BASEBALL HINES

DO BETTER.

There has been much speculation re-
garding Mr.. Hines, who some time ago
made his first appearance with the Ath-
letics.
As every one knows, his initial attempt
on this coast was a most dismal failure,
yet every one does not seem to know that
Mr.. Hines, up to the moment he entered
the box in that memorable smuggling
match, had not touched ball in over SIX
weeks, and was, therefore, necessarily in
capacitated from such really hard labor.
Those who have never played ball ex-
tensively cannot conceive how difficult it
is for a player, especially a pitcher, to
throw ball at all after remaining out of
what pitchers have to do in the National
League preparatory to entering the league
race. Why, it takes some of them until

HOW TO DISCOVER A
CHAMPION MARKSMAN

within the next few days 1t is likely
that a rifle match somewhat novel will
be arranged for the marksmen or this To-
cality. 1t Is what is known as an 1nd1-
vidual championship match. In the East
such contests have proved to be very
popular, and every year sees such an
event in each of the big centers, such
as Cincinnati, Milwaukee and New YORK.
In these places the proprietor of one
of the several ranges offers some KIND
OF a trophy for the marksmen to shoot
for, usually 100 shots. single entry. Inc
match Is held on the range of the one
making the best offer, the donor of the
prize being reimbursed for his outlay by
the business done at the refreshment
stand on the grounds.
When D. w Mclaughlin was in the
East he observed the benefits of these
contests and 1t is he who suggested that
something Of the kind be gwen ans mere in
the course of q few days number
of rifemen will hold meeting to, ar
range for one here: Mclaughlin Is OF the
opinion that Thanksgiving day would be
The benefits can be readily understood
by those familiar with the rifle history
OF this State. The country is alive with
so-called champions of rifle shooting. In
every shooting organization two or more
have the good success of defeating the
other members of the club and win med
ais on which the word champion is
inscribed Ninety-nine out of hundred
are not entitled to the title. The so-called
Champions Of some Of the clubs are only
first-class men in other clubs The good
to be derived from such match as con-
tempiated is that 100 shots would deter
mine who is the champion. and If many
who are now wearing champion medals
decline to enter into such competition
then they will be obliged to narrow their
claims down to being only high men in
their respective organizations. Another
benefit would be that 1t would bring to-
gether in a match men who do not often
compete with each other under test con-

LEXINGTON, Jan. 23.-The condition of tho
~trotters quartered at the Lexington track is
good for this season OF the year. There have

season than for several years back.

breeders in the country will soon go into retro
