JIM THORPE CONTINUES TO SWAT THE BALL FOR EXTRA BASES; FUTURE GREATS SPEEDY
Nothing in a Name if
You Believe Tom Marshall
Is skunk meat a table delicacy?
If Invited to a banquet where skunk
and muskrat were featured as the
piece de resistance, endorsed by 50
of the leading sportsmen of America,
who had eaten both rat and cat
meat, with great relish, then pro
nouncing It par excellent, would you
slip your feet under the table —with
a growing appetite—then insist upon
being served with liberal portions.
Are peoples' tastes changing along
the culinary and gastronomic routes?
Prairte chicken were declared
worthless as food by many of the
early settlers of the Middle West,
who branded them as a crop menace
only. Coot or mudhen never graced
the bag of real sportsman in ye
olden days, they were considered
worthless for table use, based upon
the mud and fish flavor acquired by
the meat. The scarcity of ducks has
of late years boosted the mud hen
stock above par. Coot are found
in great numbers, are easily
"grassed," requiring very little hunt
ing skill or shooting accuracy. They
are now declared "toothsome" by
self-confessed connoisseurs, claim
ing they are fit for home consump
tion, superior to either canvas-back
or red head ducks. A perverted
taste. In the fish kingdom, in days
gone by the gar. sheephead, hackle
hack, stergeon and dogfish were
tossed into the food discard, they
are now unloaded on an unsuspect
ing populace, under many camou
flaged names. Salted, cured, smoked
and flaked they have become a
"thirst-parlor" lunch counter deli
cacy. Ts the acceptance of formerly
declared norreatable flsh and game,
due to the scarcity of food, desire
to conserve, change of gastronomic
taste, or toleration or acquired abil
ity to prepare food in a manner,
whereby objectionabe features are
disguised or eliminated?
The late Judge. A. K. Vickers, of
the Illinois Supremo Court, recited
to Judge George A. Cooke, of Aledo,
111., his associate member of the
bench, the story of an acquaintance
residing in Calhoun county. Illinois,
who was rated a most successful
wild turkey hunter. He was ever
ready to exchange a wild turkey for
a skunk carcass, claiming pole cat,
when properly dressed, was far pre
ferable for eating purposes. Bogus
Island Shooting and Fishing Club,
with a preserve on an island in the
Mississippi river, five miles above
New Boston, Illinois, always staffed
an annual novelty fish or game din
ner. Judge Cooke was booked as
master of ceremonies, with power to
act. An opportunity was offered to
secure an intelligent, unbiased and
uninstructed verdict from an aggre
gation ,of epicures on the culinary
value of skunk and muskrat vs. suc
culent possum meat, which was on
scientific trapping, meat conserving
and game dressing. He caught,
cleaned and artistically prepared a
sufficient number of skunks and
muskrats for the announced possum
dinner; reserves of sweet potatoes,
mushrooms, peas and other acces
sories were furnished to one of
Chicago's famous chefs, who devoted
every effort to make palatable the
succulent viands. Rich gravy, sub
merged the hot southern biscuit.
Parsley garnishment, embellished
the appetizing appearance of the
browned rhodents. Fifty members
and guests were present. Bounti
ful portions of meat were served,
many "backed in" for additional
helps. Eulogies were pronounced
and compliments showered upon the
purveyor and his succulent possum.
That old times, ever popular melody.
SAYS PUBLIC IS
DEPRIVED OF FOOD
Gen. March Admits Surplus
Report Could Have Been
Made in February
Washington, July 12. General
March, chief of staff of the Army,
told a House subcommittee on war
expenditures yesterd; the War De
partment's declaration of surplus
food stocks could have been made !n
February instead of May and that on
July 8 the declared surplus of food
stuffs amounted to $121,100,000.
Chairman Reavis, in questioning
the General, contended that delay in
declaring the surplus had resulted in
great loss to the Government, and
had deprived the public of foods for
which there was great demand.
In a statement filed by General
March the surplus of food stocks was
given as follows: Corn beef, $24,-
000,000; bacon, $23,600,000; roast beef,
$20,500,000; fresh frozen beef and
poultry, $20,000,000; corn beef hash,
$10,000,000; canned vegetables, $23,-

ANSWERS TO NIMRODS
Question. A party of us are go
ing west on an auto trip this fall,
we will go through Yellowstone
Park. I want to take my gun, will
it be necessary to get a permit from
the government to shoot in Yellow
stone Park?
Omaha. Neb. HARVEL O'GRADY.
Answer. Shooting is not permit
ted in Yellowstone Park under any
conditions. That locality is a rec
ognized game sanctuary. The gov
ernment at times employ profes
sional hunters to kill off the moun
tain lion, when they become a
menace to the game animals living
in the park. Don't imagine you
would care for a position as lion
killer.
Question. Where will the Olym
pic games be held and when? Will
America send a team of trapshoot
ers abroad at that time?
St. Louis, Mo. FRANK MESSING.
Answer. The Olympic games will
be held in 1920, Antwerp, Belgium,
has been selected as the city wherein
the contest will be held. America
will send a team, which will be se
lected on annual averages. There
is a move now in embryo to pay
team expenses by the trapshooters
of America. This is along the logi
cal lines. There should be a stand
ard style of trapshooting adopted
in the different countries, which
would place all contesting teams on
the same level. The foreign coun
tries, based upon their hedge shoot
ing afield have adopted the use of
both barrels or privilege of firing
two shots at each flying target (the
British team were accorded two
shots at each target, while the
Americans flred but one, yet the
American team were winners In
every race by handsome margins).
The firing of two shots, teaches
rapidity at the expense of accu
racy. One shot is the logical rule,
firing two shots where two targets
are thrown simultaneously. A stand
ard ruling should be immediately
made.
MEXICANS SEIZE
BRITISH CONCERN
Confiscate Oil Plant Under
Decrees Issued by
Carranza
By Associated Press.
Washington, July 12.—Confisca
tion by the Mexican government of
the property of the Scottish-Mexi
can Oil Company, a British company
with several American stockholders
—the first actual confiscation under
the Carranza decrees which have
been the subjects of protests from
Great Britain, Holland, France and
the United States—was reported to
the State Department.
The property, it was said, now
was being operated by the Mexicans.
The British government, it was
learned, has taken up the matter of
seizure with the Mexican govern
ment through diplomatic channels
and has advised the company pend

vs. Central Iron and Steel at

After heing whitewashed Wed
nesday night by the St. Mary's ag
gregation, the Reading Railway out
fit got back on the track again and
turned the trick on St. Mary's kal
somining the team 3 to 0.
"Dutch" Conner, premier pitcher
of the league, was on the slab for
the victors and again kept the hits
o fhis opponents at a minimum. St.
Mary's connected just three times
for hits against the baffling curves
of Conner, who served his lirst day
as a patrolman over on the island
several days ago when he succeeded
"Big Jawn" Hess. "Rabbit" Zerance
had two of the trio of hits.
Conner also starred at bat. Bat
ting averages show that "Dutch" is
among the leaders and he lived up
to his reputation by making half of
the hits made by his nine. "Lefty"
Hummel was also going well for the
losing team, giving but four hits.
Reading started strong in the first
inning when Shartle walked and
scored on Conner's double. In the
third Shartle reached first on an er
ror in the outfield, racing to third
base on the play. "Kinney" Swartz
drove In this tally.
.The final score of the game was
made in the fifth session when C.
Swartz was given a life on an error,

SPORTS GALORE
FOR DOUGHBOYS
Boxing Was A. E. F. Favorite,
I but Baseball, Footfall and
Other Sports Held Sway
Paris (By Mail)— When the legions
of American doughboys leave the
fields of France. Belgium, Luxem
bourg and Germany for home, behind
them will be hundreds of baseball
diamonds cut in the countryside of
these lands, and a host from all the
nations intensely interested In a
game that before the war was for
eign and strange to them.
More baseball has been played this
spring and summer by the boys of
the Army of Occupation, and those
awaiting embarkation, than any
area of similar proportions in
America. Hundreds of carloads of
baseball equipment were distributed
among all the Yankee units of the
K. of C. athletic directors.
It was the Knights of Columbus
who first realized that necessity of
sending a man to France who played
the game, and knew how to teach It.
That man was Johnny Evers. He not
only paved the way for success for
the game in the A. E. F., but en
couraged the sport among the sol
diers of the other allied nations. He
staged games with enemy aeroplanes
swooping overhead, and was first to
handle the enormous supply of ath
letic equipment which was given the
boys by the Knights of Columbus.
Bill Friel. the St. Louis star, was
placed at the head of the athletic
department managing baseball games
by the K. of C., and he gathered
about him a number of stars from
the big leagues. Bill Laughlin, for
mer captain of the Detroit Tigers,
was one who assisted in the K. of C.
baseball program. He organized a
team in Southern France, and in a
month's time captured the honors
In that section. Later he went to
Coblenz, where Ke coached the Army
of Occupation champion team. Pete
Noonan of the Philadelphia Athletics
developed a strong team at Esch,
and was later one of the umpires in
the A. E. F. finals. Tommy Dowd,
another big leaguer In K. of C. uni
form, developed the Fourth Divslon
league. Jim Forgarty, former man
ager of the Jersey City, N. J., team,
managed the American Embarkation
Center team, and Jack Barry, the old
New York Giant star, assisted in the
K. of C. baseball activities. John
Carroll, Tommy O'Marra and J. B.
Kerin, one time umpire in the Na
tional League, held the indicator in
the soldier games. O'Mara set a new
baseball record when he flew In an
Army 'plane from Colombes les Belles
to Trier, Germany to umpire a game.
In these last months of the Ameri
can occupation of Germany and en
campment in France, baseball has
been the favorite sport fostered by
the K. of C., but its record in the
furtherance of boxing as a sport and
not a profession even surspassed the
summer pastime. The K. of C. made
boxing to the tired doughboy what
the light musical comedy has al
ways been to the tired business man.
In every area where American troops
were billeted in barns, poorly lighted
halls, in open fields and in the spa
cious recreation halls, the K. of C.
staged Interesting bouts.
The program of the K. of C. box
ing chief, J. J. Carey, provided
amusement as well as exercise for
the enlisted men. He pitted French
boxers against the best in the A. E.
F., and to the surprise of the Ameri
can boys, the French made an im
pression which was hardly the pop
ular idea of their fistic prowess. Sam
Fitzpatriek, a K. of C. boxing man,
who 20 years before brought Peter
Jackson to France, and later visited
Paris with Kid Lavigne, discovered
that the French boxers could fight
with their fists this time. Before
they used their feet continually.
Boxers and fight promoters of na
-1 tlonal reputation conducted the bouts
for the K. of C. The record of the
Caseys was such that the Army ath
letic officials gaye the organization
the exclusive privilege of staging
contests, and approximately a million
soldiers saw the bouts in Paris, Cob
lenz, LeMans, and other certers.
Alex McLean, K. of C. director with
the Third Army, alone staged 400
bouts. Billy Roche, Danny Dunn,
Biz Mackay, Kddle Conway, Frank
Flynn, Judge Duffy. Tommy McFar
land and Eddie O'Rourke were big
factors in the success of the pro
gram.
The greatest race ever stHged in
France was the marathon the K. of
C. arranged from Chateau-Thierry
over shell-torn roads to the Place de
la Concorde, Paris, which was won
by Matthew Lynch of Newark, N. J.
It was on the anniversary of the Jay
the American machine gunners were
making their attack on Chateau-
Thierry bridge. Tho runners coursed
their way under canopies of flowers
in some of the cities along tho route.
Owen Merrick hundled tho swim
ming meets of the A. E. F. for the
K. of C. and George Lamothe, inter
national champion fencer, taught tho
boys the use of the foils. Bill Mc-
Cabe, another K. of 'C. instructor, was
the first to suggest the internation
al regatta recently held. Together
with basketball, tennis, soccer and
rugby, the K. of C. secretaries assist
ed in all the athletic programs of the
A. E. F.

Jump in Hitting
Chicago, July 12. —Roger Peckin

twenty-nine consecutive games in
cluding Inst Wednesday's contest,
By Associated Press.
continues to lead the regulars in
batting in the American League,
his mark, .382, remaining un
changed from last week, according
to averages released to-day. Ty
Cobb, who returned to the game
after more than two weeks' absence
from the Tigers' lineup, has not re
covered his batting eye and lias
dropped from second to fifth place.
On the other hand, Joe Jackson,
the slugging outfielder of the White
Sox, has struck his stride and has
climbed from_ seventh to second
place with an average of .35p. This
great batting by the Chicagoan has
given him the total base honors,
held last week by Sisler, St. Louis.
Jackson's mark is 122 and Slsler's
121. Peckinpaugh, besides leading
the batters, chalked up five more
runs to his credit and leads the run
getters. He has registered 51 times.
Ruth Leads Circuit Drivers
Babe Ruth, the big Boston south
paw pitcher and outfielder, bagged
two more homers and leads the cir
cuit-drive hitters with 9. Ray
Chapman, Cleveland, who sUU Is
out of the game, has been passed
by Vitt, Boston In sacrifice hits.
Vitt has 25 to Chapman's 22. The
12 thefts of Johnston, Cleveland,
have put him first among the base
stealers.
Jim Thorpe, the Indian athlete,
continued to lead the National
League hitters and widened the gap
between himself and Gawy Crav
ath. recently appointed manager of
Philadelphia. Thorpe's mark is
.397 and Cravath's .356.
Hy Myers Shows Class
Hy Myers, of Brooklyn, showed
the real class among the batters,
however, by climbing from twenty
second among the regulars
last week with a mark of .297 to a
tie for third place this week with
an average of .332. Max Fleck,
Chicago, broke the tie shared with
Olson, Brooklyn, last week in num
ber of runs scored and leads with
46 tallies to his credit.
Benny Kauff, New York, slugger,
took the total base honors from
Cravath, but the veteran continued
to hold his lead among the home
run hitters. KaufT's total bases
number 113, while Gavvy has made
nine circuit drives.
Daubert Cincinnati, continued in
front among the sacrifice hitters
with 20, while Bigbee, Pittsburgh,
continued to show the way to the
base stealers with 21 thefts.
Lewis to Meet Britton
if He Trims Latzo
, The Ted (Kid) Lewis-Jack Brit
• ton match for the welterweight
•championship virtually has been
clinched for Labor Day. Britton has
agreed to give the English battler
another smash at the 142-pound
crown.
But Lewis must win over Steve
Latzo, the Hazleton battler, by a de
cisive margin when they come to
gether in one of the bouts of the
all-star program at Shibe Park, on
Monday evening, or forfeit the right
to meet Britton. Latzo, it will be
recalled, fought Jack Britton to a
standstill at Hazleton a few months
ago. He was caused trouble for all
the leading welterweights.
There will be four other star at
tractions at Shibe Park. Lew Tend
ler, who is hot on the trail of Benny
Leonard for a title match, faces Joo
Welling, the Chicago sluger.
The fourth contest will bring to
gether two men who are anxious to
get a crack at heavyweight cham
pion, Jsvck Dempsey, Harry Greb,
of Pittsburgh, and Battling Levin
sky.
George Chaney, of Baltimore, will
attempt a comeback in the second
bout. Joe Tiplitz, the ever willing
slugger has drawn the assignment
to oppose the K. O. King. Harry
Pearce and Eddie Moy will be the
contestants In the opening scrap.

Army Recruiting Men
Are Doing Big Service
Many do not realize the amount
of work that is being carried on by
the Army recruiting station here in
Harrisburg. As Major Mahm said
yesterday, the impression that many
people, in spite of the amount of
publicity the Army has had in the
last two years, is that it is com
posed largely of weak, worthless
men who can do nothing else. And
they 4 assume that the ony thing
a recruiting officer has to do is to
sit back and wait for some hobo to
drift into his office.
Such a condition, however, is far
from being the truth. Here is Har
risburg particularly, which is the
main recruiting center for many sur
rounding counties, the personnel of
the party is engaged not only in en
listing men for the service, but also
in rendering invaluable aid to men
who have just gotten out of it. One
of these services is the distribution
of buttons to discharged men, which
began yesterday. The office has
been packed ever since the an
nouncement was made of the arrival
of the buttons. One man brought
in two discharge papers. When
asked whose the other one was, he
replied that it belonged to his
brother and that he would return
to-day with a few more. He and
his four brothers were all in the
service, three of them being wound
ed or gassed.
Then someone is always writing
in for assistance of one sort or an
other. Yesterday the Major had a
letter from a boy in Tlndiana, a dis
charged soldier who wanted em
ployment for a year hefore he went
hack to finish his college course, in
Michigan. The S6O bonus is given
out here to men who have not re
ceived it at their demobilization
camps. Many like services are ren
dered.
