and arrow at moving object.

bore bore guns best for sman small game gSIspx

AS Barney Oldfeld stepped out,
Ralph De Palma, the brown-eyed,
dark-haired Italian magician of the
motor, has stepped in. Plotting a
Packard special, propelled by one
of the new Liberty motors. he won
on Saturday at Sheepshead Bay
the International Sweepstakes in
straight heats before a throng of
$4,000. Circling the big bowl at a
clip that dazzled the spectators and
left all contestants in his wake, De
Palma convincingly proved his skill
and daring as driver and demon
strated that the Liberty motor is
the best on earth.
Five other world-famous drivers,
Ralph Mulford. twenty-four hour
king: Dario Resta, of England. the
speed champion of 1915 and 1916;
Arthur Duray, of Belgium, who
drove 141 miles in an hour over the
Straightaway course at OStend in
1918; Louis Chevrolet, of France,
the Speedway champion OF 1917. and
Ira Vail, of Brooklyn, challenged
the superiority of De Palma. Null
ford finished second, Resta third
and Duray fourth. The other two
starters did not complete their stint.
The contest was run in five heats
or two miles, ten miles, twenty miles
thirty miles and fifty miles, and in
each the cream -colored car of De
Palma shot with Cannonball speed
up the stretch ahead of the field.
Speedway records were wrecked by
Ralph in four of fives heats, and in
one of them two former marks were
shattered to smithereens.
De Palma started his assault on
Father Time in the opening heat
OF two miles, in which he whizzed
across the line in 1:05.60, seven and
one quarter seconds faster than the
former record made by Resta at
Sheepshead bay last year.
Then De Palma drove ten miles in
5:2S.S0. exactly one second better
than his own worlds mark of
5:24.SO, made in Chicago last July.
De Palma covered the last two miles
of the heat in 1:02.2. surprising the
record he had made a few moments
before in winning the first heat 1t
was the fastest competitive two
miles yet driven on circular track,
though in a special time trial in
Chicagi on July % De Palma was
clocked for two miles in 1902.

NEW WORK TAKEN
UP BY RESERVES
Men of Older Years Will Be
Given Training to Help
Winters Draftees

Arrangements were made Satur-
day by Major Henry NJ. Stine, COM
mandant of the Harrisburg Reserves,
for new line of work to be taken
up by the members of the Harris
burg Reserves who have been giving
attention three evenings a week in
this city and in the upper end bor-
oughs on Saturday afternoons to
drilling men of draft age. Major
Stine plans TO have men beyond the
draft age at present assembled in
various towns and given instruction
so that they will be posted if they
are called and can also act as drill
masters FOR the men to be drawn
later in the year. The men being
drilled now are all in class l and
will be called out inside of a month
or so.
Saturday twenty members of the
Reserves went to six upper end
towns in the Elizabethville, or No. s
draft district, and drilled the drafted
men, a number of whom will go to
Camp Lee next week. Captain F. H.
Hoy. Jr., was in charge at Miilers-
burg and Lykens; Lieutenant S. E.
Fitting at Halifax and Williamstown
and Captain w. r. Moore at Eliza
bethville and Gr4tZ. In addition to
the facings and foot movements the
draftees We're given some setting
up exercises and the Reserves took
along some of their drill guns and
preliminary instruction in the man
ual of aims was given, the work at
Gratz and Williamstown showing
that the men grasped the way TO
handle rifles very quickly. 1t was
the first time for this instruction and
it was offered earlier than usual be-
cause of the short time before the
draftees have left before going to
camp. At several places relatives
of the boys in the draft age thanked
Major Stine for the instruction given
by the Reserves and the apprecia-
ton of the trips made to the upper
end has been general. Next Sat-
urday in addition to the upper end,
Reserves will go to towns in the No.
., or PaXtang. boards district which
may be designated by Chairman Ar
thur H. Bailey.
Under the new plan, several men
have been designated at each of the
upper end towns visited to organize
classes. At Lykens the principal
of the Wisconisco High school,
will have charge of the draft
ed men and citizens classes dur
ing the week. He was at Camp
of squad drills on Saturday after
noon.
Flavel L. Wright, who made the
Red Cross address at the Killinger
community picnic, accompanied the
Reserves details to Millersburg,
Elizabethville and Lykens, explain
ing the army insurance plan to
young men of draft age and telling
them what Uncle Sam is doing for
their welfare and the protection of
their families.
Tonight a detail of the Reserves
will be at the Island to drill any
men from the city draft districts.
Captain /. V. Harvey will be in
charge.

Hal Chase, crack first 'baseman of
the Cincinnati Reds, who was sus-
pended on charge of frequenting pool
rooms and making bets, has denied
he made any wagers on ball games.
However, he admitted visiting pool
rooms and betting on horse races.
After a conference with President
Garry Hermann, of the Cincinnati
Club, Chase was told his case would
go before the National League au-
thorities. Chase made the following
statement: Il won't dodge the issue;
1 visited the pool rooms and bet on
ball games or throw down my team.
That is a wild rumor."
Although the greatest first base
man of all time many persons believe
that Hal has played his last game in
major baseball. Chase has been a
trouble maker for every major league
manager he ever played under. He

however, before it was whispered
around that he and Clark Griffith,
then leader of the Yankees, were not
getting along especially well togeth-
er. In 1908 he quit the club and
signed with the stockton CLUB or
the outlaw California State League,
and it was with great difficulty that
Frank Farrell persuaded the Nation
al commission to reinstate him in
1909.
Chase behaved pretty we'll that
year, but the following season found
him in serious difficulties with
George Stallings, who accused him of
deliberately missing signals and in
other ways lying down" on the Yam
KEGS. 1t was largely because of
Chase's Vaccinations that Stallings
was dismissed as manager of the
New York club toward the close of
the 1910 campaign after steering the
Yankees into second place. Chase
managed the team during it's post
season series with, the Giants that
fall. and his blunders went a long
way toward assuring the success of
his National League rivals.
Hal was appointed manager of the
Yankees during the following winter,
but proved a dismal failure as lead
er, and in 1912 was back in the
ranks, playing under Harry Wolver-
ton. Then came the Chance regime,
and more trouble. The Yankees at

How about baseball politics?" he
was asked.
"Oh, dunno" came the reply. Guess
some of us old fellows will have to
get back in. there; that's all 1 can

John intimated that he would not
be averse to another shy at the old
game. Il can still go some," he said,
'and maybe 1 will, some of these
days"
Wag would not discuss world s

the race. so that Steelton's defeat is
not so disturbing. The Pointers hit
Plank hard. collecting two hits, and
Roth maintained his reputation of an
able twirler.
Fewster was the prime joy-killer
for the Point, bringing in a run in
the first when he opened with a
double. On Russells sacrifice he took
third. ]. Walsh singled to right went
to second while Brown was being
thrown out at first, and later scored
