SECOND HONORS
FOR LOCAL SHOTS
"Izzy" Hoffman Wins Ncw
manstown Prize; Handicap
Event Today's Feature
Newmanstown, Dec. 29. Despite
the inclement weather, 17 devotees of
wing shooting faced the traps here
yesterday in the Newmanstown Gun
Club's tenth annual midwinter live
bird handicap, which proved a suc
cess. Harry C. ("Izzy") Hoffman, of
Philadelphia? carried off the honors in
the feature event, the Lebanon Valley
Handicap, at 20 birds, with 19 kills.
Hoffman lost his ninteenth bird.
Shooting was difficult because of the
high wind, and the scores made are
creditable. The summary:
Lebanon Valley Handicap, 20 birds,
sliding handicap, 28 to 30 yards; In
terstate rules governing—Harry C.
Hoffman (29), 19; John G. Martin
(28), 18; Fred S. Dinger (29), 18; G.
E. Eilber, of Philadelphia (28), 17;
W. A. Miller (28), 17; E. M. Aileman
(28), 17; W. A. Miller (28), 17; S. P.
Segelhaum (28), 17; James E.
Schmeck (29), 16; David Paul, of
Philadelphia (29), 16; George S. Traf
ford (29), 16; O. K. Eisenhouer (28),

man (28), 15; Frank S. Rader (28),
15; Harvey B. Weik (2 8), 14; Walter
Lesneski, 9.
As the Newmanstown Gun Club had
advertised that in case of inclement
weather the great eastern handicap,
emblematic of the live bird champion
ship of the United States would be
held the next day, Manager Ludwig
announced that the shoot would be
continued to-day with the great east
ern as the feature event, when It is ex
pected that 50 exports will compete for
the championship.
Vernon Wants Cravath;
President Baker Willing
Philadelphia, Dec. 29. Negotia
tions are under way between the Phil
adelphia Ball Club and the Vernon
Club of the Pacific Coast League
which will land Gawy Cravath, lead
ing fencebuster of tho National Lea
gue, in a managerial berth out Cali
fornia way. If the deal is consummat
ed. President Baker, of tho local club,
was in town yesterday, but said that
as yet he had not heard definitely from
the Vernon president whether the
terms of the transaction were satisfac
tory.
After that is arranged, the only
thing that remains Is to get Cravath
past the "waivers-system" net that
may quite possibly keep him in the
big show. Gavvy's days of home-run
slugging aro by no means over, and
it seems hardly likely that all of the
other fifteen clubs In the leagues will
alow him to pass down to the minors
without a struggle. It will have to be
fixed up out of court if it Is put
through.
Disallow Ball Club's Claim;
Rule Against Charles Frank
Cincinnati, Dec. 29. The National
Baseball Commission yesterday allow
ed a claim made by President A. J.
Helneman, of tho New Orleans base
ball club against Charles Frank, for
merly employed as scout by the Cleve
land club and now president of the At
lanta club, for $1,629. Attorneys repre
senting Frank denied the Jurisdiction of
the commission in the case, owing to
the debt being of a personal nature.
The attorneys also claimed that Frank
admitted having contracted the debt,
but that he had compromised If for a
lesser amount, according to the com
mission's finding.
The commission ruled, however, that
!t had uniformly oxerelsed jurisdiction
In tho adjustment of financial obliga
tions between parties connected with
organi*ed baseball, If one or more were
iduntlficd with the major league. The
finding then goes to hold that the com
promise wus abrogated through tho fact
that one of Its conditions was not lived
up to by Frank.
