WAR LEFT MARK ON PENN. RELAY Introduction of Five Military Events a Feature This Year. The great war left its indelible mark on the Penn. relay, America’s greatest amateur athletic classic, when five distinctive army stunts were added to the events which have constityted the meet since its in- ception. New events added were the rescue race, the bavonet charge race, wall scaling, squad drill and bugle som- petition. The rescue race is distinctively a Red Cross or medical corps stunt. The runner must carry another Hfan on his shoulder. The form used is that used by men in seryice to res- cue wounded men from areas under fire, The bayonet charge race com- bines both speed and accuracy, ofr the runners must bavopet dummies set up at the end of the course: The Penn relays this year un- covered at least two phenomenal athletes. Shea, the great Michigan middle distance runner, who car- ried his team-mates to victory in two-mile relays, one for the college championship of America, running the last quarter in almost record time, and William Bartells, Penn- sylvania freshman, the pentathlon winner. It was the first time in the his- tory of the Penn relay that a fresh- man was able to win from a field comprising the best college men the country. To be sure the this year was not up to the stand- ards of other years, when the all- around colleze championship was won by men like Jim Thorpe and Howard Berry. but it was a great achievement for Bartells just the same, Bartells won- the javelin hurl and discus throw, took second in the { broad -jump, fifth in the 200-meter run and sixth in the 1500-meter run, jogging the last event when he found he had enough points to win the pentathlor. s With the northern golf season open- a change in the national woman’s title, now held by Miss Alexa Stirling of Atlanta. Miss Stirling probably will not enter national competition this year as she is devoting most of her time to war work and some time ago announced that she probably would seek to drivi an ambulance for the Women’s Coun cil of National Defense. Competition for the title is likely to result in a four-cornered drive be. tween Mrs. W. A. Gavir of New York Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd, holder of the north and south title; Miss Elaine Rosenthal .former north and south champion, and Mrs. Donald Bar- low of Philadelphia. Mrs. Gavin, the former champion is regarded as one of the most bril- iant women golfers of the country She is now engaged in patriotic match- es, receipts from which will go to the | Red Cross. Mrs. Gavin was not among | the contenders for the north and south title at Pinehurst and the other three women have a little start on her, but her form so far has been excellent and | it is thoughy she will have a good chance to retrieve, her title. . Mrs. Hurd. who is better known to the golfing world as Miss Dorothy Campbell, pla in the south this year and is certain to give Mrs. Gavin some lively com- petition. Fiftcen Years Old and the Champion Trapshot of Texas. By PETER P. CARNEY Editor National Sports Syndicate One of the contestants for the Na- tional Amateur Trapshooting Cham- pionship, to be decided on August 6 at the South Shore Country Club, Chicago, I1L, will be Master Harley F. Woodward. the 15-year-old trapshoot- ing champion of Texas. The National Amateur Championship is one of the events of the Grand Am- erican Handicap Trapshooting Tourna- ment, which takes place August 5 to 9, inclusive, Harley F. Woodward (The 15-Year-Old Trapshooting Champion of Texas) Winning a State trapshooting cham- pionship is a great achievement, and winning a State title at 15 years is an even greater triumph. Young Wood- ward will ot be 16 years of age until August 22. It is needless to predict that the shooting of Master Wood- ward in the National titular event will be carefully scrutinized. In winning the Texas State Cham- pionship young Woodward had to de- feat E. F. Forsgard, a veteran, and one of the best shots in the Lone Star State, in a shoot-off at &0 targets. They tied for the championship on 98 breaks. On the shoot-off Woodward ran 18, 20, 16, 20, while Forsgard broke 18, 20, 16, 19. Forsgard had completed his string in the titular event when young Wood- ward was half way. Having missed two targets the youngster had to break every target to tie—and he did.. He finished out with a Tun of 71 succes- sive breaks. On the 650 targets thrown in the State Shoot. young Woodward had an average of 95 per cent. That the lad comes from “good shooting stock” was demonstrated when his father, E. F. Woodward, won the Texas State Handicap with 95 breaks from 20 yards.

How often have we heard the same remark passed at a boxing show but it seldom did any good. Either the fighting blood of the Jack- sons is not as red as it used to be in the days of Stonewall and Old Hick- ory, or “General Joe” of the Chicago White Sox concluded there was enough of his family in the war already.

SHOOTING FOR 100 YEARS | Montgomery, Ala., and Louisville, Ky., | 'Have Men Who Assert They Took Up Scattergun Shooting a Century Ago. By .PETER CARNEY Editor National Sports Syndicate The “old-timers” shoots which.are now being conducted by the gun clubs of the United States and Canada have taken hold as well, if not better, than any trapshooting event of i years, An “old-timer” from a trapshooting standpoint means 15 years as a devotee of the greatest of out door recrea- tions. Fifteen years is abost as long as one participates in baseball, boxing tennis, track athletics or Kkindred sports, and then the baseball togs, the glqves, raccuet or spiked shoes are put away for the moths to hide in. With shooting it is different. Onme never grows too old to enjoy the pleas- ure of shooting—in the field or over the traps. Fifteen years may class a trapshoot- er among the “old-timers” and may make him feel as if he were a veteran of the sport; ,but if the 15-year “old- timer” could glance over the names of Jewett Business Thayer Building, Norwich, Connecticut We open the eleventh year of our work in new, commodious quarters, with up- to-date equipment, using modern methods in our trammg THE JEWETT BUSINESS SCHOOL is conducted for the purpose of providing young men and young women with the necessary training, that they may reach a DaySennon,QtoZ..........

Clubs who have “old-time” shooters | among their . membership—and there are few clubs that haven’t—were re- quested to turn in the names of the veterans and along with the name the number of years said veteran had been shooting. Five thousand names came to hand during the last week in March and the first three in April of men who had been shooting for 15 years or more. It ddesn't seem possible that such could be the case, yet there are listed two men who claim to have taken up shooting 100 years ago and another who has been shooting for 75 years. Of the remaining number 10 have been shooting for 50 years; 12 for 45 years, 24 for 40 years, 126 for 35 years, 204 for 30 years and 338 for 25 years. Truly, shooters live to a ripe old e. The two who profess to be shooters of 100 years’ standing are Mose Moore, of Montgomery, Ala. and Samuel Hutchings, of Louisville, Ky. The T year shooter is Patrick Kearney S of Saratoga Springs, N. Y. Just how o] they are we have no idea: but they must be pretty well along in_years. Moral:..lIf you want to live for a long time, take up shooting. Doings in the Auto World Care of Rims Essential to Longevity of Tires—Chicago Speedway Race. With the extreme need of con- servation of automobile tires being constantly brought to the attention of the naticn’s tire users, thousands of motorists who formerly little heeded repeated injunctions to consider their tires, are applying the various rec- ommended tire savers that add much to_tire life. It is characteristic of a great many exhortations on tire care, however, that they refer mainly to the tire it- self to the exclusion of other impor- tant elements that really have a vital bearing on the tire’s life. And tires can not be made to run out their al- lotted mileage except through the ap- plication of all tire saving principles. In the use of tires, the care of the rim—or its neglect—has a much greater effect than commonly sup- posed,” is the declaration of James Atkins, Manazer of the Rim Depart- ment of a large tire company. “Bent rims cause a lot of trouble commonly attributed to other causes,” he says. “I have known tires to go out of com- mission before rendering 500 miles of service, due to a break in the tire just above the bead, caused by a bent rim. “Loose demountable rims cause a lot of tire trouble. If one of the small wedges that helps to hold the rim tight to the wheel becomes loose or jiggles off, the rim starts “working” and gradually the other wedges work loose. Then the rim begins to “creep” and the valve stem bears the entire strain. The result 1s thé same as when a licycle tire creeps—the valve stem pulls off and a tire change is unavoidable. “In applying a demountable rim, great care must be used to malte sure that the rim is tightened as nearly uniform as possible around its circum- ference. If the wedges are drawn up unevenly the tire will wobble and the tread will wear off abnormally. Us- ually by careful prying after getting the wedges even, the rim will slip into its place on the wheei easily, and there will be no need, of pounding the rim to get it on. I have seen motor- ists pound both the rim and the tire savagely with a sledge hammer to get a rim off or on. This is bad, for every blow an the. tire (miayicatinoty fabric \u——————————‘“ J mbe dk and the poundingon-therim may nd it. ’Rust:y rims are respflns!'bb for a lot of damage. They corrode ' tubes, making tire changing difficult and the tire to “freeze” on.. Moisture is bound to work in any type of rim. But its effects can be nuitified by care- ful periodical inspection of your rims. They should be cleaned up at least once every six months and treated with graphite. Ordinary paint will not suffice, as the heat gemerated by the tire will melt the paint and the tire will stick to the rim. So be sure to use graphite. “Tighten up the bolts on the wedges that hold the rim to the wheel, at least monthly. Any car owner who takes the time to inspect his rims periodical and keep them in good condition will certainly save himself both trouble and money.” The third big automobile race of the present season, at the Chicago speedway, June 22, resulted in a nota- b}e victory for the veteran driver, Liuis Chevrolet. Fully thirty-five thousand people, the largest crowd ever assembled at the Chicago track, watched the flying Frenchman, speed- way champion of 1917, whizz around the two-mile course in his maroon Frontenac, 100 miles in 55 minutes, 29 seconds, an average of 109 miles an hour. Chevrolet’s victory was possible be- cause of his freedom from tire and me- chanical trouble. He assumed the lead early in the race and was never headed off, although closely pressed i!)r_t{ughout by Ralph Mulford and Ira ail. At the start Ralph De Palma, Dario Resta ang Louis Chevrolet ruled as favorites, but mechanical trouble forced De Palma and Resta to the pits, allowing Chevrolet to pile up a lead which could not be overcome. His vie- tory was also a notable one for sthe straight side or ‘“no hook” type of cord tire, for his trusty Frontenac was equipped with tires of this type. That racing drivers discarding the old theory that none but a clincher tire would stay on the rim at racing speeds, is indicaied in the use of the straight side type by four of the noted drivers, Chevrolet, De Palma, Resta and Vail, at_Chi In starting the race the handicap system was used. De Palma was placed on scratch and handicaps vary- ing from fifteen to ninety seconds ex- tended to the other drivers, based on the speed of their cars. This method has been found the most satisfactory in providing an equality of oppor- tunity to all the competing drivers, and will be foilowed in all of the big racing events of the season. The drivers finished in the following order: Chevrolet, Mulford, Vail, Hick- ey, Oidfield, Alle ilton, Fetterman, De Palma and McBride. I'§ addition to the big event a three-heat ten-mile race was run. Resta took the first heat and Chevrolet the secoird. The three fastest cars in these two heats qualified for the third heat, which was captured by Resta in a spectacular fmish at 109 miles an hour. A new track record was established y Ralph De Palma in a special ex- ibition lap, his time for the two miles, being one minute, two and two- fifths seconds, an average of 116 miles an hour, three miles better than Resta’s former record. This was not the fastest time of the day, however, for in the big 100 mile race De Palma reeled off several intermediate laps at the rate of 120 miles an hour. The terrific pace set in the after- noon’s events is indicated in the con- dition of the track after its close. In places it had the appearance of having been sprinkled with kindling wood, torn from the track by the flying cars. At times a swirl of splinters would follow in the suction of the cars as they stormed by the grandstand. At the finish of the race the radiators of several cars were almost covered with wooq splinters that had been sucked from the air by the fans. A R}
