New York, June 1.—The market ex- perienced a nervous chill in the early stages of today’s session because-of- the: circulation of alarming rumors grow- ing out of the temporary closing of the port of New York and the sinking of American sailing vessels. Stocks open- ed with an irregular tone, many issues declining two to five points on exten- sive selling. T. S Steel was a striking illustration of the market's sensitive state at that juncture, falling to 126 3-4 from its previous high of 131 1-8. On the re- bound of the late hour, when virtual- Iy all losses were restored, Steel rose to 131 3-5 and closed at 130 1-2. a net gain of 5-8 point, allowing for its ex- dividend of 4 1-2 point: Numerous other industrials, especial- Iy equipments and munitions, register- £d equal recessions and advances, final quotations showing a vast majority of gains. A few stocks were conspicuous for their consistent strength and support. American Smelting made an extreme advance of 5 5-8 points to 111, Ameri- can Sugar added 4 1-2 to its substan- tial rise of recent days, and Industrial Alcohol azain featured the high pric- ed specialties at a gross galn of 4 3-8 points, nearly all of which was sur- rendered on profit-taking. Dealings were most active during the sharp reversal of the morning, trading thereafter denoting caution. but quickening again in the last half our.

By H. H. STEVENS For National Sports Syndicate. Mr. Stevens is now and was last year the manager of| the trapshooting School in Atlantic City, J. He is a student of trapshooting and con- sidered one of the most efficient in- structors in the United States. There- {fore his views on this subject are worth while. Just as long as the earth revolves there will be people insisting that ex- pert marksmen are born—not made. My experience as manager of the Trapshooting School on the Million Dollar Pier, Atlantic City, J., cause me to take the opposite view—that marksmen are made—not born 1 had a great opportunity to study people last year at the trapshooting school and I got a lot of quiet amuse- ment out of watching people who had never fired a gun, take to the sport like a duck to water. There was more fun still in cogching__ experienced shooters out of the “50-350" class. Of course in the case of a raw be- ginner there may be need for but very little instruction or he may require a great deal; but at the worst it is sim- ple, because he has formed no habits. Having by a few simple tests deter- mined the eyesight presents no diffi- culty, and selected a gun with a stock of a shape to fit reasonably well, then a little instruction in handling the &un usually starts him breaking tar- gets. The rest is a matter of refine- ment in gun fitting, coaching and practice. Some Learn Faster Than Others. Naturally, some beginners make progress fasser than others. But it is not that one is endowed by nature with better shooting ability than the other, but that he simply learns quicker and better. - The most common of all faults and mile adjustment guarantee? 7000, 9000, 11,000 and more does that. Nearly every car owner back for three more. Quaker Tires. Will you fet us Get More Mileage If one railroad sold mileage books good for 5000 miles, and another road gave but 3500 miles for about the same price, which road would you patronize? Then, why be satisfied with tires adjusted on a 3500- mile basis whe’x; you can get Quakers backed with a 5000- Records show that Quaker Tires give careful drivers You need to know the things we can tell you about W.

I which most handicaps almost every beginner and every dub shooter, is a bad shosting position. This can be corrected, in most cases very easil Ly _coaching. Possession of a gun which dees not fit the shooter cannot be correctly call- ed a fault; rather it is a misfortune. The bezinner in wing-shooting knows nothing about selecting a gun to fit him. And I usually find that the man who comes along and confesses to me that he had some experience but is a poor shot has been handicapping him- self with a misfit gun. Generally he doesn’t even know the dimensions of his gunstock. The Correct Position. Reverting to the subject of posi- tion, the bezinner and very often the dub’ shooter when taking up a gun for the first time at the school, wouid assume a_decidedly -st#ained position, holding the zun awkwardly and bal- ancing at the waist with hips thru: forward and shoulders back. at- showed an apparently unbreakable de- sire to raise the cheek from the stock when the .target appeared flight, and of courge continued to m until ‘they learned better Other grave faults weve to hold too long on the target before firing, and. flinching. Without coach- ing they would not easily outgrow them, but with it rapid progress was alw made. Makes Study of Beginners. 1 have found it interesting and use- ful to study the beginners from the human nature standpoint. inclination For instance. supposing a new man comes alons, it may be a good thinz to just let him find his way around, so to ‘speak, and not give him too much attention. He gets a gun, and you see at once if he is familiar with it. If not, you will see him watching the other sBoot e This he will do either frankly and with manifest interest or out of the corner of his eye. the former 1f vou know you can go right ahead and tell him, and he will leagn quickiy: if the latter you must take vour tim only suggest thinks, ask diplomati questions and Jet him have th~ pleas- ure of finding it all out for wimself. By using a trygun, the construction and use of which has been described in previous articles, we take the exact fit of each shooter, thus ensurinz a proper gun is provided for use during instruction and also enabling him or her to obtain from any gunmaker pr cisely the fit in a gun-stock that is necessary to have to shoot well. But among all of the many begin- ners I haven't found a single horn crack shot—nor one who could not learn. it STAR ATHLETES TO DO THEIR BIT FOR U. S. Amateurs Responding to Enli More Ready Than Prof The retords of enlistment for war service up to the present indicate that the amateurs are responding more readily to Uncle Sam’s call for fight- ing men than are the professional athletes. Among those already enlist- cd are many stars in football, tennis, polo, swimming and rowing, and also many famous performers on the track and in the field. After the close of the college season the number will probably receive a large increase. A number of Harvard athletss. both of the present and past, have joined the colors. The sensational work of Charlie Brickley, Sam Felton, Ken Parsons and Trafford Hicks on the sridiron a few years ago is still fresh in the memory of all followers of the Crimson athletics. ~All four of the old gridiron warriors are members of Harvard’s army unit. J. Howard Berry, the Pentathlon winner and Pennsylvania’s most fa- mous athlete, has joined the army aviation corps. Clarence J. Griffin, who with Wil- liam Johnston holds the national douy bles tennis championship, Is among those who have entered the training camp at Plattsburg. Another champlon, Ted Meredith, urally, they had to be taught to stand | firmly’ on both reet, lean siightly for- ward and swinz freely from the hips o another thing, sometimes they naval reserve. His brother, Howard Cann, captain of the New York uni- versity football and haseball teams; Paul Mooney, who played center on the same gridiron team. and Garland Reese, New York Athletic club pole- vaulter, have also joined the naval re- serve. Andy Ward, the national champlon amateur sprinter, has been accepted for the officers’ at Fort Sheridan, The first marathoner of note to join the army is Johnny Hayes, the hero of the London Olympic games, John- ny has enlisted in the Plattsburz corps. Andy Kelly reserve camp of Holy Cross college, who holds the New England intercol- legiate records for the 100 and 220- vard runs, has eniisted in the army Devereux Milburn, one of America’s most celebrated polo players and a contestant in several of the. irterna- tional matches, has Joined a \Water- [bury cavairy organization.

It is sufficient, however. to that the amateurs, and part the col- legians, have not been lax in_respond- ing to the call for service. No better evidence is needed of the patriotism of the amateur athletic fraternity. WHY WAGNER GOT OUT OF BASEBALL Report Because His Salary W. duced to $8,000. The inside story of Hans Wagner's retirement, according to an eastern writer, Is+ that Wagner quite because he was miffed because Barney Drey- fues reduced his salary for 1917, Wag- ner's 1916 contract called for $10,000. Dreytuss wanted to cut the wages' for the season down %o $5500—nop fo $8,000, as commonly reported. Drey- fuss, so the story goes, decided upon $5.500, so that Wagner, despite the cut, would continue to be highest paid man on the team. Carey and Mam- aux each getting §5,000. Dreyfuss Intimated to Wagner late last season that he was going to cut his_saary in line with the general 1917 economy plan. And right then and there Wagner was hurt. He did not make any real complaint to Drey- fuss at the time, hut let it be under- stood that if Dreyfuss attempted to carry through his plan it would mean good bye to Wagner as a major lea- gue star. “Wagner” asserts the writer" formant, ‘wasn’t so much peeved be- cause he was being sliced $4,300 as he was over Drevfuss treatment. Wagner has been the greatest draw- ing card that the Pirates ever had— and one of the best in the National league. By his own great playing for 20 vears he drew hundreds of thous- ands of fans Into the ball parks. And as a reward Dreyfuss decided to cut him $4,500 a year. It is' understood the National lea- gue has been paying half of Wagner's Re- in- salary for a number of gears. So it cost Dreyfuss only $5.000 a vyear to retain one of the greatest ball players of all time. It is_understood that had Dreyfuss given Wagner the option of accepting the world's champion middle distance winner, has volunteered for the flying corps. " Joe Higgins, one of the best quagter-milers in the country, has vol- red with Meredith. Michael McDermott, national cham- pion breast stroke swimmer and three times winner of the Mississippi valley marathon, has joined the aviation corps of ‘the navy. 5 Ted Cann, another noted swimmer and holder of - several championship titles, has enlisted in the United State$ $5,500 a year or his unconditional re- e Norwich,ZCofn., June 1st, 1917.
