legislation sent to conference before the
holiday recess. planned TO begin Decem-
Der 20. Final enactment of the legisla-
ton is not probable, the leaders agreed,
until after congress reconyenes next
month. Confidence was expressed by
the conferees, however, that President
Wilson would await enactment of the leg
islation in January before giving back
the properties.
In his attack on the bill, Senator La
Toilette opposed immediate return of the
railroads to private ownership as i'm
practicable. urged a fiveyea extension
of government control and charged that
the pending measure was virtually for the
benefit of the railroads.
The senate Wednesday is expected to
report on an amendment just introduced
by Senator Myers. democrat. Montana,
eliminating provisions authorizing two
employees and two representatives of the
public to be members of the board of di-
rectors of each railroad company.

Manager Cook. Of Elects,
Claims Game by Forfeit;
Issues Broad Challenge

Manager Emory Cook. of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Elects claims n victory
over the Harrisburg Telegraph team
by forfeit, score to 0. No one dis
putes this claim. He also challenges
the Telegraph team to play game for
$50 a side. If he really means what
he says and will put up the cash, Man
ager Cook will be accommodated. Here
is the other side to the story given pub
licity to-day by the Elects manager ;
told by the Telegraph management.
The Harrisburg Telegraph team is
scheduled to play a game at Carlisle
to-day with the Base Hospital team.
1t is part of a program for the enter
tainment of the wounded soldiers at
Carlisle. Manager Cook said his team
was scheduled to play at Liverpool to-
day, but according to an announcement
Danville plays Liverpool.
In order that both teams could get
chance to warm up for the games to-
day, the Telegraph management ar
ranged for a practice game last even
ing on the Island with the Elects. Both
managers were short of players for
to-day's games and it was the intention
to try out n number of substitutes.
Manager Cook after some difficulty Sc
cured enough players for the practice
game. The Telegraph players failed
to show up and like true sportsmen
agreed to the defeat by forfeit, and
will await an official statement from
Manager Cook regarding a game for a
purse of $50 a side, which must be
submitted in writing.

SHOOTER
LEADS Big TEAM
Will Be in Special Event With
Winchester Crack Shots
Next Week

J. NOVEL; Hawkins, CT this city,
who is in charge of the Winchester
shooting team which gives an exhi-
hibition in this city September II at
Second and Division streets, is one
of the pioneers of the sport of shoot
ing. He didn't put the trap in trap
shooting nor the shoot in the shoot
ing, but he ne1ped TO make trapsnoot-
ing what 1t is to-day-one of the
leading sports of American life.
For more than 20 years NOVEL;
Hawkins has been familiar figure in
the trapshooting tournaments Of the
United States, and he is rated as one
of the most popular trapshots in the
game. That is saying whole lot for
great number of the professional
shooters are very popular individuals.
For more than 20 years Hawkins has
devoted his energies to putting trap
shooting over, 13 years ago he took
out the Winchester team that shot In
43 cities in 43 days and gave trap
shooting its first real boost.
On the team that made that memoir
able tour three aVe on the team that
is now touring eight states. Besides
Hawkins the ones who made the trip
10 years ago and are on this team are
John r. Taylor, of Newark. Ohio, and
Mrs. Ad. Topperwein, of San Antonio,
Texas. The other members OF the
team are Fred G. Bills. of Chicago. ILL.,,
| Charles G. Spencer, of st. Louis. Mo.
Leads Professionals
In 1908, Hawkins led the profess
sional trapshooters of the country in
the averages with 1868 per cent. The
averages were not maintained again
until 1912 when Hawkins bobbed up
with .9505. In the following years he
averaged 1921, .9555, 1856, 1922. 1850,
and 1916. Hawkins is one of the
shooters that never picks his shoots,
nor days, shooting under all sorts of
conditions and never makes an alibi.
He has averaged better than 95 for 20
/ years, and in that time has shot at
| upwards of 900 clay targets.
Hawkins is only one of the high
class shots that will exhibit here. The
! Winchester team will shoot at singles
and doubles targets thrown from the
stationary trap and will then illus
trate to the public the advantages of
the 41O gauge gun. With this little
gun each member of the team will
shoot 25 targets. some thrown from
the stationary trap, some from a
large hand trap and some from a
| small trap.
Following the clay target exhibl-
tton. the Topperweins will give their
exhibition with rifles and other weap-
ons used in the war. Mr.. Topperwein
is the greatest of all rifle shots and
Mrs. Topperwein is one of the best all
round shots in the world. What this
pair cannot do with firearms IL be-
yond our Imagination. They can do
everything that any one else can do
| and just a little better.
The idea of the exhibition is to get
people to the gun club. to try and
interest them in shooting by showing
them how it is done, and therefore
every one is invited to attend and be
the guests of the local gun clubs. The
shooting will begin at l o'clock.

A Philadelphia View
Of Dauphin's Primary

An interesting sidelight on the
manner in which the Republican pri-
mary in Dauphin county is being
viewed is furnished by the Philadel-
phia North American. In review
of the situation in this county this
newspaper says:
THE difficulties under which
booze machine operates when 1t is
short on both booze and money are
being experienced by the Doehne-
McIlhenny political combination that
is trying to break the Beidleman-
Baker primary slate in Dauphin
county.
George McIlhenny continues to
cherish the idea that 1t Is possible
for him to come back politically.
With that end in view, he has formed
q federation of discomfort.

Real Work Next Week
For Tech High Squad

Light togs will be laid aside next
week by the Technical High school
football squad for heavier uniforms
and pads, and work will be on in
earnest according to the instructions
given to the athletes last evening
by Coach Paul Smith. This means
that scrimmages will be in order
from now on, except on the evenings
before the games.
Last night Marcus, a former Gen.
trail line man helped whip into shape
the Maroon advance men. Hall,
formerly of Central, and now. an
end at Bucknell, was assisting the
ends. Gil" Elmer, captain of last
seasons eleven, the best Tech ever
had, was out working with the
backfield candidates.
George Germer has been showing
up we'll in the backfield, and will
make some of the backs hustle to
keep him from a regular job. He
is much of the same type as Birdie
Hinkle of last season. "Bill" Pleam
did good work at end last night,
and his speed will help him in land
ing a regular berth. Two weeks from
to-day the first contest of the sea-
son will be waged on the Island,
when Tech will have an Alumni
eleven to oppose them, unless an
other high school attraction can be
secured.
