HARRISBURG GUN CLUB INVITES ALL HANDS TO LEARN SHOOTING; HILL GAME TODAY KEYSTONE BOY IS SPEED KING Hickey, of Connellsville, Will Be Star Driver at Union town Motor Races All eyes in the motor world will be turned, shortly, on the enterprising village of Unlontown, where million nires are common as turnips and where drivers of world fame love to contend on the magnificent speedway. The historic Independence Auto Derby is to be run there July 18, and the in dications are that a mighty throng: l'rom Western Pennsylvania will at tend. All the star drivers of the coun try, DePalma, Mulford, Chevrolet, and not forgetting Hickey, will be on the program, which is by all odds tlie best card ever offered at. Uniontown. Fayette county will turn out by thousands just to see its hero, D. W. Hickey, of Connellsville, who very re cently was only a workman in a gar age there. Now he has won the friendship of the greatest drivers in the game and the respect and support of speedway fans the country over. Ralph DePalma congratulated Hiclcey after the race at Chicago last month, when Hickey finished fourth after a remarkable display of skilled and consistent driving. Those who know Ralph best know that this is out of the ordinary for the taciturn Ralph to comment on the driving of ■a icompetitor. Hickey was tutored In the early stages of his racing by Smiling Ralph Mulford. and the Fayette county boy was quick to pick up the angles of the game. This year lie finished fifth at Sheepshead Bay and fourth at Chi cago. Last year his record was ex -1 raordinary. Resta, after watching the performance of this Fayette coun ty phenom, declared that a driver must beat Hickey to win. Hickey is popular with all of the drivers. He handles a car after a tire bursts like the late Spencer Wisliart, who was never known to lose control of his car. Hickey will drive in the Independence Auto Derby and the Australian pursuit race on July 18. He will pilot the car in which Mulford established the world's twenty-four hour record at Sheepshead Bay Speed way. RACING AT CLEVELAND B v Associated Press Cleveland, July 18.

Who keeps track of his killings on game, we have a way of checking him up on human lives, which are now far In excess of his game reaord. MRS. JAMES F. McCJUILPIN, Cincinnati, Ohio. Answer: His records are kept by the care taker on his game preserve, who is in touch with all of his killings on wild game, which is always done from a blind built in such a manner that there is no element of danger to the Kaiser. The game is driven to him by beaters. Wings of brush are so constructed that game is forced to pass within easy shooting distance. The sport from the angle of good, red blood diversion and his presence in the zone danger, compare favorably with those encountered should a man go into the country and for a rea sonable compensation get permission from a stock-raising friend, to go into hiding, near the trail where the milch cows- were being driven in at even tide and taking a shot at one of those contented cows as they passed on their way to the barn paddock. If lie is a good or great sportsman, America has no man in his class. Question: Will the war conditions decrease the attendance at the Grand American Handicap in Chicago this year? What dates will it be held? ' Are the pro grams out? Where could I get one?. JOHN R. WYMORE. Chicago. Answer: The attendance may not be up to last year's record, so many of the trapshooters having gone into the service of Uncle Sam. There will be as many entries as can be talten care of to advantage. The Grand American Handicap will be held upon the grounds of the South Shore Country Club, August 5-3, 1818. No programs have been issued as yet. Address E. Reed Shaner. Secretary Interstate As sociation, 219 Coltart Square, Pitts burgh, Pa., for program. HERE IS YOUR CHANCE FOR LEARNING TO SHOOT STRAIGHT The Harrisburg Gun Club, With Wonderful Range on the Conodoguinet Creek at Oyster's Dam, Invites Men and Boys to Join and Become Proficient Shots To the Editor of the Telegraph: My attention has been directed to articles appearing - in recent issues of the Telegraph urging young jnen to learn to shoot and quoting recom mendations along that line from prominent Army officers. These articles appeal to the writer as being most timely just now, when hundreds of our young men from this city are being and will be inducted into the service of the United States. I am, indeed, glad that th£ Govern mental authorities have fully awak ened at last to the importance of training our young men to handle a rifle with skill, while they are yet civilians. Nothing gives a recruit more confidence than the knowl edge that he has a dependable weapon in his hands and can use it effectively, and just a little bit quicker than his adversary. Realizing this need, a group of men early in 1916 organized a small rifle shooting association in Harrisburg and secured a charter under the title of the Harrisburg Rifle Club. We affiliated with the National Rifle As sociation and invited everyone we knew to come with us to our range and learn the game of making bull's eyes. Upward of 100 of the best blood of our city responded and ere the 'SLUGGER PIPP TO LEAVE TH tOfPlp' Walter Pipp. the slugging first man of the New York Yankees, is the latest big league star to enter the service of Uncle Sam. . Pipp has an nounced his enlistment in the Naval Aviation Service and expects to leave in a few weeks. summer of 1916 had passed we were equipped with Government rifles and every man had qualified. To-day, thirty-four of those young men are in the Army, nineteen of whom are officers and all of them highly proficient in marksmanship, learned at our little range leased from Colonel Ott at Lucknow. Those brave boys will tell you it pays to learn the science of shooting accurate ly and quickly. We now have one of the largest ranges in the state, located along thfe Conodoguinet creek about a half mile north of Oyster's Dam, and we are urging personally, and I now urge I that your good paper take up this matter in an endeavor to induce young men and old to come to our range on Saturday afternoons or throughout I the week and practice at the targets, i The cost of ammunition is small. Any one not owning a rifle will be loaned one by the club. We have a number !of rifles just for this purpose. This invitation is extended also to organ ized bodies, such as the Harrisburg Reserves. No better oppbrtunity could be offered them than on these grounds. There is also ample ground space for drilling purposes. Alll that the Harrisburg Rifle Club will require is that applicants sub scribe to the rules governing the op eration of the range and pay a nomi nal fee to assist in defraying expense of upkeep of the range. Men and boys of Harrisburg and vi cinity, it's up to you. C. A. DUNN, Vice-President, Harrisburg Rifle Club. HARRISmJKGKK WIN'S SHOOT John G. Martin, of Harrisburg, led the field with 141 out of a pos sible 150 in the Hercules Gun Club's annual registered target shoot at Spring Valley Saturday afternoon. Henry Jermyn, of Darranceton, was second with 142. Edward H. Adams, of Reading, was third with 141 and Frank L. Sidebotham, of Philadel phia, who looked like a certain win ner until the last thirty targets were sprung, of. which he missed five, was fourth, with 139. Adams, of Reading, captured the Berks and Lehigh target champion ship. Sixty-three men participated. Entertains at Dinner at the Hershey Cafe R. T.

Wednesday—Reading vs. Gala had. Thursday Hick-A-Thrift vs. Rosewood. Friday—Galahad vs. Rosewood (postponed game). With two-thirds of the Allison Hill baseball schedule completed, the race has almost narrowed down for the final honors to Reading and Rose wood. The present week will de termine what chance the Galahad tossers have, as they must meet Rosewood twice and Reading once. It will be a severe test for the "Knights," and if they can pull i through this week they still have a [ chance for some of the honors. Chances favor the two leaders, who have admirable players, and each aggregation has its followers. To pick out- certain players on each team would almost be the same as going oyer the entire roster. There is scarcely a weak. spot. Depend able George Uevan is almost always sure to return a winner. "Don" i Werts is likely to be used by Read ing during the remainder of the sea son. Earl Waltz Is the third of the railroad* triumvirate. Added to their skilful pitching is the fact that they are all heavy hitters; In fact, among the best of the league. Compared with the Reading fling ers, Rosewood has its three "LB"— Longenecker, Leidig and Landis. These tossers are experienced play ers, upon whom Manager Klllinger can depend in a pinch. Landis has had college experience, being a mem ber of the University of West Vir ginia staff for several seasons. The other two tossers are local products who have worked their way up to the top. Leidig comes from High spine and Longenecker hails from Penbrook. An important business meeting of the league officials and managers will be held Wednesday evening. The election of a president to suc ceed C. Howard Reel, who has moved from the city and act(on on the Reading protest will be taken at that time. Left field In this league can be truthfully termed a garden. Some patriotic Hill resident has started a war garden in deep left field, so that the player In this position occasion ally has to get into the garden to catch the ball. "Tim" Kuker Is getting a better reputation every contest he plays as a sure flycatcher. When batters drive balls to center field they stop running. . Since the Hlck-A-Thrift team start ed to win they have, been more than holding their own. All the teams in the league fear them. Biever, the Galahad twirler, Is one of the hard-luck pitchers of the league. No matter how good a game he pitches, it is difficult for him to win at any time. Secretary Fritz and his assistant, Harold Cobaugh, are preparing av erages of the players to date. Some intpresting figures are promised In batting and fielding. "Edijie" Geary, the Rosewood shortstop, covers as much ground as any other player In the league on the infield positions. His accurate fielding cuts off many a hit. One of the best of the younger players in the league Ig "Birdie" Hinkle. He has played practically every position on the team. In ad dition to being versatile, he is also a timely batter.

He asked 1 to be informed of the conditions on which players were being: enlisted, anil wanted to know whether It was true that they were being pjomlsed exemption from draft. It is also learned that official cognisance of the steel and shipbuilding menace has been taken by the major leagues, and they have protested both at Washington and at the various plants, but they have made no headway. And furthermore it is doubtful if they will make any headway. It seems ridiculous that the major leagues believe that the officials at Washington should lay aside the weighty military problems in winning the great world war, to enter into a baseball squabble just because a certain crowd of men have a large amount of money invested. They should remember that not only do finances run into billions in the conduct of the war, but also that human life is sacrificed in the fight 1 for democracy. , ifc: Ai (TH I^IAMI'SEBM.ENTS|^I ... .

Mae Marsh, the favorite of millions, will be seen at the Colonial Theater to-day and to-morrow Mae Marsh nt in "All Woman." Sim the Colonial plicity is the keynote ,' , of the theme present ed by this feature, which attracts sole ly because of its heart interest. There are no plot complications that require untangling. The story is of the hero ine's stubborn battle against the bat tles of king alcohol, and her subse quent victory is just the sort of thing calculated to awaken enthusiasm among our audiences. The delightful acting of Miss Marsh from beginning to end carries an insistent and sym pathetic appeal. The leading woman is fortunate in receiving the support of a thoroughly competent cast which contributes heavily to the success of this picture.

"If the large crowds which throng ed the Regent to-day may be taken as evidence," said Peter Magaro, the manager, "it Is clear that Mr. Cohan is more popular than ever In Harris burg." In this picture, he is seen as "Billy" Holliday, a famous drink-mixer at one of New York's big hotels. "Billy" prospers at his trade, until one day he is called upon to mix a drinks for a minor, and then the fun starts. "Billy" refusing, is immediately fired and be comes, after some difficulties, an ar dent prohibitionist. In this role, his mannerisms are said to be almost ex actly those of "Billy" Sunday, the famous evangelist. Several big fights, convention scenes and tense moments, make this play one gf the most thrill ing and the same time humorous plays, which have been seen In Har rlsburg.
