PLUM TO SHOOT WRIGHT
FOR ALL-RGUAD TITLE

Ten years ago this month Leonard
Tufts inaugurated the midwinter trap
shooting tournament at the Pinehurst
Country Club. Pinehurst n. C., and
paved the way for the greatest trap
shooting tournament of the winter
season.
The first Pinehurst tournament
wasn't a big one No one expected
Il would be; but It has grown each
year, until now II attracts trnpshoot
ers from every State In the Union
and Canada. There was at least one
representative from every state and
the Canadian provinces last year.
Some 1870 shooters IN all and IN the
tournament which begins on January
10. and concludes on the Goth more
than 200 trapshooters win participate.
The Pinehurst tournament has earn.
ed an enviable name among trap
shooters. Those who attend one tour
nament always return. and they bring
others with them. During the past
three years the tournament grew last
er than the management anticipated
and last year the club house wasn't
large enough to accommodate the
gathering. This year e will be differ
ent. A new club house has been
erected. Il Is OF brown stone, 30 by
so feet. divided into three rooms, each
with an open fireplace. The club
house Is situated on the edge or an
oak grove about 100 yards from the
former quarters.

ALL PENNSY Athletes
ACTIVE IN INDOOR SPORT

The Athletic Association of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. who as a
body are pioneers in industrial sports,
have launched their monster winter
program OF indoor activities. Indica-
lions are that this will be a banner
year in their annals. The reorganiz-
alton, which took place recently, vir-
tually offers an opportunity 10 every
employe of the lines east of Erie and
Pittsburgh TO compete for the tro-
plies and championship title offered.
Plans and schedules for the entire
system are now completed for these
winter events, all features Of indoor
entertainment being included, namely.
basketball, indoor baseball, tug-Of-
war. volley ball, bowling, shuttle
board. pocket billiards. quoits. single
and double; rife shooting, sack events
and soccer Each division Is privileged
to enter as many teams in each sport
as they wish. Rounds Of eliminatiOns
will be played by all teams within
their respective grand divisions until
a representative team Is established,
February "a is the date set for the
opening OF the concluding grand d.
vision series. II is probable that the
eight representative teams in each
sport will be divided into two groups
eastern and western. The winners in
each group will be the contenders in
the grand finale, at the annual indoor
championship meet, which will be
held at Baltimore, April IA.

TENER Believes IN
ESTABLISHED SCHEDULES
BY II. c. HAMILTON.

United Press Stan Correspondent
NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-There is one
mighty good reason why arguments
in favor OF shortening National
League schedules or starting them
later. never get serious consider
alton at meetings Of the older major
league.
Governor John X. Tener is the rea-
son and his explanations always put
quietus on talk of that sort. Toner
figured il out last summer when the
Boston Braves we're having such a
hard time with at-home dates.
Early in the spring year ago the
Braves had good weather at home and
so did other National League clubs in
the East. But later il began 10 rain.
was cold, and everything seemed to
cOnspire against baseball. The result
was that although the Braves we're in
the race right along, they had one Of
the poorest years in their history.
Governor Tener observed that good
weather had favored this club early
and he began to go into records. He
found that Just as often as not good
weather was on tap for opening dates,
and, in fact, for the first month Of
the season. Then would come bad
spells. Some times they struck the
Eastern half OF the circuit, and some
times they didn't. He found. he de-
clared. that more games had been lost
in late season than in the early
spring.
With this to work on. II was easy
to discover that starting the season
later OF cutting It short would actually
work a hardship on the clubs instead
OF giving them a better whack al the
good weather stretches.
John Heydlor. secretary OF the
league. added a little information
when ne said that for several years
November weather has been better
for baseball than many summer dates.
Tt isn't always the case that spring
weather is most favorable. Some
years show bad days early and per-
feet ones IN June. but recent years
have been Just The reverse.
Statistics OF this kind effectually
stopped talk OF re-arranging sched-
ules.
