GETTYSBURG TANKS TO TREAT WEST END ROUGH; HARRISBURG RIFLEMEN IN BIG MATCH STEELTON FACES A BUSY WEEK Two Games With the League Leaders, One With Bethle hem; Fore River Loses 1 , FIRST BASEMAN KAUFMAN The three Steel League Ramos on Saturday drew tremendous crowds and such Is the gathering of talent to the Schwab plants that quite as much general interest was manifest ed in the outcome of these battles as those of the big leagues. Steelton trimmed Fore River 6-2, with Eddie Plank in the box all the way, and that too, though his opponent was "Dutch" Leonard, former Red Sox star. Plank has been conscientiously working out every day at Cottage Hill and his careful training shows now in his success. Men on bases do not worry him, that's when he pitches his cleverest. Manager Coeklll again shifted his line-up, following his policy of get ting a squad that can hit, run bases and show fast team work. He used young A 1 Kaufman, who recently came from the South, at first base, his regular position, and in his first game with Steelton, Kaufman mado good by rapping out a clean single, which scored the always industrious Hunter who now leads the batting order. This Hunter is playing the finest ball of a long career. A quiet man, he delivers the goods, opening the run fest on Saturday with a hard wallop for two bases. This is the kind of a punch to have in a com pany which is constantly getting faster. Cockill's team looked good all ovfcr in this game. The box score shows how general was the hitting. Steelton has a great chance to crawl up further in the standing by taking two from Wilmington on July 4. If this should happen the Bethlehem plant will have to shut up shop for a week. "Sockless Joe" Jackson will be one of the great at tractions in this duel. He pulled a bone in Saturday's game and was partly responsible for losing to Spar rows Point. At Lebanon, Bill Ritter sans his swan song in the league by beating "Big Jeff" Terseau, of Bethlehem. The local leaguers not only have two games on the Fourth with Wil mington, but immediately following, on July 6, they encounter the swift Bethlehem bunch. Saturday's score: FORE RIVER R. H. O. A. E.

(~THOS€ ARE ) ( upv I \ _ V SPuRS / / ,• ) ( "To MAKe \ V \fIHNTS / / S*TiCK \ Attention Americans! Politically we scrap. When a foreign foe as sails us we are a unit and put up a solid front for the protection of our beloved country and flag against a common enemy. We stand by Uncle Sam and endorse our president, until the crack of doom, unless victory perches upon our banner prior to that time. We are into a real war, where no favors are shown, having resolved itself into the "survival of the fittest." la America a nation of skilled marksmen, emphatically yes, not only marksmen, but fight at the drop of the hat soldiers. The pioneer ele ment of our country both male and female, were conversant with the use anil handling of firearms, in the pursuit of game and securing of meat, which meant family suste nance. in every home in the out side districts of America, there is now standing in the corner a gun, which was in former days the family meal tickdt. It may be an old Ken tucky rifle with hammered barrel and a stock extending the full length of the barrel. A cow horn powder receptacle, scraped to a paper thick ness and bent to conform to ■ the body. Bullets run by hand, the patching having done duty as the tail of a shirt. A carefully adjusted flint fitted above the flash pan, with no guarantee that an explosion would occur when desired or the trigger pulled. The unwritten code of just enough powder to cover the bullet was the accepted load. The rifle was the family pride and di vided honors with the spinning wheel as a utility factor, both were family necessities. In those days all Americans were accredited marksmen, every man a made-to order soldier ready to report and fight because he was able to ac curately shoot, a requisite then or now. Pioneers in quest of same were continuously on the hike, their muscles became hardened, lungs taught to pump up the proper amount of ozone to fill his carbura tor, speeding up his accelerator with out evidence of exhaustion. They were ever trained soldiers. In of fices and homes of the present gen ration a very different condition has prevailed. In the mad hustle, hustle and desire to acquire and £pend money, the enjoyment of life lathe open has been disregarded. Many phases of life in the present age has been overlooked, which necessity and environments in the past made compulsory. The meal ticket of to day is not the gun or rod. This has been supplanted by the ticker tape, or the formulating of corners on life's commodities. Turning of the spin ning wheel, has relegated Into the winding of the victrola. Cross coun try hikes in search of game are now made in automobiles. The accurate and effective placing of a ball is not done through sights, the putter has supplanted them in locating the ball on the green. The shooting spirit of 1776 has been a neglected art, eliminated by the passing of our pioneer relatives. Wake up, Ameri can. and again become a nation of skilled marksmen. This applies to both men and women and should be started at once, while a sufficient number of the "old guard" remalh to teach and direct the rising genera tion along the proper lines. Citi zens, regardless of sex, should be educated in the use and handling of firearms. Boy scouts, merchants, bankers, farmers, laborers, clerks, professional, military and femininity, every person who loves their coun- | try and iiag, their liberty and honor, should immediately learn how to shoot, regardless of sex, creed or color. To be able to accurately shoot increases your efficiency as an Amer ican citizen at least 100 per cent. Every municipality, school and clui), should immediately organize a Home Defense Keserve, with Gun Club Auxiliary. At least one after noon each week should be designated Patriotic Day, at which time the ranges should be open for gratuitous instruction. The Home Defense guard should be taught military tac tics and shooting accuracy. The Boy Scouts should be given a gun and taught to correctly and safely handle firearms, that they might not be a menace to themselves and com rades later in life. Any boy who is of requisite age to qualify as a mem ber of the Boy Scouts is old enough to be taught safety first in the hand ling of guns. On Patriotic Day com pulsory gun instruction should be imposed upon the entire populace o£ the city and all taught to salute Old Glory. Those called in the draft or on the eye o£ cantonment duty, should be taught to shoot and handle firearms, thus conserving valuable time, before they are mem bers of Uncle Sam's family in camp. Many of the wives, mothers and children of those who have gone in defense of the flag, will be left without a male defender, they will be the head of the house and in de fense of the home. They should be taught to shoot. Men who remain at home are the acknowledged home guard and have a responsible duty imposed upon them. To them is entrusted the care of the wives, mothers, sisters and children, in a general manner, representing the boys "over there." FINEI> FOR HOARDING SUGAR Newport, Pa., July I.—For hoard ing sugar, Clyde A. Collier and Har per D. Collier, of Marysvilie, were each fined $5 by Archdeacon William Dorwart, Perry county food admin istrator. The sugar was sold and the amount received, together with the fines, was turned over to the Marys vilie Red Cross Auxiliary. AIR LINE URGED OVER ATLANTIC TO FINISH WAR Briton Asserts He Can Build Ten Thousand Planes by April 1 New York, July I.—The claim that Handley Page, the British air plane constructor, could turn out 10,000 "super dreadnaughts" in the United Btatea by April 1, 1919, was made in a formal statement by W. H. Workman, special representative in this country of Handley Page, Limited. These planes, Mr. Workman de clared, could be landed in France, under their own power, with enough i guns, bombs and aviators "to defeat i the Germans within thirty to sixty l days, if we start now. After announcing that he had ac quainted the War Department and the aircraft board with this pro position, Mr. Workman said he be lieved none of the 10,000 planes would be lost in transatlantic flights, and that with a British and an American aviator e would be will ing to make the flrit flight, proceed ing from New founaiand to France, via the Azores and Portugal. Asserting that he considers this route the best, he explained that a 7,000-foot volcano in the Azores would serve as one guide and sug gested that "at least ten destroyers In a state of absolesence could be stretched out to act as lightships" so that "pilots of the airplanes would never be out of slglt of a de stroyer, together with tkir com passes and wireless." "Once this is started," he said, "there will be a continuous thain of airplanes connecting the United States with the continent of Eu ropue, from early morning until late at night, one machine leaving every ten minutes every day." Mr. Workman said Mr. Page could bring here a staff of expert design ers and turn out the machines in factories In Cleveland, Buffalo, De troit and Grand Rapids, deliveries to start December 1, 1918. Ho added that in three days thest planes could be flown from the Mid dle West to France, saving many tons of shipping. These 10,000 airplanes, -he declar ed, could drop 38,000 tons of explo sives on and behind the German lines each night, or the equivalent of 38,000 shells from "the biggest guns yet constructed." HARRIBBURG TELEGRAPH TANKERS WILL TREAT'EM ROUGH West End Enlarges Its Park to Take Care of Crowd at Thursday's Battle The headquarters baseball club from Camp Colt, Gettysburg, with about 300 rooters, will Journey to Harrisburg on Independence Day to play the West End team on their field. This game is to be played in conjunction with the other enter tainments provided for that day and the proceeds are to go to the tankers' mess fund. Including a number of former Ne wark International League stars, the tankers have lived up to their well known name of "treat 'em rough" and the West End management is trying to arrange for a large seat ing capacity to accommodate the big crowd that will want to see these celebrated huskies in action. For this game West End will have all its regular lineup with Merle Gerdes, just returned from the Al toona League, available to fill any position in the infield. The game will not start until 3.30 o'clock on account of the big parade which is expected to be over by that time. The camp team will make the jour ney by truck and hope to arrive at an early hour. No Game on Hill on 4th; Reading-Hickies Today ALLISON HILL LEAGUE STANDING OF THE CLUBS W. L. Pet. Reading 10 5 .667 Galahad 7 6 .538 Rosewood 7 6 .538 Hick-A-Thrift * 11 -267 Schedule For the Week Monday Hick-A-Thrift vs. Reading. Tuesday—Rosewood vs. Gala had. Wednesday Rosewood vs. Hick-A-Thrift. Thursday—No game (holiday). Friday—Galahad vs. Reading. Because of the fact that most of the players in the Allison Hill League will participate in various events on the Fourth of July, there will be no contest at Seventeenth and Chestnut streets on that evening. The regular game between Galahad and Reading will be played Friday night. • Bill" Hoerner is now playing the opttield for the Hick-A-Thrift team. He batted over .400 for Rosewood up until two weeks ago. Because of leaving the city Rosewood filled his place with another player. In the meantime "Bill" returned for the summer and was signed by the "Hickle" management. With the season well underway, being over half played, three teams are still in the running for the pen nant. WhUe the "Hickies" have one of the best teams in the league, they are at a disadvantage because of having dropped the first eight games. The team mnaged by Dan Griffin is one of the strongest outfits in the circuit, and one always feared. Galahad seems to have lost its equilibrium since "Bill" Reiff left the team to enter the service. While the team is still in the running for first place, the aggregation has not held together as well since "Big Bill" left. Whenever Reading plays, Captain McCurdy entertains the fans after the contest with quotations from Shakespeare. Mack has quite a memory for poetry. Fans are of the opinion that there is better talent in the league than ever before. The best amateurs in the city are signed in the league. Four members of the Swartz clan play with the Reading nine. They are brothers and cousins. The Euker brothers are also with Reading. Rosewood has Its KUlingers. Earl and "Os" W<z are another pair of brothers, but the former plays with Reading and the latter with Rose wood. Earl Waltz will likely twirl to night against Hick-A-Thrift, while the latter team will be represented by either Eveler or Alcorn. Human Fish Insures His feet For $50,000 According to Owen Herrick, of Honolulu, Duke Kahanamoku, prior to leaving Honolulu, had his feet insured for $50,000 with Lloyds. Wil'tie Hoppe and Ignatz Paderewskl had their hands in sured, but the Duke went to ex tremes and got his "pedals" in sured. Duke learned to ue his feet to advantage by watching the pro pellers of the steamers as they churned the water in the harbor at Honolulu. His "kick" is not so high as that of other noted swim mers, but the way he uses his feet; says Herrick, he gets every ounce of power out of them when he is racing. Several of the best swim mers in the islands have patteren ei their style after Hawaii's fore n\ost merman. i Rifle Match on Best Ever Staged Here Harrisburg and Keystone Clubs Aim to Turn Out Hundreds of Sharpshooters Who Will Help to Vanquish the Hun The Conodoguinet range of the Harrisburg Rifle Club was the scene last Saturday, June 29, of possibly the moat exciting: rifle match ever held in the vicinity of the city of Harrisburg. During the season of 1917 the Harrisburg Rifle Club trimmed the P. R. R. Keystone Rifle Club three; times in succession, each time -with j a ten-man team shooting from each 1 club. This year the Keystone Club) evened the score by decisively de feating the Harrisburg club on the Conewago range by a team total of sixteen points. Saturday's match was the second of the three interclub matches for the year and was the most hotly con-; tested match in the series, or in the history of either club. At the end of the 300-yard shoot ing the Keystone club led by a scant total of three points, but at the long er range the Harrisburg club came across with a whirlwind finish and put on the most excellent team aver age of 90 8-10 per cent., or a total of 227 out of 250 points at 500 yards, and winning the match by a close total of 11 points.

Gretna and will be as the men say, some match, as both teams are making great pre parations for winning. The finest thing about these matches is the spirit of clean sports manship and good fellowship dis played by the members of the two clubs toward each other in spite of the intense rivalry existing between j the two clubs for the city champion ship. There is considerable talk of tho| teams making up a team to contest; for the city rifle championship of! the state of Pennsylvania. Each of these two clubs are do ing all that they are able to interest the men of the city of Harrisburg and vicinity in the expert use of the. high power military rifle. This city is sending hundreds of, its men each month into the United \ States Army. Practically all of these! men have had practically no instruc-1 tion whatever in the expert use of the high power military rifle, most of them have never fired such a weapon, and yet they are going to fight the most thoroughly equipped, trained and organized army that the world has ever seen. Both of these clubs extend a cor dial invitation to Harrisburg men to visit their rifle ranges, to join rhe clubs, to obtain expert instruction in mlitary rifle shooting. The United States government is granting another free issue of both \ .30 and .22 caliber ammunition to! these clubs for the use of the men of this vicinity. The efficiency of the soldiers of this city will not be measured by the number of them that are in the Army, but by the number of Ger mans thj t they kill. To be of effec tive use in the Army anyone must be able to hit what they shoot at and thare is no better, cheaper, quicker and more absolutely certain way to obtain that ability than un der the Instruction of expert rifle shots on .the ranges of these two [ rifle clubs. Will the men of Har | rlsburg avail themselves of this op portunity? 1 Famous Athletes Drop in Last Hun Drive l.ondon, July I.—Many famous British sportsmen have fallen In the recent severe fighting on the western front, among them "Johnny" Summers, celebrated boxer, well known In this coun try, who lies in a French hospital, seriously wounded. He visited America in 1907 and boxed all the leading lightweights. In 1909 he defeated "Jimmy" Britt in twenty rounds in London, losing a few months later to "Freddy" Welch. Captain R. C. Rice, the British Olympic sprinter, who represented the United Kingdom at Stockholm in 1912, has also been wounded. He won the United Hospital sprint on several occasions in the years 1906 to 1910. ————-——. * Thousands Crowd Streams on Opening of Bass Season Every fishin' hole noted for bass was so crowded early this morning, opening day for the delicious water game, that some of the returned Waltons had to call on first aid. The call must have incited Harris burg's entire quota of bass fishers to judge by the mob gathered at Oys ter's Dam on the Conodoguinet. "It was only 3 a. m. when I reach ed there," related one of the en thusiasts as he flopped back Into town, water soaked and dazed, "but there must have been 150 ahead of me. it is only a small pool and, men Q.live. we were walking all over one another. Ten men got their lines tangled, and when 1 beat it the prospects were for a free-for-all battle. "Bass? Say, if a bass had wan dered into that place he would have been trampled to death in jig-time. There wasn't room for the fishermen, let alone fish. The water was too muddy, anyhow, for good fishing. I counted forty automobiles collected at thia one place, with more com ing." GOLF TROPHY FOR FRANK PAYNE The rich golf trophy offered by Edward A. Herman, president 6f the Harrisburg Country Club, is now the property of Frank Payne, who won Saturday's tournament in a big and clever field of contestants at the club links. Payne carried a handicap of two, his gross score being 78, net score 76. Next to him came Miller' and fc'amuei Todd finished third. JULY 1, 1918. MISS WYNN TALKS OF WAR SERVICE Rotary Club Hears Charming Little Singer Just Home . From War Countries • Bessie Wynn, the charming little songstress who is singing at the Ma jestic Theater this week, addressed the Rotary Club at its noon luncheon in the Y. M. C. A. to-day, telling of her war work in France and Eng land, where she has been for the past three years. Miss Wynn has spent mast of her time singing for countless thousands of weary or wounded soldiers, some times while the big guns were roar ing in the immediate distance and again while bombing German air planes were trying to smash a Brit ish hospital where she was giving an entertainment, and she brings to her fellow Americans a message of hope and good cheer. Having de livered it she will return to her work "over there," where she will remain until the close of the war. Miss Wynn's recital was so dra matic and her message to the women of the country so impressive that the Rotarians invited her to address an other meeting of the club Wednes day at noon, when the wives and friends of the Rotarians will be in vited. The club decided to-day to give $25 toward the Fourth of July cele bration and to march in the pa rade, following an address by ex prcsident Arthur D. Bacon. Arch Dinsmore asked the club to co-op erate in making the annual Y. M. | C. A. boys' camp near Inglenook a success and G. M. Steinmetz, vice president, who was in the chair in the absence of Eli N. Hershey, presi ident, appointed Al. K. Thomas, John S. Musser and J. William Bow man a committee to aid the associa tion in any way possible. John Heathcote reported in favor of the organization of a War Savings Stamp Society in the club and this will be done at the meeting next Monday.
