the Officers Training School at
Plattsburg last August. Lieut.. Buer-
meyer was son of Harry A. Buer-
meyer, the oldest living member and
one of the founders of the Mercury
Foot Club, which he helped organ
ize nearly fifty years ago. The son
was a member of the New York Ath-
letic Club. He was % years old and
received his degree at Columbia in
1916.
A Yankee soldier somewhere in
the trenches who had a record for
hooking trout was moved, evidently
by profound respect for st. Peter
and hankering for the old shady
stream, to write the following to
a friend at home:
"Them sure was the haIcyon days."
says Pete,
As he twiried the golden key;
81 often wish chance to fish
Like 1 done in GaIilee."
"But i haven't the time Just now"
says Pete.
"Tm busy as L can be;
With lInittin' socks and tendin' locks
I'M uoln the work OF three"
~ hear from the heavenly scouts
says Pete,
"Since the Yankee lads joined in,
The place below where Boches go
Is packed like Al sardine tim"
''Why, they hadn't chance on
earth," says Pete,
They're queered for eternity
Gods will be done, for not a Hun
Is gettin' pass from me-"
Baseball fans who have remarked
upon the dignity possessed by Um-
pire Jack Sheridan upon the
diamond might gather the idea that
Jack was above cracking a joke.
But such is not the case. s,ra.s
At one of the league meetings
held a year or so ago in Chicago,
Sheridan was one of those who

What in the world will the men
do after the close OF the Allison Hill
baseball season." queried a wife one
day last week when she heard her
husband say that July &c will close
the regularly scheduled contests of
the league. Men and women, too,
come from all parts of the Hill sec
tions to witness the ball games every
night And now that another hour
has been added to the daylight, base
ball could be played during the month
of August.
But according to the plans, next
week will see the close of the sregu-
lar season. with Galahad and Hick-
A-Thrift having a game to play off
on July 29. Rosewood and Reading,
contenders for the pennant, will meet
Thursday night of this week. Next
week they will clash both Thursday
and Friday nights. On the results of
these three games hinges the pen-
nant.
Because the Reading team was
short of pitchers one week, and call
ed upon George Levan to twirl on
two successive evenings, some fans
Jestingly thrust upon George, the
sobriquet, 'Iron-Man." These rooters
did not know at that time how well
Leyan had earned that title. Not a
twirler in the league has taken part
in as many games as the Reading
II games, winning seven, losing three
and tieing one. Another game he
was taken out of the box at a time
that his team was ahead. So that
ne has percentage of 700. In the
dozen contests he has allowed az
| hlts, struck out 81 batters, and given
| IL bases on balls. He also had 5 put
9nts 9ns and u assists, and batted at a
pitcher in the league can boast of
! Other twirlers have better records
put they have played in a compare
lively few contests.
Gaiehad made good move in plac-
ing Joe" Fellows on first base. He
has long reach and has made good
| this position.
Bobby" Clark has shown plenty OF
| talent In the pitchers box, and with
little better support would turn in
more victories. His victory for Dun
cannon, Saturday, over Carlisle bears
out his statement.
Rickert, a former Dauphin-Perry
player, scored the only hit for Gala
had in his first contest Friday even
ing against Rosewood.
Hawley, the Galahad second sacker
mas been hitting at a terrific clip. A
| ms SiuS SlnB Is lIdL many
| of his drives are triples, with an oc-
casional home-run.
Dutch Conner adds lots OF
strength to Galahad. He is one of the
| best pitchers in the league.
Bill Shafer had several teeth
knocked loose Friday night by stop
| ping one of Corners fast in-shoots
with his jaw. The Rosewood captain
finished the game. although the acci-
| dent occurred in the first inning.

West Shore Authorities
Will Look Up Loafers

Authorities of all West Shore towns
will assist District Attorney George
e. Lloyd to make Cumberland county
100 per cent in labor service. Upon
receiving word from the Carlisle Of
fice that they were to cleanup their
boroughs, officials of the various
towns at once began to investigate
conditions.
Each West Shore burgess ha been
give instructions to see that police
officers apprehend and report all men
who are able to work and refuse to
do so. Constables in the townships
on the West Shore have been given
similar instructions. Burgesses were
unable to state to-day how many
men there were in their towns who
are not engaged in useful pursuit.
They admitted, however, that there
were few loafers and they would
follow out the county officials order
in assisting to break up acts of
vagrancy and loafing.

"Avast! Belay! Ere I am, matey,
as husky an OF sea dog as ever rolled
in a scupper; know me, don't yer?'
A fog-horn voice booned in New
York Y. NJ. c. A. headquarters and
Platt Adams, nearly wabbled off his
revolving chair. 1t was Tom Sharkey,
and Mr.. Adams unconsciously drew
back a bit, no doubt remembering
the dissolute joint that Tom ran on
Fourteenth street some years ago.
It's me-" bayed the voice from
a yard-wide bosom, the same bosom
winch took so many blows from
Jeffries, Corbett and Fitzsimmons.
Il want t jine the Y. NJ. C. A. and
go to tn trenches"
Adams handed Tom one penetrat-
ing, appraising scrutiny and must
have seen evidences of reform, for
he held out a pen and said: "If you
want to enlist with the Young Mems
Christian Association, sign up"
After celebrating with a lily cup
of ice water, Mr.. Sharkey allowed:
Il want to do my bit. I'm only A
and l can do something to help the
soldiers, 1 reckon. did think of re-
enlisting in the navy-remembel
how | was acclaimed the Fighting
Tar back in 1898 before l came
ashore to match my fists and my
wind with Corbett and the rest of the
great heavyweights? But as long as
Kaiser Bill keeps his navy bottled
up there doesn't seem much chance
of getting into the thick of it as a
sailor. 1 believe a Y. NJ. c. A. ply
sical director can manage to see
fighting sooner than a sailor. Be-
sides I've a son over there-Joe's in
the old Sixty-ninth-and 1 kinda
want to get somewhere near him"
Sharkey said he wouldn't insist on
doing athletics exclusively when he
gets to the soldiers. He'll be happiest
when boxing or putting up boxing
matches, but he's perfectly willing
to run store, operate an automo-
bile or put on movie-He'll conduct
meetings or anything, he said.

CENTRAL SERVE STATION
TO co on CASH BASIS

To the Public: Among other things,
the war economy board of the council
of national defense has requested that
business be conducted as far as pos
sible on a cash basis, especially with
respect to the sale of parts, acces-
soIfes and repairs. Jobbers, dealers
and garage men throughout the coun-
try are acceding to this demand. Plac-
ing business on a cash basis will do
more good to this country than can
be realized by the average dealer who
has been doing business by other
methods.
Compliance with the request of the
council of national defense will result
in saving a large amount of money for
war purposes and will eventually
place business on a much firmer foot
ing. This is especially true of the
must realize an actual cash profit on
each transaction. The cash basis is
the most firm foundation upon which
to build.
Our service in supplying stoc,, de
pends absolutely on the cooperation
of customers in placing our business
on a cash basis.
On and after November 1 no credit
will be extended to anyone and all
outstanding accounts must be paid by
that date.

JOHN {. BRAY is
LAUDED BY PAPER
(PoIltIcal Advertisementl


Superintendent John Edwards Bray
comes before the people of the state
asking for their support standing firm
ly on his record of work accomplished
during a life devoted to the upbuild-
ing of the schools of Nevada In the
candidacy of Mr. Bray for state super
intendent of schools the people have a
leader of demonstrated ability, not
merely a candidate of vague promises
and insidious insinuations.
Broad Experience
As principal of schools in Dayton
Gold Hill, Virginia City and Reno for
twenty-five years he made an impress
on school work in Nevada that hun
dreds of his former pupils, now sue
cessful men and women in all parts of
the west, remember with gratitude
Every school that he taught felt and
was improved by the vitalizing spirit
of his education, genius and his strong
personality. AS deputy superintendent
under State Superintendent Ring for
three years he carried his spirit of
enthusiasm and his progressive ideas
into a broader field embracing the
large fourth supervision district, with
it's six counties, and containing more
than two-fifths of the population of the
state. His large work as an educator
and supervisor thus made him the
logical successor to the state superin-
tendency upon the death of his able
and distinguished chief. in September
1910, and his election naturally fol-
lowed in November of that year and
again four years ago.
Real NOn-PartiSan
The personal boast of his opponent
that he would put politics out of the
schools and the people and progress
in" is an attempt to catch votes on
false premises, as the record amply
shows that politics has been OUT un-
der Superintendent Bray and the peo-
pie and progress have been notably IN.

filling vacancies on boards of school
