8 FOOTBALL HUSKIES WILL HAVE CHANCE ON THE FRONT LINES PROMISES UNCLE SAM George Cock ill Gets a Draw From Steelton High at Carlisle Skipping gayly, like the festive butterfly, from flower to flower, George Cook ill on Saturday flitted from big league baseball to the at tractive diversion of pig-skinning, and with his usual strategy he man aged to drive the Steelton High school squad a pace that was lively enough to break even with the Car- j lisle High school. The battle raged on Biddle Field before a big crowd, high and low society. Cockill is in supreme charge of the football activities at Steelton and at Cottage Hill he has had his men working along definite lines of de fense and offense, like a skilful tac tician he is. On Saturday the chief trouble with Steelton seemed to be lack og ginger, a failure noticed often with the ball team last sum mer. Like the big leaguers, however, I FIELD GOAL BEATS TARSUS Harrisburg Athletes Grapple at Lancaster, Losing by the Score of 3-0 Considerably battered, but cheer- j ful. the Tarsus School of Gymnastcsi football tourists came back from ! Lancaster last evening after a ! rugged battle and defeat at the hands of St. Joseph Catholic Club, the score, 3-0. The Harrisburg eleven was handicapped by the ab- I sence of "Kid" Shay, renowed base ball shark of Allison Hill, who sud denly flopped to the Spanish "flue." Shay is quarterback and a costly fumble which lost the game would hardly have occurred had he been j on the job. Lancaster outweighed the Tarsus bunch by twenty-five pounds and while composed mostly of green tal- I ent It was in fine shape from much 1 practicing. Tarsus was the aggres- | sor at the start after running the ball near to goal, but usually losing I on a fumble or some other misplay. Neither could cross the line, but , when Meek fumbled and Hertz got : the pigskin. Captain Sterback was j able to hoist a field goal, the only i tally. Euker, Meek, Lick and Fet- , row played unusually fine football 1 for the Tarsus team, while Sterback, Haegner, Hertz and Forberger play ed the best game for the winners. The summaries: TARSUS ST.

For the benefit of gunners who are going after game this fp.ll the following list of don'ts s given: Don't take any chances. The func tion of a shot gun is to scatter shot, out be very careful where you scat ter it. Don't blaze away in haste and don't get excited. Many a shooter has filled his favorite dog full of lead Just because he was over-anxious. Don't point a gun at any person in jest. It is always the gun that "we didn't know was loaded" that goes off and does the damage. The only time to point a gun is when you intend to kill. Don't take every rustle of a bush or a bough to be a sure indication of game. Remember sometimes an in quisitive person has a penchant for being in strange places. Don't carry a loaded gun through tho street or on cars, tiains, automo biles or any other kind of vehicle, or leave it around farm houses to have some child playfully blow a head off. Don't get excited and shoot with out making sure your object is game. Don't shoot until you see the rabbit, and then be sure that he is clear of both man and dog. MONDAY EVENING, the high school huskies had to re spond to the field marshal's demand for more pep, and in the second part of the game Steelton came to life with a mad rush and goal.

Oct. 7.—Jake Dau bert's claim against the Brooklyn baseball club for $2,1J0 salary due to the termination of his con tract on September 2 instead of October 14. as originally provid ed, has been denied by the Na tional Commission. Daubert car ried his contention to the com mission immediately after the playing season ended on Labor Day. Garry Herrmann and B. B. Johnson, acting for that body, dismissed the claim on the grounds that the Brooklyn club was forced to suspend as the re sult of a government order end ing the activities of the club. Daubert submitted evidence which showed he held a contract covering a five-wear period from 1914 to 1918 at a salary of $9,000 a season. On September 2 he was paid $202, which, with pre vious payments, totaled $6,550 for the 1918 season to that date. He tiled claim with the National Commission for the difference be tween the sum and $9,000. V Home Democrats to Support Sproul A significant newspaper dispatch has come out of Chester, the home of Senator William C. Sproul. It says in part: "Many of those who have helped to direct the deliberations of the Democratic organizations in Dela ware county for years have come out openly for Senator William C. Sproul. the Republican candidate for governor. Thomas F. Feeley. a Dem ocratic county commissioner, and a warm personal friend of Judge Bon niwell, has announced that he will vote for Senator Sproul at the elec tion next month. Feeley agreed to support Bonniwell at the primaries, but announced that in the event of Senator Sproul's nomination he would be for the Delaware county man at the general election; that he would not only vote for him at the polls, but would work for him prior fo election day and Feeley has kept his word. "John S. Crego nominated by the Democrats for Ihe Assembly to repre sent the Chester district has also de clared himself for Senator Sproul, while hundreds of others, more or less prominent in the councils of the local organization, declare they can not countenance Bonniwell's plat form and for the first time in their 'ives will cut the head of their ticket and vote for a Republican. "Evidently Sproul will have no ac tive organized Democratic opposition whatever. The Delaware county Democratic executive committee has not held a meeting in months and the members of the committee will take no united fight for their chief candidate."

Catholic Church Will Co-operate in Observing October 12 as Liberty Day As a means of properly celebrating October 12 as Liberty Day. Bishop Philip It. McDevitt of the Harrisburg Diocese, the Roman Catholic Church, has asked parishioners of the diocese to support liberally the Liberty Loan campaign, in a letter to every priest in the diocese made public this morning, the Bishop writes: His Excellency the President lias: named the historic twelfth of Oc tober as Liberty Day. He requests that becoming ceremonies should mark the anniversary of the Discov ery of America, and that the occasion should stimulate generous subscrip tions to the Fourth Liberty Loan. "May I ask you to urge your con gregation to carry out actively and heartily the proposal of the Presi dent, by assuming their pronortion iite share of the mighty burden which the Government is now sustaining? The men of the Army and Navy are offering their lives in the service of the country. The least the civilians at home should do is to place their money at the disposal of the Gov ernment. This oiler should be made promptly and cheerfully, because the Government promises to pay inter est on all loans and to return the principal, though it could, in a nation al crisis, demand the money and prop erty of ever citizen without the as surance of compensation in the fu ture. Not Holding Back American Casualties Washington. Oct. 7.—Renewed assurance that American casualties ure being made public as rapidly us received from Oenerul Pershing was given by General March Satur day at a conference with the Sen ate Military Committee. He said the War Department is behind atyout 15,000 names in announcing minor casualties, reports of which are brought over by courier, but the lists of dead and seriously wounded are cabled and given to the public with the least possible delay. Discussion of the subject was brought up by Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, of Nebraska, who insist ed that the department was holding Everything Green at Highspire When the Birds Began to Fall The family of Green held a shooting match at the Highhpire Rod and Gun Club on Saturday, and although they permitted a few outsiders to peek in there was not much to the event but Greens, H., N. and R. When a Green lay hjs orb along the sight everyone else turned blue, and it was It. Green who finally complete ly shrouded the assembly by assassi nating twenty-tive birds out of twenty-live. Following closely on him, Herbert Green decimated twenty four birds N. Green did not get into the high gunner class, but he was no slouch at that. G. Shambaugh uud A. A. Gross tied for third cup, each breaking twenty three out or twenty-live targets. In a twenty-target shootoff. Nhambaugh won by breaking nineteen out of Ty stuck on the base. "La Porte, who got my throw, sauntered toward our pitcher. 'I he latter had his back to the plate, anil was chatting with La Porte. La Porte, as players unthinkably do at times, tossedathe ball up ill his glove, about a foot or so. He did it again. Cobb was standing carelessly on third in the meantime. "The moment La Porte tossed trte ball for the third time Cobb broke for the plate at top speed. I never saw anything sprung more suddenly. Instantly there was shouting and confusion. I yelled for the ball and LaPorte, startled, failed to see Cobb, and didn't know where the play was being made. By the time the ball finally reached me, Cobb had slid In and was brushing the dust off '..is uniform." This recalls another bit of instan taneous thinking Cobb worked in an exhibition game against the Cubs a year or so ago. He had singled to center and halted at first base. He watched Williams pick up the ball and saw him casually cock his arm to toss it back. In a flash he realized Williams was about to toss it rather than throw >t hard, and darted for second immediately. Ho got there about the time the ball reached Pet Kilduff, and at'd safely. up the names unnecessarily. General March explained that be cause of communication difficulties in France and the extent of the fighting there Is some delay in checking up at organization head quarters and at receiving stations and hospitals back of the lines. He pointed out, however, that, although iust across the channel from the theater of war, England experiences a delay df approximately four weeks in making public casualty lists, less complete than those given out in this country. There* was nothing. Senators said after the conference, to indicate the extent of the American casualties in battles now raging. Reports re ceived by the department show that the fighting has been intense and that the German resistance on the American front near Verdun was stiffening as a result of the sending forward of heavy reinforce ments. Since General Fnch began his of fensive on July 18. the Senators were told, the Allies have recovered between twenty and twenty-five per cent, of the territory held by the Germans. j Grover C.

Marshall Deep sea fishing with the boys at Camp Logan, Corporal Matt M. Simon, of Chicago, writes from Houston, Tex., of a fishing trip en joyed by three "Sammies" from the 122 d Field Artillery, at Seabrooke, about 32 miles from Houston, a very popular fishing resort. He writes as fluently of his catches as an old timed descendant of Ike Walton could reel off around a country store. "We had a bully ride over wonder ful roads, got to Kema about 10 o'clock, were ferried across the channel of C'err Creek. A big string of fish had been caught, but that did not stop us from gathering some shrimps, which are most excellent bait, renting a couple of poles and a boat, hieing away to the fishing grounds keen for the fray. We pull ed near the shore and located a beautiful iridescent jelly fish, which we at once captured with a landing net and photographed, this Is to be marked Exhibit 'A' and introduced as evidence. We caught flounders, which, as you know, are flat, with both eyes on one side, speckled trout and sheephead. We were most in dustrious, the fish were accommoA dating and we soon had a bountiful string of fish. The catching of the scaled boys afforded us excellent sport, as this was our first experi ence in salt water fishing. We had , a most enjoyable dinner, the piece de resistance was crab gumbo, this being the first time 1 had eaten crab meat in any form. Between now and the next time I am introduced ' to this delicacy, I propose taking a series of lessons in safe cracking, thut I may be able to separate the crab from his armor. Crab gumbo seems to be a popular Southern dish. Our meal was then composed of a series of courses of fish, assorted, cooked in numerous ways. Fjsh eat ing was my long suit, but I did jus tice to this shore dinner. We again fished during the afternoon, but our •only catch was a blow fish, which, when taken from the water, puffs up like a pouter pigeon, accompany ing the inflation with a subdued whistle as though calling attention to his act. Our leave of absence be ing limited it was necessary to cut short our fishing trip, which will go down in my mental history as one of the red letter days of our lives. Will soon be 'over there,' throwing a harpoon into the Boches, and hope j to be in at the final round up, when [the Yankees will be utilizing Berlin jas a pleasure resort.

Football will be one of the most popular sports in the various army and navy training camps this autumn, if re ports received by the War and Navy Departments' Commission on Training Camp Activities from the athletic directors are any criterion. Jinny colleges and preparatory schools have announced that foot ball will be tabooed so far as academic und collegiate matches are concern ed. Most of the college football stars of previous years have enter ic the service, and us a result the Training Camp Commission athletic directors are making extensive plans to utilize these men in the forma tion of championship divisional, regi mental and company elevens. .although the galaxy of former college football stars that twinkled last season in the uniforms of the various Naval Station elevens has ceased to shine, many players being transferred to active sea service, ath letic directors are confident that the teams will be even better than a year ego. Preliminary reports received by 55' alter Camp, head of the Athletic Division of the Navy Commission on Training Camp Activities, make it clear that football will form the principal feature of the fall program for sports in every Naval Station from Machias, Maine, to Miami, Florida, on the Atlantic Seaboard, and from Puget Sound, 55'ashington, to San Diego, California, on the Pacific Slope. Installed in 'the Naval Station by Mr. Camp as athletic directors are a dozen coaches whose names are fa miliar to followers of the gridiron sport. Calls for preliminary prac tice have been issued by these coaches, and from all accounts the response has beenl gratifying. In the First, or Boston? District, George V. Brown, for fifteen years athletic organizer for the Boston Athletic Association, is forming a league among stations in the district, and p score of othe. station football units will be formed immediately.
