the 2.23 trot in straight heats. This
was the third win foi; North Spur !

THE GIFT or THE CITIES
The Big League cities make the game—
The Bush Towns are a shine:
The Big League is the only-fish
That dangles on the line;
But TY COBB is a ROY'STOX boy—
A town you never knew;
And MATHEWSOX'S from FACTORYVILLE,
And CRAWFORD from WAHOO.
The Big League towns build up the sport;
The Bush Towns hardly count;
The Big Town is the only place
Where turnstile records mount;
But HUBBARD CITY, Texas, looks
on SPEAKER as its boy;
And COLLIN'S comes from MILLERTOX,
And EVERS lives at TROY.
It goes, of course, without debate
The Big Town is the smoke;
The Bush Town isn't worth a rap,
I'nless you like a joke;
But MINER BROWN' S from XYESVILLE. Ind.;
Where tourists seldom go;
And WALTER JOHNSOX started out
At WEISER, Idaho.
I might keep on along this line
Upon an endless path,
Through Jackson. Alexander, Doyle,
Or Wagner and Cravath;
And yet I think you make the dope
Which trickles from my pen—
The Big League cities have the Kale —
The Bush Towns have the Men.
GIANT PITCHERS
The opinion has been offered freely in polite baseball circles that while
the Giants can well hold up their end of the debate in a batting and a field
ing way, they lack world series pitching strength to stop either White Sox
or Red Sox.
The three leading Giant pitchers, via the records, are left-handers.
They are Benton, Sallee and Schupp. Back of this trio come Perritt and
Tesreau, the main right-handed strength.
This group may not be the stoutest assembled, but neither is it weak.
Four of the five are veterans. Tne other, Schupp, has now had two tine
years, and in his lirst world series game would be a hard man to beat.
The staff as a whole would hardly produce the world series effectiveness
of Ruth, Shore and Leonard as they worked the last two world series years
But it has sufficient stuff to maintain a good, defense —a staff considerably
after the mould of the White Sox array.
TRAINING—NOT VICTORY
There is going to be no great credit attached to anv college or university
having a wining football team this fall.
What is wanted is training an.d exercise, rather than victory. But a
university that has sent the majority ot" its star football players to war, if
beaten by a rival who hasn't sent nearly so many, is not likely to receive
less credit when the final summing up is made.
It is for this reason that the best scheme available would be to have all
teams made up of-new talent, with no regular from last year or other years
permitted to play, except as an assistant coach or instructor.
Then all would start from an even basis, and there could be no feeling
that one university had been victorious because most of its regulars had
remained at home.
"If a golfer with a flat swing can hit the ball better than with an up
right fwing, why shouldn't he keep to the first'.'" asks a reader. Ho should
But can he?
"Who was the greatest of Mack's three pitchers," queries G. H K
"Bender. Plank or Coombs?" Why not split it three wav s and suspend
further debate?

There is nothing like trapshooting
for keeping a hunter up to form. I
have heard some field shooters ven
ture the remark that 'the sport was
tame—uninteresting. Personally I
am inclined to differ, for It has been
my bitter experience to find a num
ber of "goose eggs" hung up on what
might otherwise have been a line
looking score sheet.
There's nothing particularly easy
about "getting" clay birds, and if
one follows the rules closely, one is
apt to find that the sport has many
contingencies that will tax his skill.
There are some good game shots
that make very poor scores at the
trap. On llie other hand, there are
a great many good trapshots who
are also good field shots, and a ma
jority of these men will tell you
that their surcss in the field is prin
cipally due to their constant practice
at trapshooting.
Trii|wliil Is Consistent
The snapshot aims and doesn't
know it the trapshot snaps his
game and knows that he has aimed.
The snapshot will kill everything
that jumps one day and miss hor
ribly the next. The trap shot will
shoot in form day in and day out.
Now, there must be a reason, as
they say in Battle Creek, and that
reason probabiy lies in the fact that
one shooter is a scientifically trained
machine, while the other just hap
pens.
The fact that a trapshooter knows
just where his target is to rise is not
positive proof that he can "cover"
and "get it in an instant." That
pigeon is apt to take unto Itself a
most mystifying angle and all pre
vious calculations may be upset. In

Forest Hills, N. Y., Aug. 25. —
Playing tennis of the most strenuous
California type, R. Lindley Murray,
of Niagara Kails, X. V., but formerly
of the Pacific coast .defeated John R.
Strachan, of San Francisco, 4-6, 6-3,
6-3, 6-1, in the semifinal round of
the National Patriotic singles tour
nament, to-day. The victory gave
him the right to meet N. W. Niles,
of Boston, in the climax of the
tournament to-morrow, weather per
mitting, on the courts of the 'West
Side Club, here.
Murray's advance was opposed to
the limit of Strachan's ability and
endurance, the loser going down to
defeat afte rone of the best exhibi
tions of tennis seen in the present
tourney. The loser forced Murray
to draw upon the last ounce of his
vaunted speed and racquet skill, and
it was at these times that the victor
showed the full extent of his power
of stroke and court-covering pace.

Whether the football season will
wind up with the annual ftiterservlce
fctruggle between the midshipmen and
West Point depends entirely upon
whether or not Secretary of War
IJuker follows Mr. Danies' lead and
allows the army cadets to take up
sports during the war.
With their team badly smashed by
recent graduations the sailors are not 1
disheartened. Steps were at once
taken to-day to secure coaches and
to arrange a new schedule, the dates
already signed up prior to the war
having been canceled some months
ago.
j tie arrangement called n handtrai
that is well worthy of consideration
There is one particular advantage
that the handtrap has over its larger
brother, the automatic, and this is
the fact that it enables a shooter
to obtain conditions in practice that
. are very similar to those prevailing
| in field shooting:.
Give Ilaiultrup a Trial
With the handtrap targets may be
thrown into the trees or sprung so
as to just clear the tall grass.
The targets glance readily from
the boughs of evergreen trees and
from hardwood trees, provided they
: do not hit a good-sized limb fairly.
Very frequently the shooter will
break a target which has glanced at
|:i considerable angle from some
limb. This kind of practice teaches
the shooter to make instant allow
ance for the change of direction of
! a bird which is weaving its way
| among the trees.
Hitting or missing in this kind of
I shooting is largely a question of
judgment of time. It is a common
• error to shoot too quickly. Hand
trap practice steadies this kind of
1 shooter, because he learns that an
j appreciable length of time is neces
sary to make certain of hitting the
object at which he shoots, and he
learns that he has just a little more
1 at his disposal than he has previ
i ously been apt to allow. The ner
s \ous shooter is thus taught to be
more careful.
On the other hand, the slow shoot,
er who never before could wing
quickly enough to cover a dodging
bird is taught to trust more to in
stinct. I have seen some great im
provement in field shooting in cover
as a result of a moderate amount of
handicap practice.
to the accompaniment of frequent
lightning flashes and rain.
The rain halted the special exhi
btion between Miss Molla Bjurstedt,
of New York, and Miss Mary Browne,
of San Francisco, after one set and
two games had been played. Miss
Bjurstedt won the set at 6-4, due to
her harder and more accurate driv
ing. The wet court and balls ap
peared to disconcert her less than
the loser, who failed to show the
speed and certainty of play so prom
inent in earlier matches.

Friends of Eddie Foster hope for
his speedy recovery. He will be
