Not one scientific blow was directed
by either ole during the six rounds.
They were slow as a Linglestown

legs wide apart it took a minute to
start a blow.
The opening bout saw Young Full

Johnny Herman, the Reading

Dauphin-Per League
Expects to Get Into
Action This Season

After being inactive last year for
League, which furnished an exciting
brand of baseball for three Dauphin
and three Perry county teams for
the three years preceding last,
promises to become active again this
season.
With the war ended, the baseball
fans in the several towns Of the cir
cult are again lining up in favor
of the league and are putting strong
efforts to bring abouts its reoreani-
zation. A meeting for the near fu-
ture is being planned, one of those
most active in working for the lea
gue's revivication said to-day.
Duncannon, the only town of the
six league towns that supported n
team last season, is already making
plans for this season and will put
a team in the field whether or not
the league is reorganized. But the
supporters of baseball in that bor-
ough are particularly anxious to
have the league get in operation
again and are among the most ac-
tive workers to bring about that re-
suit
Newport and Millersburg are con-
sidered as certain to Join in the for
nation of the league. General opin-
ion is that Marysville, too, VIII fall
in line, although at present every
thing appears to be somewhat DOR
mant in the railroad borough. Dsu-
phin and Halifax, the other two
towns of the league, are considered
as decidedly uncertain propositions.
Those most active in endorsing
to bring about the reorganization OF
the league feel certain that expenses
must be limited much more strictly
than they were during previous
years. Expenses then were decided
ly high, far above the figure that

ANSWERS TO NIMRODs
Question:
When attending the Grand Ameri-
can Handicap last year noticed the
dinerent positions of men at the
trap? Also noticed some men point
ed their guns directly over the tran
house, low down, while others point
ed the muzzle of their guns high in
the air. Which is the proper posi-
ton at trap and which is the correct
method of holding a gun?
THOMAS aHENDRICKSON.
Louisville, Ky.
Answer:
Take a position at the trap. which
is easy TO yourself. favoring the
bird or angle that seems to give
you the most difficulty. by turning
Your feet and body in that directly
to slight degree. In my Judgment
the best results are obtained by
holding just above the traphouse
which enables one to see the target
at the time of its immediate start
from the trap. Keep both eyes open
locate the target as soon as possible
after its start and shoot just as soon
as you can pull yourself together for
concentration.

ture of powder which cost me $500.
Am told the formula is not safe.
please advise me as 1 would like to
make powder both as diversion and

Answer:
You have been UP against the old
fake, which some people have been
working for years. Your formula is

Many guns have been bursted with
