The avornga amateur or novlco at the trap , nnd occasionally the o wlio have 3atl consul- orablo experience In target nnd llvo bird , ihootlne. are wont to Indulge In much worry and reerot that they are not able to invest several hundred dollars In a Greener , Scott , Westloy Hlchards or some other European manufacture , or are unable to dispose of a Parker , Smith or Lefovre , so they may bo able to purchase a gun of foreign make. If they could go up against the traps with their ideal gun , they are well satisfied of their capability of making wonderful cores. Just now foolish are such regrets and Jond hopes only a time-seasoned expert , with the scales ot many victims strung to hi ) belt , or ono wno has made practical tests and experi ments , can best loll. Beginners at the trap should always boar In tnlnd thnt , in ulna cases out of ton. where good scores are not made , the fault Is with the Bhooter and not In the cun. Wullo be ginner * may occasionally make good scores , high averages can only bo mnlntalted after years of frequent and constant practice. Jshclu , uarolesily or Improperly loaded , have caused more misses than do the gulis used , when it happens that the shooter Is In good form ana yet is not able to make a good American manufacturers , such as the Lo- feyro Arms company , and a half dozen other makers that might bo named , turn out guns which * for fineness of finish , excellence of pattern and all-round lasting and shooting qualities , are not excelled by any gun manu- iucturod. In the construction ol their guns the best material obtainable Is united with the highest scientific methods and practical ideas thatoars of experience and observa tion can suggest , and every useful Invention of the ago U utilized , and to glvo out the impression that American manufacturers , loading the world as thov do "In all otncr lines , are playing second llddlo In the matter of guns , is to wiliull lint our gun manufacturers are bchlilcl the times , ana this no ono qualified to bay can truthfully admit. Hut , sava the amateur , Klllott and other experts use Urccner's or bcott's. How Uo you get around ouch lactsl The answer Is very simple. European manufacturers do not lacK In enterprise and do/eus ot the Unest experts nro paid to shoot their guns as an advertise ment and no doubt from a business stand point it pay * the American exnort to shoot an KnplUh gun. A numerous class of sports men not ranuing as exports are using and making much noise about the superior quali ties of a gun of foreign make , but the truth of the matter Is this class of sportsmnn as a rule purchase such cutis because they are "Kucllsb.hilo lovers of the gun , field and trap are conceded to bo mortals of more than ordinary Intelligence , they arc , like the followers of every other profession or line of business , not exempt from light headed Individuals who break their nocks In their baste to take up with the latest "fad. " If it should bo noised about that it was "Knglish" and not "Injun , " and the proper thing to do to go after eecse or boar with u bow and arrow , those same deluded mortals would drop their foreign euns and equip themselves after the manner of aboncines. The amateur at the trap or in the field rcay put it down as a safe rule to go by , that American guns are as good as human Inge nuity can produce , and peed enough for a large majority of the ablest exponents of field and trap shooting , und if ho be pos sessed of the common spirit of patriotism , ho will give up his longing for something "English" and tlo to a gun of honest Ameri can make.

It will bo a pull to the finish , anil It li safe to say will bo witnessed by thousands of the followers of each team. The condition ol thu match can be learned from the articles of agreement entered Into In this ofllco last Tuesday morning.

An Old Ijincl Mark Dliapprnrlng , Tbo eternity of the past and future Is a stupendous subject for contemplation , but It Isn't a marker to old Hick Carpenter's career as a ball player. Way back In the dark ages when Cincinnati was known a Fort W ash- Ington , Hick began his career as a third baseman - man for tha loam representing the stockado. Daniel UOOQO was on first , Simon Kcn'.on eecond , Ulrty short and Carpenter on third. And It Is said , oven unto this dav. that the old battery. Lew Wotzcl and Mad Anthony Wayn , was the best that ever stopped on thu diamond. Hut all of these old timers , save Illrk , have Joined the pale caravan these many , many years. The forest has progressed to the empire , and In turn decay has a raw n his grassy mantle orer this ; now empires have arisen , only to bo successively crushed out under the relentless tread of tlmo ; swarms and swarms of life , bum in , animal and vegetable , bavo glanced and dis appeared , yet old Hick sticks Imperishable as the pyramids of Eyot. laitlng as the rock of Gibraltar Subllmo as his existence is , however , it carries no weight with Indianapolis , a mcro buffalo wallow when Hick was knocking out two sackers , three sackers and homers down at old fort Du Quesne , and ho says ho must go and take a seat on the bench In that ptilcontolozi- cat homo that has long sheltered such pil grims as Jasu Nelson , Dlckoy Pearce , Llo Hike , Cbarllo Swoasy , Dick Hlgham and Lew Dickorson. This" Is doubly sad when you consider that U has always boon thought a ball player could not grow too old , too do- cropld or paralytic for Indianapolis I \Vlmt the llulo U for. It Is high tlmo President Williams was in structing the club managers o ( tbo Western league that it is compulsory on them to play off ttcir postponed games on the succeeding day , the weather permitting. That Is why section , 43 was inserted in the league's con stitution , and It is not optional with Manager Itotvo or any ono olio whether they play or not. Tbo rule says they must , It makes no difference whether two games for ono admis sion draws nnv bettor than one game or not. That Is not the point. It gives the clubs an opportunity to got in a full schedule ami keep thelroUlclal standing cor rect. Another thing might bo understood too , first as last , and that is when two games are played for ono admission , the visiting club receives but ono guarantee. The Xu- llqnnl loacuo Is living up to the rule , and tbo Western league should bo made to. If this had been done , the Omahas' standing today would unquestionably bo much higher than it isas they would have bad the advantage of playing four or fivomoro regularly scheduled games on their own grounds , in which their chances for victory are always much larger than thov are aoroad. As tbo case noiv stands , Omaha raav possibly get to play off two or three of her nlno postponed games The l.img lilt lleconi. Up to date the long hit record of the Omaha ball team is a meager one , whi h In a meas ure is accountable for by the fact that none of tha team have yet struck their normal gait with tno sticit , and that the poor ball being furnished Dy Ueach greatly militates against long hits. A single is all the best hitters can expect , and so far thov have been eminently satisfied with this. During the nine games plavcd on the homo grounds but ono homo run was made and that by Camp over the right field fence ; three three-bag gers , two by Vickery and ono by Fitzgoruld ; and live two-sackora. three bv Kelly , ono by Kowo and one by Vickery. No homo runs are accredited to any of the visiting teams , und out four three-bagpors by Nichol of To ledo , O'Kourko.ana Brcckenrldgo of Colum bus , and Lawrence of Indianapolis ; four two-baggers , by Alvord of St. Paul , Newell of Toledo , and O'Brien ana Carpenter of In dianapolis. Lost year iu tbo first nine games on the homo erounds there wore tnroo homers made , five thrao-baggers and fifteen two-bapgors , but Shannon's Lambs were 111 the lino-it trim and wore using legitimate base balls , not sponges , to play with.

H has been intimated several times in these columns that Jocko Halligan wouldn't hold his position on Cincinnati's regular team through the first month of the championship season , and sure enough ho was retired to the bench on Monday last ana Eddie Burke installed in right field in his placa. As a fielder IlalUgau is u dead failure and hU wo k on tha lines has given all Cincinnati the night sweats. "From a terror with the stick , " remarkeu the Cincinnati Times-Star of Tuesday , "Hallican has dwindled to a feeble .100 per center. " The only place , it seems , where Halllgan could bo profitably utilized in fast companv Is behind the bat. Ho is raoro than an ordinarily clover back stop , throws finely , and with the sticit can generally be relied on , although bo falls down for weeks at a time. l'l > nnit Dim u the Lines. Indianapolis Is slckof the millennium plan , and by the way , whalsn'tl Outfielder Sandy Grlftln has been informed that ho must play in Uingbamton or get up on the band wagon. And now Kid Baldwin would like to play for even cigarette money. The Pacific Northwest league has given him the run. The Western loacuo asserts that J.

The cold , wet , backward spring is espec ially unpropitious for breeders and many valuable foals bavo been lost iu consequence. Mr.f. . A. Paxton , Jr. , reports three at the Keystone farm. This is quito a financial , as weil as a vexatious , loss. Mr. Paxton has spent time , money and study without stint and is deserving of every success. Fred T.
