Maps Hold High Hopes For Good Season

X AN ANTONIO, Texas March g.
With three ball clubs assembled
- here, san Antonio occupies an
unique position among the training
camps Although the St Louis Cardinals
finished third in the National league
last season. the hope Of fandom is that
they will cop the 1915 flag, thus once
more bringing out that familiar trait
OF human nature, never satisfied" 1t

ches and the san Antonio Steeds. In
this case the fans have a right TO hope
Tor better things legal right With
the Maps wallowing in eighth place by
q large majority, and the BronchOs saw
ing themselves only by the miserable
showing OF the Senators in the Texas

things, and if signs count for anything
they ere not going to De disappointed.

with a number Of recruits added. the
fondest hope is held out in the fact
that the great Larry VIII be among the

was in a wrong font, and with the team
made over. as is now the case the
youngsters will not feel so i'll at ease
as they did with the veteran star in

In this.

Ell PASO GUN CLUB MAY
HOLD A GILBERT MATCH"

IF the members Of the FL Paso Gun
club show enough interest in a special
shoot arrangements will be made for
d Fred Gilbert" match on the local
traps some time this month Fred Gil
bert is one Of the veteran trap shots
OF America, whose record for 20 years
has never been beaten. The national
organization has offered a trophy TO
ali clubs which. in honor Of this vet
eran, hold one Of these shoots, the re-
quirements being that at least 10 men
compete and that the minimum number
OF targets per man be 100 Secretary
Hughes. of the local club, is now
sounding the members on the propO-
sition-
From Il to 10 members have been
turning up at all the shoots of the
local club and some very creditable
scores are being recorded, but il is
noticeable that il is a different lot Of
shooters almost every week. It is felt
that the local club should be able to
have 40 or so men compete in a trophy
event like the proposed Fred Gilbert
match.
Many OF the local hunters have
been making inquiries of secretary
Hughes regarding the close of the duck
season i'm Texas and New Mexico and
he has now announced that the Texas
duck season closed February l and the
New Mexico season on January l..

play in this famous game came up in

led off for the Phillies, hit under one

Wilson. who was doing the catching for
