In some measure the Saturday Steel
League games were fortunate for
George Cocktll's big leaguers, since
Bethlehem, with Jeff Tesreau. trim
med Wilmington, chief contender in
the race, so that Steelton's defeat is
not so disturbing. The Pointers hit
Plank hard, collecting two hits, and
Roth maintained his reputation of an
able twirler.
Fewster was the prime Joy-killer
for the Point, bringing in a run in
the first when he opened with a
double. On Russell's sacrifice he took
third. J. Walsh singled to right, went
to second while Brown was being
thrown out at first, and later scored
when O'Rourke laced a single into
left.
In the third inning Fewster opened
with a single was held at third while
Lefty Russell was being thrown out
at first but again scored when J.
Walsh's second hit. a single to right,
a double play then prevented further
scoring. The fourth inning the
Pointer scored the deciding run on
O'Rourke's single. High attempted a
sacrifice but popped to Knight- D.
Waish tripled to right and O'Rourke
scored. Steelton collected two runs
in the fourth inning when Knight
singled and scored on Kauffman's
home run drive. The features of the
game were the fielding of Fewster
and McCarthy and the hitting of
Fewster. D. Walsh and Kauffman.
Steelton overlooked some swell
chances to win, Kauffman being left
stranded at third after lifting a
triple, and Edmundson was similarly
treated when he hit a three-bagger in
the fifth. The score:

Liberty Motor and Ralph De Palma
Break World Records at Sheepshead
As Barney Oldfteld stepped out, t
Ralph De Palma, the brown-eyed, |
dark-haired Italian magician of the
motor, has stepped in. Piloting a j
Packard special, propelled by one I
of the new Liberty motors, he won j
on Saturday at Sheepshead Bay j
the International Sweepstakes in!
straight heats before a throng of j
30.000. Circling the big bowl at a,
clip that dazzled the spectators and
left all contestants in his wake, De
Palma convincingly proved his skill j
and daring as a driver and demon
strated that the Liberty motor is I
the best on earth.
Five other world-famous drivers.
Ralph Mulford, twenty-four hour
king; Dario Resta, of England, the
speed champion of 1915 and 1916;
Arthur Duray, of Belgium, who j :
drove 147 miles in an hour over the
straightaway course at Ostend in
1913; Louis Chevrolet, of France, |
the Speedway champion of 1917. and j ■,
Ira Vail, of Broklyn, challanged i
the superiority of De Palma. Mul- j
ford finished second, Resta third
and Duray fourth. The other two]
starters did not complete their stint.
The contest was run in five heats
of two miles, ten miles, twenty miles
thirty miles and fifty miles, and in |
each the cream-colored car of De i
Palma shot with cannonball speed
up the aire tch ahead of the field.
Speedway records were wrecked by
Ralph in four of five* heats, and in
one of them two former marks were
shattered to smithereens.
De Palma started his assault on
Father Time in the opening heat
of two miles, in which he whizzed,
across the line in 1:05.60, seven and
one quarter seconds faster than the
former record made by Resta at
Sheepshead bay last year.
Then De Palma drove ten miles in
5:23.80. exactly one second better
than his own world's mark of
5:24.80, made in Chicago last July.;
De Palma covered the last two miles j
of the heat in 1:02.2, surpassing the
record he had made a few moments
before in winning the first heat. It:
was the fastest competitive two j
miles yet driven on a circular track.)
though in a special time trial in:
Chicagi on July 22 De Palma was!
clocked for two miles in 1:02. I
Yes, Says Tom Marshall,
Marksmen Use Both Eyes
Question: Do professionals shoot
both targets and game with both
eyes open? i
Champaign, 111. C. H. U. I
Answer: Yes. most professionals
shoot with both eyes open. They
point a gun as you would point your
index finger or shoot with a bow
and arrow at a moving object.
Question: Are twelve or sixteen
bore guns best for small game
Davenport, lowa. JOHN CLARK, j
Answer: Twelve gauge are the!
standard size for general shooting
and preferred on account of ammu
nition being much easier to get in
outlying districts The smaller \
gauge guns are lighter to carry, but
require much greater accuracy.
Question: What is the best target
load for singles and doubles?
Keokuk. lowa. J. Y. MINER, j
Answer: The successful trap shots;
for the most part use 1' ounces of;
| chilled shot, three drams of bulk orj
• ?6 grains of dense powder.
! Question: Has trapshooting been j
endorsed by the government?
Muscatine. la. JOHN GARNER, i
Answer: Yes. by establishing
I school in cantonments and ground
i schools. The Acting Chief of Ord-:
j nance at Washington, D. C., also ]
I eulogizes trapshooting as an educa-
I tor of soldiers, who are 70 per cent,
j efficient for trench or field duty!
when they become expert shots and
| are always awarded positions of hon- I
or. Many of the large guns and
| most of the rapid fire, are handled !
]by former trapshots. who have on
i even.' occasion given a good account
of themselves.
i In the third heat of twenty miles
De Palma crossed the line In
10:51.60, a little more than a second
slower than the record. In the
fourth heat at thirty miles, however,
the iron-nerved Italian again put
Father Time down for the count,
crossing the line in the remarkable
time of 16:332.20. It carved two
minutes twenty-four and nine
tenths seconds from the former fig
ures of 18:56.10, set by Johnny Ait
ken at Indianapolis several years
ago. •
De Palma's final record-wrecking
feat of the afternoon came in the
last heat, when by a tornadic burst
on the last lap he suceeded in pass
ing Mulford and Resta and crossing
the line in 27:29.20. It shaved 45.43
seconds from Resta's former best on
record figures made at Sheepshead
last year.
In the two-mile race De Palma
averaged 110 miles per hour; in the
ten-mile race. 111 miles per hour;
in his fifty-mile race 109 miles an
l hour. In the last two miles of the
ten-mile race De Palma skimmed
around the huge wooden saucer at
the astounding pace of 115% miles
per hour.
De Palma will next be seen in
competition at Unlontown, on Labor
Day. when he will again meet Resta,
Mulford and Chevrolet. An an
nouncement to-day states that Ed
die Hearne will be in this classic.
He won the first autumn classic last
fall, one of the most gruelling exhi
bitions ever witnessed. Huge chunks
of rubber having been torn from his
tires when* he crashed through
wreckage following Gaston Chevro
let's sensational accident, Hearne
was subjected to severe torture as
lap after lap was ticked off by his
Speeding Frontenac, which made the
victory run without a stop. The
vibration caused by the continual
bumping as a result of the rough
tire and transmitted to the steering
wheel, tore into Hearne's hands
until they were cut deep into the
flesh when the race had been won.
Hearne is a popular favorite at
the Uniontown track and he has
hundreds of friends who will back
him to the limit in the race Labor
Day. ■
THEY'RE OFF
AT KUTZTOWN;
The Circuit Racing of 1918
Starts There Tomorrow, to
Continue For Ten Weeks
Harrisburg and all its neighboring
towns are, greatly interested in the
fair circuit races of 1918. which
start to-morrow at Kutztown, and
the Philadelphia & Reading Com
pany were making preparations to
day for a big crowd which usuallv
takes the morning train for the
scene of activity. Dillsburg, Pro
gress. Carlisle. Linglestown, pal
myra and a, host of other places con
tribute their quota of attendance and
some of them the rare horse flesh
which competes.
With the Kutztown meeting ten
straight weeks of• racing, and the
followers of the trotter and pacer
watch the results with keenest con
cern. for the horse is not extinct by
any means, no matter how popular be
the motor. The best horses from this
state. New Jersey, New York, Dela
ware, Maryland and Ohio compete at
these races, the rich stakes attract
ing the speediest performers.
The various fair associations will
hold their annual fairs and races
this year, with the single exception
of Pot.tstown. which has abandoned
a fair, largely for want of co-oper
ation on the part of the town peo
ple. it having been financed bv out
siders for a number of years.' The
Central Fair Circuit organized last
year, with a membership of eleven
fairs, has but six remaining this
year.
The principal fairs of this state,
New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland,
which .will hold the center of the
state In the light harness horse rac
ing world during the coming months
include: Kutztown. Pa., August 20 to
2.2; West Chester. Pa., August 27 to
j 30; Philadelphia County Fair, By
i berry, and Delaware State Fair, at
Wilmington, September 2 to 0;
Mount Holly. N. J., and Nazareth.
Pa., September 10 to 13; Lebanon.
Pa., September 17 to 20; Reading.

Secretary George C. Bordner,, of
the Kutztown Fair Association, is
very sanguine regaining the suc
cess of this year's Kutztown fair.
The ltst of speed entries, as usual,
are a high class lot, assuring fast
races The exhibits are up to the
standard, both the National and State
Governments aiding fairs this year,
so that much may be learned in food
production and conservation as well.

STARRISBTTRG TELEGKXJPa
NEW WORK TAKEN
UP BY RESERVES
Mori 'of Older Years Will Be
Given Training to Help
Winter's Draftees
Arrangements were made Satur
day by Major Henry M. Stine, com
mandant of the Harrisburg Reserves,
for a new lino of work to be taken
up by the members of the Harris
burg Reserves who have been giving
attention three evenings a week in
this city and in the upper end bor
oughs on Saturday afternoons to
drilling men of draft age. Major
Stine plans to have men beyond the
draft age at present assembled in
various towns and given instruction
so that they will be posted if they
are called and can also act as drill
masters for the men to be drawn
later in the year. The men being
drilled now are all in class 1 and
will be called out inside of a month
or so.
Saturday twenty members of thel
Reserves went to six upper end I
towns in the Elizabethville. or No. S |
draft district, and drilled the drafted!
men. a number of whom will go to!
Camp Lee next week. Captain F. H.
Hoy, Jr., was in charge at Millers-j
burg and lykens: Lieutenant S. E.;
Fitting at Halifax and Williamstown j
and Captain W. K. Moore at Eliza-1
bethville and G'-tz. In addition to i
the facings and foot movements the|
draftees were given some "setting i
up" exercises and the Reserves took j
along some of their drill guns and;
preliminary instruction in the man
ual of aims was given, the work at|
Gratz and Williamstown showing
that the men grasped the way toi
handle rifles very quickly. It was
the first time for this instruction and!
it was offered earlier than usual be
cause of the short time before the
draftees have left before going to|
camp. At several places relatives;
of the boys in the draft age thanked 1
Major Stine for the instruction given |
by the Reserves and the apprecia
tion of the trips made to the upper
end has been general. Next Sat
urday in addition to the upper end. j
Reserves will go to towns In the No. i
2. or Paxtang. board's district which |
may be designated by Chairman Ar- |
thur H. Bailey.
Under the new plan, several men;
have been designated at each of the ]
upper end towns visited to organize!
classes. At Lykens the principal !
of the Wisconisco High school. !
will have charge of the draft- j
ed men and citizens' classes dur- j
ing the week. He was at Camp j
Meade for a time and took charge!
of squad drills on Saturday after
noon.
I Flavel H. Wright, who made the
; Red Cross address at the Killinger!
'community picnic, accompanied the'
Reserves' details to Millersburg, I
Elizabethville and Lykens, explain
ing the army insurance plan to,
, young men of draft age and telling)
i them what Yncle Sam is doing for)
1 their welfare and the protection of'
their families.
To-night a detail of the Reserves'
will be at the Island to drill any'
men from the city draft districts.'
. Captain TJ. V. Harvey will be in j
| charge.

Penbrook Lad in France
With Fifth Engineers
JACOB GARMAN

Chase Probably Through With Major Ball
But Denies That He Gambled on Game
■r
■BP*"*
HAIY CHA'SEW
Hal Chase, crack first baseman of
the Cincinnati Reds, who was sus
pended on charge of frequenting pool
rooms and making bets, has denied
he made any wagers on ball games.
However, he admitted visiting pool
rooms and betting on horse races.
After a conference with President
Garry Herrmann, of the Cincinnati
Club, Chase was told his case would
go before the National League au
thorities. Chase made the following
statement: "I won't dodge the issue;
I visited the pool rooms and bet on
the horses, but I didn't bet on base
ball games or throw down my team.
That is a wild rumor."
Although the greatest first base
man of all time many persons believe
that Hal has played his last game in
major baseball. Chase has been a
trouble maker for every major league
manager he ever played under. He
joined the Yankees in 1905 and was
the sensation of the American League
almost immediately. It wasn't long,
however, before it was whispered
around that he and Clark Griffith,
then leader of the Yankees, were not
getting along especially well togeth
er. In 1908 he quit the club and
signed with the Stockton club of
the outlaw California State League,
and it was with great difficulty that
Frank Farrell persuaded the Nation
al commission to reinstate him in
1909.
Chase behaved pretty well that
year, but the following season found
him in serious difficulties with
George Stallings, who accused him of
deliberately missing signals and in
other ways 'lying down" on the Yan
kees. It was largely because of
Chase's machinations that Stallings
was dismissed qs manager of the
New York club toward the close of
the 1910 campaign after steering the
Yankees into second place. Chase
managed the team during its post
season series with the Giants that
fall, and his blunders went a long
way toward assuring the success of
his National League rivals.
Hal was appointed manager of the
Yankees during the following winter,
but proved a dismal failure as a lead
er, and in 1912 was back in the
ranks, playing under Harry Wolver
ton. Then came the Chance regime,
and more trouble. The Yankees at
AROUND THE BASES
Chicago practically clinched the
National league pennant Saturday. It
increased its lead over New York by
winning both games of a double
header from Philadelphia by scores
of 3 to 0 and 2 to 0, while New York
lost two games to Cinnati.
Chicago won the first game by
bunching hits off Jacobs. Hollocher's
home Tun was enough to win the sec
ond game, but the locals added an
other run by bunching two hits with
a sacrifice fly.
Hollocher, who made four hits in
the second game and who beat out a
bunt in the first game, now has a
record of safe hitting in twenty con
secutive games. Both Hendryx and
Tyler pitched in fine form.
s
Boston Red Sox are not In so se
cure a position as the Cubs, but they
wo na critical game on Saturday, 4-2,
with Cleveland, the nearest rival.
Ruth was hero again, holding the
enemy to 5 hits. Scratch infield hits
by Ruth and Mclnnis in the fourth
off Morton, with one out, followed by
Miller's single to left and Graney's
wild throw to the plate, scored two
runs fot Boston.
Bagby was pitching in the eighth
when Mclnnis's single to left with the
bases filled scored two more runs.
Graney's triple and Speaker's double
gave Cleveland one in the fourth.
Graney's single, an error by Mclnnis
and a fielder's choice gave Cleveland
its second run in the ninth.
Old. Honus Wagner played at a Ma
sonic picnic the other day. The Ger
man made a mighty hit with the wo
men and kids, even though Mrs. W
was present. And honest, the big
fellow looked great! "Working harder
at my coal mine now than ever I did
tn baseball," said he. '
that time were badly in need of a
second baseman, and the Peerless
Leader conceived the notion of play
ing: Chase at the keystone sack. The
experts protested that a lefthander
just naturally could not play the po
sition, but Chance thought otherwise,
and at Bermuda made a determined
effort to convert the greatest first
baseman in the world into a second
baseman of parts.
Chase seemed to be in a fair way
of succeeding when some young
busher crashed into one of Hal's
ankles while sliding into second base
one day and put it out of commis
sion. The injury was not of itself es
pecially serious, but that night, in
defiance of Chance's orders to re
main quiet for a few days. Chase
took advantage of his manager's ab
sence from the training quarters to
go bicycle riding. He had covered
only two or three blocks when his
wheel slid from under him and he
came a cropper which laid him up
for several weeks.
Thesoason was under way before
he could play again, and he soon
made it clear to all the world that he
took no especial interest in playing
second base. He was shifted back to
first but his play fell o to such a de
gree that Chance soon became dis
gusted with him, and in midseason
traded him to the Chicago W'hitesox,
receiving "Babe" Borton and Rollie
Zeider in exchange. He was only
moderately successful with the Com
iskey combination, but lingered with
them until June, 1914, when he
jumped to the Federal League.
The dissolution of the outlaw cir
cuit left him stranded. No club in
the American League would have
any part of him, and it seemed as
though the National League would
also pass him up. Just as the season
opened, however, the Cincino?.'i
Reds, in desperate straits for a first
baseman, offered him another chance
Chase played 142 games for the
Reds that season, 1916, and led the
National League' at bat with an aver
age of .339. He batted in more runs
than any other member of the Red
ensemble, and was the wizard of old
on defense. He was the backbone and
inspiration of the club and stood out
above all rivals as the ranking first
baseman of his league.
Chase started out last season as
though he intended to equal or sur
pass his 1916 record. Along about
midseason, however, he blew and
wound up with a batting average of
only .27 7. He has- done better than
that this year—the latest averages
show him flirting with the .290 mark
—but his hits have not been timely
and have had but little value in a
run-scoring sense. Early in the sea
son he developed a most aggravating
habit of hitting freely with two out
and the bases empty, and popping to
the infield whenever a safe blow
could drive one or more runners over
the plate.
Chase did this so often that Matty
finally came to the conclusion that he
wasn't trying. The lackadaisical fash
ion in which Chase has lately been
fielding his position was another se
rious count against him. IVhen Chase
wants to he can be the most sensa
tional first baseman that ever pulled
a high one out of the clouds or dug
a low one from under the bag. He
has the most wonderful hands in
baseball, the shiftiest pair of legs and
feet that ever graced a diamond, and
does by instinct the things that no
other first baseman of the present
generation has ever dreamed of do
ing. But he either couldn't or
wouldn't play that sort of, ball for
Matty, and so Big Six sent him
home in disgrace.

Allen Swede of Norristown, one of
the most popular athletes aand schol
ars that ever graduated from Mer
cersburg Academy, will enter the
Central Line Otfic rs' '1 raining Ounp
at Camp Lee, Va., this week, along
with 12 other Pennsylvania civi'.ans.
Swede, who graduated from Mer
cersburg last Juno and attended the
School of Inst.'ui'.lon at Princeton
for a time, eni'atej some tima ago
for the Officers' Training Camp and
passed th e examinations. He is under
the draft age.
The candidate for a commission
during his scholastic career was a
marvelous athlete. He was especially
skilled at long distance running and
was ohie of Jimmy Curran's most
dependable runners. He was also an
expert swimmer and won points in
competition with other schools.
Manager Rowland of the Whitesox
has selected the successor of Eddie
Collins, second baseman. John Mostle
is fcis name. He is well known in
Chicago as one of the best semi
professional players of the city. He
played with the Hammonds, as well
as the All-Stars, and was a member
of the Southside team for a few min
utes earlier in the season.
Mostle was signed upon the rec
ommendation of Artie Hitman, former
star of the Cubs and'later connected
with the Hammond club. Charles
O'Leary, for many years with the De
troit Tigers, was another of his
