PIERCE AND PLANK WILL PITCH FOR STEELTON ON FOURTH; HILL UMPIRE GETS SHOCK BOXING BRINGS ARMY RANK Knowledge of Fistic Art Means Swift Promotion in Uncle Sam's Military Camps There is no question but that the old Vsystem of award in boxing matches will be permanently chang ed by the new system offered by the Federal Athletic Commission, for the sufficient reason that it Alls a need. Its prime difference from Marquis of Queeusbury rules is that it places a premium on the man who forces the ring batile, takes his chances and used his best efforts to j win, and win decisively. Billy Kocap, sporting editor in Philadelphia and authority on uoxing 1 was the first to introduce the Federal | suggestion practically, for he says j that in arriving at a decision re cently at the Leonard-Brltton light he kept continually in mind the new code of rules. He explains: "Leon ard did the greater part of the lead ing. landed the greater number of clean blows on leads, blocked when blocking counted, and was entitled to the decision. Britten fought a , defensive battle, being the aggres sor only in streaks. He frequently j played evasive and used the ping to keep himself out of harm's way. 1 These tactics were all right before the war. But not now. America is developing an army of tightens. Each j man must learn to tear in and give his opponent no quarter. "All back-steppins, covering up and purely defensive work are dis- j couraged under the army boxing rules, and each contestant is made subject to a penalty for such work. An efficient lighting soldier must not only be trained in the technique of , offense and defense, but must be ' 'charged' with the proper lighting spirit. "It is to be hoped that every critic, every referee and all men who judge boxing contests in America will stand by the government in its effort to develop a fighting army and live up faithfully to the new code." The amazing growth of boxing in the army is said to be due to the fact that officers of the National Army place , high premium on their noncommissioned officers who have developed through their application to boxing which develops qualities fitting a young man to be an aggres sive leader. "Packy" MeFarland, in charge at Fort Zachary Taylor, Lou isville, noticed this immediately, and Dr. Joseph E. Ravcroft. director o< the Athletic Division of the Com mission declares: "There is no doubt that a knowledge of boxing is a big factor in the men's promotion from the ranks; not so much that they know how to box as a sport, but that the fighting spirit and leadership which results from boxing as taught in the army makes the promotion a possibility. Out of the thirty-nine privates and corporals who took the intensive instruction for assistants in boxing in one camp, twenty-seven were made top-sergeants. This spe cial training is a great help to the noncommissioned officers in main- 1 taining the respect of the men, and it makes the "noncoms" themselves ivaluable officers. The company tfKqianders and officers of higher r!osc value especially those sergeants who can develop in their men a fight ing, aggressive spirit as a basis for bayonet instruction." Dr. Raycroft said that in some camps as many as 600 men have been developed as assistant boxing Instructors. These men work under the supervision of the commission's boxing instructor and the commis sion's policy of building up an or ganization for teaching the funda mentals of boxing to our soldiers is proving effective. Among the recent appointments for athletic director and boxing in structor are T. Dinsmore Upton, ("Dinny"), at Camp McArthur, Texas: Mike Orrison, Middle West boxer, at Fort Bliss, Texas, and Tom Gibbons, brother of Mike, at Camp Meade, Admiral, Maryland. "Lefty" Pierce and Plank Will Pitch For Steelton Preparations were being made to day at Cottage Hill to take care of an enormous crowd at both morning and afternoon games with the pow erful Harlan team of Wilmington. W. W. Leek, the athletic committee, said this morning that the grand stands and bleachers, by a recent -estimate, will accommodate 2,700 spectators and that 1,000 more can see the game from the field, if neces sary. The morning game starts promptly at 10 o'clock and the aft ernoon one at 3. The Steelton Band is to play at the latter game. "Lefty" Pierce will probably work in the morning and Eddie Plank ini the closing battle, with the line-up much as it was against Fore River when Steelton showed such nifty team work. Whether Xeild or 'Shorty" Miller plays in the field will depend upon right or left hand pitching by the enemy. Steelton ffc so confident with recent victory that "Sockless Joe" Jackson and all the other Harlan stars do nof scare the Cocklll huskies one little bit.

Before the first Inning of the Hick- A-Thrlft-Reading contest had been played last evening in the Allison Hill League the game broke up in a dispute over a decision made by Um pire Shickley, and the contest was declared forfeited to the Hick-A- Thrift team by the usual 9 to 0 score. In a close decision at the plate the umpire cailed "Bobby" Clark safe. Captain McCurdy, representing Read ing players, disputed the decision. In arguing the point with the arbi ter, the latter claims that the cap tain used profane language. As a result Umpire Shickley ordered Mc- Curdy from the tield. Two other Reading players refused to play un less McCurdy remained in the con test, and, as Reading had not a suf ficient number of players on the bench to fill the gap thus made, the contest was declared forfeited after a period of two minutes. In contrast with the statement of' Umpire Shickley that the Reading captain used some "rough staff," is the statement of the players on the Reading team, who contend that "Mack" did not use any profanity, and that his arguing was not of suf ficient violence to cause his expul sion from the game. It is a question of veracity that will have to be set tled at a league meeting. It is likely that the president will call a meeting some time this week, when the evidence on both sides will be heard. The statement of the Reading players, who were In a posi tion to hear it, is in direct contrast to the reason given by the official. Reading started at a rapid clip In their first time at bat. Several bases on baits, coupled with clean hits, sent four runs across. The "Hlckies" got busy and knocked Germer from the mound before they had been retired. Then "Don" W'ertz took the mound for Reading. Shortly afterward Clark slid over the plate, and the ar gument arose that broke Up the con test. The spectators had.Just settled down to enjoy a good game, when It was forfeited.

"He is a Wonderful player, hits well and pulls sensational plays; but why isn't he considered a star like Cobb?" The answer is simple. Eddie is what commonly is called a colorless player. He plays his position in the ball field, but that Is all. He never has a battle with an umpire nor does he climb into the grandstand to punch a spectator. The last feature Is nothing to be proud of, but It keeps the player in the public eye. It is sorAething unusual and causes lots of talk.

HARRESBURG TELEGRAPH manages to keep himself In the lime light, whether it Is a scrap with a taxi driver or a battle with the fam ily butcher. Collins plays baseball like a businessman runs his office. When the game Is over he closes his desk fqr the day and goes htftno until the next afternoon. The swimming authorities in Hawal have sent their wonderful acquatic phenons to this country to raise Red Cross funds. Duke Kahanamoku. Clarence Lane, second only to the Duke in the sprints: Harold Kruger. champion backstroke swimmer, and one other star yet to be selected, have volunteered. Duke is in Class 3 of the draft, while Lane and Krug er are both under eighteen years of age. The boys are anxious to do their bit for the Red Cross, and when a tour of the continent was first sug gested they demurred, but said that chey would make a tour If the re ceipts were turned over to the Red Cross. This fact alone will be a big boast for Hawaii, comments a Honolulu paper, "and every' one Is Interested In the outcome. The boys of Hawaii want to have it said they raised thousands for the American Red Cross." Speaking of Kruger, sfimmer, oarsman and all-round athletic, they call him "Stubby" at his home island. He has very decided notions of cer tain things. For example he claims thut more than five minutes under the shower saps your strength. Ac cording to the backstroke champion, the athletic should turn on the warm water first, and three minutes with soap is enough. Cold water stimu lates all the vital activities by its ef fect upou the nervous system. Kruger says that after the shower the ath lete should take a good rub with a coarse towel, until the skin fairly glows. If one could keep track of the money for the Red Cross raised by golfers thus far this season the total compiled would probably surprise even those who profess to have a fairly good idea of what is being ac complished. Kvery time an exhibi tion match is staged amounts rang ing from S3OO to $5,000 are raised, and these affairs are going on with such frequency that it is difficult to keep track of them all. For instance, at the Rldgewood Country Club on Sunday S6OO was raised in a four ball match between professionals. Tom Boyd and Jack Hobens defeated Joe Mitchell and Isaac Mackle by 5 up and 4 to play, and at an auction sale after the round an admirer bid slll for the ball used by Mitchell.

FLYING WITH SHAFFER MIXED FEELINGS LETTERS FROM A DAUI'HIN* BOY TO HIS MOTHER Escadrille M. S. P. 156, Secteur Postal 12, May 16, 1918. Dear Mother: Went In swimming to-day for the first time in France. Golly! It was cold and mosquitoes! Ye gods The number of them made me think of New Jersey. You will get an idea how cold the water was when I say that the mosquitoes did not bother me after the first dive. Afraid to make a landing on me for fear of frost-bitten feet, and good ness knows they have enough feet to worry them. Yes, and I played some more tennis to-day, hobnailed shoes, busted racquet and cement court notwithstanding. It sure was hot, and that was where the swim helped for it was cooling indeed. Taking it all in all, had quite a full day, as I flew an hour in the morning. Not a very satisfactory flight to be sure but still, I was in the air and that helped. The whole business was an experiment all around, for I asked permission over the phone to use the plane. The conversation was carried on in French, so you -will get an idea why I said experiment as it was my first "pour parlant" over the phone. The plane, you know, dtd not be long; to me, but to a Frenchman on permission, which was why per mission to fly it was necessary. Being one of the new Moranes with two machineguns and a new motor, I was naturally delighted to climb aboard. As I ran swiftly along the ground and into the air, I was surprised to flnd I still knew how to fly, as you know T haven't flown for over a month. Wondering if I still knew how to shoot down we dove at the target, both guns spitting lead with a crackle and roar mighty pleasing to the ear. The other Morane going with me tried his guns also, but one not working, landed to have it fixed. Not know ing what was the matter I landed also, but we both started away again immediately tried our guns again, and finding them working, headed for the lines. Mixed Feelings You can Imagine my teelings when only about 3 miles from camp at 1,000 meters, my motor slowly died down and then stopped dead. Never having been in this predicament, I guess you can't imagine the pilot's feelings. Mine were considerably mixed. First, I was sore because I couldn't continue to the lines, and then I be gan to wonder whether I had enough altitude to get me back to camp, and began Judging the distance down and the speed at which X was fall ing with a calculating eye. Re member, I had no motor, and an air plane to fly must have speed. Not having any motive power X was us ing the law of gravity to keep suffi cient speed to stay afloat but using Newton's law necessitates coming down all the time, and that's what wab worrying me whether the "piste" (camp) would rise up to meet me befcre I got down. It did, and I still had some room to spare, so I made seveial S's to prevent overshooting the "piste" and landed safely. Look ing over the engine the mechanic found that a little lever for giving the motor air had been closed. It being situated near my knee, I may have closed It accidentally, for I did not even know it was there, being my first time In this type of plane. Oil Again Pulling open the lever, we were soon awing again, but I had used up so much time and "essence" around the camp that no sooner had I reached the lines than I had to come home for flying In these little Mo ranes is limited only to the amount of gasoline carried, which Is "pas beaucoup," but we go so fast that what we loose In time we make up in speed. Our new double-machine gun Mo ranes began arriving yesterday, and now we are only waiting to have the guns mounted, when we begin working again. I promptly picked one out and started my mechanic to working on it. Incidentally, this same plane has a history, that al though amusing, might have proved traglq. I was flown here by a spe cial pilot from the Morane factory (the Captain not letting us fly them in because going to Paris isn't good for us—maybe he was right, because one does lose an awful lot of money in Paris In a short time) and when he left the field where tne machines were parked he picked up a heavy rope with his tail skid. Whether he didn't know It, or was afraid of it catching onto something and up setting him when he landed, I don't know. Anyway, he continued on his journey. I saw him pass over Chalons, being ift the town at the time, standing on his tall, with en gine wide open, pulling this mile long rope, I thought It was merely a trail of smoke from his engine, and a pretty French miss passing Just then, I lost interest. But when I got back to the escadrille and saw the pile of heavy rope that he had drmgged 150 miles, my mouth open ed In wonder for not only was It half an inch thick, but over & mile lo "Twas Indeed a wonder he didn't hook one end onto a church steeple as he passed over Chalons. The Hani Part Speaking about singing, last night one Frenchman go t pretty well "liquored up" and wanted me to sing a/duet with him. Not wishing any champaign, I humored him and JULY 2, 1918. said I would, but he gave me the hard part. I had to listen, for I knew neither the words nor the time. Met an American the other day who was trained at Tours after the American government took charge of it. He was training for an ob server, which don't require any fly ing ability, but it was interesting to hear his version of some of the crazy stunts pulled off by the more ven turesome monlteurs there. Having taken some training there myself I knew quite a few of the monlteurs. If you have ever heard anything of the city of Tours, Frarfce, you know that there is a famous cathe dral there, with two tall steeples, notwithstanding the fact that they are rather close together a moniteur one day became obsessed with the idea of flying a Candron plane be tween them. These Candron train ing planes have quite a wide spread of wing, so when he got near the steeples he found there was not enough room for his plane to pass. Not daunted, he banked up on one wing and went through edgewise, and that finished his career as an aviator, as the officials sent him back to the trenches, which shows how effectually and thorough an aviator who takes foolish chances is punished. Am inclosing two pictures of my self. Tell me if you receive them. I see no reason why the censor should cut them out. If he won't allow them to pass, I hope at least he will be kind enough to cut my picture out and send it along. WALTER. JAMES V. CI.AYPOOI.

J. M. McCarrell imposed a sentence of four months In jail and a SSO fine. The Court stated that It has not been customary to suspend sentence in such cases and that to do so in this Instance with no unusual circum stances would establish a bad prece dent. ' One of the surprises of the ses sion came when Mrs. Annie S. Simonetti,, a probation officer of the court, was called by the defense and upon being asked whether she though the Dale woman a fit one to have charge of children at a nur sery replied in the affirmative. Dis trict Attorney Michael E. Stroup at once asked Mrs. Simonettl If she thought public opinion would sup port her In such a stand and whether she would want to place any of the chilCTen on probation under her In the care of the Dale woman. She answered that she had not thought of such circumstances. Robert Wallace and Robert Stucker, attorneys, appeared in be half of the Dale woman. After ask ing for a suspension of sentence Mr. Stucker read excerpts from a num ber of letters which the woman has been receiving from her husband who Is now in service in France. The Court only remarked that it was well that she had the confidence of her husband. Charles Umholtz, Wiconlsco, plead ing guilty to a serious charge pre ferred by a 16-year-old girl, was or dered to pay a SSO fine and serve four months In jail. The Court refused to suspend sentence as asked, declaring that it would be a dangerous ex ample to release a married man on probation even though he entered a plea of guilty. A young girl whose mother said she was incorrigible, was ordered to be taken to the Sleighton Farms School.
