WILLIAMSPORT WELCOMES COCKILL AND STEELTON CLUB; KILLIFER IS CUBS' MAGICIAN HOME FOLKS TO k GREETCOCKILL Steelton Manager Will Get a • Warm Welcome at Wil liamsport "Like the Pittsburgh club, with Hans Wagner coming in Tri-State •lays, is the Steelton club, with George Cockill. "Eddie" Plank, George Pierce and other famous men. and tne fans throughout this section are getting ready to just go crazy. A fan in the street to-day. said: "So far as I am concerned for to-morrow afternoon, our factory might as well declare a holiday, for I would work nights to make it up rather than miss seeing this game.'" Yea. 80, when the lads from Cottage Hill hit Williamsport to-day. as the lo<jal paper says, folks are going to go batty. We have a picture of Man- Cockill alighting from the rat tler. with a mob of old friends and hero-worshipers waiting to carry him off. shoulder-high. You se-e. George made much of his fame at Williamsport, and he has j never been back since Tri-State days ! until this trip, when he takes his celebrated Steel League champions, whose names are now familiar wher ever baseball is read. First column, j front page, is hardly good enough for the local papers to advertise this big i event, and Harrtsburg and Steelton l fans would shiver with pride to sec how highly regarded is the Cottage 1 Hill ball club over there. The team representing: Wiliamspo:: is from the Lycoming Foundry, an.: it is afraid of no one. That the gam will he worth the price of admission i< certain, for there was a lot of kid ding in arranging it. like this: " 'Jack' Walton and 'Tom' Grav were baseball fanning at one of 11-. games, a few weeks ago. 'Tom' thought it would be nice to get Cook ill's team up to play. Walton said he wouldn't mind haying Steelton come, even with the big guarantee demand ed. if they would bring their regular players, but he didn't want any subs. "CocklU got a letter to that effect and came right back, giving his line up with the comment: This is a real ball club, and if your team expects to make a showing you had better get the best. I will personally make you a present of $lO if you win and $1 for every run you get ' " Says the local sport chronicler, in telling of the Steelton manager: "Cockill himself has a national repu tation. Like 'Christy' Xlathewson, he started his athletic career at Buck nell University. After making quite a name for himself in college base bail circles Cockill joined the Provi dence club, playing there in 1906-07. He was drafted by Detroit, sold to XVilliamsport and helped win the Tri- State pennant in 1908. "Cockill's playing attracted baseball scouts, who secured his release and farmed him to Montreal for the sea sons of 1909-10. With 'Tom' Gray and 'Bill' Coughlin. Cockill purchased his release, managed the Reading club and won the cup there in 1911. Governor Tener then secured him to /impire in the National League and he '*>tayed three seasons. "Plan were laid to have him come here and manage the Lycoming Foundry club this year, but as the Steel League, of which he might be called the father, was then in process of incubation, he was offered the man agement of Steelton and the position of one of the advisory directors of the newly-formed league. His influence secured for the Steelton clubb such renowned players as 'Eddie' Plank. •Jack' Kr.ight. A 1 Kaufman. 'Steve' Yerkes and others." MANY FILE DEEDS Many property owners In the Tenth and Fourteenth wards have filed the deeds to their properties during the last two days. After August 15 prop erty, owners who acquired title to their properties previous to April 1, 1918, will be subject to a fine of $5 for failure to register their prop erties. * CHARGED WITH THEFT Cicero Grant and Elmer Brown have hacl Joe Pennington arrested on the charge of stealing $S and two watches.

E.! Sanborn, a veteran baseball critic, j gives the bulk of the credit to Wil- j iiam Killifer. the catcher secured j rom the Phillies last winter in the ; uistoric Killifer-Alexander deal. He ; joints out that backstops are. as a, .ule, the victim of injustice and that about the only way Killifer can break into print, is to win a game by a great catch or a mighty wallop, or ,to make a huge blunder and lose the; I battle." Yet. he insists. Killifer* has j 1 "made" the Cubs. Tyler, Hollocher and Paskert have helped a lot. but . none of them as much as the l American backstop. It may sound foolish to the fans to ; say Killifer has strengthened the Cub ; : pitching staff more than Alexander ] could have done if he had toot been j drafted, but baseball men will under stand. j Alexander could have pitched only i ■once in four days, or occasionally in i three days. Killifer is in there every: game, making better pitchers thau : thev were before out of all of Mitch- j ! ell's slab staff. That's one of the j 1 biggest reasons why the Cubs have i been the surprise of this season. ' One of the first things I noticed j when switching from the White Sox ; to the Cubs recently was the change ; in the pitching of Vaughn. Hendrix \ and Douglas. I had not seen them I : work since last year and the difTer- j euce was marked. They were getting! a lot more help behind the bat than they had at any time last year in the . matter of "working" the batsmen. . i ] None of the Cub pitchers has any! more "stuff" than he had before. In I fact. Douglass cannot be expected to ! ! regain all his former strength and j i speed until later, as it takes time to I j recover from an operation for appen- j I dicitis Yet Douglas, returning to the i igame earli than expected, has been [ I pitching winning baseball, i The reason is that two heads are i better than one in pitching as well I as in some other things, and now the ! I Cubs have both a pitcher and a j ! catcher thinking how to fool each ! ' batsman. And nobody knows the | batsmen of the National League any j better than Sir William of the Mask. Killifer is unquertionably the best 1 catcher in the National League. When ! the deal with Philadelphia brought Alexander and Killifer'' to the Cubs i the former was the headliner, but. in I Rich Prizes For Marksmen at Phila. Division Shoot S. G. Hepford, chairman of ath ' letics, Philadelphia Division, an nounces that the second monthly in dividual championship trapshooting ; contest for all employes of the Phil j adelphia Division will be held on the • Philadelphia Division Gun Club grounds at Sixth and Division streets, Saturday, August IT, 1918, at 2 o'clock.

POSTPONE STONE PICKING The stone-picking party to have been held at the Seneca street swim ming pool was postponed from last night until to-night. my opinion, the North Side club own ers were more than to be congratulat ed on obtaining Killifer than on get ting his more famous battery mate, and that is not knocking Alexander the Great. He was the best in the National League. But if Killifer. in stead of Alexander, had been drafted into the Army the Cubs would not have won as many games as they have this season, because Aleck could not have pitched all of them, while Killi fer has caught most of them. And the best pitcher in the world can't win without support. The support given a pitcher by his catcher is greatly underrated by the general run of baseball followers. In proof thereof look back and see If any team ever won a world's series without a good catcher. Not all the world's champion backstops have been great catchers, both mentally and mechanically. Not all of thein have been "Billy" Sullivans. "Johnny" Klings. Ray Schalks or 'Bill" Killifers. but they have been good, brainy catchers just the same. The real reason why McGraw has not won a world's pennant since 1905 is that he has not had the right com bination behind the bat since then. On the other hand, while the Phillies did not win the world's championship with Killifer catching, he was more responsible for winning the National League pennant tha,t year than was Alexander the Great. although the pitcher was giver, most of the credit by the uninitiated. Powers. Lapp and" Thomas, who were behind the bat for the Athletics when thev were supreme in the base ball world for so many seasons, ware not as famous as* some other catchers, because they lacked brilliant mechani cal ability, but they were there with the goods to help their pitchers do the thinking in the critical moments, and that is what turns the tide in many a game of baseball. The tendency is to give the pitcher and the men back of him too great prominence. Their work is out in the open, where everybody can see it. The catcher's best work is done out of sight, where nobody but the pitcher can see it. carefully concealed from the enemy. More than one game has been won or lost because a catcher showed two fingers instead of one against the background of his big mitt, while squatting silently behind the bats rr.an. „ What They Did Yesterday; Where They Play Today YESTERDAY'S RESULTS American League Washington, 5; Philadelphia, 3, first game.

Carner, dynamo of trap shooting narrative, tells an old inci dent of the Maplewood shoot. "Usu ally," says he "when a trapshooter has a new-fangled idea or a sight that he wants to try out, he gives the home club boys the benefit of the test; but it remained for George Brown, of Seneca Falls, N. Y., a sea soned shooter, to try a paper tele scope sight in the Maplewood cham pionship—the classic event of the Maplewood Trapshooting Tourna ment. In this event with Brown were ten of the best shots in the East—every one a winner in a Ma plewood "100." The winning of the championship meant SIOO in gold and a diamond gold medal. It wasn't an event in which to experi ment—and besides it was raining, i Brown, however, rolled up a score | sheet to resemble a long tube and j strapped it to the barrel of his gun. j He missed four of the first seven ! teen targets thrown—more than he I had missed in any one day's shooting I all week—and then tore off the wet j tube. Brown finished the event with [ a run of 83 straight Anyone who I can break 83 straight doesn't need j paper tube sights. In the Ohio state shoot. Homer j Clark, professional shot, broke 412 ] targets in succession, 375 the first day of the tournament and 6 2 the second day before missing. Three hundred and seventy-five is the best one-day record. In point of numbers and in tar gets thrown the Maplewood shoot was all that could be desired. There were 126 shooters in competition during the week and 99,275 targets were thrown. Four of the six days were ideal: Jn fact, they couldn't have been better if made to order for the occasion. Maplewood is an ideal place for a trapshooting tournament Any pigeon In the air may be a carrier pigeon flying from a lift under government supervision. Its destruc tion may be a loss to the American Army. All persons, there fore, are "urged to refrain from shooting pigeons and to dilcourage the practice of hunters and of chil dren. Fred Plum, of Atlantic City, N. J., the national amateur # champion at 200 targets, has the honor of being the first shooter to win a 98 per cent, medal of the American Ama teur Trapshooters' Association. Shoot ing at the 2,000 targets required Plum had an average of 99 per cent ' Seven More Carloads of „ Ice Arrive Here Today Seven additional carloads of ice arrived in the city this morning. Seven fir-loads arrived yesterday, and the needs of the city have now been supplied for the last twenty four hours. It was learned from Manager DeWalt. of the United Ice and Coal Cempany, this morning. Mr. DeWalt added that unless the temperature rises to the vicinity of the 100-degree mark, the acute hsortage of Ice experienced here during tl)e last few days will not be | repeated.

IS NEW MOVE • Ways and Means Committee Plans Also to Tax Women's Hats and Shoes Washington, Aug. 14.—An occupa tional tax of $lO a year on every business, occupation and profession ! earning $2,000 or more a year j was adopted by the ways and means committee to-day as h new section of the revenue bill. On whole sale concerns doing a business of $200,000 or more a year the tax will be $25. The only exemptions from payment of the occupational tax are employes, farmers, clergymen and school teach ers. The tax will include lawyers, dentists, authors, engineers and ar tists. No. estimate has been received by the committee from the treasury de partment as to the amount of money the tax will produce. The committee adopted an amend ment to the section imposing a tax on leased wire and talking circuits so as to exempt from the tax the leased wires used by preis associa tions and newspapers and periodicals. The tax will still apply to brokers' private wires and circuits. The committee also adopted an amendment to the income section to provide that citizens of this country residing in Canada or other foreign countries shall pay to the county In which they reside the income tax on that part of the income derived there. The effect of this will be that Americans residing in Canada shall pay to Canada whatever may be due under the Canadian income tax regu lations. The purpose of the amend j ment is to collect the tax from a large number of Americans who have soqght to evade payment by crossing the Canadian line. Secretary McAdoo conferred briefly with Chairman Kitchin to-day and it I was arranged to have him go before the committee to-morrow afternoon to make a statement explaining the reasons for imposing a stiff war prof its tax. It is expected that Secre tary McAdoo will lay before the com mittee a great deal of the secret in formation In the possession of the treasury department showing how some of the rich profiteers have es- 1 caped. The hearing will be execu tive. After Secretary McAdoo has com pleted his statement the committee hopes to be able to reach an agree ment upon the war profits and ex cess profit section, so that the bill will be ready for introduction in the house next Monday. All of the other sections of the bill have been virtu ally completed, and the estimates from the various sources of taxation Umposed are within $500,000,000 of" the desired total of $8,000,000,000. The luxury tax section has been revised and definitely agreed upon by the committee. It is one of the most interesting sections of the bill, affect ing, as it does, a larger proportion of the population than any other schedule in the measure. Here is the full text of luxury section ds it will appear in the final draft of the bill:] "From and after November 1. 1918, there shall be levied, assessed -and collected on the consumption and use 1 of the following articles a tax equal to 20 per cent, of the amount paid in excess of the amounts specified: "Fiber carpets and rugs in excess of $5 per square yard.
