MAY TEST PLAYERS
 FRAT, SAYS GILMORE
Hints That Players May Strike Before Opening
 of Coming Season

Chicago, February 26-James A. Gill; more. president of the Federal league. hinted tonight that the Players Fra ternity might put to a test the legal ity of the system under which organ ized baseball is conducted and that there was possibility of a players strike before the season of 1916 Is well under way. He said that the Federal trade commission had asked for the leagues documentary exhibit in the sherman lawsuit recently dismissed by Judge Landis.
 Magnates of the Federal league as- sembled here today to wind up its af- fairs, but decided to postpone the ob- sequies for three weeks when action to clear up the small indebtedness re- maining will be taken. Inability of Ed Gwinner of the Pittsburg club to be present was assigned as the reason for the postponement
 The sale of four players was an nounced The Chicago Nationals bought Eugene Packard, the left-hand- ed pitcher, with the Kansas City Fed erals last year, for $10,0O0. Nick Allen, catcher, and Scheer, outfielder, were sold to the Milwaukee American associa- sold to the St. Paul club of the Amer ican association.
 George Stovall, manager of the Kan sas City Federals, met the Federal league club owners and received as- surances from Harry Sinclair and the others that "he would be taken care offS' It was reported that place would be found for Stovall in one of the big leagues.

crowned with success and this decision of the association to interest new clubs is another thing that will help. It will not only serve to organize gun clubs but it will help rouse the moribund and pro- mote a healthy interest in sport that is second to none in many sections of the country. Not more than 200 trophies will be given to new gun clubs-that's more than were ever thought of before-this year, so that gun bugs want to get their names down just as soon as they become interested.
 The officers of the Interstate associa- ton know that too much trapshooting in tournaments isn't the best thing for the sport, and they announce that they will give preference to one-day tournaments. They will also give preference to tourna- ments that add extra trophies and cash to the contribution made by them. No will be registered for a Sun day only. A tournament which includes a Sunday may be registered but the score made on the Sabbath day will not count in the averages. Tournament man agers are urged to steer clear of circuits for the reason that the average amateur cannot afford to follow one shoot after another, and that if too many shoots were held in succession it would only be a matter of time when the events would suffer for lack of entries.
 All in all the plans differ very little

One of the most material causes in
 the growing popularity of trapshooting, l aside from the growing scarcity of game, l is the Interstate Association for the Encouragement of Trapshooting. ] Progressiveness and liberty have al-
 ways been the features of the associa- tion's policy. Year after year has proven that the methods of the Interstate asso- citation are the best that human wisdom has been able to evolve and therefore it l is unnecessary to repeat arguments in favor of adhering to tried and proven methods.
 There are no radical changes in the policy mapped out for 1916. The same general plan that has been in vogue for the past two years will be continued with few changes. One of these is the classi- fication of states and another is in the distribution of trophies and money. The states are divided in four cIasses, the divisions being made through the num- Der of registered tournaments held last year and the amount of activity dis played by the clubs.
 In Class A will be found Pennsylvania,
 California, Nevada, Illinois, Iowa, Mis- souri, New York and Ohio.
 Class B is composed of Indiana, Kan sas, Nebraska, Connecticut, Wisconsin and Virginia.
 Class c has Maryland, District of Co., ! lumbia, Kentucky. Massachusetts. Michi- gan, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, Oklahoma and Texas. Class D is composed of Alabama. Ari- zona, Arkansas, Colorado, New Mexico,
 Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Loui-
 siana, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, New
 Hampshire North Carolina North Da-
 kota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Rhode Island, Tennessee Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wyoming. Class A will receive from the Interstate association $250 for it's state champion ship tournament; Class B $225, Class c
 $2OO and Class D $50. The clubs holding
 state tournaments may take one-half of
 the money in trophies and one-half in
 cash. or all in trophies and no cash, but in no instance will more than one-half of the amount be given in cash At least $10,O00 of the money that the Interstate
 association will expend this year will go
 for trophies; $S500 will be given for
 state tournaments; $9500 for other tour
 naments and $2o0 will be spent for tro- phies for gun clubs which have organized since December 1, 1915, and reorganized gun clubs that have not shot for IA months previous to reorganization. This s20G0 will purchase trophies for club
 shoots, said trophies to be won three times before becoming personal property. The history of trapshooting shows that the associations efforts have been

MEETING TODAY FOR B|G BICYCLE RACE Rules to Be Discussed. About Sixty Riders
 Entered

Riders and promoters of the big five milo bicycle race Tuesday will meet this morning at 10 o'clock at the Hickman Cycle company to discuss the rules and regulations of the race in general. It is essential that all riders who expect to enter the race be at the meeting to- day.
 Dr. Ballard of the Boy Scouts announced yesterday afternoon that the organization would render any service possible in aid- ing the officials in keeping the route open. All other plans for the race have been completed and with tine meeting today officials will probably announce as ready for the race.
 The entry list was increased but little yesterday. Almost 60 riders have now

Waterfowl to the number of 2e,00O were killed in Oregon during the year of |1915
 The United Sportsmens Camp of Wilkesbarre, Pa, will introduce num- Der of measures at the next session of the Pennsylvania legislature. One of them will ask for the protection of quail for three years by a closed season; another prohibiting the use of silencers on shot guns in hunting, and others to prohibit hunting before sunrise; prohibiting the killing of spike bucks, and to abolish the provisions of the law giving one-half of the fines to the informer. The Sports mems Camp are interested in the better ment of present conditions and think that the game laws on the whole are very good.
 With the closing of the duck hunting sea son in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina on February 15, wild waterfowl shooting ceased until next September. The Weeks-McLean bill prohibits gum ning at migrants in their northward flights before they reach their breeding grounds, raise another generation of ducklngs and start for the south again. The hunting has been better the past sea- son in every part of the country than it has been for several years.
 According to the United States depart ment of agriculture the federal migra- tory bird law enacted in 1913 has had very marked effect upon the abundance of waterfowl throughout the country The timely character of the law is shown by the fact that the number of migratory game birds now existing in the United States is only about 10 per cent of the number found in the same area 75 years ago, and the total extermination of many species was imminent.

Editorial Opinion
WORTH SAVING AND IMPROVING.

From the New York Tribune.
It Is ungracious OF Speaker Clark
to lead movement OF the abolition Of
THE Congressional Record" Before
he became Speaker, Mr.. Clark was
one of The Records most volum.n-
Gus and most valued contributors.
Even since he has had to sit UP aloft
and listen to other mems speeches he
has occasionally descended from the
chair of state and enlivened the
transcript Of the Houses proceedings
with his humor and eloquence.
Why should he begrudge the public
the intimate view Of our national leg
islators at work which is furnished
by word-for-word report of what is
said on the floor of the house and
the Senate? The Record" has a rep
utatiOn for inordinate dullness which
it will probably never 1--we down with
those who do not read il. But Il is
far from being dull reading, and with
the scrappy. inadequate and often
misleading reports OF debates whick
creep into the crowded newspapers 1t
remains the only trustworthy source
Of information as to what happens in
Congress--the only medium through
-wh ch a clear idea of the actual work
of the House and Senate and OF the
capacity Of those who discuss legis-
lative projects can be obtained.
The one serious indictment which
can be brought against The Record
is that II is so largely padded and fall
sified. But that S not the fault of its
elitors. The padding and falsificaion
are due to the lax policy which per-
mits members to print speeches which
they have not delivered and to insert
speeches delivered by non-members,
together with a great mass Of m S
cellaneous matter which is meant for
consumption outside.
II would be easy enough for the
Rules Committees of the House and
Senate to exclude all foreign matter
from "The Record and restore to it
its real character as an exact and
truthful reproduction of actual de-
bate. Reyoking all leaves TO print"
would greatly reduce the bulk Of the
publication, and add to its value and
interest Il could be sold at half the
present price II the alien matter with
which II Is now cIuttered mp were
put under the ban.
Here is a chance for Mr. Clark to
do something constructive instead of
merely destructive Make THE Con-
gressional Record" a real record. and
1t will cease to be the last word in
unreadableness. But whether hard
reading or easy reading. the publica-
ton OF a true transcript OF the pro-
ceedings in the two houses will al
ways be something politically desir-
able and worth while.
