scheme has been to increase the interest IN rife
shooting In athletic clubs throughout the coun-
try. he ID the enthusiastic chairman Of the
/ {. A &. ride and trap committee and himself q
very hne shot. He 10 preparing q circular
which be will send 10 all clubs in the A. A. u.
inviting their cooperation, requesting sugees-
tons as TO best plan Of organization, as to
/ the use OF various sights, as to distances
and As to number Of men on tsams and 10 on.
/ Heretofore athletic clubs have paid very little
attention TO rife shooting as il IL not one of
the sports adopted by the A. A. U, but efforts
vii be made TO add il to the list OF sports rec
ogrixed by it. The doctor suggests that local
/ teams everywhere who think favorably of the
plan and have an organization take the mat
Ter mp. and that at q certain time they have
! their local shooting matches. and the winner in
each city or section be the one to represent il
at the grand shoot for the championship Of the
/ A. A. y. II IL adopts recognises it. The plan
seems . very practicable one.
