Federal Agents Seeking
For Potato Hoarders
Philadelphia, Dec. 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. I.—Two
hundred and forty cases of mumps
and eighty cases of measles prevail
among i the thirty thousand soldiers
at this post, but there have been few
deaths and the situation is not
alarming.
Nearly all those who have died of
measles were from states where the
hookworm rate was high.

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.

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.

CAMPAIGN FOR
MINOR LEAGUE
Strong Opposition to Plans
For Third Major League;
Must Move Slowly
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

Company I Lands Baseball
Championship at Camp
Hancock
At Camp Hancock, baseball is still

team in a baseball game for the
championship of the Twenty-eighth
Division, score S to 6. The game

his place. A single, two bases on
balls and a double netted three more
runs. Company 1 scored again in
the third. Waltz's walk, Fitzgerald's
single and Swartz's single netted an
other. In the Seventh Gevanis tripled

Pinchot Appeals to Farmers
to Raise More Hogs
Philadelphia, Dec. 1. 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. But we are going to require 1
more animal products, and especial
ly more pork."
Let Government Furnish
Seed at Cost, Say Farmers
Washington. Dec. 1. —President A.
C Townley, of the National Non
partisan League, to-day asked Pres
ident Wilson to urge upon congress
an appropriation of $50,000,000 for
the purchase of seed and feed to be
sold at cost to farmers of the north
west who, he said, are in financial
straits because of the failure of
ciops in two successive years.
Mr. Townley told the President
that the farmers in North Dakota, j
Montana, Kansas, Nebraska and I
parts of Oklahoma and Minnesota,
whom he represented, had answered
the country's call for more food by
Increasing their acreage this year
and the failure of the enlarged crops
had hit them heavily.

learned that Brown had sold them
at reduced rates, with instructions
to keep quiet about It. Brown as
serted that he got the cigars from
a man named "Gus," with whom he
had been dealing for years, but
whose last name he does not know.
"Ous" according to Brown, delivered
the 25,000 cigars in two large auto
trucks.
A Fellow
the Other Day:
"I'd rather pay six cents for
a KING OSCAR any day
than take half a dozen of
these nickel cigars as a gift.
I can't get any satisfaction
out of them."
The reason is plain. He
knows quality and he
wants King Oscar Quality.

An unusual occurrence waa report
ed regarding' the recent
University football game, at Oberlln.
At the end of the thtrd period the
ball was found to be on the 50-yard
line and equidistant from the side
lines. Officials did not need to move
the ball when starting the fourth
period and all the teams needed to do
was to shift. Referee Weygandt, of
Wooster, and Umpire Jones, of Ohio
State, who were officiating at the
game, said they never saw such a
thing beforg.
Only four players on this year's
Tech team will pass out, Lloyd,
Frock, Esslg and Brough. With Eb
ner will be Beck, Wllsbach, Bell, Ar
nold, Lauster, Frank and Kohlman,
and besides a bunch of comers on th
substitute list.
While the passing of Central from
the football world is regretted thera
will be some consolation in knowing
that there are some players who
were factors with Central who ma#
be found on Tech's side next year.
