Benny Kauff, who, was notified by the local board in Pemeory, Ohio, to appear for &xamination for entrance into the National army next Thurs- day, has arranged with that body to be examined by the local board in Marlin upon: his arrival there Thurs- day afternoon. There is a doubt as to whether or not-he will be accepted for service owing to the fact that one of his arms is a trifile shorter than the other. This, it would seem, ought not to interfere seriously with his work as a soldier, but he may be barred on a techinicality. However, if the aofficials decide that Benny is physically able to perform any duties required of him the, little fellow will make a galant and willing soldier of democracy. Should Kauff be called to the colors, the Giants’ outfield will comprise Ross Young in right field, Joe Wilhoit in center and George Burns in left. Wil- hoit and Burns are both married and have been granted deferred classifica- | tion, while Young is not yet of mili- tary age.

Close to sixty such. contests have been an- nounced ang it is-likely that several others will be added to the already lengthy schedule before the clubs com- plete their journeys through the south and southwest. Based upen the experience of past years it is not likely that all of th:sn; 0! of recent’ seasons show that not more than fifty per cent. of the games ar- ranged -are completed, rain and wind to abandon while en- route.

Philadeiphia, Brooklyn, St. Louis and Cincinnati will see one or more such contests. There are but three games between teams in the same league in the entir list and these will be played very-early during the iraining trips so that they will have little bearimg, from a compara- tive standpeint, upon the work of the teams in the actnal league play. A two year record of these ante-sea- son games shows that seventy-seven have been played of which the Na- tional eague teams won fortv-three and the American league clubs thirty-three with one-contest atie.

The German answer to President ‘Wilson's speech was: “It will be an- swered by the sword, and that a hard b‘liow would come sooner than expect- ed.” To the people of the Ugited States, this can have but one meaning, and that is that our country will be in- vaded by the enemy, not as invasiocn has been defined in the past, but in the German way.

A large majority of theSe men have proven themselves good citizens but there are many mfore who have not forsworn. their allegiance to the land that gave.them birth and neth- ing else, and feel that they are bound to uphold the Fatherland even at the sacrifice of their own lives. There are the ones.we must;look out for and It is the duty of every American citizen to exhaust every resource in defending his home ‘and country, and while w ecannot all join the army, every man can show his patriotism in one way or another. ‘We must provide sufficient protec- tion against mobs, riots-and invasiom by these cnemy aliens who are still at liberty, and the plan of the National Association of Shotgun Owners will do Jmore to solve this question than any 8o far' submitted.

Protect Every City and Town. The object of the National Associa” | tion of Shotgun Owners is to organize as ‘many of these shotgun owners as possible into a National Home Defense Association, with local companies in each gnd every city and town in the country, By doing this we provide a home guard for each locality, compos- ed of their own citizens, who have their own interests and hoems to pro- tect. In short, we are furnishing a State Guard for each State without expense to them, as our members are already armed and will furnish their own ammunition. There will be no expense for move- ment of troops, for each local town and county will have their own com- pany, which will take care of their own locality. These local companies, which are being organized, will elect their own officers from their members. The -officers will keep in touch with the local authorities, and, in case of _trouble, will mobilize the members on short notice for first aid in the pro- tection of their lives, homes and prop- erty. To cover the expenses of this or- ganization, a membership fee of 50 cents is charged. Should there be a surplus over and above the necessary expenses this money will be used for the purchase of magazines and other things that will interest the soldiers in the cantonments and in the trenches. Patriotism and home defense is the keynote of the association, and we] will have done a great geod for the country when we cover this broad land with local organizations of. shotgun owners who have the courage to use their shotgun, if need be, against the enemies of our country. There is no plausible reason why every shotgun owner should not be a member of this association, for the only qualifications are that you own a shotgun and are a loyal American citizen. The national offices of the associa- tion are located at No. 17 East Elev- enth street, New York. and the nation- al secretary, R. B. Hurst, will be pleased to answer an yquestion or give any further information upon request.

When the last shot has been fired and the winner or winners announced, applause is permitted, and if the match be an important one, gun bugs show themselves generous in their applause, regardless of whether the outcome is to their liking or not. On the part of the shooter, it is'an unwritten law of the sport that the loser be the first to congratulate his rival, an informal ceremony that takes place as soon as the result is known and in the presencé of the spectators.
