We're going to pull that very stunt,

NEW TORK, July 28. Tha com

annual grand American handican as
announced by the Interstate Trap
Bhootlng association forecasts ona of
the best tournaments ever staged by
that organization. The Ave day shoot
will be held at Chicago under tha
auspices of the South Side Country

money, tournament will open on
Monday, August 20, with the South
Shore Introductory; Tuesday will wit

In the Chicago overture; the national
amateur championships at single and
double targets. On August 22, there
will be a preliminary handicap while,
the grand American will be shot the

Tha winners and runners-up in the
Individual state championships alone
will be eligible to shoot In the na?
tional amateur championships while
any amateur can enter the grand
American handicap which calls for
one hundred targets at unknown
angles to be shot from the 16 to the
23 yard according to handican. En
tries will close on August 4 this sea.
on which la a week earlier than
usual.
Tha first grand American handi
cap was shot at Interstate Park, N.
T., In 1900 and there were seventy-
four entries. The popularity of the
event drew rapidly and each succeed

trants, the record being held by Chi

Word has been ecelved at tha na

California. Larsen several weeks ago
cleared the bar with the pegs regls

made In an exhibition however, and

Richards carried larsen along to
S feet, 1 inches where he was forced
to retire with a sprained ankle. Lar
sen then cleared the bar two inches
higher and had It placed at 6 feet,
8 Inches at which point he failed In
three attempts. He had no diffl
culty In winning the broad jump with
a leap of over twenty feet, however,
and his admirers predict that he will

We're stepping that way right now.
But if Booze Is beaten beforehand,

Then there are the grub grabbers to

There are the children to look af

It will be glorious going In this

and making true democracy safe in
our hands.
'
you just pull back on the trigger to
cock It?
Ans. The best revolver shots all
use the single action because it gives
greater accuracy and I wouldTecom
mend this method especially as with
practice you will find that yo' can
cock tha hammer with the thumb very
rapidly.

How can I tell If my rifle Is metal
fouled?
Ans. One way Is to use a barrel
gauge which Just fits the barrel when
it Is perfectly clean, if after clean
ing the bore as well as you can, you
find that the gauge will not fit In,
you may be sure that there Is metal
fouling present. Another way is to
wipe the barrel out with a rag soaked
with strong ammonia. If It comes
out a deep blue In color you should
continue wiping ft with ammonia un
til me Diue color disappears.

1. The stock on my shotgun seems
to be too straight Will It do any
harm to shave down the comb a lit
tle so that my cheek will go down a
little further when I throw the gun
to my shoulder?
Ans. You have hit on the right way
to remedy your trouble. Be very
careful to take off only a little wood
at a time and try the gun to your
shoulder frequently so as to ba sure
not to take off too much. When you
have cut the stock, to suit you the
best method of refinishlng Is to sand
paper the whole stock clean of varnish
and then rub linseed oil Into It
2. Is too much,.oil in the action of
a double barrel shotgun bad tor It?
Will it gum up and make It work
hard?
Ans. If you use the right kind of
oil you will have no trouble from
gumming. If you have had trouble
of this kind In the past it fs a sure
sign that you are using poor oil.

BASEBALL GOSSIP
ROMANCE OP A RIFLE BARREL,
The making of a rifle calls for man
ufacturing skill In a very wide variety
of mechanical operations. Few
sportsmen realize how many differ
ent kinds of machines must -be used
In the production of the rifle that
often seems so very simple.
Rifle manufacture differs from the
manufacture of other articles made
from steel in at least two Important
particulars. For one thing, accuracy
of a very high order Is necessary in
firearms and this means that every
operation from beginning to end
must be carefully watched to prevent
any defective part getting into the
complete arm and causing trouble1
for the hunter when he is far from
a gunsmith. The other particular
that sets, rifle making apart from any
otner trade is tne tact tnat it mcruaes
the art of barrel making. This art
is so peculiar to the manufacture of
firearms that tha machinery used can
not be appUed to work on anything
else.
Tou as a sportsman , may have
looked through tha smoothly-shin
ing bore of your new rifle and won
dered to yourself Just how the makers
had succeeded in getting it so straight
and true and how they cut those won
derful spiral grooves.
The secret of perfection in the
making of a rifle barrel Is unending
care, from the selection of the raw
material to the, last inspection,
Without it no amount of costly ma
terial would be able to turn out tha
right kind of work.
The rough bar of steel from which
the finished barrel is finally -evolved.
Is rolled while red hot from a short
thick billet This is done by means
of ponderous rollers Into which a
number of grooves of gradually di
mlnlshlng size hava been cut Tha
embryo barrel is then treated to re
move the rough scale left by rolling
and powerrul lathes turn it to the
proper shape. Drilling is the next
operation and you can realise what a
delicate job It is to run a drill through
such a long piece of steel without hav
ing it go astray and come out at tha
side instead of the end. The drills ara.
of Course, of special shape, and a
funny thing about this operation is
that tha drill stands still and the bar
rel is -rotated at high speed. Ream
ins; operations foUow to remove the
St Louis athletic authorities to hold
tha A. A. U. championships games
as originally scheduled, a plan has
been suggested for tha holding of ona
or two try-out -meets in tha east for
the purpose of . selecting a team to
represent that section.
drill marks and then the barrel Is
straightened.
In spite of all the efforts of skilled
engineers who have been working on
the problem straightening a barrel
is strictly hand work, for no machine
has ever been made which could take
the place of the man with the ham
mer and V block anvil. Tou are
probably wondering how tha man
who straightens barrels tells when
they are crooked or where to hit
with the hammer to take out the
kink. It is very simple when you
know as the instruction books say.
All you hava to do is to look through
the barrel at a black line painted
across a window and watch the , re
flection as the barrel Is turned by
hand. It may be simple but the fact
remains that very few men ever learn
how to do it and the ones who can
are exceedingly well paid.
After the barrel Is straightened. It
Is sent to the rifling machines. These
macnines wnicn by the way are
shockingly expensive, are so made
that they run a long bar with a tooth
with a sharp edge on it back and
forth through the barrel and rotate
It at the same time so that It grad
ually cuts the grooves that cause the
bullet to spin and ravel point first,
This operation and the machines that
carry it out are used only in rifle
making and they are absolutely
worthless for any other purpose.
It seems hard to believe a fine rifle
barrel which almost appears to be a
a thing of life was once but a clumsy
oar of rusty iron and the owner of
every fine rifle should prize it highly
as a wonaeriui example or manufac
turing skill.

1. Please tell ma what those .22
caliber shot cartridges that I find
listed in the Cartridge catalogues
are lor. wnat Kind of game can you
hunt with them and what is their
range?
Ans. The .22 caliber cartridges
loaaea witn snot are mainly used by
collectors who are getting specimens
tor tne museums. About seven yards
Is the limit of their effective range
and then only for very small birds
and animals. The advantage in us
ing them is of coarse that they do
not damage the skin of the animal.
Ton will notice that some of the
arms companies list single shot rifles
made with smooth bores. Shot cart
ridges used in an ordinary rifle are
very likely to cause leading and a
brass bristle brush should be used for
cleaning.

ver single action or double action?

Magee is hitting better than' he did
while pastimtng with the Tankees.
Duffy Lewis of the Red Sox. who
Is usually there with a healthy wallop,
has been suffering a bad batting
slump of late.
"Big Ed" Walsh, former White Sox
star, believes his pitching arm is
still strong enough for him to take
hU turn on the firing line for .the
Braves.
George Twombley, formerly with
the Braves, has Joined the Providence

Les Mann, the Cubs gardener,

Probably few people realize that
Wahoo Sam Crawford Is on the verge
of one of the great batting records
of all time. Close to his 3000th hit Is
Sam, and close to the realization of
a life time ambition, as he explains
In the August Baseball Magazine. We
quote from Sam's article:
Xne July afternoon many years
ago some player on the bench hap
pened to mention Pop Anson and his
remarkable record. The fact was
brought out that the famous old slug
ger was the only player who had ever
made three thousand hits. It seemed
a staggering total. I was fairly
swamped by it. But then and there
the Idea crystallzed In my mind that
some day in the far off future I, too.
would like to register my three thou
sandth hit
I will not say that I deliberately set
about to accomplish that seemingly
impossible feat. It would have been
foolish to make any such mental res
ervation In a game so uncertain as
baseball. iBut I will admit that it has
been my chief ambition for a good
many years to make threw thousand
hits. And as the passing of each sea
son has brought me nearer the goal I
have thought more and more upon
that particular afternoon to come
when I would meet the fall fairly and
rap out a good clean drive for a com
plete score of thirty hundred safeties.
Since that visionary Idea came to
me so far back that I can hardly re
member It clearly two players have
passed Anson's great mark. One of
them, Hans Wagner, Is tottering on
the verge of his final season in the
big show. The other, Nap Lajoie. one
of the greatest batters who ever lived
has hung up a record which few can
ever possible equal and -isscd on to
the minor leagues. And with Ms go
ing I And myself the oldest player In
point of service in the American
league, the oldest nlayer, with the
exception of Hans Wagner, in the
major leagues.
And how about that little ambition
of mine which Blurted many years
ago. It is an unpleasant experience
to think about that ambition now as
I stand on the very verge and can
not see the certainty of Its realiza
tion. It is all the more unpleasant
because I have come so near it and
because I feel within myself the abil
ity to realize it.
When I completed by seventeenth
season in the big leagues I counted
up and found that according to the
records I had made 2,889 hits. I
needed 131 more to realize my am
bition. And I won't deny that as I
looked at those figures I counted that
record as good as won.
I was in excellent condition, had
Just played a full score of 156 games
and was confident that several more
good seasons lay before me, Bnt If
my plans should not materialise it
required but one to rain my three
thousand hits.
Boar in mind that I needed bnt ltl
hits. And for fifteen straight years I
had not failed to make mora than
that number of hits a season. The
season before I had registered 182 and
for more than ten years I had aver
aged at least 188. Surely It was a
rather simple matter for me t4 rap
out 111 safe wallops in what need be
only a fair season.
So it seemed in the winter of 111!
and 1916. But tha spring brought a
different story. They told ma I had
slowed up, that I would hava t be
gin to take my turn on the bench,
that I must relinquish right field at
least part of the time to a younger
man. Now I have always known that
I would grow old sometime. I hava
always been prepared to meet the day
when' It arrived and I flatter myself
with as good grace as tha next man.
But I wasn't ready to say goodbye In

think, without exaggeration, I can
cover a fair amount of ground and
stop most of the balls that come my
way In right field. And I am confi
dent I can hit nearly as well as I
ever rould.
1 began this season with exEKly 89
hits to go. Now there was si time
when I could have made 39 hi Is In a
single month of healthy swatting. The
only thing that trouble me now is
whether or not I shall make those 89
hits in an entire season. At my pres
ent rate I should say It was doubt
ful, but perhaps things will breek
a little better before the year is over.
On most accounts I have no cause
to complain. Baseball has been good
to me and I appreciate the fact
Neither have I any criticism of the
management of our club. The man
agement Is after results .and if those
results can be better obtained by hav
ing someone In my shoes, why the
management would be foolish not to
follow that plan. I am not criticising
anybody nor anything accept the un
usual succession of events which have I
brought me so near the roiHzatlon of
my dreams and then threatened! to
leave me just short of Its attainment.
For I am not through, I will not ad
mit that I am through. I can still
hit that old baseball. I can still play
the game up to major league stand
ard. I can stilt go those three thou
sand hits If only I have the chance.
