NO WILLARD-DEMPSEY BOUT AT CAMP SHERIDEN Military Authorities Refuse to Permit Salvation Army Boxing. Chicago, Awg. 9.—The pocsibility of 2 Willard-Dempsey boxing matchi van- ished tonight when it was announced hat the boxing carnival scheduled at Fort Sheriden tomorrow for the ben- |efit of the Salvation Army overseas var fund, has been called off, as a re- ult of the committee in charge failing to confer with Fort Sheriden officials, who in turn prohibited the match | At first the carnival, which was to have included several bouts was to be | staged at Comiskey Park here but Chief of Police Alcock declared he would stop the match if it took every policeman in the city to enforce the state law. A number of prominent boxers who were to have taken part in the carni- | val arrived in Chicago tonight It is expected that they will return to their homes tomorrow. Jess Willard, Ted Lewis and Johnny Kilbane were among the arrivals tonight MIKE DONLIN SCON TO GO TO FRANCE Ex-Giant to be Baseball Instructor to Members of A. E. F. Mike Donlin, for years an idol of Giant fans, is to go to France as a | baseball instructor for . the soldiers. Old “Turkey Mike,” slugger extraordi- nary and one of the most picturesque figures the national pastime ever has produced, is to be appointed to that position by the committee on training camp activities, and expects to go overseas in the near future. Donlin, whose efforts have been de- voted to a number of -enterprises since his retirement from baseball, is known to fans the country over, and it is certain that there are many boys in khaki “over there” who have cheered the former outfielder on ma- jor league diamonds in happier days gone by. Mike is a real hustler, the sort of fellow who puts his heart into the work at hand, be it a ball game, a vaudeville sketch or a venture which requires his peculiar genius for or- ganizing, The committee is making a wise move in its selection of Donlin for such services as will be required of him, and its judgment is certain to be applauded by those most af- fected by it—the youthful soldiers of democracy serving their country in a| shell torn land.

The first meeting over it started on Labor Day when Hamburg Belle won the Charter Oak Purse, trotting the three fastest heats on record up to that date. I'or har- ness racng the smooth, hard sur- face makes the fastest track. While a top cushion may take the jar off the stroke of the horses racing over it, the loose soil makes considerable re- sistance to the wheels of the sulky. It is on that account that a clay track is the fastest. ~With favorable con- ditions it is possible to prepare a strip of footing as smooth and as hard on the surface as a belt. This is the kind of footing that Directum I had when he reduced the Hartford track record to 1:58%. On that day Murphy started him to beat two minutes and did not chase him away at top speed, the fractional time for the first half being 1:00% ang the first quarter 30% seconds., The following week at Syracuse -he was fortunate in getting exactly the same kind of a track and paced in 1:563%. It is possible to get 5| almost the same kind of a surface on a loam track after a hard rain before the moisture has had an opportunity to evaporate as was shown at Pough- keepsie last year when St. Frisco trotted in 2:01%. Tommy Berry has won seven races off the reel with Worthy Peter. Murphy has been a mile in 2:12% with the two-year-old filly Derothy Day. Frank Dewey won his fourth race in the Bay State Circuit at Greenfield, Mags. in 2:10%.

John Howell defeated Miriam Guy and Emma Tipton in the three-year- old race at Brooklyn,” N. Y, with Dr. Elmore in 2:14%. Dark Flower, a winner at North Randall, has been sent to Lexington and turned out. She will not be start- ed again until 1919.

This can be attri- buteq to the vegetable fibre which is still in the soil, making the footing firm-and at the same time elastic. It soon disappears from a course after it has been’ springled, harrowed and bushed and nothing grown on it for a year or two. In the spring of 1908 Charter Oak Park, which was built in 1874, was cut up and sowed to rye. This grew until the middle of August when it was turned under a disk har- row and the surface worked back into e EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD KNOW HOW TO SHOOT It is Necessary That Every Soldier Know How to Shoot—And Shoot Straignt—And It is Of Vital Im- Portance, Too, That Those Who Are Not On the Firing Line Shouid Learn to Shoot. By PETER P. CARNEY Editor National Sports Syndicate “1 want -vez American soldier to be able to t” That sentence—brief and to the —-—— _— A e e e e point—is from the lips of the Com- mander of the American forces abroad —General Johnu J. Pershing. Every American soldier should be able to, shoot—and shoot straight— and ‘so should every American. This feeling ix becoming more prevalent every day. The Learn To Shoot idea 1 is traveling fast. The National Shoot- ing ' Associations are doing their ut- most to encourage every one to take up shooting as a means of recreation and protection. Quite naturally the Geovernment approves. No man is sent to the firing line until he is a qualified marksman...No man can learn to shoot in a day or a month. It takes considerable .study and a long time to make a man a good shot with a rifle or shotgun, It takés a leng time 10 develop an effective army when men must be taught to shoot after enlistment. Learn to Shoot. Every boy and man in Switzerland Kknows how to shoot and there is no valid .reason why every American should rot be able to shoot. It is compulsory that the Swiss learn te shoot. A boy at the age of seven is given a gun and taught how to use it. Every one must serve some time in the army; several weeks each year, and in this period of time one demon- strates his fitness. There is no need of compulsory leg- islation on this peint in the United States, for Americans are fully awake to the fact that they must Learn To Shoot. Knowing how to shoot is the best form of preparedness. Since the advent of America into the World War Home Defense Guards have been formed in every State; the Natibnal Rifle Association has taken a mnew lease on life and the trapshooting elubs have become places of the utmost importance. Working on the same line as the Home Defense is the National Association of Shot Gun Owrers, In places the Home Defense Corps has been supplied with rifles, but in a great number of places this auxiliary defense has been equipped with shot- guns. Rifles can be used only on the ranges. Shotguns can be used more often because long-distance shooting or heavy execution at short range is unnecessary. New York and Massa- chusetts Home Defense Corps are fully equippd with shot-guns. The police 1 many cities have been supplied with riot ‘guns and to be a member of the National :‘Association of Shot Gun Own- ers it is necessary to own a gun and bave 50 rounds of ammunition. Learn to Shoot. Ali these things make shooters. Then the National Rifle Association has spread broadcast this declaration: “Teach the American hoy and young man to h?nd e any weapon which is availabl but teach him to shoot.” The main idea is to educate every one to shoot before the Government has to do it. The Government is now de- veloping shooting in its many branches. Rifles are used exclusively in the trenches, but this may not always be the case. It has been suggested that trapshooters be placed in the front-line trenches during the day time to shoot at the break hand grenades before they reach their destination. This has been tried and it was found that a good trapshooter had no diffi- culty in bagging the grenades and ex- ploding them in the air. There are up- ward of 100,006 trapshooters in the National Army. ,From this number General Pershing and his staff should be able to select many first-class trap shots wko step into the first<line trenches and with scatter guns play havoc with the hand grenades thrown by. the Huns. This means that the shotgun will plgy an important part in warfare in the future. Learn to Shoot. Getting down to brass tacks, we need a citizenry trained in arms. The Gov- ernment realizes this—so does the great industrial establishments. The West- ern Electric Company, the Pennsyl- Railroad Company, and the Ship- ng Corporations that are turning out the great fleet for the Government |are firm believers in having their em- Iployoes ow how te handle firearms. | There are 35 gun clubs on the system jof the Pennsylvania Railroad. At nearly every oae of the shipyards will be found a regularly organized sun club. - Trapsheoting is encouraged by these organizations not only as a patriotic sport, a means® of recreation and a healthful exercise, but a duty that every one should perform. Being able to shoot means that one is better able to protect himself, his home and his country. The War Department is erecting 86 traps, purchasing one million targets a2 week and making trapshooting one of the courses in instruction in the flying echoois 2nd the military schools of aeronautics, showed that it is giving considerable attention to the shotgun and its mission. Traps are in use’at all of the fiying schools, where every pupil shoots at 50 clay targets each week, and at the military schools of aeronautics, as well as in some of the cantonments. No greater testi- monial in favor of the Learn To Shoot idea comld.be given than this, Trapshooting will come through the war as‘the sport of the nation, a healthful and patriotic sport; a pas- time “that. has a solid foundation; something that every one should do as a matter of preparedness—and live -that much longer by doing it PORRS L S GEER 5 | October 1st.
