TRAP IL.
and ~ M,
FIELD EA
By PETER P. CARNEY.

A new, though logical, development
OF the sport of trapshooting is the
forming OF Junior" clubs as auxil-
iaries of trapshooting clubs.
Naturally, the ranks of the boys
organizations are largely recruited
from the families OF members of the
senior clubs.
The pioneer in the movement was
the Columbus (Ohio) Gun club, and
the plan worked so successfully that
many other trapshooting clubs
throughout the country have adopted
the idea.
Aside from the perfectly natural de-
sire of the average American boy to
shoot, there is no sport better adapted
to the development Of manly qualities
than trapshooting.
Perhaps no other game requires so
much OF such rapid headwork as the
breaking Of the clay skimmers.
An analysis OF the apparently SIM
pie act of hitting the flying target
shows that it includes a certain de-
gree of courage to fire the shot;
quick judgment in deciding the angle
of fight and elevation, the effect Of
wind in DETECTING the target from its
normal course. and equally rapid &C
ton in following, leading, etc, and
firing the charge
Steadiness, cool-headiness, nerve,
judgment and physical control result
from regular work at the traps.

Only Three Large
Ring Combats Are
Held During Year

Professional and amateur boxing has
had one of its most successful years
in the history of the sport, Although
no unusual activity in defending their
coveted laurels was shown by any OF
the champions of the various classes
the last year saw a booming in the
sport in all parts of the country where
boxing is conducted, and this condi-
ton gives promise of continuing
throughout the coming year.
Two champions of the professional
ranks have defended successfully their
titles against aspiring rivals in long
bouts. They arc Freddie Welsh
leader OF the lightweight division, and
Johnny Kilbane, the premier feather
weight. Welsh retained the honors
against Charley White OF Chicago
and Kilbane clearly demonstrated his
superiority in the featherweight class
by knocking out George Cheney. his
most formidable challenger. Mike
Gibbons, recognized as the leading
middleweight of the country. had lit
tie competition during the last year,
his most notable bout being with
Jack Dillon, which the St Paul boxer
won handily. The only bout in which
the worlds heavyweight champion,
Jess Willard, was called upon to de-
Send his title was his memorable con-
test with Frank Moran. The cham
pion displayed one-sided superiority.
In the other classes there has been
dearth of championship competi-
ton, although plenty of interesting
boxing has been furnished.
officials of the Amateur Athletic
union report one of the greatest box
ing seasons they have had in MANY
years Increased interest has been
shown by the youthful opponents of
the game, and all clubs affiliated with
the Amateur Athletic union in the
promotion OF boxing have reported
flourishing conditions
Early in the year representative of
the country's leading amateur boxers
toured the scandinavian countries and
competed with marked success. The
boxers were William Spengler, Union
Settlement Athletic club; T. Maloney,
Philadelphia, and John kirpinsky,
Cleveland. One notable feature of the
year was the adoption of a law in
New Jersey, permitting amateur box
ing bouts. The result has been re.
newed interest in the sport, and Of
hcials are working hard to bring the
competition up to the standard it oc-
cupies in other states.

Bob Simpson Stars
On the Cinder Path
With Many Records

Track and field athletics fei1 short
of supplying wealth of startling per-
formances, but the ranks OF those
who find their enjoyment in this line
were swelled by many new recruits,
which augurs we'll for the future. The
national championships this year were
held in Newark and proved to be
pronounced success. The athletes of
the Atlantic seaboard, however, were
not so successful as in several past
seasons. Many of the trophies this
year were carried away by western
rivals.
Probably the most praiscworthy
feat of the season was the accomplish
ment by Robert Simpson Of the Uni
versity OF Missouri. who established
new worlds record mark of IA 3-5
seconds for the l20-yard high hurdles.
Ted Meredith placed his name to two
worlds marks, one the quarter mile
distance around turn in AZ rs sec
onds and the other the half mile in
80 is.
Probably this department of sport
is the only one of the year with the
tang of international contest A team
of Americans, among them Meredith,
Fred Murray, Joe Loomis, Andy
Ward and Simpson, made a tour OF
the Scandinavian countries with no.
table success. Meredith was the only
one to fall below standard, defeat
claiming him number of times.
Cornell once more proved in COL
lege athletics Jack Moakley is supreme
as coach. The Ithacans won the
annual track and field championships
at Cambridge and triumphed in the
intercollegiate cross-country run at
New Haven a few weeks ago.

Syracuse Crews
Lead All Schools
At River Rowing

Out Of the mass of victories and de-
feats that the college crews en-
countered in the season of 1916 stands
the triumph of jim Ten Eyck's SYRIA
cuse eight at Poughkeepsie. In the
early part OF the year the Princeton
crew doomed up as the best through
its victories over Yale and Harvard,
and its defeat of winning the Childs
cup regatta from Annapolis, Columbia
and Pennsylvania on the Schuylkll.
But the decisive defeat that was ad-
minstered to the Tiger oarsmen by
Courtney's Cornell eight on Lake
Cayuga more than clouded their title
to supremacy.
Syracuse won at Poughkeepsie in a
manner that left little doubt as to the
best crew of the year. The disciples
of odd Jim" Ten Eyck also accounted
for the junior eight event at Pough-
keepsie, and the same varsity boat
that won the big race had previously
defeated the Naval academy on the
Severn. Princeton had the strongest
crew that has represented the Tiger
institution in some years. The oars
men of Old Nassau also defeated Har-
ward decisively on Lake Carnegie.
Cornell had varied fortunes and mis-
fortunes. The Courtney crew won a
brilliant victory over Princeton and
Yale at Ithaca, but their defeat at
Poughkeepsie. where they were re-
garded as possible winners. and their
utter rout at the. hands of Harvard on
the Charles, left large blot on their
1916 record. Although Harvard lost
to Princeton, the dearest wish of the
Cambridge undergraduates was full
filled when the Yale varsity eight
was distanced at New London in the
annual race.
In amateur rowing the Duluth boat
club once more swept the field in the
national championship regatta, win
ming almost everything in sight ex-
cept the champion single SOULS event,
which was captured by Tom Rooney
of the Ravenswood Boat club after
many years of fruitless endeavor.

of Herzog, Zimmerman. Rariden,
Holke and Sallee, together with the
great pitching Of two of the regu-
lars, Schupp and Tesreau, aided the
Giants in their record-breaking feat.
The Brooklyn club, winner OF the
National league pennant, played con-
sistent, although not brilliant, ball all
season Under the guidance of Viii
bert Robinson the team stuck ever
lastingly to its task and won the flag
by a narrow margin of couple of
decimal points. 1t was a great race
between the Dodgers. the Phillies and
the Braves right to the end OF the sea-
son.
Much OF the time it was anybody
race, and not one OF the three clubs
had enough advantage to gloat about.
During the last two weeks of the race
the outcome was a toss-up, but when
the Giants visited Brooklyn for the
final series of the season and cracked
after their great winning streak,
Brooklyn benefited by the Giants
downfall and won out. The downfall
OF the Giants was the occasion OF an
uprising of John J. McGraw against
his players. He left the field in dis
gust and refused to be a party to the
indifferent performance of the Giants
against Brooklyn.
The American league race was just
as thrilling as the National league
event, and for weeks it was hot
fight between Boston, Chicago and
Detroit. 1t was the fine work OF the
Boston pitching staff that finally car
ried the Red Sox through, under the
management OF Bill Carrigan. Bos-
ton finished strong and won by a
greater margin than Brooklyn en-
joyed in the older league. For the
first time in years Ty Cobb of Detroit
was beaten for the honor of cham
pion batsman, Iris Speaker of Cleve-
land landing the honor. Babe Ruth
of Boston carried off the pitching
honors of the league.
Brooklyn was badly outclassed in
the worlds series, Boston winning
four games out of FIVE. The first two
games were played in Boston. The
second game was the best OF the
series, going to fourteen innings be-
fore being won by Boston by score
OF 2 to |.
The third and fourth games were
played in Brooklyn and the Dodgers
only victory was in the third game,
which they won, 4 to 3. The big
base ball classic was a record breaker
for fvc-gamc series, the total at
tendance being 1884, while the total
receipts were 1920, 36l.S0. The players
of the winning club won $3,826.2s
each, while the losing Brooklyn play
ers received S2.64545 each

Association Teams
To PLAY YOUNGSTERS

Gossip in base ball circles is to the
effect that American association mag
mates believe they have at last discov-
cred system by which their burden
some payrolls can be materially de-
creased without cntailing hardships
on fans who support the game.
The scheme in brief, it is said, will
require every club in the circuit to
carry certain number of young play
ers who have never before played in a
class "A" circuit
Owners Norton, St. Paul; Cantillon,
Minneapolis; Timme, Milwaukee, and
McGill, indianapolis, are said to be in
favor of it and Colonel Wathen of
Louisville is reported as favorably dis
posed. The men in charge OF the plan
may decide on the number of recruits
by the time OF the scheduled meeting,
February "a. The number of recruits
may be limited TO seven and if this is
looked upon as too many may be re-
duccd to FIVE OF even four.

EVANS GAINS DUAL

Chicago Crack Performs IN.
precedented Feat in Win
ming Both Titles.
BARNES IS THE PRO CHAMP

OF all sports golf probably enjoyed
the banner year. The outstanding
feature was the performance of Chick
Evans in winning both the national
open title and the national amateur
crown. This was feat never before
performed in this country, and only
once have the two corresponding
English championships been won by
the same man. Many have striven
in other years to the same end that
Evans reached. among them Ouimet
and Travers, but they fell short OF
the double conquest Both were
holders OF the open championship,
but in the year OF this victory they
were unsuccessful in the amateur
classic.
Up to this year Evans had often
been to the forefront in the play for
the amateur championship, but it was
always snatched from his grasp. In
the final round at Merton he encoun-
tered Bob Gardner, then the holder

SOCIALIST LOCAL GETS
LEGACY FROM MEMBER

The Socialist Local Of liaVerhill,
Mass, has lost one of it's most active
workers in the death of Comrade
Nora c. Smith. Though not enjoying
the best Of health, Comrade Smith
was an enthusiastic and willing work
or, one of those women who saw the
wider motherhood that will come
when society is based on fraternity
and the common veal.
She had great faith in the ultimate
victory of the working class and be-
fore her death gave a striking ex-
ample of her faith and devotion. She
was not wealthy, being one of the
working class and having to partici-
pate in the struggle for bread. imag-
inc, then, the emotion of her surviv-
ing comrades when her husband,
Comiade James G. Smith, also mem
Der of the Local, presented to the
llaverhll Central Socialist Club a
check for 500 as legacy from his
late wife to be used for the benefit of
the movement Such gift under
such circumstances and for such a
purpose testifies to a devotion so ut
terly consecrated that words fail to
express the mingled feelings of love,
respect and gratitude that possess her
comrades.
Local Haverhill believes that the
comrades in other states should share
with its members the knowledge of
this gift and the giver, and would
commend the action of Comrade Nora
G.. Smith to the consideration of other
comrades who may want to serve the
movement in this way just before
passing to the Great Beyond. Com
rade Smiths contribution was made
with no desire for publicity, but Lo-
cal Haverhil is reporting it for the
inspiration it may give to others and
also that it may induce others to fol-
low her noble example.

THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFI-
CANOE or PORK CHOPS


Seattle, Wash, Nov. u, 1916.
Editor Northwest Worker:
Dear Comrade Noting the discus
sion in your papef relative to Chris
| tan Socialism am astounded that a
more serious tone has not been taken
1t is no matter for Ievity.
OF course there can be such a thing
as Christian Socialism. And Chris
tan mathematics, biology, geology
and astronomy, to say nothing Of
Christian zoology. 1t logically follows
that there is room in the movement
for Confucian Socialism, Mohammed-
an Socialism, Shinto Socialism, etc,
and as the Buddhists far outnumber
any other religious sect we should ac-
cord first place to Buddhist Socialism
Not only should we organize Chris
tan Socialist Feliowships, but we
should also unite the Hebrews, the
Ingersollians, the Agnostics, the Athe-
lists, the Catholics, the Protestants,
the Holy Rollers, giving our keenest
attention, however, to the upbuilding
of the Christian Science Socialist Eel
lowship.
Oh, how | long for that grand Gay
when lectures on the materialist con-
ception of history form a part Of the
Christian Science service; when the
rabbi in the synagogue will be tell
ing of the spiritual significance of
pork chops; when the Catholic cathe-
drals resound with the praises of
Karl Marx, the man divinely selected
from among Goods chosen people"
to write Das Kapital; and when veg
etarian socialists and prohibition so
cialists unite to pray homage to gen
tie Jesus who "came not to bring
peace but the sword" and who fed
the multitude on fish at such times as
he was not engaged in the business of
turning water into wine.
Socialism, oh Socialism, what
crimes are committed in thy name!
Yours for "undiluted" Socialism,
WALKER C. SMITH.

COUNTRY POPULATION
DON'T LIKE RUSSIANISM

Arlington, Wash, Nov 27, 1916
Northwest Worker:
Dear Comrade-Seeing that my
subscription to the Northwest Worker
has expired, and realizing the neces-
sity of spokesman for the working
I class at this particular time, when the
industrial battle is raging right at
our doors and constitutional rights
are denied to the common people by
foggy-headed officials all over this
broad continent, it becomes the duty
of every worker to furnish our editor
with the necessary ammunition to
keep him loaded with the necessaries
of life. So inclosed find my dollar,
enough for a charge to be fired at the
dirty Cossacks who are attempting
to Russianize Everett. 1t is indeed as
pretty specimen of cave-men you
have before you as can be desired. We
can commence with that labor-organ-
ibzation smasher, Col. Hartley, Co.'S
sack McRae, Dapper Merrill, Politi-
cal Swagger Sam Walker, and that
Shiny Herald editor who always
stands ready to defend and whitewash
their dirty work, but on the other
hand to besmire and belittle the work
ers and hold them up before the peo-
pie as monsters.
If the |. w, w. now penned up in
the Everett bastile ever needed
friends they certainly need them now,
and | hope to see both the Socialists
and organized labor freely give them
their assistance, both morally and fl
financially. If we preach solidarity to
others, it is also our duty to practice
it. While industrial or direct action
might not be the best and proper
method for the Industrial Workers to
adopt as means of obtaining social
and economic freedom, yet as the rul-
ing class has disfranchised the major
ity of the floating population it might
to some extent be excused. 1t is en-
, couraging to hear how the people out
in the country generally sympathize
with the |. W. w. and are ready to
give financial assistance if needed
The condemnation heaped upon the
Everett officials, deputies and mem
bers of your Commercial Club be-
cause of their repeated raids upon the
Industrial Workers proves that the
common people fail to see claw and
order" in gun play, police clubs and
loaded sticks freely used upon work
ers without any other offense than
merely desiring to stay in Everett.
The people call such work anarchy of
the most brutal kind, and your bust
ness men will suffer from associating
themselves in such dastardly work.
Yours fraternally,
H. THORSON.
