.PORTS OF ALL SORTSI NEW OF NEREST FROM AND NEAR On tIe Firing Line at Caldwell By "HANiK." (Special Correspondent of the Bulletin.) Caldwell, N. J.. Aug. 15.-I have nothing of importance .to occupy my attention today, as 1 failed to respond to the roll out call at 5:15 this morn ing. being decidedly under the weather with a severe cold and gen eral tough feeling. Have taken several different doses of as many different, remedies on advice of thy friends. Am feeling somewhat re lieved, but still weak. Was entered in today's match, the r1apid-fire match at 200 yards, call ing for 10 shots each in the kneeling and sitting positions. However, was )in no condition to shoot. One does not stand mitch cllance if nc t in con dition and you need all the best of the breaks to even come close to the leaders. The U. S. marine is uphold ing his reputation as a straight shooting asset of our defensive forces. I look for the marines to capture the majority of all contests held during the matches at Caldwell. As an illustration of how the ma rine is trained in the use of the rifle, I will state that the world's record was broken last Tuesday by a ma rine; Coi-poral Clarence P. Kennedy, who was not considered as anything out of the ordinary as a rifle shot. Kennedy was not good enough to make any marine team, but attended the matches as an individual. He entered the members' match, which calls for two sighting shots and 10 shots for record at 600 yards, posi tion prone, any rifle, any sight and any ammunition. Kennedy began shooting on target No. 60 about 11 a. m., under what riflemen consider ideal conditions. He used a Spring field rifle as issued on the grounds, and ammunition as issued. He did .not have the use of a telescope, field glasses or anything whatever, com monly used by many riflemen. This rifleman laid down in the mud with nothing but a rifle and ammunition and after using what ammunition he had, called to different persons in the audience for more ammuni tion. His record was 45 straight .:'j.bullseyes, going out on his forty sixth shot. This constitutes a world's record for long runs in a recognized match. The longest being 53 straig'ht at 600 yards, but it was not shot in a match. The longest previous run in a match was 24 straight. Kennedy seemed to look lightly on his achievement, al though he stated that his highest previous score had been but 46 cut of a possible 50 points at 600 yards. There were many other excellent scores made in the members' match. but thPey were overshadowed by Kennedy's exhibition. Those who1 STI NOING OF TIHE CLUBS NATIONAL L.8EAGI'T. Won. Lost. PCet.

Yob were high men in the Montana team, par ticipating in the members' match. with scores of 4'4 each. Yesterday saw the last stage of the Marine Corps cup match, the 1,000 yarnt stage completed after a post ponement of half a day on account of rain and wind. lack Derville was the high man from Montana, with 95 at 600 yards and 90 at 1,000 yards, for a total of 185 and twenty second place. The 1,000 yards saw a lot of trouble in front of most of the rifle experts. You could view many complete scores of 22 shots having been fired and not a hit hav ing been registered on the target. Also several scores of but one and two hits on the target. It is not all the man's fault who does such things, but luck or chance plays no little part in your score. If you are fortunate in being able to get on the firing point when conditions are fav orable, you will more than likely do well. Hlowever, get down in adverse conditions and away to a poor start, many men get worse instead of bet ter as his score increases. Tomorrow we have two six-men teams entered in the state t~pm con test. We are shooting the regula tion national teain match course, and will get a line on what our chances are in the big match which comes later. Tomorrow also is the day the off hand contest is scheduled. This match calls for two sighting shots and 20 shots for record, any rifle weighing not more than 12 pounds and any sight not containing glass-.... 200 yards, "A" target. The Butte bunch are entered and we hope to see some one of our crowd up around the leaders. Every body on the Montana team excepting Tom Travis and the writer are feel ing fine. Mr. Travis is still under a physician's care in New York. The writer expects to be O. K. shortly. Mr. Rutledge, our team captain, has not put in his appearance, being de layed on account of duties connected with the forest service at Missoula. P(To he Continlmed. SPORTOGRAPHY I 0- y1l "(:1RAVY." I1AY I NOT * *' * suggest that the Cincinnati i3allsheviki he disciplined iby the League of Baseball Clubs? When England Feared Black Su prenmtay. The dark cloud of black suprem acy having passed over the American prize ring, it is interesting to note that an American negro gave Eng land an awful fright in the very hey dey of her boxing patronage. It war; in 1810, and I take the facts from an old English print. The subject of the sketch was Tom Molyneaux, a slave who took his name from his owner, a wealthy planter in Virginia. It was commono practice to pit "niggers" against each other for the! amusement of their masters, and Tom showed marked skill. Algernon -Molyneaux, the planter's son, had hbacked the negro in several fights, and on one occa sion while with a gay set in Rich tmond and under the influence of li quor (a fluid used in the United States prior to July 1, 1919) accept ed a challenge involving $100,0011. On account of the great stake young Molyneaux offered his slave his freedom as a prize for winning. Tom won the fight and with it his free dom. After about five years in New York, during which he fought sever al battles, the ebony one was the first to claim the American championship. iAs the game was then, however, al most an exclusive English sport, and no white Amerlcan would probably have fought a negro, Molyneatx made his way to England to chal lenge Tom Cribb for the champion ship of the world. For a man of this despised race having sprung from slavery, to show such pluck, though it offends racial pride, arrests at tention and forces respect. Of course the idea of fighting the Eng Slish champion seemed rather ambi tious and the sable gladiator had to "go get a reputation." He battered down two worthy Englishmen, and then came his opportunity with Toum Cribb. The great battle was viewed by distinguished sportsmen and aris tocratic patrons. Imagine, if you will, this illiterate black brute who, besides his color and lowly origin, had the additional handicap of an ugly face, entering the ring to fight a white man, a very popular white man, the recognized premier fighter of the white race, and doing this in a foreign land where not a friendly eye or tongue greeted him. indeed, it was a chal lenge to the whole assemblage, for everywhere he turned he saw defi ance envisaged. To win would mean to be mobbed and yet he dared to try. Could human courage be more sublime? Molyneaux enters the ring under a pale of silence. Cribb enters with thunderous applause, Time is called. The gross Virginia nigger stands be fore the English gentleman, and the world's championship is at stake. The betting odds are 4 to 1 on the gentleman. A tense moment ensues as the men eye each other, when of a sudden Molyneaux lands a power ful blow on the ribs, but following a few exchanges the Britisher fells the black, and a tremendous cheer arises. The second round is furious. but Cribb delivers a head blow that lays Moly.neaux full length on the earth. The cheering beaaars descrin tion. As if the negro's beginllings Were i;ot lowl.y enough lie must rise from the soil i.t pursue his amhition. lie takes two blows for every one he gives buit he holds his feet. His ugly visIe assuimes hideous proportions, butl his fighting spirit never wanes. and as the rounds rotate, he knocks his opponent to his knees time and time again. The black man's strength seems to mount up as the English man's seems to recede. The ring side grows nervous and the question arises, "Should the black win after all?" So it seems, for he fells Crihb with a painful blow. Bill Richmond, ollolyneaux' negro backer, yells, "F'our to one on Molyneaux." For the conclusion of the hattle 1 quote from the English narrative: "The moment ('ribh was lifted to his feet., burist forth a cry .that was almost pathetic in its earnestness. 'Now, Tom, now, for God's sake, don't let the nigger beat you. Go for himi. Tom, go for him; old England for ever!' In the twenty-eighth round Thomas Mlolyneaux fairly won the fight, and the black awaited the award of victory, his just due, in the center of the ring. intt during the excitement Joe \Ward rushed across the ring to Bill Richmond, and nc cased him of having placed two bul lets in the black's fist. Mlolyneaux was requested to Open his hands, proving that nothing was there. The ruse, however, succeeded, and gave Cribb the opportunity to come around. As they faced each other again the champion dodged his man, and by good luck succeeded in knock ing him down. Yet nobody was quite prepared for what was about to happen. The cold had at last taken serious effect upon lhe ligger. He was seized with violent shivering, and all at once he seemed to col lapse. Cribb, seeing his condition, Idashed in at his foe, knocking him down. I1 the next round, however, the black caught his man taround the waist and threw him heavily, but in doing so pitched over him, and bi'ing ing his head in contact with one of the stakes, he lay there upon his back in a semi-stunned state. When Molyneaux was set up for the next round, he staggered, and could hardly lift his arms. Cribh struck him in the throat, and down he went again, like a log of wood. Molyneaux feebly lifted his hand and said to his second, 'Mssa Riclhmond, me can fight no more.' " And so Tom Cribb was lucky enough to remain chamulion of Eng land; but a more unfairly fought bat tle for the championship had never-- up to that lperiod, at any rate, hbeen witnessed. , The ('lass in Sportography. It was Dickey Pearce, shortstop of the old Brooklyn Atlantics, who originated the play of dropling a fly ball in order to make a double p1lay.
