AMERICANS LEAD AS

ton of the acroplane, the submarine,
the Lewis machine gun and other de-.
struCtive agencies of war emphasizes
the fact that though Americans may
be a peace.loving people they have
been quick in bringing into the world
the most powerful and ingenious wna-
pons.
Away back in the days OF the Amer
! lean revolution American small arms
were famous. and these guns caused
General Howe TO write home about
the terrible guns of the rebels" AT
that time Americans were a nation
of gunmakers and gun users. ard an
authority has written:
I'm the colonial days the residents
of the Atlantic scabOard were the
greatest users of guns of their period,
and gunmakers' shops were in every
city and town. With little knowledge
OF the science of ballistics. these neu
perfected the American rifle that was
factor of great moment in the revo-
luton when welded by the sharp
shooting. keen.eyed men. of the col
Onics."
From about 1900 until period near
the time OF the outbreak Of the civil
war the JAEGER rifle. made. at the
United States arsenal and rifle factory
at Haper's Ferry, and generally
known as the "Harper's Ferry Rifle
stood ut the head of the list for .
/ ficiency rs u military rifle.
II was an American who invented
. the revolver. Colonel Samuel CClts
first vital patent was taken ont in
/ 1895. but ut the beginning the army
/ and navy officers looked with sus-
piCion or aversion upon the device.
The Seminole war, in 1897, gave the
inventor his first opportunity. and his
revolver proved effective in terrtfy-
! ing the Indians of Florida.
II came into use in large numbers
during the Mexican war In the hands
| OF Texas Rangers. The revolver of
| that period was far different from the
type OF today. The powder hdu To
be dropped into six holes, the bul-
let's then placed on top and rammcd
down BY a lever; percussion caps al.
! fixed back OF each charge and the
hammer pulled back after each shot.
Then there was the invention Of
Richard J. Calling. who brought forth
the first sprviceable machine gun 81
the world. A writer on military
weapons has said that "in the Yam.
kee group OF inventors ranks Eli
phalet Remington, Jr.. OF the same
period as Colt; Maxim, of Maine, the
inventor of England's best rapid FIRE
gun. and PARROT. who made the great
smoothbores OF the last century"
Among Americans who did much in
the development of heavy ordnance !
were Dahlgren and Rodman, inventors |
and designers OF the most effective |
big guns Of the Civil war, and Colonel |
I,omford. OF New York, who designed |
and superintcndcd the building Of The
great Columbiads.

 The board ruled, however. that players will bs permitted to seek Stn- ployment wherever possible for the remainder of the season but must re- port next spring to the club holding their contract this season.

 Tt is the policy of the national board to help our league members in view of conditions that have not existed for fifty years and the financial sac rilces already made the statement said. "It is hoped however. that the leagues will exhaust every possible effort before stving up the struggle.
