chalant Sort of Way.
An interesting story was told to nae
by a trapper to whom had given
shelter at my campfire on kootenay
lake. He said that he had just been
up in the Sekirks guiding man
named Roosevelt, who wanted to get a
cinnamon or silver tip grizzly have
forgotten which-that they had got
one and that he had just said goodby
to his employer, then police commits
sioner in New York He said:
THAT man Roosevelt Is the bravest
man l ever saw. He is very nearsight-
ed and has a pocketful of different
kinds of glasses We were going up
a narrow trail in the grizzly country
when | saw around the turn, not very
far ahead, big bear shambling down
| dropped back and motioned TO Roose-
velt to look around the corner He
stepped slightly forward and saw the
bear not over a couple of hundred feet
away.
The trail was narrow, on one side a
cliff, on the other Il rayine Instead of
putting up his gun Immediately and
shooting, Roosevelt sroped around in
his pocket until he found the pair Of
glasses that he wanted. unhurriedly re
moved the pair he wore, rubbed put
on and adjusted tue others and when
the bear got within fifty feet of him
took deliberate aim and Killed him"
IN picturesque language the old
guide said that amy son of a gun who
would take the time to change his
glasses when u grizzly was looping
down the trail within a few yards of
him was the brayest man be had ever
seen.-Albert r. Ledoux in Mining and

sive player. The contention that the
ball should go to the man Of the side
making the pass was upheld.
That the ball is not automatically
dead when an offside member of the
kicking, side is hit with it after punt
was also declared. The penalty may be
refused by the side not making the
case of a declined penalty. If a ball is
kicked a second time it will go to the
opposing side. even though it has not
gone 10 yards. 1t was also brought
up and the opinion given that the
whistle should be blown whenever the
forward progress of the ball ceases. If
there is an incompleted forward pass
after offside play or holding has been
called, the penalty shall be made for
offside or holding and no forward pass
considered. The first offense always
takes precedence and holds good in this
regard.
To judge from the slight changes of
the last two years i'm the code. foot ball
is now reaching stage similar to that
held by base ball, one where no radical
alterations in the playing code may be
looked for, but in which slight changes
to clear up certain points or to benefit
the game technically are likely to oc-
cur. Foot ball is now more stable than
at any previous period in it's whole his
tory, and with the minor improvements
In the code each year it is likely to
grow more and more in favor. One of
the chief drawbacks for coaches and
ago was the continual alterations in
the code, and the high development of
the game now Is undoubtedly due to
the stableness of the rules, which has
given time to work out some few of
the many problems the sport affords.

of action makes no difference. The
bolt-lever controversy has been waged
for years with no definite results. The
point you mention is mostly theoreti-
cal buncombe-true. but to such q
slight extent that it would make no
practical difference.

your knowledge the lever-action and

II SO, the result?

particular test which gave any posi-

F. w. S.-Realizing that trigger pull
is the most important feature of re-
volVer shooting, / would like to have
your opinion on the following matter:
In an article entitled practical Re-
volver Shooting" it is stated: The
trigger should never be pulled, but
squeezed or pressed straight back by
COMPRISING the whole hand, and not
by the action of the trigger finger
alone" Or. in other words. squeeze the
trigger just as one would do in rife
shooting. Elsewhere. however under
the subject of target shooting, find
the following: practice with an un-
loaded revolver will aid the muscles of
the forefnger to act independently of
the hand and arm. This is the secret
OF holding the front and rear sights
in line at the moment of discharge" |
am not able to reconcile these two
statements, although it would seem
that both writer's should know what
they are talking about.
Answer-The method l use in revolv-
er shooting is to maintain a steady
pressure on the grip and gradually
contract the trigger finger only until
the hammer is released. / do not in
crease the squeeze of the entire hand.
and I do not recommend that method.
as l believe that. it will lead to trem-
bling. This tremble always will occur
II the grip is squeezed too tightly. OF
course, there are a number of shooters

c. r. K.-I have a 1920 model 1873
equipped with Rocky Mountain sights
Have tried sfactory-loaded short-range
ammunition in it. but the rear sight
won't give enough elevation to hit the
bulrs-eye at fifty yards. Will a re-
ceiver sight or a combination rear sight
give enough elevation to use this gun
with the same ammunition at fifty to
seventy-five yards range? In trying
it the cartridges gave good penetration
and accuracy, but undershot a foot in
fifty yards.
Answer-It is possible that your
sights are lot properly set. Doa they
give proper elevations with the regular

you sufficient elevation to make a

part. Where could one get a second

Answer suppose it would be posi-
BILE to have the work done which you
speak of, but 1 cannot see any particu-
lar advantage in doing it, as the old
government Springfield barrel would
certainly do no better than the one
with which the rifle was originally
fitted. Work of this nature is very
expensive and you will find that it
would be much cheaper to purchase a
new rife than to have this fitting
done.
C. L. WI find that at least one con-
Germ that is engaged in the manufac

rifle when using ammunition of as
powerful a type as the 80 govern
ment 1906, on the ground that such
mechanism detracts from the neces-
sary rigidity of the breech, resulting
in an arm that is less accurate than
one of the bolt-action types.

MKiddineo Part of the Game.

Base ball is different game, how
ever. In the first place, the crowd
would not enjoy it unless they could
yell like wild Indians. We ball players
are paid to entertain them. and If they
choose to call us names we must bear
it without a murmur. If the fans saw
eighteen players go on the field and
congratulate one another and exchange
pats on the back in the midst of the
game they would get the idea that they
were not out to win, but were playing
for the money alone.
Spectators at a ball game expect to
see the two teams display deep rivalry.
After the game they may fraternize all
they please-and nearly all the big
league players do. But they must be
enemies on the ball field. in a sports
manlike way.
So long az there is base ball there
will be Kidding" and I would not
enjoy game half SO much If the play
ers did not try to get one another's
goats" 1t adds to the excitement and
the uncertainty of the sport.
