Scotland may boast of it's golf. Eng
land may pride itself upon having
given polo and cricket to the world.
To France may be attributed the
pleasing sport of tennis. But-trap-
shooting is inherently American And
it is the most characteristic of Amer
lean sports, for it satisfies the purely
American desire for the use of fire
arms. Incidentally, its rapid rise into
the continued popularity is indicative
of the hold this sport has taken upon
its enthusiasts.
The year 1913 was conceded by all
authorities Jas having marked the
greatest advance in the history of
trapshooting. By actual count $50 new
guh clubs were organized. Many
new leagues and trapshooting asso-
Citations were formed and thousands
of new shooters became devotees of
the greatest individual outdoor sport
in the world.
The consensus of opinion seemed to
be that, owing to disturbed and unset
tied industrial conditions and other
causes, 1914 would fall far behind 1913
in the number of new clubs; but such
was not the case. In fact, 1914 proved
the biggest and best year that the
sport has ever eXperienced-not alone
in the number of new clubs that were
organized, bat in the general advance
ment and betterment of the sport in
general.
There are now nearly 1000 active
trapshooting clubs in the United
States and Canada and one interest ting
phase of trapshOoting which indicates
more clearly than anything else the
increased popularity of the sport is
the great many clubs that have re-
ported increased membership. Not so
long ago the average membership of
the various gun clubs throughout the
country was approximately 25. Now
it can be safely said that the average
is close to 40; in some cases there are
clubs whose membership total runs to
two and three hundred and even high
er.
Already for the year of 1915 there
are the best of indications that trap
shooting will greatly increase in pop
ularity. Ghe all-arOunI SeasOnable-
ness of the sport has enabled many OF
its enthusiasts to continue shooting al
the traps throughout the winter
months. and now, with the coming OF
spring and the warmer weather. il
is only logical to assume that this
truly American recreation will be Civ
en- an added stimulus.

scription, no matter how faithful
pales in comparison with active, act
ual participation in the pastime. Mere
words cannot depict the pride of the
marksman who has come through
with clean score.
To the uninitiated, trapshooting
may look easy. The flight of a clay
pigeon may seem tame. The ability
to pulverize the apparently easy-going
target may appear a very simple mat
ter. But such is not the case. And
to the individual who believes this
way, a trial at trapshooting is the
most convincing of proof.
Appearances are deceiving and very
.aptly does this apply to the clay pig,

turns that these flying saucers some
times take are most disconcerting to
even the best of marksmen. They up
set all calculations. And, as one old
enthusiast says, Just when you think
you've got them you amt" Perhaps
one of the greatest features about the
sport is its real uncertainty. You are
never sure of your target until the
clay is officially scored as dead. y
And each succeeding spring of the
trap is a brand new challenge to your
skill. If you are inclined to be at all
skeptical on the topic, just give trap
shooting a trial

ERNEST GAY IS

PUNAHOU TEAM

Especial Star-Bulletin Correspondence
PUNAHoU, April 13.-Ernest Gay
has been elected captain of the first
baseball team, of Punahou for the
coming season. There has been
much rivalry between Lum Kim Wal
and Ernest Gay, but the question was
settled yesterday morning. A meet.
ing. of the baseball boys was first
called the latter part of last week.
Ernest Gay nominated Kim Wal, and
Harry Baldwin named Ernest Gay.
Then Kim Wal protested, saying that
Ernest Gay was an underclassman,
and II was one of the rules of the
athletic association that no under
classman should be captain of any
team. Also, that he had been cap
tain Of the soccer team earlier in the
year, and he should not hold two cap
taincies in the same year. The ques-
ton was left under discussion for a
while, but Harry Baldwin finally
said that Ernest Gay was an upper
classman in sports as it is only
allowed a student to play in athletics
for four years, and this will be Gays
fourth year. And as soccer is a mi
nor sport, the other objection was
thrown aside and Gay was elected
captain. All the 1914 baseball play
ers left in school have turned out

BERLIN.-The process of clearing
out all foreign elements from the
German language has now been ex'
tended to the vocabulary of sports.
A long list of words, mainly English.
has been made up by the committee
in charge of this reform, and Ger
mans from all parts of the country
have been invited to make sugges-
tions for German equivalents for
these words.
Some alterations have been already
accepted, among them being. for
Steeplechase, "Hindernisrennen"; for
Start, "Auffahren"; for Handicap
"Ausgleichrennen;" for Maiden Race
"Rennen fur sieglose Pferde".
Such words as Cricket and Golf, it
is admitted, present difficulties, as do
all the terms connected with those
two games. The trouble is to find
expressions, without too much length,
which will accurately say what is
meant. But the greatest difficulty Of
all is with the word sport itself.

companies one game of the series.
1t was anybody's game all the way

In the Company NJ part of the
eighth, two hits, a stolen base and a
pretty squeeze" bunt by Moore won
the game.
In the ninth inning Porter, the M
Company tWirler, was put in bad
hole. He walked the first man up,
the next one grounded to him, then
Porter threw to Morrison on third
who, instead of executing an easy
double play, made a muff which left
two men on. The next man up
grounded to Morrison, who made an
other bad-error, letting the ball go
between his legs, but Fetter, in right,
saved the game by cutting the run

THE real THING

One feature OF. the pictures of the
Harvard-Yale game, which the Har-
ward club is going to show tomorrow
night in Charles r. Bishop hall, is
that tire pictures are not taken hit or
miss throughout the game, but repre-
sent different plays at successive
stages in the play. For instance, in
the play in which Coolidge ran the
length of the field for touchdown,
the first picture shows that Hardwick
has tackled Knowles so hard that the
Yale back drops the ball which is
seen lying on the ground with Cool
idge just getting his eye on the ball.
Successive pictures then show the
splendid interference by Bradlee and
Ainsworth's long chase of Coolidge
until Coolidge goes over the line for
q touchdown.

be well for all, who have not already

cause of their importance, having
until June l to be selected. Each of
these events are worth $4,000.
The wonderful responses that
have come from the harness schedule
have set at rest all doubts as to its
success. Despite the fact that the
big war in Europe will keep many
important trotters at home, the en-
try list will be one of the largest
ever known among American and
Canadian candidates. Famous East
