FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET CLOSED QUIET.
Reading Issues Were the Outstanding
 Features of the Session.

New York, Feb. 29.-For a brief pe- riod of today's trading, notably In the active first hour, the market bade falr to make further substantial recoVerles from it's pronounced depression Of re- cent sessions. Gains in that time ranged from one to over three points in standard shares, with far greater advances in speculative issues.
 The buying power seemed to run its course before midday, however, after which prices evinced a marked ten dency to react. This was especially true of the munitions group and allied shares. The recession was accompanied by news of the sinking of a French transport, together with semi official intimations that too much had been taken for granted in overnight adVices regarding relations between Washing ton and Berlin.
 In any event, the dragging final hour witnessed a moderate but general re- Vival of the downward trend in which liquidation proved no less potent than short selling. Representative stocks, including rails and United States Steel, shaded moderately from early maxi nuns, retaining little or none of their advantage at the heavy close. Reading issues were again the out standing features, the common stock being not only the most active issue of the day but adding two points to yesterdays advance, while the first and second preferred shares, ordinarily | very inactive, also made smart gains though falling away at the end. Dealings were far below yesterday large overturn, but embraced an un- usually large number of stocks. Ii was regarded as significant, however that dormant issues were most promi- nent on the decline. Total sales amounted to 0,00O shares. | Some encouragement was derived during the morning from the ffrmeI | tendency of Anglo French war bonds which retrieved much of yesterdays reversal, only sto relinquish virtually all their gain at the end. Offerings o1 this important issue were in smaller volume.
 | Exchange markets were very dull with no material change from prevail l ing quotations. Rubles were firm 1T connection with the approaching com.
 pletion of the Russian loan, the
 amount of which is yet to be deter

HfNKEY SHOLD MAKE
 FINE FOOTBALL COACH.
Has Original Methods of Doping Out
 Good Plays.

''wen, what do you dope it, a rush
 The questioner slid into a vacant press stand seat beside the writer, during the second half of a Palmer Memorial Stadium football game last fall, and just as the Princeton team moved into the kick formation which Coach Rush, with due forewarning, had copied from Percy Haughton's notebook, says Charles Parker.
 For several years the formation of Harvards gridiron plays. End runs, line smashes, forward passes, punts, drop-kicks, criss-cros plays-all had been executed from this identical for nation, to the average observer, gave not the slightest indication of what method of advancing the ball was to be utilized. Universally 1t was, and, in fact, still Is regarded as tn eclev- crest and most difficult-to-solve for mation in modern football, and the question put to the writer undoubtedly was voiced by thousands of those who occupied the Palmer stadium stands.
 Tt has the appearance of a punt to me-" remarked the writer.
 You're right, it will be a punt. But how did you dope it?" came from the questioner, just as Fullback Driggs' boot sent the pigskin -rocketing through the air.
 From the positions and actions of the Princeton halfbacks and ends," was my reply.

 ADDRESS ON PREPAREDNESS
Introduces Bill to Supply Government
 With Guns and Ammunition.

Washington. Feb. 29.-Representa- i've Tilson of Connecticut, of the house military committee, addressed the house today on a feature of the pre- paredness plans on which he has dwelt at length in committee hearings. Back ing up his remarks with exhibits from various arsenals, he said that while there were hundreds of gun and am munition factories in operation in this country, none but government plants were prepared to produce the weapons and cartridges needed by the Ameri- can army.
 A bill to provide for the manufacture of special tools and fixtures to make the necessary changes in privately owned machines has been introduced by MT. Tilson. H eestimated 1t would cost from $15,o00 to s20.000. but de- clared that unless such a step were taken the country could not supply within a year the guns and ammuni- ton for single great battle. With the fixtures on hand, he said, a month would see an amply supply produced.

He has been mayor of St. Louis, governor of Mis- souri and secretary of the interior in President Cleveland's second cabinet. MT.

use of 1t in trade for something that per-
haps Is more desirable for one of his

In reality the car is just worth what
the secondhand automobile dealer will
give for it according to the demand that

Of car. There are naturally some
machines that are worth more than
others secondhand. Now the car is
very popular seller and the manufac-

it requires diplomacy to break the news

administered the first knockout ever
suffered by Phil Bloom, the rugged
Brooklyn lightweight. After this
came a knockout victory over Jimmy
Murphy. who previously had outboxed
Freddie Welsh, Johnny Dundee, and
Young Shugrue.
These three knockouts-each unex-
pected-haye established a reputation
as knockout for Benjamin Leonard.
And Ben keeps improving with each
bout. Only a few weeks ago he out
fought Johnny Dundee. Welsh may
consent to take on Leonard, but not
for a few months at the least. Freddie
has been living too irregular to en-
gage in a hard fight without several
weeks training.
The beauty about Mr.. Leonard is
that he does not have to amputate a
leg or even shave an eyelash to make
l33 pounds ringside. That is more
than Freddie Welsh can do.
The other prominent lightweight
person is young MiIburn saylor. His
ive-round knockout OF Leach Cross,
the hardy New York veteran, boosted
Saylor's stock almost on a par with
that Of Leonard. but for an unfor-
tunate aftermath.
Saylor contracted a cold the night
Of the Cross bout. 1t developed into
pneumonia, and for a few days his
life was despaired of. Fortunately
Saylor fought of the dread illness,
but not until he had lost twenty

By PETER P. CARNEY.

Trapshooting from aeroplanes seems to
appeal especially TO the women shooters.
Several weeks ago Annie Oakley CAdrs.
Frank E. Butler) tried hitting the mani
mate clays from one OF Uncle SANS air
ships while flying over Atlantic City,
y. J., at the rate Of a mile minute, and
more recently Mrs. Ada SchiIling, Of Port
land, Ore, attempted to annihilate a lot
OF clay targets while in an aeroplane
crossing the Willamette River. II this
keeps up aerOplane trspshooting will not
be looked upon as a novelty.
Some time back A. 3. Thaw, the
aviator, purchased a hand-trap, and had
it attached to his aeroplane, 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 wind. May
be he doesn't break as many as he would
II he was on the ground. but Thsw seems
to ike the sport better in the air. Trap
shooting will never be as popular from
the aerop4ane as on the ground for
every one hasn't the means to live up to
an aeroplane, 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 direction 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. going as fast in the
same direction as the target, sometimes
passed the target before she could get
perfecr am. She modified this some
The Washington herald., 1916-03-27

what by rigging up the trap so that the
target would be thrown in the air and
a trifle to one side, but no matter how
cult to hit when the airship is moving
along fifty to sixty miles an hour.
Mrs Schilling said that she enjoyed the
air trip immensely and that she was
happy to try the experiment again. Mrs,
Schilling is the leading amateur woman
trapshooter on the Pacific coast and one
OF the best in the United States. Only
recently has she taken up her home in
Portland. She was formerly connected
with the Blue Rock Club, of San Jose,
Cal In the 1915 averages Of the Inter-
state Association for the Encoura cement
of Trapshooting, Mrs. Schilling was 18th
on list of S,4e0 shoters. She had an
average OF s7.07, breaking Ais out of AZ
targets in registered shoots.
Mrs Schilling Is the wife OF Carl j.
Schilling, an expert shot also. The little
woman, for she is but four feet eleven
inches IN height, and weighs only ninety
five pounds, Is one of the most popular
trequenters of the trapshooting tourna-
ments Of the Western States. She holds
her own at all times with the male shoot
ers. She uses 12-gauge gun and the
men wonder at her endurance IN the
tournament matches Mrs SchiIling is
further handicapped in comparison with
the male shooters through the necessity
OF using light load. With light load
the shot-spread is less and her aim must
be truer In order to break the BIRD
before It gets out Of range.

heavyweight champion that will retire

WINGED the army of spectators that there
Is no dangerous rival In sight. Again
the champion declares positively that
when two years pass he Is through with
lighting Only a miracle will produce

time.
There is one other point about the big
fellow that will aid his retirement. He
is growing so immense that it is certain
he viii hover around the 30o-pound mark
within few months. He packs on flesh
so rapidly that II he doesn't get steady
strenuous exercise he will grow out Of
the heavyweight championship. With
the circus, the work is monotonous
grind and not anything that will keep
the champion from adding rolls OF fat to
his body.
When Willard fights again all indi-
cations are that 1t will be a twenty -round
affair, probably down in New Orleans.
Before the Moran scrap was settled the
champion was practically signed up to
fight Fred Fulton In New Orleans. A
date had been virtually promised the
Southern promoters for next winter. but
no opponent has been decided upon.
Moran is naturally clamoring for an
other match. At the present writing he
heads the list of eligibles and it appears
as If he will cling to that eminence for
some time. II there Is a demand for a
return match Willard will oblige. The
champion has said right along that his

entrance. Judging from his lucrative

CHAMPION IS OFF TO FILL
CIRCUS CONTRACTING RETURN BATTLE

New York, March 26.-Jess Willard,
our heavyweight champion, left this big
town flat this afternoon. The titIeholder
made fast tracks to Chicago to greet his
family, from which he has been absent
for four weeks, His hurry to get home
is due to the fact that an interesting
event is expected to happen in the Will
lard family any day. Willard was ac-
companied by Walter Monahan and Jack
Hemple two of his trainers.
Willard departed with his right hand
encased in splints. Immediately after his
battle last night the champion rushed to
his hotel, where his doctor was awaiting
him. A thorough examination disclosed
that two of the small bones in his hand
were broken. They were set properly
and then the big hand was sandwiched
between two boards. The doctor declared
that in about three weeks the hand will
be perfect.
His leave-taking was that of a con-
quering hero When he and his party
arrived at the Pennsylvania depot a vast
mob was on hand to boiler "good-by."
The big fellow in his usual modest man
ner kept under cover until 1t was time
to enter the train. There was a dash
across the macadam floor; a scoot down
TIE IRON SldlIo anu JtSS Oll
Gotham soil. He will arrive in Chicago
about noon tomorrow, and will then rest
up until he has to go out on the circus
circuit.
His engagement with the circus calls
for thirty weeks of work, for which he
will receive a guarantee of $500 per day
with a percentage OF the receipts. The
tent show opens on April %, and his en-
gagement will keep him busy until the
middle OF November. His showing will
be done in the middle of the Far West.
