 Sighting radius? What Is the
 ighting radius of a shotgun " asked the Novice.
 What is the sighting radius?
 Every rife shooter knows that the sighting radius of his rifle is the dis tance between the front and rear sights, and if his rifle be equipped with a tang or receiver sight it will be greater by several inches. But a shotgun is not equipped with a rear sight and usually the shooter is look ing from quarter to a haf-inch over the breech, owing to the extra straight stock on his trapgun.
 Would not the correct answer to the question have been: The sight ing radius of a shotgun is the distance between the front sight and the shooters eyes?
 1 believe a long sighting radius is acknowledged by practically all trap shooters to be an advantage if not carried to an extreme, and if it really is, then what advantage would shooter who held his head erect, checking his stock to the butt have over the shooter who craned his neck forward and whose eye Was much closer to the front sight, thereby re- ducing his sighting radius by several inches?

New York, Nov. 26.-Disregardins such widely divergent elements as easier money and reports Of additional withdrawals of war contracts, today's stock market speedily recovered from it's heavy opening, recording many material advances over the previous sessions general declines.
 Signs of an early relaxation of money were afforded by the further appearance of time funds. from in- terior banks, Nith offers of 6 and even seven months loans at per cent Call loans were freely offered at , per cent. or mixed collateral.
 Traders seemed to view the rail- road situation as precipitated by Sec retary McAdoos coming retirement with less nlisgivings and confident ac- eumulation of high class transporta- tions resulted at extreme advances of enc to three points.
 Shippings also scored material ral lies. Mercantile Marine preferred ad vancing almost five points despite an rouncement of another halt in the deal by order of Washington, allied shares gaining two to almost three points.
 Most of the steels and equipments registered substantial upward prog ress with coppers, the tatter issues ignoring rumors of further price cut ting. Sales were 650 0N shares.

SAYS TAFT WAS NOT OFFERED POSITION

New York, Nov. 2e.-Harry Hemp stead, boss of the New York Giants has corrected mistaken conception of the Taft matter that has spread broadcast. He and H. H. Frazee of the chairmanship and sole member ship of the National commission to the former president as reported.
 We merely asked him if he would consider it." said Hempstead.' We did not offer it"
 Those conversant with baseball law know that Hampstead and Frazee did not have the authority to offer the position to Mir Taft even had they wanted to. Asking him if he would consider the matter was as far as they could go. But they did have'a perfect right to do that.
 Supporters Rally to Taft.
 The National agreement provides for a commission of three members, the president of the National league, the president of the American league and third member swhom they shall elect and who shall be chairman, and article 1 of the agreement says, this agreement shall be indissoluble eX- cept by . unanimous vote of the parties te tk"So it will require a unanimous vote of the three con- tracting parties-the twf major leagues and the minor leagues-to bring about one-man commission.
 Supporters seem to be rallying to the Taft project. Hampstead, of New York; Ebbets, of Brooklyn; Jones. of St. Louis; Baker, of Phila- delphia, and Mitchell, of Chicago, have declared in favor of it and yesterday N~lD oc Americans, had this to say:
 T am an advocate of one-man commission and Mir. Taft, with his great ability, would be a wonderful man for the place, provided he could give it the considerable amout of time it would require. It would re- quire a good deal of his time, for there are many cases coming up and some that need to be taken up imme- diately and decision rendered quick ly"
 One of Reforms Needed. This thing of prompt decisions of pending cases is one of the reforms most needed baseball men say. De- lays have been the cause of a lot of trouble and minus the delays lot of
 Jble can be obviated.> MT. Taft, it is maintained, would have to devote a great deal of his time to these base ball questions to fill the position as it needs to be filled, and that is an important point in considering him for the plase.
 When this view of it was presented to Mir. Iempstead he replied Mir. Taft could give the position all the time necessary"
 MT. Taft makes it plain that he would act only as an arbitrator The scope of the National commission goes good deal further than that. Hand
