the averages until the last month of
the year, finishing with a mark a little
less than 81 per cent. Lorenson never
shot at the traps until 1915, and from
a novice he has graduated to the ex-
pert in three years He has had num-
berless runs about so during the past
season, two better than 200 and four
better than 100.
1t was not until 1909 that the Inter-
state Trapshooting association made
any pretense of keeping records of the
long runs. Previous to that time the
long run records are difficult to dig
up, but nevertheless We have unearthed
few which will please the veterans.
In 1888 Rollo Heilkes broke 1877 in
succession at Cory. Pa. In 1892 J. E
Miller ran Isl straight at Cincinnati,
Ohio. In 1899 c. A. Young startled the
shooting world by breaking 211 straight
in a shoot at Peoria. Ill On March
IL, 1900, on the roof of Madison Square
Garden Jack Tanning ran 175 straight
shooting alone and without a rest On
June of the same year Tanning clip
ped 231 straight at Utica, n. Y. This
was the best record to that time. In
1901 at Interstate park, Long Island,
William r. Crosby broke 345 straight,
continuous shooting. In 1904 at Cam
ton, Ohio, Crosby broke 4lg straight,
which mark held good until Charley
Spencer came through In 1909 with SOS.

we had to ride on were made of sheets
of linen with thin ruber solution on
the outside, the whole fastened to the
rim solid. The valve was crude-some-
times it worked, most generally it

Bohn was classed a bearcat when it

the safeties came into style. He then

TO INSTALL LOCKER HOUSE.
The Boise Golf club will this week
install locker house at the entrance
of the links which will be moved to
the point where Brumback street runs
into the hills. Many members have al
ready signed to take lockers in the
house but there are number left
which those interested may secure.
The house will be sealed and placed
under lock and key, thus protecting the
clubs stored therein. The greens COM
mittee of the club will select the spot
for the green to be installed about 175
yards from the new teeing grounds
which will be placed near the locker
house.
COUNTRY CLUB ACTIVE.
The Country club expects to swing
into the golf season with the opening
of April and the call of spring. Mem
bers have been playing on the links
practically the entire winter The
links are in good condition but the i'm
provements planned for this season
will make them much better. The fair
ways and greens are to be re-seeded
and placed in fast condition. The pro-
fessional instructor and his wife are
expected to arrive soon and take
charge of the links and club house.
IMPROVEMENT MADE.
| Improvements made to the links Of
the Boise Golf club during the past
week, include the clearing and clean
ing of the entrance, installation of
dam in the deep hazard across No. 1
fairway installation, of temporary
trial tee for No. 8 and work on the
green's which are faster now than they
have ever been.

skillful as to dump the huge Asian's
ashes in a pile and capture the cham
pionship of Asia and the Sahara desert

The match will be preceded by sew
eral superfine preliminaries, in which
Nifty Nick" will spring several sur
prises and dark horses, who are under
oath to get in and mill with both

Expert Enthusiasts With Army

Army rifles are cracking and bullets
are singing into the five and four rings
of the targets at the Boise barrack S
rifle range this morning, for the expert
riflemen of the Boise Military Rifle
club are busily engaged in their first
practice to get in readiness to bring
home the bacon at the national tourna-

rifle sharps are shooting at 500 and
500 yards.
The shoot today Is for practice only
to get the cobwebs out of the shoot
ers' eyes and timber up the trigger

bit cramped during the winter. Scores
made today will not count on future
averages.
The officials of the club, according
to Rupert Shaw, secretary, are vet in
doubt as to whether the government
can furnish the late model Springfield
rifles and ammunition or not, but the
national board has the matter up with
the secretary of war in order to get a
reasonable price fixed for arms and
ammunition.
The boys want to get started early
this year so that members of the club
can get in trim for the state team,

ONLY FOURTEEN STARS
IN BIG LEAGUE BALL
There Are $50 Players in Major

There are only IA stars in major

$50 players will be carried by the 16
major clubs this season, yet so small
is the proportion of stars that, so far

The fact is the term star" in base
ball is abused. 1t is overdone; it is
applied too promiscuously. 1t is ap-
piled to numerous excellent, capable
players. players of the first rank who
are not real stars because they are
lacking in one or more of the qualifi-
cations which make real, a genuine
star.
The star is measured by, or should
be were the word used in its broad
sense (the sense in which it is used
and understood outside of baseball-in
which realm it is likely to receive an
