LONE GUN CLUB
IN LOCAL FIELD

Washington Gun Club was the only
organization fostering trapshooting

Early in the year it moved to its new
home. q five-acre tract. equipped with
clubhouse and modern traps. adjoin-
ing the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany'S grounds near Benning. The
site formerly was occuDied by the old
Analostan Gun club. Since occupying G
its new property the Washington Gun
Club has conducted weekly shoots and
rarticinated in team ma tcles with the
Or'ole Gun Club of Baltimore.
The Baltimoreans have been defeat
ed in one OF three contests by the
Locals, but the pair of losses were
offset by g. g. F'awsett's victory in
the Maryland District of Columbia

nent ut Baltimore. The club cham
pionship at s'Xten-yard targets went
to DR.. A. V. Parsons, while r. d. Nor
gan. veteran of many Journeys. took
the distance handicap and doubles

Numerous other trophies and honors
have been distributed widely among
the members. the clubs officers hav-
ing been careful to provide handicap

BOYS SET PACE
in SOCCER PLAY

Although soccer failed to gain a
foothold in independent athletic cir
cles in the District during the pres

extent than ever before by public
school boys. Under the direction Of

tournaments ever conducted in Wash

tournaments reduced the elevens to
two, Pierce representing the eastern
division and Monroe representing the
western division. These schools met

John H. Perry and Richard Lloyd
Jones, publishers of the Jacksonville
Journal and the Pensacola Journal,
are showing their good faith in Flor

latest of which is an offer rendered
through Governor Cary A. Hardee to
the state of Florida, to appropriate a
generous fund toward state advertis-
ing fund. Mr.. Perry wires the COVER
nor that the Perry-Jones newspapers
will contribute 100000 in advertising,
distributed equally over a fve-year
period in newspapers, including the
Perry-J Jones papers, throughout the
United States, if the state of Florida
will appropriate one million dollars a
year for five years to advertise Florida
is a thorough manner to the rest of
the country.-Lakeland Star Tele-
gram.
! We daresay the offer is made in
good faith, but the governor can't &C.
cept such an offer, and we doubt that
the legislature can. The Star thinks
such contract would be very unwise
1t doesn't believe the state should &c
into the advertising business. A mil
lion dollars year spent on improv-
ing the roads will bring more people
to the state than twice that amount
spent in advertising.
