Fire Under Field Conditions.
In skeet-or clock shooting as it
used to be called-clay targets are
thrown from two traps, one high and
one low, facing the ends of a semi
circle. The shooter, using a shotgun,
fires from seven different stations
around the half circle and from an
other station midway between the two
target houses. Thus skeet requires
firing from practically all angles and
the shooter is confronted with nearly
the same conditions met while in the
field.
Washington, one of the most skeet-
conscious cities in the country, Is
ringed about with clubs-the National
Capital. Kenwood, Griffith Farms,
Ager Road and others throughout
Maryland and Virginia. Earlier this
month the National Capital Club

NEW LONDON, Conn, June "a
Yale and Harvard, foes on land and
water since the Stone Age of American
college sport, renew their oldest rival
~ late today when their varsity crews
meet on the Thames River in one
of the most brilliant settings of the
postwar era.
Trained to a knife edge, the two
stalwart eights we'll may row one OF
the most stirring duels in the history
OF the Thames classic. Forgotten
are the days when the Bulldog and
John Harvard had to take the wash
of every other crew in the country
Ivy rowing enthusiasts are sure there
are no finer crews in the world than
these two unbeaten eights
More than the usual assortment of
yachts and pleasure craft will be on
hand to watch not only the 4-mile
varsity race at $40 pm. (E. s. T.),
but the freshman and junior varsity
races over a Emile course this morn
ing.
Harvard, loudly proclaimed the
greatest Crimson eight in a decade,
Is favored to win the varsity duel.
Two men mainly are responsible
for the Cantab's high rating. They
are Tom Bolles. the tall, quiet fellow
who signed up with the Crimson after
coaching successful freshman eights at
Washington, and Stroke Spike Chace.
Since assuming command of Har-
wards rowing, Bolles has lost only
one race, the Childs Cup to Navy
q year ago, and whipped Yale soundly
IN this all-important 4-miler last year.
Chace is without doubt the main
spring Of the Harvard eight A master
Judge of pace and a powerful oars
man, he has the confidence and de-
termination to pull the best from the
boat.
Chace's one fault has been a ten
dency to ease off against what he con-
sidered weaker competition. 1t was
present against Columbia, undoubt-
edly an inferior crew. and it allowed
the desperate Light Blue to stay with
the Crimson half way down the course,
Yale Sets Record.
Such procedure would be suicide
against Yale. The Ellis boast no
standout in well-knit assortment Of
oarsmen. But Howard johnson, the
Yale stroke oar. is canny and he has
an especially strong contingent in the
waist of the boat to call upon for
power.
Lewis Johnson, last years stroke,
Is at No. 4; Willard Brown, No. 4 last
June. is at No. 2, and Granger Frost
at No. 3. The trio can match Har-
wards power if not its finesse
To Harvard goes the edge in expert
ence and leadership, the latter through
Chaces superiority to every stroke in
the Nation, with the possible exception
of Washington's Don Hume To Yale
goas slight edge in raw power, rep
utation for sturdiness under fire and
credit for tremendous incentive-a
victory over Harvard after three bad
beatings.
One other fact gives the Blue sup
porters hope. Yale licked Cornell by
a greater margin than did Harvard
and set q new course record on Lake
Cayuga while doing it.

BALTIMORE, June 24.-A record

day in the qualifying round Of the
Maryland State Golf Associations
amateur championship tournament
on the Rodgers Forge course.
The defending champion, Volney
Burnett Of Indian Spring, appeared
likely to run into some stif1 COM
petition, with several former cham
pions and Baltimore's sensational
Otto Greiner in the field.
Greiner, recent winner Of the
State collegiate crown and the
Middle Atlantic champion. annexed

Washington women have walked off
with the Maryland championship so
often in recent years that the old mug
must have come to regard the Capital
as its permanent home. Helen Dett-
weller is the present champion and will
be the gal to lick next year at Manor.
Raven-haired Otto Greiner, the for

It was good enough to win the title
with flock of strokes to spare. He
left Bobby Brownell, the 1887 cham
pion, far back. Bobby played well, he
said. with rounds of 76 and rs, but
he didn't have the magic putting of
Greiner, nor his steadiness through

tive amateur course record. David
Ross of Capital had 1872; Earle Skinker

Sharkey of Indian Spring. one of the
favorites for the title, didn't play. They

A PIG owned by IN Irish Canadian
living on tiny San Juan Island,
near Vancouver, back in 1859, re-
peatedly rooted up potatoes belonging
to Layman Culver, an American liv.
ing on the same island. Finally Cul-
yer killed the pig and the Irishman
declared he would appeal for redress
to Britain's highest court.
To which Culver replied. San Juan
is American territory" The squabble
reached high courts of both coun-
tries, but nobody knew whether the
island was American or British, be-
cause commissioners who had drafted
the boundary treaty were vague in
their description Of the water-channel
dividing line.
British and American troops were
sent to the scene and all available
American military forces on the
Pacific Coast were concentrated there.
Thus the situation stood on San Juan
for . number Of years. The dispute
was finally submitted to Kaiser vii.

Bright Clothes for Children
You may not like wildly colored
clothes, but they are the safest
thing to wear in traffic. 1t is adj

Save Salty Water.-When water
in which salt has been boiling is

coal last longer and improves bad

Well-Fitting Hose. - Children's
stockings ought to be selected
carefully. Short ones cramp toes
and will eventually make them

stockings each morning. Don't al
low your youngsters to wear ga
loshes in the house or classroom.
Keeping Paint.-If a can of
paint has to be left open, stir it
thoroughly, so as to dissolve all
the oil, then fill up with water.
When it becomes necessary to use
the paint pour off the water and
you will find it as fresh as when
first opened.

apples through the winter, bore
holes in the bottom and sides of
a barrel and store on a dry plat
form a foot or more from the

are available for storage, good
plan is to carefully wrap them
