"Snowball" Winters Now Wants Action $ f* I "SNOWBALL" WINTERS Oh. you "Snowball" Winters; how do you like this weather down at camp? Yes, the star righthander of the West End A. C., who used to have 'em all guessing, has returned to camp from his furlough, and ail he wants now is a hurry ordew to go over and Are some ln-shoot bombs at the Huns threatening Paris. "Snowball" has not given up his skill, holding his own with the regi .mental twirling staff Just as he did in the West End battles In Harrls burg. ,^Trap,GUN Hark! The Red Gods call! Solons have decreed and general fishing ethics declare the bass and salmon fishing season open on June 15. You are at liberty to capture with hook and line those scaled beauties in number and size to the legal limit. Dame Nature has ' enveloped herself in a toga of verdant green and is smilingly beckbning you into the se clusion of her enchanted realm. The cool, inviting woods where trees are in full foliage and the velvet carpet of grass is a relief from city walks of cement. Flowers are waving a weleome to visiting guests. Why not answer the Red Gods' i call? Why not east a Coachman into ! the likely spots, along the swift- J rushing brook or troll the lakes for ! the hard-fighting muskie? A dry fly I might be floated into the danger | zone, where a speckled beauty had ; been awaiting the dessert course. A gaudily-painted lure or plug be j trolled where a lurking bass would : furiously assail, either impelled by j hunger or belligerent instincts. | As a still fisherman, with live bait | and an assortment of poles with ; floats adjusted to different depths of water, you might be especially suc cessful. Last, but not least, it might be the fisherman in whom I take an especial interest—he who always ap peals to me because he carries me back into my boyhood days when I also played Just a little hookey that I might be one of the first to locate the liKely logs and treetops which extended from the bank out Into the water. When the Red Gods Call When the Red Gods call, that In ternal fishing itching. scratched only by answering the call. Is not a respector of person. That impelling mental desire to go afield is conta gious. No person with real, genuine red blood in his veins is immune from the influence. The list Includes the highbrow or kid-gloved fisher man who derives pleasure only from casting and manipulating with float ing tactics his dry-fly propaganda; the knock-about or get-the-meat fisherman, with his painted lure or plugs, delighting in his long casts and rapid reeling. (Oh, you gang hook fishermen, why were you placed upon this earth as a thorn in the side of the fly caster?) And there is the roughneck or send-for-his-trunk fisherman, with his legal limit and varied assort ment of cane poles, cotton lines dec orated with a gaudily-painted float, using live minnows for bait and set ting his poles along the bank await ing the time when he will expedi tiously land his fish out on the bank or up in a tree. By his side Is a | basket freighted with cool ones, I which serve to make long waits be tween bites pass more rapidly. He is the fisherman who is out every day, upon whom the neighbors de pend for the Friday fish dinner. The Barefoot Boy And I must not overlook my friend, the barefooted boy, who cuts, peels, dries and straightens his poles, cut from the pussywillow. A 5-cent cotton line and a limerick hook, a few bullets are pounded on for sink ers, a jug cork is split, fastened on the line and answers for a float. He has Jocated a damp spot on the north side of the barn, where he digs and places them in an old can half filled with dirt enough worms to supply the village. Those nice, fat, pink, juicy, energetic angleworms. As he turns the last spadeful of dirt and tosses the last worm into the can, he flushes with that grand and glorious feeling of contentment and satisfac tion. He feels an affection for those squirming beauties, which need only to be anointed with a copious allow ance of saliva to make them irresist ible bait for the speckled eunflsh. All are different types of Ikey Walton's disciples, with little respect for each other's methods of fishing, yet they are all stung with the same fishing microbe and are awaiting .the opening day of the season, for whicn date they have been preparing for weeks. All are freighted to the guards with anticipation, each feel ing especial confidence in his ability and methods of fishing. Finh Are Moody Fish are always moody and cap tious. Will they on the opening day rise to the fly, rush the plug, display their cannibalistic proclivities on live bait or will they be attracted by the succulent worm offered by the small boy, nosing his bait for an instant to gently grab and quietly swim away, pulling the float under water, to be Anally called to at< account ing by ye lad setting his hook in either bass, turtle or sunflsh? The fight ib on then, usually of brief duration, as the playing it> usually done by the fish af-.cr h> has been landed in the treetop or sand.

Marshall) Question: Have the Colt Firearms Co. ever manufactured an automatic pistol which would empty the magazine by continuous firing when the trigger is pulled once and held back; or must the trigger be pulled separately for each shot to be flrel in every auto matic made by the Colt Co.? Cadet E. E. C. Champaign, 111., U. S. S. M. A. Answer: No automatic or autoloading pistol, rifle or shotgun (except the new shoulder machine gun rifle) will fire more than one shot unless the trig ger is released. If the magazine could be emptied by the holding back of the trigger, the operator would have no control and most of the shots would be in the same bullet hole, as the action is so rapid. Auto loading guns, pistols, rifles or shot guns are always under the direct control of the operator. The trigger must be released and the gun redi rected after each and every shot. The safety or secondary sear might be removed or rounded off and pro duce the continuous flrlng, the arm wculd be of no value for any pur pose in that condition. As they pass the factory tests, the trigger must me released before a second shot is fired. Question: Have the long-run trophies of the powder companies been cut off or do they allow for what was made last year? John M. Clark. Davenport, lowa. Answer: They will permit shooters to com plete their trophy runs started last year, which must be finished in 1918, but will not allow the starting of, new trophy runs. The Interstate Trapshooters' Association has taken over the long run trophy plan and now bases it on points scheduled as follows: Runs of fifty to ninety nine, one point; 100 to 199, three points; 200 or over, five points. A gold watch fob for the first run of fifty targets made. When ten points are made a gold bar for the fob Is given. When twenty points are an nexed an additional bar is given. A gold watch is presented by the asso ciation when the goal of twenty-five points is attained. DAYS OF THE DEER SLAYER PLANNED FOR PENNA. HUNTERS State officials here, and particu larly they of the Game Commission, are profoundly concerned In the effect that this war will have on spords in general and particularly I on the sports that include handling ' a gun. Even at this early date it is taken for granted that the whole country will see a revival in use of the rifle to encourage marksman ship and wholesome, robust relaxa tion. Dr. Joseph Kalbfus, secretary of the Game Commission, has set out to increase the supply of ani mals and birds. Regarding this he said to-day: To secure an Increase in game, we believie that the future of many kinds of game in Pennsylvania or any other state depends upon the enactment and strict enforcement of drastic laws, because we are in touch with existing conditions, and know that the need for immediate energetic action if our game birds are to be perpetuated, much less In creased. "We realize the many and varied benefits that come through hunting, and are doing our best to advance; the interest of sportsmen we repre sent. We hold that hunting is a national necessity, not simply recre ation or a waste of time. We be lieve that the presence of game in any state according to its quality and variety is an asset greatly to be prized. ' Hunter a Good Citizen The presence of game Is an incen tive to outdoor exercises that means better health, and, therefore, better citizenship for many. The man who hunts acquires a knowledge of the territory covered, of the flora, of the fauna, of the Waters, of the minerals, of the general topography and of the people, that can be ac quired to the same extent in no other way. We further believe that the abil ity of the hunter to traverse the woods, the r fields, or the waters either by day or by night, to camp and to shoot straight, make him with limited discipline and drill the What They Did Yesterday; Where They Play Today YESTERDAY'S RESULTS American League St. Louis, 3; Detroit, 2, (called in eighth).

It's the way we shoot not the way we shout, that counts." We have a wbi-thc-war mis sion, and a most Important one to make America a nation of shooters. Every reader can help —should help. equal of any regular on the face of the earth! Furthermore! not only does the quantity of gaipe taken constitute a very considerable portion of the meat supply in various homes, but the value of the lifework of birds protected continuously Is an aid to the farmer and the fruit grower that makes the profitable growing of his crops possible. Sportsmen Pay the Bills In Pennsylvania every cent used for the protection of game and wild oirds. for the payment of bounties, for the purchase and releasing of game for propagating purposes, for the creation of game sanctuaries, for the feeding of the wintertime, as well as for all other needs of the Game Commission, comes from sportsmen through the resident hunter's license. Even the farmer, who derives tlie most benefit from the work of birds, does not contribute one cent to their benefit unless he goes hunting on lands other than the lands he re sides upon and cultivates or lands adjacent, for our law permits a farmer and his family to hunt on these lands without a license. We know what sportsmen are doing, and in turn we are striving to do all in our power to benefit these men through the increase of Kama to be killed. Just how we can best secure that increase is tho question I AROUND THE BASES | , The Rescue Hose Company baseball club of Midilletown, has organized for the season and would like to arrange games with any strong amateur team.

"You may be assured that I shall treasure this, and am more than grateful that I had the privilege of participating in a small way in the service commemorating the hundred gears' founding of the home of Gov "ernor Snyder.

S. ~ U 11 EDDIE PLANK INTHE BOX Big Crowds Travel to Cottage Hill to See Famous Southpaw "EDDIE" PUkHK. v "Eddie Plank will positively pitch to-day," was the word from Man ager George Cookill, which brought an extra thousand fans to the beau tiful Cottage Hill ball park at Steel ton to-day when the Bethlehem League stage another big Bhow twlxt Steelton and Fore River. The latter is in Massachusetts and it makes ships by the thousands so that the ball club affords an expensive ag gregation of stars among which was noted to-day Clyde Engle, formerly with the New York Americans. Manager Cockill, after a fierce set to with appendicitis, was able to hobble to the bench and his Intimate friends feared that if he lost an other hardluck, one run, game, it might be fatal to him. Big Chief Lew Ritter, of Brooklyn fame, had | the actual managing of the Steelton team, and Steve Yerkes, erstwhile Red Sox second baseman, was sec ond in command. All week the team rumpled up things on their home grounds. Eddie Plank uncurling his good right arm under the blistering sun until it was predicted that he would deliver something handsome to-day. A 1 Mamaur, another big leaguer, accompanied the Fore River team, but as he worked Thursday the prospects to-day were for Gill in the box. Lew Ritter proved him self a very useful person, juicing up the squad and keeping them at it. To-day, before the call of game, he pointed to "Shorty" Miller and de clared: "That boy is going to be a great ball player, when he has a lit tle more experience." Miller should become a star bunter and with his speed on bases he is bound to land In fast company, not to ' say that Steelton is not some third rail now. While Steelton and Fore River were hooked up to-day, Lebanon was playing at Bethlehem and Wilming ton at Sparrows Point The game was called at 2.80.
