Himself Best Matchshot
in the World

Seattle, Wash, June 29.-W. H.
Heer, of Guthrie, Okla, defeated
Frank NJ. Troeh, of Vancouver,
Wash, in what will go down in the
annals of trapshooting as one of
the, greatest matches ever shot.
The two stars shot at 500 targets
each, and the final result was 473
breaks for Heer to 470 for Troeh.
The men were shooting FOR a
purse of $4,000 in Liberty bonds, and
side bets estimated to have been
$4,000 in Liberty bonds.
The race took place in connection
with the thirty-fourth annual tour

On the first day the men shot at
100 targets and Troeh enjoyed a
three-bird lead at the finish, the
Washingtonian being credited with
95 breaks and the Oklahomian with
90.
The second days program called
for 200 targets, and Heer broke 1877
while Troeh got 1874. This placed
them on an even basis, each having
broken 297 out of 500.
On the third and last day Heer
shattered 1874 out of 200, while
Troeh had to be satisfied with 191.
This made Heer the winner by the
narrow margin of three bords.
Heer has been quite generally
nominated as the best matchshot
in the world" He is the 1918 cham
pion of Oklahoma, and last year

of the packing industry. In this
connection. it is said:
Five meat packers - Armour,
Swift, Morris, Wilson and Cudahy-
and their subsidiary and affiliated
companies have monopolistic con-
troll of the meat industry, and are
looking out for like domination in
other products. Their manipuIations
of the market embrace every device
that is useful to them without regard
to law Their reward, expressed in
terms of profit, reveals that four of
these concerns have pocketed in
1915, 1915 and 1917 $4,000, 900.
However delicate a definition is
framed for "profiteering" these
packers have preyed upon the pub
lie unconscionahly.,
Investigation in the coal mining
industry reveals in the opinion of
the commission that despite Govern
ment price fixing large margins of
profit have been made. Ranges in
the cost of production in a field hav-
ing the same maximum prices has
caused some operators to make small
margins of profit and others large
margins, the bulk of the production
enjoying the large margin.
Profits Arc Large
In the oil industry large profits
are now being made in fuel oil and
gasoline, the industry being one
where the law of supply and demand
still operates. The operation of this
law is held to be in part responsible
for the heavy profits but portion
of the blame is laid to the spreading
of false reports regarding supplies.
Steel companies made abnormal
profits before the Government fixed
a price for the product, and it is
shown that some have since made
unusual returns Profits of the Unit
ed States Steel Corporation are esti-
mated at 24.9 per cent. In 1917, as
compTeed with 1876 per cent. in
1915 and 81 per cent. in 1915.
In virtually every one of the other
industries covered by the report, it
is shown unusually heavy profits
have been made in the last few
years Abnormal salaries are also
shown to have been paid executive
officials.
Trade practices contributing in ad-
dition to profits to higher prices to
consumers are noted as failure to
ship goods on a rising market or
refusal to accept Goods on a falling
market. commercial bribery and the
tendency of manufacturers to main
tain q resale price.

KILLNGER IS
WHOLESHOW
Responsible For Six of Eight
Runs That Rosewood Made
Against Reading
ALLISON HILL LEAGUE
LAST NIGHTS RESULT
Rosewood, 8: Reading, 5.
STANDING OF THE CLUBs

After the Reading Railway team
won seven straight games in the AL
/ lison Hill League, defeating Rose
wood in thrilling contest Thursday
evening. the Rosewood aggregation
succeeded in taking the measure of
the railroaders by score of to 5.
While the contest was hard fought,
the playing was rather loose, in di-
rect contrast to the ball played by
the two clubs on the previous even
ing.
A coincidence of the game is the
fact that each of the teams scored
in the odd innings. First Rosewood
would score, then Reading would fol-
low suit. the difference in the final
total being that the winners tailed in
larger punches than the losing team.
Rosewood won the game in the
third and fifth innings, when they
scored trio of runs each time. In
the third. Earl Killinger drove in
two runs with a clean single over
second. The catcher came home on
Garverich's single. Killinger alone
was responsible for six of the eight
Rosewood tallies. He scored three
times himself. In the third he drove
in two runs and in the fifth Glenn
scored when Earl doubled.
Loose fielding on the part of Rose
wood and timely hitting by Tim"
Euker and George Swartz were re-
sponsible for most of the scoring by
the railroad team. "Os" Waltz
walked three times in four trips to
the plate. Geary played a good field
ing game, stopping several drives
that looked good for hits. Reading
was short of pitching material, and
George Levan was forced to go to
the mound for the second successive
evening. He pitched a good game.
Leidig kept the Reading hits scat
tered, only three of the batters hit
ting safely. The pitcher also raped
out three-base hit. Last nights
game cuts down the Reading lead to
two games over Galahad and Rose
wood, who are tied for second place.
