I.—Government agents have been conducting a quiet search for profiteers and hoarders of potatoes along the Old York Road section of Horsham and Hallowell. This is known as the "potato sec tion," where more than 100,000 bush els of potatoes are raised each year. Following the advice of President Wilson last year, farmers planted ad ditional acreage this year in potatoes. The crops were large and Federal agents have been callers at the homes of various growers in search of evidence that potatoes are being held for the higher prices which it is expected they will bring early next year. In one instance, it is said, an agent found hundreds of bushels of potatoes stored in the cellars of a large grower. The bin was sealed by the agent and the owner prom ised that his case will be attended to by authorities who will not tol erate hoarding of food. 240 Cases of Mumps at Fort Oglethorpe Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., Dec.

The Carlisle eleven made a clean sweep of the season and totalled nearly four times as many points as their opponents. This was the first year of athletics SOMETHING ABOUT PISTOL SHOOTING It Has Become Legitimate Sport in the Last Half Century Seldom do we hear nowadays of the debt of honor that has been can celed by the use of % brace of pistols in the hands of outwardly calm but inwardly excited gentleman of the purple. For 300 years previous to the last half of the nineteenth century the pistol was developed solely as 11 weapon of defense at very short dis tance, and, as already stated, prin cipally for dueling purposes. It is on record that the first pistols were made about 1540 by an Italian, Lam. inelleo Vitelli, at Pistoja, Italy. During the last half-century, how ever, the pistol has undergone many rapid and wonderful changes. This has been due principally to the fact that pistol shooting has become a legitimate sport, as target shooting requires a weapon of great precision and capable of accuracy at distances considered quite impossible in the early history of firearms. Pistol Not a Revolver The term "pistol" should not be confused with "revolver." for there is nothing very similar in the niech nnism of either. A pistol is either single shot or automatic. A single-shot pistol must be loaded for each shot. The auto matic is fed from a magazine, and several shots may be fired as fast as the trigger can be worked each time by the trigger linger. The revolver is so named because the cartridges are contained in a cyl inder which revolves as each shot Is tired. Pressing the trigger each time fires the cartridges and also turns the cylinder. Both the pistol and revolver are used for target shooting; the pistol however, is considered the more ac curate. Shooting is done indoors and out doors The standard distance for indoor shooting is 20 yards; for out door shooting, 50 yards, although various intermediate distances are also used. Championship contests are held In the spring and fall under the super vision of the United States Revolver Association, the governing body for the sport. These contests bring to gether many of the country's fore most shots. Pistol and'reveflver clubs are con stantly being organized, which is an indication that the sport has taken a firm hold with the pleasure and competition-loving American.

Th* Tribune Association CNv Tork Tribunal No one ever considers golf attached to any warlike detail. Its general color scheme is the green of the fairway and the gray and brown of the heather, not the red flame of battle. Yet golf's contribution to this war has been one of the big things of the times, for the old game has given both its men and its money in lavish profusion/ GOLF'S FINANCIAL AID There is no set record yet available as to how many dollars golf has turned in for the Red Cross or other war relief funds. But a faint estimate is at least possible. Back in May, on Memorial Day, metropolitan clubs of New York alone turned in over $90,000, single clubs contributing $6,000 and $7,000 to the fund. Later on, at Fourth of July tournaments throughout the country over SBO,OOO was raised. Here are two lone funds from golf that netted around $175,000. In ad dition to this are all the exhibition matches played by Oulmet, Travers, Kvans, Kirkby, Guilford. Sawyer, Anderson and others —dozens of these — which netted from SSOO to SI,OOO for each match. There was still another general contribution. Money collected back In April for prizes at more'than a thousand clubs was, almost without excep tion. turned over to the Red Cross and war. Many of these clubs turned in from SI,OOO to $1,500 each. Others only had SSOO to offer. .But the total ran up into important figures. Hero is a known record of golf contributions that reach the $500,000 mark, and . it doesn't include countless minor donations. There was the only July tourna ment among professionals and amateurs under the Golf Professionals' As sociation that netted over $5,000. AS FOR MEN But golf has done something more than turn In an immense sum of money, undoubtedly a greater amount than any other sport has been able to raise. Its contribution in men has been just as complete. Here is a partial list of leading stars: Bob Gardner, Ouimct, Marston, Kerr, Carter, Ham Gardner, Blossom, Topping, and any number of others. Since marching and the proper condition of legs and feet are a big part of war, golf has been a fine training for all of the men it has sent to service. The average golfer develops his legs and soon earns how to take good care of his feet. He must to continue the game. He thinks nothing of thirty-six holes a day, which means a twelve-mile walk up and down hills and across country, with no weariness attached. All in all, golf has made good in a big way, and will continue its big pro gram. THE SAME FOR TENNIS The same holds good for tennis, a companion sport. The complete con tribution tnat tennis has made in this war will be something to write about and something to talk about when the dove flies along the highway of the battleplane. Tennis also has given its men and its money in vast profusion. Starting with Major George Adee president of the Lawn Tennis Association on down through the list of its ranking men, there has been a mighty contribution to the cause. NOTHING WARLIKE BUT These two sports have never been considered as closely attached in their various processes to the game "over there." There was no warlike settings to their general make-up. Golf, especially, is a game of peaceful days, despite its mental and physical exasperations. it is a game of pleasant exercise, of friendly intercourse, philosophical rather than physical, set out in the open, well apart from the grind and grip of the city. But with the partial enumeration set forth above you have Its answer to the call. Athletic Union Plans For Athletic Revival; Prizes For All Winners New York, Dec. I.—With the an nouncement within the next few days of the national championship committee by President C. A. Dean, of Chicago, officials of the Amateur Athletic Union will begin arrang ing the program of athletic cham pionships to be held at various campft and cantonments throughout the country. Secretary Frederick W. Uubien announced yesterday that while no formal steps had been taken to seek the advice of the War Department concerning the expen diture of the $5,000 appropriated by the A. A. U. for the championships such a move would be made prob ably this week. "The main Idea," said Mr. Rubien, "is to get the boys in the camps in the physical condition necessary for the task they have assumed in shar ing their country's burden in the war. At the same time recreation of pleasant mind will be afforded the soldiers as they get their bodies in good physical condition." The A. A. U. officials plan to con duct competitions In all sporta In their season. All competitions will be under su pervision of the national champion ship committee of the A. A. U. and will be held simultaneously, or as near so as it is possible at all the camps. Regulation A. A. U. championship medals will be awarded to the va rious winners, but the design of these has not as yet been determined. GARBAGE CONTRACT AWARDED Philadelphia, Dec.

I.—Owing to conditions brought about by the war, it has become necessary to do some thing for the minor league ball clubs. Twelve minor leagues finish ed tne 1917 season, as against forty seven that were in the field a year or two ago. The majors are obliged to Keep the little fellows alive In or der to provide a field from which to draw players. However, the formation of the proposed third major league by a merger of clubs from the American Association and the International League promises to furnish the real fireworks of the meeting. Ban John son, John K. Tener and others who have proposed and planned this mer ger have been notified they will meet wills some strong oppositiou at the X.ouisviiie meeting. The fight against the proposed league is more or less local in the two organizations concerned. Cer tain elements in the Association and International are opposed to it, those elements Quite naturally consisting of the club owners who are not men tioned in the merger. Kast aiul West Differ Providence, in the East, lias voiced 'Jr oPP° si tion. and in the West, A. 1?. Timnie, president of the Milwau kee club, is leading the administra tion party of the Association which backing up President Hickey. President Hickey has a premonition that if a third major league is so formed Ed. Barrow, and not he. will be its president, and from all indica tions his premonition is eminently correct. Barrow would bcKthe logical man for the job, and is probably the on -> man who could put the merger over. This merger is in line with the plan to redistrict the leagues and bolster up weak spots. As a war measure it would at least provide a stronger circuit than either the In ternational or Association. For that reason it may be necessary to the game. Must Move Slowly But President Johnson and others who are planning it had better go slow in calling in a third major league. As a league second only to the majors it would be accepted. But it can hardly be foisted on the public as a third major league. If it is, Johnson and some of his co horts will have to gulp, down some of the assertions they made not so long ago in the days of the Federal League. It .seems almost ridiculous that organized baseball would attempt to do the very thing the Feds made a dismal faiure of, and it is probably not their intention at all to classify the league as a major. Ban John son was the most persistent in claim ing that there was no room for a third major league when the Feds were in the field, and he proved to be right. Some of the cities that made up the Federal League will form the new organization and they are no more big league cities now thar. they were then. No More "Slacker Commissions" For Men of Draft Age "Washington, Dec. 1. So-called •"slacker commissions," by which men of draft age seek to escape ser vice in the ranks and j?et officers' places in noncombatant tranches of the army, have struck a snag in two general policies laid down by Secre i tary Baker. These are, first, that no men of draft age be commissioned unless It Is shown clearly that they are better fitted for the special work to which they are called than any civilian be yond the draft ago whose services can be secured; and, second, that no function of the army that can be i carried on efficiently with civilians ! shall be placed on a military footing j by commissioning the men needed to nupervise the work. The problem of commissions in the various staff departments of the army that have to do with the sup ply lines, transportation, construc tion and a hundred other non-com batant functions of the servlfce Is a different one. There have been um merous cases of young men of draft age who have obtained commissions ! In those services and therefore are exempt from the operations of the selective service law under which the fighting troops arft being mobi lized. i LOCAL STARS ON WINNING TEAM Company I Lands Baseball Championship at Camp Hancock At Camp Hancock, baseball is still popular.

Gifford Pinchot, the noted conservation leader, urges the farmers of Penn sylvania to raise hogs. Mr. Pinchot says: "This war will be won by the whole American people working to gether. Many things are necessary to win it, but food comes first. The food needed for our Allies and our selves can be produced only by the good will and voluntary labor of tho men who grow it. For the farmer, who feeds us all, can neither be commanded nor compelled. lie more than any other man in the na tion, is his own master and docs what he thinks is right. "We often hear that Pennsylvania has the banner agricultural county of the United States, but we do not always remember that the largest i farm population among the states is ours, except for Texas only. Su premely great as Pennsylvania is in her industries, we must not forget that in agriculture also she is among the greatest, and able to render in calculable and indispensable service to the nation In the world war. "I appeal to the farmers of Penn sylvania to support the Government with every pound of food they can raise, and so help to bring the war to a prompt and victorious end. I make this appeal with full confi dence in their patriotic desire to support the Government in this great struggle, and to leave nothing undone that will help us to win the "Not all food is equally important. Until recently wheat was the most needed. Now, however, the wheat question has been answered, and we are likely to have all we need next year.
