DUCK HUNTING
IN AEROPLANE
Several Members of United States
Aviation Corps Have Tried
New Sport.
By PETER P. CARNEY.

The rich who have time on their
hands are on the trail of a new form
of sports, although it may be said in
its support that men of the aviation
corps have a very good argument in
its favor as an aid to craftsmanship
This new sport is nothing more or
less than hunting ducks by aeroplane,
the incentive, of course. being the op-
portunity for wing shooting against
double speed. That IL. the machine is
travelling at bird speed while the ducks
are likewise doing record work.
One of the army corps says:
There could be no better practice
for craftsmanship than to hunt fast
flying birds like wild ducks in aero
planes. The problem of ,maneuvering
would be about the same as would be
encountered in combat with a hostile
flyer. and hitting flying ducks from
an aeroplane going ninety miles an
hour would require a steady eye and
nand."
Do you : think you would like to
shoot this way? 'r-
Or do you prefer to stay on the
ground?

WHEATLEY TO HAVE
CHARGE OF TOURNEY

Because both players were unable
to agree upon a set time for the bill
lard match scheduled between Pro-
fessor Wheatley and Richard Tilpts
at the Grand Central last night,
Maurice Cafritze called the match
of. 1t was found impossible by
the players to arrange an agreeable
time and after shaking hands they
agreed to finish out their disputed
game some time later in private.
. Professor Wheatley will take
charge of the Grand Central par
lors on Monday afternoon and will
give special instructions on hand
ling the worries to all patrons of
the health resort. Professor Wheat
ley has also been placed in direct
charge of he District championship
pocket billiard tournament which
will be held at the Grand Central
starting on next Monday night. No
new entries were listed last night,
but Wheatley is confident that the
best in this vicinity will toe the
scratch when the tourney starts.

BOSTON A. A. VOTES
TO ABOLISH HOCKEY

Boston. Jan. 5.-At a meeting of
the Boston Athletic Association it
was voted that it would not be
feasible under existing conditions
to be represented by a hockey team
this season. Every athlete belong
ing to the club is enlisted in the
nations service. and as every de-
partment of the service is taking a
great interest in all forms of ath-
letics the club believes the members
should compete for whatever de-
partment they are enlisted in.
Willingness on the part of the
Boston Athletic Association to as
sist in the promotion of athletics
among the men in the various
branches of the service is well
known, and the committee feels
that on account of the above facts
for this year they desire to support
the service teams

CHAMP BRAVES
ARESCATTERED
Only Two Of Stallings' Pen
nant Winners in 1914 to
Be with Team in 1918.

The sale of Joe Bush, waly
Schang and Amos Strunk by Connie
Mack brought fans to their feet
with the exclamation that of the
great Mackian machine of, 1914.
only one, Stuffy' McInnis, was left
with the Athletics.
But few fans have noted the
change that has gone on within the
Boston Braves during the same
years.
The Braves, the most spectacular
team in baseball. the club which
defeated the Athletics in four
straight games and caused Connie
to dismember his team. will include
in 1918 only three of the men who
made up the winning aggregation
Of four years ago.
Rudolph. one of the three pitch
ers who made possible the cam
paign OF 1914, and who helped
trounce the Athletics, and Red
Smith. the third baseman who play
ed throughout the season but was
in the hospital with a broken ankle
at the time of the world series, are
the sole survivors.
Stallings concluded the wreCkinE
of his club a few days ago wren he
asked for waivers on Pitchers Reul-
bach and Pat Ragan, Infielder Eddie
Fitzpatrick and outfieIder Joe KeI-
ley.
The Braves of 1914 included Pitchers
Tyler, Rudolph, James. Hess. Da-
Wis, Crutcher and Cochreham; Catch
ers Gowdy, Whaling and Mitchell
Infielders Schmidt. Evers. Maranville.
Smith and Deal, and Outfielders Con-
nolIey. Whitted. Gather, Mann. Moran
and Devore; and Dugey and Gilbert,
utility men.
Gowdy and Maranville have Joined
the colors. James was never able
to pitch after 1914 on account of a
bad arm; Hess. Crutcher, Davis and
Cochreham have all fallen behind
the major league pace Evers was
Sent to Philadelphia and has receiv-
ed his unconditional release: Deal
has dropped out. Whitted is with
the Phillies. Mann with the Cubs
The rest of the outfelders and the
| other two catchers have sdrifted mi
norward.
Since 1914 Stallings has. acquired
and disposed of Reulbach. Raban
Sherwood Magee, Joe Wilhoit. Joe
; Kelley, Frank. Allen. Edgar Collins
Eddie Fitzpatrick. Blackburn. Mas
sey. Chappelle, Twombley and Crum
Tyler recently Joined the Cubs. The
Braves of 1918 will surely be a brand
new outfit.

FEW HOME RUNS
IN LEAGUE now
One Hundred and Twelve
Less Circuit Clouts in
+ 1917 Than inlo1l.

What has become of the home
run hitter?
Major league records for 1917
show that but two batetrs were
able to collect more than 10 circuit
clouts during the year. These
records also show that the Ameri-
can League did not break into this
column, the leading home run driv-
ers being Cactus Cravath and Dave
Robertson. each Of whom garnered
IL. Wally Pipp, the leading home
run hitter of the American, collect
cd but nine.
The question of why ii is easier
to get home runs in the National
than in the American League is one
which has caused a lot of discus
sion and one which probably never
will be settled.
The short right field fence at
Philadelphia is one of the reasons
most often advanced, but that alone
certainly would not give the Ma
tional League the eminence it has
reached during the last few years
in this department.
Taking the figures from 1911 to
date we find that but two American
League batsmen have been able to
break into the ten home run class
Frank Baker did 1t twice, in 1912
and 1918, collecting 10 the first year
and IL the second. Wally Pipp
raped out IL in 1916.
During those same years IA Ma
tional League batsmen crossed the
line making 10 or more home runs
for a total of 81 times.y
The fOllnWinr~ shnNUa hnxnr No
al League batsmen have broken in
to this class in late years.
1911-Schulte, 21: Luderus. 16;
Sherwood Magee. Is; Doyle. 1S; Will
son, 12; Hoblitzel, II: Merkle. 10.
Total. seven men for sS home. runs
1912-Zimmerman, IA; Schultz, 12:
Merkle, IL: Wilson, IL; Houser. IL:
Luderus. 10: Doyle. 10. Total, seven
men for 20 home runs.
191S-CTavath. 10: Luderus, IS:
Safer, IA; Magee, IL: Wilson. 10.
Total. seven men for 72 home runs.
1914-Cravath. 10: Safer. IS; S.
Magee, Is; Luderus. IL. Total, four
men for 81 home runs. y
1915-Crayath. "a; Williams, 13;
Schultz. II; Becker. IL: Safer, IL.
Total. five men for II home runs.
1916-Robertson. IL: Williams, IL;
Cravath. IL. Total. three men for
35 home runs.
191T-Cravath. 12; Robertson, II.
Total, two men with "a home runs.
The table shows that from 1911
the National League home run
record fell from seven men break
ing into the class of those making
10 oE-more a year to two in 1917
and the total home runs made by
these men fell from 90 to "a.
In the same league the total num-
ber of home runs during the sea-
son fell from 314 in 1911 to 2O2 in
1917, a loss of 112 homers.
In these years Cravath broke into
the ten home run class five times,
Luderus four. Safer. Magee and Will
son each three, Doyle, Schultz, Will
Jams, Merkle and Robertson each
two, and Becker, Houser. Zimmer-
man and Hoblitzel each one Schultz
made ten homers in 1910.
Only two have been to go above
20 home runs in a season, Cravath,
with the master mark of "a in 1915
and Schultz with 81 in 1911
The figures show that something
has happened to the home run hit
ters. Just what it is will give the
fans a chance for many an argu-
ment in the hot stove league this
winter.

HARVARD BALKS
AT TITLE MEETS

Cambridge. Mass. Jan. 5.-Harvard' s
leading track athletes will compete in
the annual intercollegiate track meet
at Philadelphia next spring, provided
no team championships are awarded.
Fred W. Moore, grs 'uate treasurer of
athletics, announced tonight.
This stand is taken by Harvard be-
cause of the informality of athletics at
the university this season, and be-
cause the athletic authorities feel it
would be unfair to the university to
have an informal team represent the
Crimson in a championship contest. 1t
was pointed out that the indoor meet
of the Boston Athletic Association,
which always has drawn many of the
leading college stars, is to be con-
Quoted on the individual rather than
the team basis of point scoring.

A NEW PLAN FOR VANCOUVER
Bob Brown Proposed Community
Owned Club in Northwestern.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Jan. b.
Bob Brown, who has financed base
ball for Vancouver practically as an
individual for the past several sea-
sons, and at considerable loss to HIM
self, is willing to take a chance again
in the proposed new Northwestern
League that Is to be reorganized out
Of the old. but not on his own hook
Brown has outlined his plan for base
ball in Vancouver for next year, il a
club is put in the Northwestern, ana
1t is along the line of a. community
owned baseball GLIB, such as is now
operated in the National League in
St Louis and In number of minor
league cities, Peoria being promi-
nent example. Brown will drop the
role Of individual hacker and give
every fan in Vancouver chance to

GRIFFS TRAIN
AT AUGUSTA
The Old Fox Closes Dea'
to Again Return to
Georgia Town.

1t will be Augusta, Ga, for the
Nationals spring training in 1918.
The Old Fox yesterday closed with
the ball club of that city Tor the
use of their ball park and club house
for one month during March and
April The advance squad OF the
Nationals, which will be made up of
the pitchers and catchers. will leave
here on the 11th of March, and viii
be followed ten days later by the
main string.
w. c. Cohen, representing the new
blood which now has charge of the
Augusta baseball club of the South
Atlantic League, closed this deal
with Manager Griffith after short
conference yesterday. e. L. Kalb-
flesch. the former president of the
Augusta CLUB, has turned the fran
chise over to a new stock company.
which desires to have the Nationals
train in the little city across the
Savannah River
Although no provisions have yet
been completed for the rooming and
boarding of the squad, 1t Is expected
that this will prove one of the easy
matters, as the citizens are anxious
to have the Griffmen back. II the
Nationals are unable to find hotel
accommodations, like those of last
season. the Old Fox intends to pul.
the same kind of a stunt as that
which he used when the team trained
at Charlottesville. Va.
The Old Fox will no doubt rent a
couple of the large houses for sleep
ing quarters while the squad will be
fed by one OF the leading boarding
mistresses, of >course after Trainer
Mike Martin has put his o. X. on the
quality of the food.
Griff was more than anxious to re-
turn to Augusta. Last season he OBJ
tained results in that little Georgia
town and was well pleased with the
conditions of the players when they
returned to this city early in April.
Only on one occasion when the
rookie" pitchers were in training un-
der the watchful eyes of Uncle Nick
Altrock and Trainer Mike Martin was
practice abandoned because of bad
weather. When the entire squad got
down to real work late In March.
Griff called off an afternoon practice
because of a rain storm. but the
ground at the ball park dried up so
fastly after the showers that the reg
ular interclub game could have easily
been played.
Results were obtained in Augusta
last season. and there is every reason
to look upon the place in an encourag-
ing manner for the 1918 training sea-
son.
Although the weather conditions
were ideal at Augusta, not as much
can be said of the rain storms which
the team encountered on its barn
storming tour. After having successful
days in Birmingham and Memphis,
the Nationals ran into a two days
rain in Nashville which prevented two
games being played while but one con-
test was played with Cincinnati in
Redland as rain stopped the contests
for Sunday and Monday.
Griff's hobby of furnishing the Sam
mics" amusement will be put into ef-
feet in evey way possible in the ar
ranging of the transforming trip for
the return home this season. He has
arranged to play exhibition
games at two cantonments and is at
tempting to arrange many more
games with big league and minor
league clubs to be played at the va
rious cantOnments on the return from
Augusta.

GUST PAID COACHES
ON PACIFIC COAST

st. Louis. Jan. 5.-Paid coaches
are being shelved out on the Pacific
Coast. The University of California
has started the movement and it is
said that other institutions in the
State of the Golden Gate are con-
sidering similar steps At Cali
fornia the basketball, baseball,
wrestling and boxing coaches have
been let out, and 1t is very likely
that the crew tutor will not be re-
signed.
Andy Smith and Gus Zeigler, the
two former Penn stars. who are
football coaches at California. will
be retained. Their contracts extend
over until next season. Walter
Christie will take charge of base
ball. basketball. wrestling and box

ESSICK UNEXPECTED
GIFT TO VERNON

Los Angeles. Cal, Jan. 5.-After per-
the fans to engage in a grand
guessing contest as to the successor of
George Stovall as manager of the Yer
non Tigers. Tom Darmody, without a
hint of his intentions, surprised the
baseball rialto the other day by an
nouncing that Vinegar Bill Essick.
former owner-manager of the Grand
Rapids Club of the Central League,
would be the 1918 manager of the Ii
gers. Essick has signed to take the
job; he knows all the horrifying de-
tails of the task allotted him and he
is on the job.
Essick is to be a bench manager, in
asmuch as his playing days are over.
He is also to be business manager of
the club for Darmody.
