Sport That Is Popular Trapshooting and the national association have grown because of the decrease of game, which makes necessary the using of clay birds. , and because of the war. which makes sood marksmanship a coveted ac- 1 .oinplishment. In some of the avia tion training camps the sport has been installed to give the gunners practice at picking out aeroplanes. Experiments are being made in using shotguns in aeroplanes for the scat tering buckshot are very deadly and sure to hit something solid. A :e --turned Canadian soldier has just' stated that his soldiers often longed lor shotguns in the trenches because they are quicker than the tardy hand grenade, which requires time for exploding.

Time For Action In all this land there are still two • states. Louisiana and 'North Caro lina, which permit the hunUng of game for market. In all this lan 4 there is no state which has enough game left to feed 1 it to epicures who are too lazy to go out and get it themselves. In all this land there is no real sportsman who would allow market hunting without a protest. How about it, Xorth Carolina and Louisiana? Have you a sportsman who will rigf to the occasion— ' <Jr have you merely gunners, who dwell in darkness—who don't know irin.l who don't care? 1 There Is a new temper in these j times. American sportsmanship de mands a yes. or no—and action.

I candidates could not appear. Same' weather conditions the following day • also prevented the team from getting; i into action and it was decided to call j ) off the practice until this afternoon.] Prepare For Opening ! Although practice activities have been somewhat hampered all details I are being arranged for the opening j game on May 11. Several more new! players are expected to arrive, in! fact, they were expected several! days ago and much disappointment! ; is expressed ac their failure to get 1 in Touch with the management. Should the team be made lip of thc< players on hand at present, the club! followers are certain that they will be strong enough if not better to 1 hold their own with the best in the,' league. A new name added to the players' roster is McWilllams of Scranton. an infielder who has gained quite a reputation as a ball player. Mc-i Williams has never played any lea- J sue ball, but his work in the semi j professional aggregations in Scranton | and throughout the coal fields has I made him a player much in demand. He will mogt likely work out for | the third base position, but will have strong opposition by the players who i covered the bag last season.
