This action was taken so that the national baseball commission could present a brief set- ting forth its views in the matter. Provost Marshal General Crowder gave a hearing today to representa- tives of the Washington American league ciub preparatory to making a report to Secretary Baker with rec- ommendations ts to whether the sec- retary’s order making the new regula- tions immediately applicable to the players should be modified so as not to interfere with this year's schedules of prefessional leagues. Representative Nicholas Longworth of Ohio appeared on behalf of August Herrmann, chairman of the national commission, and asked that the de- cision be postponed so the commission could formally present its case. Gen- eral Crowder said he was prepared to make his recommendations, but would postpone further action until Wednes- day if the representatives of _the Washington club present agreed. They did and the matter went over. Manager Grifiith of the Washington club announced that his team would leave for St. Louis so as to play the game scheduled for Thursday unless President Johnson directs otherwise or arranges a game nearer to Washington S0 as to save traveling expenses if the decision of Secretary Baker is un- favorable.

By an Old-Time Shooter, for National Shocts: Syndicate: You read the day before yesterday how Sam Jones, at the Spotless Town Gun club, broke a “straight.” You are interested. You -know he shot -at something or other with a gun that burned powder and threw lead, but the details to just what was broken and the kind of gun used are not clear. g It seems mysterious and complicated. It isn't at all. He used a shotgun which has a bore or a hale, through it about three-quarters of ‘an inch in diameter, which is known as a “12- gauge” In this gun are used paper shells’ with brass heads. They are loaded with about three drams of smokeless powder and one and one- eighth ounces of shot. The target or clay pigeons, as they are called, are saucers made of a coal- tar composition, which is quite brittle. v are about four inches in diame- The trap is really a throwing ma- chine which, by means of a mechanical arm, sails these saucers, bottom side up, through the air about 50 yards. Five Shooting Points. There are five shooting points ranged in a semi-circle back of the trap, to accommodate the five shooters who make up a squad. Beginning with No. 1, which is the extreme left position facing the traps, the shooters take turns. Each man, when his turn to shoot comes, assumes the shooting position, with the gun at his shoulder, and calls “Pull!” The trapper, Who stands back of the shooters, and has a lever connected with the trap, releases a spring arm which sails the target into the air. The shooter fires and if he breaks the tar- get the scorer calls “dead” and marks 1 on the scoreboard. If he does not hit he calls “lost” and marks a zero on the scoreboard Squads usually shoot 25 shots for each man, and if a man breaks all his 25 targets he has broken a straight. You will probably ask why they call the throwing machine a “trap.” The word trap is used because trapshoot- ing, as practiced at present with a throwing machine and clay saucers, is a development of the old game of shooting at live birds, which were re- leased from a trap. The throwing machine took the place of the live pigeons. Clay pigeon shooting has many ad- vantages over live-bord shooting. For one thing, it is very much less expen- sive and a great deal less trouble. You can buy clay pigeons in a barrel and store them away in_your shooting- heous, whereas live birds would re- quire considerable care. Organize a Club. If you want to try this intensely in- teresting sport, find out ‘where thel nearest trapshooting club it, and+show up at one of their practice shoots. If you are a long way from a trapshoot- ing club, you can secure a hand-trap and a barrel of clay targets gather some friends together, and try it for yourself. You will find trapshooters & cordial bunch, and after watching them a while and talking the matter over with some of the shooters you will be able to decide just what kind of a shotgun you want. There are new men starting the game all the time, as there always must be with any sport which is rapidly grow- ing, and you needn’t be a bit afraid to display ignorance on any point con- nected with the game. The other shooters were in the same boat themselves once. and will take great pleasure in coaching you in every way possible. Doings in the Auto World How to Get to Army Cantonments “More Miles per Gallon™ “More Miles on Tires” Maxwell ‘Motor Cars | FRISBIE-McCORMICK CO., 25 Shetucket St., PHONE 212 thousands of automobile tours this year. Reports from 120 branches of The B. F. Goodrich Rubber Company, where route cards and state maps are distributed covering logs to any camp in the United States, say that ten to twenty-five per cent of the requests for touring information are from auto- ists making trips to Uncle Sam’s big training camps. On account of the congested condi- tion in the vicinity of most of the big camps the Groodrich representatives advise tourists to carry along camping outfits. Most of the camps and forts have permitted camping in natural camping locations adjacent to the mili- tary grounds. There is a camp in access to almost any district of the country. The dis- trict between the farthest loealities and a cantonment may be spanned in less than a three days' drive. New England has one camp, the middle At- lantic territory two, the southeast three, the middle west five, the south- west two and the northwegt one. Here are the locations of the largest camps and road and tourist camping party information for those contem- pliating trips to our soldier making plants. Camp Custer—More than 200 cars carry the passengers between Battle Creek, Mich., and Camp Custer, which is 3 miles distant. Another concréte road has been started, to run from the city limits ‘west and through the camp, so that all trafic may run out one road and back the other. There are good camping grounds along the Kalamazoo river near the camp. The Y. M. C. A. buildings throughout the. camp have suitable comfort stations for visitors. Camp Devens—The roads from Bos- ton to Ayer ,Mass., the site of Camp Devens, are excellent, and the camp also may. be reached from Wiorcester and Springfield over good roads.

Naturally, ample hotel and garage accommodiations are furnished in Philadelphia. Camp Dix at Wrightstown, N. J,, is reached from Philadelphia via Mason- ville, Mount Holly, Pemberton and Lewistown. Camp Dodge—Camp Dodge has the selected men from Iowa, North Dakota, Minnesota and several counties in cen- tral Illinois. It is 11 miles north and west of Des Moines, Iowa.
