SUNDAY, 1915. THE BUDGE' tty and the world world series since business began in 1903. produced somebody who rose to heights and became the idol oc vear you'll remember, was Before series Hank wasn't figured as anything- --slugger. He could, hit, but compared with Etl- ColliSs; Frank Baker. Joe Connolly the other sluggers, Sank wasn ed to have a look-in as a-bttins conceded to have a Yet he was thv jjem'on of the series.

rea: clouting the first inning, due to nervottsnesa, settled down and pitched in a remarkable manner. and the ebbing and tdes of baseball have dealt kindly with the Sox Ten.ot who were on the Red Sox the Boston lineup. Hank made six hits during -that of four games and counted in the scorinff. Four of them doubles, another was a triple, anq the sixth was a home run smash thal An. the third game for the Braves in the 10th inning when it seemed hono- lesssly lost Gowdy-'hit for an average of in -which, in select Bostpnian, i.cxa be classified as some hitting.

It was "Whitey" Rohe who was the brightest star in the 1906 White Sox' series. Rohe was looked upon a substitute third sacker. He was shoved into the gamo because thera no one else to play at the time. -Hohe was considered the weak member of the-White Sox yet it was Rohe whose wonderful fielding saved the Sox pitchers time and again, and It was the great batting of Rohe that paved the way to the White sox victories. Frank Baker assujsed the role c-f -hero in the lll series- Baker always was a slugser.

but- he jumped everlasting fame by winning one game of the scries with a home run belt following ft up the next with another circuit smash that gave Athletics another victory over the Giants, and cinched the world's championship for tho Philadelphians.

therefore toned down by the addition In about two days a thin rust is under the oil and Problems of Open Sights. Many readers have wondered why the open rear sight on a rifle is placed the barrel and not aa port way up near the shooter's eye as possibles. In feet Just the. other. day I read a letter from a sportsman in which he suited that --certain -rifle would be perfect If only tho rear sight were placed way back near his eye.

The rifle designer is 'twixt the devil and the jleep blue sea on this point. Tho farther the sights are placed apart, the greater the sighting radius which tends toward accuracy. On the other hand is the rear sight is placed too far back it appears to the eye as fuzzy as French poodle, and it does not therefore improve the accuracy to any noticeable extent. The problem is to strike a compromise which will fiive best results under average conditions. A very interesting experiment along these lines Is to cut out Borne sights from light pasteboard, place 'cm on a table lined up with an open window and sight through thorn at some object a hundred feet or so away, and will be able to observe for yourself the above mentioned difficulties.

Bulk smokeless shotguns arc so various materials which retard their burning qualities. powders for uso in compounded that When used in the same bulk as the old bliick powder load will approximately give the same results. powder Dense smokeless shotgun should bs loaded by bulk A uikee, Wis. 1. Which powder has the longest range, black, smokeless or BullisUte.

Ans Trom your classification, it reams to me you are a little con- fusod There are two kinds of powders in use, blick powder and smoke-. Itss powdT IMack powder is the original po-svder made from charcoal, bulohur and saltpetre. Al! smokeless rov.ai-~. are either nitro-ceUulose er nitroeljcenne or some combination of the two. Roughly speaking tj'tro-t-ollulose is produced by treating elthe 1 wood or cotton fibre with nitric acid in the piesericc of sulphuric acid, ni is the result of 411 the same way with the named acids.

When trtacX powder burns Sn the barrel, a consider ible of of nmhustion is solid matter, When smokeless jn-vder burns the amount ef scJ'd rotttpr is very smail indeed. 2s'itro gUcvrme.or n'itro-collulose when thti- natural state are entirely too powerful and ungovernable for nse t-i and shotguns. Thev arc that is. by the actual volume occupied by the Dense powder should V-e loaded by weight only, that is. the nctual weight of the charge; From tho foregoing description of the properties of shotgun powders, It is not possible to say that any one of the three mentioned will give better range than another.

2. Which 'is best for the 12 gauge gun? Ans. Shotgun barrels are the easiest of nil firearms to keep clean, and It makes very little difference which kind of powder is used, so long the Runs are cleaned the sume tnc shooting done. (3) There is no par- 'ticulai- difference in tho shooting Dualities of the two makes of guns vou mention. 4.

Is there any advantage in using smokeless powder? Ans. There are many advantages in using smokeless powder aside from the'fact that there is no smoke. Ono is less recoil and another Is that black powder is extremely dirty when compared with smokeless powder and fouls the barrel up so that cleaning after using black powder is a very messy job. 5. Tho' hunting season opens September 7th and the open season for mil or rice hen starts the 6th of September.

How long', should the barrel last, or in.other -words, how works. 4. Whut is good for rust in a rifle barrel? Ans. If a barret la not badly mated, the best thing-'Js a good brass bristle brush solvent, oil and plenty of "elbow grease." 5. What is good to keep a.rifle from rusting? Ans.

A thorough cleaning and a thorough coating on'the Inside of the barrel with a good gun grease Is the surest way. Some of the aitro solvent arc efficient, although no oil is as good aa a heavy grease. 6. I have a rifle which catches rust In about two days after I Clean it. When I get done shooting.

I do not clean my rifle wncn It is cold. I set it by the stove until it gets warm and then I clean it good. 1 have another rifle which I give the same treatment and I can set it away for six months and it won't have a speck'of rust on it. Ans. Ton do not say what calibre tho rifle Is.

As you speak above of 22 calibre cartridges I assume It is a '22 calibre rlCle. If so, I am almost willing to bet you are using smokeless cartridges. The best way to stop rust when using- smokeless cartridges la to stop using smokeless cartridges. Use lesmok or semi-smokeless cartridges They do not have the corr- sive effect on the barrel that smokeless powder htis. This Is not in any sense a knock on any particular make of cartridges as all .22 calibre smokeless cartridges have a etfcct en the barrel.

No one has yet succeeded-in developing a powder for 22 calibre cartridges which will -not have this effect. I'would also sussesi that you use a nitro solvent oil of Nebraska, principal of high school of the province of Ambos Camarines, Philippine Island, last year, has unearthed a "Thorpe of the Orient," in Philippine high school boy. Fehliman la now In second far. eastern Olympiad held in Shanghai in April, tnto youth, Genaro Sk-avedra by name, won 712 points over of his nearest and of the third man. The second and-thira place was won by Chinese.

Genaro was presented with a stiver cup by'the China, valued at 2000 pesos meet, which was won by the Filipinos. Genaro succeeded in taking three firsts, one second and'one third for his team. He received his training from Fehliman. The following are Sa-avedra's records made in, winning the Decathlon at the Shanghai Olympiad: 100-yard dash," 10 4-5 seconds. Shot-put, 29 teet 5 Inches.

High Jump, 5 feet 1-2 inches. Broad Jump, 20 feet 6 inches (first jump). 440-yard 4-5 seconds. 220-yard low hurdles, 31 seconds. Discus, 86-feet 5 inches, Pole vault, 10 feet: Hop-skip-and jump.

34 feet 9 inches. There were no points in the mue run, since: the Filipino, as he explained in his own words "knowing that already without the mile, therefore' I just jog to complete the whole business." Twenty feet in the broad jump ana ten feet in-the pole vault is considered perfect; and feet or inches are of no value. Sa-avedra jumped 21 feet, 7 3-4 inches, vaulted 10 feet 6 inches in the same'meet He has also tied the. Island record or 10'1-5 seconds in the--100-yard dash. He would not take art Interest in hurdling, which accounts for'his poor record in the low; hurdles.

In sending the story of Genaro Saavedra to The. Star Fehliman characterizes the eastern "Thorpe" as a willing- worker -and a good student He is a poor boy, the instructor adds, whom he has for the last two years! He weighs 1 127 pounds. WILSON. C. O.

said Stiehm, "so Nebraska supporters had a right to expect some ragged football on tha part of the Cornhuskers. The showing of several of the substitutes during the final quarter is an encouraging sign. We have several hard Ktimes in sight, but the Nebraska team looked good in its first game and I am well pleased. Brake gave us a clean, hard game and I am glad that the Bulldogs were, on our schedule." "Nebraska was too much for us." said Coach Griffith of Drake.

Joe Stecher virtually began, his remarkably career before a Lincoln audience. Al- though he had wrestled numerous times In Dodge county, his first was staged two years ago lastLlvtorch in this city when he defeated Flestma, the-buiiy Austrian, in straight -falls. Subsequently, was jutted against George Nelson, Tonj Pietro, Jack Taj lor and Jess Westergaard in this city, flashing his skill before steadily increasing audiences and winning every match in straight falls. Lincoln was a bidder for the steelier- Cutier niatch last July, but Omaha "horned in" and bagged the prize. This latter event of the greatest audiences in the annals of the heavyweight -wrestling game, something like 8,000 Nebraskans paying fancy prices for the privilege of witnessing the phenomenal young Nebraskan take the measure of Cutler and flatten the shoulders of thd husky Chicagoan against the pad, wm nmg two falls in less than thirty tnm- utes' The of the audience that 000 His average-has been maintained throughout the present'racing season, which puts him well on the way toward another half million.
