L believe that a baseball pitcher
improves hts control by shooting at
clay targets. Trap-shooting is SIM
ply the coordination of eye, arm and
mind-that is precisely what base
ball pitching amounts to. When I
am on the mound 1 first decide in my
mind where 1 want the ball to go. and
then my fingers and arms do the Job
automatically.
II find the same holds true Of trap
shooting. At first had to think how
I would line up my gun, then when 1
would pull the trigger, how far 1
would lead the target, and a dozen or
more other things. Now, after long
practice, 1 do all these things auto
matically. and it's only a question of
my mind, eye and finger working in
unison.
Il hope I may be able to continue
to shoot at the traps every winter.
and that when 1 retire from baseball
will have an opportunity to take
part in the Grand American Handi-
cap and other big tournaments"
Bullet Joe" Bush is Connie Mack's
mainstay in the pitchers box. He is
one Of the best twirlers in the Ameri-
can League. Bush will show his true
worth when Mack rounds together
another championship bail club.
Recently, Bush and Grover Cleve-
land Alexander, the great pitcher of
the Phillies. shot a match race at $50
targets, and it resulted in a tie, each
breaking 1z7.

Birmingham. Ala. Dec Though
the past season was q prosperous
one for the Southern League and
the outlook for a good year in 1913
is bright, President Baugh has an
nounced that he will advocate O

mates further that he will oppose

BULLET JOE BUSH A
GUNMAN OF Merit
Kinspin of Athletics Hurlins Staff
Likes Shooting at Clay Targets.

Connie Mack, manager Of the Phila-
delphia Athletics, American Baseball
League Club, has under contract q
pitcher who can hurt baseball with
such extraordinary speed that he has
been nicknamed Bullet Joe.' And, as
1t happens, that is a very appropriate
name, for the twirler In question,
Leslie Joseph Bush, has become an
expert In the trap-shooting game.
Although Bush is proficient with the
rife, sinking a bullet Just about where
he desires 1t to sink. he prefers to use
a shotgun. And with the scatter load
he has gained an enviable reputation
In Philadelphia and vicinity.
He is a virtual newcomer at the
game, but he shoots at 90 per cent
gait right along. and occasionally Is a
winner at the Beidemann Gun Club,
of Camden, N. J., Of which organiza-
tion he is a member.
IT enjoy trapshooting in the winter
months. not only because consider 1t
the most interesting and exciting sport
that play, next to baseball, of
course" say Bush. But do not
shoot alone because I like it. I think
1t keeps me in condition and prepares
me for the long diamond campaign.

So long as there's a song 70 sing;
So long az countless days may gieam

So long as there's a road that leads
Out and far-through mile on mile

30 long will life be worth the while.
But when the final dream 10 done,
And when the last clear song IN stilled,
Or when the far road finds the sun

When gray dusk gathers on the tran

Concerning Pinch HItters.
A citizen from q nearby precinct
desires to know the status OF the
pinch-hitting crop for the last year.
:'Gone, all gone. are the old ia
miliar faces" A dependable statIs-
tician furnishes US the complete
group, including all who produced a
pinch hit last season, and the crop Is
strange.
In the American League the leading
pinch hitter was Kumler, with fifteen
blows to his credit. In the National
League It was Clarke, with nine pinch
hits.
Murphy, Of the White Sox, was
second in the American League, with
thirteen. while the athlete who occu-
pies third place il none other than
Sam Crawford, who contributed
seven.
1t might, or it might not. be Of in
terest to know that only eighteen men
in the American League produced as
many as three pinch hits. By pinch
hitter here IL meant the earnest ath-
lete sent in for the express purpose.

Great Western Shelter

The Great Western smelting plant at Mayer was formerly operated by the Treadwell Min ing company, until about 1905. The property was purchased last summer by the Great Western Shelters corporation. On October G. last, the work of rehabilitating the plant was started.
 When the smelter was purchased the equip ment consisted of a 2000-ore bin sys- tenn, coke bins of 1000 tons capacity a railroad trestle 250 feet in length, Gall in delapidated condition) one blast furnace 42 by 12O feet completely dismantled. In the power house there was one 15O h. p. engine connected di- rectly with No. 8 ConnorSville blower and two 80 h. p. blowers. All of this equipment was stripped of Rabbit, brasses and valves; in fact everything that could be removed was taken away.
 It was decided to rehabilitate this one unit as quickly as possible in order that the smelt- CT might reduce the ores from the Henrietta mines of the Big Ledge Copper company. This work was started on October 6, and before Dectmber 10 last this small unit was ready to blow in. The bin system and trestles had been thoroughly over-hauled and repaired, the fur naces rebuilt and the following new instalIa- tion made:
