TRAPSHOOTERS TO
HONOR Gilbert
Anniversary Shoot Will Be
Staged at Claymont
on Saturday
LOVING CUP
FOR HIGH MAN

On Saturday shooters from this
section will gather on the grounds
OF the Claymont Trapshooters' Club
TO do honor to Fred Gilbert the ia
nous veteran trapshooter, and the
most popular and expert shooter who
ever faced the traps. Gilbert has
been In the game for more than
twenty years, and more than 500 gun
clubs throughout the country will,
during the week of March 18th to
goth hold shoots in honor of his
twentieth anniversary.
This monster celebration is a fit-
ting tribute to a man who is in every
particular and sense of the word a
true sportsman. and ono who has
been a great factor in working for
the proper upbuilding of the sport,
When the affair was announced the
idea was commended by thousands Of
shooters throughout the country who
know Fred Gilbert and love and re-
spect him as they do no other indi-
vidual who has ever been connected
with the game.
Mr. Gilbert started in the game
when IL was In its infancy, and when
trapshooting was just beginning to
supplant live bird or pigeon shoot
ing. At one time he held every live
bird challenge cup in the country.
and his records both at this style Of
shooting and at the traps have never
even been approached. For six con-
secutive years he won the seasons
high average from thousands OF 9TH
er shooters, which feat has long
stood the test Of time, and will un-
doubtedly never be equalled
In manner Gilbert is quiet and re-
served and gentlemanly and cour-
teous TO all. To his coaching and
what they have accomplished. And
by his personality he has made for
himself a place in the affections of
shooting ntIn from which he can
never be dethroned. AS a member
of the All-American team which Wis
tied the British Isles in 1901 he was
large factor In the success of that
expedition which met and vanquished
the best in the Old World and re-
turned home without a defeat re.
corded against them.
At Claymont on Saturday there
will be a 1o0-target event which viii
be open to all amateurs. and in which
\ a handsome silver loving cup will
be offered as a prize on a handical
basis. The entrance will be 81, an,
large entry list is anticipated
| Billy Robelen the popular manage
Of the Claymont Club is doing every
thing necessary and possible TO max
II a success. and II surely will do SC

HIGH AND CHESTER
Seconds IN preliminary

The High School second team will
lineup against the Chester seconds
In the preliminary of the High School
and Chester game tomorrow. This
game should be fast and interesting,
as the High seconds defeated the
Chester seconds in Chester by a
score of 1922. AS there is such a
rivalry between Chester and Whining
ton, the Wilmington scrubs will fight
hard to bring home the bacon and
both teams are expected to do so.
During the last couple of weeks the
second team has shown a great i'm
provement and they keep the first
team busy in practice. Their passing.
shooting and floor work has greatly
improved and there are two or three
foul shooters who may be depended
upon. This should be great advan-
tage to the second team. as they have
lost many points through their weak
ness from the fifteen-foot mark
Although outweighed by their op-
ponents in most OF their games, the
scrubs have always put up a good
game and, although Chester is con-
fident. the Wilmington lads expect to
take the game. The team will lineup
with .Foulk and Pierson. forwards;
Chandler. centre. and ONeil. Minker
and Carter. guards. Chandler will
shoot fouls. and is in fine form. Mr..
Davis. of Friends School. will referee
and will start the game at 3.15 o'clock.

BASKETBALL
GENERAL SPORTS

In the April issue of the Baseball
Magazine. Walter Johnson, the King
of Pitchers. explains the secrets OF
his craft. The following is an ex-
tract of the article:
Il would not give very much lot
speed alone. however great. unless 1t
was used in an effective way | am
not speaking of control, for or
course. it is useless to pitch speed
or anything else unless you can get
the ball over the plate. Control Is
the main thing, first, last and all the
time. but even the best of speed and
the best Of control are made doubly
efective by proper type OF deliv-
cry. To my mind there is no other
point upon which managers make so
many mistakes as upon delivery.
'sThere is only one right way TO
pitch a ball, and that is tho natural
way Every boy has a certain way
for throwing a stone Ordinarily, the
easiest way TO throw is by a sweep
ing underhand motion. That was the
natural way for me, and have never
changed It. IL would have been a
great mistake If had tried to change

"There arc two great advantages u
the ordinary underhand OF side-ann mo
tion. In the first place, as ! have lus'
eaid it is generally the type OF throw
ING q stone or ball which comes natur
aliv TO most people, and for that reasor
II is the easiest and the least wearing OF
The arm. But there is still another roa
son which is fully as important an'
which I will try to illustrate by takinl
Joe Woods pitching as an example

that his speed is much. if any less, thar

other, but when he wants 20 he can get
the ball across the plate with extraordi-
nary speed Many pitchers have unccr-
tain control, but Wood is man who |
would say has very good control. But
where | believe Woods speed loses much
of it's effectiveness is in his delivery. lie
has the exact type which most of the
managers try 90 teach young pitchers,
q regular overland sweep of the arm.
Il is the easiest thing in the world for
the batter's eye 10 follow the ball with
this delivery IL may travel fast when
il leaves his hand, and the batter has TO
act quickly, but after all, lac Is prepared
to meet the ball, for he has followed il
from first TO last of the windup motion.
On the other hand, the side-arm motion
is almost impossible TO follow with the
eye. The ball leaves the pitchers fin
gers when he wants IL to, aud the batter
has only fraction of n second TO meet
it He has not been able TO follow II
with his eye as he could do with the
overland motion, and it always takes
him at a disadvantage.
"1n my opinion the managers have
spoiled many young pitchers by their
absurd notions OF proper delivery. II
were a manager / would try TO de-
velop a pitcher along the lines which
we're natural TO him, unless he had
some popularity that was really a
handicap or likely to wrench his arm.
would not try to change his delivery
at all. but instead of favoring the
overland type of delivery. would.
wherever II was possible. do just the
opposite and favor the sidearm or un-
dcrhand type. for that is by all odds
