TRAP TALES THAT ARE WORTHY
Sousa, Greatest of 6andmasters, Tom Marshall and Fred Gilbert, Pro Trap

Many are the tales told among trapshooters about members of the clan and their doings. Two of the stories that have gone the rounds of the trap fraternity are given here. John Philip Sousa., the bandmaster, and Fred Gilbert, the professional trapshot, are friends of long stand ing. Sousa at a dinner given in Gill; bert's honor, told of his first meeting with Fritz and the proposal that Gilbert teach SotTsa how to shoot clay pigeons, in return, for which instruc- tion Sousa was to teach Gilbert the most approved way to play a bass drum.
 As the music master told it, Fritz had confided his great ambition to be- come the bass drummer of the Silver Concert Band or Spirit Lake, Iowa, his home town, while. on the other hand, Sousa told Gilbert that since he was known among trapshooters as musician, he was desirous of making a reputation among musicians as a trap shooter.
 The terms were accepted by both -he party of the first part and the party of the second part, and instruc- tion began. However. according to Sausa, while Gilbert quickly mastered the boom. boom beats on the drum, he has never succeeded in progressing to the bumpety. boom. boom stage, and the s. c. B. of Spirit Lake. still needs Q bass drummer.
 
 tribute to the great musician as pupil and Fritz Gilbert as an in structor.
 MarshaIPs Early Education.
 The "hero" of this narrative is Tom Marshall, the dean of trapshooting and the games official orator."
 When the All-American trapshoot- ing team returned from England, af- ter having defeated the best shooting talent of the British Isles, Captain Marshall. with several of his team mates, toured a number of states giv- ing exhibitions of shooting skill in an effort to popuiarize trapshooting
 Captain Marshall acted as spokes- man of the missionaries" and pre- faced his explanation of :ise sport with a few well chosen words Tn which he paid tribute to the particular city in which the demonstration was held
 We are told that among the things he said was, It is wilh peculiar pleas ure that come here to -; a place SO intimately associated with my ear ly days, for it was in the little red school house over wonder. (there is aI- little R. S.-over wonder in every section) that I learned my a, c's."
 This neat Mttle "bull" invariably made a hit and was given liberal space in the newspapers of the newspapers of the towns until the editors through their exchanges-discovere that Tom" had learned his "a, b, c's" at least. twenty-five times in as many different places.
 It IS needless to say that thereafter Captain Marshall never made reference to his early education.

feeling pretty good. We didn't have
time to set up our tents as it was

ground in the mess hall. The eli
mate is about the same as it is there
at this time of year. but the evenings
are much damper, SO the nights rest
was not the best.
I'VE have been in nearly every
branch of the service since arriving.
We came in as infantry, were placed
in an artillery regiment. then in a
mule train, and the latest is hat we
form a part of a truck company. To-
day the company was divided into
two parts, each of which will be one
of the six parts of a truck supply
train.
Everybody is feeling fine now and
all are anxious to do something.
About all we have done so far is TO
fix up camp, etc.
Camp Green, as near as | can
learn, is a tract of land, 10 by 16
miles, and is being built up as fast
as possible. There are at present
about 10000 troops here, and more
coming every day. The camp was
mostly a wooded tract. and is being
cleared. as it is built up and the trees
are being used as wood. There were
some pieces cleared before the camp
was established, and cotton, tobacco
and sugar cane was raised. The
camp itself is rather level, but Ground
us it is rather mountainous as we are
just beyond the foothills.
