Jack BrouEhton. "the father OF puEil-
ISM" fought his first public battle at
Bristol That was on July 9. 1875.
Jack had engaged in many rough and
tumble fights with other lads, but at
that time he knew nothing Of boxing,
which was just being introduced BY
James fig While attending a fair
Broughton was attracted by a boxing
booth kept by iFgg- and was much in
Censed by the foul tactics used by the
big man in boxing a much smaller one.
He demonstrated with the big bruiser.
and an alteration ensued which had
reached the stage OF fisticuffs when
Figg interfered and invited the two
men TO the stage 70 settle their diff
ferences- Young Broughton. after ten
desperate rounds, completely tri-
umphed over his older. bigger and
more experienced opponent That was
Broughton's introduction to the ring.

IT is said there are many roads to
1 heaven and It is certainly true that
there are many ways Of becoming a
good rifle shot.
In rifle shooting, as in any other
sport. the most important qualifica-
ton that any man can have is a fixed
determination to succeed.
No matter how steady you are or
what good eyes you have, the chances
are that you will never become really
proficient II you 80 at It in half
hearted way.
Make up your mind that you are go
ing TO make progress. Try with
every shot that you fire 70 get eE-
perience that will be valuable on the
next shot
When You take up the sport
you should make it n point 10 join
n rifle club. The members who
are good shots Will always be
glad to help you over the rough
spots, and there are plenty Of
them.
It may be that the shooting bug has
craWled into your system from the
pages Of one of the sporting maya
ZINES. Naturally the first impulse is
TO 60 at once to the nearest dealer, s
store and buy a rifle, but YOU will
find that IL viii pay you to join a
rifle club first and buy yourself a
shooting outfit only after you have
had an opportunity to talk TO some
of the members and listened 10 their
suggestions

MOVEMENT To
STOP RACING
BIC SURPRISE
Move Originates in Home
Of American Racing;
East Would Continue.
JOHREN PROVES He
Is BEST OF SEASON

NEW YORK. July 9.-The movement
MIN kentucky 10 abolish racing IN
tn after the war is over came as a big
surprise TO the racing fraternity
everywhere.
Kentucky is the home OF American
racing. Il is the home OF the Ameri-
can thoroughbred. and the very
thought Of Kentucky falling out Of
the ranks came as q blow
The racing game alone is not so
important, for in Kentucky the breed
ing Of thoroughbred horses is to be
considered more than the running Of
Two OF the countrys greatest turf
events-the Kentucky derby and the
Kentucky handicap.
should Kentucky abandon racing
until after the war the move would
be bound TO have influence elsewhere.
although there is a possibility that
the game win continue in the east
as racing men fin this part Of the
country have done much 10 make
through handsome contributions TO
the Red Cross and other wartime
funds. and the public demands it.
Johren. the speedy three-yea

is generally acknowledged as the
class OF the division for the 1918 sea-
son.
When Johren flashed under the
wire winner in the Suburban handi-
cap there were those who yelled
nuke" but when he repeated in Lhe
Belmont stakes a few days later he
was handed the lsurels as the best
three-year- Of the season and. on
form displayed, he deserved the
crown
Whiney's racer made much bet
ter showing I'm the Belmont than he
had Or the Suburban, for in the lat
Ter race he was off in the lead with
the lifting OF the barrier, while in
the Belmont jockey Robinson held
him back part OF the way and hus-
banded his strength for the final dash
over the difficult course The Bel
mont was run over a course shaped
like a figure IS" and Johren showed
his disdaiu for the horse who can't

This is worth while. for it may keep
YOU from spending a lot Of money on
rifle that is not suited to the branch
Of target work you want to take up
Don't shoot Too Muck.
After you have secured the rife
the next step is to start practice. and
IL is at this point that many men
make a mistake The first flush OF
enthusiasm is likely to result in too
much shooting with a consequent
important TO success.
This particular trouble Is not
peculiar to rifle shooting, for any
sport cnn be run into the ground
m followed too strenuOusly. Prac
tice taken regularly and consist
emily viii surely make for con-
tinuous progress
We said above that each shot fired
should teach YOU something and by
that we mean that you ought 10 study
out for yourself just what error
caused the bullet to miss the bulseye.
for IL is the carefully studied poor
shots that give you real information.
Avoid FllnchlnE.
Get the habit Of calling your shots
before you look at the target. II is a
help because IL counteracts the finch
ing habit and forces YOU to center
your attention on the position Of the
sights at the moment OF discharge
Swapping practice is also very valu-
able. for the reason that il shows
clearly whether you are pulling the
trigger without Earring the weapon
out Of line.

An Editorial That May or May Not Square
With The Views Of The Forum

st. Paul Dispatch
Is it necessary to deceive the American people
able to mislead them in the smallest par
ttcular? This suggests the inquiry whether
there has not been a studied and organized eff
fort at misleading them and how far the COM
mittee OF public information, of which George
Creel is chairman and guiding spirit, is respon-
sible for system that might operate in Prussia
but is repugnant to every American idea.
In the course of the senate inquiry into air.
craft production Senator Reed referred TO Chair
man Creel as "a licensed liar, intending to mis-
lead the public. Making all allowance for the
antipathy Of the Missouri member and his former
record Of opposition, it is submitted that this
nate information to the people at an annual cost
Of millions, of dollars should not pass uncalled
and unnoticed. President Wilson should demand
of Creel his vindication his resignation.
But here is case right in point. At that
hearing, Major General Kenly, chief of the divi-
sion Of military aeronautics, told the committee
there Il > 10 American air squadrons Of 273 ma
chimes now in France. This may be accepted
St Paul some moving pictures designed to i'm
press the people with the progress Of aircraft
production Among them a scene at Day
ton factory where with impressive ceremonies.
the mon shipping boxed airplane marked
in gigantic letters: lone thousandth machine
shipped from this factory to France. L.
These pictures were a product of the Creel
committee. This particular picture had the eff
that the Dayton factory alone, at a date two
months back, had shipped its thousandth air
plane to France. Every spectator got the idea
that the total shipments far exceeded this figure
Now General Kenly tells us with authority there
are 273 American machines in France.
If Chairman Creel explain this satsfac-
toriy, certainly 1t is up to him to do It. If he
cannot, it is certainly up to him to get out. 1t
believe they have been officially mised, and
do not believe President Wilson stands for it.
