While I look forward with anticipation to the baseball season, T would not care to manage the Cleveland club.” Speaker .although now on the in- active list of the naval aviation echool at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will continue to wear the 'mxfo'm for some weeks.

The meeting was called by Pres- ident Ban Johnson today. The questions to be settled at the meeting include the length of the schedule, the date for opening the sea- son and the number of players which each club will be allowed to carry. President Johnson said he believed the American league would make no change in the player limit, or the length of the schedule, which proba- bly would call for 134 games, APPOINTS COMMITTEE FOR TRAPSHOOTING ASSOCIATION New York, Dec. 5.—T.

EIGHT-MEN TIED IN 5 SIX DAY BICYCLE RACE Madison Square Garden, New York, Dec. 6.—The enforced retirement of Henri Gerwig and Willie Keller, be- cause of ‘the former’s.illness, reduced the'field of riders in the six day icy- cle race at Madison Square Garden t an' even dozen teams. At m!flnlcht eight of the-teams were tied with a mark of 1,666 miles and 6 laps each. Two other teams weré one lap behind the leaders. The record for 9 hours is 1,904 miles and 9 laps, made here four years ago by Cameron and Kaiser. Marcel Dupuy, the French rider, who lost his partner, the veteran Frank Kramer, early yesterday, and teamed up with Bellows, responsible for a lot of the lively springing which furnish- ed the excitement tonight. McNamara and his .teammate, Magin, however, were the men who ecored the Breat- est number of points, according to the French method of scoring, having a tally of 298, while Madden and Corry were in second place with 24 and Grenda and Hill were next with 184. As the point scoring is confined to the eight leading teams, Dupuy and his partner, Bello, who are two laps behind, did not benefit by their hard work and they were not even abel to gain a lap after making several ear- nest attempts to do so. JIM RICE MAY ACCEPT POSITION ON WEST COAST New York, Dec. 5.—The announce- ment' that.Jim Rice, former rowing coach at Columbia Um\erslt'r, is con- sidering the acceptance of a- similar position with a Pacific Coast college opens a field of interesting possibili- ties. Rice is e of the best rowing instructors in the country, his closest rivals in the past having been Court- ney, of Cornell, and Jim Wray, Sr., of Syracuse, both of whom have retired from tue coaching within the past few seasons. Because he is considered the peer among the active coaches at the pres- ent time, Rice’'s services are being eagerly sought by no less than five colleges or universities, all of which are preparing to r a nier rowing upon larger scale within the next two Of these three are eastern in- stitutions with worthy rowing tradi- tions and records attheir backs ard if it is a question of salary alone, they will meet willingly any figures which mdy Dbe offered by Pacific coast uni- 3 e is a field for greater activity in rowing amonz the Eastern college than would be the e should Rice decide to accept an offer from the for a . Rowing authorities loo't for FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL STOCKS. MARKET V{AS DULL. New York, Dec. 5.—Stocks idly during the greater part of today’s extremely professional session, prices of many leading issues evincing a turther disposition to decline under moderate pressure. Reversion to the old rule on stock margins, permitting -brokers to loan up to 80 per cent. on collateral, failed to stimulate outside interest in the slightest degree, nor did this modifica- tion tend to relax rates for money. Pools were fairly active, neverthe- less, .in such speculative favorites as tobaccos, motors, oils, sugars and sev- eral miscellaneous issues, gross gains in these diviions ranging from two to almost ten points. Interest in the general industrial situation was heightened by the pub- lication of reviews and surveys which | mads pessimistic references} to the | future of the steel and iron trade, with predictions. of a gZeneral cut in pre- vailing price schedules. U. Steel was the objective of in- cessant pressure, although - yielding only half a point at the close. Other industrials and equipments also made material recoveries in the final hour and gas shares featured the utilities at gains of two to four points, although local tractions were inclined to yield. Rails and shippings were among the uncertain features, the former show- ing irregularity throughout, while Marines eased in the later dealings with metals and obscure specialties. Sales were 440.000 shares. The tone of U. S. government bonds again afforded a contrast to the bal- ance of the bond list, Liberty issues continuing to decline, the fourth 4 1-4s making a new low at 95.96. ales, par value, were $11,375,000.

Written by Peter F. Carney Editor National Sports Syndicate. Now that the war is over and peace once more reigns throughout.the world America will again be & nation of shooters. The - world again is used advisedly. In bygone days, befors my time and yours, every American uld shoot— and shoot straight. Shooting in those memorable Gays was necessary for the protection of.the home and to supply the lardor. As the population of the United States increased and America gained wealth and strength thrg,ugh its varied industries many of us failed to give the same time and consideration to firearms that our forefathers did. Here- after every son of Uncle Sam will be friendly with a .gun, whather he now wearing khaki, or stili in teens. We have learned something that we will be a long time forgetting. ‘When the Yanks return home, one, two or three millions of them, after a year's fighting over the battlefields of Flanders, and .knee-deep in the muddy trenches of France, and having for a companion all this time a rifle or shotgun, they will be expert shoot- ers. The return of the Yanks bring us back to our original statement that America will again be a Nation of Shooters. The day is coming when no city or town, big or small, will b abie to meet its requirements without a gun club. There are now 4323 of these zun clubs in America and there wili be double that number in the days that we will live to see. It was these schools of shoting instruction that heiped answer the charge of unpreparedness against the United States for tiiev furned out the shooters who in their first fight stopped the Huns and thereafter drove the Gérmans back. A Game They'll Always Play. Shooting is now a game with Amer- icans. Many have plaved it in the past, millions more will play in the fu- ture. Shooting hereafter will be taken up with just as much vim as football, baseball, golf, and our other favorite pastimes, Our soldiers and aviators have been taught to shoot with the shotguns in the cantonments and fly- ing schools and no man passed a suc- cessful examination as an aviat@ who could not break flying targets with a shotgun. The shotgun {6 the boy of the future will be what the lariat is to the cowboy of today. One thing we will have to remember is that a great many men in returning from the battlefields will' never agaia return to office routine.

The Swiss think highly of their army as the following conversation between the former emperor of Germany and a Swiss general indicates. Shortly after the war began the kaiser that was at- tending a shooting carnivil at Berne, ‘Wilhelm plied the Swiss general with questions, such as: “How many man could your country put on the field in a week?” said the all highest that was. “About 500,000,” answered the Swiss general. “What would you do if I came against yca with 1,000,000 men?’ said ‘Wilhelm. to_shoot twice.” We have the same feeling about Americans now. There was a feeling when the United States went into the war that we were unprepared, that we could not shoot any better than the first British army that Lord Kitchgner saw im action. Kitchener's cable to England to teach the men to shoot first and drill afterwards is history. But this assertion bears out one that has been repeatedly made-—that mors battles are won by zood shooting than any other way. ‘We were not unprepared.
