Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1918-09-28

Twenty years ago, during the
 Spanish American War, the California
 Red Cross Society's report of annual
 expenditures was $32,940.44. Of this
 mount approximately $20,500 was
 pent for what we now classify as Military Relief. The Pacific Division, during the past fiscal year, expended more than one million on such relief, which will give some idea of the growth of the Red Cross work in the west. One Chapter Chairman of 1898 reported that she was "all in" when her allotment of 800 comfort bags was completed. This will make the workers of today smile-and many of them were among those of Spanish American days. This same chapter today turns out 2,500 surgical dress ings, 800 hospital garments, 450 knitted pieces and 100 refugee gar ments every month. True to history and tradition women always have and always will respond to all vital de- nands made upon her.

THROWING GRENADE NEW
 SPORT BEHIND THE LINES
(By A. H. GURNEY)

PARIS, Sept. 3. (By maiN Every program of field sports at the front and behind it now contains a new event. Throwing the hand grenade they call it. Jack Eller is the in- ventor.
 Everybody knows Jack Filler, New York City policeman and champion American athlete. He's a fine police man, but finer athlete. As hur- Ter there has been none better, and few anywhere near equal. Just now he's in Paris, running Army athletics for the Y. M. c. A.
 At camp not very long ago he saw a hand grenade squad getting in it's daily practice. He tried to throw a grenade, and learned that it wasn't as easy as it looked. He had an idea, let him tell it.
 "The boys are always wanting some- thing different. Here's a chance says I, for me to give 'em something different, and also help Uncle Sam. So asked some of the experts to show me how good they are. From them I got a distance which will be about right to shoot at and sketch cut my scheme.
 I allow, first, run of 15 yards, same as in the javelin throw, you know. At 125 feet away from the middle of the line I make the apex of a triangle which has sixty foot base. This base is 250 feet from the foul line. A nice little throw, what?
 "The idea is to take the 15 yard run and throw the grenade so it will land within the triangle. The nearer the base line the grenade hits the better the throw. Get me? Just borrow grenade anywhere and throw it.
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1918-09-28

"The idea is for both accuracy and distance. The old way, of throwing a grenade was to stand behind a piece of canvas higher than your head and let it go over it toward a bullseye marked on the ground. You couldn't see the target. That was for when fighting in the trenches.
 "But our men are going in pretty strong for open warfare. So they've got to chuck the grenades whole lot like you chuck baseball. They can see what they're aiming at in most cases.
 "The boys like it, and the officers are keen for it. I always get lots of competition in the event-both Amer ican and French when there's a meet on at mixed camp. The French are mighty clever in the throw, and first along they gave our men some neat little lessons in sending grenades on their way accurately and far. But we're learning, and you, can take it from me, it won't be long before our soldiers are the worlds star grenade chuckers.

BAN HORSE RACING

Secretary of War Baker has put the ban on horse racing and the meets, if any are held, will not hereafter be re- ported by the Associated Press. This is the statement given out by that newsgathering organization, the last report being that of last Saturday.
 Horse racing has from time im- memorial been the sport of Kings, but it finally degenerated into a gambling proposition that was far worse than the three card game of the bunco man. Good, clean horse racing is an exciting sport, and when the war is over we ex- pect it to again become second only to baseball in the interest of the American public.

he would not get shaved until

Georges face.
And George Is wondering
whether he had better shape his

While this Is n championship

stood a chance to be a member

with which some Of them have
rolled.
We've heard of Inconsistent
bowlerx, but from NIL we've seen
this winter the palm must be
handed to Dick Reed. He's ms
likely to roll 40 as 70-and just
ns likely to roll the latter as the
former.
So far Ike Field has one record.
Nobody has beat his 6S for low
game.

Attempts by local howlers to
WIN a money match from Harry
