To-night's Schedule
NewsieS VS.. Belmont Jrs.

A real, honest-to- goodness base
ball league was born late yesterday
afternoon in Harrisburg and ten
minutes after being organized two of
the clubs were on their way to the
Harrisburg athletic field on the
island to make history with the open
ing battle. The enterprise in form
ing a league in midseason is GER
tainly commendable and promises
that the Industrial Twilight League
will have i prosperous and long ca
reer. The promoters who attended
the meeting were: ]. 5. Belsinger'
representing the Suburban Knights;
T. H. Davis, representing the Bel
mont Juniors; ]. w. Holahan and
Dewitt Wohlfarth, representing the
Newsies: John Appleby, representing
the Appleby outfit; W. l.. Barley,
representing the Evangelical Print
Kiwanis team.
The schedule of games in this new
league which will use the II. A. Z.
diamond for its sport provides that
each club will play once in week.
The season runs until September IL
and that gives time for each club to
play two games with each of the
other clubs. 1t is expected that as
these teams represent progressive
firms and activities that trophies for
championship will be provided later
on.
The opening of the season saw Ap-
pleby Brothers defeat Kiwanis, due
largely to the clever pitching of
Sanders, a Newport boy who must
have become an employe of Apple
by's very recently. for most of his
close friends think he is working in
the Marysville yards. However,
Sanders held Kiwanis to four hits
and Appleby managed to nick Bill
Fortna, famous Allison Hill twirler,
for seven bingles. Wingeard, cspe-
cially. took a fancy to Bill's slants.

Fifteen Speckled Trout Caught With
Angle-Worn Stumped Tom Marshall

The melting pot will be the great
leveler at the conclusion of the
worlds war. This we all admit and
insist upon without contradiction;
it is along the lines of a successful
nation. The building up of social
barriers in a very brief interval,
creates snobbery. especially is this
true when social preferment is
based upon "get rich quick" accom-
plishments. If the odor of Goldfish"
is permitted TO permeate the atmos-
phere, to the exclusion and under
estimating of the less fortunate A.
nancially, il is a certain breeder of
socialism, which in turn creates un-
rest and labor troubles.
The mention of Goldfish" brings
me back to earth and the fact that
am a sports writer and must not
diverge into the channels of sordid
business.
The melting pot may be crowded
TO white heat, the blower may be ad-
justed, and every artificial heat pro-
duced which would ordinarily assim-
ilate any and all factions, yet there
will remain in the sporting world
elements which will not be incor-
porated together. The man who
shoots the twenty-guage gun, when
he meets n man afield with a ten

pliments of the day, but the line of

with himself an inward conversa-

which he does not want to expect an

ANSWERS TO NINTRODS
Question: What was the result of
the race betwene Billy Heer and
Frank NJ. Troeh, on 500 targets re-
Gently shot. Was much money bet
on results?
Indianapolis, Ind.
JOHN HARRINGTON.
Answer: The race was won by
Mr. Heer, by a margin of three birds,
the race was shot under adverse
conditions and scores were not up to
their average. 1t was estimated by
those present that approximately
$50, 200 was bet on the outcome of
the race. 1t is rumored that Troeh
will again challenge. Almost the
entire amount wagered was in Lib
erty Bonds as was the stakes in the
main event.
Question: Why don't the shooting
fraternity make their prizes Liberty
Bonds? This would be patriotic and
prove very popular.
Troy, n. Y.
JAMES FEATHERSTONE.
Answer: This has been followed
to a considerable extent. 1t has re-
mained Cor the Wilmington. Del
aware, Trapshooters' Association at
their tournament to be held July
1921, in Wilmington. to add an
event known as the Liberty Bond
special. The entrance is a $50 Lib
erty Bond. This will insure one of
the very best three-day shoots held
this year.
Question: Are the men in aviation
camps making headway learning
wing shooting, what is the object of
teaching them that?
Fort Wayne, Ind.
NJ. G. BRUNO.
Answer: The aces of the air in
the ground schools at the aviation
camps are learning rapidly and be-
coming very expert in wing shoot
ing. They are being intensiveliy
trained on flying targets for the rea-
son that the shooting they will be
called upon to execute in mid air will
be at rapidly moving objects from
field that is moving with equal or
greater rapidity. The one great es-
sential for successful air-fighting is
a knowledge of leads. distance and
velocity, which can only be attained
by practice in wing shooting. When
our boys get actively to work on the
Boches in midair, there will be an
awakening, many of the prospective
aviators are selected from the ranks
of expert trapshoots and will make
acceptable returns.
