THURSDAY EVENING, SMALL GUN MADE POPULAR BY TOUR The .410 Guage in the Hands of Professionals Made a Wonderful Impression I By Peter P. Carney Kriitor National Sports Syndicate I Possibly the most remarkable and interesting shooting of the recent ! tour of the Winchester shooting J team, which included Harrisburg, ! was that accomplished with the lit itle .410 gunge gun. Thts shotgun, about the size of a broom splint in the hands of the giants of the team, proved that if it were pointed right it would break the targets. The members of the team shot it in three exhibitions daily, at small targets thrown from the small stationary trap, at small targets • thrown front a hand trap and at j targets thrown from the regulation I trap. The gun was made from shooting !at targets thrown front the station ary and hand traps, the idea being to | encourage shooting among boys, i girls and women, for yierc is abso j lutely no kick with the weapon, but I the members of the team decided to | shoot at ten regulation targets every j day to see what they could do with i the gun. John Taylor High ! They figured that it' they broke 50 ) per cent, they would be doing well. J John Taylor, who was high, averaged close to 70 per cent, and Mrs. Top ' perwein. who was low. was just a . wee bit under 00 per cent. Of the 310 targets shot at Taylor broke 207: Spencer. 205: Hawkins. 187: Bills. 1184: Mrs. Topperwein. 174. It wants Ito be noted that not one of these ' shooters ever handled the gun be i fore the beginning of the tour. ' Each member of the team broke j one string of ten straight with the ! exception of Spencer. His best string ' was nine. At Renton. 111., the team 'broke 41 out of 50. the best score lon the trip. Some Scores ! Taylor had four scores of 9 and Bil's and Spencer two each. Spencer i had ten scores of S: Taylor, 4; Bills, j 3; Hawkins ami Mrs. Topp, 2 each, j Hawkins had 13 scores of 7; Tay : lor. 7; Spencer. 6; Bills. 5 and Mrs. 1 Topp. 4.

Mrs. Topp had C scores of 4: Hawkins. 7: Bills. 4: ; Spencer, 3; Taylor. 3. Bills had three j scores of 3 and Mrs. Topp. Haw kins and Spencer had one each. Taylor ; had one score of two. There isn't any question but this gun is going to be popular for after : the exhibition in the various cities ; hundreds of women expressed a de , sire to try the gun and Mrs. Topper- I wein gave instructions to the wo -1 men. May Restrict Golf Matches to Nine-Stroke Handicap Xew York, Dec. 11. —Restriction iof the field in the Metropolitan 1 , amateur golf championship tourna ment next year to players with a I handicap of nine strokes or less 1 was announced to-day. Owing to i the steady growth of the game here in recent years, officials stated, it has become increasingly difficult to run the tournaments smoothly with the large number of competi tors entered. Many players en- I ter who have little chance of de ! feat'.ng the better players and only tend to cvercrowd the course.

Dec. 11.—Jimmy Wilde, British flyweight champion, may curtail his visit to this country, due to the setback he encountered in his initial performance in this coun try against Jack Sharkey, at Mil waukee on Saturday night. Losing to Sharkey, to whom he conceded about eight pounds, doesn't materi ally affect Wilde as an attraction in this country, but he put up a battle that stamps hint as a really great glove wielder. But Wilde is disappointed. He did not figure on losing. Further more. he claims that he was unable , to put up the scrap of which he j is capable. He lays that to building up weight, but whether he could ■ have done better had he trained | down to 105 pounds or so, which ; would necessitate his conceding : more weight to Sharkey, is a ques ; tion that cannot be answered. The result of his bout with Shar- J key makes it certain that Wilde will > be forced to turn down offers to fight other bantams in this country who tip 116 pounds or more. He as much as admitted thaCvesterday. and if he does remain here for any considerable length of time for the purpose of meeting American box ers nearer his own pound age, he will not have a great deal to do. for the field of chaps who can box from 107 to 110 or 112 pounds is i quite limited when class is consid j ered.

Deo. 11.—The wintry sun which set last evening over the battle of the Biltmore touched the clammy brow of Byron Bancroft Johnson with the gleam of victory. The day saw a new board of direc tors regularly elected and installed in the American League, a board of club owners loyal to the league pres ident. It saw F. J. Navln, Detroit magnate, and staunchest adherent of Battling Ban. chosen vice-president. It saw the attempt of the insurgent three to oust Ban as league presi dent fail utterly, and it saw a false move by the same insurgents to in stillComiskey as chairman of the board of directors result in the de parture of President Johnson and J. C. Dunn, of Cleveland, from the meeting room, thus rendering in valid any action taken regarding the controversy as to who finished third. And. most clinching of all, it saw. or perhaps heard, the league's motion to adjourn specically men tion that the president had named the time and place of the next meet ing. In short, it saw the big three, Rup pert, Frazee and Comiskey. repre senting New York courts, where the Jia>! case re-league, completely routed in their anti-Johnson crusade as far as unseating him from the American League saddle is concern ed. But the launching of no less than five court summons at Johnson this morning meant that the fight against him as president has been carried into the New York courts, where the Mays case reposes. * Select "Bob" Dunkle to Coach Camp Hill Teams; Favorite Among Players i The selection of "Bob" Dunkle, of ' Harrlsburg us coach of the Camp Hill High school teams is expected : to bring about a big change in the ! playing of the team. Dunkle is a favorite among the players having coached the teams successfully two years ago and was particularly re-; sponsible for bringing the team through with flying colors. The coach 4s widely known as a clean cut athlete having been connected in athletics for three years with the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy having been guard on the varsity five . of that institution, Dunkle has al- ■ ready taken charge of the team and some good results are expected to j show up in the game with Gettys burg High school to-morrow even j lng.

IN BOXING GAME Strong Team to Compete in Intercollegiate Contests; Candidates Out state College, Pa., Dee. 11.—The , boxing season at Penn State sot on its legs last night when almost 100 candidates reported to Coach Dick Harlow. Prospects for a winning aggregation are exceedingly bright, for all members of last year's team , were among those who reported. In addition to several men who made reputations for themselves in box ing while in the army. Harlow has ; had experience us a boxing couch in ! the army, stationed at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and has start- 1 ed his men on a vigorous training i schedule. _ Meets with Penn and the Navy are practically assured, and if the plan for an intercollegiate boxing meet goes through this year. State expects to enter a strong team. This meet is a strong possibility and is being earnestly boosted here. The first boxing team was put out by State last year and it had one meet with Penn which was lost by the narrow margin of one close de cision. Previous to that time inter class boxing had been fostered here for a number of years, and the sport is by no means new to State. Pour meets will be staged in the local ring this season in addition to the Penn bouts which will prob ably come during January. There will be a novice meet, a freshiuan sophomore class scrap, an interclass meet and the college champion ships. Candidates For Teams Prominent candidates for the in tercollegiate team are: 115-pound class, Jenkins, of last year's var sity: Reilly, who looks very good: Friedman, Reese. Eberle and Kali ley. a former star who lias had lots of experience in the army: 125- pound class. Freedman. who won a decision at Penn last year; 135- pound class, McF&dden, who de feated Captain Low, of Penn; 14 5-pound class, Cooper, who lost by a close decision at Penn, and Lalley. a scrappy fighter: 158-pound class, Ted Aiken, who defeated his Penn opponent, Rauch and Smozin ski, football men who have report ed: heavyweight. Higgins. Rlack and Beck. Higgins has been hailed as the best man at State with the gloves ever since he has been a student here. French Admirers Idolize Champion Carpentier Paris. Dec. 11.—The enthusiastic welcome accorded Georges Parpen tier on his return Monday night from London, where he defeated Joe Beckett, the English heavyweight boxing champion. continues un abated. Police "barrages" arc re quired every time the champion ap pears on the streets and at one time he was obliged to take refuge in a boulevard restaurant, which was be sieged by a vast crowd. One little midinette broke through the police cordon and entered the restaurant with a huge bouquet of flowers, which she presented to Car pentier. The latter offered the girl an hundred franc note. whi"h she re fused. saying: "I would have you kiss me." Carpentier kissed her on both cheeks. Referring to his proposed mateb with Jack Dcmnsey for the world's championship. Carpentier declared "l do not underrate Mr. Dempsev and I am no tmaking any claims at this time that T shall be victorious. Put I shall meet him without the slightest feeling of fear." -- Winppf in Gam** With Seneca A. A ft-tr M r r*t n n nfe bflykh*- |IP|I M HOFENFP'' ♦ SJOPPPI TFPPI at jnc h'* fie prvro of 33-2.

Under the heading. "Harris-j burg Would Play Northsiders—l'n-. clouded Title Is Sought—Allegheny < Will Not Play." the Pittsburgh Post has the following to say: "Harrisburg Tech has sent a deli to Allegheny High. Hurrisburg claims the scholastic championship o{_ the 'United States, and they, therefore, desire to play Allegheny High, who : I defeated Parkersburg last Saturday, !to eliminate all chance for a dispute of this claim. They state that they desire to play the Northsiders in , Pittsburgh this next Saturday. "Harrisburg has won every game they have played this year against seholastlr teams. They trimmed Erie High by the score of 20 to a after the latter school had disputed their r'aini and now they are after the scalp of Allegheny. Star on Tech "The star of the Tech team is Peek, who plays ha'fbnck. lie is eonstdeerrt T^e best all around scho lastic athlete in the country—barring none. And. he is considered without a par when the gridiron pastime is , referred to. also. 'ln the Erie battle he contributed a pair of touchdowns, on one of which he ran for 70 yards. On this run he carried Captain IJeVine of the opponents for 30 yards, on over the goal. Some lad. "Hut—there is a difficulty regard <ng the pln.ving of this game. And it is a very decided one. The gam-- will not be played. Because of the fact that Allegheny refuses to play. And. isn't that sufficient excuse? They state that they have broken Gaining and therefore their season is at an end. And Harrisburg can claim . a l ' the championshiD.s she wants to. in there. Make Your Ash-Sifter Save You Money IT is estimated that anywhere from 15 per cent, to 40 per cent, of the ashes from your heater can be salvaged and put to work again. An asli-sifter will save you many, many dollars. Get one and put it to practical use. When the dust has fallen through the sifter you will have left many pieces of unburned coal many pieces of partly burned coal perhaps a clinker or two perhaps a piece of stone. The stone, easily recognized hv its weight, should be thrown away. The rest can usually be burned again. Do not make the mis take of saving only the black or unburned pieces. Even the clink ers are worth saving, more often than not. Coal sometimes fuses in such a manner that the center does not burn. The par.ly burned pieces of coal, gray or white in appearance, can always be used again. Even when the covering is soft and seems like ashes, almost invariably these pieces contain a large amount of carbon. Reclaimed coal could be put in a separate pile and used when the fire is red-hot or in banking at night. When it is used to bank a fire, a thin layer of new coal should be thrown in the fire, then a layer of reclaimed coal and another layer of new coal. If the heater is properly regulated, this should produce a hot fire in the morning. Consider the number of tons of coal you use in a year and the amount of your investment, and you will realize what a saving this means. United Ice & Coal Co.
