Private Railroads
Lead To Golf Links

Chicago. July 20.-Two COLTS clubs
in h suburban region of Chicago
have private railroads leading to their
links, which with their palatial club
houses are sequestered far from the
ordinary channels Of travel
Both private lines use electric DOW
er, although the Midlothian Country
club line formerly employed a small
steam locomotive to haul members
from a station on the Rock Island line
to its club house.
The other golf railroad is a cross
country line, running to the Glenview
club from the aristocratic- north shore
suburbs. 1t also serves the westmore-
land Country club, where the western
open championship was won last year
by James Barnes with a record of 283
strokes for ~ holes. This road, bear
ing the ~pretentious name, North Shore
and Western Railroad, recently issued
the following notice describing its
physical, financial and service status:
Patrons should not ride over this
line in o spirit of indifference, ennuis
or nonchalance. It is four miles long,

OF WOMEN
SHOOTERS.
Salina (Kans.) Ladies' Trapshooting
Club is Fostering Such u Move
ment in That State. a
(By Peter p. Carney.)
Editor National Sports Syndicate.

A federation Of Women Trapshoot-
ers is g. possibility in Kansas. The
Salina Ladies' Trapshootipg club is
behind the movement and everything
the Salina Dianas have undertaken
has been successful. And they are
going about the formation of the
Federation of Women Trapshooters in
a manner which should make the or
ga%nization< one of value to the women
and the state.
In putting the federation over, as
they say in sporting %parlance, the
salina organization offers to defray
the expenses Of the targets and the
prizes for all competition the first
year. This settles a point which caus-
es many new organizations to go on
the rocks.
A.. M. Campbell. the president of the
Salina club, has invited the Kansas
State sportsman's association to aid
IN the movement, has written to every
club in Kansas inviting the clubs to
aid the federation, and also written to
every woman in Kansas who owns a
gun or who has shot in the field or at
the traps, inviting them to join the
organization.
Through the federation it is hoped
to make for greater interest in shoot
ing among women. The idea is to
give INSTRUCTION IN the use or The shot
gun and then when the women be-
come proficient to have them shoot
the 20-gauge gum When the small
gun is mastered then they can shoot
the 12-gauge..
The Salina club was formed but q
short time ago and at this writing on
ly two of the members know how to
shoot. Prizes have been offered for
those who make progress and these
trophies, it is expected, will make
every woman a good shot before the
end of the year..
Three years ago the women Of sa-
lima formed q rifle club among the
school girls, and every girlewho joined
at the start is still a member. A
range was fitted up indoors and Salina
now boasts Of the best women's rifle
club in Kansas.
A swimming club was formed from
among the women Of the rifle club
one year age. Only two could swim
at the time. A 25-foot pool was built
and everyone gave up some time for
practice. At the end Of the year
every member could swim-in fact. It
was necessary for everyone to swim a
half-mile or the closing day of, the
year.
So salina is going in for bigger
things. The women of Salina are
progressive and 1t is a good wager
that they will put over the federation
as 1t should be put over.
