The crew of the Kagle was rcaxuad. , Le. FohL manager of the Cleveland Americans, will take on more try at bringing Smoky'' Joe Wood back to the game this Spring. Fohl plans on riving Wood's arm the crucial test while the Indians are encamped a training Quarter;?. If Fohl come to the conclusion tha Wood's Ditching days are over, tne Cleveland manager will plunge into an experiment which, both Wood and Kohl hope, will go a Ions way toward giving owner James C. Dunn some of the worth of the $13,000 he Is said to have nald the Boston Red Sox for Wood s release. Wood, more than any other person in the world, has taken his failure to come back" to heart. He worked like a Trojan down South last Spring and when he, went north again and turnea loose he found his trusty right arm was not to be depended dn. It was discour aging, and he felt miserable to think he had been the object of a big invest ment and had failed. But Wood coaxed Manager Lee Fohl all through last year to Rive a chance at some other Job. He showed himself a corking good Inflelder. and at bat stung the ball with the twang of Lajoie. FoM had all his positions filled, however, and there was nothing for Wood to do out warm tne Denen. This Spring it is different. Al Klep fer. Joe Harris. Louis Guisto. Josh Billings. Bill Wambsgans. Henri De Berrv and several others have either enlisted or been drafted. There are many holes on the Cleveland club to patch tip and Lee Fohl. it is said, plans to give Wood a chance at one of these gaps In the event natl! arm again fails. With only a young recruit to try for the first-base position. I-ohl feels discouraged and places his faith in Wood if he needs him there. The re cruit who will mage a try at tne joo is a fcig fellow from South Carolina. His name is Ballinger and. while he is said to be a slugger of the Joe Jackson type, he never has shown much class as a fielder and probably will not do. That's where Wood will get nis chance. Word from Cleveland said he would he Manager Fohl- best bet for the first-base position. MYSTERY ACT IS GOOD PITROFF.

He took a boy, handcuffed and tied him. then placed him in a, cau and put hiin behind some curtains. When the can was unlocked the boy was on the stage, and a little girl emerged. One of his most interesting feats was his self elimination from a straightjacket sus pended from the chandelier. He presents a very good act. . Wilson and Van are two real enter tainers. Wilson plays the piano in a delightful fashion and the girl plays the violin. She is pretty and graceful and plays in a syncopated fashion which is nnusuallv good. smn and Mav Iaurel presented "Raf fles. the Dentist." The scene was laid in a hotel room, with the woman suf fcrinir from toothache. When a biirfflar aDDeared she thought he was a dentist and he allowed her to think it. He was iressed and acted like one of those 'perfect lady" type of men, and won succession of laughs. Then, at the close nf the m-t. Mav sang a song all about vampires and their methods. She ap peared ill a trailing black gown as th "vamp." e Fred Grav and Nellie Graham were the narticipants in another amusing act. Fred was the beiiuoy, always kuhhus instead of answering bells. Knorr and Rclla appeared in a com edv nlavlet. "Between the Two." Thi playlet was full of keen lines and a lot of comedv. Ives, Farnsworth and Leahy are tnree men with wonderruuy cooa ioicf.

A., and about 1500 people attended, so lt" Is estimated that a big sum of money will go to the association. Patriotic numbers, iceianaic stunts, campus nad college nits, an "rieniai number and others were given. A rule of the show required that only three minutes be allowed between acts and seven minutes lor tne maiviuuai aim. Dean Mary Fawcett originated the Idea of having the show, and offered a sii ver cup to the organization putting on the best stunt. The award was made the Delta Alpha, the same sorority to which the honors were given last year. Second mention went to Cauthorn Hall. The -winning stunt was entitled Every Dog Has Its Day," and was a clever skit in which all the dogs be longing to men's fraternities were rep resented by girls in costume. A trainer put the dogs through various antics scoring prominent students and mem bers of the faculty. The Cauthorn stunt was called an "Esko Tragedy, and was a melo dramatic farce teling the love story of some Esquimaux. Girls concealed beneath a huge white cloth represented restless iceberg as a background lor the stunt. Torpedo Deteertor tt Work.

In the two years of its exist ence the association has made remark able Drocress. During 1917, 212 gun clubs applied for affiliation with the A. A. '1. A., bringing the total number of affiliated clubs ud to 1505. These ciuds repre sent a total membership of over 60.000 men and women, who are interested in the sport of trapshooting. During the year 1516 individuals Joined the asso ciation. The A. A. T. A. has been worked up so well that it now has organizations in 47 states, six Canadian provinces. Alaska and Hawaii. 52 Canadian clubs are enrolled. The officers of the asso ciation besides Mr. Sousa are Dr. Hor ace Betts. of Wilmington, DeL, and Charles W. Billings, of Oceanport, N. J first and second vice-presidents; and the writer, secretary and - treasurer. The president of each affiliated state association is also a National vice- president. Medals Are Offered. To encourage the individual shooter to improve his scores, and to raise his average, the American Amateur i rap shooters' Association offers a series of Proficiency Medals, which to win, the shooter must turn in a certain number of scores of a certain average in each class. ; A bronze medal is awarded in the io per cent class, a German silver medal in the 80 per cent class, a sterling silver medal in the 8. per cent class, a lu karat gold medal in the 90 per cent class and a 14-karat solid gold medal the 95 per cent class. During 1S17. a total of 1049 pro ficiency medals were awarded by the ssociation for scores made in club shoots. Five hupdred and forty-five new contestants entered the A. A. T. A. medal race during the year. The plans of the A. A. T. A. for 1918, are broader in scope and will accom plish more than ever before the pur pose or the association to encourage regular club shooting and to stimulate increased proficiency on the part of in- vidual shooters. Plan Is Revised. The medal plan has been revised so as to allow more members to take an active part in this competition, and a 98 per cent solid gold medal is offered for the first time. One of the chief arguments in favor of the A. A. T. A. t)at the contests lor association medals add interest to club shoots. The A. A. T. A. is to club shoots what the Interstate Association is to registered shoots. As the Interstate Association regulates the registered shoots, contributes money and trophies to th'yn, and compiles the averages of the shooters who participate, so the A. A. T. A. confines its attention to the club' shoot features. A new department has been organized to keep a record of scores made at club shoots by all shooters. From these rec ords will be compiled quarterly official club shoot averages. The compilation and publication of club shoot averages of the entire shooting body of the United States and Canada is a large undertaking, but such records will prove invaluable to handicap classifi cation committees, partly in view of the fact that class shooting is becom ing more popular every day. At this time when there is imperative need of a more universal knowledge of firearms, and when every man requires regular periods of recreation and out door exercise to keep himself physical ly fit for his work, trapshooting has been aptly termed the "patriotic sport." Many of the members of the A. A. T. A. are already enrolled in the serv ice and will be able to give a good ac count of themselves when called upon because they already know how to shoot, handle and take care of a gun. Lord Roberts once said, "Shooting is seven-tenths of a soldier's business." Because trapshooting will fit young men to be trained more quickly if. needed in the service; because trap shooting takes men out in the open to meet their fellows in friendly compe tition and sends them back to their work healthier and more efficient; and because trapshooting is so easily avail able for all men, the American Ama teur Trapshooters' Association expect to make 1918 a banner year. CARELES SBAKERS WARNED Failure to Use Wheat Substitutes to Result In Closing Order. SPOKANE, March 17. Bakers who are not using the required 20 per cent of wheat flour substitutes in bread and rolls by March 20 will be forced by the Federal administration to cease bak ing those products, it is declared in a telegram received at the office of the State Food Administrator here tonight from Charles Hebberd, Food Adminis trator for Washington, who is at Washington, D. C, attending a con ference of food administration offi cials. Mr. Hebberd urges that bakers use potatoes as wheat flour substitutes as generally as possible where a surplus exists, four pounds of potatoes being required in place of one pound of other substitutes. Ventilation Causes Combustion. Spontaneous combustion is caused. chemist tell us. by floating in particles of coal dust or other inflammable ma terial iostling and clashing against one another until the friction they set up raises their temperature to the ig nition point. If this explanation Is cor rect, it would appear as If such fires could be prevented by perfect ventila tion. Such, however, is not tne case, for ventilation may actually help to bring about fire by spontaneous com bustion. Air facilitates oxidation, really fanning the warm dust into a blaze. Keep air damp and quiet to avoid a fire. - MADE of the s a m e tobacco as used in 10c cigars. Hurt Cigar Co. P"""" Distributors, I Portland. 1 C A
