Baldy Brandt was to have tackled Rube Bennett, and it is lucky for him that Bennett is under the weather. Jule Ritchie, of Lancaster, gave what you could not call a bat tle anc their bout went six rounds, being very tiresome; almost a farce.' Not one scientific blow was directed by either oi.e during the six rounds. They were slow as a Linglestown trolley car on a foggy day, and with legs wide apart It took a minute to start a blow. The opening bout saw Young Ful ton. of Slatington, hooked up with Dick Gotwait of York, a very en tertaining fray. Fulton is a ma gician with liis arms, using them in every possible position to send in a punch Some thought he must be aouble-jointed. Their bout was even. Johnny Herman, the Reading Dutch boy, won every fan for his bravery in fighting six vicious rounds with Young Nelson, of Philadelphia, with the handicap of a cauliflower ear. This appendage bled most of the time and Fulton kept playing for it with his long left. Nelson made a fine impression. This, per haps, was the fnost lively and skill ful setto on the program.

Dauphin-Perry League Expects to Get Into Action This Season After being inactive last year for I war reasons, the Dauphin-Perry League, which furnished an exciting brand of baseball for three Dauphin and three Perry county teams for the three years preceding last, promises to become active again this season. With the war ended, the baseball fans in the several towns vf the cir cuit are again lining up in favor of the league and are - putting strong efforts to bring abouts its reorgani zation. A meeting for the near fu ture Is being planned, one of those most active in working for the lea gue's revivication said to-day. Duncannon. the only town of the six league towns that supported a team last season. Is already making plans for this season and will put a team in the field Nvhether or not , the league is reorganized. But the I supporters of baseball in that bor ough are particularly anxious to have the league get in operation again and are among the most ac tive workers to bring about that re sult. Newport and Slillersburg are con sidered as certain to Join in the for mation of the league. General opin ion is that Marysville, too, will fall in line, although at present evety ttiing appears to be somewhat dor mant in the railroad borough. Dau phin and Halifax, the other two towns of the league, are considered as decidedly uncertain propositions. TJiose most active in endorsing to bring about the reorganization of the league feel certain that expenses n.ust be limited much more strictly than they were during previous years. Expenses then were decided ly high, far above the figure that baseball in the size of the towns represented, warranted.

"Stoney McLinn Will Have Whole Nation Shooting"—Tom Marshall The innovation era in sports has arrived! January 9, 1919, there was born Into the trapshooting work a new organisation for the encourage ment and promotion of The King of Outdoor Sports—Trapshooting. For twenty-eight consecutive years Elmer K. Sooner as sponsor-manager, later assisted by his son, K. Reed Shaner, as secretary, both of Pitts- Burg, l'a., successfully and safely pi loted the Interstate Trapshooting As sociation, through the rapids of ori ginal organization, steering clear of the rocks of initiatory' rules and rulings, without a line of precedent. The resignation of the well-known Slianers, virtually dissolved the In terstate Trapshooters Association. There was immediately brought into existence a recognized parent or ganization. The American Trap shooters Association, with headquar ters at 460 Fourth Avenue, New York City. "Stoney" Mel,inn, of New York, was elected manager and K. R. Gal vin, of Wilmington. treasurer. "Stoney" McLinn as editor of the American Shooter Magazine, requires no special introduction to the shoot ing fraternity. As sporting editor of several leading daily papers he is well and favorably known. A better selection could not have been made. Mel,inn is a man of dynamic force, | understanding ttie necessities and pe culiarities of the trapshots, with the | ability, tact and disposition to cater | to and conciliate the legions actlvo I and prospective devotees of the sport t alluring. Mr. Calvin lias made a deep study of the intricacies of the art of trapshooting and will be a [ most valuable adjfanct to the McLinn cabinet. Never was there a more op portune time for trapshooting promo tion than the present. Uncle satn has intensively trained and educated approximately 4,000,000 men to shoot and handle a gun, they are return ing to their homes by the millions, satiated and weary of camp life with its necessary restrictions. Disci pline has been their camp slogan; while the bugler has tooted out his discordant reveille, calling the dough boys and gobs to early morning ac tivities. Reception handshaking will soon be over, our returning heroes will be expected in the near future to assist in the fuel furnishing, to keep the home Urea burning, the routine of business life awaits them, which will become the daily grind. Educated to the life in the open, those are the legitimate fields to which they will turn for their diversion, sports and recreation, which all red-blooded men must have and enjoy. What could be more logical than the health-giv ing patriotic sport in which they have been trained, which our government officials and military experts en dorse unhesitatingly trapshooting. The sport alluring should immedi ately jump to the position of the major sport of America. There is but one answer and so lution for immediato results, organi zation. livery city, town, country club or cross roads is a possibility. A flying squadron of fifteen men un der the -direction of a practical shooter and organizer will cover the major portion of the available towns in a state in from 30 to 60 davs, es tablishing at least two clubs per week for every man in the organiza tion, a total of thirty clubs per week averaging twenty members repre senting 600 new converts to the trap shooting gume per week. Clubs should immediately be banded into leagues of approximately six clubs each, all clubs and leagues to con solidate with state organizations, which are directly affiliated with the American Trapshooters Association, the parent governing organizations. A campaign of this character should be started at once. It is a sport promo tion plan that is demanded and just ly due our returning soldiers, sail ors and aviators Give them the line of sport they want and are trained to enjoy. This organization plan is feasible and has been successfully planned and executed in the past. A syste matic campaign will create a state wide interest and most towns will i the Peace Time Quality of King Oscar Cigars will be remembered long after the price, which conditions compel us to charge, has been forgotten. 7c —worth it.

ANSWERS TO NIHRODS Question: When attending the Grand Ameri can Handicap last year noticed the different positions of men at the trap? Also noticed some men point ed their guns directly over the trap house, low down, while others point ed the muzzle of their guns high in the air. Which is the proper posi tion at trap and which is the correct method of holding a gun? THOMAS HENDRICKSON. Louisville, Ky. Answer: Take a position at the trap, which is easy to .'yourself, favoring the bird or angle that seems to give you the most difficulty, by turning your feet and body in that direcly to a slight degree. In my judgment the best results are obtained by holding just above the traphouse which enables one to see the target at the time of its immediate start from the trap. Keep both eyes open. locate the target as soon as possible after its start and shoot just as soon as you can pull yourself together for concentration. Question: I have a receipt for the manufac ture of powder which cost me SS.OO. Am told the formula is not safe please advise me as I would like to make powder both as a diversion and for use. Minneapolis, Minn jr. jj. jj_ Answer: You have been up against the old fake, which some people have been working for years. Y'our formula is ino doubt the old chlorate of potash and granulated sugar combination. Don't attempt the manufacture, it is unsatisfactory and dangerous. Many guns have been bursted with thla powder and many hands blown off sportsmen when shooting. Don't be persuaded to attempt its manu facture.
