6 SPANISH INFLUENZA PUTS BAN ON ALL FOOTBALL CONTESTS SCHEDULED HERE TODAY Big Leaguers Will Tour Front For Benefit of Pershing's Men Paris, Oct. s.—While there will be no visit to the American Expe ditionary Forces by any all-stpr team of big leaguers front the states, something better is in store for Pershing's host of real baseball fans if present .plans of the Knights of Columbus and Y. M. C. A. are carried through to success. Arrange ments are now under way to form a picked team selected from former major league stars now in service "over here," and a definite an nouncement of.its makeup may be forthcoming any day. General headquarters, at the re quest of the K. of C officials, is en deavoring to arrange it so that the men chosen can be released from their unts on detached service for the duration of a tour throughout the A. E. F. The probable personnel of the team is as follows: Catchers —Color Sergeant Hank Gowdy and Regan, ex-Cincinnati. Pitchers—Corp. Grover Cleveland Alexander. Sherrod Smith, Leon Ca dore. Lambeth, of Cleveland, and Noyes. of the Athletics. First Base—Dots Miller, of St. Louis. Second Base—Johnny Evers, K. of C. athletic director. Third Base —Cy Bates, Athletics. Shortstop—Chuck Ward, Brook lyn. Outfield—Menoskel and Rice, of Washington; Miller, of Cleveland, and Lee Magee, of Cincinnati, Y. M. C. A. athletic director. It is believed that practically all these men can be released tem porarily for the project, and, to dis play the democratic principle, two officers probably will serve as utility men—Lieutenant Eddie Grant, for mer shortstop of the Giants, and Lieutenant Moose McCormick, once famed pinch hitter of the same club. Miller, the former Cleveland out fielder, has seen more real action than any others of the array named. He wears a D. S. C. aver his heart and has been wounded twice, but is well enough to help in mapping,out the details of the tour and probably | "Inside Stuff" About Famous Trapshots FromTotn Marshall There are Kings in the trapshooting world —men who are shooting experts under all conditions, climatic or per sonal. Contesting through a succes sion of registered tournaments cover ing months of time; shooting at thou sands of targets, thrown at different angles and velocity, over grounds of different contour, in a job lot of wind and weather. Men are able to concen trate and so direct the muzzle of their gun. pointing it at flying targets, not to exceed four inches in diameter, that there are less than three mistakes in judgment on every 100 targets shot. The computation of averages for the season of 1917 crowned Wm. H. Heer, of Giithrie. Oklahoma, amateur cham pion of the United States, breaking 97 41 per cent, on 2,050 tarkets. Hes ter German, of Aberdeen, Maryland, annexed the professional season's championship, with an average of 97.65 per cent, on 6,285 targets. The above marvelous records are a testi monial to the skill of the Kings, cou pled with perfecti<#i in guns and shells as furnished by American manufacturers. William Heer, the present amateur champion, was formerly a profes sional hailing from the Sun Flower State. He spent his boyhood days on a farm about eight miles from Con cordia, Kansas. A vein of coal was discovered on the home farm and Billv became a miner. This work was strenuous and he seldom swung Indian clubs for necessary exercise. Six foot two in height, without an ounce of superfluous flesh, muscles like steel, j always trained to the minute. He bundles a shot gun with the ease a Chinaman manipulates chop sticks. Of a quiet, diffident disposition, lie avoids the spotlight of notoriety. His serious turn of mind at times ap proaches the taciturn stage. Having formulated an opinion, he is slow to change his line of reasoning. At the score he is immune from grandstand tactics, never evinces nervousness by 'an outward show, his nerve control is wonderful when under the whip. Breaking or missing u target he turns from the score with the same sphynx llke expression. When a trupshooting defy was is sued to the world by the Pacific Coast contingent, matching Frgnk Troeh, of Vancouver, Washington, in an in dividual race against all comers at 500 single sixteen-yard targets for a $4,000 purse, Billy Heer was the man selected to pull that David work against Golaith. He went forth with his little sling-shot, properly, fitted with a pebble, and "brought home the bacon," defeating Troeh by a score of 473 to 470, the narrow mar g4 of ■three targets. Heer qualified as a contestant in the national ami t< ur championship in 1918, by winning the Oklahoma state championship. In the finals lvld during the Grand American handicap in Chicago he was successful over the field, breaking 98 targets out of a possible 100. He was tied by F. S. Tomlin, of New Jersey, who succumbed to the prow ess of Heer in the shoot-off. Wm. H. Heer is justly crowned the national amateur champion. Lester German, of Aberdeen, Md., landed high in the 1917 season's aver ages with 97.64 per cent. He certainly demonstrated the fact that he pos sessed all necessary professional championship qualifications. German has been identified with the sporting world for many years.

Yesterday Pitcher Plank, main dynamo in Steelt'on's winning the Steel League flag, was handed a solid gold watch at the conclusion of a banquet for his victory at Marsh /Run in the liveblrd match.

The scheme is to have the stars go the rounds of divisional teams, hospital staff nines and other aggre gations, "for the benefit of the serv ice." Particular attention would be paid to stops in hospital towns, so that the wounded and convalescents may have plenty of chance to see the games. The opening contest probably will be played in Paris ugalnst an all-star team picked from the Paris league. . The Knights of Columbus have offered td outtit the touring team, uniforms and all, even to the pro viding of two regiilar umpires. Hank Towne, of the Western League, and Leo Donnelly, of the American As sociation. Charles Rigler, former National League umpire, has Joined the Y. M. C. A. forces as a physical director, and if he arrives here in time, it is likely that he will be made umpire ln-chlef of all the games. The Y. M. C. A. Is to see to it that all the teams which go up against <he all-stars will have plenty of equipment. One recent shipment of goods by the "Y" included 132.000 baseballs. 24,000 bats, 1,500 catchers' masks, 2,500 catchers' mitts, 15,000 fielders' gloves and quantities of miscellaneous para phernalia, such as chest protectors, bases and home plates. Any doubt as to the attitude of the American soldiers toward the professional ball playovs not yet in the service is removed by this edi torial comment in Stars and Stripes, the official publication of the A. E. F.: "There won't be any hand-picked team of professional but civilian big | leaguers coming over here to Europe to play ball for the A. E. F. Any big leaguers who want to play for and with the A.'E. F. have first got to hold up their throwing arms (un less they're southpaws) and swear to defend the United States against all enemies whatsoever, just like all the rest of us, and don the uni form of Uncle Samuel's team." behind/the bat, they put up a front that assisted materially in landing the pennant. His success on the diurnond and before the traps is due to his ability to concentrate —at all times having his "Block" under perfect con trol, weighing up and taking advan tage of every angle that might perch success upon his banner. His debut as a scatter-gun artist was made upon the flats adjacent to Chesapeake Bay. in pursuit of ducks, the feathered aces of the air. Finally persuaded to "have a try" on targets, his me teoric trapshooting career was launched. His ability to rapidly com pute angles, leads, elevation, dips and velocity, putting into immediate ac tion every necessary faculty, requisite for a successful finish, attracted the attention of the DuPont Powder Com pany, who immediately put him on the payroll as a professional trapshot. Ex perience in the pitcher's box, bk> pinch-hitting proclivities, eliminated stage fright, making him a most for midable competitor. He is an inde fatiguable student of the game. His timely advice has started many ama teurs on the highway to successful shooting careers. Apylying the laws of cause to effect, he studies ground contour, flight of targets, wind veloc ity. At the score he spits upon his hands and rubs them on the ground, stamps and paws the earth, hunting a comfortable place to stand, thus his baseball habits are accentuated. Com pletely lost to the grandstand, he leans forward, his massive frame al most rigid, he calls "pull" in a fog horn voice. You now have a mental picture of the amateur and profes sional champions as they appear after winning 1917 season's average?, as the writer has seen and studied them from a ringside seat. Question: How far would buckshot be effective fired from a 12-gauge shotgun? Why don't you give us an article on shot guns for trench work?. Charles Martin. Answer: Buckshot would be ex tremely discomforting at 100 yards, discouraging at 75 yards, and . mos,t disastrous at 60 yards. Will write an article in the near future, exploiting the effectiveness of riot guns loaded with buckshot In trench warfare. Question: Is ther# any interest in wing shooting in the U. S. Navy? Do they shoot aboard vessel or on shore leave? Memphis, Tenn. James Forsythe. Answer: There are many trapshoot ing clubs now extant in the U. S. Navy. There is a great deal of friendly rivalry. They shoot both aboard ship and ashore. At this Im mediate time Uncle Sam's Jackies are in pursuit of much larger game, upon which there seems to be no close sea son, as they are in the category of hell divers. May they kill the limit every day. Question: Do you know of any per son who has eaten the German carp? How are they prepared? We have a great many in the bayous near here but no one has been able to eat them. If they could be properly prepared it would be a great conservation of meats. Clinton, lowa. Jacob Menier. Answer: I have no intimate friends rwho banquet on carp, considering | them a delicacy. They smoked 1 and claimed to be superior for that I purpose, preferable to fish of finer i fiber. Carp will never be considered a table fish, excepting when made I seductive by low prices. Roan Hal, from Kutztown, brrke the local track record at the Lan caster county fair races yesterday by covering two laps of the half mile track In 2.05 V 4. Directum I, owned by A. S. Shuter, was the only other contestant in the free-for-all but finished second in every heat. Roan Hal, broke the track record last year also by traveling a mile in 2.09U,* but the good condition of the track accounted for the fast time yesterday. Doc McKinney took three straight heats of the 2.19 trot while Jackson Grattan did likewise In the 2.20 pace. Lord Lucre easily lead the five-eighth mile gunning event. Semi-professional baseball flourish ed this year and Harrisburg refused to Join the league. Each city is to have at least two clubs, one remain ing at while the other is on the road. Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh. Cincinnati and Akron have been selected now by the execu tive committees of the National Baseball Federation as cities to be represented in an eight-city league to play semi-professional baseball in major league parks, Saturdays and Sundays during the coming season.

Right here in Harrisburg the steel workers of C. I. and S. put over a ripping schedule, during one of the longest seasons on record; a season marked for fine attendance, fair play and gobs of enthusiasm. These lads went at the sport systematically, and proved that it pays to keep accurate records and be on the job every game. The battles took place after a hard day's work which proves that base ball as a recreation is second to none. The moment the old whistle roared out rushed the husky ball tossers and what they did is printed here to-day. Open Hearth played the best con secutive ball, though Mill No. 2 was coming very strong at the end of the battle. Taking numbers into ac count the list of 300 hitters would compare favorably with the big lea- I gues. The C. I. and S. Company found I that thife daily baseball was a vast | stimulant to its employes and did ! all that was asked to further the j sport. You may believe that the lea gue will be on the Job next year, for it 16 part of the establishment now. Pitching Averages Name. Club. W. L. Pet. Shade, Open Hearth.... 12 0 1000 C.

STORES OF NATION MUST HEED POLICY FOR WINNING WAR William H. Bcnnethum, Sr., Back From Capital With Data of U. S. Aims That Federal government, through its War Industries Board, intends standing solidly behind the promulgations of the lately formed War Service Committee of retail dry goods merchants 1 and department store heads on all matters affecting labor, materials aiyl service of the latter was the statement to-day of William H. Bcnnethum, Sr., of this city, who, as representative -of tlje Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce, attended the meetings of the Cham ber of Commerce of the United States held last Wednesday and Thursday In Washington. The call from the nation-wide chamber to the various Chambers of Commerce throughout the country was for the purpose of forming a powerful war service committee that would be instrumental in reconciling the conservation aims of the War In dustries Board with the interests of the dry goods and department store industries and fdr furthering what ever programs such a committee adopted for the winning of the war. Such a committee was chosen be fore the termination of the meetings in Washington and is composed of eight men of the trades concerned, each a master in his especial fleld. Most opportune and timely of the instructions that are sure to issue from the committee and which has the sanction of the War Industries Board, will be that affecting early Christmas shopping and the impera tive necessity of carrying one's own purchases wherever this reasonably is possible. Shortage of labor, the prime neces sity of putting things directly con cerned with the war first, and the : general need for saving time and ef- ' fort, make this yuletide ruling of ' uppermost importance Just now ' Word has already gone out throijgh the merchants that Xmas packages not mailed to their destinations by December 5 are not guaranteed to be delivered at Christmas. The chances decidedly are against delivery. Al though this particular matter of sending gifts isn't exactly within the scope of the powers of the new ly created committee, it feels it is only fair to all concerned to let pur cfiasers know how things stand in this regard. The almost rigid neces sity, however, of buying with lots of "time room" to spare, comes under their jurisdiction and buyers all over the country, generally are be ing impressed with its importance, j The late purchaser this year will be a disappointed buyer in more re spects than one. Such is the mean ing of this new edicj. of the commit tee. Will Consult Board Outlining the measures which may be taken by the War Service Com mittee Mr. Bonnethum had this to say to-day: "Any measures affecting fuel, mer chandise materials, labor, service, or | any of the 'what-nots' of our busi ness which touches and remedies any complaint that stands in the way of the war's better progress will be put by our committee before, the War! §WEAR TORIC GLASSES Toris lenses afford far greater expanse of view than any other make.

Although we will have recommendatory powers only, what ever we suggest which seems appro priate to the Board will be given leg ality and in force. The new commit tee will have stated meetings in Washington the first of which will occur immediately. Those serving upon it will have to give fully half of their time to the work. It's a whale of a Job and an important one, but the merchants and department store people on the committee will put it over." Mr. Bennethum said that the in spiration for the committee resided in the initiative of the dry goods mer chants and department store execu tives of the country who consider no seeming sacrifice too great or innova tion too radical for saving merchan dising as well as Democracy for America. As an instance of what may be ex pected of the new committee in the strictly conservative field, delegates to the Washington meetings were told by A. W. Shaw, chairman of the conservation revision of the War In dustries Board that 1,000 different fabric patterns had been reduced to 200 in the course of the war; 3,000,000 yards of cloth had been saved by cutting out free swatches, 149,000,- 000 cartons saved and 450,000 tons of steel containers eliminated. Delegates from all the leading cities of the United States attended the meetings held in the new Willard hotel and the addresses they listened ■to came from cabinet officers and men of high station in the war emergency. Noteworthy among the addresses given in Washington were those of the Secretary of the treasury, Mc- Adoo who spoke on "The Retail Stores and the Liberty Loan;" Secre tary of Commerce Redfteld whose topic was "The War Function of Re tail Distribution;" Bernard M. Baruch, chairman of the War Indus tries Board who spoke on "Essential Industries" Fuel Administrator Garfield. The latter let the delegates Into the "secret" of the gasleSs Sun days and parenthetically stated that although more than 30,000,000 tons lof coal have been transported this year than last, so far, there was | pressing need of conserving heat and j light wherever possible.^ Attending the meetings with Mr. Bennethum were William Strouse and Anton Benson, the latter of Bowman and Company both of this city.
