When Kiwanis won last evening 10- 9 against the lowly Baptists, demand ing that the game be called in the sixth on account of darkness, there was bickering. And as for that, it is a cold day when two Industrial j league clubs fall to get up an argu ment. The Baptists had to bo satis fied although they were going strong and might have won In another in ning. The last stunt of the game was a home run from Kohlman's bat. He cleaned the three bases with his gar gantuan wallop. • Over at the Island the West End Jrs. took the measure of tho Newsies, 3-0, and the fact was again empha sized that the Newsies need a t trainer, | handler, nurse or something*.

The soven y ear-old son of Knight Errant and Rose Tree II covered the dis tance in 1.34 4-5. His perform ance was the greatest in the his tory of the American turf. Un passed, he ran around two turns, and during the entire distance received only one slight crack of the whip. When Salvator es tablished the figures which stood for twenty-eight years, he ran over a straight course and was paced for the entire distance. Salvator carried 110 pounds and so did Roamer. To see the popular idol run against Salvator's figures more than 20,000 persons crowded their way Into* the huge course, and when the old fellow came tearing down the home stretch he was greeted with a round of applause the like of which has seldom been heard on a race course in this country. As if by intuition, all knew he was running a rec ord-breaking race, and the cheers were in his honor and not in an effort to make him run faster. But as loud and sincere as was this ovation, it was mild com pared to that which greeted the official time when it was posted on the board. Convention was thrown to the wind. Men of wealth and fash lop left their boxes and hurried to the stand to await the hero's return to the scales. There they chummed with touts and stable hands ob livious of all except - the great thoroughbred. While the thou sands were gathering around the Judges' stand to inspect the won derful Roamer, Miller, the proud owner, rushed onto the track. His appearance started more ap plause.

High above the city on a level with Mount Oread and the university Bite stands this home, a massive frame edifice built years ago by a college professor and opened to the learned faculty of the university. It was a haven for sage.s and an "academic grove" for students. Now these halls form the home of Jess Willard, the farmer, and not the pugilist. From the second floor of the old home, where years ago faculty mem bers and their families descended for formal tea in full dreee and party gowns, now comes the mountainous Jess at 6 o'clock in the morning, clad in a red flannel undershirt and faded blue overalls. And then comes Mrs. Willard in her brilliant purple trou serettes ready for her day of farm work. Jess Goes Milking Later five pairs of tiny feet clatter down the uncarpeted stairs, and the day is started for the Willard fam fly. , . ... It is tho usual farmer's day. with Jess ambling to the barn with his two shiny milk pails, prodding bis two bony cows and pitching hay to his two horses with his million-dol lar hands, inside the house Mrs. Wil lard labors much the same as other mothers do. burns her fingers. scoMs even Jess. Jr.. the "real fighter" of the family. To the quiet of this fifty acres Jess has retired —only temporarily, he in sists. It is here, in his blue overalls, faded at the knees, like those of all good farmers, that he pitches hay. The peaceful haunts are the dream of his youth and in the sultry Kansas breeze he works harder than he has since the time he was a farmer, not by choice. Whnt Jess Thinks of Scribes In a single breath he dismissed sporting editors who have criticised him all. too harshly. "What do I care for those scrib bers? I've made my money. Let 'em talk." And that was the fight as far as Willard was concerned. But When It came to farming the pugilist was enthusiastic. "You know. I haven't been on a place like this for years. It's Just like old Pottawatomie Crfrifhty, where I used to work. Chicago!! Shucks!! Whv, Kansas la the only place in the world. Me and the wife were raised here, and by Jings, we're going to stay here, too. Chicago's no place to raise kids. They had to chase to the shows every night Just for some thing to do. D'you know what we do at night here? Why, we Just sit around and talk and enjoy onr place. This is living." Acta the Born Fanner Afld then when Jess took a ramble over the pasture any one could tell that he was a farmer. He dragged his feet, the ones that had been so active In the Johnson fight, and plunged through the tall grass Just as every farmer does. "Look at those hills there. See all that buck brush. That's all got to come off. Before long I'm going to turn sheep an' goats on It. And, say," next Spring won't this be some pas ture?" As Jess wan returning: the houee he spoke of the pleasures of a city after week* and months on the farm. "The other day I went to Kansas City Just to fool around. Me an' the wife and the kids all motored down. and it was the best ride I've had for years. We went to the park an' lis tened to tl|e band and took the kids riding on the miniature train. But, you know, they wouldn't let me get on, even after I had a ticket." Lawrence Kids Know Jess But in Lawrence proper Willard is a lion, a pugilist, a good fellow, and a farmer. Riding from his new home to Massachusetts street there are, perhaps, more than 100 boys along the roadway. To these Willard is a wonder. They call him "Jess," and wave their hands in the most inti mate fashion. To the busine'ss men Jess is a good fellow, to the few Kansas University faculty members whom Willard has met he is a pugilist, and to his neigh bors the fighter is a farmer. In the lobby of the Bldrldge house, where Willard lingers On his frequent visits to town, he meets his old "friends," ..traveling men from Kan sas. To these the other day Willard was talking of his private life. Cuts His Way Into Shorn "I always try to keep out of argu ments, keep cool, and just live. I might get sore, and I might want to hit some one if I argued. I haven't even wanted to double up my fists since my last fight, but I have wanted to use my open hand sometimes on those five kids of mine." And Willard was cool, sitting there in the hotel lobby In his soft silk shirt, chatting of everything except "the ring." "Lawrence is a fine town, but there is one objection. I can't get shoes to fit me," he said as he crossed his legs and 'pointed to a hole he had cut in the leather "so he could get Into" his expansive shoes. Invests In Two Phonographs To a host of visitors Willard and his wife open their home every day. The callers drop in more to see than to talk, Willard believes, and so he walks the floor before them and then sits down in one ot the big leather cushioned chairs—the only style of furniture that Willard has In his liv ing room. For some of his more en tertaining gueßts Mrs. Willard pome times plays one of her two phono graphs—one for the children and one for the grownups. Jess, Jr., is four years old, master of the front yard and assistant super intendent of the back yard garden. Mrs. Willard hoes her own small patch of corn. As soon as breakfast is over she hastens to the plot and begins "military maneuvers" against weeds. In her perky straw hat and her gardening trouserettes she works until noon. Meals are little trouble for her. They consist chiefly of garden pro duce, eggs, and cereals, and never meat, Jess emphasised. INFANT DAUGHTER DIES HummelMtown, Aug. 22.—The three month-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Cobaugh, died on Tuesday morning. Funeral services were held this afternoon at two o'clock. Burial was maade in the Hummelstown cemetery. Kill the Crow, Slogan For Every Marksman Did you ever try to shoot a crow? If not, why not? Well, then, it Is never too late to be gin, and tin the interests of food conservation and for the protec tion of insectivorous and game birds valuable prizes are soon to be offered for the carcass of the crow. The crow campaign is being conducted by the greatest powder-making concern in Uncle Sam's dominions, and appropri ate state and national prizes will be offered for those who kill the largest number of these destruc tive birds. The crow is one of the great est destroyers of bird life on this continent. It is an arch-enemy of game .birds" and crops. The Pennsylvania Dame Commission is of the opinion that each crow destroys more wild life annually than any fox, weasel, wildcat, mink or human hunter. During the first several weeks of their existence, the young of game birds and of perching birds are fed on animal food, chiefly In the form of insects, and each will consume daily an amount equal to its own weight. A young crow while in the nest will consume an amount of food equal to three or four times its own weight, and only a small part of this food consists of in sects. Most of it Is made up of the eggs and the young of other birds, which, if left alive, would be of benefit in the protection of' crops. In addition to the harm done in destroying usefql birds, crows spread contagious and Infectious diseases, such as foot and mouth disease. Chow shooting is a fascinating as well as a useful sport. What can be accomplished when the sport is properly organized is il lustrated by the activities of the "Crow Shooters and Would-be Crow Shooters, of Canton, S. D. Each year they hold a crow hunt. In the last two hunts a total of 158 shooters took part and a total of 51# crows were hilled. LABOR PUZZLE SOLVED, STATE BOARD ASSERTS Thirty Thousand Men Placed in War Industries Monthly Washington, Aug. 22.—The Penn sylvania State Council of National Defense, in a report to the National Council yesterday, asserted that in co_-operation with the Department of Labor, it has solved the "complex labor problems" in Pennsylvania. The report cited that workers are being placed in war industries at the rate of 30,000 monthly. Approximately 50 per cent, of the placements were skilled workers for I manufacturing plants, especially those producing war munitions; 30 per cent, were unskilled workers and 15 per cent were office workers. The Pennsylvania Council contended ! the efficiency of the co-opera,tive employment system is indicated by the fact that in September, 1917, before it was put into general op eration, only 24 00 placements were made-in the entire state. It is also shown how the state council keeps in contact with thousands of indus trial firms through a system of! "works" correspondents." Officials here give full credit to! the Pennsylvania Council for its ef fective work in dealing with thej labor situation. They say the Penn sylvania organization has taken rank I as one of the best constructed and j most efficient of the state bodies created to be war auxiliaries of the Federal Government. D. M. Mc- Reynolds, of the Council of National! Defense, who has just returned from Philadelphia, where he inspected some of the shipbuilding plants and other war industries, said: "The energies of Pennsylvania are being employed to the limit for promotion of the war. In no other state have industrial conditions been so difficult, as the situation there in volves every angle of the labor prob lem. The remarkable results achieved are due to a large extent to the close co-ordination of state and federal effort, which has in sured against friction or duplication in any direction." Cardinal Farley Very Low; Breakdown Due to Heat New York, Aug. 22. ""he condi tion of Cardinal Farley is very low, it was stated last evening at St. Pat rick's Cathedral. The Cardinal, who is in his 80th 1 year, has been ill for the last two I weeks, following a breakdown due to the recent extremely hot weather. He is under the care of two physicians at his summer residence in Mamaro neck. * Wounded Soldier Writes From Hospital in France SERGT. WILLIAM FELIX Mochanicsburg, Pa., Aug. 22.-" In a letter to his mother, Mrs. Clara Felix, of Avalon, Sergeant William Felix, who after being cited for bravery on the battlefield, was badly wounded in the battle of the Marne, says that he is now on a fair way to recovery and will probably be sent home for his ultimate convalescence. He says he Is receiving the beat of attention and tells his mother not to worry that he is 'only suffering with a shattered cheek bone," caused by a bursting shell when he was on a charge "over the top," "both legs and right shoulder shot, that Is all." He lay for an hour on "No Man's Land," constantly under shell and ] rifle fire until rescued. JfcUa lieutenant commended him highly for his cool ness and bravery. One of his com rades gave him first aid and after the charge, .which was successful, they made four captured Huns carry him oft the field. Sergeant Felix is well knfawn here as It Is his mother's native home. Miss S. Edith Swartz, Mrs. E. A. Burnett, Mrs. R. N. Riddle and Mrs. Wilbur Forney, of this place, are aunts of the young man. i NAMES OF WAR FRONT TOWNS; LEARN TO SAY Approximate English Sounds of Towns and Rivers in Fighting Zone Most of the places which have been named, in recent cable dispatches I from the western front belong to Ar tois, Picardy, and the lie de France, and so possess local characteristics not common in the rest of France. Many are famous in English history and for centuries have been pro nounced in the English way. In cer tain cases the ancient spelling has ! been retained, while the pronunci- | ation has changed. Sometimes where the "s" has. become silent before "n" or "t," it is still retained; where it has been dropped, the preceding vowel usually carries a circumflex accent. French is an unaccentuated langu age, but the rising inflection given to the last syllable of words often gives the foreign ear the illusion of ! accent or stress. Again, phonetic analysis of a French word often shows syllables where the foreigner's ear detects none In the list, below it has seemed necessary to indicate all i syllables: Acy Ah-sy | Aigny Ain-yee!

War Board Limits Colors of Next Spring's Hats Washington. Aug. 22. Restriction and curtailment or variety in styles, colors, shapes, weights and trim mings of fur and felt hats for men and women for the spring or 1919 was announced by the War Industries Board yesterday, following a confer ence with manufacturers. Colors of fur felt hats for both women and men will be restricted to nine, and wool, felt hats to twelve. Men's hats will be restricted to black, two shades of brown, two of green, two of Steel and pearl. AROUND THE BASES Another boost for trapshooting. The "War Department has authorized each state, territory and th; Dis trict of Columbia to send sixteen men to the Small Arms Firing School, Camp Perry, Ohio, for training as instructors in Marksmanship. The men are to te appointed by the gov ernors and will report at Camp Per ry,. September 1, Following their training, they will represent their states in the national rifle matches, September 111 to 21, and in the Na tional' Rifle Association matches to be held the following week. Never was there such a summer for trouble in determining what kind of a bathing suit is suitable for fair swimmers. Our own local "beach," If one may lake liberties with Eng lish to call Independence Island a "beach," is fairly modest and no one might complain of the costumes. Some places allow the one-piece; others forbid it. The latest disturb ance is reported from National Park, N. J.. where the official censor, Mar shal Wcldon, has arrested dozens for not wearing enough drapery over friend carcass. Finally the swim mers arose en masse, complained to the city council and the Couficil told the marshal to "not to be so techni cal and particular." Alas, poor baseball! She Is get ting dn awful wallop from the Kai ser's war, but wait till she gets on her feet again. Meanwhile, the war has had little effect on other sports, notably golf, tennis and boxing, i though many experts in these are serving TJnole Sam. There was a time when golf was considered an old man's game, but this no longer holds good. So many youthful stars have risen in the last few years that the older men have had their noses put out of joint. Not long ago the average age of the crack golfer was between thirty and forty, but this is not the case at present, the majority of the great players In America now being well under thirty. Chick Ev ans, Robert Gardner, Max Marston, Jesse Guilford. Gardiner W. White, and Francis Ouimet are still young, but even in a few years they v/ill have their work cut out to hold their younger rivals safely. It may or may not be some time before an other national amateur champion ship is staged, but when the time comes it ts not at all unlikely that at least half those who qualify will do.so for the first time. TPhe Harrisburg Republican Club is planning a real game of baseball Public May Get Standard Shoes Philadelphia, Aug. 22. Standard ized shoes for the American public are apparently not so far distant, ac cording to information received from Washington By E. E. Brumbaugh, agept in Philadelphia for tho Tanners' Council. The question of standard shoes In three grades is being seri ously considered, and, while there is nothing official, It seems quite pos sible that the tremendous call for leather which Is certain to follow the expansion of the Army will act as an incentive toward standardizing civil ian footwear. Meowe! Black Cats Here to Claw Up Kiwanis Every live Kiwanlsite quit business to-day to take in the Black Cat fray at West End grounds where the Kiwanis athletes were scheduled to scratch back in a game of our uni versal pastime, at 2.30 o'clock, the receipts of which go to building an athletic hut for Camp Colt.

HERMAN & CO. Makers for next Saturday's picnic at Boil ing Springs, between the single and married men, with Mayor Keister as umpire. Manager George Baillets of the single men's team has his squad out practicing every night, and while the married men cannot get away quite that often for practice games, they are warmilig up gradually for the fray, under the management of City Sealer Nebinger. The Amateur Athletic Union's Na tional 440-yard championship for women was won by Mrs. Claire Gal ligen Finney, of New Rochelle, N. V., in the open and rough water off Brighton Beach to-day, in 7 minutes, 19 4-5 seconds. Mrs. Finney made a record in winning the same event last year at Honolulu.
