New York. Nov. 24.-Charles Lin
coin Herzog. second baseman of the
Giants, may be in the aviation serv-
ice of the United States by spring.
HerZog is now at an Army flying
camp near Salt Lake City. Utah. 1t
is believed that he is thinking Sc
riously of abandoning baseball for
the air service of his country.
If Herzog did not have a wife and
family he would be flying for the
government now. He took his physi-
cal examination for the aviation
corps last spring and passed.
Knows How to Fly
The Giants second baseman al
ready knows a lot about flying. He
took instructions last winter in Flor
ida and learned to pilot a hydro
plane.
1t is possible, OF course, that the
Giant captain is merely a guest of
one of the Army instructors. 1t
would not be surprising, however. if
he were seriously considering flying
for his country.
There are a number of rumors
around that Herzog is to be traded
by the Giants. These stories have
neither been confirmed or denied by
the New York club.

Referee O'Brien Walks
Many Miles in Ring;
Seven Miles One Night

Philadelphia. Nov. 24.-Fight fans
in this city have often asked the
question, "how many miles does
Frank (Pop) O'Brien, walk in an
evening while refereeing the boxing
bouts at the Olympic A. AZ"
Monday night a pedometer-a
watch-like instrument used for
measuring distance by pedestrians-
was slipped in O'Briens pocket Just
before the gong rang in the first
bout. When the final gong rang on
the Chanye-Dundee windup the ped
ometer showed that O'Brien had
walked seven and one-eighth miles in
little over two hours.
The distance covered by Pop
would probably have been greater
had not the second bout been stop
ped in the. first round. after it had
gone but two and half minutes, IN
stead of eighteen minutes. O'Brien
walked two and a half miles while
refereeing the windup. The average
distance for each of the five fights
was one and two-fifth miles.
O'Brien's stride was measured and
was found to be SO inches, which
shows that during the fights O'Brien
took about $40 steps in covering
$500 feet.
In the first bout. O'Brien walked
one and a half miles refereeing the
bout. in eighteen minutes. In the
second bout, which was stopped after
il had progressed two and a halt
minutes. the distance covered by the
referee was one eighth of a mile. In
the third bout, O'Brien tore off one
and a quarter miles, and in the semi
windup the referee walked one and
three-quarter miles. In the windup
O'Brien reached the pinnacle of his
walking tour by Omar Khayyaming

day in a game with the Carlisle sec

been a good one, and the Academy
eleven scored 81 points to their OPP
ponents' 60.
Central and Steelton are the big
attraction to-day. The day was ideal
for football. and a big crowd was
expected at Island Park. Central
students were out in large numbers
with band, Steelton sent many
rooters, and the Cockill crew was a
favorite in picking the winner. This
is the final game in the triangle
series, and the last battle between
Central and Steelton.
Tech High went to Wiikes-Barre
to-day for a battle with the crack
high school eleven of that city.
Wilkes-Barre was not so strong
early in the season, but has been
showing fast pace during the past
two weeks. Tech is anxious to win.

National Rifle Body
Long Time in Sport;
Membership Now Large
BY PETER CARNEY

Back in 1872, the National Rifle
Association of America was founded
by group of public-spirited men
who had the best interests of their
country and their fellow citizens at
heart.
The object of the association-to
quote from the by-laws-is, ito en-
courage craftsmanship throughout
the United States to en-
courage competition in marksman-
ship between teams and individuals;
to encourage legislation for the es-
tablishment and maintenance of
ranges"
If you are a devotee of the sport
of rifle shooting you can see, there
fore, that the object of the National
Rifle Association is directly in line
with the best interests of the sport.
During the first few years of its
existence. the National Rifle Asso-
cation was small. Indeed. it was
said that the secretary carried all
matters connected with it in one
book in his pocket
The present secretary has an es-
tablishment which consists of five
rooms in an office building in Wash
ington operated by an Office force
in addition to the secretary and his
assistant, of a cashier. six stenog-
laphSISs one IHulIlBTdpn operator,
and an office boy.
Such number is necessary to take
care of the business of the associa-
ton and you can realize what this
work means when you consider that
there are affiliated with the National
Rifle Association, over 1000 civilian
clubs, 76 college and university clubs
and 1S1 school boy clubs.
Every. year the association runs a
series of matches between the clubs
in each class and medals are award
ed to the winners. These leagues
give every rife club in the country a
chance to compare their shooting
ability with the others.
At the national matches, the big
annual shooting tournament run by
the United States government, the N
r. A. puts up a number of trophies
and medals for competition.
That the National Rife Associa-
| ton is of definite value to the rife
men of the country is proved by its
marvelously rapid growth.

This city. Maurice Glenwood Beard
is the Tech manager. and he has ar
ranged a classy series OF games for
the Maroon squad.
At the start of the season it is
likely that Coach C. w. Miller will
again be in charge of the squad
The present material was develope i
by him last season, and the team
made good after rather poor start
because of its inexperience. Coach
Miller Will have practically a veteran
team of underclass men upon whom
he can rely to bring the honors to
Tech for several years to come.
Tony" Wilsbach will likely hold
down the center position. He made
good at this post last year. an dis
likely to repeat. "Haps" Frank and
Jerry Frock will make strong bids
Tor the pivotal position. Both have
had experience, playing on their class
teams and the reserves. "Bill" Fortna
is another center man who will also
bear watching. Any one of the quar-
tet has long reach and can play a
Iast, snappy game.
Holland Is Certain
At forward the coach will have
"Scrunts" Holland, one of the best
foul tossers to wear the Maroon. He
las always been somewhat handi-
capped because of his size. This
year his chances are better than
ever. "Buddie" Lingle has inside
track for one of the forward posts,
because of his fast floor work and
clever goal shooting. Gilbert Elmer
and Bud" Bell are two other varsity
players who will make opponents
hustle to beat them out for a for
ward berth. Cap" Smith, a sopho-
more, was one of the stars of the
Tech interclass lineup last season,
and will be hard after a regular
place. Ted" Lloyd. captain of the
football team. is another promising
candidate, as is Dutch" Miller. Both
of these players were mainstays on

New York, Nov. 24.-Bill Bren-
nan, "the Irish heavyweight cham
pion" holds the worlds knockout
record in the heavyweight division,
past and present. This at first would
sound very much like a press agent
story, nevertheless looking over the
records of all the great heavyweights
including John l.. Sullivan, Bob Fitz-
simmons, Jeffries, Willard, Sharkey,
Gnboat Smith and others, statistics
prove that Brennan's record for
X. O.'s has never been equaled in the
heavyweight class. The writer pre-
sents the following facts to substan-
tiate this claim.
True some Doubling Thomases"
present the argument that John L.
Sullivan scored some fifty knockouts
on his famous exhibition tour of the
United States in 1888 but, it is fact
that John L. was simply knocking
out a lot of unframed men, who laid
no claim to being fighters and went
on to the stage to try and stay four
rounds and get the prize that was
offered for those who could stay the
limit, while in actual combat from
1900 to 1892 the year that Sullivan
lost to James ]. Corbett, the Boston
Strong Boy stopped but twenty-one
men.
Some Ring Facs
Fitzimmons in ten years from
1894 to 1904 scored eleven knockouts,
On the other hand he was himself
knocked out five times, twice by JEFF
fries, once by Bill Lang, Jack O'Brien
and Jack johnson, and during his
entire career scored but thirty-siS
knockouts out of siXty-three battles.
Next we take James ]. Jeffries
who met with but one knockout dur
ing his whole career inside the ropes
Jack Johnson dropped Jeff at Reno
and Jeff's seconds jumped into the
ring and under the rules of the prize
ring Jeffries was knocked out. From
1896 to 1910 Jeffries knocked out
twelve opponents including all the
great heavyweights of his day.
Jess willard, the present heavy.
weight champion, has scored but
eighteen knockouts from 1911 tc
1917, including the knockout over
Jack Johnson at Havana, where he
won the worlds heavyweight crown
L IOlu 0lldIhSy uuiiii5 liS SoiSS
scored thirty-five knockouts anc
Gunboat Smith has to date thirty-si1
knockouts coming nearest to the rec.
ord rolled up by Brennan. Brennan
has boxed fify-seven contests and bu'
sixteen men went the limit. He has
scored forty-one knockouts out oi
ffty-seven fights.
Brennan began swinging punches
in 1914 and in the first year of hi:
career, he scored. ten knockouts
beating most of his rivals in less thar
five rounds. In 1915 Brennan knock.

In looking over this remarkable
record of this young Irishman one
might get the idea that Brennan was
a one-punch artist, but when you
think of him only two weeks ago out

conceded to be one of the most scien-
tific men of the present day boxers
one has to admit that he must be
very fast. Brennan may not yet be
