Expect Teuton
Uprising Soon

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 80.
Washington today listened for
a possible May day storm behind
the Teuton lines.
Particularly in Austria, labor
ers, students, Slovacks and
Czecks threatened to make May
day to be remembered in the
history of the war.
Diplomatic dispatches were
scanned eagerly for indication OF
an outbreak. Amsterdam cables
declare demonstrations of grow
ing intensity are proceeding at
Prague and many students have
been arrested, several killed, and
that the feeling against the Ger
mans is increasingly bitter.
The food situation in Austria
threatens to cause a sympathetic
demonstration on the part of the
populace for any attempted up
rising, the cables say.

ALBRIGHT HAS MET
TURNER BUT ONCE

Con Albright, the Rochester middle
weight grappler. who Is carded to
meet Joe Turner. the local mailman.
at the Lyceum Theater on Thursday
night Is recognized by the followers
Of this diversion as being one of the
toughest athletes in the game today.
Albright mas always proven a demon
at the rough and ready end of the
game and will be remembered by the
veteran followers of the game here
as the grappler who forced Joe Turner
the limit in the last of the benefits
held at the Gayety Theater for George
Peck. the one-time popular manager
of the Ninth Street House. Turner
and Albright met for the only time in
this main bout attraction. For nearly
an hour the fans that attended the
contest witnessed more OF a rough
house than a real honest-to-goodnes
graphing affair. Both men used
tactics which forced the referee to
warn them on a number of occasions,
but the climax came when Turner
used a fiying-mare on Albright. which
sent him spinning among the spectators
in the stage seats. Although Albright
was knocked out he was willing to re-
turn to finish off the affair, but the
guardians OF the law butted in and
halted the match. Many OF the fans
are already predicting a repetition of
the rough stun in the match on Thurs
day night.

TRAPSHOOTTNG
RESORT SPORT
Success of Pinehurst Tour
nament Has Been Big
Boost for Game.

How to keep each day alive with
some item Of interest. recreation or
sport is a question of greatest concern
at all resorts and resting places.
No time or effort has been spared in
making preparation for golf. yachting
and sightseeing. and now attention Is
directed toward establishing other
forms of recreation on q permanent
basis.
There Is no better index to the ever
increasing popularity and Importance
Of trapshooting as a resort pastime Of
national interest than n shown by the
growth OF the Midwinter Handicap,
held at Pinehurst, N. c., each January.
Eleven years ago, when c. w. Bill
ings took the first trophy from under
the guns of George s. McCarty and
George L. Lyon, the Pinehurst Gun
Club was a diminutive Organization
with a little shanty for q clubhouse"
This was considered ample for all
possible needs, even though II provided
for the wants OF but thirty shooters.
One string Of traps was all anyone
supposed would ever be required
TINE HAS TOLD THE STORY.
A small corner subjacent to the sta
ton and farm no longer holds this
leading sport OF the famous resort The
game has graduated from the infant
class and taken its place in the sched-
ule Of events in the same class with
the enormous golfing activity and the
Jockey club.
The shooting club has become an in
stitution. with acres Of ground for
parking space, roadways. arena, In
struction in shotgun. rife and pistol
shooting, and a house built to accom-
modate not thirty but 200 shooters.
The clubhouse is a picturesque rus
tic cabin 10 feet long and IS feet wide.
built of native logs with three great
fireplaces. gun and ioungtng rooms.
lavatories and ONCE.
A most important innovation Is
quarters for ladies'. An entire wing Is
devoted exclusively to Annie Oakley s
pupils, and to the increasing numbers
of women entering the annual big
shoots or participating occasionally
in the sport.
The club house IL furnished with all
the luxury of other clubs-easy chairs,
divans. rugs and curtainsJ-and decor
ated with the records Of past shoots.
and with photographs OF the famous
shots OF America who have had. their
turns at the Pinehurst traps
The one set OF traps has given place
to five. And even this number is like
ly TO be found inadequate before
many years are past. Last year l76 OF
the leading guns In America toed the
mark at the firing line. With the club
and grounds all finished, and the sport
now come into its own, there is no
telling how many will be there shoot
ing I'm the tournaments in the years
to come.
The Pinehurst shoot Is the opening
event Of the 1878 resort shoots, notable
of which might be mentioned the tour
naments already planned for Lake
wood, n. J.: Maplewood, N. h: Del
Monte, Cal, and Cedar Point, Ohio.
Plans are being perfected for shoots
at many other of the popular Ameri-
can resorts. and all signs point to a
series of enjoyable events at the traps
that will add a new item OF interest
to the resort life in all parts of the
country.
The military idea Is fast invading
the resort shoots and adding a spice
to the sport.

They say that Panzareta, greatest
Of the latter-day race mares, entered
on her career OF the turf almost by
chance.
]. F. Newman, who bred her on his
ranch at Sweetwater. Tex, had a
rather unusual. almost haphazard, way
OF picking the horses he sent to the
races. 1t was his custom to let the
mares, their foaIs and the yearlings
run half wild in the corTals. and at
one time the thoroughbreds at Sweet
water were numbered in the hundreds
Whenever he wanted to replenish
his racing stable or sell a few, New
man would send his men out TO rope a
bunch and bring them in. In one or
those lots was the brown 1lly by Abe
Grank-Caddie Griffith.
Panzareta carried silks for the first
time in a selling race for maiden
2-year-olds at Juarez on January z.
1872, and finished seventh, the only
time she was unplaced that year. She
won brackets on her third appearance
a few days later in the Senorita Stakes
for 2-year-old fllies at three and a
half furlongs, with Charley BoreI in
the saddle.
From then on she kept on winning,
till at the end of six seasons. on almost
every track in the country. the records
show she won 75 races out of Isl starts
1t was said at the time of her death
that she had won eighty races, but
this was due to an error in the caIcu-
lations OF her trainer.
She made an unusual record as a
2-year-old. winning thirteen times in
nineteen starts. Her best season was
when as a 5-year-old she started
twenty-six times. won fifteen races
and was unpIsced only once. How
ever, though her victories were many,
her winnings in dollars and cents were
small compared TO those of horses on
the big tracks. for during her long
racing career she Ion only $SS,oS.
The Queen OF the Southwest, as she
came to be called. was only a sprinter,
but she could and did win some races
at a mile. her inability to go a route
might have been due to the fact that
her dam was a short-bred mare whose
pedigree was somewhat obscure.
For all that, she was game as a peb-
bic and could carry weight. winning
sometimes with an impost as high as
l46 pounds.
