Marine Marksman Sets New Mark for Speed and Consecutive Hits Caldwell, N. J., Aug. 12. A rec ord of 45 consecutive "bull's-eyes" at 600 yards, without telescopic sights, was made here today by Corp. Clarence P. Kennedy of the marine corps rifle range detach ment, Quantico, Va., in .the mem bers' match of the National Rifle association. Although a . perfect score consisted of only 10 "bull's eyes", Kennedy continued shooting until he made a "four" on the 46th shot. He averaged three shots a minute, a speed record for the match. ' " , Continued bad shooting weather and a rain squall which blew up dur ing the second 'relay, caused 200 contestants to drop out. Ten of the 400 remaining entrants made perfect scores, and nearly all con-, tinued shooting in the hope of pass ing the high mark made by Ken nedy. But the nearest approach was 21 consecutives. scored by J. W. Hession of the New York Ath letic club team, who won second place. Exhibition Base Ball. Harrisburg. Pa.. Aug. 1!.- R. H.

New records for the American amateur trap shooting championship and the pro fessional championship of the Grand American handicap trapshooting tournament were established this afternoon when the winners in the respective events, Frank M. Troeh, Vancouver, Wash., and Bart Lewis, Auburn, 111., broke the entire 200 targets thrown. Never before in competition from 18 yards had the entire program been run without a miss. The best previous performance at 18 yards was by Troeh here two years ago, when he won the event with 199 out of 200. J. E. Jennings, Todmorton, Can., was second to Troeh with 198. Wool folk Henderson of Lexington, Ky., champion of that state, and T. L. Edens, Phoenix, Ariz., Arizona champion tied for third place with 197. Henderson won the place in three shoot-offs. For the professionals, Charley Spencer of St. Louis, Mo., and Fred Gilbert Spirit Lake, la., each broke 198 targets with William Crosby, O'Fallon, 111., next with 197. The squad in which Troeh shot composed of Mark and Nick Arle, Chan Powers and E. V. Kirby, broke 977 of 1,000 targets thrown. That also was a new world's record for 18 yards. The scores in this championship also decided the makeup of the east and west teams to contest Thurs day, the highest ten men from each section making the teams. In order to reduce the teams to 10 men each some shoot-offs will be necessary because of ties. The qualifying shooters are: West Troeh, Vancouver.

I Monr one: OVER" WlTITDlWSTUEft ARMY CHOW. N the new parable of feeding the multitude with fWe fishes, the quintet of fishes are whales. L'ncle Sam is going to flatter the high expense of living, which is a bigger job than ironing a giraffe's full dress collar. 3 Uncle Sam's method of slapping the profiteers is to toss army chow at the public in habit-forming quantities. The prohiboozinists solved the large cost of food and drink by eliminating the booze from the tournament. We're glad that there aren't any proohifoodinists. Living is costly, but folks like to go on living just for the fun of complaining about it. Ten years ago you could grab a meal check for two smackers that was good for 20 meals. The check was good evetn if the meals weren't. Ten megs a nosebag. Now, if a guy lamped a hneal check he would but ter it and eat it. All the saloons had free'lunch counters where you could grab all you could eat and some things you couldn't. That 'was before they turned the lumber yards into breakfast food factories. A hokey who went shopping along the stage entrances to the Fifth avenue mansions could pick up some swell garbage. Boats used to sail up New York harbor with their decks stacked with food. All that is out. The profiteers have stacked the deck. Where are the fat birds who used to play food golf every meal? The old game of food golf consisted of eating nine holes along your belt. When you had let out nine new links in the waist harness the game was over. Since the food profiteeers busted into the works, those same fat cuckoos can use a napkin ring for a belt. Where is the old-fashioned sapp who used to perch two feet away from the table and then eat himself right up to the old table? If he started two feet away these rays, he would be a yard away when he quit. What's become of the old-time leaf tables with the extra extensions that mother kept under the kitchen sink? When dinner time came around, the old man used to dive under the sink, where he felt right at home, and grab two extra leaves. They don't need extension tables for the food you get now. There ain't any chow. Only use for the dinner table at dinner is for the old man to park his brogans on. The army chow may solve the food problem, birds who have had enough of it. but we know of 4,000,000 The first bunch about 400 carloads. of military biscuits is on the fire now. There are 40 10 10 20 10 10 100 50 100 20 10 20 carloads baked beans, carloads army beans, carloads navy beans, carloads lima beans, carloads string beans, carloads canned beans, carloads dried beans, carloads wax beans, carloads Mex hopping carloads Boston beans, carloads bean bag beans, carloads beanless beans. beans You can pipe that there is a great variety in the army menu, the variety consisting mostly in the number of carloads. When we all get to scoffing the regular olive drab army cookies, table etiquet will change like the map of Europe. When the bugle shirps "Come and get it" the Riverside Drive bugs will tumble out of the inlaid marble barracks and pile into the Circassian walnut mess halls. When the army starts dishing out the food to citizens, the folks want to remember that your mess gear must be spotless at all inspections. Prune seeds must be thrown into the third barrel from the left. The tin dish must shine until you can see your face in it, although after a bird lias been scoffing army chow for a few monts he hasn't any desire to see his face in an army dish. Something is sure to crack under the strain, and it won't be the dish. Slumgullion is also a good chow. Slumgullion is the same as hash, except for the extra two-and-a-half syllables. Hash would be a much shorter and convenienKname for it, but nothing is popular in the army that cuts down the paper work. On holidays the government will dish out rice pudding, which is the Sunday name for slumgullion. Under government food rules all cities over 50,000 in population will probably be allowed extra rations of army pastry, which is rubber hot water bags coated with chocolate.

PAUL BASE BALL DAY IS SET FOR SEPT. 1 4 Championship Series in Three Closes of Amateur Ball , Teams to Start in Both Cities. Omaha and St. Paul day will be celebrated in amateur base ball cir cle Sunday afternoon, September 14, when championship games will be staged in both cities between the winners of class A, B and C for supremacy honors. N According to information received from St. Paul this morning by Sec retary J. J. Isaacson of the Municipal Amateur Base Ball association, two of St. Paul aggregations, champions of the St. Paul Amateur Base Ball association will play here, and Oma ha will send their class B city champs to the northern city. According to the ruling made by the Western Amateur Base Ball as sociation, of which Omaha and St. Paul are members, the class A teams, such as the Murphy-Did-lts, Holmes White Sox and Nebraska Power company, will be classed as class A. A., and the class B winners, such as the Riggs, Western Lnion and winners of the City and Church league, are classed as class A, while the class C champions, are known as class B. Murphys Loom Up. The winners of the Greater Oma ha league, Omaha's crack class A circuit, which no doubt will be the Murphy-Did-lts, will meet the class A. A. champs, in the first game of the inter-city series to determine the 'world's western amateur champion ship of the Western asociation. This game will be played here, as will the game between Omaha's class C win ners and St. Paul's class B champs. The game between the class C and St. Paul's class B will not be for a championship title, but just to give the northern lads an opportunity to visit Omaha. It has been the cus tom of both St. Paul and Omaha associations to give their pennant winning teams in each class a trip at the end of the season, and since Omaha for the past several years' have sent their teams to St. Paul, it was decided to give the nothern lads a chance to play here. The contest between Omaha's class B winners and St. Paul's class A champions will be played at St. Paul and will be for a champion ship title. Where the games will be played is still an uncertainty, but it is likely that they will be held at Luxus park, as this is the only enclosed amateur park in the city. Location Still Uncertain. Many of the directors are in fa vor of staging these games at either Fontenelle park or Thirty-second and Dewey avenue, with the former park in perference, as it is pointed out that one' of the biggest crowds that has ever attended an amateur or professional game in this part of the country will be in attendance. However, it is not certain whether the city commissioners will grant the Municipal association this favor, since it is planned, if the games are staged on the Muny parks, to charge admission.

The Larsen creek and Elk mountain for est fires in the Clearwater national forest, 60 miles across the moun tains from Missoula, are running wild and have swept beyond con trol, according to messages received at district headquarters here of the forest service. The fire fighters' camp at Elk mountain was de stroyed. The crews fighting the Atlas creek blazes have abandoned the fight as hopeless and have concentrated their efforts on the Camp Mildred fire, which is threatening valuable stands of government timber. There are 11 uncontrolled fires on the Selway forest' in Idaho. A new blaze is reported on Fish creek, near Cyr, Mont., in the Lolo forest and the Gold creek, fire is threaten ing to join several smaller fires. The situation is regarded as very threatening. A large fire is blazing on the southern edge of, the Cabinet forest, working into the upper end of Four Mile Gulch, in the Lolo forest. The Warm Springs creek fire, in the Bitter Root forest, broke loose and destroyed a camp, the fourth to be burned in the district this season. OVER 40 TENNIS PLAYERS ENTER CITY TOURNEY: Almost Half of Entries Are New Ones to Local Title ' Meets, Developed on Muny Courts. Over 40 Omaha tennis players have already entered tha annual city , tournament to be held at the Field club beginning Saturday afternoon. Almost half of the men entered ire proteges of the municipal courts. The remainder represent Omaha's various country clubs. New players to appear are: A. J. Huenagard, James Reynolds, a St.. Joseph player of ability; Jolly, Jack Peacock, Russel Purinton, J. A. Bradley, T. G. Hagcy, A. Benson,. -G. C. Halsey, William Funk, Ed Ma loney and Charles Stenecka. Many of the above are from' the municipal courts. The older tennis sharks who have added their names to the list include Cedric Potter, lob-killer of the old set; Dr. Van Camp, the champion kidder of them all, with the possible exception of Spike Ken nedy, Guv Beckett, Ed O'Neil; Capt. Heyn, who taught the German a little tennis; Joan Aiaonen, wno, with Spike Kennedy, made an ex tremely dangerous doubles team. Other players who are expected to give a good account of themselves are George Stocking, John Brother ton, Frank Garey and Bert Rantz. Ralrh Newell, Carter Lake cham pion, is expected to enter and may upset the dope. Garey was runner up in Nebraska state tournament in 1915 ,and is also considered eligible for some of the honors. A large number of entries' is ex pected yet from the players on mu nicipal courts.

Entries may he telephoned in to the Omaha Field club up to Friday evening. Play in singles will begin Saturday at 3:30 p. m. Consolation events will be staged in both singles and doubles.
