GERMANS CLAIM GREAT

Declare It Represents Most Import.
ant Firearms Progress Since
Powder Invention.
By the Associated Press.

( By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April 27.-The German
people are informed that the long
range guns now bombarding Paris
mark "the greatest progress in the de-
velopment of firearms since the inven-
| ton of powder" in a eulogistic article
sent out by the semi official Wolff
bureau and published in the German
newspapers under a Berlin date on
March 2s. The Wolff dispatch fol-
| lows:
"In vain our enemies are rackns
their brains to solve the secret of our
giant cannon with which we are bonn
harding Paris. They believe they have
found the solution in an Austrian long
barrel cannon.
I'm view of these reports it must be
stated for this latest war weapon
which with its long-range and accu.
racy of aim represents the greatest
progress in the development of fire.
arms since the invention of powder
we have to thank solely German
science. German technic and German
industry"

meter Cannon" says:
''The 42-centimeter mortars in August
1914. smashed fortresses which up until
then had been considered as modern and
impregnable. At that moment there
began new period of the construction
|of fortresses.
"The 3lst CT March. 1918. brought the
technical wonder of the 120-kilometeI
cannon and with it the beginning of a
new era in the history of the construc-
tfon of cannon. which, however, may
be of far greater importance on the
course of the war; and perhaps for
peace. than the 42-centineter mortars
Now that the possibility of such
technical achievement has been DEMON
strated. there will not be much to pre-
vent the great belligerent nations from
manufacturing such cannon. OF course
such giant cannon will be the exception
In artillery equipment, for they are ex-
pensive. heavy and probably may be
used only for limited number OF
shots"

progress. The latest information 10
still incomplete. but there is no doubt
that the Germans succeeded In occu-
pying KENNEL hill. a sector involving
both French and British troops.
The net result in the KENNEL sector
so far is that the Germans have gained
about 1000 yards on front of about
1900 yards. The gain is not large. but
involves very important ground, and
there is no question but that it is q
very serious loss.
There is, nothing decisive about the
loss of KENNEL hill, but 1t is q most
important tactical feature. 1t is an OBJ
servation point for all ground to the
north, but it remains to be seen
whether it will remain in the enemy's
hands. Our line to the north is all
right. KENNEL hill is an isolated
height covered with woods which
stands rather out in front and apart
from that range of hills which Gen.
Maurice has referred to as the back
bone of the position.
''The situation around KENNEL hill is
not yet cleared up and we shall have
more information this evening.

To Take On New Brunswick
Aggregation Saturday In

Working an eleventh hour shift,
Manager Marty Hurley. of the Ingots.
has booked the Wright Martins, of
New Brunswick. for the Raritan Cop
per Works field Saturday afternoon.
This attraction takes the place OF a
proposed trip to Camp Morgan.
The Ingots were scheduled to take
on the New Brunswick outfit last Sat-
urday, but the rain caused a post
ponement. Since they have already
tested the power Of the Morgan agsce-
cation. the Hurley cohorts were eager
to stack up against the aerop1ane
makers The Encouragement Of the
schedule resulted.
The curiosity Of the Ingots may be
misplaced for the Wright Martins are
bound to come down with their
strongest battle front This would In
ciude Smith, their star twtrler, who
is compiling all sorts Of strikeout rec

The opening game at Stapleton will be

Fast Newark Boy Wants to
Graduate From Preliminary
Class Here.

Kid Potty continues to draw the at
tention of would-be opponents. The
latest challenge to be hurled in the
direction of the promising feather
weight Is issued by Joe Forg1one of
Newark. Forgione has fought here
twice and showed well both times.
His first time out ForEdone fought
q draw with Eddie Seigal and last
Monday he SO far outclassed his op-
ponet that the bou was stopped in
the first round. Forgione, contends
his manager, is no preliminary boxer
and has been appearing here In four
'ponent that the bout was stopped in
tunity to display his wares.
Forgione wants to take on Potty in
either q six or eight-round bout.
Potty has made rapid strides. His
first time out, he won q four-round
bout in handy fashion. In his second
start. semi-flnal, he overpowered
Young Thompson from gong to gong.
1t would not be at all Surprising to
see him against some fast boy in q
final soon. Forgione would prove q
good opponent. but he may have q
little too much weight on the local

TELLS Of RIFLE
RANCE SUCCESS
Local Lad Who Learned How
to Handle Gun Early Shows
Why It Pays.

The advantages that may accrue in
these stirring times from a knowledge
of sharpshooting Is driven home in
two-ply form through the mail re-
ccived by the Sporting Editor this
morning. The Illustration comes in
the form Of a letter from Carl Omerle
Of 489 Broadhead place, and post
card addressed to Mr.. Omerle ana
sent by Hugh Monty. U. s. Navy Rife
Range. Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Monty, who Ii. an Amboy lad. be-
came interested In the range OF the
local gun club several years ago.
Though still in his teens he took to
the stock with an eagerness to learn.
Just how expert a pupil he was. Is evil
denced by the fact that soon after his
enlistment he passed his test as
navy expert rtfleman. and was as
signed to act as instructor at the Vir-
ginia range. "Gee," he writes, IT am
glad learned something about shoot
ing In the old town. 1t comes in
mighty handy right now"
"Plenty OF game here" he adds, the
range is all surrounded by woods and

Monty's postal writes: II am sending
herewith a postal from one Of our
boys. wish you would publish 1t
just to show the men and boys In
our city how important it Is to know
how to handle a rifle these days.
I'VE have just received fifteen
marksmen and three sharpsh oters'
buttons from the Government for our
who have qualified. We are
getting free ammunition again. We
have ordered 2.400 thirty calibre
Krag ammunition.
The club invites oil boys and men
between sixteen and forty-five years
of age who own rifles to join the club.
We have a good range and are al
ways prepared to give Instructions to
beginners, for you never can tell JUS,
how soon we may have to shoot in

ways on hand Saturday afternoons
and Sunday mornings.

being just good fellow. Lots OF
these men come to the major leagues,
live their careers in partial oblivion
and drift back to the minors without
having been given real chance to
show what they could do. Now York
clubs have been full Of them. John

out as a man who didn't know what
he was doing when he left this or

1t looks very much as though jim
Thorpe is going to get a real chance
now. The shortage of outfielders
