. r $86,000 It may be seen that aside from President Wilson, two . of . the big league' manager McGraw of the Giants, and Jones of the Brownsreceive more money than any public official. In fact, the conbined salaries of,, these two baseball notables come very close to surpassing that of the writer's.

Mr. Clarence Rowland of the Chicago White Sox is a very confident young man, we should say. In spite of the fact that General Joseph Jackson is- due to depart from the Chicago ranks at an early date to do his bit in the army, Mr. Rowland professes to see another American league championship in the offing, to say nothing of' a 'subsequent triumph in the world'a series. "We will win the pennant this season,'' says Rowland, "and we will beat the New York Giants in the world's series easier than we did a year ago. For a championship team the Giants surprised me because they displayed so. many weaknesses. A pennant winner should be well Balanced and strong in every department. The Giants were rot. They could not have

Baseball on the Pacific coast, which hasone through a variety of "wars"

in the "past fifteen years, is now feel

ing the menace or a new Kina or outlawry," and the situation is such that some sort of drastic action may be required if organized baseball is to be maintained to its full purpose. " Earlier in the season the club owners had to face the drain caused by the tactics of various army and navy units which came out with open bids to players to enlist, with promises of special inducements, the purpose being to build up strong ball, clubs as part of service athletic activities. That period passed and now the various shipyards along the coast have entered into a similar movement. Every ball player who is eligible for service in the national army but wjio does not care, to shoulder a pun is angling for a job in the shipyards these days. By taking such employment he thinks he is assured

deferred draft classification, besides ; pay of an expert workman, whether j he ever had any experience in the j

! work supposed to be done or not. 1

The situation has become such that there is likely to be something doing between organized baseball and the shipyards pretty soon.

MURPHY AT THE BAT

A ball player in the . front line trenches- is worth more -to America's cause than a dozen in the shipyards. Billy Miske's manager has printed a lot of letterheads carrying the line: "Billy .Miske, Heavyweight Chamninn nf the World."

The fact that Miske has never!

fought a champion heavyweight and consequently has never whipped a champion heavyweight doesn't weak: cn the strength of the clainj in the least it doesn't, if you don't care what, you say. . ..

Accurate shooting is a finished art! To direct with accuracy a load of shot or a bullet is not only the acme of art, but frequently means the bringing of necessary meat into camp or the preservation of one's life. The improved guns, ammunition and methods of instruction materially assist you in becoming an expert marksman in a limited time. You have all seen many shooting marvels performed upon the stage. Much of this is legitimate, while many of the apparently impossible shots are faked yet are interesting to the general public. It is a smile to watch some of the tricks performed before the foot lights. One wonders how they get by with the 'camouflage." Take the candle snuffing work, where the operator ascends to the gallery, extinguishing the candle with a single bullet. Immediately in the rear of the candle

are two plates of steel about IS inches square, hinged in the center and held

apart by. light springs. When the

bullet strikes the plates swing together as a book would do "blowing out de light." How to Hit Match. . A candle placed before a concave piece of steel is extinguished by the vacuum caused by the impact of the bullet. The lighting of a match from the gallery was made possible only by the old fashioned "cracker match," now a thing of ihe past. The match placed near a V shaped sheet of steel against which the bullet is crushed Into small fragments, any one of the particles will ignite the match the

head of which is placed near the plate.

ion as "splatter or splash shooting' and is looked upon as a "fliver trick" as the head of as the head of a match could not be seen from the balcony. Mechanical shooting, as featured by dealers in magical appliances, is sold at an approximate price of $50. This for the "become an expert marksman

over night" aspirants for shooting honors. Small objects are broken at long distance by a concealed trip attached to a finger arm, which is thrown forward by the impact of the bullet against the steel plate. The finger is set to strike the object to be broken, instantly returning to its original position by a series of springs delicately adjusted. When it is, understood that the striking force of a 22 calibre bullet is 66 pounds, it is easily computed how the arm ' is in

stantly operated, too rapidly for the eyes of the audience to detect The Card Trick. The card splitting trick Is sometimes performed in the same manner. A razor blade is attached to the swinging finger and is usually used when two revovlers are introduced, being sighted by mirrors and fired simultaneously, cutting two cards at the same time. The card splitting act is frequently done on the square, operating one gun. The rosin ball, moulded from a composition of two third rosin, one third plaster paris and covered with a coat of paint (made from whiting) which gives them the puff ball effect when hit, is a stage favorite. This the object de resistance used ' by the late Buffalo Bill. Wild and. Pawnee Bill, when shooting from the backs of their Charging steeds. But the three Bills

used a 44 calibre, smooth bore, .lever action rifles (in appearance) loaded with special cartridges, containing fine shot which give a good pread or pattern at short range. Municipal authorities in any city would have tabooed the use of rifle and bullets in this work to insure the safety of their citizens: Annie Oakley's Stunt. Annie Oakley for many years traveled with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show as the real feature shot of the aggregation. She was starring an act known as the William Tell in which she shot a nice, red apple from the top of her husband's head, with a 22 rifle. !

This proved a drawing card and elicited much applause. On one occauion her rifle was properly directed but the

cartridge snapped making a contin

uous long fire, she had started to take the gun from her shoulder when the explosion took place. As a result the bullet cut a nice direct trench over the top of his head, caused by imperfect ammunition, an accident which would not happen under the present methods of loading. The "Shooting Savages" of vaudeville fame supplant the apple with a crown of one inch targets, closely enCircling the head of a la tiara. Those small disks are crushed with a bullet the slight deviation of which would mean death or disfigurement. They flirt with the undertaker because they have faith in their shooting ability. Another act performed by Miss Savage, which holds the audience in

breathless anticipation of a tragic climax. Immediately above her head is suspended a two inch disk, which is demolished by a bullet fired from a rifle across the stage, which had been sighted and trained on this objective. The second rifle is discharged by Miss Savage hitting the trigger with a bullet from a rifle fired by herself. Offers Her Service. Miss Savage Is the woman who wired her services to the United States Government as preceptress either in cantonments, ground schools or sniping Boches on the front lines in No Man's Land. She would he an expert shooting card with the boys in khaki. As a Hun snuffer at long range she would be a hummer. Stage shooting under the glare of electric lights is deceptive, strong border lights cause one to shoot low, bright footlights induce high shooting. Mental glimmer 1s a complaint stage shooting . experts are afflicted with. They shoot with both eyes open. Their pilot , eye aligns while the auxiliary eye is used for concentration and general locating. The Topperweins are the most wonderful out-in-the-open team on be circuit their work is legitimate from every angle. Success with shooting teams means continuous practice and uniimited confidence in their own ability, coupled with prefec-t tion in guns and ammunition. Marshall's Answers to Nimrods. Question: Have read your articles advocating and urging the. use of repeating shot guns for trench work or

fighting. Have recently read an article where General Pershing had given your suggestion a most successful try out. Why are they preferable to the service rifle? Chas. B. Martin, Meiu-

J phis, Tenn. .

Answer: A twelve guage repeating shot gun, which can be found in almost every home in America, chambers 12-No. 6 buck shot in each shell, magazines on repeating guns can be elongated to hold ten shells containing 120 buckshot, to be fired every 12 seconds, thus 600 bullets are fired per

i minute by every operator. He thus

! becomes a machine gun operator.

Buckshot are efficient at 100 yards, eery dangerous at 80 and deadly at 60 yards. Shotguns require very much less kill and accuracy than service rifles. Imagine if you can the "Huns" marching up in solid formation against shotgun equipment in the hands of American Wingshots. - Give the boys in Khaki' shotguns and buckshot, there will be no occasion for bayonet training, no Boche would get near enough one of the Allies trenches to toss a hand grenade, they would be made to eat their own liquid fire. At shot range they are efficient in the line of attack or defense. The Automatic or Pump guns would shoot 600 bullets per minute, the service rifle approximately 23. This advantage sent out in-the interest bf Democracy, would have a telling effect on the Hups. This is the reason for endorsing the scatter gun in trench fighting. Am very glad the idea has landed on fertile soil. Watch results.

U. S. BUILDS GUNS TO POUND PATH ACROSS RHINE

WASHINGTON D. C, May 25. A an evidence of Its supreme confidence in the outcome of the war, the war department, it oecame Known today, is preparing for the manufacture of gigantic siege guns to be used in leveling German fortifications when the enemy shall have been-driven back from the occupied portions of France and Belgium.The mammoth new plant to be constructed for the government by the United ' States Steel corporation ; on Neville Island near Pittsburgh, will be used primarily for the manufacture of these giant: guns counterparts of the mammoth Krupp guns that leveled the -fortifications of Antwerp and Liege. - -

Negotiations are practically completed for the construction of a second huge ordnance plant by the Midvale Steel company near Philadelphia. This plant also will be used for construction of great siege guns. Increase Ammunition Plants. To keep pace with the manufacture of these giant guns, the war department has taken steps to Increase one hundred fold its facilities for manufacture of big gun ammunition. Contracts have been let by the ordance i department, it was announced today, for establishment of two large plants to manufacture picric add., one of the chemicals .entering. Into the composition of heavy artillery ammunition. One plant at Little Rock, Ark., will , cost $4,000,000. A second plant at Brunswick, Ga., will cost $7,000,000. The amount of money to be expended In. the Midvale gun plant baa not been announced, but It Is planned to construct a plant approaching in size the $70,000,000 plant which the Steel corporation will construct at 'Neville island. . ' Can Be Used In Field. Plans for the quantity construction of these mammoth ciege guns have been undertaken as a preparedness measure for the day In the . future when they may be- called into play. These guns also can be used, however, -in field operations against ammunition depots back of the line and in destinetion of pill boxes and dugouts. While plans for construction of this heavy artillery are under way the war department announced ' today that progress is being made In production of machine guns and light artillery. Secretary Baker . announced that heavy Browning guns sufficient to equip the machine gun units of one army division have been manufactured. This is something over 100 guns. Half of the guns have 'been delivered to Camp Meade, Md., and the remainder will be shipped there soon. 1,600 Light Guns. Enough light Browning guns have been manufactured to supply the machine gun units of four and a half divisions, or a total of about 1,600 guns. Half of these guns have been shipped to France. The other half goes to army divisions In. this country for training purposes. - Heavy Browning " guns have also been distributed to the national guard and national army camps in quantity sufficient to meet instruction purposes.
