♦'CONFIDENT I CAN BEAT WILLARD," SAYS DEMPSEY; PITCHER STRICKER WINS GAME
Harrisburg Prominent
in Rifle Tournament to
Be Held Next Month
Harrisburg rifle shooters will be
prominent in the greatest classic in
the history of the world. It will be
staged at the big Navy range, lo
cated at Caldwell, New Jersey, Au
gust 14 to 30, inclusive. A dozen or
more teams from each of the mili
tary branches of the government,
militia teams from each State, forty
or more civilian teams, military and
high school teams, will shoot for
I Rational titles.
One of the big side attractions of
intense interest to the thousands of
visitors who will flock to the range
.will be an enormous exhibit by the
war Department, showing every-
thing used in the destruction of the
Hun, with actual demonstrations of
the 'big guns and bombing planes,
and the thousand and one other de
vices that made the western front
so unhealthy for Hindenburg et al.
during the summer and fall of 1918.
The exhibit alone will require over
100 standard cars to convey it to
♦ the grounds, where it will be housed
in several large buildings and on
the grounds nearby. This exhibit
■will be in charge of a local man,
Captain Harrie A. Douglas.
Popular Harrisburg Man
Captain Douglas is now identified
-with the munition department at
"Washington. He was formerly with
Major William B. Gray, at Middlo
- town, and later at Rockwell Park,
Del. He was a big factor in the or
* ganlzation of the local rifle teams
and has always been an enthusiastic
booster of this sport. He has been
preparing the exhibits for some time
which have been a big attraction to
visitors to the national capital. Pre
vious to the war Captain Douglas
was connected with the State High
wav Department.
Adjutant General Beary has an
nounced the appointment of Cassius
A. Dunn as captain of the Penn
sylvania civilian team, and Blaine
* Aiken, of Washington, Pa., as coach.
Both these men are veterans at the
shooting game, and if it is possible
to assemble a prize-winning aggre
gation from Pennsylvania, it will be
done. Mr. Aiken is a former mem
ber of the National Guard of Penn
sylvania, and has coached probably
more championship rifle teams than
any other man In the United States.
One of his most important assign
ments was the preparation of the
team from the United States which
■won the international championship
at Stockholm, Sweden, a few years
ago.
Mr. Dunn is also well known
. among the. shooting fraternity
throughout the land, having been a
_ member of the national team at
Jacksonville, Florida, in 916, was
captain of the Pennsylvania team at
Camp Perry, Ohio, in 1918, is vice
president of the Harrisburg Rifle
'•Club, vice-president of the Pennsyl
vania State Rifle Association, and a
"member of the board of" directors of
"■the National Match Civilian Rifle
■Teams Association, and a member of
4he National Rifle Association of
.America.
Competition for a place on the
jKtate team is running high, as the
. Candidates are required to show an
-sßverage of ninety per cent, in order
fto be considered for a place on the
team, the final selection to be made
from those contestants having the
I'bighest averages above ninety per
"<cent.
The- "leather necks," fresh from
Belleau Wood, are on the job, ereet
•lnb temporary barracks and cutting
cJown Caldwell Wood back of the
pits in the same energetic and ef
fective way they cleaned out Bel
leau Wood a year ago, and it is a
safe bet that Lieutenant Colonel
William C. Harlee, a marine officer,
and incidentally the executive officer
of the matches, is finding time to
coach a score or more of 6atd

Ail-Around Championship Match
An innovation this year will be an
"all-around championship match.
In other words, a match with the
regulation service rifle, followed by
a pistol match, followed by a small
boro rifle match and winding up
with a hundred-target match with
the scatter gun. As an additional
feature, there will be an interna
tional small bore match between
picked teams from England and
America for the championship of
the world. _
At present some forty Governors
have signified their intention of
sending State teams, both military
and civilian, and in this respect
Pennsylvania has not been back
ward. Those in the State interested
in the shooting game have organ
ized a league composed of leading
clubs throughout the Common
wealth and a regular schedule of
matches are being shot. From these
men there will be selected a civilian
team to represent the State at the
matches, and from the high scores
beinf? mado, it is safe to say that
this year the Pennsylvania civilian
team* will be a very serious conten
der for the national team trophy,
the greatest of them all, as well as
a number of trophies of lesser im-

Ed. Strieker Beats Commonwealth
in Pitching Duel With Eisenberger
The pitchers at the West End ball
park seem to think that unless they
rap out a healthy base clout or two
during the seven-inning session,
thcy'ie not earning their pay. Wertz
performed as a batter on Monday
night in a way that counted for two
runs and won the game for the Mo
tive Power. Likewise and similarly,
Edward Strieker, formerly of New
Bloomtleld, and other towns in Cen
tral Pennsylvania, hit the leather
for three bases in the second in
ning of the battle between the West
End and Commonwealth. Two West
End runners went across the plate,
bringing joy to the rooters of the
league leaders.
In that inning McKeever, with two
strikes called on him, hit to Gerdes,
who thew him out to Klugh. Tim
othy Euker drew a pass, stole sec
ond and was going beautifully to
third when Eisenberger whipped the
hall to Gerdes, catching the West
End shortstop at the third sack.
Bell got first on an error by G.
Killinger. Knight got first on a hit,
advancing Bell.
Then Strieker, clad in a Cham
bersburg uniform and with resolu
tion plainly written on his counten
ance, came to bat. He had figured
that thus early in the session it
would be well to put the old ball
game in the refrigerator. He there
upon smote one of Dewey Eisen
berger's straight ones far into left
garden, sending Bell and Knight
home with two tallies. Guttshall,
next up, was hit by the pitcher. He
stole second as Shafer fanned at one.
In deep center, one J. Lightner, of
Marysville, stood craftily watching
Shafer. Shafer connected with one
that grooved over the plate. It look
ed safe and it seemed as though
Strieker and Guttshall would add to
the two runs already acquired, but
Lightner captured the hit near the
ground, did an acrobatic stunt tin
rolling over and triumphantly held
the sphere to view, retiring the side.
When he came in from the field he
was obliged to lift his cap to the
applause that greeted him- This self
same Mr. Lightner. by the way, made
two other catches of the Barnum-
Bailey variety. Shafer scored the
third run for West End in the sev
enth inning.
Walter Smith tallied the lone run
for the Commonwealth in the last
half of the second inning.
Strieker, however, was the eon
trolling factor in the downfall of the
Commonwealth team. Tucker Brown
and Powder Smith, who occupied
seats of vantage on the left field
bleachers and who chattered like a
couple of magpies during the session,
came to the conclusion that if
Strieker had gone any faster he'd
have left the rails. He had a three
base hit, struck out seven of his
rivals and assisted eight times in re
tiring rivals either at first or else
where on the sacks. But five hits
were made off his delivery. Only
once did he seem to transgress, that
when Eisenberger bunted and Striek
er undertook to make the putout at
first base unassisted. Eisenberg beat
him to it and some of the crowd
hooted the pitcher, who probably
had figured that if he threw to
Palmer the hall probably would have
struck Eisenberger, glanced into tho
bleachers and spilled the beans for
the West End. There was too much
at stake to take a chance. Moreover,
the ommission didn't count, for
Eirenberg didn't score.
He pitched a splendid game,
however. Ffivo errors on the pari of
his teammates, contributed largely
to the success of the West End play
ers getting across the plate. Killing
er, at short, had three of these.
Hinkle, at second, had the other
two. With five misplays grouped in
the important territory covered by
these two young gentlemen it easily
can he seen what might happen. And
it did happen, too. Eisenberger al
lowed the West Enders but thrco
hits. One of these was a three-baser.
Gerdes, third sacker for the Pn
monwealth, smote one of Stricke
spittcrs for a three-base hit in t
HABBISBURG TELEGHXPfI
last half of the first Inning, but he
was thrown out at the plate on the
attempt to score. The crowd was
large, one of the largest of the sea
son.
To-night the Commonwealth plays
the Engineers and Firemen. On July
4, the West End and Motive Power
will play two games, the first at 10
o'clock and the second at 5 o'clock.

ways been two of the strongest rack
et wielders on local courts and have
also figured prominently in tourna
ments in other parts of the State,
while Black has likewise long been a
well known figure In local tennis
activities and plays a heady game.
On July 12 the local stars will Jour
ney to Fottsville. where they will
play the country club, and this
match will also be returned on the
local courts in two weeks.
A match with Schuylkill Haven will
take place some time next month,

sociation's schedule before the sea
son ends.
The latter part of this month a
match will be played at Mont Alto,
with a crack team of the physicians
at the State Hospital.

preliminary details of boxers, pro
moters and arena constructors will
be completed to-day and with the
gathering up of stray strands '.he
stage will be set for the heavyweight
championship bout between Jess

limbering-up exercises and .-ome
shadow boxing.
At about the same hour the last
nail will be driven in the arena which
is to seat 80,000 spectators and which
Is the greatest fight stadium ever
constructed for temporary use only In
seating capacity, ease of ingress and
exit it compares favorably with the
Roman Coliseum and the Yale foot
ball bowl at New Haven.
In addition to the 80,000 spectators
who can be seated comfortably, tho-e
is standing room for close to 20,000
more or so that the total capacity
