangle grows apace.
Who Is He?
I Expert shortstopplng isn't a matter of one or two men. Around this job
I more stars are buzzing than any other position in the game may carry.
(There are sixteen major league shortstops—all told. Of this number at least
eight are stars. No other position can boast of 50 per cent, of stardom.
| The catchers can't —the pitchers can't—and neither can the outfielders,
! where average big league play predominates.
! But take a brief slant at the shortstop array:
i Maranville—-Boston Nationals,
i Peckinpaugh—New York Americans. •
Fletcher —New York Nationals,
j Socftt —Boston Americans.
I Chapman—Cleveland Americans.
Bancroft—Philadelphia Nationals.
I Bush—Detroit Americans,
i Hornsby—St. Louis Nationals.
! To this list might be added George Mcßride and Lavan —but Mcßride is
| no longer near his prime and Lavan doesn't quite come up to the standard
| listed.
From this list above—who comes closest to Wagner's deserted throne?
Even Break
Four of these listed are from the American and four from the National.
Of the lot Hornsby is the leading hitter, but as a fielding shortstop, he
doesn't yet figure with the Maranville-Peck-Scott array.
The two best inilelding shortstops In the American League are Peckin
paugh and Scott. Both are stars of major caliber.
In the National League the two best fielding shortstops are Maranville
and Bancroft. But neither can hit with Fletcher, of New York, who is also
a brilliant infielder
Working on down, we should say the four most valuable shortstops in the
game, judged on last year's records and this season's showing, are Maran
ville and Fletcher, from the National League, and Peckinpaugh and Scott,
from the American.
From this lot Fletcher is the best hitter and Maranville a more sensa
tional infielder, though no steadier than Peek and Scott. Fletcher last year
land the year before was about 40 points at bat beyond any of these.
But for general value as among the four the shade Is too slight to be
gathered in and branded at this early stage.
And so far no Wagner—fielding brilliantly and batting around .350 —has
come along.
Vain Desire
Has any man his heart's desire?
Or, having it, is he content?
The magnate wants one million more—
The kid of ten wants just one cent;
The boy can scarce wait to grow up.
And grown-ups sigh for vanished youth;
While Boston surely would prize Ty—
Detroit just hankers after Ruth.
Those on the throne long for a hut:
\ Those in the hut yearn for the throne;
Some other fellow's little Jane
Looks better to us than our own;
Where is the man who's satisfied
To take each hour as it is spun?
In summertime we long for snow—
When winter's here we want the sun.
JOHN H. M'GOUGH.
The main trouble is that too many people don't understand what Uni
versal Service nierins. It simply means that an entire nation is willing to
serve in times of trouble —and if it isn't, it ought to be. Which ends the
debate.
Those who are drilling or who are engaged in some form of military
training—or those who are farming—have no need for sport. But those
not listed in the above classes still need sport more than ever, and every
possible plan should be adopted to keep them Interested in a physical up
keep which may come in with great effectiveness later on. The better
health a citizen keeps the better he is able to stand up against whatever'
fate may befall.
"Which would make the worst 'rough' on a golf course,' queries Paddy,
"an onion bed or a cabbage patch?" Offhand we should say the best
"rough" for a golf course would be a sugar cane patc;h.
Still, a potato patch would be useful. Every time a golfer took a divot he
would be assisting in, the harvest of the potato crop.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
COCKILL'S CREW LOSE IN
FIRST GAME AT ELMIRA;
MISPLAYS LARGE FACTOR
(Special to The Telegraph.)
Elmira, N. Y., May 3. —Enthusiasm
ran high here yesterday on occasion of
opening of the State League baseball
season, despite chilly weather and
overcast sky. The weather was more
seasonable for football than national
pastime.
Notwithstanding dis c o u r a g 1 n g
weather conditions a great crowd
welcomed the teams at Recreation
Park in the afternoon. The majority
of factories and business houses
closed their doors In honor of the
event, that all employes might en
joy the sport. The result was that
this city took on holiday appear
ance.
A big baseball demonstration and
parade preceded the actual conflict
In which many civic organizations
an dlarge representations of fans,
together with Harrisburg and Elmira
teams, participated.
Demonstration at Luncheon
The Elmira Chamber of Commerce
1 luncheon at Federation Building was
'turned into a baseball demonstration.
Members of Elmira businessmen's
asociatlon and Rotary Club members
. wore guests and formed the nucleus
for the big parade that followed.
President M. Doyle Marks of the
Southern Tier Baseball Association,
President William H. Snyder of the
Elmira Businessmen's Association
and Ex-Senator John F. Murtaugh,
were luncheon speakers and confined
their remarks to baseball. A suc
cessful outlook for the new season
and reference to the civic good ac
complished by sport for various cities
represented featured the addresses.
The Elmira and Harrisburg teams
were invited to lunched" but declined
on account of the close proximity of
the hour to that of the game's open
ing time.
Parade Starts
The parade, made up of several
hundred citizens both in automo
biles and on foot started at 1:30 p.
m. and marched through the busi
i ness section, headed by Hauver's
! band. The parade disbanded at the
| corner of Lake and Water streets,
where cars were in waiting to con
vey the crowds to Recreation Park.
| The baseball Held presented a gay
i appearance. The grandstand and
; bleachers were filled with enthusias
tic crowds, while the outfield was
circled with fans unable to secure
other accommodations. &
Unfurl Large Flag
Prior to the game the Harrisburg
and Elmira teams formed in front
of the grandstand and headed by the
band, Mayor H. N. Hoffman, Presi
dent M. Doyle Marks of the local j
team, President A. P. Mof"">\v of the j
Chamber of Commerce, and William j
H. Snyder, president of the Business
men's Association, marched to the j
tlagstaff in a far corner of the field,!
where a large American flag was un
furled to the breezes. Players stood
with uncovered heads and the spec
tators stood and Joined in singing
"The Star Spangled Banner."
It was an inspiring sight and the
crowd cheered lustily as the teams
marched back across the field and
sought benches prior to the umpire's
welcome announcement of batteries,
and the old familiar "play ball."
Mayor Hoffman tossed the first ball
over the plate—or nearly so—and the
1917 season was officially begun.
The Game fs On
Umpire Glatts announced the bat
teries and named the players as they
came to bat. Harrisburg led off. but
was unable to do much with Matte
son. Cooper was tight. In the second
inning slight attacks of forgetful
ness with the visitors' infield gave
the locals one run.
Through the unsteadiness of the
visiting infield and Pitcher Matte
son's clever slants, Elmira got the
