Would Train Million

For War Effort
Retired Army Officer
Urges Government
And N. R. A. Tie-up

A million riflemen a month,
trained to put bullet in hothole,
for use in the armed services, State
guard units, plant protective forces
and auxiliary police. The plan, sug-
gested by Col. Ned M. Green. a
retired Army officer. would enlist
the services of the National Rife
Association and the moral support
of Uncle Sam, who would provide
sufficient ammunition for training
markSmen.
Fifty thousand riflemen enrolled
in the National Rifle Association
would provide the instructing stan
whose members would deal In funda-
mentals of rifle shooting and discard
the frills.
Went Be Target Experts.
"These million rifemen q month
will not be outstanding target shots"
says Col. Green in the American
Rifleman. magazine Of the National
Rifle Association. Most Of them
will not be able to qualify as experts
under the present Army qualinca-
ton system. Every man Of the mil
lion will. however, know which end
of the gun the bullet comes out Of,
he will know how to load his rifle.
how to get into a sling and how to
assume the prone position, and he
will be able to hit a man three or
four times out of every five shots at
200 yards"
Col. Green says that in this war
there should be no such thing as a
soldier who doesn't know how to
shoot a rifle. Rear areas become
combat areas without warning. he
adds. All branches of the military
must be prepared to fight with small
arms.
Lack Small-Arms Training.
Despite the general recognition
of this fact by our high command
both officers and enlisted men ir
these branches lack small-arms
training. They lack the training
because they lack ranges, instructors
ammunition and time. The MEM
bers of the National Rifle Associa-
ton can supply every one OF these
deficiencies if they are allowed to

the World Sc. IS record of six tri-

But they still will talk about the
fresh kid from Rodeo. Calf, 81
game winner at 81, long after he's
through-and they'll talk about his
bright sayings and antics as much
as pitching prowess.
Gomez walked into his first big
league game In 1880 against Detroit
with two on, took two long Wind
ups-and both base-runners stols
home.
Next day was in st. Paul, Lefty
recalled wistfully.
By 1882, however, he WAS back
with the Bronx Bombers and so
firmly entrenched at the tender age
Of % that he beat Lon warneke Of
the Cubs, to 2, in the first game
Of the World Series. He guessed
that was his biggest thrill, he said.
"On second thought, it wasn't"
Lefty declared. My biggest thrill
was the 81 Series game against the
Giants when I batted twice in one
inning-and both Hubbeu and Coff =
man walked me-"
He fancies himself as a hitter, like
lot of pitchers with anemic batting
averages. A standing bet, when
Babe Ruth was with the YankS, was
the Bambino's $3.50 to Lefty's $50
that Gomez wouldn't get 10 hits q
season. He won just once.
He fancies aviation, too In q 1887
Series game, with the Giants rally
ing, the deadpanned southpaw
halted the battle to squint into the
sun and watch q plane pass over
head, then resumed pitching and re-
tired the side.
Gives Ump the Bird.
Gomez never is quiet on the
bench and Umpire Bill Summers
thumbed him out of the Yankee
dugout here last summer. Wind
breaker bundled around his ears, El
Goofy slowly tapped and felt his
way across the field with a fungo
bat-his lefthanded conception Of
the red-faced arbiter's vision.
Another day last season, noting
that the youthful veterans fast ball
wasn't the flaming dart OF old,
Coach Art Fletcher advised him Ito
throw harder"
Throw harder7 I'm throwing
twice as hard as I ever did-only
not as fast" he replied.
Yes, Gomez was disappointed
that he didn't start q World Series
game last October, but he has boyish
faith in Manager Joe McCarthy's
Judgment and admits, besides, that
he was tired late in the season. He
couldn't 60 more than seven innings
before Relief Ace Johnny (Grand-
MAJ Murphy had to ride to the
rescue.

Lefty confessed, that when Nc
Carthy asked me if I felt ready to
start a game, I'd tell him:
Better find out first how Murphy
feels"
