MONDAY NIGHT'S GAME
Rosewood vs. Galahad.
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

MANY ARRESTED
UNDER TROUT LAW
\ iolations of the Act Govern
ing Catching of Fish Have
Been Numerous Lately
Close to 100 prosecutions of fisher
men for violations of the trout fish
ing law have taken place since the
ice broke up in the streams of Penn
sylvania this year and hundreds of
dollars have been paid in fines. 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.

Advancement of the curfew to 10

by the mayor last night, in order to
give the children of the city more
time in which to enjoy themselves in

the practice of making complaints
against the children playing In front

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

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

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

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

I "river rats," house boats or floating

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.

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.

When the examinations were be

for tuberculosis and brought the
matter to the attention of federal
