Three long cheers for the Hick-A- Thrift baseball nine, for, after nine attempts, they have landed a victory. The more glory to the victors, since their first conquest was over Rose wood, league leaders. While the team looked very ama teurish on the previous eve, when it was trounced by Reading, 15 to 1, it was a different-looking aggregation on the field last night. "Kid" Strieker was on the mound, with "Birdie" Hinltle behind the bat. The latter player secured his release from the Galahads to play with the bot tom team. "Ike" McCord was at short, with Klerner at third. While the other members of the team played creditably, it was the work of these four stars that made the race just a bit closer. Strieker held the Rosewoods to five scattered hits. Hinkle got four runs, one for each time at bat. McCord drove out four hits and Klerner made one of the longest hits of the year when he walloped a home run to deep center in the second. Another large crowd was on hand to see the hard luck "Hickies" pull themselves together. The winners started off strong in the first inning, when "Bill" Fortna walked three men. A combination of three hits and two errors gave the victors a trio of runs. Klerner add ed another in the next round with a four-ply drive. Hinkle hit to right in the third for three bags and came home when the ball took a bad bound on the relay. llinkie scored again In the fifth and Enney came in on an error and Griffin's torrid single. With two out in the sixth, Hinkle walked iflvl came in on Strieker's two-bagger. When Leader singled the "Kid" came home for the final run. The Rosewoods scored a pair in the second frame, when Bender | walked and stole second. Leader made an error on Hoerner's ground er. Bender going to third. The lat ter scored on McCord's fumble and lloerner raced home on a fielder's choice. In the fifth E. Killinger tripled to center and came home on Klerner's fumble. Lyme scored the final tally when he hit, stole second and came home on Hinkle's misplay. With the same team on the field in future con tests, the "Hicks" can be expected to win quite a conquests over their rivals. Jt was announced that Manager Washburn's resignation had been ac cepted arid that a new manager would be chosen this evening. The score and summary: ROSEWOOD AB. R. H. O. A. E. E.

Fish wardens have had the co-operation of game wardens under recent acts and the result has been that many men have been rounded up, their ar rests by game officers being a pain ful surprise. In almost every in stance the arrests were made for men having trout less than the law allows in their posession and in some instances the number of trout per mitted to be taken was more than doubled by the fishermen. Commissioner Nathan R. Bulller in his letter to wardens informed them that in prosecuting men for having more than twenty-five trout in their possession should make sure that the fish were taken on one day. 11l other words, to be absolutely sure of their ground. In some of the cases leading to arrests men had over fifty fish. In Clearfield county some prominent men who got caught with short fish ahrt too many fish paid over S7OO in fines. It was one of the most bare-faced violations of the law by men who should know better that has come to light. In so:ne eastern counties men have beeni arrested with fish so palpably short of the length allowed that it was evi dent that they wanted a basketful. Some little trouble has been given by foreigners who have been fishing without any regard for law or what they catch and several arrests for dynamiting of streams have taken plaoe. Stiff penalties have followed these convictions. Game wardens havo been getting after foreigners for having firearms and dogs and probably 600 arrests for such of fenses have been reported since Jan uary 1, white over 1.100 firearms of various kinds, makes, ages and vieiousness been confiscated. The general reports on the trout fishing have been good. Conditions have been favorable for late fishing and the roundup will be excellent The prospects are also excellent for the bass season, -vj'hich starts with Julv, and for which a lavish distri bution has been made.

HAHJRISBURG TELEGRAPH! STEELTON PLAYS AT BETHLEHEM Sy Seymour and Jack Knight Now in League; Two Umpires Hereafter Steelton meets Bethlehem to-day over there and It should be a hot battle, for the Cockill huzzars were spotted by this team in the opening extra-inning bicker for which they now seek revenge. Tt is likely that A 1 Schact or Herb Kutz will do the flinging for Bethlehem, and a new face may be seen in their line-up in the person of Sy Seymour, one of the most famous of veterans to get into the Steel League. Sy was with Cin cinnati lor years, once a good pitch er. but with the Giants he became a celebrated outfielder and hitter. He is a hard-to-handle-man and throws with his left wing. For the past two years he has been star slugger in thei Interborough League of New York. On the Steelton side Jack Knight may be seen to-day for he Joined the club this week and accompanied it to Bethlehem. Jack, the schoolboy phenom, has recently been with the American Association and the wild shriek to-day of President Thomas J. Hickey, of that body, is supposed to have been the cause of KnifOit's leav ing. Hickey promises to take action that will prevent all players under contract from joining the Bethlehem League, but a fat lot of steel people care for this. Knight made his de but with Connie Mack and played second and first for the Yankees. The executive committee ot the Steel League had a meeting this week at Bethlehem. H. E. Lewis was chairnjan and J. E. Green, secre tary. The teams v'ere represented by Edward Cullahney, of Lebanon; Harry Bent of Steelton: W. H. White of Fore River; W. G. Cole, of Spar ro\V Point; John Collyer, of Harlan, and D. M. Petty, of Bethlehem. Two protests were registered against the Harlan team, one by Leb anon who claimed that Dumont and Gharrlty, the (former Washington battery, were played in a game against them before either was eli gible, in accordance with the fifteen days' residence rule, and the other doubting the eligibility of Joe Jack son, playing in the game with Spar rows Point last Saturday. The club managers voted to throw out the Lebanon-Harlan game, but allowed the Wilmington-Sparrows Point game to stand. It was explained that Jackson had been employed at the plant longer than is required by the ruling, but instead of sending his name into the league in writing it was verbally list ed. Relative to umpiring the games it was pointed out that the brand of bail is too fast for one man and sev eral suggestions that two umpires be used in all the games hereafter were favorably met. The playing has tak en a stand with major league ball and it was readily acknowledged that one umpire is not sufficient to watch all the plays. This was evidenced on Saturday when Eddie Fitzgerald drove a hall into safe territory in right field but was called a foul. It was voted that in all games here after two umpires be used. Post Office Pitcher Thinks He Is Aviator As predicted in the Telegraph, the Aviators developed some classy bomb ing in,their game with the Post Office crowd last evening at the Island, and when the censor got through a report stated that the score stood 6-1, with much havoc done by the flyers at bat. Pitcher Kepford, of Post Office forces, was steady as a mailcarrier with a pack of registered letters until he got the aviation hunch and went up in the air. doing a volplane, while the real cloud busters counted six bingles. Red Cross maids took advantage of the general mirth and festivity to plead the cause, and a fine purse was col lected. No Horse Racing This Year at Cumberland Co. Fair Nix on horseracing at this year's Cumberland county fair. The Agri cultural Association yesterday decided that the mohey heretofore spent in purses for the horses will be used toward making the prizes for the agricultural entries more attractive and valuable. It is planned by this means to promote the development of war gardens and home gardening in the county and thus aid the Govern ment in greater production of pro ducts. After Striking Out 25 Men, Army Fans Discover Rube Benton Columbia, S. C.. June 7.—A big athletic-looking soldier waa In vited to participate in a com pany baseball game at Camp Jackson yesterday "because he looked like he could pitch." The invitation was accepted, and the recruit went into the box, struck out twenty-five batters, allowed only one hit and otherwise dis tinguished himself by hitting a home run in the second inning. After the game the young man admitted that he was Rube Ben ton, New York National League pitcher. Bqnton had come to Camp Jackson last week In an Increment of drafted forces from North Carolina, but had not made his identity known to his com rades until after the ball game. There are no submarines in the Mississippi! 'The grand old river, masterpiece of nature and awe in spiring beauty! The main commer cial artery, the life, blood and regu lator of traffic schedules in America. How many have traveled on this river, enjoying the many marvels the Creator has placed In juxta position to your homes? Why should foreign countries be considered for travel, pleasure or sight seeing be fore one has seen America, with its Yellowstone Park, the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky, the Grand Can yon, of Arizona, the Columbia river and highway, Crater lake (6177 feet above sea level) of Oregon, Catalina Island, the many National Parks and the grand old Mississippi, where you are immune from U-boat dan gers, collisions, floating icebergs or uncharted seas. The ocean with Its clamorous waves commands respect, awe and fear, but placid, tranquil Mississippi carries you into its in ner life, ever cementing a fast, close friendship and affection. The Jesuit Fathers, French voyagers, trappers and Indian traders traversed this river. This stream was an artery of exploration, conversion, prospecting j and trading with the noble red men. Channels then located by soundings, reading of water and guess work are now charted by the government and marked by signal lights or shore boards. Wing dams extending out from either shore have added depth to the water. Never out of sight of land, sea sickness or ship wreck are unknown. Through solid rock with palisades hundreds of feet high on both sides, this river has cut a channel almost to sea level. The battlements of stone are relieved by productive and peaceful valleys. The shore lines in the main are virgin in their scenic grandeur, remaining as they were first seen by those Jesuit Fathers when they threaded the channels with canoe or batteaux. The Romantic Mississippi The upper Mississippi is a sta tionery film 729 miles in length from St. Louis to St. Paul. My steamboat was a stage moving at the correct speed to give the scenic marvels the best effect. Flat bottomed hull in sured an even keel, no rolling or tossing. Large and imposing, those boats are constructed to please the eye and are artistic from every angle. The smoke stack crests are wreathed with metal, an insignia of the line is suspended between the stacks, — an anchor, key or eagle. Buck horns grace the pilot house, while around the main cabin and Texas, Jig saw work is in evidence and known as "Ginger-bread." The name of the boat, .with some historic painting graces the wheel houses. The swing ing stage operated by a donkey en gine is pointed at an angle ahead of the bow of the boat. The boat setting upon the water afloat or tied to the bank painted a snow white, with a touch of gold to relieve and trim, reminds one of the graceful swan. Upon entering the cabin an enchanted palace confronts you. State rooms a la Pullman and all above the water line are built along the sides of the boat. The chef has been raised in a. steamboat cook house, where he is master. He spe cializes on steak, steamboat gravy, hot biscuit and "jamboli." "Roll That Cotton"' When the whistle sounds for a landing, this is a signal for a for ward rush of the passengers. The mate now gives his orders with a Whistle, eliminating much of the artistic profanity of the good old ' ' LET'S ALL LIVE IN RIVER-VIEW COME TO RIVER-VIEW SUNDAY INSPECT THE PROPERTY / Sale Friday and Saturday, June 14 and 15 I i; "t' For Information / Ml 11390 —CALL— Dial 3573 steamboat da'ys. As the roustabouts and deck hands respond they chant those weird darkey melodies which accelerates the work. The landing of a steamboat calls tlje cosmopoli tan crowd to the river. Dogs ac company their masters, and unex pected whistle from the boat will elicit a howl and the dog will tuck his tail and break for home. The skiff owner will rush to the water's edge, holding his boat until the ground swell has subsided. The | captain through a signal communi cation with the pilot, has eased her l in and away from the bank, "with- I out scratching the varnish." The porter, who dashed ashore for trunks or hand baggage, has re turned and the boat is again in mid stream slowly and peacefully wend ing her way to the next port. Darkies on the lower deck are conversing in a language of their own. "Lil Joe Don't Fail Me," "Seven Come Eleven," "Go Get a Dress for Phoebe," come floating up to the passengers above. A crap game is on. The "River Rats" We passed the palatial excursion steamer, "J. W. Hill." a night dream (a la Aladin, ablaze with electric 1 lights, an apparition of kaleidoscopic, scintillating colors from bow to stern. A steam caliope bites off a popular air, the crowd choers, boats whistle signals as we pass in the night. Familiar land marks to me I were the homes of fishermen and I "river rats," house boats or floating 1 cabins, homes of the nomadic were tied to the shores, to be cast oft and floated to any point down the river offering better fishing or hunting grounds. "Floaters" in every sense of the word. They love the shores, valleys, hills and rocks as originally constructed and colored by nature. A line enst in their back yard lands 1 a cat fish.- A shot fired from the I front door, is productive of a duck j dinner. To-morrow with them only means another day. From the deck jof a Mississippi river steamboat, I I studied the shores and noted condi- I tions which accounted for the pass -1 ing of migratory birds in this valley. "O, For Duck Shooting Days'' in my boyhood days I resided at Keithsburg, 111., on the Mississippi. At that time millions of ducks in their migratory flight followed this river, making hoyous and adjacent lakes their mecca. From my van tage point on the steamer I could see on the opposite side of the dikes or levies, fields of corn and waving grain, where formerly I had punted a boat and shot ducks galore. Levies prevented overflow and my duck territory has been drained and re claimed. Many duck# still aggre gated above the bridge or rested upon the sandbars. As they arose and flew ahead of the boat, pas sengers remarked "ducks were in creasing very rapidly." This may be true in some few localities, where sanctuaries are established and duck dom catered to by clubs. When a duck hunter of thirty-five years since, thinks back over the condi tions and environments which sur rounded the vast number of ducks we then had in every slough or available pond. Now view the en croachment of civilization and re claiming of all swamp lands, it ots casions a big smile. At Burlington, la., those vast swamps opposite have been levied; Keithsburg and Oquawka duck territory has been re claimed. The Mercdosia Bottoms, spillway between the Mississippi and Rock rivers are levied and every acre tilled. Coopers lake, recently formed by the back water occa sioned by the building of the Keo kuk power dam across the father of waters at Keokuk, is the only avail able duck marshes on the Upper Mississippi. Encroachment of civi lization and reclaiming of swamp lands has for all time sounded the death knell for Mississippi river duck shooting. JUNE 8, 1918.
