IN TRAPSHOOT
Heer, of Oklahoma, Proves
Himself Rest Matchshot
in the World
Seattle, Wash., June 29. W. 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.
The referee for the match here
was Chan Powers, of Decatur, 111.,

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.

Crowder Orders an

Provost Marshal General Crowder

the assistance of the state govern
ment in preventing men who are In
the United States service from being
given intoxicants. According to re
ports received, men who had been
inducted into the service at Clarion
secured liquor and the matter is re
garded as so serious, that Major W.
G. Murdock has started an inquiry.
Some time ago Major Murdock call

checking sale and furnishing liquor

ties It was necessary to put men on

One of the features on the Inde

Purcell, who hails from the Marble

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.

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.
