sensational. and one of the best
exhibitions seen in that city this sea-
son. Winters was a big factor,
tanning nine men. He let his op-
ponents down with four hits. Har-
risburg hit Kershner in punches in
two innings. Thompson's high run
ming catch shutting off two runs for
Reading was a big feature.

TRAP SHOOTING
SAFEST SPORT
NO ACCIDENTS

tinuing the marvellous recod of the
last quarter Gentry. In this connec-
ton Jack Tanning, of New York,
offers the following rules, the OBJ
servance of which will prevent acci-
dents or incidents to mar the pleas
ure of contestants aMc spectators:
1. Do not place a cartridge in your
gun except when standing at the
liring line in your proper place in
the squad and with the muzzle of
the gun pointed in the direction of
the trap house.
2. Place only one cartridge in your
gun when shooting single targets and
but two cartridges when shooting
double targets.
3. When changing from position
No. 3 to position No. / at the firing
line be sure to have your gun open
and unloaded
4. When pointing a gun in the
clubhouse or in the shooting
grounds always open the gun and in
spect same before pointing.
5. Do not question the referees
decision. The person shooting is the
least competent to judge the result
of a shot as the reaoil of the gun for
an instant impairs the vision.
Avoid being late getting to your
place on the firing line.
z. Remain at your position at the
firing line with gun empty until the
last mn has finished shooting.
s. Do not converse with your
neighbor while at the firing line nor
use any expression tht might dis
concert others in the squad. Loud
talking or other noises should not be
indulged in by other contestants or
spectators while a squad is shooting
so that they can hear same.
8. Do not refuse a fair taget. In
competition refused target is
scored or counted Lost" The ref.
cree will decide what is a fair or
unfair target.
10. Do not shoot at an imperfect
target in competition. Only whole
targets are to be shot at. An i'm
perfect target is mo bird"
II. Always carry from two to four
extra shells with you to the firing
line so that you do not delay the
shooting in case you have to shoot at
other targets on account of shooting
at imperfect targets. ETC.. etc.

Despite the fact that guns and
powder are necessary requisites of
trapshootlng, the sport is singularly
free from accidents, in this respect
being far in advance of football,
baseball, golf or even tnnis.
Ihe reason for the absence of ac-
cldents Is the fact that the very first
thlng impressed upon the mind of a
new shooter is that the careless han
ding OF 4 shotgun is exceedingly
dangerous both to users and those
near or within 100 yards of him.
The management of most trap
shooting clubs provide fines for the
infraction of certain rules relative to
the intelligent and safe handling of
shotguns. A second offense usually
means expulsion from club member
ship.
DR.. Robert E. Coughlin, writing in
the New York Medical Journal saws
that 943 lives were sacrificed on the
helds OF athletic endeavor in the
ten years from 1905 to 1915, inclu-
sive. Not one death is attributed to
trapshooting-i nfact there has not
been an accident in the quarter CEN

more thought one gives to this state

twenty-five years of trapshooting
and not an accident. 1t seems in

targets each year you would think
that something would go wrong some

make the assertion that trapshoot-
