Shooting For 100 Years.

Clubs who have "old-t time" shooters among their membership-and there are few clubs that haven't-were re- quested to turn in the names of the veterans and along with the name the number Of years said veteran had been shooting.
 Five thousand names came to hand during the last week in March and the first three in April of men who had been shooting for 15 years or more.
 It doesn't seem possible that such could be the case, yet there are listed two men who claim to have taken up shooting 100 years ago and another who has been shooting for 75 years.
 Of the remaining number 10 have been shooting for 50 years; F for 45 years, 24 for 40 years, 126 for 35 years, 204 for 30 years and 338 for 25 years.
 Truly. shooters live to a ripe old age.
 The two who profess to be shooters Of 100 years standing are Nose Moore, of Montgomery, Ala, and Samuel Hutchings, of Louisville, Ky. The 75- year shooter is Patrick Kearney. ST, of Saratoga Springs, N. Y. Just how old they are we have no idea; but they must be pretty well along in years. Moral; If you want to live for a long time, take up shooting.

Harley F. Woodward (The 15-Year-oId
 Trapshooting Champion of Texas)

Winning a State trapshooting cham pionship is a great achievement, and winning a State title at Is years is an even greater triumph. Young Wood ward will ct be 16 years of age until August P. It is needless to predict that the shooting of Master Wood ward in the National titular event will be carefully scrutinized.
 In winning the Texas State Cham pionship young Woodward had to de- feat E. F. Forsgard, a veteran, and one of the best shots in the Lone Star State, in a shoot-off at 80 targets. They tied for the championship on 9S breaks. On the shoot-off Woodward ran IS, 2O 16, 20, while Forsgard broke IS, 20, 16, 19.
 Forsgard had completed his string in the titular event when young Wood ward was half way. Having missed two targets the youngster had to break every target to tie-and he did He finished out with a run of Il success sive breaks. On the $50 targets thrown in the State Shoot young Woodward had an average of 95 per cent.
 That the lad comes from good shooting stock" was demonstrated when his father, E. F. Woodward, won the Texas State Handicap with 95 breaks from 20 yards,

Doings in the Auto World
Care of Rims Essential to Longevity
 of Tires-Chicaso Speedway Race.

With the extreme need of con- servation of automobile tires being constantly brought to the attention of the nations tire users, thousands of motorists who formerly little needed repeated injunctions to consider their tires, are applying the various rec commended tire savers that add much to tire life.
 It is characteristic of great many exhortations on tire care, however, that they refer mainly to the tire it. self to the exclusion of other impor = tant elements that really have a vital bearing on the tires life. And tires can not be made to run out their al lotted mileage except through the ap- plication of all tire saving principles.
 "In the use of tires. the care of the rim-or it's neglect has much greater effect than commonly sup posed" is the declaration of James Atkins Manager of the Rim Depart ment of a large tire company. Bent rims cause a lot of trouble commonly attributed to other causes" he says. T have known tires to go out of com mission before rendering 500 miles of service, due to a break in the tire just above the bead caused by a bent rim.
 Loose demountable rims cause a ut O1 l4iS LIOQO1S IL OIl6 Ol lIl0 SIIIolll wedges that helps to hold the rim tight to the wheel becomes loose or jiggles off, the rim starts working and gradually the other wedges work loose. Then the rim begins to creep and the valve stem bears the entire strain. The result IS the same as when a bicycle tire creeps-the valve stem pulls off and a tire change is unavoidable.
 Tn applying a demountable rim great care must be used to make sure that the rim is frightened as nearly uniform as possible around it's circum- ference. If the wedges are drawn UT unevenly the tire will wobble and the tread will wear off abnormally. Us- ually by careful prying after getting the wedges even, the rim will slip into it's place on the wheel easily, and there will be no need, of pounding the rim to get it on. I have seen motor ists pound both the rim and the tire savagely with a sledge hammer to gel rim off or on. This is bad, for every blow on the. tire may cause fahriS

May Be Change in Woman's Golf Title

May Be Change in Woman's Golf Title.
 With the northern golf season open ing interest turns to the possibility of a change in the national woman's title, now held by Miss Alexa Stirling of Atlanta.
 Miss Stirling probably will not enter national competition this year as she is devoting most of her time to war work and some time ago announced that she probably would seek to drive an ambulance for the Womens Coun- cil of National Defense.
 Competition for the title is likely to result in a four -cornered drive be- tween Mrs. W. A. Gavin of New York; Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd holder of the north and south title; Miss Elaine Rosenthal former north and south champion, and Mrs. Donald Bar low of Philadelphia.
 Mrs. Gavin, the former champion is regarded as one of the most bril- liant women golfers of the country. She is now engaged in patriotic match es receipts from which will go to the Red Cross. Mrs. Gavin was not among the contenders for the north and south title at Pinehurst and the other three women have a little start on her, but her form so far has been excellent and it is thought she will have a good chance to retrieve. her title. |. Mrs. Hurd, who is better known to the golfing world as Miss Dorothy Campbell, played some wonderful golf in the south this year and is certain to give Mrs. Gavin some lively com petition.

 The "old timers" shoots which are now being conducted by the gun clubs of the United States and Canada have taken hold as well, if not better, than any trapshooting event of recent years.
 An "old timer" from a trapshooting standpoint means Is years as a devotee of the greatest of out door recrea tions
 Fifteen years is about as long as one participates in baseball, boxing tennis, track athletics or kindred sports, and then the baseball togs, the gloves, racquet or spiked shoes are put away for the moths to hide in.
 With shooting it is different. One never grows too old to enjoy the pleas ure of shooting-in the field or over the traps.
 Fifteen years may class a trapshoot- CT among the old timers" and may make him feel as if he were a veteran of the sport; but if the 15-year old timer could glance over the names of

WAR LEFT MARK
FAh EFT ! MANN
 ON PENN. RELAY
introduction of Five Military Events
 a Feature This Year.

The great war left it's indelible mark on the Penn. relay, Americas s greatest amateur athletic classic, when five distinctive army stunts were added to the events which have constituted the meet since it's in ception.
 New events added were the rescue race, the bayonet charge race, wall scaling, squad drill and bugle som petition.
 The rescue race is distinctively a Red Cross or medical corps stunt. The runner must carry another man on his shoulder. The form used is that used by men in service to res cue wounded men from areas under fire
 The bayonet charge race com pines both speed and accuracy, off the runners must bayonet dummies set up at the end of the course.
 The Penn relays this year un- covered at least two phenomenal athletes Shea, the great Michigan ried his team mates to victory in two mile relays, one for the college championship of America, running the last quarter in almost record time, and William BarteIls, Penn sylvania freshman, the pentathlon winner.
 It was the first time in the his tory of the Penn relay that fresh man was able to win from a field comprising the best college men of the country. To be sure the field this year was not up to the stand ards of other years, when the all- around college championship was won by men like Jim Thorpe and Howard Berry. but it was a great achievement for Bartells just the same.
 Bartells won the javelin hurl and discus throw, took second in the broad jump, fifth in the 200-meter run and sixth in the 1500-meter run, jogging the last event when he found he had enough points to win | the pentathlor.
