Fred Stone, the comedian, is the real “king of the shooting, bugs.” There s never a jump in the road that Fred is not ready to Ehoulder his musket and put in an afterncon shoot- ing at the little bloodless pigeon. Fred's personality is accentuated by the smell of smokeless powder: he 1s at his best on the shooting grounds, A few vears ago Stone attended the Grand American Handicap at Indian- apolis in company with Tom Marshall. One day the shooting was finished rather late, and as the shooters gather- ed at the little station, awaiting the | trolley, quite a number of darkey waliters were also there, and thought it a propitious time to pick up a lit- tle easy money by jigging and cutting a few other capers. They had been dancing but a few minutes when Stone turned to Marshall with the re- mark: “Hold my coat and T will get in that game myselt.” Fred sure was at his best as he danceq around on the outside of the colored circle. One by one the sons of Ham noted Stone and dropped out un- til there was onlv one left. who was 50 _industrious he failed to look up. One of his former co-workers final- 1y_called out to him: Say. nizger, vou had better look vp. That white man is dancing rings and circles around you.” 4 Needless to state no darkey had the courage to pass his hat. Billy Sullivan a Trapshot. Billy Sullivan is _somewhat jealous of the fame Matty, Bender et al., have been mcquiring as trap shooters. The old White Sox catcher clalms to be somre handler of the shotsun himself. Jobn Ritchie a neapolis _scribe, says Biliy is all he claims to be and then some, and then tells a story that ves both Suliivan and himself the 2ugh. The mnewspaperman and the veteran catcher were with the Minneapolis il in thelr training camp _at Hicl n two years ago. One day they got hold of Joe Cantillon’s favorite weapon. The Minneapolis manager happened to be away at the time and It lookedl like a good opportunity to try the shooting iron out. Sullivan, to show his expertness, took the gun apart before they start- ed. He got it together satisfactorily with the exception of one _small spring. Neither Sullivan nor Ritchie could locate svhere it belonged. They began to get scared, for Boss Cantil- lon_thought a lot of that gun. . There happened to be a _sporting goods store in the s wn and they took the gun thére to have the proprietor see if he could adjust the trouble. It so happened that the owner of the store had a duplicate of his “Syrely, I'll fix it up in a Jiffy, sald, much to the relief of Messers. Sullivan and Ritchie. The storekeeper took his own gun gpart to see where the spring went. Then he couldn’t get it together again. The spring wouldn’t go back. What followed is of such’a nature that we will draw the asbestos cur- tain over the scene. OBITUARY Ralph W. Cutler. Hartfor, Conn., Nov. 7.—Ralph W.

STRANGLER LEWIS DEFEATS DOC ROLLER AT HARTFORD Lewis Gets Two Falls From the Doo- tor in 1 Hour, 15 Minutes and 2 Seconds. Hartford, Conn., Nov. 7. — E4. (“Strangler”) Lewis defeated Dr. B F. Roller in Foot Guard Armory to night in two straight falls in a wrest- ling match that was all one sided. It took Lewls, however, one hour, four minutes and 45 seconds to get the first fall. A headlock finally made Lewis sag enough for the fall. The second fall came when Roller quit when the | “Strangler” got a head hold that seemed likely to break the doctor's neck. Eleven minutes and 17 sec- onds were all that the second bout lasted. MARKET RALLIED Gains Were Most Pronounced in High Grade Rails and Standard Industri- New York, Nov. 7.—Active stocks made substantial 'recoveries today from recent low quotations, after an early spasm of weakness. Rallles, it was generally believed might have made greater progress but for the in- creased heaviness of bonds many of which registered new minimums. The most obvious inference drawn from the day’s operations was that the protracted “liquidationhad exhausted itself rendering aditional short selling extremely hazardous. Apart from lower prices for local utilities, there were no indications that yesterday's election exefted more than passing influence. Gains were most pronounced in the stocks which recently experienced greatest losses namely, high grade rails and standard industrials. To- day’s rebound carried Reading, Great Northern, Union Pacificc New York Central an Illinois Central 3 to 6 points over Monday's depressed levels. United States Steel made a gross advancef of 3 3-8 to 95 1-2 and other steels and equipments were two to six points higher at their best, shad- ing, however, on recurrent realizing in the last hour. Shippings and coppers rose 2 to 3 1-2 points, but eased with the general list, final quotations av- eraging 1 to 1 1-2 under the top. Trading after the initial tremor was quite regular, although a few dormant issues like Atchison at 83 and Ameri- can Telephone at 109 7-8 were added to the long list of new low records. Brooklyn Transit also made a new minimum at 47 and New Haven’'s drop of 3 points to 21 3-4 put that stock within a slight fraction of its lowest quotation. Sales amounted to 975,000 shares. Internationals, notably war flotations, led the general decline in bonds. Lib- erty 4's were firm at par to 100.02, but the 3 1-2’s weakened from 99.60 to the low record of 99.44. Total sales (par value) $4 575,000. United States bonds (old issues), un- changed on call. STOCKS.

MANY UNUSUAL FEATURES IN 1917 BASEBALL SEASON Statistics Bring Out Many Glaring Faults of Season’s Piay. The records of the major league clubs during the past baseball season present some unusual and interesting features. While the statistics employ- ed are not based upon the officiai av- erages they conform closely to the au- thentic percentages, and for the pur- poses of comparison are thoroughly re- liable, being cornpiled in many cases from the official box scores. The records show that the Chicago American league club, winners of the world’s championship series, led the junior organization in both the num- ber of games won and the total num- ber of runs scored. In no other de- partment did the White Sox hold the premier position, although the ayer- age of the team was very high. Bos- ton played the greatest number of games during the season, due to five of | the contests bein tie games. — Detroit | which finished fourth, led in hitting, | whila the Boston Red Sox held. the | | opposing ‘teams to the lowest number of runs. T The figures also give a clear insight into_the loose play of the Philadelphia Athletics. who finished in last place. The Mackmen scored next to the larg- est total of runs, being but 33 behind the Chicago club in this respext, and but 23 hits short of the Detroit record, which enabled the Tigers to kin the first place in this department of the game. As an offset to this excellent offense, however, the Athletlcs show- cd the poorest defensive play of any club in the American league. ‘The Philadelphia team. made the largest number of errors, had the greatest nmumber of runners left on the bases and_their opponents scored more runs against the team than against any other club_on the circut. In the National league the - New York Giants, winners of the pennant and losers of the world's series, play- ed: the most games, completing their full schedule of 154 games, with four tie contests, bringing the total up to i58. As was the case -with the Chi- cago White Sox, the pennant winning combination in the senior orsmnization also scored the most runs, the Giants' record in this respect being 636. Cin- cinnati, however, piled up_the largest total of hits, while the Chicago Na- tionals perpetrated the greatest num- ber of errors. The Boston ' ‘Braves had the most runners stranded on the hases during the season of 1917, and Cincinnati proved the easiest to score s the, other sevtn clubs col- lected a total of 617 runs from the Reds in the 157 games played. The Brooklyn club, winner” of the 1916 pennant, aside from its feat in plaving the largest: number of tle games, failed to show the form of a vear ago The Superbas made less: runs than an yteam in the league, with the exception of Pittsburgh; was'third in total hits, made tha third largest number of errors and was about at tha halfway mark in men left on the bases and In runs scorea by eppon- en WAR MAY CURTAIL BASEBALL NEXT YEAR The Draft is Playing Havoe With the Big Teams. Baseball, like the merry dance, is to g0 on next year.. Governor Tener and ‘Ban Johnson, as well as various of the surance that the game will be played neéxt season unless conditions §evelop l#?{!thl:_i war is all that She a Sherman said.- it was. and while sequestering in the customary winter oblivon, the men | who handle the reins and likewise (heE money, are making plans for =o 4§~ radical changes for what they con- sider the most uncertain season in many years. It is the opinion of most baseball men that the draft is going to figure very prominently in baseball before next vear and in this instance the draft has a double meaning. The gov- ernment will undoubtedly draft heav ily. upon ball players before another spring calls around and as a measure of reprisal for self-preservation the big leagues will have to draft heavily on the minor league players to fill the ranks. In this manner the big leagues will be kept in operation, but as a conse- guence many minor leagues which weathered the last season will be practically put out of business. 'COON HUNTING a Strong Man’s Game, Says Ex- | pert, Who Tells How to Trap the| animal. POINTERS ON It By Morris Ackerman. . ’Coon hunting is a strong man's sport. Hunting in the night through marsh, dale and wood is not for the weak. i Dogs — ’coon dogs — are the first necessity.
