RECORD SEEMS HARD TO SET
Just What May Be Accomplished in
One Working Day Shown to
Be Variable Quantity.

The most difficult task of the coal
commission, says London Answers,
seems to be to discover how much coal
cutting is fair days work for a
collier. 1t appears that in good
place" man will cut four tons Of
coal In shift, yet the yearly output
OF coal per man was only 220 tons last
year.
1t is rather interesting to glance at
other forms Of work, and to see just
how much other toilers do in day.
Take plowing for instance. The man
who, with single plow, turns an acre
In a day, is well earning his money.
In completing his task he will have
walked and guided the plow about
fourteen miles.
Harvesting in the old days used to
be slow work, and the man who cut
by hand half an acre of wheat was
doing well. With the modern horse
cutter and binder one man, with the
assistance of two "shockers," has been
known to cut and bind twenty acres
of wheat in one day.
AT one time the setting of three hun
dred bricks was considered days
work for bricklayer. But at piece
work, and using a special soft mortar,
a man has been known to lay 1,400
bricks during an S-hour day and to
continue this average for days on end.
Packing fruit is no easy task. Take
oranges, for instance. These average
$50 to the box. and each fruit has to
be separately wrapped in paper. Sew
enty boxes is considered very fair
days work, but man has been known
to pack 120 boxes in 10-hour day. He
had to handle and wrap $4,000 oranges
to accomplish this task
The work our men did in France
when marching in full kit is far be-
yond that of an ordinary laborer. The
worlds marching record is held by,
detachment of the London Rifle
brigade. In April, 1914, these men-62
in number-marched from London to
Brighton, distance of SO miles, in IA
hours and % minutes. They were in
full kit, and carried rifles, a total
weight Of AZ pounds, yet not a man
fell out.

Robin Hamilton of Lebanon won
second prize, Post tractor, donated
by the Post Tractor company of Cleve-
land. This tractor was exhibited at
the state fair in Columbus and brought
much favorable comment to the Post
Tractor company. Miss Hamilton has
received a number Of flattering offers
for her new Post tractor. She sold
$50, 900 worth of War Savings Stamps
herself. and assisted her father, Harry
Hamilton, War Savings Chairman of
Warren county, to sell many more.
Guy Thomas, aged only 9 years, a
student in the Bellefontaine schools,
won third place and $1,000 worth of
War Savings Stamps, donated by the

one Of the big prizes. After he had
been told that he had been awarded
$1,000 for his work he asked to be per-
mitted to telegraph his father. He
was handed telegraph blank and this
is the message the lad sent:
Dear Father-I have won lot Of

The contest conducted by the Ohio
War Savings Committee during the
summer among school children was
very successful Twenty-Five patriotic
concerns donated 25 worthwhile
prizes, ranging from a set of dinner
dishes to u Westcott automobile.
These have all been shipped to their
respective winners.
The school children next summer
very probably will be afforded an
other opportunity to win some more
valuable prizes for selling War Saw

CAMP CURTIN TO
HAVE ATHLETICS
Football Material Gives Indi-
cation of Strong Junior
Eleven

Athletics will not be overlooked
at Camp Curtin Junior High School.
Increased interest is manifested
daily. On the first call for football
practice, fifty candidates reported.
There was much good material
among them, making the selection
of a team difficult. Competition was
close at they We'd with each other in
mastering falling on the ball, catch
ing and running down the field under
kicks.
On Wednesday evening the first
active practice was held. Gerald
Daley was appointed manager, and
set to work at once upon working
up a strong schedule. In the near
future, captain will be elected.
On Thursday evening a very inter-
esting football practice was held and
those most successful were to start
work in the first part of the scrim-
mage the next evening.
Friday evening the entire squad
was out for the scrimmage and
worked with fine athletic spirit.
Secure Central Outfit
The Central High School football
equipment has been secured. The
gymnasium lockers will be ready for
use this week. Keys to the lockers
are now being given out by one of
the janitor, Mr.. Jeffries. The ar
rival of the gymnasium apparatus is
eagerly awaited. Until 1t comes, the
time will be occupied with military
marching, free hand calisthenics,

Babe" Ruth Will Be in Line
up of Boston in Game
With Klein

= Boston Red Sox with Babe"
Ruth, ''Stuffy" McInnis, Hooper
Shang and other fanpus stars will
play here Thursday afternoon. The
Klein Chocolate Company team will
be the opponents. This game starts
at 3.45 p. m.
Manager Breckenridge of the
Klein team has a written guarantee
that the stars will be in the lineup.
In the North American yesterday
in Under the Spotlight" column,
James Y. Isaminger says:
Judging from its record against
major league teams this season, the
Klein Chocolate team should chal-
1enge the winner of the coming
series, and then we would know
which Is the real champion of the
globe"
After breaking Buck Freeman's
homerun record of twenty-five cir
cult clouts in u season, and then
being told that he had not estab-
lished a record, as Ed Williamson
had smashed out twenty-seven
homers back in the nineteenth CEN
tury, Babe Ruth on Saturday equaled
the mark made by the famous Cub
slugger, when in the ninth inning he
hit one for a circuit, giving him
twenty-seven for the season. Incl
dentally it won the game for the
Red Sox from the leading Chicago
Sox, by a to score. 1t was Ruth
Day" at Fenway Park, and the Babe
treated the fans who turned out to
honor him, by proving that he can
hit homers at any OLD time.

FOOTBALL STARTS
NEXT SATURDAY
Tech High Opens With Allen
town Eleven at Island
Park

On Saturday the Technical High
school football team will open its
season on the island with the Allen
Town High school squad for an OPP
ponent. Captain "Haps" Frank will
end eavor to give Harrisburgers as
good a record as was made last
year by the Maroon lads who laid
claim to the championship of Amer
lea.
While Tech does not expect to
have much difficulty in winning from
Allentown, no chances will be run
in losing the contest. While there is
a good nucleus for a team, evelal
new faces will be seen i'll the line
up. In the backfield will be Beck,
Lingle and Wilsbach from last sea-
son. Garrett has been rounding out
the quartet, but Coach Smith may
use another lad or two in the Of
fepsive works oil the club. George
Germer has been going we'll in the
backfield.
Good Line Men
On the line Snaps" Emanuel and
"Zip" Malick have been the leading
lights for the end positions. Both
have been laid up with injuries TO
their legs so that several other play
ers have been having a chance.
Books, an East End lad has been
showing plenty of speed and may
be one of the seasons sensations.
"Red" Poland has been making a
good showing on the line, as have
Fat" Ellinger, Hoffsommer and
Pleam. All of this new material
will get a thorough tryout in the
early games and in the island prac-
tees daily.
Johnny" Smith has been play
ing the center position, but Carrot
can also be shifted to this place,
as he played center last season. The
line will be strengthened by the use
of Captain Frank and John Arnold
at the tackles. They are veterans
of several years, and Tech never
had better players. Things look
bright for Tech, and the team that
defeats the Maroon will have to
have some flying squadron in the
backfield to outdo the Lingle Beck
Wilsbach trio that will catapult
through the line of their opponents.
Allentown had a great time last
year and won most of their contests.
Next Saturday will see the opening
of the season u. Island Park.

CLARK ISSUES
SECOND Def
Boy Who Fights Here Friday
Wants to Meet Mike
O'DoWd

Jackie Clark, the Allentown box
Milwaukee, in a ten-round bout at
the Harrisburg Boxing Association
show at the Chestnut Street Auditor
ium here next Friday, has publicly
challenged Mike O'Dowd, holder of
the middleweight championship, to a
fight for the title.
This announcement was made ear
ly to-day by Charles Ettinger, man
ager of Clark. 1t is Understood that
Clark agreed to accept any reason
able offer for such a bout, and the
manager of o'Dowd was assured that
Clrk was ready at any time for
the match. Any answer should be re-
ceived from O'Dowd or his business
Director shortly.
Second Challenge
This challenge Is the second that
has been issued to O'Dowd for Clark
That one that was sent from Camp
Hancock by Billy Armstrong, head
physical director. while Clark was
still at that cantonment as a MEM
ber OF Company B, National Guard
OF Pennsylvania, was never answer
ed. At that time Clark wanted
O'Dowd to name his terms to box Is
or 20 rounds. On this occasion the
Allentown battler announces that he
is willing to go that number of
rounds at any time the champion
says so.
Clark's four-round exhibition bout
with O'Dowd, while the two were in
Paris early last year gave Jackie the
idea that he would be able to handle
himself in good style against the
title holder, and at the present time
Clark is confident tina he could give
Y very good account of himself.
There will be three other star bouts.
