Women Take Keen Interest
in Attempting to Pulver-

~RAPsHOOTING

~RAPSHOOTING from airplanes
seems to appeal especially TO the
u women shooters. Several weeks
ago Annie oakley (Nrs. Frank L. But
ler). tried hitting the inanimate clays
from one of Uncle Sans airships while
flying over Atlantic City. y. j.. at the
rate of a mile minute, and more re-
Gently Mrs. Ada Schilling OF Portland,
ore, attempted to anihilate n lot OF
clay targets while in an airplane cross
ing the Willamette river.
Some time back a. +. Thaw, the ayi-
ator, purchased a hand trap and had it
attached TO his airplane. and he likes
nothing better than to blaze away at
the targets two or three hundred feet
in the air. travelling as fast as the
wnid. Maybe he doesn't break as MANY
as he would if he was on the ground,
but Thaw seems to like the sport bet
ter in the air. Trap shooting. viii
never b rs popular from the airplane
as on the ground. for every one hasn't
the means to live up TO an airplane,
nor the time to practice the managing
Of one.
Mrs. Butler discovered that she had
to shoot very quickly much quicker
than on the ground. for the airship
and the target going in the same di-
rectiOn didn't give her time to raise the
gun and aim. Mrs Schilling. too. had
her difficulties in breaking the blue
rocks She found that the airship, GO
ing so fast in the same direction as
the target. some times passed the
target before she could get perfect
aim. She modified this somewhat by
rigging up the trap so that the target ,
would be thrown in the air and
trifle to one side, but no matter how
the targets are thrown they are diff
cult to hit when the airship is moving
so to so miles an hour.
Mrs. Schilling said that she enjoyed
the air trip immensely and that she |
was happy to try the experiment again. /
Mrs. Schuling is the leading amateur
woman trapshooter on the Pacific

THORPE May YET
Be A BATSNAN
McGraw, Having Faith in
the Weak Hitting Indian,
Changes His Style.

New York, March 25.-Jim Thorpe,
the Sac and Fox Indian, Olympic prize
winner, and one of the greatest IootDall
PLAYERS that ever donned gFidiron ar

major league baseball diamond.
Without question one of the greatest
athletes ever developed in America. or

Thorpe has made name Tor hlmselI IN
track and field sports, lacrOss, football
and college baseball II was not until
he undertook to play the latter game
in the big leagues that he found sport
wherein he failed to shine with his ac-
customed brilliancy.
Fresh from his Olympic triumphs at
Stockholm and the subsequent sensa-
tional stripping away of those hOnors

charge that he was a professional
Thorpe was signed to play with tho

manager John J. McGraw-

From the very beginning the redskin

and on the bases. fielded well, but was
absolutely helpless before the curved
uitchine, of the big league box stars.
Given a straight ball across the heart
of the plate Thorpe, with his powerful
arms and shoulders could and did lift
the ball over the center fielder's head
with great regularity. The trouble was
that the pitcher never MADE 6uCn q MIS-
take but once. Thereafter Thorpe got
nothing but curved pitching and the In
dian swung on the slants in vain.
Drifted Into Minors.
The Indian drifted from the major
league in the minors, and even there,
his helplessness at the plate caused him
to he cast aside for a less sensational
PLAYER who could bat in the pinches.
Through II all McGraw held firm TO
his belief that eventually Thorpe would
master the art Of lifting a curved de-
livery. This spring McGraw decided to
give him another chance with the
Giants at the training camp at Marlin,
Texas.
There the Redman was persuaded 70

to the plate. and at once decided

In his new position he showed ability
to connect with the best Of the early
spring curves and his admirers have
taken hope.
If 1t is demonstrated that Thorpe
batting left-handed can land on the ball
with his heavy black war club there is
a place for him with the Giants and
McGraw's judgment will have been
indicated. If it is proved however
that il is but a flash Of batting ability
then Thorpe and the big league will
part company forever

The "Y" boys have a trine over a
