CARRIGAN DOES
NOT LIKE CHANGE

Boston. Feb 6.-Bill Carrigan. ra.
tired manager OF the Boston Ped Soy,
worlds champions, is opposed to
changes in the baseball Jules. In this
ne Is opposed by Percy Haughton.
president Of the Boston Braves who
would make sweeping change in the
code governing the players of the
national game.
You don't hear many managers or
umpires recommending that this or
that rule be changed. do youo" asked
Carrigan by way of indirect answer to
a suggestion that raft of baseball
folks were chipping in many ideas OF
rule changes.
As far as | have been able to find
out the owners and the newspapers
are responsible FOR whatever talk
there is about baseball needing new
rules.
Fans like the game as it is today
When they start complaining it will
be time to consider what changes
should be made.
| believe fans do want the games to
be PLAYED as rapidly as possible. May.
be the big league games are just =
little too long. Let every one in the
game hurry a little"

made necessary by the dropping out

Clark was paired with Eddie, Mad

had been turned down when the field
was limited to twelve teams to fac'I'-

Chapman contends that this chance

The Sports Corner
TRAPSHOOTING
= WHAT 1T is

In general trapshooting consists Of
shooting with shotgun at targets
thrown from traps. The targets. or
pigeons, are composed Of river silt and
tar, nodded into shape similar to
that of a saucer. These are impelled
by the releasing of strong spring
when the word pull is called to the
trap boy.
The shooters, in squads usually of
five, take their places sixteen or more
yards in the rear of the traps and
shoot in rotation.
Your skilled trapshooter is a fellow
judgment, and unfaltering action. In
the majority of cases these positive
manly qualities were as latent in the
trapshooters as they are in the aver
age man, until the devotee of the trap
and gun took up this most fascinating
of recreations.
Few sports are as scientific as trap
shooting. The rapid calculation OF
lead, elevation, angle, etc, the nice de.
:ision and instant action. quicken the
eve and hand, and develop qualities
which make for success in the af-
fairs of life. Work at the trap drives
away brain flag. for the reason that
1t requires intense concentration on
a pleasprable pursuit.. Thus, the brain
worker finds real relaxation in trap
shooting, without the physical exhaus.
ton which in many games more than
offsets the good effects Of the mental
diversion.

COMPARE MITCHELL
TO FRANK SALLEE

Chicago. Feb. 6. The coming Of
Fred Mitchell to the Cubs this year has
been likened by many old time fans
to the start Of the managership OF
Frank Selee. the man who put the Cubs
on the map to start their long period
Of victory ten years ago. When Selee
came to Chicago the team was really
worse off than 1t was last fall at the
close of the worst season. since the
coming Of the famous Selee.
The Cubs finished sixth in the race
in the year 1901. the last summer Tom
LOTUS was at the helm. The next
spring Frank Selee took charge and
the finish was one place higher and
the team has never since then finished
that low until last fall when by fol-.
tunate strike Tinker was able to bring
his men under the wire in fifth place
after dragging along In sixth and sew
epth places for time.

Grain Review

Chicago, Feb. 6.--Sharp declines In
the wheat market took place today oW-
ing to a considerable extent to news
of the killing Of an American seaman
by German submarine gunfire. The fact
that shorts had largely covered their
trades during yesterdays advance left
the market without one Of the usual
sources Of support, and there was no
decided influx Of buying until the mar
ket had fallen 81 cents to 3Ac. Raj
lies ensued but the bulls were hamper
ed by the prospect that the new subma-
rine attacks had brought war nearer
than ever. Opening prices which rang
ed from Nc to 2Ac down, with May at
s1.72h to $1.73k and July at $1.47 to
$1.4S, We're followed by fall that car
ried May off to $1.70h, but later by re-
coveries which raised May to $1.7sM.
Subsequently, material advance re-
suited from extremely unfavorable re-
ports regarding the winter crop In
Kansas. Nebraska, Oklahoma and Mis-
souri,, but the market afterward react
ed because Of drastic railway embar-
goes east and on account of rumors that
Germany had declared war ION the
United States. The close was unsettled,
Nc to 1Ac net lower. with May at
s1.7ak to $1.73N and July at s1.47h to
$1.47%.
Scantiness of rural offerings kept the
corn market relatively strong. The
weakness Of wheat had only transient
effect. After opening unchanged to sc
lower; prices underwent slight gener-
al setback but then a material advance
all around.
Reports that large contracts for al
cohol, involving extensive use Of corn,
had been let by the United States gov
eminent tended afterward to cause ad-
= tvs in1,
all held. The close was nervous at Nc
to NC above yesterdays finish.
Trade In oats was entirely local.
Changes in prices appeared to demand
more on wheat than on corn.
