Windy Citv fans were in high fet
tle to-day, eoniident. after yester
day's victory over Boston, that the
Cubs would be able to repeat. The
announcement from Manager Barrow
that he would use Mays or Jones
brought the resnonse from Field Mar
shall Mitchell that his clouters would
have an even chance with the latter
and that Jones they could beat. !• or
the National League champs, it was
••Shuffling" Phil Douglass' turn to
work, but there was a chance that
Mitchell would start Hendrix and
keep Douglass for reserve.
The timely hitting and fine pitch
ing of "Lefty" Tyler was the prime
reason for Chicago's victory in the
second game. Tyler made good the
prediction that the Cub southpaws
would be a vital element of strength
for Mitchell. He outpitched Joe Bush
by a wider margin than the score
shows.
There was more hitting in yester
day's game than in the opener, and
the crowd, which was larger by sev
eral hundred, hud more to enthuse
over. The Chicago contingent had
ample reason to cheer the Cubs, whose
batting and fielding was much more
spectacular than that of the Boston
outtit. The Red Sox fielded poorly
and their ragged support defeated
Bush, for it came in the early in
nings, when "Bullet" Joe Bush was
lia\ing greatest trouble.
T' Cubs are a better ball club to
da\ and such is the confidence in
Manager Mitchell that Chicago fans
••are offering odds on their team. Ex
treme feeling has been engendered
the warrior opponents, as
was evidenced yesterday in a bench
mlxup. The trouble started in the
opening game when Helnie Wagner,
ex-captain of the Red Sox, started
"riding" Jim Vaughn. In retaliation
Otto Knabe began picking at Joe
Bush as soon as the latter went to
the inound, and in the second inning,
when the Cubs clubbed the speed
wizard for a trio of tallies, the
scrappy protege of Kid Gleason made
life miserable for Connie Mack's
former moundsman. Vaughn. who
was on the Cub's bench, got into an
argument with Wagner when the lat
ter came over to the coaching line i

safe on a long bounce, tried to trap

1 be highly commended In determin
ing that the receipts of the cham
pionship series games are to be paid
to war charities. The local branch
of the Red Cross at Steelton and the
To Eddie Club In Bethlehem, are to
be the beneficiaries and it is safe to
estimate that the treasury of both
will be swelled by the sum of seve' al
thousand dollars.
While in other big series the play
ers usually share in for a slice of
the receipts, the Steel League play
ers are more than pleased to know
that the receipts are to revert to
war charities and contend that in
addition to making munitions for
the boys overseas they are also do
ing their bit in providing comfort j
and other pleasures for the figh'ing'
"Sammies."
The return of "Matty" Mathag,]
the young Lehigh college star, to the
game has added strength to the Beth
lehem outfield. "Matty" celebrated
his return with the same sterling
playing that characterized his work
when he first donned a Steel League
uniform. As a lead-off man Coach
Keadj finds in Mathag a player capa
bly fitted for this position. In addi
tion, he is a speedy fielder and covers
a lot of ground. "Babe" Twornbly,
who has been assigned to the right
field berth since Walter Holke be
came eligible to cover first base "is
also a college man and with Tommy
iTagner in left field. Coach Keady
1 has probably the speediest and best
working outfield in the league. - None
of the above outfielders are of the
sensational and grandstand type but 1
usually take care of all the work
directed out their way.
The Steelton Band was engaged to
play one hour before the call of

Millenium Via Trapshooting
After War, Says Tom Marshall
Does trapshooting improve dispo
sitions? Without a moment's hesi
tation I answer in the affirmative.
Unquestionably the sport alluring is
a great temper adjuster and cooler.
The effects of trapshooting are far
reaching and varied with men and
women who participate. The first
requisite for successful shooting
ability is self-control under trying
conditions. To curb a tendency to
ward nervousness or petulancy, both
are disastrous to success and must
never be permitted to invade or en
ter into the shooting game as a fac
tor. A person's disposition, where
there is a predisposition to angry
paroxysms, may be controlled by
concentrated mental effort.
Many phases of the shooting game
work contrary to the wishes, desires
or success of the contestants and are
liable to agitate a peevish disposi
tion, which, if encouraged, will be
come a fixed habit and spell con
tinuous defeat.
For example, to continuously draw
an acute left angle target, when you
are shooting from number one po
sition or an abrupt right angle,
when you are at number Ave peg,
is calculated to agitate your spleen,
this if not immediately controlled,
will have the effect of nullifying
your good computing judgment and
powers of execution, which you must
bring into Juxtaposition before suc
cess will perch upon your banner.
The class of people who are con
tinuously successful, carrying a de
cided advantage, are the apparent
stoics in the shooting arena, men
like Crosby and Heer. Based upon
external appearances, you are un
able to guess whether those men
have just finished a century score
without a miss or have just passed
through a "bad half hour." They
specialize on nerves and disposition
control and have succeeded to the
limit.
All trap devotees appreciate the
necessity for pulling themselves to
gether on short notice, hence prac
tice the art in everyday life, having
their disposition or temper well in
hand at all times. Trapshooting un
questionably improves permanently
an erratic disposition.
Another phase of life enters into
and becomes a factor in the sport
alluring, an absolute necessity which
must be adopted, recognized and
gradually become a personal trait.
Sociability and good fellowship. The
most pronounced crab will soon drift
into an accomplished "glad hander."
In this patriotic major sport,
caste must be eliminated. There
comes Into this game an occasional
purse proud mortal, whose ances
tors planted the family tree, blessed
with low hanging branches, which
enabled their descendants, in the
nights of their diseased imagination,
to climb to a social altitude not ac
quired by the ordinary mortal. They
are soon brought back to earth by
those whose anchestors failed at the
logical time to dabble in furs, stocks,
oil or operate a ferry at some fa
vored crossing. We extend to the
would-be high brow, a firm but gen
tle hand, lifting him up to the com-

nion plane, constructed upon a last
ing foundation of shooting equality,
the great leveler of caste and ele
vator of character. A melting pot
for all classes, nonrespector of an
cestors, believers in the "what you
arc to-day" slogan.
The grandest and most patriotic
sport extant, introducing thrills
and pleasures, experienced in no
other manner. A recreation which
soothes the mind and Strengthens
the body, making better contented
and broadminded men and woman
of all contestants.
Our Uncle Sam has introduced
trapshooting Into cantonments and
ground schools, teaching our boys
in khaki to estimate leads on mov
ing objects, in the operation of
aeroplanes, by the aces of the air,
a knowledge of wingshooting is es
pecially and particularly useful, a
fact emphasized by the superior
work being done "over there" in
pulling down the machines of the
Huns. Those boys who have crossed
were not neglected, over 2,000,000
targets and shells were sent direct
to General Pershing for instruction
of our men overseas.
When our men return home,
which will be in the near future, to
peace, quiet and tranquillity, they
will be an army of expert shots.
Then trapshooting will come into
its own. There will be a general
endorsement by those who know of
this great patriotic sport, which
furnishes the greatest diversion, at
the same time fitting the people of
a nation to live in perpetual peace,
due to a training in preparedness,
which is a guarantee positive aginst
militarism, either internal or from
outside sources.
Every man who now wears those
nifty shooting suits, adopted and
endorsed by Uncle Samuel, either
the blue, white or olive, will be an
advocate of universal military train
ing, which means the perpetuation
of national shooting accural
Those boys who have seen
sity for training in shooting skill
fully, will promote and popularize
the patriotic sport, which trains
men along the lines of seventy per
cent, soldier efficiency, as estimated
by General Pershing, in his sum
mary of requisites for efficiency.
The Ordnance Department in
Washington has endorsed trapshoot
ing, this line of sport should receive
universal approval, municipalities
and individuals should promote.
Sections of parks should be set
apart by the Commissioners and a
I battery of traps installed for the
universal teaching of the public. The
trap location should be as accessible
as possible, the danger zone from
the seven and one-half shot used in
this sport is very limited. Every
man. woman and child should be
encouraged and taught the art of
trapshooting, becoming efficient
members of the Home Guard De
fense. Your community surround
ings will be improved, contentment
and good nature will supplant petty
jealousies and idle gossip. Dispo
sitions will be materially improved
and universal happiness will pre
vail. Learn to shoot.

people. Admiral Von Hintze said:
"just as peace came in the east It
will come also in the west. Though
perhaps it will take some time we
need not be discouraged by the en
emy's cries of victory. Among our
enemies the press works under state
control, and the newspaper writer
failing to represent the government
view is simply sent to prison.
"We in Germany and Austria Hung
ary, on the other hand, stick to' a
free press. Even under war's com
pulsion we do not want to shackle
public opinion."
