compelled to take the Red Cross plant
for army needs Dawson and his fell
lows Of the Red Cross gladly moved
out and quickly assembled and builded
another dispatching depot for their
own needs. The spirit of the Organi-
zation Is that OF service. And have
seer enough Of It's workings to con-
vince me that 1t is something a little
more than mere service -perhaps serv-
ice plus efficiency would best describe
II.
It seems to me that the time has
come when there should be an even
larger national appreciation Of the Red
Cross. Today II has only begun to
touch the surface Of the American peO-
pie. Continued lighting and extended
casualty lists will force It far beneath
the skin. II cannot be embarrassed
for lack Of funds. You and | cannot
afford to have 1t embarrassed, to be
compelled TO turn any Of its energies
from the saving Of human life to mere
grubblng for cold cash.
II is time that America formed a
new habit. We have some big and
fairly expensive national tastes al

New Mexico Did Her Best

At the time of the considera
ton of the conference report on
the Sedition Act, Congressman
Walton of New Mexico express
ed himself in the following
words:
we are not playing tennis
we are at war. We are sending
our sons and brothers to France
to be shot down in the hottest
cause for which any nation ever
took arms. There is not one Of
us who would not, if he could
stand by in the flesh and help
bear the burden, help stand the
shock of the Huns onslaught,
help stand the awful privations
and sufferings of the trenches.
New Mexico has given freely
and gladly to this war. She has
sent her best blood to fight the
battle of freedom, and she has
not complained. Seven thousand
five hundred sturdy young Amer
icans-over sixteen hundred of
them volunteers-attes the fact
that New Mexico is no Stacker.
You have heard of no labor
troubles, no draft riots, no pa
cifist demonstrations in New
Mexico. New Mexico has not
done her ''bit"-she has done
her best"

these and the proceeds turned to an en-
tirely new habit would be a mighty
good thing at this time. And for that
hfth habit / am going to propose the
Red Cross-the Red Cross habit, II you
please. II will be a habit the gathered
money Of which will 60 to the credit,
not Of yourself. but of the greatest
charity that America e has Known,
which makes this neW habit more than
a habit-a real virtue-the virtue Of
self sacrifice.

Do not face him With the reprOachful
suggestion that he has seen you be-

many ways the biggest and richest in
the world, but 1t is not big enough nor
rich enough that folks with money can
escape with but a single invitation to
contribute.
That is why I suggest the Red CrOss
habit-the continuous setting aside Of
definite sums Of money by patriotic
Americans against the Red Cross
drives. It is a habit which I cannot
commend too heartily to you.

With two-thirds of the Allison Hill
baseball schedule completed, the race
has almost narrowed down for the
final honors to Reading and Rose
wood. The present week will de-
termine what chance the Galahad
tossers have, as they must meet
Rosewood twice and Reading once. 1t
will be a severe test. f or the
Knights" and il they can pull
through this week they still have a
chance for some of the honors.
Chances favor the two leaders, who
have admirable players, and each
aggregation has it's followers. To
pick out. certain players on each
team would almost be the same as
going over the entire roster. There
is scarcely a weak spot. Depend
able George Levan. is almost always
sure to return a winner. Don"
Werts is likely to be used by Read
ing during the remainder of the sea-
son. Earl Waltz is the third of the
railroads triumvirate. Added to their
skilful pitching is the fact that they
are all heavy hitters; in fact, among
the best of the league.
Compared with the Reading fling
ers, Rosewood has its three "Ls"-

ers, upon whom Manager Killinger
can depend in a pinch. Landis has
had college experience, being a mem
ber of the University of West Vir-
ginia staff for several seasons. The
other two tossers are local products
who have worked their way up to
the top. Leidig comes from High
spine and Longenecker halls from
Penbrook.
An important business meeting of
the league officials and managers
will be held Wednesday evening.
The election of president to sue
ceed c. Howard Reel, who has moved
from the city and action on the
Reading protest will be taken at that
time.
Left field in this league can be
truthfully termed a garden. Some
patriotic Hill resident has started a
war garden in deep left field, so that
the player in this position occasion
ally has to get into the garden to
catch the ball.
Tim" Euker is getting a better
reputation every contest he plays as
! sure y hycatcher. When batters
drive balls to center field they stop
running.
Since the Hick-A-Thrift team start
ed to win they have. been more than
holding their own. All the teams in
the league fear them.
Biever, the Galahad twirler, is one
of the hard-luck pitchers of the
league. No matter how good a game
he pitches, it is difficult for him to
win at any time.
Secretary Fritz and his assistant,
Harold Cobaugh, are preparing av-
erages of the players to date. Some
interesting figures are promised in
batting and fielding.
Eddie" Geary, the Rosewood
shortstop, covers as much ground
as any other player in the league on
the infield positions. His accurate
fielding cuts off many a hit.
One of the best of the younger
players in the league is Birdie"
Hinkle. He has played practically
every position on the team. In ad-
dition to being versatile, he is also
a timely batter.

Be Star Driver at Union
town Motor Races

All eyes in the motor world will be
turned, shortly, on the enterprising
village of Uniontown. where million
aires are common as turnips and
where drivers of world fame love to
contend on the magnificent speedway.
The historic Independence Auto Derby
is to be run there July IS, and the in
dications are that a mighty throng
from Western Pennsylvania will at
tend. All the star drivers of the coun-
try, DePalma, Milford Chevrolet. and
not forgetting Hickey, will be on the
program, which is by all odds the
best card ever offered at Uniontown.
Fayette county will turn out by
thousands just to see it's hero, ID. w.
Hickey, of Connellsville, who very re-
Gently, was only a workman in a gar
age there. Now he has won the
friendship of the greatest drivers in
the game and the respect and support
of speedway fans the country over.

Hickey after the race at Chicago last
month, when Hickey finished fourth
after a remarkable display of skilled
and consistent driving. Those who
know Ralph best know that this is
out of the ordinary for the taciturn
Ralph to comment on the driving of
"a competitor.
Hickey was tutored in the early
stages of his racing by Smiling Ralph
Milford, and the Fayette county boy
was quick to pick up the angles of the
game. This year he finished fifth at
Sheepshead Bay and fourth at Chi
cago. Last year his record was ex
traordinary. Resta, after watching
the performance of this Fayette coun-
ty phenom, declared that driver
must beat Hickey to win. 81
Hickey is popular with all of the
drivers. He handles q car after tire
bursts like the late Spencer Wishart,
who was never known to lose control
of his car. Hickey will drive in the
Independence Auto Derby and the
Australian pursuit race on July IS.
He will pilot the car in which Mulford

To tie Editor of the Telegraph:

My attention has been directed to
articles appearing" in recent issues of
the Telegraph urging young men to
learn to shoot and quoting recon-
mendations along that line from
prominent Army officers.
These articles appeal to the writer
as being most timely Just now. when
hundreds of our young men from this

into the, service of the United States.
1 am, indeed, glad that the Govern
mental authorities have fully awak-

training our young men to handle a

civilians. Nothing gives a recruit
more confidence than the. knowl-
edge that he has a dependable weapon
in his hands and can. use it effectively,
and just little bit quicker than his
adversary.
Realizing this need, a group of men
early in. 1916 organized a small rifle
shooting association in Harrisburg
and secured a charter under the title
of the Harrisburg Rifle Club. We
