Nebraska Man is
a Wonder Shooter

He inyents the most difficult shots
possible to imagine, then takes all
the chances in the world land he in
varlably makes good Thus dnes
prominent sporting writer explain
the success Of a trick shot that has
come to Rush Race OF Curtis, Nebras-
ka.
Throwing up five clay targets fhim-
self and breaking them ali with a
pump gun before they strike the
ground, hitting small objects iii the
air with rifle or revolver and accom-
plishing most elaborate shots by mir
ror sighting are among the achieve
ments that have earned for Race
the title of Worlds Champion Fancy
Shooter. The average shooter might
with practice make some of Races
shots, but when he delved into the
card4EpHtting and mirror.sighting Geld
and tried shots with the sights coy
erred with cardboard the almost nn-5
canniness of Races work would be
realized.
Not only does good craftsmanship
enter into fancy shooting but Skill
and qEickness in gun handling are
essentials as well. A doubly trained
eye is required in the obscured- sight
shots; one Of these consists in taking
ia smaI rectangular section OF card
board and placing 1t at the end of tfreI
barrel Of .22 calibre repeating rifle,
SO that it cuts off, the vision of the
sighting eye and then hitting small
marbles, washers and targets thrown
in the air. Not only is he able to
hit one but makes doubles on these
;dimimltiVe objects.
Race, who has been shooting for
several years, is at home with almost
any size or kind OF pistol. revolver,
sslot gun or rifle. One of his double
target shots is made with IA calibre
regolyers, placing two targets about
25 feet away and 20 feet apart, he
hits them both at the same time. Diff
ficuIty is added to this doubleshotl
work by sighting one OF the guns by
means of a mirror, the other remain
ing inverted The difficulty and awk-
wardness Of attempting to do such
feats by use of a mirror may be DEM
onstrated to anyone who will stand
before d looking glass and attempt to
touch a certain button on his vest or
! certain spot on his clothing, guidingl.
his hand solely by his image as SEEM.
n the mirror.
What Race states is the most diff
icut mirror shot is sighting two re
divers at one mirror, one gun up
'ide down. and hitting two targets atI
he same time. Mirrors, also, areli
lsed in doubles and triples; in the
after shot one mirror is under his

The jamestown soldiers have been
playing great ball this season, having
defeated the fast Co, G. team Of
Valley City three straight games.
Coach Kirk, of the local company
team, has been putting the boys
through some hard practice and there
are many noticeable improvements in
their playing since he took ahOld or
the team. The lineup has been
changed somewhat and the locals will
make the best showing they have so
far this year. They have a number Of
return games to play before the sea-
on ends and the contest Monday
will be the last opportunity to see
them in action on the local floor.
Those who will play tomorrow night
will be picked from the following: p.
Houser, NJ. Houser, Quilting, Prizes

Following the game the local play

one of those popular social dances,
music for which will be furnihed by

OVERLAND CAR LEADS.

The men who lead in all professions
whether they be doctors, lawyers,
engineers or soldiers, are those who
have concentrated on a certain line
Of study. 1t stands to reason chat the
man who decides on his career will,
by close application and conccntra-
ton, Guido 1Ae man who is interested
in several things at once.
According to John N. WHY'S, presi-
dent Of the Willys-Oyerland company,
this same principle holds good in the
manufacturing of automobiles. A
plant can operate more economically
and efficiently by concentrating it's
entire manufacturing facilities on the
parts Of a. single model, for it thus
.simplifies the work in every depart
ment. It means that hundreds of big
machines ran be set to certain dimen-
sions without having to be changed
from one day to another. 1t means
that the manufacturer upon a definite
number Of cars coming through on
schedule time. The mechanics them
selves become more expert and. skill
ed through handling the same parts
day after day and the whole organi-
cation runs smoothly because there
is nothing to cut in on the regular
duties of each man.
The Willys-Overland company will
produce $4,000 car this year of a
single model. This new car is de.
signed along the lines of the 1913
model except that the chassis has
been changed to allow for a more
powerful motor and longer wheel
base. The body. has been impryed
with a full cowl dash, flush U doors

When "a doctor endorses a prepare.

Frenchman Tonight.

~ Local fans get their first
chance tonight In over year
to see Joe Mandot in action. Joe is
scheduled to meet Frank Whitney,
the Fighting Carpenter" in a sched-

know just how good Frank is after
his battle with Mandot.
Whitney has been working here the
past few days, and has shown great
form in his workouts. The Cedar
Rapids boy has met the best fighters
in the game, and should give Man
dot the toughest sort of a battle
Frank has met such boys as Freddie
Welsh, Charlie White, Battling Nell
son and Grover Hayes. He also holds
victories over Frank Russell and Joe
Thomas.
Mandot is also in great shape, and
VIII have no excuse to offer if defeat
ed. Mandot looks better at the pres
ent time than he has in some time
and should give a good account OF
himself. If Mandot is successful in
his scrap against Whitney. he will
meet either Freddie Welsh or Al
Wolgast here some time next month.

MOT openly, but under the
" surface, there is move
ment on foot to drive
Charles Webb Murphy, baseballa
trouble maker, from the national
game.
Murphy declares he is in base
ball until the last gun fires and
will not be driven out. He says
he is for Charles Webb Murphy
first, the Chicago National
League club second, and as far
as the National League Is con-
cerned he doesn't care what hap
pens to 1t one way or the other.
M URPHY is known as the
ANA shoe string millionaire. He
entered baseball a few years ago
on borrowed money and made a
fortune out of It, Ever since he
became owner Of the Chicago
National League team he has
been a trouble maker, a dis
cordant note in baseball harmony
and In his own town, Chicago.
he has disguised the baseball
public with the way he does busi-
Hess. his treatment OF FRANK
Chance and Mordecai Brown and
the recent firing of Johnny Evers
are instances
But how can Murphy be driven
from baseball?
You can not take his club away
from him. He owns So per cent
of the clubs stock, and If he
won't sell. there's no way to
force him to sell.
g EvERAL years ago the sched-
~ ule makers of the two big
leagues handed Murphy a jolt
that sobered him up for quite
awhile. They framed the sched-
ules so that there was some
thing like twelve conflicting

The distances show that there are
two short iron shot holes going out
and two coming in--the regulation
number.
varying mashie distances and the
second nine short holes are the long
iron lengths. This Is a good distri-
button OF the little short holes that
add so much to the character of a
course. There is also a 22b-yarder,
which ordinarily means that a play
er can get home If he hits 1t. This
one sees five three with good chance
at many more on the two-shot holes.
7 AM glad TO see that there are FIVE
1 crook holes. To my mind the
crook hole is particularly testing and
rewarding
There are two routes to the six
teenth hole, which reminds me in a
way of one at Old Elm. One road to
the hole Is g. two shelter and danger
GUS, and the other a three and safe.
As / understand it the two shot way
requires two Icing shots, possibly very
long and testing carries. This hole so
near the end would mean much to a
match drawing to a close.
The second nine is the longer and
harder OF the course. There are two
long holes on the second nine and one
on the first
The longest hole is 500 yards. rather
q fnonotanous length on some courses,
Looking at it on paper ! would call
the second hole one of the best on the
course. l particularly like the dis
lance and the location OF the green,
which lies lust over a bend of the
creek, giving good second short car
~ on a 435-yard hole
Taken all in all, the course looks
like an excellent one, and what is
more, a modern test of the game.
