Team In Splendid Condition. Will Break Camp At
 ValdOsta Today
MARCAN TO FIGHT
 FOR REGULAR JOB
Osborn and Marcan Expected to Re4 port to Manager Frank In Macon. Team Looks Good In Pitch
 ing and Hitting

Valdosta, April 1-fSpecial.)-Tha
 Crackers break their training camp hers
 tomorrow morning, and hit the rattler
 for Macon, where they will battle the
 Sally leaguers of that city three games,
 starting Monday, with three more games
 in Atlanta starting Thursday
 The team is in splendid condition and
 almost ready for the gong to ring, needed
 but few exhibition games to whip their team play into shape. when they will go
 to It In the regular season. confident of their ability to hold their own. Tt is believed that the team will be joined in Macon by Outfielder Osborn who has had a violent case of 'afraid-
 to-come-south bugs" and InfieIder Mar. can, who has been down with tonsilitis Osborn has been wired to report in Ma.
 con Monday or he will suffer suspension as the penalty.
 PERSONNEL ALMOST COMPLETE With the exception of first strina catcher and the possibility of another nurIer being landed, the Cracker per- sonnel that will open the season will be
 the same as that now shown There will be battle for the keystone berth between Eddit Gagnier, the formep III. merly of Birmingham. If Osborn reports
 he'll have to battle with Moran, McDon. aid and Thrasher for berth out there. Gutierrez the Cuban catcher and Doc Niederkorn, recalled from Mobile. will
 battle for the extra catchers berth The other positions are not being competed for.
 Tommie McMillan, the little shortstou former Tech star, and an Atlanta boy, will hold down the shortstop berth, and will lead off the batting order The sac I1fice position in the batting order is doubtful It all depends on whether or not Osborn reports and whether or not
 Marcan beats out Gagnier for the key< stone.
 MARCAN MAY BAT SECOND If Osborn does not report, and Marcan
 beats out Gagnier. Marcan will bat seoS end. If Osborn reports and Marcan also beats out Gagnier. Marcan will still bat second. But should Gagnier win the regu- lar keystone berth, while Oshorna. doea
 not report, Thrasher will bat second
 Osborns decision will also affect the next three places in the batting order. Tex Mcdonald is batting third and play. ing center field, Roy Moran, fourth, and left field, and Eddie Lennox, fifth and
 on third base. Osborns acquisition maN change this order.
 PROBABLE BATTING ORDER But presuming both Osborn and Marcan earn regular berths, we look for thd Crackers batting order in the opening game to be: McMillan, ss.: Marcan. 2bs Mcdonald or Thrasher. rf.; Osborn, of, Lennox. 3b; Moran, lf. Munch. If. After playing the Sally leaguers in Att
 lanta, the Crackers will go to Monrgon-
 cry for games, playing there before going
 on to Mobile to play the Gulls in the
 opening game of the season, April IA.
 As a whole the Cracker team looks
 faster in the field and on the bases, with letter pitchers and hitters than any Att lanta team for several seasons. They
 have good hitters as the 1913 season.
 In those years, those were the features
 of the three pennant winners

IOWA BEST IN UNION

This makes Iowa look like the best trapshooting state in the country. There are 220 gun clubs in Iowa; Pennsylvania has 492 Iowa has 57 clubs affiliated with the state association, while Pennsylvania has 121. The Keystone shooters will have to keep stepping to remain in front of illinois, as the Illinois shooters have an- nounced 43 registered shoots and only have 42 clubs affiliated with the state association. Trapshooting is coming on raster in the middle west and far west than it is in the eastern states-and there is no let-up in the east
 Twelve states have 10 or more register ed tournaments; 10 have more than 15, and five have more than 20. The list of championships-state sectional and national-and the tournaments as listed last year and this are herewith ap- pei:ded:

412 SHOOTS LISTED

According to registered list of shoots issued by the interstate association, some AZ, shoots are listed in Cuba and the canal zone, fertile fields for the sport which have just been discovered The list of shoots is by no means complete. When the state championship list is closed and the clubs make applications for the tour naments which will follow the Grand American handicap the number should to- tai close to the 800 mark. The total num- Ter of tournaments held under interstate supervision last year was 333. This. of course, does not include club tourna- ments, of which there are hundreds Present indications are that there will be at least 1000 trapshooting competitions of various sizes and descriptions within the boundary of the United States this year.
 In the list of 412 shoots increases are shown in % states over the number of tournaments held last year and in nine others decreases are noted Inside of another month it is expected that these nine will equal the mark of last year. or letter it. For a good many years Penn sylvania has led in the number of reg istered shoots, but this season little Iowa seems to have the bulge on the Sons of William Penn. Iowa has AS registered tournaments, as against 45 for Pennsyl- vaEia.

 Not Be Held OVER 400 SHOOTS
 PLANNED FOR 1916 Alabama State Shoot to Be Held In Birmingham On July 12, 13.
 Southern Championship Shoot
 At Memphis In May
By PETER P. CARNEY

Thirty-six of the 4S states with associa- tons affiliated with the interstate as- sociations for the encouragement of trap shooting have planned their annual cham pionship tournaments and it is expected that the tardy members will make known their dates quickly
 Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware. Montana. Virginia, South Carolina and South Da- kota are the states in which the trap shooters have not put their best foot for. ward
 Never before have so many trapshoot- ing tournaments been registered or state championships listed at this time of the year. This speaks well for the activity and the renewed interest in trapshooting as a sport.
 Alabama Georgia, Massachusetts. Min nesota, Texas and Mississippi have form ed state associations within the past year and efforts are now being made to get the trapshooting clubs of Maine Louis- lana, North Carolina, Kentucky. Florida and the District of Columbia into line There are many trapshooting organiza- tons in all of these states, but some how or other they have not taken the time nor trouble to become acquainted with the governing body. This is their loss.

NEW SUPERINTENDENT
TALKS ABOUT THE MEN
Says Wife Should Have
Monthly Allowance---Also
Mentions Schools

If John W. Todd, superintendent of
city schools, should run for office, he
surely would get the votes Of the wo-
men folks of Salem, as last evening at
the Commercial club, he told the men
they were running the home cooking
department of their homes all wrong.
How to handle the eommissary de-
partment of the home came up in his ad-
dress when he discussed the cooking in
the high school and the establishing of
a cafeteria. Knowing that what they
cooked was to be eaten at once by hun
CRY children and that if the food was
not good, the children would raise a
strong objection, Mr.. Todd said that
kind of experience was valuable to the
girl.
But the best part of the cooking
school was the fact that all had to be
done with the object of at least paying
expenses and with the cooking and fin
ancial side both in view, the girls got
some valuable experience.
"You men have no business sense
when it comes to running your table.
You Just let your wives run a grocery
bill and meat bill and never kick
until the end of the month when the bill
comes in. What you should do, is to
give your wife monthly or weekly al
lowance to run the table and then, if
she can save anything from that allow
anee, it is her pin money" said Mr..
Todd.
The greatest problem of the schools
is that Of giving service that is real,
one that will enable the pupil to con-
meet with the business life and the prae-
teal life afterwards, he said, and there
are two ways of doing this. One is by
giving the child an education in prac-
teal things and the other is academic.
The old system of education is to blame
for the number of impractical things
taught, but the modern system is getting
away from the old ideas and educating
the child to the modern conditions of
life.
Mr.. Todd said that ever since his
graduation as a young man he had been
following his mother. His first teach
ing was at Camas, Wash, and he went
there as that was his mothers home.
Later his mother went TO Phoenix,
Arizona, and shortly afterwards, Mr..
Todd followed her, teaching for four
years in the public schools. Then his
mother went to Tacoma and q year lat
er Mr.. Todd became teacher in the
Tacoma high schools. One year ago
Mrs. Todd came to Salem and now Mr..
Todd is here.
