GENERAL PHYSICAL
EXERCISE FAVORED

New York, April DISCRIMINATION OF
championships in amateur athletic
contests during the war and the hold
ing of competitions on such basis as
to interest all citizens in systematic
exercise for the improvement of their
physical condition were advocated in
meeting of representatives from lead
ing amateur sport governing bodies.
The resolutions stated that the
youth of the nation should be en-
couraged to become physically fit and
mentally alert, through the stimulus
of athletic competition. and that every
effort should be made to interest all
citizens in the improvement of their
physical condition by systematic cXcr-
else and participation in sport, but
that by reason of the state of war
now existing it is not advisable to
hold championship events at any date
subsequent to a call of the government
for volunteers or the enactment and
operation of bill for compulsory
service
The meeting was attended by Of
ficials of the United States National
Lawn association, the United States
Golf association; the Amateur Ath-
letic Union of the United States and
the Intercollegiate Athletic assoca
ton.

Another Instance.

y few days ago we had a long talk
with Napoleon Lajoic, the eminent
French Batting Eye, about the UNI

There has never been anything in
baseball like it," he said. "and it has
lasted for over 10 years. There may be
no such thing as Il Hoodoo-but, what
over it is, it certainly gets on your
nerves when you see star players
hurt year after year by the quccrest
sort of accidents and INJURIES
There was the case Of Joe Birming-
ham. The Cleveland club had been
bat. cred and broken by Fate for three
straight years. In this particular cam

than two weeks.
Finally, Joe Birmingham was signed.

Envoy of Club Owners Reaches Agreement With Players
 Fraternity.

Word has gone forth to members of the Baseball Players Frater- nifty that the threatened baseball strike had been called off by Pres ident David L. Fultz of the play CTS organization. Fultz came to this decision after he had received the assurance of President Tener of the National League that the league would not discriminate "in any way, shape or manner" against any ball player because of his con- nection with the fraternity,
 The American Leagues schedule meeting was held in New York and there also was meeting of the national commission. It was an Inounced that there will be no ses- sion of the joint rules committee, consequently the 1917 pennant race will be decided under the rules of last season.
 President Fultz issued the fol- lowing statement:
 owing to the unfair position in which the major league. owners have been placed in the present baseball controversy between own CTS and players, the fraternity sub- mitted to the owners the following proposal:
 ITO release all players from their pledges not to sign contracts upon the understanding that the owners will not discriminate against | fraternity players nor discipline them for their loyalty to the fra. ternity in observing their pledges. .' The other day Manager McGraw

Coast Planning Big Trap Shoot.
 TrapshoOters from all points on the Pacific Slope are expected to come to San Jose, Cal, May 2 to 30, for the annual Pacific Coast Handicap, one of five regional na- tional shoots conducted each year in the United States under the auspices of the Interstate Trap shooters Association.
 O. M. Ford, secretary and man. agcr of the San Jose Blue Rock Club, under whose auspices the shoot is held, has announced that he has received replies from enough individuals and clubs to guarantee that 15O shooters will participate in the Pacific Coast Handicap, at 100 targets, which will be the big feature of the meeting and which will be shot off May 30. There will be more than $1,4OO in cash prizes in this event alone.
 Nln addition to the entrance mon ey which goes to the winning shoot CTS, the club is offering $1,2OO add ed money in the various events. Ford said he had discounted prom ises by 40 per cent in estimating the attendance. but he expects the entry list to grow between now and

the shoot until about 200 shooters line up in the Pacific Coast Han dicap.
 Western shooters at the blue rock game are in the same position as ball players in regard to aver ages. Weather conditions in Coast cities, especially California, make it possible to run the clubs the year around and consequently the best shots sometimes shoot twice as large total in a year as Eastern opponents of trapshooting. How ever, under the rules of the 4nter- state association, the shooter has his average figured on a minimum of 2,000 shots.
 In the trapshooters' averages just made public, Fred Barlow, of Ne- wark, O., leads all the rest with .9771 per cent. of his targets bro- ken. But he shot only 2,O10 shots. On the other hand, O. NJ. Ford, of San Jose, broke .9431 per cent. of his targets and shot at 6,5S0 targets, more than three times as many as the leader. Western shooters hold that there should be some recognition of the total shots fired in computing the leadership.
