GREAT TRAPSHOOT AT MAPLEWOOD NOW ON; STEELTON READY FOR JOE JACKSON FISHIN' WITH TOM MARSHALL Bead About the Battle With a Bass 'Way Up in Shawno Lake -Oiot a bibical fisherman. The Sea of Galilee was reputed to be famous llshing resort. In those days "flsh ermans specials," were an unheard of luxury. On the back of an easy Raited camel, flshermeft crossed the hot sands and were met upon their arrival at the sea, not by one of our modern power boats, which would burn the water getting across Galilee to the "touted" fishing grounds. A heavy dorie manned by two black and tan fishermen bucking heavy oars was the method of travel. On this sea the Lord landed many fish in the nets of Peter, after he had fished in vain the whole night long. In Shawno Lake, Wis.. I was the fishing guest of George E. Phalr, who dishes up "Breakfast Food to the readers of many morning papers. Fhair was raised in Milwaukee, was posted on the best fishing resorts, familiar with Mr. Schlitz' home pro ducts and a limburger cheese con noisseur. lie was in charge of our commissary department. In his de sire to directly conmune with nature, he suggested that we might sleep upon a bed of perfumed boughs, in hale the pine laden ozone and per mit the ground currents to circulate through our bodies. He had elim inated blankets from our accessories. His arrangements met with my ap proval. Our first night out mid night found us cuddling up together in an attempt to keep warm. Arctic ground currents permeated our sys tems To add to our misery rain commenced to fall and we headed for a deserted shack, the former home of lumber jacks, who had lett their blankets as a comfort compli ment to visiting guests. We later suspicloned their motive. rootles. The bunks did not have them, the> had the bunks. They are an ener getic product of nature, really in tenaed to keep lumber jacks so in dustrious, they would forget they were lonely. "Pep" is their middle name .then approach you with soil clastic step. The leader of the batal llon attacks you, laying hold witn bull-dog tenacity, diverting your at tention, while the balance of his army get in their subtle work. Their warfare tactics are unfair and we were repulsed, making a hasty re treat closely followed by the enemy. The following day we diligent!;- fished the most attractive waters in the lake without success. P.iair suggesting the Lord had played fa vorites and sent all the fish to Pete:. George was casting from the shore and located a large black bass, res' • ing in the ihoss. His fly was dropped near the fish irtany times before the bass became pugnacious and belliger ent. —this scaled beauty had become peevish and irritable with age, like an old dog will become. A savage rush and the fight was on, it was ,x battle of the giants, in which the fish was awarded second money, as he was dragged from his native ele ment onto the bank, when about three feet from the water's edge the line broke and 5Vj pounds ot flch meat was at £>nce bouncing In mid air, attempting to regain the Annette Kellerman. never made a dive that equaled Phaire; a second only was consumed in a curve jump, which landed him on the back of his fish, with arms tight folded around the green bronze mon ster, which carried George nearer the water's edge with every flop. He turned to me with a "Save me Mar shall expression." as he was dragged out tc sea. I thought of the shacn and the "cooties," a calamity sent on me because he had cut out our blankets. It was no time to play even. I grabbed him by the foot palling him ashore while he hung onto the fish with his South of Ire land tenacity, a catch made with heavy tackle. Phair's remarks on the strength and fighting ability of a 5%-pound bass convinces me he will never receive honorable men tion in a bibical wrlteup. Like Shawno delivered to us a string of fhh, convincing us that Peter and his nets had nothing on us.

It is thought he was kicked by a mule. Union Station Railroaders Wreck the Telegraph Team An official bulletin sent out late last night concerning the Telegraph- Union Station battle over on the Island said that, the enemy forces had little difficulty crushing what feeble counterattacks were made by the printer athletes, finally wiping out the entire company*by the score of 14-3. Spies concealed in trees and camouflaged with moss discovered that the railroad fellers, who are such darned important guys around the depot, had rung in a professional ballplayer, one E. Snyder, who used to gambol with Harrisburg in the Tri-State. This viper crept into the bosom o£ the game almost imme diately, connecting with a two-bag ger and helping to make the Tele graph players look like a moth on a wig. The railroad assault was aimed at Pitcher 11. Man ley, who generally gets away with victory, and the hit tins was so lively that it sounded like a bowling alley. The Casey Jones tribe kept the throttle open every minute and the Telegraph freight lost what steam it started with. Story of Burning Dock TELEGRAPH R. H. O. A. E.

After the Galahad team had start ed off their contest last evening in the Allison Hill League by scoring five runs off the delivery of "Lefty" Landis of the Rosewood team, the Galahads fell down on the job and the "Roses" got busy, the final score being 16 to 5. The Galahads started off in great fashion by batting around in the first inning. But after that Landis steadied himself and hits were few and far between. The game was featured by the heavy hitting of the Rosewood team. The Killinger brothers and Garverich alone con tributed nine hits. Each secured three drives. "Babe" Brown and Mell of the victorious team drove out runs during the batfest. After the first inning it was Just a question of how large a score the Rosewood team could run up, and the crowd enjoyed the heavy hitting of the winners. In an effort to stem the attack of the winners, Galahad used three pitchers, but all were hit hard. To-night Rosewood and Hick-A-Thrift will oppose each oth er, with to-morrow evening observed as a holiday, and no contest will then be played. Eveler will likely op pose Longenecker in the box to night. The score: ROSEWOOD AB. R. H. O. A. E. O. Waltz, 2b .. . 5 1 1 0 3 1 G. Killinger, 3b 5 3 3 1 1 0 E.

Permapent organization of the State Bankers' As sociation of Pennsylvania was accom plished yesterday at a meeting in the Bellevue-Strattord, called to consider problems arising out of the movement to have state banks join the Federal Reserve system. George 11. Earle, Jr.. chairman of a committee appointed some weeks ago at a preliminary meeting, was elected temporary chairman; Georfge W. Ed wards, secretary, and G. W. Reily, of Harrisburg, treasurer. By unaimous vote the bankers then made these of ficers permanent for one year. The meeting yesterday brought into high relief the question of state banks Joining the Federal Reserve Bank system, and by inference reveal ed the fact that the amalgamation of state banks into a solid, workable body is primarily intended to permit Institutions of this character to enter the Federal Reserve system on a foot | ing possessed by the national banks. Sentiment expressed wa strongly In favor of going into the Federal svs- tem; provided, however, amendments to the present laws eliminated re strictions on the state banks. Theso restrictions, said to be many in num ber, have been acting as a bar against state banks, taking whole-heartedly to the idea, it was stated. As a gauge of the financial Import ance of the state banks and trust companies it was pointed out that the resources of these institutions in Pennsylvania exceeded by $1,094,000,- 000 those of the national banks in this commonwealth. Jji that respect, according to Commissioner I>afean, it was a case of the "tail wagging the dog," so far as Pennsylvania was con cerned. Among the bankers from this city and section who attended the confer ence were: George W. Reily, president of the Harrisburg Trust Company; William Jennings, president of tho Commonwealth Trust Company; A. S. Patterson, president of the Union Trust Company; ltobert McCormick, of the Dauphin Deposit Trust Com pany; K. Li. Myers, of the Trust Company, and \V. H. Nell, of the People's Hank of Steelton. State Banking Commissioner Lafean and his deputy. Captain John W. Mor rison, also were present. 11
