$4,000 Fresh Troops
Fifty thousand fresh German

CARNEY HELD
FOR sHOCT-NG
He Was Discovered While in Act
of Ea1sacking House


Mrs. David Shilling, of Wheat
field, Burlington township, came
to Indiana Wednesday moning and
identified Clyde Carney Of Center
vile, West Wheatfeld township,
prisoner in the county jail, as the
person who shot her the morning
of January ID, when she surprised
him in the act Of robbing the Shll-
ling home. Mrs. Shilling was
wounded in the arm and was a pa
tient in the Memorial hospital at
JOhnstown until a few days ago.
She arrived in Indiana on the
morning train and was taken di-
rcctly to the county Jail. On en-
tering the jail she became cOnfus
cd as the corridors were dark, and
at first she did not recognize Car
ney as the alleged thief. He was
taken back to the Jail later in the
day and when brought face to face
with Carney she declared repeat
edly, THAT is the man. F" Mrs.
Shilling returned to her home that
afternoon. Carney had little to
say following the woman s visit,
but declared he could not under
stand why Mrs. Shilling did not
recognize him on her first visit to
the jail that morning when she
was so confident that he was the
guilty man on the second visit.
The robbery and shooting Oc-
cured during the absence of Mr..
Shilling on the morning Of Jan.
IS. The husband is employed as a
blacksmith at Vintondale and
leaves home early for his work.
Shortly after he left the house on
the morning Of the crime, Mrs.
Shilling went to the barn to do the
milking. On her return to the
house she noticed that the door
was fastened, but did not think
anything of it, as there is a spring
lock on the door and she supposed
that it had slipped as she closed
the door to go to the barn.
Entering the house through the
cellar she heard a noise upstairs.
Just as she got to the head OF the
stairway she discovered man
ransacking one of the rooms. AS
soon as the burglar saw Mrs. Shil-
ling he opened fire with revol-
yer, the bullet striking the woman
en- the arm. Mrs. Shilling fell and
i is alleged that the intruder shot
at her as she lay injured upon the
floor.
The thief secured $50 and gold
watch, but during the excitement
following the shooting he over
looked $50 which was IN a pay
envelope.
Carney was arrested at his home
in Centerville Jan. Is by Consta-
BILE John E. Blackley, of Buffing-
ton township, and was brought to
the county Jail the following day
on a charge of being implicated IN
the robbery. He was given hear
ing before Justice of the Peace
James A. CrosSman and was held
for trial at the March term.

Out Bay State Rivals in Cup
Tie Match.

Only one OF four big soccer football
games on the program in this section
yesterday was played. The Babcock-
Wilcox eleven, of Bayonne, BANKED
the Fore River Rovers, of Quincy,
Mass, by the score of 3 goals to in
the second round of the American
Cup Tie competition at Bayonne. The
visitors played the game under pro-
test, claiming the field was in no con-
dition for play.
The game scheduled between the
West Hudsons and the Yonkers E. G.
at the Newark Federal League
grounds yesterday afternoon, which
was billed as a replay in the United
States Football Association Cup Tie
competition, was called off. The
Brooklyn F. C. and the I. r. I.
Strollers were to have met in an
American Cup game in New York, but
the conflict was postponed, owing to
the poor shape of the field. The Scot
tish- Americans, of this city, were un-
able to meet the Disston F. c. or
Tacony. Pa, in an exhibition game
on Clarlfs Field, in East Newark.
The Disstons lost TO the Bethlehem
r. c. in a United States Football As
soeiation Cup Tie Game on Saturday
by the score of goals to 0. The Jer-
sey A. c. and the General Electrics,
of Schenectady, n. Y, battled to a

hibition game played between the
Scots and the Alley Boys at Clarks

leaves two tie scores, one on each
side of the dividing line, then both
scores are to be placed in the upper
section. This will also apply if there
are more than two tie scores on each
side of the dividing line, or in each
section, provided the number of tie
scores on each side of the dividing
line, or in each section, are equal. In
case the division comes among tie
scores and shows a majority in one
section, then all said tie scores to go
into the section containing the said
majority.
The above sections will be set off,
based on the first 500 targets of the
program. Whether or not any shoot
er, or shooters, do, or do not shoot the
two handicap events will have no
bearing on these sections.
None of the Special Trophies on
the Pinehurst Preliminary Mid winter
Handicap will be given to the winner
of the Pinehurst Preliminary Mid
winter Handicap Trophy, but the
Especial Trophy will be awarded to
the runner-up in the section contain
ing said winner. Each contestant will,
of course, shoot from his handicap
position irrespective of which section
he shoots in.
The winners of Especial Trophies
on the Pinehurst Mid-winter Pre-
liminary Handicap will not be eligible
to win one of the Especial Trophies
on the Pinehurst Mid-winter Haudi-
cap. In other words. one man can
not win two of the Special Trophies" +"
The grounds will be open for prac-
tice and sweepstake shooting on all
days previous to January II. The
Interstate Association trapshootins
rules will govern all points not other
wise provided for.
The regulations win be: No guns
larger than IL gauge allowed. Weight
of guns unlimited. Black powder
barred. Target will be thrown about
fifty yards. The standard bore of the
gun is No. u, and in the handicap
events all contestants will be handi-
capped on that basis. Contestants
using guns of smaller bore must stand
on the mark allotted to them.
There will be no practice shooting
allowed before the regular scheduled
events are shot each day, nor will
there be any preliminary events shot.
Contestants are requested to make
entries for the entire program each
day.
Extra sweeps will be held each day
after the regular program is finished

claimed that Darcy was afraid to take
a chance with McGoorty for fear he

However. Darcy should not have

Charley Weinert evidently figures
on defeating Jim Savage to a GER
tainty at the Pioneer Club Thursday
night. for he has agreed to meet Fire
man Jim Flynn at the opening show
of the Engineers A. A. to
be held at the Twenty-seoond
Regiment Armory on January
5. weinert has also agreed to
meet Al Reich at the same club on
January 10. weinert seems TO look
upon his match with Savage as a
joke. He said while training the
other day that there was nothing TO
worry about Savage.
'why, he won't be able to hit, in
the first place." Weinert said, "and
he couldn't bruise a ripe tomato i'll
the second place. That fight is in.
Savage is whipped now I am going
to keep right on training, though,
and intend to fight more frequently
in the future"
O.
The rumor that Weinert is going
West right after his fight with Saw
age is worrying Jack Bulger, his
manager, somewhat. Bulger says
there is nothing in the rumor, but a
close friend of Weinert's says that
Charley did make such a statement,
and that he tore up a favorite pic
ture of his manager and threw the
pieces on the floor. However, little
things like that do not amount to
much between pals. Bulger says he
will continue to manage Weinert, and

who has been heard of in baseball ere
this, who bears the name of William
j. klem-Bill Klein of the baseball
diamond.
Klein lives at Lakewood, particu-
larly in the winter. He is ardent In
his devotion to golf, and, as it ham
pens, the links of the Country Club
of Lakewood are quite playable most
OF the winter. The result is that
the baseball arbiter often has his
thoughts far away from the ball field.
he took part in the recent tourna-
ment, there, and, although eliminated
from the second sixteen, declared that
all blazes would not prevent him from
trying his luck in the future.
Apropos of KLEIN, it is interesting to
note the manner in which the real
golf bug" works. One of the COM
petitors was Donald Brian, the actor,
who plays little better than the base
ball umpire. They were introduced
by one who knew both of them we'll.
There's many a time I've wanted
to throw pop bottle at you for some
of your DECISIONS" remarked Brian.
but I'm mighty glad to meet you as
golfer and a man."
And there's many time I've seen
you dance" came the rejoinder, "and
wished ] could do likewise. I've often
regarded the Merry Widow and the
Girl from Utah as sisters, but---have
you anything ON this afternoon ?"
And the end of this golf story is not
yet.
Another incident of the last tourna-
ment at Lakewood has to do with
Billy KLEIN. THAT chap is q husky
fellow. Who is he?" asked the base
ball man.
Did you ever hear of John Brede-
mus, former all-round amateur cham
pion athlete of America? He won in
1908, and again in 1912 when Jim
Thorpe was declared a professional"
came the answer.
We'll, of all things! He is playing
golf, too! What is this game, any
way that 1t should get such men in
it?" asked KLEIN, wonderingly.
A little later Bredemus and KLEIN
We're introduced. The handshake was
such that they might have been mem-
bers of the same lodge, or even long
lost relatives, it was so cordial. At
any rate, KLEIN has found new golf
friends who knew of him otherwise
than as budding golfer. It is not
difficult to imagine KLEIN, Bredemus
and Brian as three of many four
some this winter down there in the
pines.

With the coming of winter and the
snow ON the ground. the ardent "gun
bug" has packed his shooting irons
and is hieing himself to newer fields
of conquest. Already the winter re-
sorts are awakening and a season of
good sport at the traps looks prom
Using.
Lakewood will be the scene of the
first big competition and the manage
ment of the Laurel House Gun Club
has decided upon December % and 29
as the dates for their mid winter
tournament. The affair will be an in
vitation shoot, and a most attractive
program has been arranged for the
visiting trapshooters. December 27
will be practice day, and a, 100-target
event is scheduled. The first days
program calls for $50 birds, the last
100 targets of which will decide the
Lakewood championship. The Lake.
wood Handicap Championship will be
staged on the Goth In connection with
a 150-bird program. In addition to
the Option Sweepstakes, there will be
$500 added In attractive prizes.
Following close on the heels of this
meet comes the announcement of the
Pinehurst, North Carolina, Gun Club
and it's Ninth Annual Mid-Winter
Handicap Target Tournament to be
held at Pinehurst from January II up
to and including the 20th.
This latter event is one of the most
popular meets in the list of the Rlany
that are held in the South, and many
handsome trophies, as well as money
prizes, have been arranged.
There will be four Special Tro-
phies" for each, the Pinehurst Pre-
liminary Midwinter Handicap and the
Pinehurst Midwinter Handicap.
The field will be divided into four
equal sections, as there are four
Special Trophies" viz: The scores
made by each amateur shooter, or the
first 500 sixteen-yard targets (the full
program for the first and second
days, and the 100 of the third days
program) of the program, will be tab
ulated in the order in which the
shooters finished, l. e., the highest
score first, and so on down. The
scores will then be divided into four
equal sections, commencing at the
top. In case there should be one
score over an equal division, it will
be added to the fourth section; if two
over to the fourth and third sections
If three over TO the fourth, third and
second sections.

JOHNNY EVERS LIKES GOLFING
ALMOST AS WE'LL AS BASEBALL

There are only two sports on the
face of this fair. green earth. accord
ing to Johnny Evers, second baseman
extraordinary of the Boston Braves.
These are baseball and golf.
But the tribute to golf is significant,
coming as it does from such a base
ball enthusiast. Not long ago the cap
tain of the Braves was confined TO a
hospital with Charley horse" in the
foot-or was it merely a sore foot,
made sorer through his indulgence in
the royal and ancient game? In any
event, the growing tribute to golf
came in the course of an interview
in which he declared that if more
pitchers would play the links game
they would rarely be troubled with
glass arms and the like.
Il believe that 1t is a good thing
for pitchers to play golf, except, of
course, the day after they have
worked on the diamond" Evers is
quoted as saying: You know
Mathewson is fiend for golf, and
| have heard that he arises as early
as $50 a. m. to get out on the links,
even on the days when he is scheduled
to pitch. He will play eighteen holes
and be back in the city in time for
luncheon"
But why the statement that there
are only two games on earth? Evers,
pinned down to the question by his
interviewer, said:
The baseball player typifies the
national game. He is out there work
ing for the entertainment and enjoy
ment of thousands of people. If his
heart and his head are on the game
he is getting lot of enjoyment out
of it himself, but primarily he is
getting a living out of it. 1t is his
work, the day of labor, IL he is wise,
which will make him comfortable in
days to come.
There are scores of ways that a
baseball player finds diversion when
he is off the ball field. You see, that
although he gets pleasure out of his
work, he requires play aside from
that, just as any worker in any field
of endeavor.

league ballplayers today turn to golf
