MODERN RIFLE PRACTICE-iTEACHES
MEN TO WITHSTAND FIRE OF ENEMY
PASADENA, Jan. 26.—"1 a tbe
good target shot also a good shot
on the firing line? Yes. The
man who has had target pralce
haa confidence ln his rifle, and
himself."
That's W. R. Jackson's opin
ion and Jackson was recently
awarded a trophy by Governor
Johnson of California for win
ning the rifle championship of
the atate militia.
"The main argument against
the target shot," Jackson said,
"is that in action he becomes ex
cited and forgets what he learn
ed on the riflerange. This may
have been true In the past. But
modern rifle range practice trains
a man against this very thing. A
man must learn to fire ten shots
at a disappearing target ln a
minute and a half at a range of
200 yards, and 10 shots in two
minutes and a half at a distance
of 300 yards. This necessitates
reloading once. To make your
hits you must keep your head.
"Because of our unprepared
ness we could undoubtedly be
licked ln case of war," says
Jackskon. "This Is because of
our small standing army, Its In
sufficient equipment and arma
ment and concentration of our
muntlons factories on the Atlan
tic seaboard where they would be
easily captured. Our country is
filled with men who have never
had military training or seen
actual aervice. Every citizen
should help toward preparedness
by learning to shoot."
PETER'S sW>'
IFFLE *%^c%?
Poor Tommy Weßt! He
ventured down town yester
day afternoon and he onre
looked like he needed sym
pathy. Tommy's left hand
is swathed in bandages and
looks like a ham. Four fing
ers of his right hand are ex
posed. His face is blistered
and covered with tender,
red skin. Hla angles are so
badly burned that he had to
wear slippers. West is the
popular semi-pro baseball
player who was badly burn-,
ed some time ago when he
tried to light a fire with
kerosene.
Talk about the funny
psychology of prohibition!
Everyone thought that the
pocket billiard business
would flourish, with saloons
out of business. But the
billiard men report a drop
ping off of business ever
since Jan. 1.
We know a guy who met
a fellow yesterday mho said
he heard of a man who had
liquor on his breath. Where's
County Detective Fred
Shaw?
City Detective Peter D.
McKay made a timely remark
today. "It's funny," quoth
Peter, "that these fellows
who need to say they didn't
like tho stuff and only drank
for sociability's sake, don't
hang around the saloons any
more."
If Frank Farmer and his
«hai mud-toothed manager,
Sam Howard, go on the
vaudeville stage together, as
Is reported. It will be easy to
guess which little Oshkosh
promoter of the two will de
mand the spotlight on him
all the time.

BOXING NEWS
Romeo Hagan will main
tain his present training
quarters.
Frank Farmer thinks that
the east, even if It doesn't
produce as much publicity,
la far more preferable to the
Northwest at present.
Paul Steele, the only one
of the bunch who has retain
ed his good name (and who
says he Intends to keep it)
Is getting so many boxing
students that he believes
he'll have to get busy on his
preposed new Athletic club
and gymnasium soon.
If Eddie Limberg is suc
cesHful in winning the
squash title will they call
him a cheese champion?
It is significant that as
soon as Willard and Moran
were referred to as "heavy
weight clowns," Mr. Crack
en, a circus man, began to
dicker for a match between
them. -T
Joe Bonds departed for Mon
tana last night, after a brief ses
sion in Tacoma. He will tour
the middle west, boxing Jack
Root, the human cheese.

BENJAMIN AND
MASCOT MEET
FRIDAY NIGHT
Paul Steele will leave today
for Portland, where Joe Bonja
mau, his clever lightweight pro
tege, meets Billy Mascot before
the Rose City Athletic club Fri
day night. Mascot is the boy
who recently defeated Tex Ver
non.
"If there Is any possibility of
a smell over the match, as has
occurred ln other bouts at Port
land recently, I will not allow
Joe to go on," said Steele today.
"Benjamin Is a clean boy and a
clever boxer, and I will not allow
his name to be mixed up with
anything scandolous. I believe
he can beat Mascot. The bout is
for the lightweight championship
of the Northwest"

worlds record of 70 yards in
7 1-5 seconds held by Howard P.
Drew of the University of South
ern California, was equaled by
Drew last night at the track and
field games of the Mlllrose Ath
letic association at Madison

however, Drew could not clip a

ord. Roy W. Morße of this city
finished Inches behind Drew.
MUST CANCEL
FED SUITS
CHICAGO, Jan. 27.—One of
the details of the baseball peace
settlement, which has not yet
been worked out, is that the Fed
eral league must withdraw all
their suits against organized
baseball. The stockhloders of
the Baltimore Federal club are
believed to be hofcling back the
withdrawal of the suits, because
of their desire to be admitted Into
j the major leagues.

NOT MUCH!
Despite the efforts of cer
tain promoters ot create en
thusiasm over a match be
tween Frank Parmer and
Billy Weeks in Tacoma,
there Is little iKHtsibilltj of
the bout.

edict of Pii»<*< iiini Ki-iii mii

the big fellows here, Farm

resulted ln hi- being barred

MURDER
CASE ON
Attorneys for the state at
tempted today to belittle the tes
timony of the witnesses for the
defense in the trial of John Mc
cormick, charged with man
slaughter in connection with the
death of Frank Peterson on
Christmas eve in front of a Pa
cific avenue restaurant.
Deputy Prosecutors Thompson
and Cramer, examining A. P.
White, tried to dUcredit his story
by showing it did not correspond
with that told by the witness on
the day following the killing.
Thompson Inferred that A. O.
Burmelster, McCormlck's attor
ney, rehearsed the testimony
with White before the latter took
the stand today.
Mrs. Olive Sovey, waitress of
the cafe in front of which the
fight took place, said that Mo
Cormick had tried to quiet the
older man and had acted like a
gentleman during the affair.
