Sportsmen of the city are considerably
interested in a movement. recently started
by members of the St Louis Long-Range
Sharpshooting Association, to inaugurate
general target practice throughout the coun-
try under Government auspices and under
Government instruction. President c. Il.
Smith of the organization has taken the
matter up and is now arousing interest in
the movement.

Charles Dexter, the broker, recently COM
municated with the Ordnance Department
of the United States setting forth the views
of the association on the subject AID asking
for comment by officers of the department.
He briefly outlined the plans of the local
association, which provided for the appoint
nent of army officers at the various posts
throughout the country as teachers of
craftsmanship for certain days in each
week; for the furnishing of suitable arms
and for the supplying of ammunition by the
Government, these arms and the ammuni-

by special appropriations: that modern arms;
as fast as available. were being supplied
TO the troops and that none would be on
hand for some time for use in target prac-
tice; and lastly. that the Inauguration of
ranges throughout the country, except at
points controlled by the Government, would
be apt to result in cc.dents on account or
the long range of modern weapons
He ended by stating that this last feature
would have to be considered seriously, as
ranges would have to be constructed for
those desiring practice. Ranges would nave
to go to tire citizens. he said, instead of cit

While agreeing with some of the points
set forth by Captain Jaynes, Mr.. Smith
and his fellow-marksmen in the club be-
lieve that the scheme of target practice
under Government auspices is perfectly
practicable and that 1t could be carried
through successfully. The value to the
country. they say, would be immense.

With Jim Corbett and Jim Jeffries
matched and with Young Corbett due to
mix with Terry McGcvern the latter part
OF this month. affairs In the prize ring are
furnishing some topics for devotees of the
sport to discuss. Probably greater inter-
est is aroused just at present in the Cor

test
This fact is due to the extreme uncertain
ty of the outcome. in the minds of most
persons. The average follower of the game
ia inclined to believe that this will be a

outs up their sleeves and this property is
going to play an important part in the bat
tie.

Billy Maynard has turned many followers

believe that Terry has proved conclusively

One significant point in this matter. how
ever Is the fact that Young MAYNARD sta
ted that Corbett was the hardest man of the
pair to battle: that Young Corbett's blows
hurt him most; that Corbett was just as
persistent fighter as McGovern, and that
a blow which seemed to stagger Terry had
no effect on the feather-weight champion.
1t will be recalled that McGovern had all
the better of his fight with Maynard, save
al one period. when the latter shook him
UP with punch on the mouth. This same
punch, according to Billy, was landed time

with being an excellent all-around man.
Lawrence will be his companion in the
hurdles. Smith VIII be represented in the
broad jump and pole vault by Lambert and
MDrcum. The latter holds a record of is
feet inches in the first event. The high
jump has created quite a stir among the
boys, and three men-Lawrence. Leland

Smith will miss the services of Moll who
left the academy two months ago. Mol

all in all. the Smith boys should carry off
their share of the laurels. They have the
grit and spirit which has been prominent
