American Six Built and
0. KID by Famous Racer

The American Six Touring Car,
soldl in Harrisburg and vicinity by
the American Auto Company, is the
car that was designed. built and
O. KID by one of the most famous
racers of the times. Louis Chevrolet
In building this car Mr.. Chevrolet
put into it all the principles of sure
ness ana economy that was possible
In all the racing cars driven by Chew
rolet these qualities were brought out
and taking all of the salient points
of every car Of his experience, he
has developed a car of as near per-
fection as possible.
The American is a light weight
car weighing possibly 1000 under the
average Of cars of its type. The
scientific distribution of weight over
an exceptionally long wheel base
gives additional power and fleXibility
Economical upkeep both in gasolene
and tires are one of the essential
points in buying an American.
Comfort is another good quality of
this car. All the various points that
are adapted to giving comfort in
these cars are strongly brought out.
Strong semi-eliptic springs extra
heavy upholstering. plenty of elbow
room and many other features are in
on the drive for comfort
The American Auto Company is
managed by Mr.. c. A. Slough. The
salesrooms and service station are
located in the rear of Front and
Forester streets.

New Internationals Ready
if Backers Materialize

New York, April 13.-Although the
Assembly Rules Committee at Albany
yesterday virtually decided against
legalizing professional baseball on
Sundays in this state. the promoters
of the new International League de-
clared last night that they had fully
organized the new circuit and every
thing gave promise of successful
season this year. No changes were
made in the cities to which fran
chises had been awarded and the cir
cult will embrace Toronto, Buffalo,
Rochester, Syracuse, Binghamton,
Jersey City, Newark and Baltimore.
Four managers were named yester-
day, as follows: Toronto, Dan How
leyi Buffalo. George Wiltse; Syracuse,
i. j. Donovan, and Rochester, Arthur
Irwin. New financial backing has
been secured for the Newark and
Syracuse clubs and President Farrell
stated that no other applications for
league membership would be consid-
cred. He announced that the pro-
moters were thoroughly satisfied
with the progress made so far and
hoped that the arrangement of play
ing dates would be completed by to-
The greater part of the three ses-
sions held here yesterday was devot-
ed to preparation of 140-game
schedule, and the division of holiday
dates was "a matter which caused
considerable delay

ent regulations, shooting before sun
rise is forbidden; but there has been
a great demand, especially from
western states, for change in this
regulation. The representation is
made that in many of these states
ducks leave the lakes early in the
morning to feed in the fields, and do
not return until nightfall. This is
particularly the case in the inter-
mountain states, where there is not
a great deal of water, and the op-
portunities to shoot waterfowl are
few.
With Syracuse out, Newark doubt
full and Buffalo depending on Sunday
baseball, the International League
officials are going right ahead, ar
ranging a schedule and preparing
for start in May. They are fool
ing only themselves. 1t might be
possible to get one or two Blue
Ridge towns to jump.
Tech tossers will battle tonight
with Harrisburg Independents. 1t
will end the cage season in this city.
Local fans look for a red hot game,
and they are not likely to be dis
appointed. The Maroon cagers have
been working hard. They are not
worried about Eastern League rules.
It will be a Red Cross benefit fea-
ture.

Readings hopes for Glass A. A.
baseball were soon blasted. Some
towns never know when they have
enough. Reading is entitled to good
baseball, and will get it, but not un-
til after the war is over. Like Har-
risburg. that city has been a goat"
too often. Old-time baseball rivalry
will come again. Be patient.
According to one official of the
Harrisburg Lawn Tennis Association
this annual city tennis tourname
will start on August l. 1t will be
held on the Reservoir courts. This
is Harrisburg's annual tennis clas-
sic and this years entries promise
to break all records.

ject to recall upon five days notice

Local Anglers May
Start Season Later:
Streams Too Muddy

Local anglers are not very enthusi-
astic about starting the season on
Monday. The law gives them the
right to fish for speckled beauties
any time after midnight Sunday. Re-
cent weather conditions, however,
have put a crimp in prospects for
ideal stream conditions.
Many office signs reading, "Out of
town to-day" have been pigeonholed
until conditions are more favorable.
OF course there will some go out.
Harrisburg has a number of Isaak
Walton followers who never miss
a. first day." no matter what hap
pens. If they only make one cast. or
decide to fish for anything they can
catch, they will be out on Monday.
Indications are that. trout streams
will not be very inviting on Mon
day. Many are rushing torrents of
muddy water. Even mountain
streams, it is said, are not favorable.
Trout is expected to be plentiful
this year, and there viii be enough
nice days before July 10 when the
season ends to give local fishermen
plenty of good sport.
Escape Hard Winter
1t is the general belief that the
trout will not be found to have suf-
fered unduly because of the severity
of last winters weather. 1t was
feared the going out of the ice would
catch many trout and grind them
to pieces against the sides, bottoms
or between the cakes. But the trout
move down into the depths of the
larger streams and there pass the
winter. OF course severe weather,
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-04-13

floods, ETC., affect the trust unfavor-
ably, but not nearly so much as the
other eXtreme-eXtremely hot
weather and long dry spells.
Under reasonably favorable condi-
tions good fishing season may be
expected this spring, for a number
of reasons. One is that the state has
been planting millions of small trout
each year, another is that the last
three seasons have been bad fishing
years-that is. bad for the angler
and good for the ashland the usual
tribute of trout has not been ex-
tracted from the streams, but has
been left to grow and multiply.
Millions of Trout Fry
Two and a half millions of trout,
all over a year old, were distributed
in Pennsylvania during 1917, accord
ing to areport compiled by Commits
sioner of Fisheries n. r. Butler. All
of the trout were taken from the
states hatcheries and placed in
streams throughout the state. Plans
are being made to exceed this distri-
button in 1918.
The 1917 distribution season,
which ended in November, was
marked by much support from the
distribution work from fishermen.
During the year there were put but
2 100000 brook trout, one, two years
old: 100000 brown trout and 100,-
600 lake trout. Four hundred thou
sand blue gills," many two years
old; 100000 yellow perch; 250,000
small mouth bass; 100000 catfish:
l 900, 900 minnows and 5000 frogs
were other items of distribution.

AL McCIoskey Wins in
Hard-F ought Ring Battle

Camp Dix, Wrightstown, y. j.,
April 13.-In the bitterest ring fight
that boxing enthusiasts have wit
messed here, Al McCloskey, of Com
pany II, Thirty-fourth engineers,
won the Camp Dix heavyweight
championship on foul committed
by his opponent, Sam Nolan, of Bat
terry c, 309th field artillery, when
the latter sent in a terrific blow be-
low the belt. The foul was COM
mitted in the third round when both
fighters were striving for a knock
out.
Nolan, a New York cannoneer,
who has won several bouts in mis-
struggle toward the finals, had the
best Of the first round. McCloskey,
the famous old sledge-hammer hit
ter from North Jersey, woke up in
the second and from then until the
foul ended the fight it was a pretty
even go.
Sergeant Johns, of the 307th field
artillery, won the 155-pound cham
pionship by a knockout from Private
p. Martin, of Company II, 153d de-
pot brigade, in the third round. Both
fighters had vanquished some of the
best scrappers in their class in the
camp
At the end of four three minute
rounds, Private John Buffalo, Of
Company II, 153d depot brigade, was
awarded the decision by Referee jeff
Smith over Private c. w. Brooks,
of Company G, 312th infantry, in
the finals of the 135-pound class.

ATHLETIC KITS
FOR SOLDIERS
Training Camp Commission
Is Active; Many Bouts
For Soldier Boys

Washington, April 13. - Through
the athletic division of the War De-
partment Commission on Training
Camp Activities efforts are being
made to furnish each company going
to France with box of athletic
goods as a part of their regular mill
tary equipment.
The boxes contain one dozen base
balls, four ball bats. one catchers
chest protector, mask and mitt, one
first baseman's glove, six play
ground balls, two playground bats,
four soccer balls, two footballs and
extra bladders, one mending outfits,
two volleyballs, ten sets of boxing
gloves. one medicine ball, and one
basketball.
Guide Books Too
Anticipating that disputes may
arise among the soldiers in the
course of their games, the commits
sion also has included guide books
on baseball, football, soccer and box
ing.
In furnishing the boxes the Train
ing Camp Commission is endeaVoring
to supply the men with equlpment
for such sports as baseball, football,
soccer and boxing, which it is en-
couraging particularly in the train
ing camps because of their military
as we'll as recreational value. Nearly
600 boxes already have been sent to
units here and abroad.

WEATHER CRIMPS
COLLEGE WORK
Indians and Dickinson Ath-
letes Train Indoors; Game
For Harrisburg

Carlisle. Pa, April 13.-The win
ter bareback this week considerably
hampered local athletic prepara-
tions. both the Carlisle Indians and
Dickinson athletes being prevented
from undergoing the special practice
mapped out for the last six days.
However, indoor track work was sub
stituted whenever possible and the
setback may not be so serious as at
first forecasted.
Coach Harris gave his battery men
at the Indian school special work
in the big cage. The other members
of the team were kept in condition
by calesthenics and indoor work also
At the earliest possible moment field
work will be resumed. The showing
in the first game was somewhat dis
appointing, but the faults discovered
will be rectified at once.
Game in Harrisburg
Interest now centers in a game
being arranged for Memorial Day
at Harrisburg with a team from the
aviation camp at Middletown, and
in the Penn relays the latter part
of this month.
Coach Denny has a large field of
candidates from which to select his
quartet and with several veterans in
class by winning their event. Coach
O'Neil kept his Lacrosse men as
busy as possible and will make up
for lost time as soon as the weather
clears.
DOingS at Dickinson
At Dickinson the main event of
interest for the trackmen is the
Penn relays. The showing made
against the Indians in the opening
meet was considered good in view of
the many setbacks of the year, loss
of veterans to the Army, and the
fact that special classes to make
early closing possible have restrict
ed time.
Coach MacAndrews considers as
likely candidates for the team. Nc
Neal, the manager and q veteran OF
last year; Captain Saul Flood, main
ly known as a distance runner and
holder of several records in those
classes, and Davis, of the law school,

Urgent Appeal Made for
More Red Cross Workers

An urgent appeal for more Red
Cross workers has been issued by
Miss Anne Mccormick. supervisor of
Chapter. American Red Cross. Miss
McCOTmick's statement follows:
THE Red Cross workroom needs
more workers. We have a very inn
portant order from the United States
Government of front line packets. If
one of these packets reaches a man
four hours after he is wounded it
will save his life. If the women can't
fight, we can at least do this much.
Give a little more Red Cross work
and do something for our men. Three
rooms is nothing compared to waht
our men are doing. 1t is our duty
to come and bring new workers"
