The Philadelphia Trapshooters
League disposed Of its third set OF
matches on Saturday afternoon, and the
race for the premier honors has mar
rowed down TO a two-club tie for first
place.
The Wilmington champions had little
trouble defeating Glen Willow over the
Bellevue traps, and the Pennsylvania
Railroad registered a decisive win over
The recOrd-breakng West Chester club
at Overlook. The raiiroaders COM
piled a team total Of 400 and now head
The league standing by virtue Of a ten
Target lead over Wilmington.
The s. :. White club was defeated at
Camden by the close score Of 416 TO
IA and was dropped into a four-cor-
1ered tie for second place, still. how
ever. holding the lead in the number OF
. targets broken i'm the three matches,
with 1923.

The Jersey gunners in this second place
tie. and with Meadow Spring and Lans-
dale, each credited with a win in sat

West Chester after starting the sea

Chester has proven a good scoring
machine. but lost all three OF its
matches against the strong clubs OF
the league. Glen Willow has also lost
all three OF its matches so far, losing
10 the champions here.
Clearview shares the triple alliance
FOR the cellar position and has so FAR
shown the least scoring power in the
league. Lack OF interest has manifested
itself. only eleven shooters going TO
Lansdale.
Fifty-two Wilmington shooters
turned out for the match against the

A Poets View of Leonard Merrick

despise Alma King, respect Caesar Wal
ford. So it is that lives dovetail. So
the angle of vision changes the judgment
in life; the owl hates what the lark halls.
The hypercritical find Mr.. Merrick no
realist. Oliphant, who objects to his wife
playing a demi-mondaine on the stage,
could not be a real actor, they say;
he lacks the professional attitude. Kent,
who regards thousand words of fiction
a day as literary exploitation, they are
sure is no real novelist. And so it goes.
Alas, these critics demand of realism that
the characters live up to brain-spun pat
terms of what the actor, the author, should
be; and because Mr.. Merrick has seen
them with inevitable human failings,
they call him romanticist. No. he knows
his people and his world; and he lets
us know them.
There is a lack-a lack Of vista, of
sweep, of university, of the grand topic
and the huge event. Mr.. Merrick's art is
fragmentary: the important fragment,
true, but never the whole with its obscure
beginnings and life's sardonic post
script. We cannot know his characters
as we know Henry Esmond or Ernest
Pontifex, Tess Iterberyille or Emma
Bovary. His colors are drabber than the
Sorollalike quality of Ibanez. He does
not catch and speak the interplay Of
events and generations as Romaine Rol-
land, Samuel Butler, Gilbert Canaan,
Anatole France do.
Before and behind the stage curtain,
before and after the book is published,
these things he knows and tells; he is
master of a microcosm, transcriber Of
chamber music, who leaves the vaster
harmonies to- others. In his own world
he knows no peer: his words own a deft
and unerring finaIity The ENTERPRISE of
his novelist admirers and publishers in
making these stories available enriches a
literature sadly in need of wholesome
food
He is contemporary to know and
love.
The sun., 1919-08-17

the coast Of the sirens has been passed
before they can call their hearts chosen
their own.
The artistic problem receives less en-
phasis than the personal one, but both
find hopeful solutions. The sharpness Of
insight, the blade fash of comment and
repartee, the authentic Transcription from
two narrow professional worlds, give the
books persistng value and charm.
And the people one meets between his
covers! Caesar Walford, coddled musical
foghorn; Miss Wix, eternal needle
tongued "poor relation; James Ellerton,
Blanche's father, mote souled Literary"
novelist fouling his wife's pot boiling
novelties which support him; grouchy,
untidy, lovable Turquand; the practical
middle class Walfords-it IS from such as
these that our own cues come. They have
lived and will live; the soul cleansing mil
lennium is not scheduled for this century.
Restraint and shapeliness are two Of
this story teller's chief attributes. His
tales are ended in your mind, not on his
pages; they close with the technic of the
packed short story and brisk novelette,. 1t
is a fine sense of values that draws the
curtain when the close up begins that
leaves the supremer emotions, where
words must limp and stutter, to the silent
artisanship of the readers soul. There is
an internal shapeliness as well: the three
main episodes in Conrad, for instance, are
in perfect symmetry. And this formal
beauty surprises in unexpected places.
When OIphant and Blanche start upon
their honeymoon.
at wasn't a hanson in which he drove
with her to Victoria. it was a celestial
car"
Half page later.
at wasn't a celestial ear in which he
drove with her from Victoria to their
apartment, it was hansom''
There is an ever present allusiveness
that is never Elusive. Added to these is
the wrought beauty Of phrase after phrase.
One instance will illustrate. Oliphant, his
last promising chance for "shop" gone,
stands in the Strand before the restaurant
in which the prosperous manager, once
friend, is eating.
"The odour of the restaurant mrked in
his nostrils enticingly, and n passing ON
nibus threw a eliot of mud in his face"
Two clauses sum up much of the lives of
the ELEPHANTS and the Kents and all the
story of those who fail of the heights.
Such touches make the books golden.
An odd feature Of the stories is the
way they dovetail into one another. The
incident of the desire to return to Now
bray Lodge and the childhood sweet
heart, Mary Page which gets few para
graphs in The ActOr-Mandger, is ex-
banded into a third of Conrad, with no
change of names. The realistic author
is the hero of Cynthia; the diverse Of
the picture, the same man at so, an I'M
considerable bore, a dispiriting cynic, is
James Ellerton, the father of Blanche in
The Actor-Mdndger Perhaps if one
had all of Merrick before MIN the two
half souls of each character would be
revealed: we might love Blanche or Eva,

'Isaacs"

COME subjects need to be carlcatured
~ done in greater than life size-in
order to give an impression Of reality.
Montague Glass early discovered this,
which may be the reason why his heroes
of the cloak and suit business are as alb
surdly real as they are really comic.
Joseph Gee, an Englishman, may not know
this, and this may explain why his ISdGcs
is not as real as he should be, nor yet as
funny as he is doubtless intended to be.
In describing the various business adven-
lures of his smart young Cockney Jew Of
the East End of London, Mr.. Gee seems to
have been handicapped by just this fear
of caricature. Perhaps after all it takes
a Potash to slapstick Perlmutter with
the fullest joy and the most uproarious
results.
Mr. Gees Isaacs is a young Russian
Jew born in London-or-er, that is, he
was born In Russia, since this is war
time book; oh, well, anyway, he wasn't
strong enough to be soldier; and, as with
Shaw's little barber who has tidy bust
ness down Shoreditch way, it would have
been a crime, as Isaac says of himself, to
put man with his trading and business
abilities into khaki.
And speaking Of trading, did you ever
stop to think, Isaacs asks US, that Jew
generally seeks TO trade in things that
have no absolute value, such as furs or
jewels7 Isaacs's adventures include, be-
sides furs and jewels, raffles and insur-
ance and fires-and the usual thing. AL
though be is hoaxed by bogus German
spy, the only time he is absolutely bested
is when he meets his friend from the
North. By the time the Scotchman is
through with the Jew he has departed,
leaving note behind saying: "We1l be
pluckin' more geese at Carricknamuir in
the autumn. Come up" And Isaacs
makes the mourful comment: "0ne thing
I'm sure Of IA there's any Yid Twin up
there it's only because they've skinned
i'm so clean e amt got enough cash left
to pay is fare out of the country"
On the whole, however, Isaacs can take
care of himself, and only occasionally has
to call upon his solicitor, who tells the
story. When the German spy pounces on
Isaacs in the restaurant with the exclama-
ton, "What luck?" Isaacs cyrils "Who
for? You or me" 1t is on another oc-
casion that Isaacs says: my lendin' days
Saturday, and on that day my place O.
business is closed-or ought to be. Good
day"
Those unfortunate people whose con-
sciences would never permit them to be
thrilled by the daring and sometimes hui
name exploits of the "gentlemal burglar"
will probably find a good deal to shake
their heads over in Isadcs. But in this
ease the author will have only himself to
blame for not slapsticking little harder
instead of manifestly trying to be fair to
Isaacs, with the result that he makes him
sometimes virtuous but also dull

Heritage"

MOT very long ago, we are given to
L v understand, Hugh Walpole wrote
to a friend asking him to "look very
specially at a novel Heritage. l think
you will agree with me that it is a very
remarkable one"
Heritage is first novel by V. Sack
vile West, who is, we gather, an English
woman of a very well known family. 1t
deals with the great-granddaughter Of
Spanish dancer who was mated to an
English soldier of fortune. Ruth Pen
nistan is a simple Kentish country girl.
She is madly loved by her cousin, who
shares with her the strain of Spanish
blood. The novel deals almost entirely
with the extent of her heritage of South
ern heat and instability. An Englishman
of unusual introspectiveness tells the first
part of the story, another EnglislIman of
equal inwardlookingness is actor and mar
rator of the second part of the tale, and
the story is finished by means of an in
credibly long letter written by English
man No. to Englishman No. 2.
The novel itself is a striking but partly
unsuccessful piece of writing. The au-
thor, like Henry James, is overcome with
the sense of how melodramatic our lives
are, at bottom. Like Mr.. James she
hovers continually on the brink of this
melodrama, but never uncovers it.
