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.

DON'TS FOR GUNNERS
Every year the hunting season
brings with it its spoils .in the form
of human sacrifices. 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

Jake Daubert Loses
Claim Against Brooklyn
For $2,150 Salary
New York. 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

"Whistling Fish" at
Camp Logan, Writes
Friend to T. 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. Send me your
articles; enjoy reading them. You
have a number of friends in the old
122 d Field Artillery who will be glad
to read your dope sheet and hear
from you indirectly. Luck to you,
oldtimer."
