SPORT ACTIVITIES
AFTER END OF WAR
Baseball, Football and Boxing,
Will Have Larger Following.
Instruction Given In Various Campo,
Sure to Develop Many Devotees Of
Sport Who Have Never Be-
fore Been Interested.

Baseball, boxing and football are 60
Ing to have lars .r followings after the
war than they have today.
That this will be true in baseball
particularly is the prediction Of many
men high up in the game, and it has
been pointed out by followers of box
ing that the instruction being given
the soldiers in all Of Uncle Samuel's
training camps will develop thousands
Of devOtees Of the manly art who have
never before been interested.
Football, which has been growing
by leaps and bounds within the past
five years, may not gain many active
participants through the formation Of
training camp elevens, but it will GER
tainly gain in popularity.
At Close Of Civil War.
The pathway to success for present
day baseball in the United States was
opened wide with the close of the Civil
war. Hundreds Of soldiers returned
from the battlef1elds on which the blue
and gray armies fought their many
great conflicts hardened through the
rigors Of service in the open and de-
handing some form Of sport compe-
tition, or, at least, recreation, upon
which to center their interest and in
which those who brought youth back
with them could find active exercise.
From the ending Of the Civil war to
the present day baseball has been gain
ing in popularity. 1t has suffered sew
eral rude shocks owing to internal
strife, but as an attraction which gain
ed and held public interest it has de-
veloped wonderfully.
Ask Red-Blooded Recreation.
With thousands of Uncle Sans sol
der boys equipped with baseball, box
ing and football paraphernalia while
in the service, thousands Of young
bloods coming on who will demand red
blooded recreations and pastimes on a
larger scale than ever before and the
country at large weary Of death-deal-
ing conflicts and grateful for the
chance to relax, sports should thrive
on greater scale than ever.
Sports will be encouraged In every
way possible by the government, too.
President Wilson, Secretary Of War
Baker and many Of our lawmakers at
Washington, have openly expressed the
opinion that health-giving sports
should be encouraged and continued
throughout the length and breadth Of
the land, even in war times.

SEVEN RULES FOR GOLFERS
Harry Vardon Gives Cardinal Points
to Devotees of Links-Keep
the Head Steady.

Seven cardinal rules for golfers, as
set down by the famous Harry Var
don, are as follows:
1. Keep the head steady and do
not let the left heel turn outward
then the body can only wind up when
the arms go back.
2. Grip firmest with the thumbs
and forefingers-they are not so well
adapted as the other fingers to the
purpose of taking a strong hold, and
they are the most important Of all for
the purpose Of the golf grip.
3. Let the club-head lead, the left
wrist turning inward, the arms follow
ing the club-head and the right hip
screwing next.
4. Don't throw the arms forward
as you start to come down as though
you were moving grass. Rather

SHOOTERS USED GLASS BALLS
Trapshooting Of Today Differs Mate
rally From That Sport Of
Days Gone BY.

Back in the early eighties, when
American sportsmen began to demand
q between season outlet for their gum
ming enthusiasm, some bright genius
conceived the idea of the glass ball as
a fitting target to try the prowess Of
the marksman, and the object was
projected at unknown angles from a
mechanical contrivance known as q
trap.
The name of Bogardus, in connec-
ton with glass-ball shooting, is not
only historical, but still alive and DOM
inant in the "reminiscences Of old
timers, a goodly percentage Of whom
still follow the trapshooting sport.
Trapshooting today, however, differs
materially from that sport Of bygone
days; the traps are more scientifically
constructed, the target, instead Of be-
ing globular in form, is saucer-shaped,
and besides covering its 50-yard flight
with the speed Of an arrow, rotates as
well.
It has become customary for writer's
to refer to the clay pigeons as "the in
animate target" So long as they re-
main packed in barrels or stacked in
the traphouse this is quite proper. But
were you to ask any Of the 100000
active trap shooters in the country for
his personal opinion he would unhesi-
tatingly say that Immediately follow
ing its release from the trap 1t be-
comes just about as animated as devil
ish ingenuity could conceive.

Matty announced his retirement as
