H. j Heer, of Guthrie, Okla., defeated l Frank M. Troeh, of Vancouver, ' Wash., in what will go down in the ! annals of trapshootlng as one of I the.greatest matches ever shot. The two stars shot at 500 targets each, and the final result was 473 . breaks for Heer to 470 for Troeh. I men were shooting for a I purse of S4OOO in Liberty bonds, and : side bets estimated to have been j $20,000 in Liberty bonds, j The race took place in connection | with the thirty-fourth annual tour ! nament of the Sportsmen's Associa | tlon of the Northwest, held at 1 Seattle, June 23, 24, 25. I On the first day the men shot at I 100 targets and Troeh enjoyed a j three-bird lead at the finish, the Washingtonian being credited with ; 95 breaks and the Oklahomlan with | 92. The second day's program called i for 200 targets, and Heer broke 187 ! while Troeh got 184. This placed ■ them on an even basis, each having I broken 297 out of 300. On the third and last day Heer •shattered 194 out of 200, while Troeh had to be satisfied with 191. This made Heer the winner by the narrow margin of three bords. Heer has been quite generally nominated as the "best matchshot in the world." He is the 1918 cham pion of Oklahoma, and last year won the official amateur high aver age by breaking .9741, he shot at 2050 targets. Troeh is the 1918 champion of Washington, was the national ama teur champion at single targets in 1916, and last year won the eigh teen yard championship at the Grand American Handicap by breaking 199 out of 200, a remarkable score.

KILLINGER IS WHOLESHOW Responsible For Six of Eight Runs That Rosewood Made Against Reading ALLISON HILL LEAGUE LAST NIGHT'S RESULT Rosewood, 8; Reading, 6. STANDING OF THE CUBS W. L. Pet. Reading 10 5 .667 Galahad 7 6 .538 Rosewood 7 s >538 Hick-A-Thrift .... 4 11 .267 After the Reading Railway team won seven straight games in the Al- I lison Hill League, defeating Rose wood in a thrilling contest Thursday evening, the Rosewood aggregation succeeded in taking the measure of the railroaders by a score of 8 to 5. While the contest was hard fought, the playing was rather loose, In di rect contrast to the ball played by the two clubs on the previous even ing. A coincidence of the game is the fact that each of the teams scored in the odd innings. First Rosewood would score, then Reading would fol low suit, the difference in the final total being that the winners tallied in larger bunches than the losing team. Rosewood won the game in the third and fifth innings, when they scored a trio of runs each time. In the third. Earl Killinger drove in two runs with a clean single over second. The catcher came home on Garverich's single. Killinger alone was responsible for six of the eight Rosewood tallies. He scored three times himself. In the third he drove in two runs and in the fifth Glenn scored when Earl doubled. Loose fielding on the part of Rose wood and timely hitting by "Tim" Euker and. George Swartz were re sponsible for most of the scoring by the railroad team. "Os" Waltz walked three times In four trips to the plate. Geary played a good field ing game, stopping several drives that looked good for hits. Heading was short of pitching material, and George Levan was forced to go to the mound for the second successive evening. He pitched a good game. Leidlg kept the Reading hits scat tered, only three of the batters hit ting safely. The pitcher also rapped out a three-base hit. Last night's game cuts down the Reading lead to two games over Galahad and Rose wood, who are tied for second place. The lineup and summary: READING AB. R. H. O. A. E.

Ritter is going to join the Marines. He came to Lebanon in 1917 and it was mainly through him that Lebanon was able to win the 1917 championship in the Bethlehem j League. To-day he was given a roy- ! al ovation, for Lebanon looks upon j "Big Bill" as a hero. Of draft age, he registered in his home town of McCoysville and by reason of his po sition with the Bethlehem company at its Lebanon plant he was grant ed industrial exemption. However, the call for physically fit young men to fill up the ranks of the nation's fighting forces became too strong for Ritter ai}d he finally elected to get into the bigger game. Simultaneously with Ritter's depar ture, Lebanon announces that It has secured "Bullet Joe" Bush, world ■series phenom, who would, indeed, be a valuable asset. Bush, however, will not be eligible for fifteen days. It is 1 Haid that Bush admitted to a close friend that if the war continues much I longer professional baseball will go! on the shelf and apparently consid ers it r. wise move to get hitched up with some munition plant where he can serve his country by making ammunition In working all year around and, besides, profit financially.

Outfielder Clarence Walker has made four runs over the high left field fence at the American League grounds In Boston. He did the trick twice while a member of the Browns, once when he was with the Red Sox and once this season as a Mackman. Baseball may soon be classed with the war luxuries, for the regulation "oficlal league ball," which was $1.25 for years, then $1.50, may advance shortly. The price of the cheaper balls has not been changed yet. The labor stringency, the difficulty of obtaining horsehide and wool yarns and the increased demand to fill the orders for the soldiers abroad and in the various camps here are given as reasons for the rise in price. The best balls are made of the highest grade materials and they are the first to feel the change in the market.

CONSUMERSGOUGED r SAYS TRADE BOARD [Continued from First Page. ] of the packing Industry. In this connection, it is said: "Five meat packers Armour, Swift, Morris, Wilson and Cudahy— and their subsidiary and affiliated companies have monopolistic con trol of the meat industry, and are looking out for like domination in other products. Their manipulations of the market embrace every device that is useful to them without regard to law. Their reward, expressed in terms of profit, reveals that four of these concerns have pocketed in 1915, 1916 and 1917 $140,000,000. However -delicate a definition is framed for "profiteering" these packers have preyed upon the pub lic unconscionably.. Investigation in the coal mining industry reveals In the opinion •of the commission that despite Govern, ment price fixing large margins of profit have been made. Ranges in the cost of production in a field hav ing the same maximum prices has caused some operators to make small margins of profit and others large margins, the bulk of the production enjoying the large margin. Profits Arc targe In the oil industry large profits are now being made In fuel oil and gasoline, the industry being one where the law of supply and demand still operates. The operation of this law is held to be In part responsible for the heavy profits, but a portion of the blame Is laid to the spreading of false reports regarding supplies. Steel companies made abnormal profits before the Government fixed a price for the product, and it Is shown that some have since made unusual returns. Profits of the Unit ed States Steel Corporation are esti mated at 24.9 per cent. In 1917, as compr*jd with 15.6 per cent. In 191u and 8.2 per cent. In 1915. In virtually eyery one of the other Industries covered by the report, it is shown unusually heavy profits have been made in the last few years Abnormal salaries are also shown to have been paid executive officials. Trade practices contributing in ad dition to profits to higher prices to consumers are noted as failure to ship goods on a rising market or refusal to accept oods on a falling market, commercial bribery and the tendency of manufacturers to main tain a resale price.
