The Indianapolis Meritts will furnish the big opposition for the A. B. C.'s, with the Richmond militia club and the Cambridge club, first on the bill. The game starts at 2 o'clock.

Evolution in Fire Arms and Ammunition! Have you old-time shooters stopped in this wild rush of life to consider and note., the many improvements made in your favorite weapons, within the last two score years and ten? The old flint gun, with its slow, sputtering,, delayed, uncertain flash pan ignition, was permanently relegated to a home' across the antlers, resting above; the fire-plaCe. Then came the double barrel muzzle loading shot gun and the G. D. caps. The breech loader with bras3 shell accompaniment using the water-proof caps, next came to bless our home. This improvement innovation, by the ultra conservative shooters, was ta booed as unsafe and undesirable. They all wanted to see whether their gun was cocked and loaded, asserting that modern improvements in fire arms were objectionable. The pump gun, operated by the slide action and shooting five shells, was launched upon the hunter's horizon. Thi3 gun supplanted the sale of the old foreign made guns,

Baseball Bits

Peckinpaugh and Pip of the New York Americans covered themselves with glory yesterday. Peckinpaugh accepted 12 chances in the field without an error, making two putouts and ten stops. Pipp, at bat five times, got four hits off of Daus, the Detroit twirler. Leibold, White Sox left gardener, also made four hits out of five times up and the fifth drew a base on balls. Grooms was knocked out of the box by the Phillies allowing Enzmann to come in and win the game, his first.

Also we take the position that tortoise-shell glasses do not look well with goo-goo eyes.

The Reds are in the midst of a battins: slump that seems to have no end.

New York took a step nearer first place in the National yesterday by blanking the Chicago Cubs.

which were built for sale and not for

safety. Made Good Guns. American guns were constructed on

honor, thus maintaining trade marks

and a reputation ' which had passed down through ages. Prices were but little in advance of those asked for guns upon which many foreign manu

facturers were not disposed to place

their names, as their guns were built for sale at a low price based upon cheap construction.

' When the American pump gun appeared upon the market, at a reasonable price, equipped with interchangeable parts, machine made', yet tested

after assembling, the foreign made

gun ceased to compete. The man of moderate means had placed in his

hands a gun equal in shooting qualities to any gun made regardless of price or finish, a gun which carried with it an insurance policy, marked safety. New Rifle Pattern. The last gun offered and eccepted by the shooting fraternity is the autoloading shotgun and rifle. This gun is operated by the recoil, ejecting the empty and throwing a loaded shell from the magazine into the chamber of the barrel, recocking the gun, which is then ready for another shot. This is all made possible by the recoil or "kick" putting in operation stable mechanism, which acts as though possessed of human intelligence. This gun is ever under the direct control of the operator, who pulls and releases the trigger after each shot fired. The gun must be redirected or resighted after each and every shot in order to be effective on account of muzzle elevation or jump.

The introduction of the autoloading I

shotgun in trench fighting will unquestionably become one of the salient features in. the winning of the war. This is certainly the logical gun in defense against drives, going over the top, or a rush across No Man's Land. Loaded with buckshot and accurately handled, every man becomes a rapid fire gun, . shooting the enemy's solid formation at least 600 bullets per minute. This will spell out "Boche Needings." , .. .... Watch the Man. The introduction of the pump and autoloading guns in the hunting field was the signal for their universal adoption by the shooting fraternity of moderate means. An angle of dissension arose, . rather an unusual fact amongst the nimrods, as they are a "stand together class." The devotees of the ' double barrel guns claiming that the introduction of a gun firing five shots. would be the means of killing off an unusual amount of game. The operators of the five guns claiming theirs were the humane guns as they contained extra loads for the killing and securing of cripples, which would escape the double barrel men to suffer and die in hiding, thus becoming food for hawks and crows. The bag limit law was enacted to limit the killing of birds and it is better to kill the legal number early in the day, giving the balance a chance to rest, than to pound thfm all day in an effort to get the limit. Legislation should be directed against the man behind the gun not the gun, which is an inanimate object, and will positively kill no game unloss operated by the man behind. If the laws are not respected by the hunter, opportunity will then govern the bag, not the gun in the man's possession. The killing of game is based upon the skill of the hunter, who must accurately point the gun to score the bird. Another great evolution in the shooting world is the improvement in ammunition. The powder horn, shot pouch, caps and hornet nest wadding, with hap hazard methods of loading, are a thing of the past. Machine loaded paper shells, with accurate and exact measurements of powder and shot are the acme of ammunition perfection now in vogue. The "snap" which invariably happened when a Canadian

Honker, or an especially large sized bunch of canvasback ducks swung near, is now -an unheard of Incident. Eliminate Defects. Black powder with its objectionable recoil, heavy artillery Intonation, barrage effect, have been almost entirely supplanted for trap or field shooting by the nitro or smokeless brand of powder, which emits no smoke, has no perceptible "kick" almost impervious to water or weather conditions, entirely obviating "hang-fires," no residue remains in the gun, minimizing the necessity for gun cleaning. Smokeless powder is now in almost universal use, having been developed and Improved to the highest state of perfection. ' Waterproofing of shells has eliminated the "tight-shell" complaint frequently introduced as an alibi for a miss or lost bird. The present perfection of ammunition does not give a man a chance or semblance of an excuse for miscalculation in leads, distance, velocity, height or wind conditions. ; The best and only safe way to get by on a miss or lost bird is an open confession. Don't look at your gun or pick up the shell, turning from the score with that "It was not my fault" expression, grabbing at. the same time one of your friends to tell him about the faulty gun or ammunition. That gives your friend a chance to give you an inward "giggle." He knows your gun and am

munition were right, that you simply .

made an error of judgment. Guns and ammunition today are as near perfection as they can be made. Marshall's Answers to Nimrods. Question In one of your recent articles, you stated that the sale of shot tmn ammunition had hepn stonnpd in

England. Is there a possibility that ' such drastic measures will be taken in 1 the United States? Why is ammunition so high" at this time? F. J. Y., Logansport, Ind. i Answer The sale of shot gun ammunition has ben stopped in England based on military requirements. There is not only a possibility of the sale being stopped in the United States but almost a certainty, should the i Worlds' War continue any great length of time, with more men in the field, there will be a greater demand for mu-1

ed at the present time, increased demands would put workmen now loading shotgun . ammunition for field shooting over to Uncle Sam's requirements at once. It would certainly be an excellent idea to purchase and have on hand a limited supply. The inquiry as regards the reason for the increased prices for ammunition. It is due to increased price of raw materials in conjunction with excessive and unusual advances in the cost of labor, which is a very material factor in the manufacture of amunition. Ed Baird, a hardware dealer in Evansville, Ind., made the statement to me "that ammunition advances were so much less than the major portion of goods he had in stdck had advanced, he bought and sold ammunition with a feeling that he. was giving more for their money than in almost any other line.
