One benehcent result of the war IN
Europe may be the introduction Of
baseball as popular sport in England
and Great Britain. While they we're
in camp in England the Canadian
soldiers spent their spare time in
playing Americas international

national game"-and now the gal

meet the demand.

There are certain little courtesies
to be observed in every branch Of
sport. Trapshooting is no exception
to the rule. and no sportsman re-
quires to have his attention called 10
such courtesies. There are. however.
two or three ether specia items,
which, if observed, help greatly to
make things plessanter all around.
One of the most important of these
is promptness at the score Don't

conversation No body who Is keen

are in. and be on hand-the first up

set the others a good example
Don't talk with members Of your
squad. or with outsiders. while you
are shooting It may not disconcert
you (although It will do so sooner or
later, but it will surely take the
attention of some member or mem
bers of the squad from the work IN

pear on the score sheet.
There is another point to which at

mind of the shooter must be concen-
trated on his work just as keenly.
Is Il fair, therefore, to put your COM
panion at a disadvantage. just because
he happened to be No. 5 in the squad
while you occupied an earlier posi-
ton? This point Is now so well rec
cgnized that It is the exception. and
not the rule, at important tourna-
ments to see single member of a
squad leave his position until the
last shot has been fred.
Another small point should be men
toned, namely. the proper time to
move from one position to tho next.
No. / in the squad Of course is al
ways the first to move, because he is
the first to finish the number allotted
TO any one position. Suppose il is a
15-target event-it will be his turn
to move when he has shot at his third
target The question is When should
he start to change to the next POSI-
ton? The proper thing to do to avoid
possibility of disturbing the shooter
whose position he will occupy next
Is TO wait until his neighbor has shot
before even commencing to change.
No. should wait until No. has
shot and so on. The only exception
is when you are at No. position. and
you have to get around to No.
standard for your next shot. In such
case. and as you cannot possibly
bother the man at No. 1, whose turn
it is to shoot next. II is best 10 start
for the No. position Immediately
after you have shot at you target and
elected the empty shell.
Never load your gun before you
move from No. to No. l. If you
have not noticed that il was time
to move. and have put a shell in
your gun, open the gun and take ou
the shell before leaving the score oil
turning around from IL. Accidents
will happen from very slight cause!
and you never can tell what ma!
happen II you disregard this rule
l which never should be broken.

And This Cat Came Back.

It's a Winsted story. but fails to eclipse the Canaan cat story of two years ago, when Dr. Ross took Farnum' S drug store cat with him to the Adiron- dacks and Pussy left camp next day af- ter it's arrival and walked back, about 180 miles, reaching the drug store twelve days after it's departure, almost con- pletely exhausted ard with a ravenous appetite. The Winsted cat story, as told ill the Citizen of Monday, is as follows:
 Here's a wonderful and almost in- credible instance of the cat coming back. On Nov. l, a tiger cat, two years old, named Teddy, was taken in burlap bag by automobile from the resort to Springfield, Mass. Two or three days later Teddy disappeared from Oak Grove avenue in Springfield and a search lasting several days failed to re- veal any trace of the cat. Yesterday a cats footprints freshly made were seen in the snow about the cottage, which is closed for the winter, and they were also discernible in the groves where Teddy caught squirrels and chipmunks in the summer time. A half-hour search for Teddy was successful. Cross. country, it is fully 60 miles from Springfield to Winsted.'
