When the Black Cats of Camp Colt
hook up to-day at West End grounds
with the Kiwanis team, those same
cats will quickly learn that the
enemy is some bickerer, too, and
when it comes to scratching the In
dustrial League teams have it'on any
quantity of cats, Thomas or the kind
that purr under the kitchen stove.
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*. Many
of the players seem to be camouflage
and not the real thing. The revolting

Roamer Beats Salvator's
Record at Saratoga
Saratoga Springs, Aug. 22. —
Andrew Miller's little bay geld- j
ing Roamer beat Salvator's one
mile American record of 1.35 V 4 :
here this afternoon. 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.

"Farmer's Life For Me," Says the
Heavyweight Champion, Jess Willard

JESS VIttAED
Less than a mile from the busy
streets of Lawrence, Kas., as streets
In that town go, is the new home of
Jess Williard, the Kansas plowboy
who has won a fortune and a title
from the pugilistic ring.
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:

Another boost for trapshooting.
The "War Department has authorized

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

"beach," is fairly modest and no
one might complain of the costumes.
Some places allow the one-piece;
others forbid it. The latest disturb

not wearing enough drapery over

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.

Philadelphia, Aug. 22. Standard
