SATURDAY EVENING, • IMPORTANT CHANGES HELP AMATEUR MORE BIG STATE EVENTS New York. Nov, 10.—One of the most important changes that has been made in a stood many years in the conduct of the Interstate Asso ciation for the encouragement of trapshooting was consummated yes terday at the annual convention which wound up a two days' session. This was the decision of the dele gates to do away with the subsidiary handicaps such as the Eastern. West ern, Southern and Pacific coast tour naments. A new system will be tried in that each suate in the Union will hold a championship event, the as sociation giving prize money of SIOO for each. This will make forty-six tournaments under the auspices of the organization instead of four. The old tournaments cost SI,OOO each, so it will amount to about the same outlay. Clianee For All Shooters At these championships there will be a handicap which will give every shooter a chance to compete in this sort of a contest before the Grand American handicap, which was once more awarded to the South' Shore Club, of Chicago, and which will take place in the latter part of August. Another innovation in connection with the Grand American was the decision to number the contestants in a manner similar to that in vogue for years at track athletic meets. It was found in the past that the spec tators had little chance to tell who was who when there were several hundred shooters banking away at the clay disks. A decision which is a change from the old order of things was made in the provision that .there shall l*e a professional championship for each state. A resident of one state may not compete for the championship of another, as heretofore. The pro fessionals in these tournaments will be allowed to shoot at the same time as the amateurs. Filing Protests The rule regarding the filing of protests which had been in vogue throughout the history of the organ ization was wiped off the books. l_p to vesterday no one could file a pro test against the amateur status of a man unless he were a member of the board of directors. Anyone may now do so and have the matter in vestigated. The bars were let down in the case of amateurs who volun teer to act as instructors in the gov ernment service. Hitherto anyone giving instruction was classed as a professional. Volunteers for Uncle Sam will not have their amateur status jeopardized. A committee to be called the De velopment Department was appoint ed. It consists of the following men: Fowler Manning, New Haven, Conn.: T. L Briggs, New York City; C. R. Eabson. New York City; T. E. Dore tnus. Wilmington, Del., and E. L. I/o'beaume. Wilmington, Del. This committee suggested the discontinu ance of the subsidiary handicaps. t/kdM? & GrantJ Copyright. 1(17, Th* Trlbun# Association York Tribunal YPRES-MENIX ROAD 1011-1017 A cloud of dust along the poplar'd road; A gray-green, mist like the sunrise o'er the Blums; The rhythmic tread of countless marching feet, ,\nd —as 1 watch—the German army comes.

G. TREVOR. A contemporary, as you might say, on a Berlin exchange, was a trifle loud in his uproariest merriment over the first batch of American troops captured. War, in this respect, is more than a lot like sport. The early huzza as the season opens isn't-always in evidence by July and August— and very r?rely any part of it remains at the finish. And in cither game the ultimate cackle is the only one that counts.- $150,000 MORE No one is looking for any sport exploitation just at this juncture. No one is considering any championship. But when, an event can be arranged whereby 30,000 or 40,000 people will be willing to pay out SIOO,OOO for the cause of Army equipment or other needs not covered by the set fund, that event should be very well worth while. It would be easily possible to collect this amount from an Army-Navy game at the Polo Grounds. It would be possible to collect almost this amount by a Michigan-Chi cago game in Chicago. . As things go now, any amount of extra work is required by a large number of people to collect even a portion of this total. It would seem, therefore, under the conditions now prevailing, that the two games might be arranged. There will be those who may complain that any big football game just now would be In bad taste. Nothing that is honorable could be in bad taste now that might easily add $150,000 to such a fund —a fund that could be used to purchase ath letic equipment and also to provide smokes for the big American Army now swinging into action. THE COMPLETE ROSTER If any one should ever glance through the roster of sport he could find an easy "answer as to how many capable fighting men Uncle Sam can put into the field. This roster of sport, using an estimate, shows that at least 10,000,000 men between the ages of twenty and forty could be called on and that most of these have been trained and conditioned by some variety of game. A few days ago we were talking with a major of infantry, now stationed at one of the camps for drafted men. He was astounded at the rapid de velopment of the recruits and the quick way they picked up the new game. For most of this he gave credit to some sort of sport that had made not only for an Increased physical development, but also for a better knack in general at tackling a new game. SAY 8 PER CENT? Many are called—but, after the call, How many keep their eyes on the ball? Re-editing an old adage, when things begin to look blackest, there Is usually a flash of light on ahead. Not always—but the average is far be yond the best average of even Ty Cobb. In behalf of a few scattered protests, there was no intention here to charge all winning football teams as bordering upon less service to the country. Brown and Michigan, among other winners, had very little old material to work with. Local Stars to Play .On Gettysburg Team Gettysburg, Nov. 10.—L. K. Shelter r.nd S. E. Phillips. Jof Harrisburg, have been playing fine football on the Gettysburg College team this season. Both men have been In all the games this season. Sheffer as end and Phil lips as fullback. These stars will be in the game it Island Park Saturday, November 17 when Gettysburg plays Bucknell. | The scope of the committee will be |to go out and look over the clubs ! and devise ways and means to pro | mote the sport. They are going to employ an organizer who will have no axes to grind through represent ing some one powdei company. The object is to try to interest the great est possible number of shooters with the least possible cost to him. Many Cash lMics The association will be conducted with the same general policy as in other years, giving $20,000 in prizes for registered tournaments. About SIO,OOO will be spent for trophies for the amateurs, the rest being cash prizes. This is an indication that the association is gradually getting closer to the generally accepted idea of what an amateur really is. It was decided as in other years to give a trophy to the winner of the high average among the amateurs for the year. A tournament commit tee was appointed consisting of T. E. Doremus, Wilmington, Del.; James T. Shelly, Wilmington, Del.; J. Deon ard Clark. New York City; J. Squier, Cincinnati, 0., and F. B. Drew. New Haven, Conn. On this committee de pends the registering of tournaments and the scheme of holding- state championships. The question of hav ing a class system inaugurated was referred to it.- The committee has hopes of getting all clubs to adopt the system, which will be work ed out by It instead of having their , own local arrangements. The following trophy committee was appointed: C. R. Babson, New York City; A. C. Coppel, New Haven. Conn., and E. R. Galvin, Wilmington. Del. Increase For Shaner It was voted to publish the aver ages every month instead of annu ally so that the shooters may know where they stand during the vear: This will be started in April, 1918. The salary of Elmer E. Shaner. the treasurer and mauager, was in creased SI,OOO a year. A motion to the effect that Mr. Shaner be allowed to handicap the Grand American was killed, bnt he wilt pick the five amateurs to do the work as hereto fore. A suggestion was made that on ac count of the increasing price in metal only live trophies instead of seven be awarded in the state championships. This was referred to the tournament committee for action. It was announced that eighty-six traps are in operation at the various American camps now. and several more in Fiance. Already a million clay targets have been supplied for the home and foreign traps and two million have been ordered to be sent to American and foreign camps weekly. Those sent to American camps here are to be used for In structive purposes, while those sent to France are intended to furnish i recreatiqn for the soldiers under General Pershing's, command. FOR BENEFIT OF SOLDIERS Blain, Pa., Nov. 10.—As a result j of the public meeting held last even | ing in the town hall.

More than 100 educators, practical farmers and patrons of agriculture yesterday at the State College agricultural ex periment station on .abandoned farm land at Snow Shoe s\w a demonstra tion of how America can meet the food shortage which the world is fac "'t'wo seasons of experimenting have shown, according to records demon strated yesterday, that almost half of the area of Pennsylvania 12,500,000 acres may be turned from Its present unproductiveness into profitable farm."". Thirty-three plot* of one-tenth acre each were laid out on a Held abandon ed forty vears ago and which since had only sweet fern, posterity grass and stunted sorrel, with a mass of stones and thin, sandy soil. It was like the fifty or more abandoned farms of upper Center county in phy sical characteristics. Tests showed the soil to be acid, and lime was the first need, acid phosphate, sodium nitrate, nuriate of potash rock phosphate and manure were the other fertilizers used, differ ent combinations being used in vari ous areas. Here are some of the results in field B. which was planted in white clover sweet clover and Kentucky blue grass: Plot No. I—No fertilizer used; yield, none. Plot No. 2 —Limestone fertilizer; yield, trifling. Plot No. 3 —Limestone and acid phosphote; yield, 1362 pounds per acre. Plot No. 4—Limestone, acid phos phate and manure; yield. 1452 pounds.

STEELTON GAME MAY BE LAST Refusal on Part of Coach George Cockill to Change Officials the Cause To-day's game at Steelton, between Tech and Steelton High, may end athletic rotations between these two institutions so far as football is con cerned. With the announcement of officials for to-day's game, according to the belief of Tech High officials. Conch George Cockill threw his hat into the ring. The officials were not protested by Tech's athletic director and Coach George Cockill positively refused to make any changes. Prof. Charles S. Davis, principal of the Steelton High school, and who has always been an advocate of clean sport, was appealed to. He promised to do everything within his power to prevent any trouble and said he would try and have another referee selected. However, it was up to Coach George Cockill, and if rtothlng could be done as to referee, ample police protection was assured. When these facts were considered Tech High olticials were in favor of calling off the game. In fact they were ready to give notice to Steelton that Tech would not play. Coach Ryan suggested that the players be given a chance to be heard. Captain Lloyd after a conference with the players said they were willing to play, if there is any trouble, Captain Lloyd will call his men from the field. * ■ Manic Cockill Tech officials are blaming only George Cockill and regret that he controls the situation. They have only warm words of praise for Prof. Davis and Steelton's faculty, and realize that they are powerless ex cept to do their best in preventing an outbreak. Waltz, who Jias been selected for referee is from Pottsville. It is said he never played in a football game, never handled a contest, and is un known in scholastic or college sport. Jack Johnson, the umpire, is a col legemate of Coach Cockill. but his ability and honesty have never been questioned. Fairbaugh, the head linesman, comes from Lehigh, was captain some years ago, but has never officiated in a football game. In refusing to make any change Coach Cockill called attention to the fact that in 1914 at Bucknell, Ref eree Lynn caused some trouble, and that Coach Ryan was an official also in that game. That the latter was not i objectionable, was proved last Sat urday when he officiated again in a game at Bucknell. This argument on the part of Coach Cockill is taken ■ as indication that he wants to day's | game for Steelton at all hazards. Of ficials at Tech and Coach Ryan say ! that they have done their part. If : the game is clean, all right, if trou i ble comes, the one person to blame 'is Cockill. YANKEES CRAVE TOBACCO DURING WORK IN TRENCH Telegraph Fund Grows Stead ily For Benefit of Our Fighting Men Sir Walter Raleigh, as we know. Was famous in his time; He wrote a history of the world And many a nifty rhyme. But what we love him for the most— All generous-hearted folk— Is that he found tobacco, So you all can buy a smoke. And buy that smoke for the Yanks over in the trenches and out in the camps. The redolent, soothing aroma from our good old Virginia leaf, the same that nippsd the nostrils of old Walt Raleigh a couple of hundred years ago, is what the boys crave when they have emerged from those deathtraps over in Belgium and Prance. Read some of their letters and you will see that tobacco has its Place as a necessity In an army. And is it not far better than any sort ol stimulant? Sure. Smoking is the only luxury to be had. The aviators who are doing so much to blot out forever the savage Hun smoke even while they drop their bombs. The men crowded in the trenches, some times with dirty water up to tne waist, !--olace themselves with a eig aret. It Is about their only leaven in a horrible existence. The Jlarrisburg Telegraph has received a generously decent sum from the generoys readers, but mucn more will be needed. For every twenty-five cents contributed the American Tobacco Company gives forty-five cents worth of tobacco. Come on and lend a little teamwork. The soldier boys abroad who want their own American tobacco will biess you.

B.—The people and parliament of Iceland are demanding a flag of their own and more inde pendence. although the lslartd pos sesses more extended home rule, ac cording to a dispatch from Iceland to the Polltken, of Copenhagen, and for warded by the Exchange Telegraph Company. The correspondent of the Politken says that the newspapers of Iceland express the hope that the king of Denmark will sanction their demand. Otherwise, he sees no other solution than a separation from Denmark. COSTA RICA CONSUL HELD An Atlantic Port—WUhelm Ery thropel, who has been consul-general of Germany at San Jose, Costa Rica, has arrived here on an American steamship with his wife and two chil dren, and has been taken in charge by officials of the Department of Justice. It is understood that he will leave the country with a party of German diplomatists and consular agents from other countries which have severed relations with Ger many and are being concentrated in the United States preparatory to sail ing for home. NOVEMBER 10, 1917. * WELLY If i W CORNER, Coach George Cockill, according to reports, will be responsible for any trouble that may happen at Steeiton to-day. His refusal to guarantee-Sat isfactory officials, is taken as an indi cation that he proposes to win to day's game at any cost. When the Central board refused to send of ficials to Steeiton because of the as sault on Referee Hltchler, two weeks ago, it was up to him to get men who would be satisfactory. If there is trouble Tech will sever athletic relations with Steeiton High. It is a great pity that Prof. Charles S. Davis, the principal of Steeiton High school, who is strong for clean sport, must stand for the action of a coach. Prof. Davis has promised po lice protection atfd will have the as sistance of the Bethlehem Steel Com pany's police. It is hoped they will be able to take care of any attempts to start trouble from the outside. If it was left up to the players in a football game, there would not be much trouble. It is the outsiders who interfere and they get busy whenever SOME INTERESTING CONTESTS IN ELECTION OFBOROUGH OFFICIALS Official Vote in Cumberland County Towns Announced; Recount in Fifth Ward, Carlisle, May Be Ordered For Alleged Irregularity Carlisle.
