CARNEY Editor National Sports Syndicate The new trapshooting champion among the fair sex is Mrs. L. G. Vogel, of Detroit, Mich. There is no special event to decide the woman's trapshooting champion ship at this year's grand American trapshooting tournament, as there was in St. Louis last year, therefore the title is passed to Mrs. Vogel by reason of her score of 88 breaks from 18 yards In the grand American handicap. It was the top score made by the fair Dianas in this compe tition. Mrs. Vogel for several years has been recognized as the best of the women trapshooters, amateurs, of course, for without question Mrs. Topperwein is the ranking trapshot among the fair sex. Mrs. "Topp" is a professional. Anxious for Honors Whim Mrs. Vogel took up with i the sport of trapshooting ten years! ago irie determined to become the best of the women amateur trap shooters in the X T nlted States. When a woman makes up her mind to suc ceed she usually does what she sets out to accomplish. Mrs. Vogel re mained out of the woman's cham pionship event last yer because she : desired the other Dianas of the traps to have a little tournament of their I ovn. Shooting has always been a hobby I with the Detroit woman. She shot J at live birds as Anna Reicker, of Lancaster. Pa., and did creditable work at this style of shooting. Mrs. I Vogel Is a thorough sportswoman, a firm believer in fair play and clean i sport. She takes as good care of i herself at a trapshooting tournament as an athlete does in preparing for a foot race. She retires never later than 9 o'clock and is up and around before 7 a. m„ and enjoys a walk before breakfast. Is West)* Hogan Member Mrs. Vogel enjoys the distinction of being the only woman member of the Westy Hogans. Previous to this championship Mrs. Vogel won the indoor trapshooting champion for women in Madison Square Garden, New York, In 1912- 13-14-15 and the outdoor champion ships in Grand Central Palace, New York, in 1914 and 1915. She has broken 100 straight Innumerable times and in 1915 was a member of j the five "man" team that won the Michigan state championship. Mrs. Vogcl shot on the Detroit team against Mathewson, Crandall, Bender 1 and Davis when the quartet of base ball stars toured the country as trap shooters two years ago. Mrs. Vogel was formerly Anna Reicker, of Lan caster, and has many friends in Har risburg. BUTT HALE'S NEW RECORD Hartford, Conn., Sept. 8. Butt Hale, the brown gelding in Tommy Murphy's stable, was the sensation of the final day's meeting of the Grand Circuit at Charter Oak Park to-day, despite tho fact that he lost the special pacing race with Rus sell Boy in two heats out of three. The speedy youngster, sired by Sen ator Hale, surprised the talent by capturing the second heat from Rus sell Boy, and in doing so lowered his race record to 2.02%, half a sec ond faster than his previous best per formance. TURN DOWN PETE HERMAN New Orleans, Sept. B.—The district exemption' board has refused exemp tion to Peter Gulotta, known In the sporting world as Pete Herman, claimant to the world's bantamweight championship. His parents had ap pealed from the local board on the ground that their son was their sole support and that they were aged and infirm. The district board held that Gulotta had sufficient funds to care for his parents. Will Cable Description oi World's Series Games Chicago, Sept. 8.

WHEREIN WE ASK YOU— When you're blue, and stale, and moping And the clouds begin to gather— When you feel beyond all hoping As if beaten to a lather — When you see what Fate is after And you sense, amid the blend, That you've known your final laughter, And you haven't got a friend— When misfortune makes its levy Till you're seeing purple spots, When you find the load is heavy And that life is full of knots — When they've broken up your bidding With the burden on your back, When they seem to have you skidding On a dark and lonesome track— When, in short, Fate has you reeling With a more than halting tread, And that dopy, dizzy feeling As of flatirons on your head — You perhaps think, where the bubbles Seem to gather closer in. That I'll say, "Forget your troubles— Start a whistle or a grin"? Nothing to it. You can. grind a Bitter dirge all through the night; But I'm asking—6ould you find a Finer time to rise and light? You may let the far winds blow 'em All the dirges in your throat, But arise and say "I'll show em Who's the master of my goat"? Football players who have been taught to play low in the line should appreciate their instruction when they reach the first line trench. "Have any umpires gone to war?" queries an exchange. Where else does an umpire ever go? There is one neat detail about Colonel Bill Donovan's blessed Yanks — 3 ou don t have to no out and find a strain for them to crack under. •"OE'S FIRST SHOT.

Jackson has set no forests on fire this season, but he still stands next to Cobb with the best average over a long span. Through last season his total allotment was above .350. He is still in the.3so class over the full route. While he hasn't reached .300 this year, there is always the chance that in a big series he might make up the deficit, for, beyond any doubt, he has the wallop and the eye. ,j , Je t s Wil,ard should hire Carl Morris to enter the circus, and enter a daily bout with a trained goat. In this capacity the energetic Carl should find suitable company for a big butting jamboree. The White Sox start Ekst in a few days, but according to most authentic reports available they will have to get out a search warrant for a strain before they can crack under it. Here's another use for Carl Morris-—why not send him to the front line in 1-ranee as a Human Tractor, to butt his way through German trenches and barbed wire? \ REVISED Said Beny Ka'uff to Tyrus Cobb, "Next year, old top, I'll grab your job" Said Tyrus Cobb to Benny Kauft, 'You make me lauff, you make me laufr/ First call for "McGraw undecided who will pitch first game."

NEW RULES BAR COACHES FROM LINE TACTICS The latest revision of the foot-1 ball rules, edited by Walter Camp, 1 the Yale football mentor, has one new feature which will do away with: one of the most objectionable fea-J tures tho game has developed during the past lew seasons. This is the new rule which prohibits an incom ing substitute from communicating with his team on the field until after the first play. In many of the big gridiron games the substitute sub terfuge was carried on to unreason able extremes. It was no uncommon sight to see a substitute sent from the side lines with Information at a criti cal point of a game*. Sideline coaching has been a sub ject with which the rule makers have been grappling for the last few sea sons. First, the sidelines were clear ed of the many assistant coaches and scouts, who used to crowd both sides of the field at the important games. The freedom of head coach was also restricted, and when the new rules permitted frequent sub stitutions, these players were used as a means of conveying information from the coaches to the players on the field. Gradually the initative was taken from the players until the game was rapidly becoming a contest of automatons, which moved only at the beck and call of the coach on the side lines. Help to Players Prohibiting this objectionable fea ture will tend to throw the football on their own resources and will develop strategy which hereto fore has been dependent on sideline observation. There is but one ex ception to this rule and that is in the case of the quarterback. If the substitute replaces the quarterback, he is permitted to give the signal, but in no other way is he permitted t*o communicate with the players un til after, the first play. The new restriction which has been placed on the forward pass will increase the value of this im portant play. One of the dangerous features of the forward pass has o J | L—_ SCORKS OF YESTERDAY National League (First game). Philadelphia, 4; New York, 1 (First game).

A new rule this season provides that when a player interferes with a player at tempting to catch tho forward pass, the penalty will be the loss of tho ball to the offended side, at the spot where the foul was commlttted. Tlic Placckk'k The placekick has been more clearly defined in the new code, and the play must be made by kicking the ball from its position where rest ing on the ground. This does away with the use of artificial tees such as were used in some of the games last season. In one or two contests placekicks were made by placing a headgear on the ground and kicking the ball while it rested on the head gear. Gradually the rules makers are eliminating the objectionable features of the gridiron game. In the present edition of the rules the committee points out that the rules as they stand to-day should be al lowed to crystallise as nearly as pos sible in their present form. Holding Tactics Holding is one violation of the rules which has never been rigidly enforced. There is no feature of the game which calls for more penalties during a game than holding. In pointing out the importance of elimi nating this feature from the game the committee has incorporated in the rule book, under the interpreta tion of the code, the following: "Holding is prohibited by the rules because it does not belong in the game of football. It is an unfair play. It eliminates skill. The slowest man in tho world can make a forty yard run in every play if the rest of his teammates would hold their j opponents long enough. The game is to advance the ball by strategy, 1 skill, and speed, without holding your opponent. Perhaps a good I game could be invented the object of which would be to advance tho ball as far as possible with the as sistance 0/ holding your opponents, but it would not be football."
