New Chemical Engine
Given Demonstration Test

The new Ajax Chemical Fire En-
CINE recently purchased by the Coun-
ty from w. H. Russell has been re-
ceived and a trial test demonstrating
its efficiency in extinguishing a fire
was given this forenoon on Main
street opposite the Courthouse.
A test fire was built of the most
infiammable material o btainabl e
and saturated with coal oil and dis
tillates. together with some old oil
barrels. and the test was very salts
factory.
The chemicals used in putting out
this fire smothered the blaze instant
ly. while if water had been used it
would have spread the oil out over a
considerable area and naturally ex-
tended the fire.
The County has purchased two of
these chemical engines. m of which
will be placed in the Courthouse
in Eureka and the other in the Coun-
ty building at Palisade.

targets than Tappan. He shot at
2,250 of the blue rocks and broke
2,l26.
E. B. Tappan, c. C. Tappan's twin
brother, also made good record for
1916. He shot at 1,340 targets and
broke ,23l for an average of .9l86.

TRAP -: "a
and ~ M1
By PETER p. CARNEY.

Probably the greatest revision in
the rules of the Interstate Associa-
ton for the Encouragement of Trap
shooting made at the recent annual
meeting was the one to permit the
sanctioning of trapshooting tourna-
ments on Sunday.
This change was made at the ur-
gent solicitation of the trapshooters
of those sections where the blue
laws" do not exist. In many of the
states west of the Ohio river. Sum
day is the big day for sporting events
and with the Interstate association
for many years refusing to register a
tournament on the Sabbath hundreds
of the western trapshooters failed to
appear in the official averages of the
Interstate association-said averages
only carrying the names of the shoot
ers who shoot at 1000 or more regis
tered targets during the season.
Now this all is changed. The trap
shots on the Pacific coast seldom
ever broke into the averages under
the old rules OF the Interstate asso-
citation, but under the new ruling they
expect to break in in a very forceful
manner Many places where the gun
clubs held club shoots registered
tournaments will now be held, as
trapshooters will come out for regis
tered tournaments in the western
states on Sunday as thickly as their
fellow shooters in the east do on Sat
urday. The revision of this rule
should go great way in encouraging
trapshooting in the cities and states
where sports are not affected by the
ancient blue laws"

HUSKERS SLIP ONE
OVER ON KANSANS
Jayhawks Start With Rush,
But Nebraska Stars Come
From Behind.
TWENTY ONE TO NINETEEN

Lawrence, Kan, Feb. H.-(Special
Telegram. 1.-The Nebraska Corn
huskers slipped up on the Jayhaw-
kers Friday night by winning the
first of a two-game series, 81 to 10.
The game was close from the start
to finish, but lacked the finished ap-
pearance of conference game. Both
teams played strong defensive game,
depending upon long shots for points.
The Cornhuskers excelled in the
guarding, holding the Jayhawker
forwards to FIVE goals in the entire
game. The Nebraska forwards had
better luck hitting the basket from
the field.
Kansas started scoring in the first
moment of play on Laslett's goal
from the corner of the court. Camp
bell tied the score a moment later
with a long shot. The two teams
played hard and rough for the re-
mainder of the period, Nebraska
leading at the end of the half, 7 to 6.
In the second half Kansas took
the lead holding it until near the
end of the game. The Jayhawkers
showed a poor brand of basket ball
in the entire game. Coach Hamilton
sent in three substitutes, but they
proved ineffective. Campbell, right
forward, and Riddell, guard, starred
for the visitors. Campbell made nine
points while Riddell played a strong
game at guard. Urhlaub was the star
of the Kansas team. The last game
of the series will be played here to-
morrow night

points behind and finished two points

seven run after the block appeared
lost. The block score was 313 for
Chambers and 248 for Symes, making
the grand total for three blocks $50
for Chambers and 74S for Symes.
Chambers averaged S, with high
runs of AZ, 26 and l6, and Symes
averaged a, with high runs of 10, 10
and Is.

added that this was a matter Of which
the officials of the National asso-
citation would take charge. He also
said that in case of the United States
becoming involved in war, the under
standing was that all minor leagues
would open the season as usual and
the question of suspending play would
be decided later.

National Singles Will

New York, Feb. 1.-According to
official announcement Thursday, Au-

ing day of the national singles tennis
championship tournament to be held
at the West Side club, Forest Hills,
Long Island. The officers of the
United States National Lawn Tennis
association state that an effort is to
be made this year to group the big
tournaments so that players may
compete for the national doubles
championship and the national sin
gtes championship in the shortest
period that can be allotted and do
justice to both events. As the dou-
bles championship is to be decided
in one tournament, to be held at
Longwood, it is felt that snch an ar

larly with players from the south and
middle west, who might not care to
spend the time that long campaign
