ming all Of its matches. The Wash
ington State College won the cham
piOnship of the western league.
This year also saw the organization
of "a league of teams representing Ma
tional Guard Companies of the several
States. Twenty-One teams in various
parts of the country competed in ten
competitions. The Fourth Company
Coast Artillery Reserves of the Oregon
National Guard won the championship
of the league. The Outdoor Sport
Range Rife League competitions OF
last summer, in which 20 teams con-
tested. aroused considerable enthus-
iasm all over the country in outdoor
shooting. The Peters Rifle and Revol-
yer Club of Kings Mills. Ohio, was
the winner.
The present time sees all of these
leagues in operation for the year 1915.
with more teams entered than ever be-
fore and the spirit of competition
steadily growing. Since these leagues
have been organized there has been a
steady increase in the number of rifle
clubs formed in various parts Of the
country.
The foundation on which the league
idea OF shooting stands is that Of Great
ing interest among the citizens of the
United States in the art of shooting
1t is pastime which has behind it all
the principles of clean living and good
habits. II educates the mind TO CO.
ordination with the body and develops
the faculties along the lines most de-
sired. In all of the five years Of or
ganized league shooting there has not
been a single serious accident So
shooting cannot be considered a dan
gerous sport, even when compared
with football or baseball for instance.
IN conclusion it may be stated that
in practically every city or town in
the United States there is a regularly
organized rife and revolver club or a
place where one may enjoy the grow
ing and popular sport of rifle shooting.

COLLINS TO START?
Fans Wonder How Eddie
Will Play With White
SOx
BUCK WEAVER
WILL BE A HELP

What is to be Eddie Collins future
with the Chicago White Sox? Will he
be the same fielding wonder as when
ne played with the Philadelphia Ath-
letics, or will his general all-around
work deteriorate? Fans are asking
themselves these questions. but TO
date none has vOuchsafed an answer.
Time alone will tell the tale.
Why should Collins work suffer as
a Chicagoan in comparison with that
which he had on tap while striving
Tor honor and glory for the standards
Of the House of Mack? asks the
Pittsburgh Press. Well, Jack Barry
is the answer. Jack will not be his
running mate as has been the case
ever since 1909. And be it said here
and now that Barry has been conceded
by rival ball players, press and public,
to be the best shortstOp in the Ameri-
can league.
OF course Collins adherents will tell
you that he made Barry the wonder
worker that he is, insisting that II
Jack had had anyone working at sec
ond instead of the peerless Eddie he
would be dated only as a fair perform
er. To all of which the merry ha, ha,
is given by Barry's thousands of su-
porters, who tell you that it was prov
ed time and again during the past five
or six years the Athletics we're a great

out of the lineup not only did Collins

He's spectacular, almost as much SO
as Barry at times. But unlike the
Mackite star. Weaver is said TO be
very inconsistent. He's not nearly SC
dependable as Barry. And this same
inconsistency may work the undoing
of Collins as the peer Of second sack
ers.
There's no disputing the fact that
the Barry-COllins combination or the
Collins-Barry combine. if you will. Sc
the pace for all shortstop-second base
men duOs in baseball, and it's eX
tremely doubtful if Collins will far'

History of Organized League
Shooting in The United States
BY FRANK KAHRs Associ Editor Arms the

Shooting men generally know that
there are a number of regularly or
ganized leagues for shooting, repre-
senting practically every branch of
the sport. The general public. how
ever. reads little or nothing on the
subject. and except through an occa-
sionai paragraph in the daily press
seldom sOmes in contact with any
news concerning league activities.
Notwithstanding. the fact remains
that school boys, college men and
Just plain. everyday civilians go to
their club ranges each week and
shoot in competition with others of
their class with the rife, revolver and
pistol
Even a large majority of shooting
men do not know that it was but five
years ago that the first organized
league for shooting was brought into
existence, and being one of those con-
cerned l am able to tell you just how
II came about.
In the summer of 1909-June, TO be
exact-two prominent members of
the National Capital Rifle and Re-
volver Club of Washington. ID. c., met
quite by accident on the street, and in
the course Of their conversation,
mostly on shooting topics, they dis
cussed the question of organizing
the numerous revolver clubs in the
country into league for the purpose
of inter-club competition.
These two knights of the trigger
were unanimous in the opinion that
such league. organized along the
lines of our baseball leagues, would
arouse great interest in the sport and
stimulate activity in competition.
This informal conversation finally
/ took the form Of a communication tC

tion, the governing body for pisto
and revolver shooting in the United

put the question before its affiliated
clubs and members. and the result

composed of revolver clubs

performer that he will force Barry
into the background
Weaver has class, lots of it. He is
about as fast as they make them with
hand and foot in the field, and there is
a chance that he will not only make
the fans forget all about the Barry
Collins days. but, with Eddies able
assistance. improve on the play of the
Athletics great star duo.
But you can't forget Barry, the man
with the great baseball brain. the
wonderful hands and feet that seem to
work in perfect unison with the mas
ter mind, the Incompatible shortstop,
and it's a safe bet that Weaver-Col-
Inns will never DER shadow Barry

determination not to accept the throne

the monarchical form OF government,
was asserted s7ehis morning by DIR.
Frank j. Goodnow. president of Johns

who has just left Pekin after
working on the new constitution.
Seen by a Star-Bulletfn reporter a
few minutes before he and his family
sailed for San Francisco on the Man

DR.. Goodnow, on being asked what hs
thought, of yesterdays Associated
Press dispatches that President Yuan
Shih-kai has dropped his opposition
to the monarchical form of govern
ment, made the following statement:
Il see no reason why President
Yuan Shih-Kai should change his mind,
and | am sure he has not. He told me
that he believed the matter
should be left to the constitution
drafting committee, and yesterdays
dispatches show this is what has been
done.
Yuan said to me he would not &C
cept the imperial crown of China even
if the constitution drafting committee
decided to resume the monarchical
form of government.
Il am positive that he has not
