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.

Two Trapsters Break
World's Target Record
With Straights of 200
Chicago, Aug. 12. 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:

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.

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.

OMAHA- ST. 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.

MONTANA FOREST
FIRES GETTING
BEYOND CONTROL
Camp at Elk Mountain De
stroyed ; 1 1 Fierce Blazes
in Idaho Forest.
Missoula, Mont., Aug. 12. 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. It is not unlikely
that some player from municipal
courts will prove the dark horse of
the tournament, as there has been
little playing done at the clubs this
season.
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.
