lookout for good umpires, as sev- i
eral vacancies haVe occurred on the j
staff, and candidates should write j
to A. H. Fritz, secretary of the Hill

S. Seventeenth street. Another mat- I
ter which is taking the attention of i
the officers and managers is that j
of finance. Since the business of the j

tribution, friends of the organiza-1
tion who desire to contribute should j
address the secretary.

Jack Ozar Throws His
Opponent in Short Order!
Lebanon. Pa.. April 12.—For the'
second consecutive time, Jack Ozar.'
of this city, defeated Joe Turner, of
Washington, winning two straight
rails after Turner had compelled
Ozar to concede the first fall in 1
minute and 5 seconds. Turner swept
Ozar off his feet by the intensity of
his attack at the opening of the bout
and securing a double leg lock
quickly won the first fall.
Ozar employed a body scissors 1
with arm and wrist lock for the sec
ond fall in 23 mi-nutes, and won the
third fall in 31 1-4 minutes with
double arm lock.
The bout was staged in Fisher
Academy of Music as a Red Cross
benefit, and was advertised to be for
the middleweight wrestling cham
pionship and belt, but Oear declined
both the title and belt, for the rea
son that he could not get down to
the middleweight limit of 158 1
pounds, having entered the light
heavyweight class by reason of his
weight of 178 pounds. Charles Fish
er, of New York, was the referee.

Veteran Promoter Dies;
Friend of Late John L.
Philadelphia. April 12.—The death
1 is announced of pichard H. Kearney
1 (Dick Carney), well known to old
time sporting men. He was active in
promoting various forms of sport,
! including boxing, horse racing, dog
racing and was also an enthusiastic
baseball fan. He was personally ac
[ quainted with such veteran sporting
I men as John L. Sullivan, Jake Kil
raine, Jim Corbett, Billy McLean,
! Arthur Chambers, John H. Clark,
| Jack Fogarty and others prominent
! a generation ago. He toured Europe
| with John r„. Sullivan and was pres
ent at nearly all his contests. Kear
! ney was a great friend and admirer
of John H. Clark. He helped to train
Clark for his famous ring battle with
Arthur Chambers and furnished part
of the stakes for Clark on that oc
casion. Mr. Kearney was buried this
I morning from his late residence, 724
South Fifteenth street.

CERTIFICATES AS
TENNIS TROPHIES
National Association Disap
proves Plan to Give Lib
erty Bonds, Is Decision
Xe*v York, April 12. —The United
States National Lawn Tennis Asso
ciation has approved the use of cer
tificates as trophies in sanctioned
tournaments this season. With the
restoration of championships, this
fiuestion has been brought up by
clubs which are planning their ten
nis events.
The use of Liberty Bonds, War
Savings Stamps or other negotiable
securities as prizes in tournaments
sanctioned by the national associa
tion has been disapproved.
Julian S. Myrick, vice-president of
the national association, was author
ized at the last meeting of the ex
ecutive committee to prepare a suit
able design for such a certificate.
"Something similar to tho certificates
used last summer in the patriotic
tournaments for the benefit of the
Rod Cross will be enjoyed this year,"
said Mr. Myrick.
"Many players have approved this
idea, saying that they value the cer
tificates more highly than the usual
trophies awarded for winning tourn
aments. The reason is obvious, for
they' typify the unusual circum
stances under which these events
were played, and In years to come
they will hold an increasing interest.
"Clubs are not obliged to give cer
tificates If they prefer to give other
prizes, for the executive committee
decided tha# the matter should be
left in the hands of the local tourna
ment committees. However, in view
of the fact that the use of inexpen
sive certificates will leave that much
more money available for the fund
to be given to the War Department
on Training Camp Activities, it is be
lieved that most clubs and competi
tors will prefer the certificates."

Spcrtmen's Association are planning
a busy' season. The first shoot by
the association will be held on Dec
oration Day. This shoot will take
place on the 'cross-river grounds

preliminaries.
A program for the shoot is being
arranged and will be announced in a

rarging the events members of the |
organization could not say this
mcrning. At any rate, the shoot Is
to be one of the best to be offered
in the sporting line in Harrisburg
this season.
Other Blk Krentx
This Is only the first of mdny
shcots planned by the organization
this summer. This organization has
lost few men since last year on ac
count of the war. as most of the star
shooters are men not of Army age.

shcot and promise some lively con
tests.
Repairs have been made to the
clubhouse and bridge crossing the
creek to the house, it was announced
by officers to-day. During the win
ter the wind tore the roof of the
clubhouse off and it was necessary to
rebuild this part o* the house. This
work was completed a short time
ago. Repairs to the bridge crossing

Ccndition.

HEAVY GUARD
FOR RACE HORSE
Sun Briar's Illness Makes This
Step Necessary Says
Owner
New York, April 12.—Unwilling
to risk a repetition of the Haw
thorn incident when that favorite I
j for the Kentucky derby was slid- j
denly. taken ill a few days before!
the race, Yillis Sharpe Kilmer, own- I
er of Sun Briar, ante-post choice j
j for the blue ribbon classic, has or- '
| dered an extra guard of watchmen to
;be placed around the American i
colt's stall at Churchbill Downs.
Word has been received at Louis
ville that Owner Kilmer and a co- I
terie of his northern New York state
friends have formed a pool of $50,-
000 to wager on Sun Briar to win |
the derby.
Those who know Kilmer best say, |
however, that it is not the possible I
loss of this tremendous amount'
through anything untoward which i
might happen to his colt that has I
moved him to give this extraordi- i
nary order for Sun Briar's well- !
i being. . :
Heavy Played Favorite
As a real sportsman and with' the I
good of the turf at heart, the Haw
thorn matter left a deep impression
on Kilmer's mind. Hawthorn, as is
Sun Briar, was the heavily played i
ante-post favorite for the big race.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
wagered in the future books were!
lost when this rolt. after training!
in exceptionally brilliant form was
suddenly taken ill and was declared j
out of the big event.
That the. attack of illness was
superinduced by poison administered
by an agt>nt of those who stood to
lose fortunes over the victory of the
colt is generally conceded by. all in
siders. but, worse than all. Haw
thorn never fully recovered from the
dastardly attack. It is to avoid any
such harm coming to Sun Briar that
Mr. Kilmer has issued his stringent
orders.
Pittsburgh Is Right on
Question of Big Battle
Pittsburgh, Pa., April 12.—There
is no question about where Pitts
burghers stand on the matter of a
prizefight between Jess Willard and
Fred Fulton. That the proposed bat
tle should be prevented, and Jess and
Fred forced to fight, like other Amer
icans, in the French trenches, is the
consensus of those who have par-1
ticipated so far in the voting contest'
conducted by one of the local news- j
papers.
More than one hundred votes for <
France to every one cast for a ring!
'bout in America is the ratio of the!
vote. No attempt was made to ob- >
tain votes, except on the coupons
printed daily in the papers. Had a
real effort been made simply to pile
up votes, the chances are that the
ratio would have been even more
impressively in favor of forcing Wil
lard and Fulton into tho trenches.
The total of tho vote so far stands:

Charlie Herzog is a prize fusser.
He is np slouch when he starts trou
ble and is generally in a position to
dictate. He has a contract that must
be honored. He knows it, also the
man who made it; one John Mc-
Graw. It might be a good thing to
pay Herzog all th 6 law requires, and
then can him.
The baseball player who insists on
something extra in a way of salary
this year, must have something to
back him up irt his demands. There
is a small army of baseball stars out
of jobs many of whom are not sub
ject to draft. Managers need have
little trouble in getting material.
An eastern sport writer refers to
tho players who are likely to be
found in the new International
League, as men who are not of draft
age, as veterans. Rather cruel
words. However, if tho war keeps
up long enough a baseball star will
have to prevent strong argument to
warrant exemption.
What this city ought to have is a
Municipal Baseball League. Teams
would have to be classified, and the
youngsters given a chance, the same 1
as the older boys. In many of the
larger cities, municipal baseball is a
big attraction each year.
Not until the basohall season is
underway, will Harrisburg's popular
local stars be missed. Uncle Sam
has his big army many boys who
have helped to make town lot base
ball famous in and about Harrisburg
and have been prominent in the
West End, East End A. A., Rose
wood, Belmont, Trainmen, West
Fairview and other teams. New stars
will be developed, but it will take
sometime to do it.
That Red Cross benefit game Sat
urday night at Chestnut street au
ditorium is causing some talk. It
will be the last chance to see Tech
high champions in action. The Ma
roons are a real attraction.

How Jess Willard Has
Escaped Being "Broke"
If Jess Willard had been a ball
player, he might have returned
owning the ball club. Jess is
99 44-100 Scotch and the rest
Semitic, when it comes to fi
nances.
Jess was "broke" April 4, 1015.
He won one liglit. and then—
He was worth SIOO,OOO April *l,
11. „ .
He won another light, and
Uien— .
lie was rated at $2.">0,000 April
4, 1017.
He fouglit no more, but—
lie was quoted at $3.10,000 to
$500,000 March 22, 1018.
In other words, he made a for
tune out of his profession by
practicing an eutirely different
one. Willard's fortune may be
said to be due to thirty-six rounds
of fighting.

tha,t tho demand would exceed the

tickets to sporting events, it general

reason Hempstead views the' future
of baseball with considerable op

overwhelmed by fans who enjoy
seeing ball games for nothing, pro

Skill Is the One Big
Factor in Trapshooting
Obviously, the most important
part of a trapshooter'a equipment is
a shotgun, and in this there is a
wide range of choice, both as to tha
type of arm and the cost.
Shotguns are divided into th'reei
principal classes: Single-barrel, dou-<
ble-barrel, and the magazine or"
pump gun. Prices range from
twelve to iifteen hundred dollars.
Various other articles are used by
shooters as a matter of necessity or
vanity.
Your fully accoutered shooter
faces the traps with as elaborate ail
outfit as is worn by the star of tha
diamond or the knight of the grid
iron.
He wears a shooting jacket and
girdles himself with a belt and shell
pouch; his gun is fitted with a hand
protector and a recoil pad; special
glasses of giant size protect his eyes
from the sun's glare and ear pro
tectors dull the retort of the ex
ploding shell.
Yet the man who comes to the
shooting grounds cap-a-pie is fre
quently vanquished by a rough-and
ready duck-shooter, clad in home
spun and sans everything except a
hunt-scarred gun of uncertain vin
tage.
Complete equipment is desirable,
but, after all, it is simple ability to
get what is shot at that makes tha
successful trapshooter.
