LEADHANGS0N
BATTLE TODAY
Shops and Navy Ready for
Important Game-Inde-
pendent Title Open.
By JACK HAAS.

There should be lots doing on the
sandlots this week in the final clash
of the teams interested in the Dis
triCt championship series. Shops
of the Terminal 'Y" League, and
Navy, representative of the Gov~r-
ment League, are now tied for frs,
honors. and both teams are claim
ing that it will be broken up in this
afternoons contest. 1t will likely
be settled, but to choose which team
will be leading the first section to-
morrow is a conundrum.
Navy Yard, in the second section
has lead of two games over Naval
Air Station, of the Potomac League,
and Knights of Columbus, having
beaten both teams in the only two
games that have been played. 1t
appears that Navy Yard has the
bulge on Naval Air and X of C.'s.
although the Potomac League win
ners may come in strong at the
finish.
The race for the Independent title
is not confined to any one team.
Silver Spring. Brookland A. c,
Shamrock, G. P. O.. Winston,
Aloysius, Congressionals. Mohawks
Rapid A. c., and the Peerless A. c.,
teams. winners in their first con-
tests, still have a chance, and the
final winner will not be determined d
until next week.
The race for The Heralds junior
independent championship of the
District has now narrowed down to
five teams, and the sixth will be
decided when Cavaliers and Rem
roCs meet this afterp"Hn. The win
ner of this game Will play the Hill
tops tomorrow, Petworth will play
Parks on Wednesday, and the Yam
KEGS will play Maryland Juniors
Thursday. The WHINE rof the game
Tuesday will play the winner of
Wednesdays game on Friday, and
this winner will play the lads who
come out on top in Thursdays bat
tie on Saturday afternoon at p. m.

Indians Are Silent
On Anti-Mays Petition

What has become of the al
legged petition sent out by the
Cleveland players in regard to
the Mays case?
Washington players still deny
having received it.
Manager Speaker says he is
unable to cast any light on its
contents.
And the Cleveland players are
all mum on the subject.
Indications are that nothing
more will be done in the case for
some time, though later develop
ments may bring some kind of
action or a renewed discussion.

NATIONALS DEFEAT TRIBE 32GNTS GAIN ON CINCINNATI M MEET OPP
SHOOTING CLAY BIRDS MUCH MORE EXCITING
THAN MOVIES, SAYS NEW WOMAN CHAMP

A woman's eye is just as keen,
her nerves just as steady, and her
judgment equally as good as a
mans in trapshooting. The only
reason there are so few crack shots
among women is the general tim
idity which they have in handling
firearms.
This is the opinion of Mrs. Judd
II. Bruff. of Pittsburgh, Pa, the
new woman national trapshooting
champion.
.'Trapshooting has the movies
beaten country block" she says,
"and 1t is much more exciting.
when l first began to. shoot,
three years ago, the recoil of the
gun made my arm and shoulder
black and blue. The noise of the
shotgun made me almost deaf. I
was afraid of the gun. That was
what was the matter with my be-
ginning.
0vercomes Fear.
"My husband was a good shot and
l determined to learn to shoot cIay
pigeons so as to keep him company
at the tournaments. l soon learned
how to hold the gun properly so 1t
wouldn't hurt my shoulder. / put
cotton in my ears and went to 1t.
Amy woman can learn to be a
good shot If she will forget she is
handling a gun. II she uses it with
as much precision as she does a
bread knife, or broom, it won't
hurt her.
The eye of n woman is as keen
as that of man and her nerves lust
as steady. | sometimes think her
judgment is better.
I'D advise any woman to learn to
shoot. A skinny person can handle
a shotgun just as we'll as a big
woman. I'm pretty big but that
makes no difference. 4 child can
shoot shotgun"
Eyes Count Most.
Mrs. Bruff weighs 1872 pounds. She
maintains II isn't her weight that
makes her good shot. It's her
eyes. They are brown. She saws
that Frank Troch's theory about the
gray blue eye being the keenest for
snsoting is probably true She pre-
diets that the next woman champion
VIII likely have blue eyes.
She won the woman's national
championship at the Grand Ameri-
can Amateur Trapshooting tourna-
ment in Cleveland last week with
score of IS birds out of a possible
100.
