The return OF the first duck hunters
from the far end of Long Island bids
fair TO mark the passing of Swat MILL

The friends of Laughingyet Wingate. 4
well-known shot. are congratulating him
for having pulled the first good one Of
the season.
According to Wingate-and he swears
TO 1.-THE made the best shot In the an
nuals of Long Island on Thursday last
Wingate and friend were being rowed
TO the duck shooting grounds by a guide.
From his seat in the skin Wingate spied
a hawk overhead. and the guide advised
him TO try a shot.
II slipped a shell of No. ! shot In my
right barrel" says Wingate. and kept
a load OF No. in the left. go, a good
bead on the hawk and fred the riEht
barrel. The shot went true and he was
knocked stiff. AS the hawk began To
fall he gasped, and his beak flew open.
Up to this time we had noted nothing
wrong about the hawk, but as he opened
his mouth a sparrow flew out. before
the little bird had gone ten feet I nailed
him with the other barrel, and both
hawk and sparrow fell dead In the
boat"
The right hand of fellowship IL ex.

II the Brighton Beach race track is to
be cut up into building lots the corner
where in the old days was located the
mutuel pools will be occupied by a
church. This was announced yesterday
at the offices of the Somervtlle Realty
Company. 1t was said there that
Charles C. Overton. one of the Oldest
residents of Coney Island. had obtained
tentative option on the five lots EN-
braced in the old pool grounds" and on
them would erect a free church.
When finished he will offer 1t to the
denomination, which. IL his judgment,
has done most good for Long Island
He now owns a church at Neptune ave-
nue. and Henry street, and may move
1t to the new plot.
The pool grounds" are famous in
Brighton's history. though for fourteen
years they have not been used for the
purposes for which they were intended

else. They should be taught to control
themselves. for the fever Of competi-
ton is what costs them sleepless nights
and. in many instances. the races in
which they are entered.
! would advise youngsters to start on
with light gymnasium exercise In a we'll
ventilated room. This will give them
strength. with elasticity of muscle, and
help prepare them for the more strenu-
Gus competition on track and field when
they grow older.
II they want outdoor work on track
and field l would advise them to take
things gradually. Putting a light shot
is very beneficial. and they should use
II first with one arm and then the other.
IN jumping they should not try for
high marks. In both high and broad
Jumping they should learn TO cultivate
a natural spring. as hard pressure on
the feet after jump is apt to lower the
arch. They mus not do too much
jumping at one time.
In running avoid racing. The first
principle is TO know how to run smooth
ly, picking the feet up quickly from the
| ground, and refrain from trying the
| long stride. Allow the arms to swing
| freely so as to prevent tying up. GET
the movement of the arms from the &C.
ton of the legs.
Things to be avoided-tobacco and
liquors in every form; pastry and al
foods that are spiced. picked oil
corned.

Many New York Regu-
lars on Hand.

"Old Pimlico," one OF the most noted
race tracks in the country. throws open
its gates to-day. The race meeting at
the old Baltimore course promises TO De
the banner one in its history. What has
been New York's loss in a racing way
has been Maryland's gain, and rec

help make the attendance memorable

Turfmen from all parts OF the coun-
try are arriving with eve-v train. TIE

Other Stars Will Journey West I

things come right he will remain here
for several months.
The proposed trip to Cuba has been
abandoned and that will lead many Of
the players to change their plans.
Fred Tenney has already gone to his
homo, In Winthrop, Mass, for the win
ter. He will spend al his spare time In
making water color paintings. That is
his hobby, and his work is said to be
tirst-class.
Larry Doyle is still in town. out he
will leave in a few days for Iowa, where
he intends to do some shooting Of small
game.
Joe McGinnity IL now in South Nc
Allister, I. T.. where he owns and OPP
crates an iron foundry and molding
shop. Joe Is one of the wealthiest ball
players of the lot. and he can afford
to give UP the diamond II he SO desires.
Wlltse lie a Merchant.
George Wiltse will spend the winter in
Syracuse, where he and his brothers are
interested in furniture store.
Al Isridwell will leave in a few days
for his home In Ohio. He Is also fond
Of shooting.
The greatest hunter Of them all Is
Luther Taylor. the deaf-mute pitcher.
Taylor lives at Baldwin. Kan. and
practically all Of his winter is spent in
hunting behind pair OF bird dogs.
Mccormick is an engineer and min
eral expert. He will work at his pro-
fession In Chicago.
Seymour proposes to spend his winter
travelling around. He lives in upper
New York State, but ne will probably
go to some winter serot IN the South
west.

work a Hex unless he feels like it. He
has gone to his home in Wooster, o.,
and will remain there until he gets the
call in the spring.

victories when other men had gone wap-

seouently, the average fan Will award

Excellent Record.
Mathewsons record for the season Is
an excellent one. He passed only FORTY
two men, going into two stretches OF
four games each without single base
on balls. He hit three basemen and
made three wild pitches. Walsh was
not quite 30 effective, his record show
ing fifty-thrse bases on balls twelve hit
batsmen and thirteen wild pitches. In
strike outs the two stars are tied at 25S.
Hits off Mathewson numbered 2T. or
5.O4 per game on an average; off Walsh,
$685. an average OF $40 per game.
Mathewson pitched one one-hit, two
three hit, eleven four-hit and three five
hit games: Walsh pitched five three-hit,
five four-hit and seven five-hit games.

One OF the oddities of the dope" book
is that the entire record of one anbi-
