HUNTERS ARE IN WOODS TODAY AFTER BIRDS AND SQUIRRELS-FOOTBALL BATTLES TOMLIN HAS SHOOT RECORD Wins DuPont Prize in Bril liant Exhibition; Other Big Scores Baltimore, Md., Oct. 20.—Fred Totn lin, the Atlantic City marksman, gave one of the most remarkable exhibi tions of trapshooting yesterday when he captured the du Pont IS-yard championship trophy with a score of 94 out of a possible 100 targets. The event, which featured the first day's shooting in the annual autumn east ern tournament, attracted a select field, thirty-two of the leading scat ter-gun artists facing the traps. Nine of this number were professionals and ineligible in the titular race, but Tomlin's mark topped all of the sala ried men's scores. The race was shot under anything but favorable conditions, A strong wind blew across the traps through out the afternoon, causing the little blue-rock targets to float away at puzzling angles and making it ex tremely difficult for the marksman to register hits. Then, too, later In the afternoon the last events were con tested in a downpour. lteKUlnr Shooter Tomlin's score would have won him a high place in any tournament held under perfect conditions. The du Pont championship was sltot from the 18- yard rise, with the targets thrown a full sixty yards. Tomlin shattered three in the first event and came back strong in the following one, dropping into the grass only one of the twenty-five targets thrown for him. His third event netted him twenty-three again, while he dropped another in the final event, bringing his total up to 94. Malcolm W. Mitchell, of Aberdeen, was the second man in the du Pont race, with a mark of 91. W. Wol stencroft, the Philadelphia crack, had a mark of 83 and landed third place. Two gunners were tied fofr fourth place—Fred Plum, of Atlantic City, and Otis Johnson, of Forest Hill. Each shattered eighty-two out of the 100 targets thrown for liim. Winiiern lit I)ouble The eastern doubles championship also went to an eastern out-of-town marksman, W. Wolstencroft, of Phil adelphia, having a -mark of 45 out of a possible 50. The competition was two events of fifteen and ten pairs each. W. Piatt, of Bridgeport, N. J.. landed second honors, with a 44. Lester German was the real leader in the eastern doubles championship, but, being one of the salaried men, he was ineligible lor the title. Three big events are down for de cision to-morrow. The first race will be the eastern two-man amateur championship, and a large field is expected to face the traps. Th event will be shot in four events of twen ty-five targets each, 100 targets to the man, from the 16-yard rise.

It is the first day of the season for small game, pheas ants, quail, squirrels and wood-; cock. j Many local sportsmen left early for the woods and mountains. Evening trains carried at least 100 j to various points yesterday. The Cumberland Valley hunters went out j before daylight this morning. Farm- \ ers on their way to market this I morning reported many camped I along the hills and mountains v,'ait-| ing for daylight. War was declared upon the shy] pheasants, the coy quail, the noisy woodcock and the busy little squir- j rels, which are at this time working j overtime to store away nuts for the i coming winter. The nuts are scarce, and for that i reason the tiny fellows arc running; to and fro through the woods, little thinking that the high cost of living will make hunters especially anxious to shoot them £or the good-tasting, meat they offer as food.

Rube, who kept himself before the baseball fans the past sea son pitching for Brooklyn, has been rehearsing the songs to be used in the turn. Those who heard Reuben say he is there as a vocalist. Dooley is one of the Dooley family and has appeared often in vaudeville. WAR "SISTER ACTS" "Sister acts" in vaudeville will be in vogue this season, in larger quanti ties than heretofore, and the war will be blamed for it, after awhile, when some of the sister teams are seen. There is always a surplus of young women who believe they are a capable part of a mixed two-act but can't find the other part, ho having frequently gone to War of late. The continuous stream of engagements with Uncle Sam by the luveniles of the varieties has depleted the male "partner" market, until now the girls can only find a "sister" when looking to "frame up an act." The condition has reached a point where the girls are almost lighting with one another over each other, to complete "sister acts" of remarkable value. EDWARDS' UIU REVUE Th? new Gus Edwards revue, to be headed by Olga Cook and carry around thirty-five people, will be ready for vaudeville the end of this month. It is penciled to "break in" at Yonkers, N. Y.

FROM ANCIENT FILES Deuce take your song with a tragedy in it; Plague take your rhythm that's recking with rue; Give us an air with a regular jig in it, Something to titillate when, we are blue; Lily us a lyric of fun and frivolity. Rhyme us a cnieker at Care and her crew, Troll us a carol of Jubilant Jollity; Wanted —the Poet of Joy—is it you? B. L. T. Nir. There are plenty and more than enough of 'em Joyriding Pegagus now as it is; Papers are cloyed with the foam and the fluff of 'em Us for a bard who says things are pazzizz; Nix on the stuff that is so sacchariferous, Solder it—can it—and tighten the lid! So we declare —unafraid un.d vociferous. Wanted —the Poet of Knqck—'till forbid. F. P. A. Poetry reeking with joyous hilarity, Rhythm of tragedy, full as a souse; Lyric of Prose with its tuneless barbarity, Down with the bunch of 'em —raus mit 'em, raus; Each in its turn through a hungary and blunderous Journey we've tried in a lifetime of ills; Now, pocket empty, our echo is thunderous. Wanted —the Brand that will pay off the bills. A number of earnest fars have attempted, through Zim'B double miscue in the last world series game, to relieve Heinie of credit for his season's play. But this doesn't work. No slump in a six-game series should be permitted to over balance a 150-game showing. Zim had the best year of ha life up to the series. Muny ranked him as the star third baseman of j (he year. None placed him lower than third. A bad showing in a big series leaves a deeper impression but it's the average over the long road j that counts. LEAGUE STRENGTH A world series victory doesn't necessarily mean league superiority on I behalf of the winner. | But in the case of the American against the National the records show the latter has won but one championship since 1909—one victory out of eight starts. i This, at least, is a depressing recount for the older circuit. The facts ] are that while no one can prove which league is superior, there is no denying the fact that the American has the greater number of stars. What men, for example, has the National to put against Cobb, Speaker, Collins and Sisler? Cobb and Speaker are the two most valuable outfielders of all time. ; Collins is the most valuable second baseman ever known. There are no j men in the National to stand comparison with this quartet. "Could any one imagine," inquires a bystander, "a greater backfleld than ] Thorpe, Coy and Heston?" Not unless some one has an Imagination be ;yond the elastic limits of fiction.

Freshmen, contests on the gridiron this season will take on added Im -1 portance and interest. The Harvard-Princeton, affair set for Princeton on November 10 already gives promise of more than drifting note. Jack Munroe never won a championship. But those who fought with him in the Princess Pats are willing to take an oath that he stands as the I greatest fighter of them all, from John Lawrence Sullivan on beyond Jess I Willard. Jack fought in a game where gloves were of little use—and | where a fight to a finish meant to finish without another start, j "What was McGraw's comment on the series?" asks a reader. As we | get it, his statement was as follows: "I thought we'd used up all the ways i there were before. But I've seen a new way to lose a series, anyhow."

I I The film is replete with scenes of thrilling Interest, which are fittingly | supplemented by a series depicting the life, training and tactical exer cises of midshipmen at the U. S. Naval Academy, at Annapolis. These and many other subjects are freely interspersed by new delights and hilarious fun contributed by a host of silhouette cut-ups created by Howe's cartoonists exclusively for this exhibition.

In the sensational BRITTON LOSES BATTLE TO CHAMPION BENN JACK IS N .BENNY i-EONARj} j New York, Oct. 20.—Benny Leon ard, world's lightweight champion, handed Jack Brittan a trimming here last night in a ten-round bout. After the first round it was evident that Britton would have to do some tall thinking to last the limit, but through his good generalship, Jack managed to weather the storm of puncher, though he was all but out in the final round after standing toe to toe with Leonard for a half minuto exchang ing wallops. Leonard did not seem to be labor ing under any great handicap with the advantage that Britton had in weight, for it was announced prior to the boys entering the ring that Britton tipped the beam as per agree ment, at 139 pounds while Leonard scaled at 133 pounds. The champion used all kinds of punches to try and stop Britton, but the latter was careful at all times and nearly always clinched when the going was too tough. On divers occa sions in the early part of the bout it looked as if Britton was doomed to take the count. He stood solid rights and lefts to the Jaw, uppercuts which came from the shoulder and carried lots of beef behind them, but as he was in splendid condition Leonard seemed unable to slow up Britton to any great extent Eight by Rounds First Round—Britton looked ner vous as he came up. Leonard, with a confident air tore after Britton, hook ing three lefts to the face. Jack miss ed two left swings and Benny soaked his jaw with a right and brought two lefts hard to the neck. Britton missed a left and Benny planted a solid left to the wind. Britton claim ed it was low, but the referee told him to box. They mixed it In the center with Jack coming out of a clinch with a cut mouth. The bell found them sparing. Second Round —Leonard opened with two solid lefts to the jaw and hooked a right to the head. He chas ed Britton around the ring, hooking another left several times to the jaw. Jack startled Leonard when he planU ed a nice left to the body, but Benny made him see stars from half a dozen smashes to the head and body. Third Round —Leonard sent two lefts to the ear and followed with an other to the same spot, which made Britton clinch and hold on. After the break Britton held his left out, but Benny worked him against the ropes spirit of the scenes, the fantastic! story .of pirates and buried treasure. Herbert Ashton is responsible for the production. He staged the piece elaborately in four acts and six scenes, with an appreciation of the romantic requirements of the stoiy. There is the good ship Hispaniola adrift at sea, dawn at Treasure Is land, and the stockade in the woods, are among the novel scenes. The company, headed by Herbert Ashton and Kuth Dettin, is an Impressive one of twenty-four members. A musical revue that no doubt will attract more than passing interest will be the Norworth "Odds and and Shannon offering, Knds of 1017" "Odds and Ends of 1917," Which will be presented at the Orpheum, MondaJ evening, October 29. after which it will play two other cities and then go in as as the opentng attraction to the Norworth Theater, now nearing completion in West Forty-eighth street, New York City. •The presenting company will be one of unusual distinction, comprising Harry Watson, Jr.. well known for many years as a comedian with the "Zelgfeld Follies;"' Miss Lillian ralne, who has been .the featured member of many a notable Broad way production; Jack Norworth, whose unique and original comedy "methods have gained him an enviable reputation on two continents; Miss Norma Phillips, Miss Laura Hamil ton, Joseph Herbert, Jr., Marjorle I'olr, Joseph Maddern, Übert Carlton.

Britton walked around for a few second, but Leon ard swung a right to the jaw at the bell. Fourth Round—Britton tried a left hook, but Leonard beat him to the punch, hookng a nice right to the jaw which made Jack clinch, Britton sent a left rather low to the body and was warned by the referee. Leonard cuffed him from ropo to rope with fast blows, but Jack evi dently was bent on staying the limit and covered up. Fifth Round—Britton missed a hook and Benny hooked three lefts to the face and brought another left hard against the wind. Britton start ed to talk to Benny, but the latter paid no attention to him and slam med him In the wind with a few hard lefts and crossed a right to the jaw. Jack at the bell got over a sting ing left to the wind Sixth Roun#—Leonard tore after Britton, trying to score a knockout, but Britton half turned his body to Benny and the blows landed on the back of the neck. Jack sent a left law again to the body and was again warned. Benny near the end of the round shot two hard bolws to the jaw. i Seventh Round—Benny hooked a left twice to the face and planted a right to the Jaw, but Britton was go ing away and the blows lost the > force. Britton complained that Ref eree McPartland was favoring Leon ard, but when Benny stung him with two short lefts he got nettled and started to mix, but Leonard doubled him up with a solid left to the wind. Eighth Round —Britton hooked a left to the jaw, but Leonard swung two lefts to the jaw and brought it down to the body. Britton clinched. Leonard stung Jack with three more lefts to the head, but Britton hooked two lefts to the face. Ninth Round —Benny sent two short rights to the head and upper cut left to the mouth. He cuffed Britton around the ring, but Jack was too cautious and clinched every time that Benny's blows hurt him. Tenth Round —Britton opened with a rush and swapped blow for blow with the lightweight champion. After a / few exchanges, Leonard sent a hard right to Britton's head, sending him reeling against the ropes. It looked bad for Britton, but he clinch ed and managed to last out the round.
