Some Fun
President Mcyuude is a forty
four degree fan: worst ever. Year
after year he lias timed his vaca
tion so as to be able to accompany
the Giants to the Southland on their
training trips, and there is no more
familiar a figure on Main street of
Marlin, Tex., than this same New
York magistrate, garbed not in the
judicial ermine, but in regulation
baseball togs.
The judge gets out on the dia
mond and plays ball, too, and the
stranger naturally would look upon
him as a member of the huge squad
John J. was wont to have In tow
before the war. The judge also was
frequently called upon to umpire the
clashes between the regulars and the
cubs, but this job never seemed to
appeal to htm. He would rather
get in the game himself, and he
just hated to make a decision that 1
might offend an aspiring youngster
who was dreaming of Coogan's Cliff
and what a record he was going to
make under its shadows.
Magistrate McQuade will not sever
his connection with the city bench j
because he has taken part interest,
in the New Y'ork Baseball Club.
requisite. Former President Taft!
says "This war has taugh't us that !
it pays to be prepared." It stands !
to reason that being now prepared, !
we should remain so.
Uncle Sam's shooting instructors i
| have been most efficient and he is j
justly proud of their work and wants
; the direct benefits of his recent j
j teachings perpetuated. We must j
I continue the encouragement of shot j
| gun and rifle practice, which now I
j constitute America's major sports.
! Municipalities should immediately !
! install traps and secure a liberal I
j supply of clay targets. Our Yankee '
| boys have been practicing on ani- i
j mated moving targets, which were j
I disposed at all times to shoot back ;
j even though they were in retreat I
j The inanimate clay discs or targets j
1 were never known to return the tire j
|or rush a trench. We must give i
our boys a' chance to go over the 1
top in open trap shooting competi- '
i tion and an opportunity to show j
I their acquired skill and shooting '
j ability, taught them while serving

wanted. He will send you a book |
of rules governing the "Sport Allur

Question. Am told that the j
farmers in California employ men, j
furnishing them ammunition," to kill j
and keep geese oft their wheat fields. 1
where could I get a job of that kind? !
EMIL DEMAREST.
Lancaster, Pa.
Answer. There might be isolated
cases of wheat fields where the
geese were annoying the farmers to
the extent that they would be will
ing to pay hunters to protect their
crops. My judgment is, knowing
that bunch of coast shooters as I
do, they would be very willing to
pay the farmer handsomely for the
right to shoot on his premises. Am
afraid some friend has been "shoot
ing the long bow" for your benefit.
Am unable to locate such a position
as you are seeking.

NATIONAL LEAGUE
DROPS WAGE LIMIT
Ban Johnson Opposed It and
so Did Players; Trading
Lively at Annual Meet
New lVk, Jan. 18.—The SII,OOO
I monthly salary limit, decided on two
, days ago by the National League for
| each club, was rescinded at a special
executive meeting of the league
(•members here to-day. The new limit
' decided upon was not disclosed, but
itwas stated that the SII,OOO month
i ly limit was considered insufficient
i and unworkable.
The SII,OOO stuff was destined for
' the ashcan as soon as an-
I wounced. The only thing it did was
to get a laugh from the magnates of
I the American League. National
I League bosses believed that the jun
i ior circuit men would fall, for the
limit agreement, but they were met
l with the well-known cold shoulder.
, Ban Johnson and his pals refused
ito have anything do with the sal
} ary limit, and the only "comment
. that the American League president
I would make was that his league de
| cided the salary limit question two
| years ago. This meant that it would
not be taken up again. This pres
sure brought by Johnson caused the
National men to reconsider the rule
and drop it.

.Ring History of 1918 Shows That
Jack Dempsey Did the Best Fighting
While the war gave the boxtng game a big setback last year, the
promoters of several cities closing down the sport rather than run
shows at a financial loss, many of the scrappers managed to reap a
harvest out of contests which they engaged in during the slow sea
son. Johnny Pollock produces some figures which show that Jack
Dempsey. contender for the wold's heavyweight title, did the best
fighting during 1918. He took part in 22 contests, conquering in 18
of them. He engaged in three contests where no decisons were ren
dered, a 10-round go in St. Paul on May 3, and a six-round battle
at Philadelphia, on November 28, both with Hilly Miske, of St.
Paul, and a four-round exhibition bout with Clav Turner, at Eb
bets Field in Brooklyn. He lost one decision to Willie ileehan in
San Francisco on September 13, and scored 17 knockouts. Benny
Valger led in total number of bouts with 39. The fighting done by
the oilier prominent stars follows:

"I reckon Dempsey is a good man,
but if you all want to find out f'r

bodied negro stalked into the Tele

himself as Black Gunboat Smith,

Allentown Easy For the
Tech Basketball Team
The Tech boys looked pretty much
like football experts last nlglit, when
they opened their Central Pennsyl
vania Inuterscliolastlc League games
with Allentown at Chestnut Street
Auditorium, winning handily, 62-17.
Carl Beclt was out of the lineup, but
the machine buzzed along smooi y
without h'.rn. Perhaps the star of all
was johnny Beck, no relation to
Carl, whose speed was so fast a run
ning Hun could not have kept up with
him.
, Kohlman caged five goals arolind
the middle of the l)oor, lone hand,
and Wilsbach Was something of a
revelation. Never has he shown such
activity and skill in this pastime.
Allentown would have scarcely

Clarence Beck and
Other Athletes Are
Returning to State
State College, Pa., Jan. 17.—De
spite the war changes of the last
year, Pennsylvania State has made a
satisfactory showing in colleg sports.
The foot ball elevn defated Lehigh,
lost to Pittsburgtfciand Rutgers, and
tied the Wlssahlckon Barracks team.
As State did not have a single vet
eran player in the squad, the de
feats suffered at the hands of Pitt
and the Jerseymen. both with eight
regulars of last year in their ranks,
Were not unexpected.
Penn State will not lack for ma
terial for its eleven next fall, in spite
of the fact that Frank Unger, cap
tain of this year's team, will be grad
ated in June. He is the only player
expected to leave, and to make up
for his loss the Blue and White is
counting upon the return of a dozen
or more former players from the
service.
Lieutenant Bob Higglns is coming
faclj from France. Cuvbage, O'Don
neli, Clarence Beck and Jones are
due shortly from Italy, and Way,
Bentz, Snell iand Gehring and Brown
will leave training camps in time to
enter college when the next academ
ic term opens, January 27. Lieuten
ant Harry Robb and excaptain Lar
j ry Conover also will re-enter •college
j and don their moleskins next season.
The material that will be available
for Hugo Bezdek next Autumn
should make it possible for him to
continue the development of the
j sport at State College on the same
j high that existed hero before
he came. N
