SATURDAY'S VICTORY MAY BRING PENNANT TO STEELTON; MIDDLETOWN FLYERS WON AVIATORS FLY „ OVER WEST END Fast Local Stars Sink Depth Bomb Under Enemy in Sixth, but Can't Win Zingo! The cloud busters from Middletown flew the Stars and Stripes over West End on Saturday until the eagle screamed. The score, was close, 8-7, and the heroes cf Harrisburg, Euker, McCurdy, Wertz, Killinger, Waltz, names familiar to every reader of amateur baseball, played like demons to bring down the Aviators to , earth. But this time the flyers did all sorts of stunts ; from volplane to vrill and it was! not to be. The very first man up, Maxwell, j belted the bulb, took second on Paf- j falein's sacrifice, shot to third on a J passed ball by Killinger and scored j on a sacrifice fly. Not content with j this, in the second inning, Stuart broke one for three bases and an-1 other passed ball by Killinger did, the. trick. In the fifth Earl Waltz | lodged a fast ball in the carcass of j Scalise, who went all the way to j third on Pitcher Blissett's wallop and j Killinger's third passed ball scored! him. In the sixth the Aviators; waxed greedy and starting with a; walk to Segelberg, copped some more timely hits via the bludgeons ofj Stuart and Scalise. This totaled five] runs so far, and three more came in; two in the seventh and one in the eighth; Maxwell, Paffalein and Seg elburg slammed the pill this inning. In the eighth, Stuart nicked one and tV. Euker made a costly error on Blissett's rap. This mishap scored Stuart and won the game for the flyers. The West End did not expose its heavy artillery until the sixth, when, Notter's error on Wertz who stole second started things. T. Euker singled, then he and Wertz pulled a double steal. A-bevy of hits rattled then and six runs came over before' the bombardment subsided. The score; WEST END AB R. H. O. A. E. Bell. 2b 5 1 3 1 1 0 Srafer, ss, rf.... 5 1 1 1 0 0 Dill, rf 1 0 0 0 0 0 W.

Silver Tube Taken From Boy's Lung by Using X-ray La* Angeles—A little boy's life has been saved by the miracles of mod- j ern surgery, that but a short time ago would have been almost inevitab- I ly lost. Victory was won by the successful ! use of the X-ray by two local surg- | eons In facilitating one of the most I intricate and rarely successful opera tions —that of removing a foreign j body from the lung. In Glendale the life of the six-year- I old son of Mr. and Mrs. Milborn was saved by the removal of a piece of ; silver tubing (about one and a quar- \ ter inches long! from the bronchial tubes of his right lung. The outstanding feature of the case , was that the entire operation was j performed upon an X-ray table un der the direct vision of the X-ray op- j erator, who was thufe enabled to i guide the surgeon in his difficult and j delicate work of extracting the tube ' from the recesses of the lung. By i this means, the whole operation was | successfully accomplished within the j space of only two minutes, and the child now lies in tthe Thornycroft Hospital well on the road to complete ! recovery. , Play Safe — | Stick to . .

What will then be the] ! effect of war training on trapshoot-j ing. Uncle Sam has become the of-1 ficial shooting tutor for 2,000,000 i men, who are now being intensively] trained in the cantonments and j ground schools to handle and accu-j rately shoot a gun. America's pioneer settlers had ne- j ] cessity for a shooting preceptor. At that time personal and community] safety, in conjunction with table re quirements, made accurate shooting a most valuable family asset. In those dayß the blood curdling war cry of the same lurking savage, who to-day is in the front trenches 'over there" fighting for a world's democ racy, was continuously expected and very frequently heard. The early : settlers' firearms were at all times, conveniently located, both men and ' women were skilled in the weapons which at all times are equalizers of brute strength. Fatal object lessons; were frequently taught the aggres sive red man. which had the effect of staying .their impetuous s'calp-, i lifting proclivities. In those days meat conservation 1 was made necessary, only with those; ■ families, wherein the head was not; skilful with firearms in the secur-j ! ing of wild game for the family ltr-; j fer. Ariother insistent demand arose l | for aggressive shooting ability in the; i shooting arena. Our country was looked upon with jealousy by other! : nations and a number of unsuccess i ful attempts were made to disinte- 1 ; grate our form of government. A 1 great mistake in judgment upon' their parf, due to universal training by that foremost of all teachers, ne- ] cessity, in accurate shooting and! : firearm accomplishments of the. 1 Yankee soldiers. This .proved in all I | instances to be the great balance of power. As a result of consistent 1 training, victory perched upon our; . banners and Old Glory to-day floats i over the "land of the free" and has ! been carrierd into foreign climes by! our Army and Navy, assisting our; brother allies in throttling brutal power against christianized dernoc- j ! racy. Necessity for a number of years ; ] has not been our official instructor, I due to the apparent security assured ! by the hovering of the dove of peace j I over our homes in America, a per- j ! manent amnesty with all nations, j had been to all external appearances ] established. We did not suspicion as ] a nation that the insidious Bochei ; was making extensive internal prep- j ' arations to dominate all world pow-1 I ers. Our most stable and depend-! I able assurance of continuous peace, ] i preparedness, with universal train j ing in the handling and accurate] I shooting of firearms had been over- I looked in our mad rush for money, ] ! society and pleasure. This war is an j ; indirect blessing, as Ameriman man- | j hood was rapidly drifting into a na-j j tion of indoor weaklings, unable to i respond to our country's exigency! ; call. Eliminating the loss of life, the; ! sorrow of fathers, mothers, sisters, I ! wives, sweethearts and friends, this! i war as a physical benefit from every ; angle to our boys over there, is an asset of inestimable value to our na-1 ! tion as an entirety. Our people had become familiar | I with and expert in the use of the i ! ticker, pen or pencil, which avallethi ! but little when pitted against a bar-! j rage Are to be followed by machine! guns, gas or. cold steel. That old vaudeville slogan. "I didn't raise my boy to be a soldier," j was the cause of much.misdirection j of fond mothers, who should have! encouraged their sons in becoming; proficient and expert with guns. [ Wishes of fathers, mothers or friends' are not consulted wheri the call to j colors is made. If accurate shootijfg ability is taught at home, a guarantee of personal from accidents and the gun operator is not a men ace to his comrades through inex perience. It also insures mastery and crushing of Prussian militarism | at a much earlier date. I General Pershing .states that "Aj soldier's efficiency is based upon, shooting 70 per cent., tacticsf and other accessories 30 per cent." This in itfolf conveys an idea of a post graduate course in shooting. This educational fact also applies to our Boy Scout organization, whtn j a lad is of sufficient age to become a' member of the Boy Scouts, he is 1 then of requisite age to be taught the use and handling of firearms. The staff is useful on hikes, gun knowl-i edge is ever essential and necessary ( as a personal friend protective and j national measure. Every American soldier now grac-j ing the khaki uniform is being in-' tensively trained to handle and shoot a gun. In his home correspondence! with relatives and friends, he is in- ' jecting gun lore, thus creating an in-! terest in home circles. This grand j army will soon return to their ha-; tive soil, educated in skilful shoot-' ing and anxious to try conclusions in: trapshooting with their civilian friends. A returned army of trained to-the-minute expert trapshots. They will be anxious to popularize and perpetuate the grandest and j most patriotic sport in the world, both from a pleasure, combined with 1 the preparedness phase, the very i best guarantee of permanent peace. Trapshooting at this time, touches a most popular chord, this major l sport should #e endorsed from every | angle of social life. Municipal au- j thorities should encourage and sec-; tions of public parks, of easy access, to the general public, should be set ! apart and equipped, where trap-1 shooting could be practiced both now and hereafter, making it a unl-j versal sport, which has proved a most salient feature in the winning j of the world's war and will be one , of the,factors in assuring a perma nent peace. A trapshooting crusade should be immediately inaugurated, when men, women and boys will be taught the classic art of shooting. Home pre paredness in accurate shooting should'be our slogan and send our boys direct to the ground schools and cantonments trained shots. This means the conserving of most valu able time, which Uncle Sam devotes after their arrival. It will require but little time to teach them acces sory tactics. We predict that trapshooting at the conclusion of this war, will be a line of sport universally adopted. There is an infatuation which ac companies successful accomplish ment of the shooting problem, which ingratiates itself into one's system and makes Sport during irresist ible and most enjoyable. This in conjunction with the most desirable phase of universal training, pre paredness and patriotism, will brand trapshooting "America's Major Sport." Managers Who Never Played Major Ball One of the greatest successes of the present major campaign is that of Ed Barrow, who suc ceeded .Tack Barry, as manager of the Boston Red Spx, after the former had enlisted in the navy. It may be said here that Barrow had no soft job on his hands when he undertook to lead the Sox to a pennant, which he is do ing very nicely at present. Barrow took the reins of the team after most of the stars had left to follow the leader into the service, including the most prom inent stars of the club. Barry, Gtainer. Shorten. Hoblitzell, Jaii vrin. Shore. Lewis, McNally, Pen nock and Erne Shore, all enlisted in the navy. This left the team with only a lot of substitutes, but as these could not be used in the winning of the pennant. Barrow was quick to see the advantage of trading with other teams to get some good players to replace those now in the service. Barrow was given plenty of coin to back his trades, and con sequently secured some of the best players that could be had. From the Athletics ho got Mc- Inncs, Strisnk, Schang and Bush, and purchased Dave Shean, a sec ond baseman, from the Cincin-. nati Reds. This then made up one of the strongest teams in the American League. When Bar row got the,combination working the team went to the top of the league and has never been be low third place, a wonderful feat for half of the season is already over. The most peculiar fact about Barrow is that he never played in the big show. This was not needed, as he established his abil ity as a leader in the Interna tional League. Again the same thing can be said of Hugo Bezdek, the man ager, who undertook to pilot the Pittsburgh Pirates, in the middle of last season. Bezdek never play ed baseball in the big leagues and before being assigned to the man agership of the Pirates he had been a football coach. I HARRISBURG I TELEGRAPH UNCLE UNKLE BEAT R.R. BOYS Motive Power Team Lost Again to Renovo in Elimi nation Scries For Cup Your old Uncle Unkle, of Renovo. sidetracked the fast Hnrrisburg lim , ited on Saturday with such a jolt that the Motive Power athletes generated but one run. while Renovo was ac cumulating nine. It may be that the John Harris,railroaders got a little too chesty over trimming Altoona and the Schuylkill Division, so that the humble village of Renovo was de stined to runovah them. At any rate. Pitcher Biever, who hurled many a swell contest this season for the railroad chaps, seemed to lose control on Saturday, and in the first inning Renovo tumbled in with four runs, enough to win. Old Uncle Unkle pitched easily, with a grin on his phiz, and kept the hits paragraphed, so that Hgrrisburg could do little. Renovo sure is a Jinx for our boysi? and these two defeats may result in Harrisburg being eliminated from thS Manager's Cup series. The score: RENOVO AB. R. H. O. A. E.

State College Has 1,435 in Service; Five Killed State College, Pa., Aug. 12.—There are now 1,435 stars, five of them in gold, on the sevice flag of the Pennsylvania State College, and the tale is not yet told. Many other alumni, students and faculty mem bers are striving to overcome ob stacles to their enlistment, and still others are impatiently awaiting the operation of the selective service law. Those who remain at the college to keep the educational wheels turning have responded to their utmost to every demand in all the manifold activities connected with the war. The alumni association office, which is compiling records of Penn State men in service, has reported that there are 418 commissioned of ficers, 124 noncommissioned officers and 888 privates serving the Nation's Flag. Five Penn Stato men have given their lives, three of whom Were officers. AROUND THE BASES Lieutenant Levi L. Lamb, men-, tioned to the list from J France as severely wounded, was one of the most brilliant athletes' who ever wore the colors of Penn State. Lamb won fame on the foot-: ball field, the wrestling mat, and as, a weight man on the track team. On the gj-idiron, he played bril- j liant football for Penn State at right! tackle for three years. His prowess' as a placement kicker hung up many points for the Blue and White. Lamb! booted two field goals against Har- j yard's famous 1913 team, enabling; State to tie the Crimson, 13 to 19.; Eddie Collins, second baseman for! the Chicago Americans, will play his last game this season at Boston next Thursday, leaving that night for; Philadelphia, where he will join thej Marines. The recent order putting the ban on further enlistments will; not affect Collins, as he had made! his arrangements .to join the navy before the order was issued, he said, i One of the greatest surprises ever; recorded in trapshooting was the' winning at Chicago of the American Handicap by a comparatively un-! known marksman, John D. Henry, of: Elkhart, Ind. He tied with Hqnry Pendergast, of Phoenix, N. Y„ with a score of 97, and in the shootoff! at 20 targets, the Westerner won, i 18 to 17. Henry, who shot from 16 yards, is an inexperienced shooter, and is! rated in the 82-pcr cent, class. This' tourney was the second registered j shoot he ever attended, but he brokej the targets like a veteran, although' he met a seasoned shooter in Pen-J dergast, who shot from 22 yards. j There was some rare sport over; in the Susquehanna yesterday when i the swimmers rigged up a diving board on one of the sand flats. Some i of the lads thought they were doing; a real stunt by diving six feet in six feet of water. This would not be a! feat for a child out in California,! where swimming is common. Out' there surf diving is the thing. It is I the most graceful dive that can be) made into the ocean, but it is diffi cult. The bather runs to the water's! edge, leaps high into the air, comes! down in "jack-knife" position and dives into six or twelve indies of wa-' ter. Sounds impossible? Not at all. The trick is in landing qn the chest! and hands, but the dive is executed! so rapidly that the diver appears toj be hitting the water head foremost. If he did this in reality he might suffer a skull fracture. Diving into shallow water is alto together knapk of form. We have seen divers come off a twenty-foot j elevation head fqremost into water three feet deep. They hit the watpr' HUNS MAKE LINES HUM WITH SHELLS Father W. W.

"I enjoyed your letter very much. * * • The Hun is making things pretty warm for our boys. The shells go buzzing over our heads, playing discordant music that doesn't sound like 'Home, Sweet Home.' This is nop lace for a minister's son, for one would love to say things at those humming shells. You know how it is. We must take things cool, even though the Hun is doing his dardnest to make things hot for us. The Hun seems to envy us our good health, and then he looks so sick when he's caught. "People fancy the Germans are wonderful fighters. That's a big mis take. The Huns even throw up their hands, open their mouths and howl, and shut their eye swhen they see the cold steel coming to get ac quainted with their gizzard.

Cockill, who by his sheer enthusiasm ' and strategic ability defeated Leb anon on Saturday in the most spec ! tacular game played at Cottage Hill | this season. Cockill is a big-league | manager; thatis why the Steelton club ; has been up there all through the ! race and why she will in all probabil | ity cinch the flag before she plays all | of the three games scheduled. I About three thousand fans on Sat | urday gave a, vivid exhibition of I Bedlam. Previous to the seventh in j ning, when Cockill took the game in ; hand by coaching at third, and he : was in uniform, of course, all the excitement had been confined to the | right field bleachers, where some I hundreds of Lebanon rooters roosted, jit looked "exceedingly dark" for I Steelton and Thousands were praying j lor a Casey at the bat. The score | stood 3-1 against the home chaps and j Jess Buckles was Hinging so cleverly ] that there seemed small chance of a victory. | And then, zowie, things began to i happen. Cockill let out his voice in j a subterranean roar, whooped her up I for fair and shot the pep into all ' hands, like a Hugh Jennings. After McCarthy had filed out Captain Roxy j Roach belted the horse-hide an awful | wallop, good for a brace of sawdust. Here was the psychological moment; one out, a man on second and two runs to make, for a tie. Cockill did not hesitate. He waved in "Kid" Stutz to bat for "Shorty" Miller, be cause Shorty had not been meeting the ball. The "Kid" bumped a crooked bounder to short which Bobby Stowe could not handle quick enough to do any damage. When Marhefka dropped Stowe's throw off Edmundson's grounder the bases were choked, and once again Manager Cockill demon strated the strategy of a Marshall Foch. He pulled out Plank and sub situted Nelld for nttting. This shifty little chap bumped one to Stowe which scored Roach, and Mow i ery forgetting to cover third, the bases were jammed again. By this time the Steelton fans were nearly looney, while poor Lebanon could; only groan and cusp. Powerful single wallops by George Hunter and Jack Knight sent in the balance of the Ave runs and the best game on Cottage Hill was over. George Hunter, that stone-wall leaguer of old. opened the battle with a clean two-bagger. George is canny. He stole home while Friend Waltz toyed with the ball, examining its cover. George is always watching for these things. Jack Knight had one of the busiest days.of his checkered career. He took Ave assists and 4 put-outs and some of his stunts were so remarkable that the rooters Just gasped. Mike Mowery will have the dis tinction for the rest of his lifp of giving a ball the longest ride ever ogled at Cottage Hill. He lifted it over the left field fence into some body's backyard. Roxy Roach let a swift one escape him from Clauser's bat, but his work is so polished that the home rooters did not beef. A moment later Clouser and Babbington were doubled up in a play that lightning itself could not have beat. Kaufman had hard luck all day, meeting the balj hard, but being un lucky to have it fielded each time. George Pierce pitched sweet ball after he replaced Eddie and the fans regretted that they had not seen him work oftener this season. Malnes, who replaced Jess Buckles when Steelton banged him out of the box, is 6 feet 4 Inches in height and looks like he could lick his weight in wild cats. But Steelton was a wild cat.
