B. F.. EIdred Best Shot
At Travers Island

Judging by the attendance at the
opening shoot OF the season at the
Travers Island traps Of the New York
Athletic Club yesterday, the war is
goingto have very little effect on the
gentle sport of killing bluerocks. No
less than forty-five gunners reported.
The shoot was an informal one, as the
regular season does not open until
next Saturday. 1t was at 100 targets,
with five prizes offered for the five
best handicap gunners.
Nine gunners had full score of 100
targets each. These nimrods shot in
a special twenty-five "biord shootoff
The winner finally proved to be B. E.
Eldred. Second prize was tken by n.
Webb. Then came J. l. Brandenberg.

Wesleyan Eleven Wins
Game From Amherst

MIDDLETOWN, Conn, Oct. 90
Wesleyan defeated Amherst on Andrus
leld' this afternoon, to 0, in a game
in which the two teams were evenly
matched for the first three quarters
and no scoring resulted. In the last
quarter Wesleyan braced and rushed
the ball beyond Amherst's twenty-yard
line, where Bootc kicked drop from
the field. Two more points were added
to Wesleyan's total by touchback re-
sulting from a wild throw by the Am
herst centre on his ten-yard line, the
ball rolling back to the Amherst goal
post and being killed by falling on it.

twenty-three and one-half seconds
against Jack last summer, when the
two met in the ring at Harrison, n. J.
Nobody could convince the precocious
plasterer after that bout that it was a
human being he had fought. Fred
always insisted that there was some
thing irregular about it. "I'm no as

A new candidate for championship

two or three girl stars stand credited

such speed consistently. Nor should
it be overlooked that Miss Creighton is

Miss l. Mclaughlin. of Cleveland,
recently disputed the right of Mary
Porter. the 11-year-old prodigy, to
the senior fancy diving championship
of the city, claiming She had herself
captured the title in open competition.
Harry Stevens, however, who virtually
runs water sports in Cleveland. writes
on the subject:
MISS McLaughlin's claim is totally
unwarranted. The championship for
women was decided under competent
eofhclais at Luna Park, and both SEN
lors and juniors were naturally elig-
'ble. Little Miss Porter not only won
the event but she defeated by big
margin the entire field. which included
the Misses Mclaughlin Nolan, Ne
Shame, Jelinck and Casmark all SEN
iors and the home leaders. That Mary
later also took the junior laureis in no
way affects the situation. She has
earned by superior work both the titles
and she stands ready to defend them
at any time against all rivals"

forty five car loads were shipped from
Culleoka and the crop brought the

expected that in common with every
thing else the price will be higher
and the returns larger this year. The
