B'PORT RIFLE AND
 REVOLVER CLUB TO
 ELECT oFFICERs

The Bridgeport Rifle and Revolver club incorporation under the limited laws of the state having now been completed, notices have been sent put for a general meeting of the members to be held at 8 p. m. tonight at Cut ter & Shernan's S store, A Fairfield aenue when committee and off cers for the current year will be elect- ed. ss
 As for many reasons outside the control of the provisional commit tee 1t proved imp ossible to complete the range and pavilion for shooting this winter very little has been heard of the club of late. but the range will be ready for shooting by the spring and the project promises to prove the success the founders anticipat- ed.
 Recruits are wanted and any citf- zen%interested in promoting a charm ing recreation which insofar as it aims at providing cheap and popular facilities for the cultivation of marks manship, will be a useful agent in developing the defensive resources of the people may assist by joining the club though he may never intend to shoot.
 MT. Hewitt, who has had great ex- perfence in organizing many similar clubs in England where rife shoot ing is now the most popular pursuit of the people has undertaken. if elect ed, to serve as secretary.
 w K Nolan, Major L. J. Herr mann and A c. Edwards have kindly consented to serve as vice-presidents while the funds will be looked after by Treasurer w. H. Nolan of the U. M. C. Go. and audited by Accountant G. Meyerhoff of the same firm.
 There is still a vacancy for a presi- dent. Any public spirited citizen of name and standing in search of a hobby upon which to spend some time and money could find noz more pa triotic purpose to which to devote his energies, the club members say.

 In a story in the New York Press to-day it is stated that Billy Lush wants to start Federal league club in Bridgeport Lush is said to be in- terested in the formation of the new minor league circuit which will in cfude cities in this section. He has applied drectdy to President Gilmore for a franchise.
 Billy, who is a Bridgeport boy, is basketball coach at New York uni versity at present. After leaving the big leagues he coached the Yale season 1t was mentioned last year that be wanted to get an Atlantic lea gue ffanchise for Stamford. The Bederals haven't launched their mi nor league circuit in this territory. If they fail they can't blame it on writers have certainly treated them handsomely.
 Writers who are trying to boom a consolidation of the best cities in the Eastern and New England leagues, derive considerable satisfaction from the fact that President T. Murnane of the New England circuit says he will put no obstacle in the way of the con solidation if the majority of the club owners want it.
 That's a good general statement but it means nothing in the case of the Eastern association for, in view of the agreement, unanimous consent would have to be obtained before the league could be disbanded- 1 Dartmouth has lost it's best base ball player, F7etch Low, who has been declared professional.

\. Y. ADOPTS PLAN
Of LOCAL PHYSICIAN
To Pay For Filing of Birth and
Death Certificates to Get
Perfect Records

In the current issue OF the Medical
Record is an account of New York's
adoption of a plan for the payment of
birth and death certificates of par
ticular interest to Harrisburgers.
The New York legislature only re-
Gently passed the law known as the
Seely bill. which provides that munich
palities shall pay physicians % cents
for each birth certificate or death GER
uhcate properly made out and filed.
II is estimated the new law will cost
New York city about $4,000 a year.
The Seely bill was a direct copy of
similar bill which originated with
Dr. Samuel z. Shope. the ear. eye, nose
ana throat specialist of this city, but
which was vetoed by Governor Tener
after being passed by the legislature
two years ago. The bill was drafted
ny DR.. Shope with a view to aiding the
State Department of Health in the
gathering of birth and death certifi-
Gates. II being pointed out that neglect
10 nle certificates was leading TO Inn
perfect records and great inconveni-
ence in many cases. DR.. Shope. of
course, could have received no COM
pensation for the filing of the certifi-
Gates in question, as he is a specialist
and does not deal with cases result
ing in either births or Deaths
The New York Medical Society was
so impressed with the plan suggested ed
by DIR. Shope for the gathering of sta
tistics that ii wrote to the local spe-
'cialist for a copy Of the bill and Sc
cured its enactment into law in New
York this year.
