Thursday until Labor Day.

Friendship is just a small vitlage in the foothills of southern Indi-

ana, but to the followers of Daniel

pioneers, it's the greatest spot on earth. There's going to be a lot of smoke when the muzzle loaders get together for their national shoot. uo = ~ THE range at Friendship is owned by the association, which uses its membership fees and advertising revenues from its official publicatiop, Muzzle Blasts, for the improvement, of the grounds and

Boone and othen Jong rifle Shosuing ons of others. He made another gun, took up muszzie-loader shooting seriously, won the national championship four years in a row at Friendship.

West drives more than 1000 miles from Coleman, Tex. n » » THE muzzle-loading sport went into big time as a result of a chance remark made 15 vears ago by Boss Johnston, a Cincinnati radio commentator, On a rural audience program, he happened to say that he wondered how. many _ persons would be interested in taking down the old muzzle loader grandfather left in the attic and participate in a shoot. To his surprise, he found there were muszzle loading hobbyists aplenty, all eager to shoot. nu » ” ONE of the ardent fans was E M. Farris, secretary of the Railway YMCA at Portsmouth, O.,, who with friends had been holding shoots at infrequent intervals. Red Farris and Johnston organized the National’ Muzzle Loaders association, of which the latter is president. The association mow has 5000 members. Some muzzle loaders fire homemade weapons.

Match Race Off |

CHICAGO, Aug. 25 (U, P.).-— Assault, the 1946 “horse of the year,” began a forced vacation today after coming up lame in his workouts for a match race against Armed next Saturday, The match race was called off after Benjamin PF. Lindheim, president of the Washington park track here, learned that the King ranch 4-year-old would not be in condition to run. The “Clubfoot Comet” developed soreness in the hoof which has been deformed -since he was a colt. His trainer, Max Hirsch, said he would ease up on Assault for several weeks and that the colt probably! would be back racing next month. Lindheimer said he hoped that Assault and Armed could meet later in the season at some other park in the $100,000 match race on a win-ner-take-all basis.

» Bowling Notes An organization meeting of the Ladies Matinee league will be held at 2 p. m. tomorrow at the Moon-

at its Shartlesville, Pa., range. She wins turkey shoots. ® ~ » " TWO muzzle-loading rifle types the flint and percussion lock—are used. Both are loaded from the muzzle with black powder and a round lead ball inside a finelywoven cloth patch. The powder, -specially manufactured, is sold at gun shops. The

lead balls must be molded to fit

the caliber, The flintlock, by far the older of the two types, dates back to 1635, the percussion to 1807. Introduced in the United States in the 18th century by the Germans and Swiss who settled central Pennsylvania, the flintlock was the chosen weapon of frontiersmen. The percussion superseded it as the nation’s top rifle about 20 years before the Civil war, " ” ” THE flintlock is fired by a flint fixed in the cock or hammer, which, on striking the battery, or pan cover, ignites the priming powder, communicates its fire to the charge through the touch-hole. The percussion is set off by priming with fulminating powder that is exploded by concussion. In the Friendship shoot, there are events at 25 and 50 yards for offhand shooting, rest shooting at 50, 100 ) and |. 300 ya yards.
