Berger threw TO second to catch Dundon,
and Hargrove made a break for home.

was won. for Newark went out in an
easy fashion. In the absence of the UNI

THE SPRINGFIELD RIFLE.
General FIngIer Says 1t IL One of
the Best Arms I'm the World.
(WashingtOn Star.

General F1sgler, chief of the Ordnance
Bureau of the army, is quoted In a recent
interview in regard to the merits Of the
arms furnished the troops. He says:
zone remark I would like to make in
regard TO charges recently published to
the effect that the government is supply
ing the troops with an obsolete and
worthless arm-nameE, the Springfield
rife. Nothing could be more untrue, and
statements Of the kind are sincerely 10 be
deplored. inasmuch as they are calculated
to demoralize our soldiers.
1.-The Springfield rife is one OF the best
guns In the world, and I know OF no arm
which 1 would so willingly put into the
hands Of new troops. 1t is a very effec-
tive weapon, and so simple In its me-
chanism that II can hardly be put out OF
order.
Some years ago an army board. after
most painstaking consideration of the
subject, adopted for the use OF the regu-
lar army the Krag-Jorgenson, which
believe to be the best military magazine
rifle in existence.
ut is better than the Springfield, being
capable Of more rapid fire. and having
fiatter trajectory, so that what we call
the danger space is increased. Bur, like
all up-to-date magazine rifles, It is ex-
ceedingly complicated, and a soldier needs
six months at least to learn how to use
IL. IL gets out of order as easily as a
watch, and tho utmost care is required
to keep II in condition for use.
II do not hesitate to assert that the effi-
cheney OF our regiments would have been
reduced 80 per cent. by placing such guns
in the hands of the soldiers. Even to-day
the soldiers of the regular army prefer
the Springfield, calibre AZ. to the Krag-
Jorgenson.
long familiar with affairs in Cuba, told
me that the Spanish Government. through
some official jobbery. had furnished de-
fective rifles to it's troops in Cuba, so that
actually oae-half OF them would not
shoot.
Now, the fact Is that the spaniards In
Cuba use the Mauser rife exclusively, and
guns of that pattern are made at only one
factory In the world, In Germany. That
never sends out a rifle that is not
first rate. every part being subjected TO
severe tests.
But the rifles in the hands OF tho SOL
diers in Cuba had evidently got out OF
order. owing to their complicated mechan-
ism. so that a large percentage OF them
were rendered unavailable for service.
Hence. II will be obvious why we have
preferred to arm our men With SDrtng-
fields"
