clubs in one circuit figure they have a
keen shot at the flag, plus their share
of a worlds series split
Where so many clubs are so tightly
wedged into the same space, each run or
each game ASSUMES unusual Importance.
And so each close decision carries extra
value. For not only is the race close, but
most Of the games fought are closer than
usual as there has been an abnormal
output OF one-run decisions. An umpires
life is not one of the softest upon this

the Proper Way Is to Keep Optics Focused on Target
In Natural Manner

AS TO whether II Il better 70 trapehoot

not directly concerned with the sighting
seems to be a source Of considerable
worry to some shooters, especially begin
ners
II a shooter is possessed OF pair OF
normal eyes, undoubtedly the proper way
to sight a shotgun ls to keep both eyes
wide open aud focused on the target IN
natural and easy manner. The advan-
tages Of sighting in this way are a clear
view Of the entire field, including that
part which would be otherwise cut on
by che gun barrels, and freedom from
the eye strain which results from any un-
usual use OF the eyes.
II is advisable for all new shooters 10
learn to shoot with both eyes open, un-
less some actual optical defect makes
II impossible. Older men, who have been
shooting for a great many years with one
eye sighting, will find some difficulty IN
changing, as constant practice will have
crystallized Into second nature the habit
Of closing one eye. A point 10 be con-
sidered, however is that you have moth

One Of Newton's laws says that ac-
tion and reaction are always equal and

II rife, shotgun or revolver were sup
ported directly in line with the axis OF
the bore, the barrel would recol straight
back and would have no excuse for
jumping upwards Revolvers jump worse
than other firearms because their load is
heavier in proportion TO their weight,
and their support is relatively so much
farther below the axis OF the bore.
Many sportsmen are under the i'm
preston that this jump Of a revolver
barrel causes the bullet to fly wild and
leads TO the oft repeated statement by the
fairly good rife shot that he can't shoot
a pistol because he isn't able TO hold the
pistol tight enough to keep 1t from jump
ing and so spelling his aim.
Now, in the first place, there isn't a
man living who can hold large calibre
revolver so that 1t will not jump. and
in the second place, the effect OF jump
on the flight OF the bullet is small and
is a constant quantity which has been
compensated for when the sights are put
on in the factory. Therefore, II a man

QUEENS SUBWAY
THROUGH TUNNEL
Estimate Board Against
Use Of Bridge, Except
for 81" Road Tracks.

ReaAirming Yesterday its decision
that the subway line 70 Queens should
60 through a tunnel and not across the
Greensboro Bridge. as now planned
tho Board o. Estimate asked the Public
Service Commission to dra" up plans
for such tunnel. II also asked for
specifications Of changes in plans, so as
TO run both tracks of the subway
through SIzticth Street, between Fifth
Avenue and tho bridge, instead Of hav-
ing one 60 through Fifty-ninth street
as at present planned.
The commission was also asked 10
take the necessary steps to get the
legislation required 10 make these
changes in the present plans of the
dual system.
At the same time the Board OF Esti-
mate decided to install the elevated
tracks on the greensboro Bridge, in ac-
cordancc with the plans for the use Of
the bridge by the subway line as well.
This was done so that if the plans for
the tunnel fail, the running of the Gle
waited trains Of the Second Avenue line
to Queens will not be delayed.
The only change needed in the bridge
structure for this is the relocation OF
the elevated track stringers from the
middle Of the upper deck to the south
erly side Of the deck. The cost Of this
is estimated at $4,000. The Board OF
Estimate informed the comm mission they
would be satisfied TO have them 20
ahead with this work. as we'll as putting
in the tracks and the signal system,
the cost Of which will be about S250,000
and must be borne by the marlborough
Rapid Transit Company.
II is estimated il will take fifteen
months to get the elevated trains across
the bridge, by which time the structure
in Queens will be ready for opera
tion.
There were a few verbal fireworks
in the board over a report Of the cor
porate stock budget committee provid-
in. that, in the future, when vacancies
exist, they should not be filled until
the Board of Estimate certified 1t was
necessary. 1t was signed by Controller
Prendergast, chairman, who was not
present. and President McAneny, who
was, and had to stand the criticism of
Borough Presidents Mathewson. Of The
Bronx. and Pounds, of Brooklyn. They
said they had never seen the report
end Mathewson said if he could not see
reports of the comm ttee before they
we're presented he would resign. Nel-
thcr favored the report, as they de-
clarcd il would hamper them IN their
work. and 1t was referred back to the
committee.
