DUPONT CUNMEN SHOW
LACK OF PRACTICE

Members Of the dupont Trapshoot
ing Club are attributing their defeat
last Saturday at the hands OF the
Lansdale Gun Club to the fact that
since last October they have not been
able to shoot over the traps OF the
local club. Ii has been necessary for
them to travel among other places
10 Philadelphia. Chester. Baltimore.
kennett Square and Camden to obtain
needed practice for the Philadelphia
Trapshooters League matches. Many
members, who do not care 10 travel
out of town each Saturday, have been
Obliged TO attend the League shoots
without any intervening practices,
and as result have not shot up to
their usual standard in the first
event. Their second string OF twenty
FIVE usually shows a decided improve
ment in form over the former event.
and indicates that the necessary prac-
tice TO insure a good score the first
time had been lacking. This fact is
well eXemplihed by a comparison Of
some of the scores made last Satur-
day at Lansdale by dupont Club
members
Among those who improved in their
second event. after a little practice.

Bv Tho Unifed Pros

BY The United Press.
MACON. Ga. March ll.-Bill Dono-
van, with more than 100000 worth of
baseball hecf and hone treading the
tropical lea today, was just about ready
TO lead his Nauks against the best the
American League affords and put up a
hair-raising fight Tor the pemsnt.
Spring training under the glowing rays
of benevolent sun has icrsed the
Yankee players into real high grade
trim for the seasons fray. The pitch
ers are going along in swinging strides
and the Outiield is rated one of the best
balanced outer vistas in the whole
American League landscape.
Money did most of it. Colonel Rup-
pert and Captain Huston. the spend
thrift owners of the club, have dis
bursed at least the fifth part of mil
lion shells for diamond scrfs and results
to date have been sufficient to satisfy
them that their Judgment was right.
Toward the latter part of 1915 the Yam
kee owners combed the minors for tai
ent and bought about 100000 worth Of
playing material. Not satisfied. they
gave their fellow mOnarchs heart ilut
ters in the last few months by contrib
uting 100000 more for Lee Magee,
Frank Baker. Gcdeon and Schafer, stars
of the one-tuue Federal League. The
cost of purchase was by no meaus the
end of the Yankees responsibility,
either. The stars OF the team have con
tracts for sums large enough to stagger
most anyone but Charlie Chaplin, and
Charlie won't stagger the slightest
staglet for less than $1,000 a week or
thereabout.
"Ruppert aud Huston are determined
to give the fans one of the best clubs
that ever represented New York in the
American League" is Donovan's mod
est comment on the Yankees aspira
tions "Irice has not cut any fig
we with the owners. In single year
they have spent, probably. more money
for players than has been spent in the
rest of the cluRs history"
Third base, of course, is Frank
Bakers logical position, Donovan says,
and Fritz Maisel is enthusiastic about
his tentative berth in the far agricul-
tural regions. Magee. though second
baser by trade, will carry the burden OF
center station in the lanks' outlield m-
less Donovan finds it impossible other
wise TO plug the hole at second Magec
likes to tell people about his tcmpera-
ment. In the outfeld he will be able to

So Delaware MEN
ANSWER TRACK CALL

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK. March 1.-THE first
call for candidates for the track
brought out thirty-six Delaware Col
lego students yesterday afternoon,
who will try for various field and
track events the coming season. The
call was issued bw Assistant Coach
Clarence e. Keyes. who will prac-
tically have entire charge Of the
training of the track men this year.
This is the largest track squad that
has ever come out for the blue and
gold any one year, and as some of
the material looks good, Delaware
will probably have a better track
team than for years.
The first meet that Delaware will
take part in is the relay races at
the University of Pennsylvania the
last Saturday in April. A relay
team will be sent to this meet as
usual.
G. o. Smith, manager OF track.
will assist Coach Keyes in his work.
This arrangement will give Coach
McAvoy more time to devote TO base
ball Manager Smith has been Della
wares star sprinter for two years
and is a ten-second man. Acting
under instructions of his physician
he will not run the dashes this year,
but may come out for the broad
jump. David Crockett. hurdler; Vir-
den Marshall, 20-yard spriner and
high jumper, and Alexander Croth
ers, star one-mile runner, are among
last years varsity men who will be
out again. A number of others who
have done more or less track work
the last year or two will also be out
and there will be a large squad Of
freshmen. There are more weight
men out than for some years and as
Delaware has been weak in this
branch Of the field events the turn
out is encouraging.
Those who reported yesterday and
the events they will try for follows:
Crockett relay and 120 and 220-yard
hurdles: Marshall, relay. high jump,
20-yard dash and half mile; Crothers,
one mile and two-mile runs; Cats,

vent his rage on the hapless grass-hop-
pers without danger Of anyone calling
his hand. One OF the most annoying
features of Magec's st. Louis service
was the persistence of certain fans IN
calling him Hoernschemeyer, the name
he played under when he was selling
goat in Rhineland. Ohio, meat dispen-
sary. No one kicked on his taking the
name of Magee. and he has had free
use Of 1T ever since.
Donovan expects Walter Pipp to
prove a corking first baseman and his
catching staff, Alexander. Nunamaker,
Walters, Schwert and Smith, is one of
the most promising departments in tho
whole aggregation. Schwert played over
on the Jersey side last year following
his leap from the University of Pennsyl-
vania. Nunamaker is the Yankee catch
ing veteran, and hits well for back
stop.
Donovan brought down a whole boat
load of pitchers and hopes TO Gull out
at least three good left handlers to bal
ance the staff Caldwell and Fisher like
ly will prove the nucleus of the pitching
corps in the coming season, and George
Mogridge threatens to become a regular
southpaw. Injuries kept Keating out
OF the game most of the 1915 season,
and his value this year still is a prob
lem.
The Yanks will start North March
p, besieged by demands for exhibition
games, a result Of their requirement OF
the Federal League stars. This is in
contrast to last years state of affairs,
when the club owners called thirty fans
