GETTYSBURG AND BUCKNELL WAKE UP CITY BEFORE THEY CARRY ON IN ISLAND BATTLE
Sawed-Off Shot-Gun Played Hob
With Huns, Relates Tom Marshall
Over the top! The sawed-oft shot
• gun is the queen of service weapons.
This was the piece de resistance
utilized by the Wells-Fargo Com
pany in the pioneer days of the
West, to guard the bullion and treas
ures. This gun was furnished the
drivers of the Overland Mail and the
Pony Express Riders —the knowledge
V of the presence of the sawed-oft shot
gun, loaded with buck shot always
had a most salutary effect on the
much touted "bad man" or stage
J man" or stage robber, who, we are
told, giggled in the face of death.
The age of progression and inven
tion has given us a more modern and
effective gun known as the riot or
trench shot gun. This is an Ameri
can product, made possible by the
Inventive genius of Browning Broth
ers of Ogden, Utah —men who have
also given us the Browning machine
and rapid fire shoulder rifles. The
latter is a gun which is shot from
the shoulder; weighs 16 founds;
shoots a regulation Springfield cart
-4 ridge initial velocity of 2,-
800 feet per second; loads with a clip
holding 20 cartridges; is always under
the control of the operator; may be
fired a single shot, as is the case
with all auto-loading guns; the trig
ger on this particular gun may be
held back and a continuous stream of
bullets may be fired—a one-man gun,
firing 400 shots per minute.
Bother 1)1<1 Not I.lke Them
The introduction of the riot or
trench gun elicited a storm of ob
jections from the Boches when they
were introduced to the lead wall of
buckshot at the battle of Selcheprey,
April 20th, 1918. A sector of the front
t was then held and advances made by j
the "Sammy Boys," who injected the j
riot gun tobasco at close range with !
such disastrous results that the
dulcet strains of "Kamerad, Kam
erad" floated out on the air and the
* Huns "came across" rather than be
subjected to the baptism of buck- |
shot. The trench or riot guns are |
of both the pump and auto-loading
type, twelve gauge, twenty-inch bar
rel or brush gun model, a six shot,
weighing (with bayonet attached)
about 9 pounds, hand operated, single
barrel repeating shot gun. Loaded
with nine buckshot in each shell,
fifty-four bullets in the six shells,
which can be fired in seconds,
covering a space of nine feet hori
zontally and three feet vertically and
penetrating two-inch plank at 150
yards, requiring less skill and accur-
acy in handling than the service

SATURDAY EVENING,
rifle, the thicker the Germans are
massed the more efTective is the
trench gun.
A Demon At N'lglit
They are equipped with a 1917 ser
vice bayonet which would never be
used, as a Boche would not get near
enough to have his stomach tickled
will! a bayonet when those buckshot
were rattled against his anatomy.
For night work the trench gun is of
inestimable value In digging out
marauders in "No Man's Land." The
trench gun will never supplant the
service rifle in warfare, but as a
short range emergency gun, they are
making their mark in the present
war. Every man so equipped be
comes a rapid fire gun, efficient at
150 yards and most effective when
' raiding the trenches of the Huns.
Shooting 400 bullets per minute from j
each gun, an advance against this
solid wall of lead would be an utter <
impossibility, as the reserves would |
be unable to climb over the winrows
of dead left by the sectors, j
The secret would be to shoot low at I
close range, giving the bullets a |
chance to ricochet. Major General [
Franklin Bell, dislodged the Philip- I
pine Islanders from the tall grass
with riot guns loaded with smaller j
shot.
Yanks Are Natural Marksmen
Native born Americans are natural
marksmen. Very little training and |
instruction along the scooting lines i
makes of him an expert shot. "Like
father like son." Shooting ability is
an inherited accomplishment handed
down from generation to generation,
the art may bo neglected and remain
dormant for decades; the latent flame |
of ability may then be fanned into
immediate life either by necessity or
inclination in a very limited time. A
French general remarked, "No mat
ter how they are pressed or pressing,
those Americans actually take definite
and deliberate aim." Wave after
wave of the German shock troops
were stopped and their advances re
pulsed by the accuracy and delib
erate fire of the Sammies when press
ed. The accuracy of the khaki clad j
boys In shooting Is frequently men- |
tinned by the fofeign military nuth- i
orities. This ability to shoot under 1
the whip is due to the fireside pre- j
cepts of their ancestors. When the
transports landed our khaki clad
bays in France spread a brown blan
ket of soldiers over their blood
drenched fields. The greatest aggre
gation of expert riflemen the world
has ever seen together wefe greeted
by our Allies.

Bucknell-Gettysburg Game

Wolf, quarter; Bream, right end, of
Gettysburg
Gettysburg and Bucknell football
huskies piled into town shortly after
11 o'clock this morning and pro
ceeded to pr6perly take off the lid.
Each college brought with it nearly
their complete battalions of stu
dents in S. A. T. C. service and a
rattling six-cylinder jazz band and
the Capital City woke up to the fact
that fliis was going to be a big day.
Football historians recalled that
Bucknell had trimmed Gettysburg in
1915, 21-6; that Gettysburg returned
the victory by winning 17-0 in 1916,
and that last year the battle was
handcuffed, 6-6. The game of 1916
was notable for the star work of
Both, the wonderful Harrisburg lad,
who made all the scores. And to-day
the event was doubly exciting be
cause of so many local heroes being
in the lineup.
The officials of the game remained
the same as announced, excepting
for headlinesman, which task was
handled by John C. Houck, Ursinus,
instead of B. W. Saul. C. L. Miller,
of Haverford, refereed and Todd
Eberle, of * Swarthmore, umpired.

the start of the game, included;

RISRBAIX HOW LOOMS
Chicago. Nov. 16.—August Herr
mann. chairman of the National
Baseball Commission, and B. B.
Johnson, president of the Ameri
can League, and also a member
of the National Commission, held
a conference here to-day to dis
cuss matters relating to the r fu
ture conduct of professional base
ball.
No hint of the plans the Na
tional Commission members have
In mind for the reorganization of
the sport when It is permitted to
be resumed was given before the
conference, except in answer to
the report from Peoria that the
National Association of Profes
sional Baseball Leagues in annual
session there had appointed a
committee to demand the aboli
tion of the draft, with the alterna
tive bf a severance of diplomatic
relatibns i between the majors and
the minors.
Referring to that demand. Pres
ident Johnson said:
"The plans we have for restor
ing baseball after the war con
template building from the ground
up, and that means the abolition
of the National Association of Pro
fessional Baseball Leagues, which
for years has been Incapable of
managing its own affairs. In fact,
the great majority of cases that
have come before the National Com
mission in recent years have been
minor-league cases on appeal. We
contemplate a reorganization that
will provide a better government
for the minor league than they
have ever enjoyed."
The conference here is said to
be merely preliminary to the an
nual meetings of the National and
American Leagues next month for
the purpose of exchanging ideas
on the necessary steps to reor
ganize the affairs of the leagues.
Charles A. Comlskey, owner of
the Chicago Americans, to-night
said he did not believe that the ac
tion P { the minor leagues In de
