baseball has ever known, is an ardent gun bug.
 'sfatty'' was one of, the quartet of ballplayers that participated in match years ago. He was, novice at the sport of trapshooting then, but nowa days he takes his turn at the Cincin nati Gun Club traps with the best shots in the city noted for the failures of it's baseball clubs.
 Trapshooting made quite an inn sion on MathewSon during the ball players tour, and as he is an apt pupil it didn't take him long to pick up the fine points of the sport. It is an ac- cepted fact that it requires the some concentration. the same @pilot-eye", the same acting in unison of the eye, brain and nerves to become a success full bafpiayer that it does to become a proficient trapshooter, and in either line it requires practice to become a leader
 Becoming interested in trapshooting, Big Six also took to hunting in the field. and he gives considerable time to quail hunting each fall, directly after the close of the baseball season. Last fall he. went to Texas after quail with Jack Wheeler, the writer. Wheeler, who had never done any bird shooting before quite naturally carried an ex- pensive outfit.
 On their first day in the fields their dog struck a warm scene and came to a point As Mathewson and Wheeler advanced. the covey, which was mostly made up of young birds began sour rying through the weed in plain sight. Wheeler threw his gun to his shoulder and with it's muzzle began following one of the little brown fellows.
 Say" demanded the aStonished MathewSon, you aren't going to shoot him while his running are you?"
 Wheeler raised his head moment.
 Certainly not' he said; I'm wait ing for him to StOp,''

YosT SCARED MICHIGAN
 INTO HIRING HIM
Nearly Beat Wolverines When Playing
 as Coach of Ohio Wesleyan.

No man connected with football got more extensive press work during the season just closed than Fielding Yost Michigan's famous hurry coach. The fact that the Ann Arbor people were breaking back into the conference gave Yost great added value as news item and he was thoroughly exploited.
 Yost long has been. a wonderfully strong factor in western football and worth all of the press work he get at any time but the best story. of all that is told of the famous Michigander, is how he first came to attract attention at Ann Arbor. It S a., story of the long ago because Yost has been at the Wolverine establishment so anciently that it is almost out of recollection of the oldest inhabitant. -t
 Fielding was with the Ohio Wesleyan team at the time this story originated, and among other games hs team had on it's schedule that season was one with the University of Michigan. Just at that time Yost was flying pretty light in the way of football material and when he started out with his team for Ann Arbor he had exactly II mon fit to play the, game
 To his constarnation when he landed in Ann Arbor one of these men was taken so severely ill that it was ap- parent quickly that he would have to be left out of consideration. That put him with but ten -he1riies ftffO the battle and practically drove the game team needed tho practice ard the management started in to devise some means of getting around thes obstacle Finally Yost solved the whole thing himself. ~Let me play in thea game and I'll have just men enough was the proposition < ~
 It was put up, to the faculty and rather than see the contest fall through they consented to sYost's ap- pearance. It looked pretty .sofe for Michigan, for every one of those Ohio Wesleyan men would have to go through the entire game, as there wasn't substitute in sight They did that little thing. and so well did they p1ay-Yost being the bright star, by the wayNthat they tied the score and gave Michigan a big scare. Yost made such an impression that day that he was engaged soon after and has been there ever since. f-x

KERZOG WILL NOT
 PLAY FOR MeGRAW
Nothing Against Club or President But Refuses to Play While MeGraw is Manacer,

Any person who doubts that Charles Lincoln Herzog is through with the Gi- ants need only discuss the matter few moments with the fiery New York field captain. The popular Her." says he will not play another game of ball for John J. McGraw. ard says he is willing that the whole world know it.
 The Maryland farmer bubbled over in conversation with President Hamp- stead of the Giants in the wee hours early yesterday morning, and was full of wrath even yesterday after noon.
 Herzog insist nothing can be gained by trying to reconcile him with Me- Graw. and that under no condition will he play with the Giants as long as McGraw is manager.
 T succeeded in putting by. little since I started playing ball. said Herzog, and 1 guess if l quit now I would have enough to keep me from the poor house. However, I do not in tend to quit unless I am forced to. and am therefore giving President Hemp stead a chance to trade me. I have nothing against Hampstead or the New York club. My only disagreement is with McGraw."
 Herzog's main grievance is that McGraw requested the club to hold back the pay he lost last fall when he took a rest toward the end of the season after McGraw promised him that this money would be paid him.
 The amount of salary Herzog lost was $S33. 'Herzog yesterday rehearsed all of his grievance against McGraw. He insists McGraW got him back be- cause McGraw felt he was slipping, es- pecially after finishing last in 1915. Herzog also brought up the Brooklyn incident of 1916, when he said, he was incensed at the Giant leaders attack on the team after the boys had won 26 straight games. As captain of the team accused Herzog said he was in censed more than at any other time in his baseball career, but agreed to forget the matter.
 The Chicago, Cincinnati and Boston clubs. the clubs to which Herzog ex- pressed a desire to be traded, are all eager to land the player. 1t is likely that Weegham will land him. though Stallings is making a big bid and is ready to turn over a right handed pitcher, other players and cash for the crack infielder.

IS BEEF NECESSARY?
Maynard One of the Best-Only Tips
 j. Scales to 15S Pounds.

Ed Maynard, the Pennsylvania tackle weighs only 15S pounds and is ranked with the best in the country. Maynard plays his position very much after the manner of Bull Lowe, who was to have been captain of the Fordham team this season but went to France with the Fordham Ambulance Unit. Maynard's size and his ability remind US of other light tackles who made remarkable reriutations.
 In the early nineties Joe Upton was the Iightest man in the Harvard line. He scaled at 156 pounds. His 1890 Up- ton faced Billy Rhodes of Yale all through a fierce contest which Harvard won In 1892 he opposed Walls, anoth- CT equally great Yafe tackle, and was in the game at the finish. In 1900 Ralph Davis of Princeton weighing only 16o pounds played tackle oppo- site Bloomer of Yale, who weighed close to 200 pounds. Bua this was Davis only year at tackle He was shifted to end. where he distinguished himself three years following.
 Jack Minds of Pennsylvania played tackle against aylor of Princeton in 1894. weighing less than 160 and his oponent was at least twenty-five pounds heavier.

FARMERS ARE
NOT EXEMPT

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 10
Farmers are not exempt from
military service.
To dispel the widespread i'm
preston that men in agricultural
pursuits are exempt from the Sc
lective draft, Provost Marshal
General Crowder today reiterated
that only indispensable men" IN
any industry will be exempted.
Every man that can serve the
nation better as a soldier than in
the industry or occupation in
which he happens to be, will be
called to the colors unless II
works an acautl hardship upon
his dependents.
The acknowledgements -
will be exempted.
In a proclamation of exemption
regulations to be issued within a
few days by President Wilson,
pro- isions are made for determin-
ing who are-and who are not
the indispensable men.
Such is the tremendous task
confronting the appellate exemp-
ton boards. The proclamation
places the sole power to pass upon
occupational claims for exemp-
ton into the hands of those
boards. One is created for each
federal judicial district-84 in the
country.
