TEN HIGH MEN TO COMPETE IN TRI-STATE MEET Will Try for Field and Track Honors at Cincinnati, May 4. Ten Richmond high school athletes will compete for track and field hon ors in the annual trl-state meet at the University of Cincinnati next Saturday, according to the list of entries sent to the officials of the meet by Professor Bentley. ' . Those boys who have shown enough ability to lead their coach to believe that they might have a chance to place in the events for which they are entered, are the only ones Included in the list of entries. This does not include the entire personnel of the Richmond high school track team. Richmond athletes will take no part in several of the' events at the Cincinnati meet on account of lack of suitable material. Coach Miller said, lie recommended no one for the javelin, discus, broad jump, hop, skip and jump, 120-yard hurdles or the shot put, and unless some athletes show decidedly more ability in these events than they have shown so far this season, Richmond will not participate. There are good men, however, entered in the 100-yard dash, pole vault, 880yard run, and other dashes and hurdles of intermediate distance. The principal trouble the coach has encountered this season lies in the lack of experienced men for the track. With one or two exceptions the team is composed of untried men who have never competed before in high school meets. Captain Graffls is the only man on the team who has had any great amount of experience and Richmond high school .is expecting a great deal of him in the pole vault and 440-yard, dash. He is also a member of the relay team. Following are the entries made by Richmond high school: 100-yard dash, Emslle, Smith and Motley; pole vault, Graffis and Gardner; .880-yard run, Robinson, Balllnger and Reed; 440yard dash. Graffis and McMahan; relay, Emslle, Dollins. McMahan. Graffis, Robinson and Reed; 220-yard hurCureton; 220-yard dash, Emslie.

1TLL OOUb 000 Greetings and Salutations! This to the Knights of the Scattergun and Isaak Walton disciples. Many of you I am personally acquainted with, the rest I want to know. I have connected myself with the Palladium in their newly established Trap, Rod and Gun department and will hereafter furnish once a week an article pertaining to large game hunting, experiences of myself or friends afield, or with the rod. It is my intention to keep the thousands of "followers of these sports informed as to what is going on in the shooting and fishing line throughout the country. There will be a series of articles, based upon the experiences of the All American Team abroad, the humorous phases, facts in conjunction with the contests and in fact the inside history of the trip and its results, which have never before tain of this successful aggregation, I tain of this successful aggrgation, I believe I am in possession of all that would be of interest to the reading public. With such men to write about as Heikes, Budd, Gilbert, Crosby, Powers, Merrill, Tripp, Parmalee, Fanning, Elliott, and Banks, there will be no dearth of material to feature the greatest shooting expedition ever made into foreign countries. There will be interesting material from every shooting angle known; instructions given to the novice and hunches to the experienced, along the lines of trap and field shooting and fishing. Improving Marksmanship. Suggestions, which if followed will enable the "cracker-jack" to improve his scores and which will start the beginner along the proper channels for success, by avoiding the many trapshooting fallacies. An occasional article will be devoted to the many women who are adopting thi3 sport in many localities. I have been connected with the trapshooting fraternity for the past 40 years while my experience afield extends beyond that period. I have shot repeatedly in every state in the union, with fairly good success. My extended acquaintance with the trapshooters of this and other countries is such that I am at home with any gun club I visit. To the devotees of the rod and shot gun, I take off my hat as being the salt of the earth, congenial tnd cordial. The little flirtation they carry on with Dame Nature, when afield, inoculates them with generous impulses, which brands them the most congenial companions to be found on earth. Breaking Into the Sport. .."How did you break into the shooting game?" is a question frequently asked me. Drift back with me to a time when I was living in Keithsburg, 111., a beautiful little city located on the banks of Jhe Mississippi River, he noble red man yet paddled his canoe upon the Father of Waters, mi-: grating like birds impelled by the! seasons. En route the Indians would give exhibitions of their skill with the bow and arrow, shooting small coin from split sticks. At night, with a wierd light reflecting upon them, spectators would be regaled with the Snake, Sun, Green Corn and other dances. It was the bow and arrow exhibitions by the Indians that aroused in me he desire to shoot. My first attempt was with the weapon of the redskins. This taught me to shoot with both eyes open, as do all trap experts like Heikes, Crosby and Gilbert. The next step was a single barrel muzzle loader, which was only, a gun In name, yet with careful and continuous crawling I occasionally landed a duck. On my 12th birthday my parents presented me with a Joe Manton, double barrel, muzzle loader, hammer gun. The ram rod had a screw on the end. The locks had ducks engraved on the sides. This placed me. on the pinnacle with the other boys. It then became necessary for me to win the friendship of an older person who, could and would teach me the fundamental principles of wing shooting. Louey Charbonnaux was the man. I made no mistake in my choice. Louey was a typical French voyageur, spoke broken English, was well educated, honest, congrew to love him. Louey discovered in me (as he in later years confided) latent shooting ability, which he determined to develop. His first lessdn AMERICAN LEAGUE. At Philadelphia R.H.E.

and was accuracy, care and safety. "Take no chances" was his motto and slogan. Afield, the stars were his signal lamps, the touch of a tree give him direction, the darkest night was an open bok to him. Louey was jny ideal, he taught me to shoot, hunt and fish. Explained the secrets of the forest and introducted me to Dame Nature. He was the moving spirit that put me In the shooting world. My First Victory. My first special trap success was the winning of the Mercer county, 111., championship in 1876. I still have that trophy and prize It highly. I have never won a cup since that looked as large to me although the height was only about 4 inches. After that date I was in many tournaments, shooting tame and wild pigeons, glass bl)3, Ligowski clay pigeons, Peoria Black birds, etc. In 1891, as a member of the Northern team I toured the South, visiting the principal cities, and returned undefeated. E. S. Rice, of Chicago, in 1897 organized a team of twelve western shooters and entered them In the Grand American Handicap (the premier shooting event of the world) which was held in New York. No western team had ever won this annual contest. His team were Dr. Carve, Grimm, Williamson, Dunnell, Merrill, Powers, Vorhis, Bingham, Budd, Gilbert, Stannard and myself. Jl required three days to finish the shoot From start to finish the western contingent were in evidence. At the conclusion, I had won the premier event and was the only contestant to turn in a perfect score. The following year (1898) the event was captured by Mr. Ed Fulford of New York who won the honors of the east. Mr. E. S. Rice in 1899 organized a second party with 65 shooters in line to again attempt the capture of the Grand American Championship. Winning the Championship. I was also a member of this party. This was another 3 day affair, with 263 contestants facing the traps. Eight men tied for first place, of which I was one. The tie was shot off on a miss-and-out race. The honors again fell to my share on the 53rd bird. I had captured the premier trapshooting event of the world for the second time. No other shooter has ever duplicated this performance. In 1901, The All American Team were sent abroad by the American people to compete in the International shoots. It was my honor to be elected Captain of the team. We met all comers and returned to America with an uninterrupted succession of victories. Of this trip I will write more later. Since my return with the All Amer ican Team I have been and am at the present writing, actively engaged in the trapshooting game. Attending all of the Interstate and many of the State Tournaments. Am personally acquaint ed with the major portion of the trapshooters, who have been connected with this sport for any length of time, many of them I have not met in recent years. I now desire to extend the glad hand of good fellowship through the columns of this paper to all of my old and prospective friends. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question Is trap-shooting being attempted on the battleships? Is it possible fof a man to shoot with any accuracy aboard ship? JAMES BURMINISTER. Answer Yes, there is a great deal of interest manifested in the navy in the sport of trapshooting. Many ships have formed teams and some hotly contested races have been pulled off. Officers arc encouraging the men to adopt this sport, as it engenders accuracy. It is possible for a man to shoot accurately from the deck of a boat When the All-American team was abroad we shot a race in midocean at theh request of the captain of our boat, for the entertainment of the passengers. It was a little confusing for the first five or six shots, but the team soon caught on and calculated the swing of the vessel so closely that excellent scores were made. Almost every United States steamer carries a hand trap. There recently was a race in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, under the auspices of the Red Cross Gun Club of the United States steamPut Your Old Jewelry to Work for a Good Cause.

Jtir J -A. The dopesters are practically unanimous in handing second place in the American league race to the Red Sox. Those who disagree go further and hand them the championship. Hughey Jennings of the Tigers is one of the latter gentry. Jennings picks them on the strength of their pitching staff, holding the curving corps is stronger than ever through the addition of Joe Bush. But we aren't quite sure that Ed Barrow's crew is coming home in front, nor yet in second place. No team ever won a pennant with an uncertain infield. And if the Red Sox infield isn't more or less uncertain I ask you, what is? Hoblitzel, though aging, Is still an acceptable first baseman, and Scott, while he isn't a Barry by any means, will do at short. Mclnnis, of course, is a wonderful ball player; he proved this while playing first base for the Athletics. But will he be the same shining scintillant at third a position ta m q ti v roETiprta different from I 1 1 1 H U lO 111 - - I his old one? Barrow had pinned his hopes in Johnny iiivers siaruus second, but Johnny has evidenced his annual case of temperament and is no longer with the club. The veteran Heinle Wagner is back in the fold, but a youngster, Dave Shean, who me from the Reds in a trade, is cavorting around the keystone cushion. HnWitToi stimtv Rpott and Mclnnis form a better sounding combination than a playing outfit, for Mclnnis, whose presence would add strength to any battle aray, has yet to prove that he is a third baseman, and Scott and Shean have yet to prove they can work together as a fast moving, double play team at second and short. This is the one big reason we are inclined to rate the Bostoaese as an uncertain proposition. Jack Graney of the Indians is the best sunfielder in the American league. "I don't see what the kaiser wants with a place in the sun," says Graney. "It's a tough job." The Southern league is still a haven for the old boys. Kid Elberfield who probably wouldn't be drafted if the age limit were raised to sixty-nine, is with Little Rock, and Tommy Leach, who is equally as adolescent, is with Chattanooga. Theodore Breitenstein, the famous old left-hander, went into the Southern league and pitched ten years of winning ball after his arm had gone absolutely "dead" in the north. Otis Stockdale experienced a similar rejuvenation. For years he was the star pitcher of the Memphis club. Here's something you fans should know about Jack Hendricks, who is attempting to guide the Cardinals into a place in the sun this season. Hendricks is a graduate of Northwestern University, and practiced law three years in Chicago before taking up baseball as a profession. He was a ship Solace. F. P. Williams, paymaster, won the trophy with 103 out of 125. F. R. Holt of the United States steamship Louisiana, was second with 97. Thirty-two officers and men participated.

KEEKE member of the Giants in 1902 and was among the bunch of misfits that John McGraw released when he took hold of the club. Hendricks, who was an outfielder, later caught on with Wash' ington, but was cast adrift in 1904. The first club he managed was the Springfield club in the Central league in 1905. Since 1906 none of his teams ever finished out of the first division, and in twelve years only one fell as low as fourth. Some record? You said it. He won one pennant with Spring field, three with Denver In the West ern league and one in the American Association with the 1917 Indianapolis club. Hendricks is a smiling, good-natured creature, something like Bill Donovan and has the happy faculty of making friends wherever he goes.. He is not a driver. "A word of encouragement is better than a book of knocks," is the Hendricks motto. He is a fine judge of ball talent and in the West ern and American Association much of his success was due to his ability to blend teams with cast-offs from big league outfits and promising young sters and the combination usually worked beautifully and played tidy ball. Hendricks should make good in the majors. He has the ability and personality and it won't take him long to absorb the necessary experience. Transfer 30 Bass from Their "Winter Quarters Thirty large bass were taken from the winter pond Thursday afternoon by members of the Wayne County Fish and Game Protective associa tion, and transferred to a breeding pond nearby. The purpose of the association is to breed and raise good game fish for the waters of various small lakes and rivers in the county, and to protect the fish in order that the fishing sport may not die. Two ponds are kept by the association where the fish are wintered and bred. The annual meeting of the association will be held Tuesday night, May 7, in the circuit court room. There will be no banquet this year.

By McManus NO! SNATCHED FROM THE GRAVE AS SHE WAS READY TO DIE Nine years ago friends and relatives of Mrs. Kit Albaugh, of KendalTille,. Ind., daily watched her health fall until she was Just skin and bones. She weighed only ninety-eight pounds. She was prepared to die, and expected each breath to be her last one. Her heart was so bad that she couldn't go up or down stairs without sitting down several times. Horrible dreams unnerved her. Her heart jumped and fluttered. She could get no rest and grew weaker and weaker. After she had given up to die she heard of Hull's Superlative. Here is what she says: "I could notice a different action In my heart after I had taken Hull's Superlative only three days. I soon began to sleep better and eat better. I grew stronger, and for the past five years I am feeling like a new person. I have gained fifty pounds and can do more work now than I ever could before In my life. I only wish I could tell every sufferer about this wonderful medicine so they could get well like I did." The A. J. Hull Medicine Company, of Findlay, O., has thousands of testimonials just as wonderful as that of Mrs. Albaugh, and what Hull's Superlative has done for her and suffering humanity in general it certainly should do for you. It has a wonderful record of cures for the past twenty years. It is made of roots, barks and one berry. It is nature's great helper. Hull's Superlative is sold by all druggists on a positive money-back guarantee, and any man or woman who i3 sick or ailing no matter what the condition or how serious should lose no time in taking this preparation, for if it does not help you your money will be returned.
