MISS LUCILLE MUEsEL Fourteen Year Old Girl of Green Bay, Wis, Who is 90 Per Cent.
 Target Breaker

A few weeks ago women trap shooters representing the Portland (Ore), and Spokane (Wash.), Gun clubs engaged in a team shoot by telegraph and, even with Mrs Ada SchiIling in the Portland lineup, the Spokane Dianas had the better of the match.
 The result of the contest has really no bearing on this story but it shows the attention that members of the fair sex are giving to trap shooting. When women take to shooting by teIe- graph" they are intensely interested in the sport. Women are making great inroads on the members of the sterner sex in the sport of trapshoot- ing, and it behooves the men to keep hustling if they desire to keep in the van.
 In the vernacuIar of the day women have taken to trapshooting like ducks to water. They take to the sport be- cause of it's fascination and it's won derfuI health benefits. The more the women engage in outdoor sports, the less need they have for physicians, and trapshooting is the finest of out door pastimes It isn't as strenuous as tennis or some of the other sports, and no woman need be afraid of gun kicking" any more. The kick is a thing of the past.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
STOCK PIECES SHOW REoovERIEs
Railroads, Steel and Munitions All
 Showed an Increase.

New York, Aug. 1.-StOcks made substantial and rather general rccoF- cries today from their leahtrgy Of re- cent sessions, under lead of investment issues, notably Union Pacific and United States Steel. The former made an extreme gain of l-2 points to 139 IA on VeS large dealings and Steel was in demand towards the close at 87, with individual transactions oL 1,GC0 to 2,300 shares. The excellent statements of earnings for June re- ported by leading lines, particularly the Pennsylvania system, was effective in stimulating speculative confidence. Other favorable factors included the decision to place Maxwell common an q q second preferred shares on dividend bases and the declaration of Q fixed rate of dividend on Studebaker
 Crop news was more reassurlng. al though further adViCeS from the north west leave little doubt of serious inn pairment to corn and wheat. This, however, found but little reflection in grangers, St. Paul and Chicago and Northwestern being firm to strong. Shares of eastern roads, including coal CTS and New Haven, were in better demand than recently. The only con- spicuCus exception in this group was Rock Island, which weakened in the final dealings. Missouri Pacific also manifested pressure.
 Munitions and similar specialties made further advances on the placing of additional foreign contracts, with pronounced strength in U. s. Industrial Alcohol, Baldwin and American Loco motives, CrucibIe Steel and shipping shares. Zinc stocks were in steady de- mand on the improvement shown by foreign markets, but cOppers were dull and without material change. Total sales, 336 900 shares
 PennsyIvania's eastern lines reported an increase in operating income for June of $1,124, 900, with Q gain of $637,- GOO on lines west of Pittsburgh, and Chicago and Northwestern increased S4S0, 900.
 Remittance rates to Europe were virtually unaltered, but better in qu3ry was reported for sterling bills and cables to Berlin.
 Bonds were irregular, with less ac- tivity in AngIC-F7rench and the new French notes. Total sales, par value, $2,87 900.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call,

JOHNSON OVERWHELMS ARMSTRONG
Californian Wins Final Match Longwood and Gains Leg
 on Trophy-Johnson Displayed Fiery Attack.

Boston, Aug. 1.-William M. John ston, of San Francisco, national tennis champion, today won the final match of the I1ongwood Cricket Clubs annual cup tournament by defeating Joseph J. Armstrong of Philadelphia The scores were: so, 6-3, 2-6, 6-2
 By his victory Johnston gained a leg on the trophy as last years win ner, M. E. Mclaughlin, of San Fran cisco, will not defend.
 Johnston's fiery attack OverwheIn- % ed Armstrong in the first two sets. Both at the net and in the back court the champion was invincible when go- ing at top speed, but in the third set he tired rapidly as a result of losing seven and a half pounds in his match against w. M. Washburn under yes terday's brOiling sun. In this set he made little effort to get the deep drives which Armstrong placed in the far corners and the PhiIadeIphian ran the set out in short order.
 Johnston came back strong in the fourth set, however, with tactics just the opposite of ATmstrong's. John ston went after points by the shortest possible route, while Armstrong seem ed content to play the ball cOnServa- lively and trust to his opponents er- TOTS. The Californian had a, wide va riety of strokes, while Armstrong showed only two that were effective, a back hand slice and a fCrehand chop. The Philadelphian went up to the net only seven times and almost every time he was passed by a light ming shot from JOhnston's racquet Johnston won ten of his service games and lost five while Armstrong won six and lost ten.
 Johnston's name is the first to be engraved on the new Longwood cup which must be won three times, not necessarily in succession, before it passes out of competition.

White sox pent Red sox.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-Chicago cut down Boston's lead today by winning a dou- bIe header from Philadelphia, to and to ?, while Boston won from Detroit. The standing is: Boston won 55, lost 40, percentage .579: Chicago won 57, lost 42, percentage .576r In games won and lost the teams are practically tied, the White Sox having played one more game than the Red SOX.
 In the initial game RusseITs fine pitching, with good fielding, prevented the visitors from scoring, while the locals punched hits off Majors.
 Scott started the second game, but was unable to hold the Athletics and was succeeded by DanfOrth in the fourth with one run in, two on and none out. A double play checked the rally and Danforth held Philadelphia safe after that The locals won as a result of Myers WiIdness, coupled with oppOrtune hitting.
