BIG FOOTBALL GAME HERE TODAY WITH TECH MEETING MT. CARMEL; OLD TIMERS SHOOT
Husky Tech Athletes Grabbed
Up by United States Marine Corps
Carl Bock and Kenneth Boyer, two |
of the foremost Tech athletes, lads j
who have greatly aided In putting the ;
Harrlsburg school ahead In state
competitions,, have enlisted with the j
Marines, and will be leaving for
service very shortly. Beck's brother, i
Clarence Beck, the most popular and I
able athlete ever turned out by the ]
city, is now in Italy with the ambu
lance unit which trained at Allen- ;
town. His folks have not heard j
from him in months and are conse- !
•luently alarmed. The younger Beck .
has been sensational in football, as |
right half-back, as also in basketball. j
and he starred in anything he took j
up. Boyer will be greatly missed as j
he was depended on*to be a factor in '
the varsity eleven this year.
Beck and Boyer went through their j
physical examinatrous for the Ma- j
lines like a rat up a pttmp. Not a
flaw, and Beck should be heard of 1
in service athletics, although he is!
not yet twenty years old. Beck will j
help out in football here until ho is j
ailed. j

This was the day for "Old Timers'
cfhoot" at the Harrisburg Sports
men's Association traps. Second and
Divison streets. The gayety started

a sort of love feast, with dozens of ,
veteran devotees of the rifle in at

Hans Wagner Captured
From Germans, Knows
of Pittsburgh Honus
"I happened to be in a little |
town where they had a bunch of
German prisoners" writes Johnny
McCoy, lightweight boxer of
Pittsburgh. "You know Jewish
and this Dutch language are |
pretty much the same, and I ;
started to talk to one of these
guys in Jewish. (Johnny's real
name is Leonard J. Simon, and ,!
he's Jewish). He got me right j
off and we had a regular conver
sation. He showed me his identi
fication tag and on it were some
numerals and his name. His name
was Honus Wagner.
" 'Hans Wagner?" I asked.
'• 'Ya. ya; der baseball man.
he came back, just like that. Can
you beat it? .
"He said the Hans Wagner we
all know is well known by repu
tation in Germany and highly
regarded by the people there."
Pugilist McCoy's brief descrip
tion of the war is not exactly
what you would call cheerful.
"All we see here." says he. "i 3
men going to and from the front .]
lines: men going into the big
scrap with a deveil-may-care air
and others coming out saddened
and more determined than ever j,
that the Hun shall not rule. And j
men shot to pieces. Men gassed.
Remnants of men. It's awful. But '
Just now it's a damned sight more
awful for the Huns than it is
for us.
"The other day a Red Cross
train stopped on its way back
from the front lines, and we
chatted with some of the boys
In it. I asked one of them who
is not yet 20 years old where he
was going and he said, 'Back to
the states.'
•' 'What? Back already?' T
asked. "Gee. but you're lucky to
get out of It so soon.'
" 'What do you mean—lucky?
he shot hack.
"And with that he opened the
door that I might see for myself
how 'lucky' he was. He had two

GUNNER MARTIN
OUTSHOOTS ALL
Pulled Down 284 "Birds" at
Lancaster; Copped First
Honors and Money
Lone hand. J. G. Martin, the gun
ner extraordinary who keeps Harris
burg on the shooting map, carried
off flrst honois yesterday at the Lan-
caster County Gun Club's tourna
ment. He corraled the Class A shoot
for the day with the score of 138;
pulled down 284 birds during the
meet, enough to get high honors, and
won the money prize for Class A
men. Philadelphia shooters follow
ed up the Harrisburg shot, taking the
other class events in handy style.
Henry Powers, of Atlantic City, step-;
ped in the way and took the day's
honors as lur.ner-up in Class A from
Herr, of Lancaster, in a shoot-off-
Powers dropped them ail. The men
shot at 150 birds.
The gallery was larger than it has
been since the inauguration of the
club. While, a heavy wind swept
across the'field hindering the shoot
ers and making the scores smaller
than yesterday's, a bigger field than
at the opening day trotted out. Three
big Haviland airplanes swooped down
over the traps on several occasions,
seeking their landing place at Lan
caster. and drew attention from the
gunners. The winners of yesterday's
money were:
Class A—Martin, 139; Schrimpf,
138.
Class B—Lodge, 137; Willey, 130.
Class C —Wolstencroft, 133; Mel
rath. 132.
Class D—Shiftier, 127; F. E. Herr,
121. '
In taking the high gun honors for
the tournament Martin was kept
busy dodging the scores of Henry
Powers, of Philadelphia, and J. K-
Herr. of Lancaster. Martin hit the
winning side of the tallies by six
birds to the good. Powers and Herr
came through with a 278 tie. out of
the 300, with Powers getting titc
award in the shoot-off by corralling
all of his 25 birds.
Trophies for Class B were award
ed to Lodge, of Philadelphia, with
267. t George Gray, Philadelphia, fol
lowed him for second place. Melrath
and Tyler, of Philadelphia, won
Class C honors for the meet, while
F. E. Herr and H. T. Hambright
walked away with the cellar class
honors.

"Shake" With Mr. Tuna Fish
Welcomes Tom A. Marshall
The Leaping Tiger of the Sea. An
erroneous idea is extant among the
fishermen of the Pacific coast and in
land waters that tuna are indigenous
to the Pacific ocean, specializing in
the Calallna Island territory.
Leaping Tuna are found in the
Atlantic ocean from the mouth of
the St. Lawrence river to Cape Cod,
feeding upon blue fish, menhaden or
herring, the flying fish or squid of
the Pacific are much preferred. The
crescent-shaped tail of the tuna is
dried and tacked above the doors of
longshore -fish houses from Camp
Breton to Swampscott as a talisman
of good luck, supplanting the old
timed horseshoe.
The Atlantic tuna, or horse mack
erel, run much larger than those of
the Pacific ocean and travel usually
in large schools, the weight running
from eighty to 150 pounds, aver
aging about eight feet in length.
They are of record as weighing 1,500
pounds with a length of fifteen feet.
Tuna were formerly harpooned for
their oil, but have of recent years
become a canned table delicacy.
R. C. Moloney*, of San Francisco. !
Cal., the fishing expert of the Pa- I
cific coast, has just returned from i
an invasion of the Atlantic waters, ]
near the Block Island fishing j
grounds located off the shores of j
Rhode Island. He reports the tuna i
of the Atlantic much larger than !
those of his libme waters. He mar- i
vels at the lack of interest evinced i
by the deep sea anglers of those i
eastern waters in the capture of the !
tuna. The absence of desirable tackle j
or trained boatmen.who would cater
to the requirements of visiting fish- I
ermen, no rods equipped with lines !
and reels were available except
through individual ownership. The |
market fishermen along the coast are '
making unusual money catching fish i
for the market, the price being ex
ceptionally good and the demand un- !
limited, hence it would be a losing I
proposition to cater to the require
ments of visiting sportsmen. A move |
is on in fishing circles of the At- !
lantic coast to organize a tuna club,

active membership is the landing of j

ANOTHER PATRIOTIC SERMON
Dr. Robert Bagnell will deliver an
other patriotic sermon In the Grace
Methodist Church to-morrow evening,
ut 7:30 o'clock. He will tellfduring
the course of his talk how the soldiers
in France feel on the Liberty Bond
proposition and of their utter acorn
strikes and strikers.
Ed interest in the sport of tuna fish
ing will develop and the game will
become immensely popular. The
landing of this acrobat of the seas
is no child's play. It is the sport of
angling kings in good physical con
dition and skilled in the use of rod
and reel.
Answers to Nlmrods
Question: Do you consider the riot
guns efficient arms for the trenches?
Notice you have been advocating
their use for several years.
FRANK ZENTMIRE.
Indianapolis.
Answer: They are unquestionably
efficient and logical for trench de
fense and would be equally as ef
fective when our boys go "over the
top." Their adoption make a rapid
fire or machine gun of every man
educated to operate them. As they
can be fired sufficiently rapidly 720
bullets would be launched per min
ute without fear of "jamming" the
gun. No bunch of Huns would be
able to march up in the face of such
a barrage of lead.
Question: What is the best sized
gun for all shooting? Do you con
sider the automatic gun a success,
or are they a passing fad?
Peoria, 111. D 1 Y. S.
Answer: Presume you are asking
about shotguns. My advice would
be to purchase a twelve gauge, as
they are effective for all kinds of
shooting. Ammunition for a twelve
gauge can be secured at any cross
roads store. With smaller gauges
it is frequently necessary to pur
chase in tfie larger cities, where gen
eral stocks are carried. The auto
loading gun is a success from every
angle, and has come to stay.
! Question: Has the migratory
yame law increased the game of the
country? What are the reports for
I shooting this fall?
GARY MACDONALD.
I St. Louis, Mo.
I Answer: Game has unquestionably
increased. When you prevent the
i killing of the parent birds, enabling
i them to multiply, it stands to reason
I there will be an increase. Unusual
J numbers of young birds are reported
| from the breeding grounds in the
I north, this pertaining to migratory
! birds.

and have seen them deal with other governments tliat were parties

They observe no covenants, accept no principle but force and their

given with deafening shouts.
McCormlck Sings Anthem ,
John McCormlck, the opera singer,
: added to the fast increasing enthu

"The Star Spangled Banner." and a
j number of war songs,
j Patriotic fervor seemed to reach
11 its climax when the President arose
• t to begin his address, the audience
' | rising and again cheering for several
minutes. Mr. Wilson read frotn
printed text.
!| For ten minutes after the Presi
dent started speaking the audience
I made not a sound and his voice
II carried to all parts of the tiered
t operahouse. But when he declared
I that the issues of the war "must be
settled by no arrangement by com
] promise," applause broke out spon
; taneoualy. Again when he said "we
1 cannot 'come to terms' with them,"
i there was another outburst and
again when he declared that "Ger
many will have to redeem her char
acter. not by what happens at the
peace table, but by what follows."
Interrupted By Cheers
Throughout, these demonstrations
of approval punctuated his speech
so that at times he was obliged to
pause almost at the end of each
i sentence. The President was driven
' to his hotel Immediately at its con
clusion.
The President in his address em
• phaslzed that the justice to be ob
f tained by a league of nations must
Involve no discrimination toward any
| people. This he set forth explicitly
I In a set of five principles which he
, enumerated as "the oractlcal pro
s gram," of America's peace terms, and
I for the maintenance of which "the
; United States is prepared to assume
s its full share of responsibility."
Five Practical Principles
5 These principles were, he said: '
"First, the impartial Justice meted
j out must involve no discrimination
between those to whom we wish to
be Just and those to whom we do
not wish to be just. It must be a
■■ justice that plays no favorites and
knows no standard but the equal
\ rights of the several peoples con
i cerned.
j "Second, no special or separate in
i terest of any single nation or any
■ group of nations can be made the
1 basis of any part of the settlement
' which Is not consistent with the com
i mon interests of all.
A "Third, therfe can be no league or

impartial justice to a!l rations"
not want terms. It wishes the
dealings."
alliances or special covenants and
understandings within the general
and common family of the league of
nations.
"Fourth, and more specifically,
there can be no special, selfish eqp
nomic combinations within the lea
gue and no employment of any form
of- economic boycott or exclusion ex
ceipt as the power of economic pen
alty by exclusion frpm the markets
of the world may be vested in the
leagufe of nations • itself as a
means of discipline and control.
"Fifth, all international agree
ments and treaties of every kind
must be made known in their entire
ty to the rest of the world."
Mr. Wilson restated the issues of
the war as follows:
"Shall the military power of
any nutlon or group of nations
be suffered to determine the
fortuneH of peoples over whom
they have no right to rule ex
cept the right of foreef
"Shall strong nations lie free
to wrong weak nations and make
them subject to their purpose
and Interest f
"Shall peoples l>e ruled and
dominated, even In their own In
ternal affairs, by arbitrary and
Irresponsible force by their own
will and choleef
"Shall there be a common
standard of right and privilege
for nil peoples and nations or
the strong do as they will and
the weak suffer without redressf
•Shall the assertion of right be
haphazard and by casual alli
ance or shall there be a common
concert to oblige the observance
of common rights f"
He added:
"No man, no group of men, chose
these to be the issues of strug
gle; they are the issues of It."

cesses of American. British and
French offensives on the western

can be effectively neutralized end
silenced only by showing: that every
victory of the nations associated
agrainst Germany brings the natlhns
nearer the sort of peace which will
bring; security and reassurance to
all peoples and make the recurrence
of another such struggle of pitiless
force and bloodshed forever impos
sible and that nothing else can."
"Germany is constantly intimat
ing the 'terms' she will accept; and
always finds that the world does not
want terms." declared the Presi
dent. "It wishes the final triumph
of justice and fair dealing.'"
