W. M. HASLETT,
SATURDAY EVENING,
utilized in gun manipulating, for a
hard contest.
Advantageous results may be at
tained by continuous home or fire
side training in gun handling. Sketch
upon tho mirrow in your room an
imaginary target, devoting time
both morning and evening, swing
ing your gun, with accurate point
ing, at the mtrrowed object, until
you have eliminated much of the
muscle strain, soreness and weari
ness, experienced on your first ef
forts. When you arc contesting in
major events, indifference with
mental loss of personality, become
necessary.
Keep Your Nerve
If you finish one of the high guns,
your mental and physical strain be
come prodigious, you will be at whip
cord tension, with a marked ten
dency to over anxiety, which is
sometimes branded nervousness.
At this stage you must apply the
mental brake, brace up, pull your
self together for the final. Your
one best asset, is complete self con
trol. Final results are dependent
upon yourself. Team work is out
of the question. Friend 3 may "pull,"
you alone must execute. The ability
to control, coach and handle your
self, accepting the psychological
moment to swallow Is your only win
ning salvation.
The crucial moment! When you
will be called upon to shoot the last
target in the main event or contest
in a tie with other top liotchers.
You must then forget the crowd,
they are watching you only for re
sults, which you must deliver. If
defeated don't inject overworked
excuses, snuff it up, look pleasant,
be a good loser, any tyro can be an
easy winner. If you are successful.
Well! The world loves a winner.
Every contestant has an open
chance to win this premier classic of
the world. Pack your gun, make
the pilgrimage to Chicago, you will
be made welcome. The writer de
i lares you more than a possibility.

Blooey!
Commonwealth last evening de
feated the West End pacemakeis,
score, 7 to 3.
This means something. The West
End league race will go to the finish
and there is likely to be some
changes before the winner of tills
season's championship is made pos
itive.
Th's is the third big surprise oi
the week for the patrons at Fourth 1
and Seneca streets grounds. Of
course there will be more surprises.
It is a real baseball league in the
I West End and fans are getting
' classy sport.
It was a batting rally In the sev
enth that brought the answer for
the Commonwealth Travelers.
George Levari was the West End
twirler and he pegged along 111
good style until those Travelers got
their eyes on the ball and walloped
hard and often. Eisenberger was
on the mound for the winning
team. He started wild but settlea
down and with a well-regulated
team back of him held the leaders
after the first inning. At the close
he again let up with his speed, but
was never in danger of losing the
contest. "Bill" Shaffer was the sen
sational fielder and Gerdes and
Johnnie Smith batted out long
drives for a circuit chase.
Travelers Get Start
The Travelers scored in the open
ing inning after Lightner had gonfe
out, pitcher to first. Hinkle singled
hut was caught trying to steal. J.
Smith drove a fly to McKeever, who
dropped the ball and the runner
took third. After having two strikes
and three balls, Gerdes connected
with one of Levan's curves and
sent the ball sailing far into right
field for a circuit of the bases
scoring J. Smith ahead of him.
Commonwealth in the seventh
scored five runs on as many hits.
W. Smith went out, pitcher to first
and Fields was given a base on
balls. E. Killinger then hit an easy
tap to Levan, who had a nice
chance for a double play, but when
he threw the ball to second to catch
Fields there was no person there to
receive the throw and the ball went
into center field, permitting Fields
to take third and Killinger second.
Eisenberger Singles
Eisenberger followed with a sin
gle to left, scoring Fields and Kil
linger, and on a pass ball by Kniglit,
' Eisenberger went to second. Light
ner then doubled, sending the Trav
ers' twirler across the plate and
Lightner scored on Hinklo's double
to left. Hinkle attempted to stretcn
Irs hit into a triple and was caught
at third. J. Smith came through
with a hit to deep left center for
four bases. Gerdes singled and
went to second when G. Killinger
advanced on a wild pitch by Levan,
but the scoring ended for W. Smith
concluded the Inning by striking
out.
West End made a desperate
comeback effort in their half of the
first and succeeded in scoring a run,
after W. Euker had fanned. Shaffer
singled to center, but was forced
out at second on a tap to G. Kil
linger. Embick singled, advancing
Levan to third and on a base on
balls issued to Palmer, the bases
were filled. A pass was also issued
to McKeever, forcing Levan across
the plate. The inning ended when
Challenger forced out McKeever at
second.
Two more runs were scored l.i
the seventh. Shaffer was safe when
he beat out an Infield dap to third.
Levan walked and Embick flicd out
to Eisenberger. Palmer drove a fly
to short, but with Shaffer on third
and Levan on first, McKeever dou
bled, scoring both runners. Chal
lenger ended the inning, also tha
game, by flying out to left. Tho

TENNIS LIST IS
DISAPPOINTING
Women Show Lack of Inter
est; Tournament Starts on
Monday; Extend Time
Entries for the Greater Harris
burg Tennis Tournament closed last
evening at 6 o'clock. The number
was rather disappointing. Officials
of the local Tennis Association made
the drawings, but will keep the list
open until Monday in order to ac
commodate lute comers.
The drawings Include the men's
doubles and singles. The drawings
for the events for women will not
be made until Monday. Entries
will be received up to that time.
The total entries for the men is 59.
The following announcement was
made.
Entries for mixed doubles, ladies'
doubles and singles, will be received
until next Monday evening at 6
o'clock, at which time the tourna
ment committee will reach a defin-1
ito conclusion as to whether or not
they will attempt to run oft any of
these events this season.
Much disappointment was ex
pressed over the lack of interest
shown by local tennis fans, but the
committee was unanimous in its con
clusion to extend the time for the
receipt of entries.
The tournament committee last
evening issued the following state
ment:
"Lack of a sufficient number of
entries for several of the events in
the proposed Greater Harrisburg
Tennis Tournament has resulted in
the decision of the committee in
charge of the events, to extend the
time for the submission of entries
for mixed doubles, ladies' doubles
and ladies' singles until Monday
evening, August 4, at 6 o'clock.
"At that time the committee will
reach a definite and final conclusion
as to the advisability of running any
of the events mentioned. If at all
possible, the tournament will bo run
off as planned, but its success and
the possibility of this rests entirely
with the tennis players of Harris
burg and vicinity.
"The committee is perfectly willing
and anxious to hold all the events,
but it would he manifestly ridiculous
to hold an event with only a hand
ful of contestants. If for no other
reason, it would be utterly impos
sible to finance the tournament and
secure the medals the committee de
sires to award successful contestants.
"In addition to this, victory in an
event where only a dozen or more
enrolled, would carry
very little honor, and could not
well be termed a championship in
any true sense of the word.
"We have fixed the entry fee as
low as is aheolutely possible in order
to secure any kind of adequate
prizes. The fee is considerably lower
than that charged at the majority
of tournamehts elsewhere through
out the country.
"Entries will therefore be received
for any of the three events men
tioned up until 6 o'clock of August
4, Monday. At that time they must
be at the offices, of the City Park
Department, or in the hands of one
of the members of the tournament
committee. This is the latest date
positively within which entries will
be received. Any event for which
there are not a sufficient number of
entries at that time, will of necessity
have to be called off. Contestants
who have entered for any such event
and have paid their entry fee in
advance, will of course have same
refunded.

In the most exciting game seen on
the Hill this season, Galahad won 4
to 2 from Reading, thereby drawing
the two teams closer together in a
torrid race for the pennant. The larg
i est crowd of the season was on hand
i to cheer for the favorites, and there
were chances aplenty to keep the
rooters in a good humor.
"Dutch" Conner opposed "Buckie"
Gilday in a battle of pitchers, and
Conner got his first defeat of the sea
son. Gilday had 11 strikeouts to Con
ner's 5, while the former gave five
hits to the latter's four.
Not an inning was played that was
not full of action. Both teams tallied
in the second. Galahad slipped one
across the platter when Clark tapped
one to Conner and the latter threw
wild to first base. Clark going to sec
ond. When Starry laid down a field
er's choice, Clark took third base.
Clark was thrown out at home by
/'Kinney" Swartz and after stopping
Foland's grounder. Stauffer laid down
an infield hit and Starry slid over the
pan. Reading tied up the count after
two were out in that session. Bow
man singled over second base, and
came home on "Suddy" McQuade's
triple. "Suddy" tried to stretch the
hit into a homer, but was thrown out
at the plate.
Galahad got two more in the fourth
that practically clinched the con
test. Starry hit over third base, but
was out at the keystone station on
Foland's fielder's choice. Stauffer
tripled and Foland tallied. Fetrow
sent out a slashing single to right
field and Stauffer scored. Cobaugh
beat out an infield hit, the fourth hit
of the inning, Fetrow going to third.
Cobaugh stole and when Lutz was
given a base on balls the paths were
crowded with Galahad runners. Fe
trow was thrown out trying to steal
home.
Both teams tallied in the final
round. Cobaugh walked and stole
second. Fetrow drove out a hit that
scored Cobaugh. Reading sent one
across when "Mose" Swartz doubled
to centerfleld. George Gerner, pinch
hitting for Shartle, popped to Starry.
"Mose" reached third on a wild pitch
and when "Kinney" Swartz sent out
a long sacrifice fly. M- Swartz scored
the final tally of the contest. The

St Mary's Team Quits
City Junior League Circuit
St. Mary's team failed to show up
last night for a scheduled double
header with East End, in the City
Junior League series. East End took
the game by forfeit. The St. Mary's
team has quit the league, claiming
unfair treatment by the umpire in a
recent game with Swatara.
The umpire called a batted ball to
left field by Manager Pailey a foul hit.
Two men were on base and it was the
last inning with the score tied. The
St. Mary's players refused to listen
to the umpire's decision. The um
pire called the game on account of
darkness. The Swatara manager of
fered to play the game, over, but St.
Mary's would not agree to this.
No action has been taken to secure
a new club, but a team will be on
hand for the game Monday evening.

MORE TROUBLE
IN D-P LEAGUE
Millerslmrg Withdraws Be
cause Players Arc
Lacking
Additional trouble has come to the
Dauphin-Perry League In the with
drawal from the circuit of the Millers
burg team.
Announcement of the withdrawal was
not receiver! by President E. E. Knauss
until 5 o'clock last evening and the
two games scheduled with Marysville
at Millershurg tills afternoon were at
once called off. What disposal will be
made of them will be determined later.
Millcrsburg was the only Dauphin
county contingent represented in the
circuit this year, although In previous
seasons two other Dauphin county
teams were represented.
Some action of Millersburg's with
drawal will be taken this afternoon
at Duncannon. when an informal meet
ing of league representatives will take
place. Duncannon and Newport are
playing there this afternoon and will
have representatives on the field. Rep
resentative R. 11. Cunningham, of
Marysville, and President E. E. Knauss,
of Harrlsburg, will also attend to con
sider the vacancy occasioned by the
withdrawal.
Players Desert
Desertion of players, injury to oth
ers and poor support from borough
fans is assigned by Manager "Bud"
Fry as the reason for his withdrawal.
He held off as long as he could, he
said, in his letter of withdrawal.
Some of the best players deserted to ,
go with the Dauphin-Schuylkill League,
and Millersburg dropped miserably aft
er starting off as a strong pennant con
tender. Several weeks ago Shortstop
Biever moved from Millersburg and
"Rabbit" Zerance, who was secured to
replace him, has now been burned so
severely that he will be out of the
game for the season. "Bob" Bowman,
crack inflelder and pitcher and heavy
hitter, who has been the mainstay of
the team this season, has been under
a physician's care for almost a week.
Manager Fry recites in his letter to
President Knauss.
He could have put a team In the field
against Marysville to-day, but it would
not have made a creditable showing and
would have done considerable to Injure
the game in the town, Manager Fry
wrote.
Fans have not accorded the team the
support that it should have received and
less than 200 people were in attendance
at last Saturday's game with New
port, according to figures of receipts
supplied by Manager Fry to President
Knauss. He felt too that even with
two games scheduled with Marysville
to-day, that the receipts would not
have been sufficient to cover the ex
penses of the games.
Seek Other Company
The upper end town has been eager
to get Into the Dauphin-Schuylkill
League for some time, it is said. They
have urged Manager Fry for the past
fortnight. It has been reported, to
throw up the franchise in the Dau
phin-Perry and endeavor to connect
with the upper end circuit. While the
withdrawal has now been effected, no
Information has been received as to the
possibility of the admittance of the
Mlllersburgians into the second cir
cuit.
Little trouble In filling the vacancy
is expected by President Knauss or
other league representatives. Several
weeks ago when another team had
threatened to withdraw, no less than a
, half-dozen teams had filed petitions for
admittance and it is known that sev
eral of these would still take up the
franchise.
The fast moving Blain Independents,
who have split even in a series with
Newport, are especially anxious to get
into the league. Blain is an out-of-the
way place, but officials made the prop
osition to play all Its games at New
port. Port Royal, formerly of the Mif
flin-Juniata circuit. filed application
even before it withdrew from that cir
cuit. West End, leaders of the West
End Twilight League, are understood
to be anxious to finish the season. Hal
ifax and Dauphin, formerly of the Dau
phin-Perry, and New Cumberland of
the old Central Pennsylvania circuit,
are the other towns that are reported
to be anxious to get In. Several other
contingents are expected to ask rep
resentation at the league meeting.
To Meet Here
While league officials and represen
tatives will meet at Duncannon this
afternoon, it is not believed that any
definite action will be taken to admit
another team. The matter will be dis
cussed and the Millersburg franchise
declared forfeited, and it is expected a
date set for a meeting early next week
at which time the franchise will be
awarded to another team.
The team selected to replace Millers
burg will make its initial appearance In
the Dauphin-Perry on Saturday, Au
gust 9. when it will line up against
Marysville on the Seidel Park grounds
at the latter town. The new team will
have seven games to play, three at
home and four away. Three of the
games are scheduled with Marysville,
three with Duncannon and one with
Newport. The team now has a record
of Ave games won, six games lost, for
a percentage of .455.

that he could not decide to-day
whether he could accept the invitation
or not. He said that his plans for his
trip West are undecided, because of
the situation with respect to Congress,
the press of problems that have pre

Needs Spiritual Revival
London, Aug. 2.—Herbert Hoover,
head of the international relief organil
zation, speaking last night at a dinner
of the supreme economic council,
warned his hearers against apathy In
the face of the economic conditions
now governing the world.
"The world," said Mr. Hoover,
"needs what might e called a spiritual
revival of the spirit that won the war.
We need the sense of service that was
manifest among the Allies a year ago
if the world Is to survive the economic
conditions confronting it now.
