TRANSPORTING MY HOBBY
~ JOHN PHILIP sOUsA

Heaven pity the poor mortal who has
not a hobby! In the wisdom of things
every man should have an active, muscle
building, fat destroying, lung developing
hobby. 1t should be his hobby alone and
throw a leg across" And so we come
to my hobby-trapshoot Trapshooting
largely an American SPORTS now about
so years old. While it obtains in other
countries. 1t has reached its present dig
nifty through the efforts of the American
shooters. 1t took the place of live bird
shooting which. as a sport appealed
but to the few and was condemned by the
many.
The sport is clean, manly and gives
even the tinid self reliance.
The necessary adjuncts. apart from the
men, their guns and ammunitions are: A
fair sized field with a good background
one or more traps to throw the targets;
the targets, small saucer shaped Objects
trap houses or screen to protect the trap
boys from injury, referees scorers and
trap pullers.
The word pull spoken by the shooter
is a command to the trapshooter to re-
lease the target and at the same time
II is a declaration to the contestant that
he Is in the game and must abide by
the result of his shot, whether hit or
miss. the scororer to make a true record
of that result.
The question Is OF en- asked "How can
one become a good shot?' II it were
keenness of vision or physique alone,
many who cannot lit a FLOCK of barn
doors would be t,p notchers. Expe-
ricnce teaches us that it requires some
thing beyond mere vision and Drawn to
make the invincible shot. Let us call 1t
faculty Phrenolo gists define faculty
as "a command of nature having for it's
object special impulse, or inclination
a talent, an aptitude. mental gift" The
shooting faculty, in Its highest develop
ment, must therefore be a combination of
intellectual facilities and certain physical
traits. We call it tho shooting eye, but
in reality it means the faculty to COM
bine location. time and concentrativeness
and energy. One may have a dozen
eyes, but unless one employ these intel
lectual and physical faculties until they
answer almost instinctively. one will not
be great shooter. The young shooter,
while developing these faculties, should
pay attention TO the velocity of his Wis
ion, the constituencies of his trigger
finger and the pliability of his left arm.
Age has nothing to do with the expert
ness in trapshooting, for the beardless
youth and the grizzly septaugenarian

SCHMIDT HAS
NEW LINEUP

Owing to the suspension of Calhoun,
Manager Schmidt was forced to change
his lineup. Hub Northen went to first
base, Cowan to right field and Dobard
to short. The batting order was also
changed. For the Barons the suspension
OF Cecil Coombs did not effect any change
In the lineup as Dannie Clark played at
the keystone sack.
In the first although the Barons made
two errors and Gulls secured hit, they
were unable to score. In the second in
ming the Gulls again took liberties with
Omar Hardgrove's delivery, but were kept
from the plate by sensational support. In
the third, however, the Gulls attempted
TO undress the veteran Baron hurler by
driving the ball right at him with force.
Dobard opened up the third stanza by
grounding out. Miller then singled to CEN
ter. Northen and Breitenstein then got
into an argument and the Gulls first
sacker was SO peeved that he slammed
one of Hardgrove's pet curves to the right
field fence for two bags. Miller by speedy
base running scored and Northen reached
third on the relay. Perry hit a Texas
