Wind Storm Does Rig Damage Along
California Coast.
KCRF.KA. CnU March 17. Ore or
the atronarest wind storms of the sea
son which blew along this coast Inst
night resulted tn th sinking, near
Trinidad Head, of the gasoline schoon
er Kagle from Harbor, Or, gave the
Rolph tug Relief a merry passage
from the north and has bar-bound all
Incoming and outgoing vessels.
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.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,
Corvallis. March 17. (Special.) The
third annual stunt show of the girls
of O. A- C. was given last nigrht before
a packed nouse. xweive acm anoweu
a market variety of talent. The show
was given for the'benent of tne Y. w.
C. 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.

MEMBERSHIP IS 60,000
Amateur Organization Has for lis
Purpose the Encouragement of ,
Shooters in Sport and Medals
Offered Highest Averages.
BY C. C. GRAHAM.
Secretary of American Amateur Trapshoot
ers' Association.
The American Amateur Trapshooters'
Association, of which Lieutenant John
Philip Sousa is president, was organ
ized in December, 1915.
It is composed of amateur trapshoot
ers, pledged to the policy of advancing
the interest of individual amateur trap
shooters, and of local trapshooting
clubs. 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. -
