Indoor Baseball Knocks
Cricket Into Cooked
Hat, Say English

Baseball as played indoors during
the winter months in the United
States is proving remarkably popular
among the Allied soldiers in France.
1t is played, of course, out of doors,
but the larger indoor ball is used and
the rules of indoor baseball adhered
to. 1t seems to be an easier game as
well for the British soldiers to learn
than the more scientific and technical
outdoor baseball. 1t is quickly learn
ed. and its caliber is not too high to
admit an amateur. The English. SOL
diers find that any good cricket play
er possesses sufficient qualifications to
feel at home in few innings.
On athletic fields and aerodromes
all over France, one may see scores of
British, Canadian, Australian and
American officers and men. playing in
door baseball with a vim and eager
ness never displayed at cricket
Indoor baseball knocks cricket in
to cooked hat" declared the star
cricketer of one of the guards regi-
ments the other day. Probably the
quicker action. the wider inclusive
ness of the game. and the laughs IL
arouses among the players and spec
tators-to say nothing of the roofing,
appeal more to the soldier in France
than the more serious and sedate
game of cricket, and the equipment is
simpler and cheaper.

Georges Carpenter, French Boxer,
Must Quit Game, Says ''Bill" McCabe

Yankee fighters who have recently
seen Georges Carpenter. the French
champion heavyweight boxer, believe
he will never enter the ring again.
This. at least, is the opinion of
Fighting Bill" McCabe. who just re-
turned from the other side. after
meeting NJ. Nealez, who is called
champion of Paris.
AT the port in France at which l
landed said McCabe, the Y. NJ. c. A.
director, a man named Martin, is a
boxing enthusiast, and every Satur-
day night there is a boxing show put
on at the Y. Nj. G. A. hut over which
he presides. And say, some of the
bouts are corkers.
THE first day 1 was ashore 1 ran
into little boxer whom l had known
in the Navy. He showed me around a
bit. The following Saturday night as
| approached the " hut L was sur
prised to see an enormous crowd of
soldiers. l began to inquire what was
doing, when suddenly my little boxer
friend spied me and gave me yell
of recognition.
"tCome over here he shouted,
you're just the man we want.
1T developed that Soldier CAL
lagher, an American from Boston, had
about cleaned up every opponent that
could be found for him, and he had
just announced he was ready to meet
all comers.
IT hadn't any training, but I am
always in good condition. and 1 went
on with him. We boxed six rounds,
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-10-14

but he was a slam bang artist, and
succeeded in outpointing him. Then
they asked me II l would box Nealez.
l told 'em sure I would. They said
he was a heavyweight, but / answer
ed that it didn't make any difference
to me, and 1 had about a week to
train. l went to Camp (cen-
sored), where there were all the SPAR
ring partners l could possibly want,
and trained hard for the week. At
the end of that time l felt as IL L
could lick willard.
"On the Saturday night that I was
to box Nealez the whole camp came
down to root for me. Nealez had his
followers. too. and the thing looked
like worlds championship over
here In old days. l had about fifty
seconds, and so did Nealez. We got
busy right away and for three rounds
the gang just stood on their chairs
and howled. After that Nealez found
the pace too fast for him and ] was
able to beat him in the last three
rounds, but couldn't put him out.
q Georges Carpenter is fat and looks
ffabby to me. and I don't believe he
will ever engage in another real ring
battle. There is a whole lot more
sports indulged In behind the line
than you would imagine. Plenty of
baseball is played by the men, but
the character of the sports, of course,
depends largely on the whims of the
officers in charge. Some of them are
not so keen for sports, and. of course.
their men don't have so much of
them"

CAPITAL FOOTBALL ROUGH
Fish Are Calling For Help;
Now the Time to Save 'Em
BY TOM MARSHALL

Help! Helpi Rescue or / perish.
How quickly We would respond to
a call of this character and rush
TO the assistance of suffering hu-
manity should the above appeal
reach our ears. Take a stroll in the
open. follow the rivers. visit the
bayous. locate the inland lakes,
where the water is shallow and grad
ually evaporating. In the near fu-
ture the fins and tails of fish will
be exposed; little later the water
will be entirely gone. You will
hear the dog fish bark out their
misery and the cat fish meow for
assistance. Intelligence or intuition
advises them in advance of the evap-
oration or solid freezing of these
lakes. both conditions mean death to
the fish.
Rescue work is the only effective
answer to their plea. This must be
done by the devotees of the rod or
the fishermen whose financial inter-
ests are served. Now is the ac-
cepted time and the work should be
done at once. Game Warden and
Deputies of the different states
should be actively engaged in this
work, directing and assisting at all
times the rescue parties, while they
are conserving our food supply by
rescuing fish from the shallow lakes
or ponds. Liberal appropriations
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-10-14

should be made by the legislatures
of every state to be utilized in this
work, under the direction of the
Commissions or Warden.
Do fish suffer when hooked? 1t
is claimed by many recognized au-
thorities that the cartilaginous tis-
sue surrounding the mouth of fish
is devoid of nerves hence nom
susceptible to pain. Admitted, to
close the argument, that the claim
has been proven. This is no evil
dence that fish do not suffer as the
water slowly evaporates, leaving
them imbedded in the mud or in
crusted in the solid ice to die a
lingering death. Rescue! Imme-
diately seine the shallow lakes,
transplant the fish into living water.
Let your seine mesh be small. fing-
erlings and fry now saved mean
credible creel decorators in the near
future. Fish you rescue are accli-
mated and accustomed to individual
rustling, their chances to mature are
even better than these hand raised
or hatchery propagated.
Cooperate with your State Warden
and Deputies, or better-devote in
dividual time and efforts to seining
and saving the game fish for pros
pective food consumption. Rescue
the pershing fish; care for the dy-
ing"

Sightseers who visit that great edi-

notice for themselves many things
that are interesting. For instance. II
they would observe the brownish-
gray walls of the rotunda they would
understand just what was the color of
the White House (huilt of sandstone
from the same quarry before 1T was
burned in 1914.
The outside of the building (bar-
ring the iron dome and white marble
wings) is of the same material. and
to paint it is a task that occupies
thirty-five painters for thirteen
weeks.
So thick and massive is the ma
sonry structure that the interior is
like series of caverns-always cool
even on the hottest days of Wash
ington summer.
Repairs cost $4,000 a year, and
mainly for this purpose workshops
are maintained in the sub-basement.
There is a paint shop, a carpenter
shop, plumbers shop and a machine
shop down below ground
The building has $40 windows and

distant at cost-of $4,000 per an

Flying With ShaHer
LETTERS FROM DAUpHN COUNTY BOY TO HIS MorHE
ACTION IN THE AIR

remember the words you had writ
ten of Bishop" never to take any
unnecessary chances" Anyway, there
we were. two little Frenchmen hump
ing 1t for home with five Boche under
us and three more at our same level
looking as IT, they might catch us.
say two, because my leader, hav-
ing lower-powered plane than ours
was endeavoring to get away by div
ing to a lower level. That did not
appeal to me though, seeming more
dangerous and when he came home
and said he had fell among seven
was convinced of the wisdom of my
decision, for l chanced the menace OF
the three Huns and kept heading
straight ahead. AS they drew closer
and l could distinguish their chunky
lines. and their white tails with it's
black cross l had a sudden desire to
meet them head on, and fight it out
With this thought in mind, I looked
up at the strange Spad overhead to
see whether he had the same thought
for he was higher than the Huns and
thus in more advantageous posi-
tion while L was on the same level
"Bang" Go Boches
But apparently he had no such de-
sire. for he kept right on going and
made no sign of showing fight, Sc
seeing that the odds were three to
one not very favorable at that l re-
linguished the idea of opening fire
but If was undecided the Boche were
not, for about that time they decided
! they were close enough and opened
fire with both guns-all three OF
! them They didn't follow us far, foi
would you believe it. we ran plunk
hn
around in their circle formation al
all heights while several Spads high
overhead dove down now and then
to the attack. Talk about being be-
tween the devil and the deep blue
sea! Golly! 1 sure was glad I had
not stopped to cross bullets with
those three. for those ten coming up
on the other side would sure have
made 1t hot for me. AS it was had
troubles enough and three Boche on
my tan not withstanding. 1 proceeded
to get some more space under me
for several of those ten were as high
as I was. 1 lost track of the other
Spad about that time and also the
original three Boche.
Home in a Thunderstorm
Incidentally, several of the second
patrol at probably 200 meters under
me stood up on their tails and began
speaking their little piece also. By
this time I had been shot at so often
that L was getting sore, and seeing
favorable opportunity as one Boche
turned to regain his patrol, 1 turned
both guns on him and did a little
shooting myself. True. did not
knock him down. but IL was a grim
relief to see my bullets go sailing
towards him like little sparks OF
fire.
When I pulled out of the dive IN
which 1 had been throwing flaming
stars around so promiscuous, another
Spad shot past me who had dropped
down from above-and then they
shot at us some more. I jumped in
friendly cloud then. and seeing
that had been out nearly my limit
of time I came out of the cloud and
headed home. One would think had
done enough lodging for one day.
but on my way home L had to dodge
a thunderstorm. And believe me a
thunderstorm seen from aloft Is an
awe-inspiring spectacle.

BEAR SEASON TO
OPEN TOMORROW
If You Run Across One After
Midnight 1t Is All Right to
Bag Him; Quail Oct. 81

While the open season for small
game. such as squirrel and quail, Will
not come in until October 20. or, le-
gally, until October 81. real big game.
such as bear, may be shot on and
after Tuesday, October 15. but it is
hardly likely there will be a big rush
to the mountains for this kind of
game. Notwithstanding the fact that
bear are unusually plentiful on Centre
county mountains this year. In fact,
a few have displayed a particular
fondness to come out Of the mountain
Businesses on various occasions and
exhibit themselves TO the travelling
public.
SO far as quail are concerned they
are a norentity in Centre county and
not worth bothering about. There
are some squirrel in woodlands where
nuts abound. but so far they have not
been seen in any great numbers. and
hunters are likely to find the pursuit
of small game q rather irksome sport
this year. Ordinarily pheasants pro-
vided the best hunting and attracted
good shots from all over the state, but
tais year Centre county has been clos
ed to the hunting OF these toothsome
birds and local hunters are regarding
it as a blessing in disguise. because
so many hunters from other counties
hogged the sport every year and the
man who went out for only a day at
a time stood little chance OF getting
anything.
When the wild turkey season comes
in it is probable that greater num-
Der of hunters will be attracted to the
woods. as they are reported quite
plentiful. but the real hunting will
not begin until the opening OF the
deer season. Last season there were
more deer killed in the Centre coun-
ty mountains than in any season for
several years, and woodsmen report
deer very plentiful this year. Just
why this is the case is hard to under
stand when nothing but bucks can be
killed and the kill last year was about
l50.
