WEST FAIRVIEW SHOOTERS CRIMP HARRISBURG'S WINNING STRIDE —BIG SCORES WEST FAIRVIEW WINS BIG SHOOT; RECORD SCORES West Falrvlew shooters had their revenge yesterday. In the third tour nament of the Pennsylvania Kour- Clty Trapshooters League, held at York yesterday, they won out. scoring a total of 958 polnt9. Harrisburg was the runner-up with a total of 946 targets. York was third with a total of 902, and Lancaster fourth with S9l. West Fairvlew now has one leg on the league championship, and Harrls burg has two. The next shoot will be held at West Fairvlew next month, and should yesterday's winners repeat their victory, a fifth tournament will be necessary, and will take place on a neutral grounds. In winning yesterday's match the 'Cross-lilver tied up with Harrisburg on the total number of targets. This means a new record for 6,000 targets. The exhibition by West Fairvlew yes terday has never been equaled in any event held in Pennsylvania. The per centage for the three tournaments 1s 93 1-3. Fairvlew Set* Pace There Is no denying the fact that M. B. Stewart and his colleagues are setting a pace that will make all teams hustle at the finish. All the more glory is due to the victors be cause they represent one of the small est towns in the State having a sportsmen's club. There are. many cities with a big population who cannot muster a squad of stars equal to those representing West Fairvlew at the traps yesterday. Esheno\ir. Stewart. Disney, W. A. Miller, J. H. Preeland and Wagner were big factors In the victory. No j squad In a trapshooting contest has anything on this quintet. As yester day's contest will be registered In the Interstate Association matches for the year. West Fairvlews achieve ment will go down in history as a remarkable performance. They had a total of seventeen shooters In their squad, whl(e Harrisburg had sixteen. The local team was without several crack shots who were factors In win ning previous victories. Martin Winn High Honor* High score honors were tied up. GIIN THAT FITS j IS NECESSITY Interesting Feature at Grand American Handicap to Give Aid to Shooters By PETER P. CARNEY Editor National Sports Syndicate I The shotgun that tits makes for hotter scores at the traps and for | fewer misses in the Held. Trap and Held shots have awakened I to this fart only in the past few ' years. Not one of the high-class trap shoes are too large—or tow small, nor j without a gun that has been built to i lit him. lou can't expect a track athlete to I give a good performance if his spiked | shoes are to large—or too small, nor a socker player to show his best in | street attire, nor a golfer to do ex cellent work unless lie has the proper ] tools, so why shouldn't a shooter go to the traps or go hunting in the field | with a gun that is made for him? | In the past trapshooters have been I more or less- careless in purchasing a I gun. Anything would do but they have realized the error, and now they j are being fitted for a gun just like you get fitted for a suit of clothing. And it must fit just as well as the clothing to get results. Unn Tailors One of the leading ammunition com panies of the United States will have six of its best professional trapshoot ers at the Grand American Handicap in Chicago, 111., during the week of August 20 with try guns to measure any one who feels that his old gun doesn't fit, or persons who are inclin ed to purchase a new gun. These gun tailors are: Jack Fan ning. of New York; Lestern German, of Aberdeen, Md.; Del Gross, of Kan sas City. Mo.; C. O. Le Compte, of Ashevilie, N. C.; Art. Killam, of St. Louis, Mo., and Guy E. Holohan, of Los Angeles, Cat. These men will b£ equipped with try guns, a device invented for ascer taining the right size shotgun one should use, and will be at the beck : and call of contestants and visitors! during the period of the tournament ! nnd without expense to those seeking advice. They will be on the ground j to aid shooters—their idea being to! help every one to make better scores, I and they feel that this can only Be' accomplished by every one using a j scattergun that fits.

Two j very desperately contested races vfur i nished the best thrills of the entire * week on getaway day of the grand t circuit meeting here. The 2.18 pace, j in which Marjorie Kay was a first ! choice, furnished the sensational work. , This race was the longest of the , grand circuit season and not until the end of seven heats was Abbe j Bond declared the winner over Rob- i ert Gatewood, the 3-year-old pacer J that Ed Geers gave his maiden race s yesterday afternoon. Both these t horses were In a $7 field on a ticket worth $77. Sensational was the clip this 3-year-old could carry in the stretch. It was only his newness to racing and his youth that made him tire and finally give up the fight. The first heat of this race was won by The Weed, a local horse. He was sent to the half in 1.00 and cam home In 2.04 >4 in his maiden big line performance. The clin was too much for him and he was a contender In the sec. ond heat, only to drop back later among the place finishers. Geers' 3-year-old Robert Gatewood sepa rately timed this first heat paced in ' 2.04%. The Neil House 2.07 trot, purse i $3,000, was another open race. Dif ferent horses won the first three heats. Wilkes Brewer, the original favorite, then squared away and re warded the confidence of her backers. Judges announced at the close of 1 the meeting that the SIOO fine and ten days' suspension on Dick McMahon for not trying to win with : Hal Boy on Thursday in the free for-all pace and which punishment was held in abeyance pending an In vestigation had been changed to sim ply a fine of SIOO. -The suspension was lifted, but the fine remained on ' admission of Mr. McMahon that he i laid up the first heat. WEAVER OUT OF GAME Washington, D. C„ Aug. 11. —Buck Weaver, star third baseman of the Chicago Americans, suffered a broken finger in the game here with Wash ington yesterday and will probahly be out of the game for the next three or four weeks, a critical period in the pehnant race. The accident occurred In the third Inning when Ainsmith, sliding into third, spiked Weaver's lofc hand as the latter tried I to touch him out. The extent of the injury was not determined until last night, whan a surgeon's examination revealed a broken Index finger.

THE SLACKERS By GERALD MASSEY They are gone; better so; we should know who stand under Our banner; let none but tho trusty remain; For there's stern work at hand, and the time comes shall sunder The shell from the pearl and the chaff from tho grain; And the heart that through danger and death will be dutiful, Soul that with Cranmer In tire would shake hands. With a life like a palace-home built for the beautiful, Freedom for all her beloved demands. They are gone from us! Yet shall we march on victorious, Hearts burning like beacons —eyes fixed on the goal; I And if wo fall lighting, we fall like the glorious, I • With face to tho stars and all Heaven in the soul. And aye for the brave air of battle we'll barter The sword of lifo sheathed in the peace of the grave; AND BETTER THE FIERIEST FATE OF THE MARTYR THAN LIVE LIKE THE COWARD AND DIE LIKE THE SLAVE! BASEBALL AND WAR The statement has been made that club owners and magnates are both scrambling wildly to avert tho draft upon ball players. If this is true, those connected with baseball are making tho mistake of their careers, and they have made their sliare before. The importance of baseball, In comparison with the war at hand, is as nothing against a million. Ball players with dependent families should be exempt. But In no other respect, if they are physically lit, should they be treated one whit different, from an_v other citizen. Captain Huston, ono of the Yankee owners, has the proper idea. "Not only should players not be exempted," he says, "but club owners and mag nates should volunteer their services to the government for engineering or quartermaster's work." In regard to Sunday benefit games. Captain Huston bellevtes these should be allowed, but that every nickel taken in should be turned over—not a mere percent. So far there is no questioning the fact that baseball hasn't done its full duty by the nation, save in one or two Isolated cases. If it falls down further there will be n.o baseball after this season until the war is over. NOT QUITE THE SAME Win or lose this season, the White Sox of 1917 are quite a different array from the White Sox of the last two years. In 1915 and 1916 they had the habit of curling up quietly when as saulted at vital moments by the Red Sox avalanche, but 1917 is another affair. This season they have not only shown their ability to hold the Red Sox In check, but on at least three occasions they have rallied sharply after hard reverses to come back for revenge. The Red Sox won the pen nant last season in the main by whipping the White Sox and tho Tigers in decisive meetings. So far this season they have been unable to break through the White Sox rampart. The two rivals still have a brace of series left, one at Chicago-and one in Boston, and if the White Sox hold their own in these two debates they will carry a far better chance of final victory than a good many of us thought th,ey had a few days or a few weeks ago. AND UMPIRES FOR PATROL DUTY IX NO-MAX'S LAND Dear Sir: Why not, to build up an efficient army, draft ball players for bomb throwers, golfers for trench diggers, football players for line break ers and turn the lighters and fight managers Into sappers and other under ground work? Li. g_ H. W. wants to know If Ban Johnson, in suggesting that the world series be called off, would rather send his American League champs against the Germans than the Giants. Not if Ban has looked up the world series dope of the last seven years. We have been, requested to start a golf association wherein the cups on the putting greens will be made as large as the bunkers, with the bunkers reduced to the present size of the cups. The scheme sounds feasible enough, only in tho mad stampede to join we fear that too many golfers would be injured in the crush. WAR SOXG The pitchers who have faced Ty Cobb Should be good for this German job. At least they ought to be immune To any whistling bullet's tune. A number of letters have come in recently as to whether Benny Leonard as per his agile press agent, has enlisted yet. The press agent merely said that Benny was going to enlist. He may have meant for the Home Guard of 1932. Other teams not scheduled. American League No games scheduled. WHERE THEY PLAY MONDAY American I.cairue Boston at Philadelphia. New York at Washington.

NEW RECORD FOR STATE CIRCUIT Heading Horse Steps Fast Mile at Altoona; Other Winners Altoona, Pa., Aug-. 11.—A new Penn sylvania state track record was estab lished and two Altoona track records shattered yesterday at the final day's race program of the opening of the Central Pennsylvania circuit fneeting.

Marys ville has already won two rags for Perry county and Newport has about clinched another for the hoop-pole county. Dauphin will hold its accustomed place for the third consecutive sea son. They are good runners up. Sanders, the third youngstei* tried out by Marysville, made a favorable impression in the Millersburg ser ies. Lightner seems to have made good in the outtleld. The record of Harry Biever, ot Halifax, in permitting but twenty nine batters to face him and allow ing but two hits, ranks well among the league's best. Then, too, it must be considered that Harry has passed through thirty-four summer* and autumns and winters and springs. Ike McCord, who quit the Hagers town team of the Blue Ridge League to go with the Steelton team of the Bethlehem Steel Company League, and who lately has been playing with the Duncannon team, has again returned to Hagerstown, where he is covering himself with glory. Ed die Hooper, who has been playing in the outfield for Newport, has also gone to Hagerstown where he is holding down the third corner and hitting like a fiend. Kid Strieker is still heaving them over for Newport in fine style and has a record of ten games won and two lost. This is really the best rec ord made by any pitcher in the league, although several rank high er in the percentage column. "Fats" Wagner, of Newport, has been busting up the games with honre runs quite regularly this sea son. He now has four circuit drives to his credit. Wagner is enjoying the best year of his career. Bud Fry covered right field for Millersburg in a recent game be cause of a black aye suffered tho previous evening when hit with a batted ball. The Millersburg team has been doing better during the past several weeks. Regular practice seems to be helping the Millers. MARSANS BREAKS LEG New York, Aug. 11. Armondo Marsans, the Cuban outfielder re. cently procured by the New York Amorican League club from St. Louis j in a trade for Lee Magee, broke his I right leg in the first inning of the gam ebetween New Yodk and Cleve | land here yesterday. Marsans met with tho injury while sliding home. His spikes caught in the plate and snapped tho bone Just above the ankle. Marsans is the fourth big league player to break a leg this year. Vic Saier, of the Cubs, broke one of his leg early in the season sliding to base. Bill Hlnchman suf fered a like injury on the Phillies' grounds in sliding home. Catcher McCarty, of the Giants, is another player who broke a leg in the game. French Invincible, Stillman Asserts New York —"The French will never be beaten," said James Still man, chairman of the board of di rectors of the American Red Cross, on his return from Europe. "Such r.uperb spirit can never be crushed. But America must come to appreciate the immensity of the task we have before us and take counsel from those who have borne the brunt of the fighting." Mr. Stillman said he had never seen such wonderful esprit de corps as the whole French nation is ex hibiting. Of the Red Cross he said it is accomplishing remarkable con structive work and is enlarging its field all the time. "They are getting a fine organiza tion," he said, "and that is Just what is needed. They have shown that they can get all the money they need, | but it must be understood that more money will ho necessary all the time as long as this war lasts. Organiza tion is paramount, and all the small er organizations that are doing such good work should come directly into tho Red Cross and each help the other." ENGAGEMENT AXXOVNCED Carlisle. Pa., Aug. 11.—Announce ment of the engagement of Miss Hazel Klsner, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Klsner, to Harold T. Faslck, a son of the Rev. A. S. Fasick, for mer head of the Carlisle conference of the Methodist Church, was made here to-day. Miss Klsner is a graduate of Dickinson College and Is prominent socially. Mr. Fasiek Is at present at the officers training camp at Fort Ehcrldan, 111, „ WELLY'S CORNER When •It comes down to brass tacks, those West Fairvlew shooters are the real target dusters. It must not be overlooked that they come from a town small In size and when you take away from that village a bunch of shooters like that at York yesterday, the population has been greatly decreased. West Fairvlew sportsmen are doing a big part in making trapshooting attractive in Pennsylvania. They are real sports men. E. W. Shank, a local shot, who is also a strong contender for honors in dispensing automobile knowledge, has railroads beaten to a frazzle. With his trusty Franklin yesterday he carried five passengers to and from York in record time. Losing the road on his way home did not worry him one bit. He knew tho end would lead him to Harrisburg and he kept going, and was ahead of his schedule on arrival at his des tination. Some stars do not take kindly to photographs.

Miss Mildred Sheesley, who has been winning laurels In preliminary German Has 3,000,000 Fighters, Russians Say; The Census Was Falsified Paris, Aug. 11.—Further proof concerning the falsified German cen sus before the war, which baffled al lied military critics because the Gor man man power has proved greater since the war than would have been possible if the population had been only 65,000,000, was forthcoming to day from the Russian mission in Paris, which announced to me that eighty-eight German divisions were now fighting on the Russo-Rouma nian front and 148 were opposing the French and British on the west front. (A German division, according to recent authoritative statements from Paris, Is about 13,000 men. The eighty-eight divisions on the Russo- Rounmanian front, therefore, would total 1,144,000 men; the 148 on the western front, 1,924,000, making a grand total of 3,068,000 men.) This official statement effectually disposes of the numerous allegations of war correspondents during the last few months that "such and such a number of divisions have just ar rived at the Russian front and were thrown Into the fighting by Rup preeht or the Crown Prince." Of course certain divisions have been transferred from east to west and vice versa, but the Germans ac tually had stripped the eastern front of the best troops after the Russian retreat in the autumn of 1915, holding the lines thereafter prin cipally with reserve divisions of Resorts ATLANTIC CITY, N.

Di rectors will meet and take up this question. There can be one decis ion, a team race is always decided by matches. Any other way would be absurd. "What would happen if baseball championships were decided on the total number of runs of each team at the close of the season. Three star catchers In the New York TBtate League will cjuit the game because of the draft call. They are Frank Crossin, Scranton, and Frank Fisher and Joe Haddock.

Germany sprang a great surprise last autumn by creat ing a shock army for overrunning Roumanla and a second surprise last month by putting another offensive army into Gallcla, which already has reached Bessarabia. As I pointed out on July 27, General Boehm-Erniol li's army is composed of young troops, as no Landsturm or Land- I wehr could march so fast as the Germans were advancing. The Rus sian announcement to-day asserts that the German forces comprise twelve active divisions, eleven re serve, twenty-one newly formed, sixteen Ersatz, twenty-eight Land wehr, totalling eighty-eight. Addi tionally are fifteen unattached regi ments. equalling five divisions, al though usually a German division is now composed of three regiments. The Austro-Hungarians have forty one divisions on the enst front, the Turks four and the Bulgarians two double divisions, equalling four. Thus the enemy has 137 divisions against the Russo-Roumanian?), not counting tho I-iandstiirm nor cav alry. The Austrlans have thirty-six divisions on the Italian front.
