Nineteen cities have recenty organized public school athletic leagues of a permanent sort, according to the report of General George W. Wingate, president of the Public School Athletic league of New York. A feature of his report was the success of the league here in teaching boys to use the rifle, success which recently won the commendation of Major General Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the United States army.

This country in time of war must depend upon hasty levies of volunteers, he said. If the boys are taught to shoot, they will never forget it, and only a little practice will be required to make them profieeient if an emergency should ever arise which would require them to volunteer to defend their country. Fourteen of the largest high schools of the city have now installed a target machine gun largely through the interest which the late Colonel John Jacob Astor took in stimulating shooting contests. A feature of the annual meeting was the election of Colonel Astors son, Vincent Astor, as a director of the league. It was said that the young millionaire would continue the active interest which his father had in teaching schoolboys of the country how- to shoot.

Auto Cole Both Parties Lay Blame the Other Fellow on No One Badly Injured Though the Machine Is Wrecked Central California Traction companys train No. 31, running from Lodi to Stockton and in chaige of Conductor Ely and Motorman Smith, and an automobile containing Robert McCall, collided yesterday afternoon at Hubbe corner, and the occupants of the automobile were bruised up a bit and the machine considerably damaged. McCall said that he had gone to Hubbs' corner, at the junction of Cherokee lane and Waterloo road, to tow a disabled automobile truck, and that in turning at a narrow point In the road, had run onto the ear tracks to let an automobile coming from the east pass him. Just then, says McCall, tile traction car from the north rounded the curve at the oar barn, and before lie could get the automobile off the tracks, the car struck him with great force.

Friends say he was picked up unconscious by passengers on the car and brought to Stockton. McCall further stated that tile train crew did not offer any aid, and that neither he nor the passengers on the car heard the motorman blow the whistle. Railroad Version. An official of the traction company in explaining the accident said: Motorman Smith said that he saw the machine and whistled and that the automobile hesitated and then turned and moved in the same direction as the train and then pulled to one side and thinking he could clear it, sent the train forward. Smith told the officials of the traction company that he blew the whistle 1000 feet from the corner and then blew twice after seeing the machine.

The traction official is also authority for the statement that a man by the name of Piker, who was with the truck, shouted to McCall and told him the train was approaching, but he paid no attention to the warning.
