JACK OZAR, CHAMPION WRESTLER, NOW IN STATE POLICE; TECH PLAYS TOME SCHOOL Tech Boys Off For Battle With Strong Tome School At 6.40 o'clock this morning: Percy L. Grubb, uthletic director ut Tech, gathered his squad of demon football ers together at the Pennsy Station and hopped the rattler for Port De posit. where a game was arranged at last moment with Tome School, wmcli will have its baptism in the "treat 'ein rough" pastime for this season. While reputed to be a strong lot of warriors they will probably get something of a surprise' for the Tech bunch, after a two weeks' rest ed as though it couldl scrap—l.eap its weight in wildcats.

Holden in .his book , on Big Game Fish of the United | States ignores the channel cat as a ; game fish. The male is a real care- ; taker and defender of their young, j guarding their nests and eggs, which j are usually covered with a layer of ! stones. Unlike the bass and pickerel | the catfish are non-cannabilistic, pro- j 'ecting instead of lunching u P° r | j their offspring. The Silurida family : of catfish are really a table delicacy. ; They were named after the night| prowling felines on account of their ' long barbels or feelers about jheir j mouths, resembling the whiakers of : a cat. Heads are large with a wide : mouth, eyes are very_small, they are | covered with a smooth scaleless, slippery skin. The Mississippi river produces specimens four to six feet in length, weighing fifty to 125 : pounds. Usually caught in bait nets, , by fishermen, and they command top j price on the tish market as food. The small channel or silver cattish I known to fishermen as "fiddlers" or j "musicians" must not be confused , with "horned pouts" or "bull heads." ; Egypt has a catfish which swims In j reversed position, the belly upward, j When alarmed they immediately re- i v ert to their normal position to es cape more rapidly. Immediately above the little city of Keithsburg, 111., a railroad bridge had been construc ted across the Mis- ! sissippi river. Wing dams had been j run out from both main shores, forc ing the water through a limited : channel under the draw span, creut- ; ing a rapid current below the bridge, | a deep channel which was a mecca for catfish of all sizes. Handlinin'g | was a favorite fishing phstime at this point. With my friend, O. H.

Porto Rico, under the direc tion of J. B. Maccabe. of the War Department Commission on Train ing .Camp Activities, a number of prominent businessmen of San Juan have organized a ar Ath letic Committee, the duty of which I will be to provide the Porto Ricans I now in training for overseas duty with athletic supplies to enable them to enjoy the sports inau gurated by the Training Camp Commission. According to a report received at the headquarters of the Train ing Camp Commission, in this city, the committee was formed at an enthusiastic meeting of business men, at which Mr. Maccabe told of the result ' accomplished from teaching the soldiers how to play football, baseball, and kindred sports. . . , Mr. Maccabe has had two months' experience with the boys at I .as Casas. The majority of the soldiers at the big cantonment never plaved games before the Training Camp Commission inau gurated sporfs at the Porto Riean camp. Now they are playing base ball and football, and are boxing and wrestling, with the same en thusiasm that characterizes the soldiers of "the States." "Aside from the mere fun of the thing." says Mr. Maccabe. "these games bring muscles into play that promote agility in their move ments. Boxing lays the founda tion for the skillful use of the bayonet when it comes to the real work of war. All games tend to develop the morale of the men and keep them cheerful."* The officers of the War Athle tic Committee are: Chairman, Robert H. Todd; office chairman. Lucas Blanco: secretary. C. O.

The object of the second | sight is correct alignment, to keep : one from firing in a twist, before the ' proper adjustment, absolutely worthless in game shooting.

It Is also learned that the employed force, already greater than that existing in brewery is to receive an in crease in wages by the first of the year. Practically the same brewing force, as to size, took up the manufacture of malted milk when beer-making ceased. The sales force of the insti tution, however, was greatly enlarged. Although an Infant industry, upward of thirty men are on the road to-day for this concern. Meanwhile, great herds of dairy cattle in the vicinity of Golden are supported almost solely by the demands of this company for their product.

It was utterly Impossible. That made me wonder if you folks at home realized the difference.

GAME SEASON TO STARTMONDAY Fair Amounts of Small Game in the State; Grouse Pro tected Very Generally between influenza "and war It is not believed that the number of men who will be out in the fields and woods of Pennsylvania for the opening of the Keystone State small game season will be as large as expected. Sales of hunters' licenses w „ er ? r ®P°<ted as brisk to the offices of the State Game Commission have fallen off rapidly in the last two weeks and it is considered here that this condition together with a slackening of the demand for am munition reported by many stores is due to the prevalence of the in fluenza epidemic. It is regarded as certain that the outbreak will keep many residents of the cities who seldom miss the opening day of the bird season from going out on Mon day. Dr. Joseph Kalbfus. secretary of the State Game Commission, says that the bulk of the reports coming to him are favorable. There are' quail where they have been taken care of; the ring necked pheashnt we turned loose have done well and the native birds seem to have season and (here should be some good sport in Pennsylvania is the way ho sums it up. The ruffed grouse may not be shot, but the woodcock will be legal game after Monday. Dr. Kalbfus says that the blackbirds have not all gone yet. Squirrels are so numerous as to be a nuisance to some sections of the state and a proposition to remove the protection from red squirrels, on which there is no bag limit, is being agitated. Gray squirrels are also abundant and so are rabbits in many sections of the state. The wild turkeys, which will be legal game next month, are becom ing "sassy" according to some re ports here and there have been many deer seen, the presence of the ani mals being reported in many sec tions, some of them being in fields and close to main highways. The bear season has opened, but there will not be much hunting of bruin until it gets good and cold. Bears have been giving evidence of pres ence in northern counties. Influenza has tied up all ship ments of young lish from the state hatcheries for planting, but it seems to have sent more men out after the late fall bass and the salmon than usual. And there have been more men out after ducks than is generally'the case in the middle of October.

Play Safe — Stick to KING OSCAR CIGARS " he quality is as good as ever i hey will please and satisfy 7c . .4 it \ JOHN C. HERMAN & CO. Makers who have been bothered considerably by the foreigners who have been dynamiting streams and catching fish with nets, have joined hands with the Game wardens and state police to clean up the illegal liah ers and hunters and to confiscate the guns and other firearms which foreign born men have been dis playing. Thanks to outdoor work few of the fish wardens have been tuken ill with the epidemic, but at the hatcheries the men have been badly hit and all shipments of "sun nies", bass and trout have been cancelled until further notice. "This is regrettable, indeed," said Com missioner of Fisheries Nathan H. Buller, "because the weather is fine for planting fish and we were well on the way to attain the 1,500,000 mark for young trout distributed this year. If we can get the men and are assured of sportsmen be ing at tine other end of the line to receive and distribute the fish we will resume shipments." Gate bass fishing has been pro nounced fair, while the Susquehanna salmon or wall eyed pike have been furnishing some capital sport for fishermen in eastern sections of the state. Autumn fishing seems to be more popular than ever. Dr. Thomas S. Blair Named Chief of New State Division of Control of Narcotics Dr. Thomas S.
