who was shifted from shortstop to
third ' base when 1 Doc La van was ob
tained by 'the St. Louis-club, has be
come accustomed , to his new post and
Is now playing a splendid brand - , of
ball around the far corner. Hornsby
had had! a brief experience as a third
sacker in St. Louis, three or four years
.ago. but had much to learn about guard
ing the far bag when he was 'assigned
to it ths season.'; , ...
. Roger showed up to good advantage
at the Polo Grounds recently.. In six
times at the bat he collected a home
run. a double and two singles, driving in
four runs and scoring two more himself.
It was his four-base swat, delivered In
the third Inning, that resulted In the
first three tallies -. registered by the

been hitting the ball at a lively clip
-this season -and Giant pitchers have

Umpires' Association Issues Pub
lication to Guide Sport's
- Devotees. .
NEW among tenhis publications is the
National Umpires Association Man
ual, copies of which have been received
in Portland during the last few days.
The manual is being ; Bent to all the
association members, players and Club
officials throughout, the United States.
For the first- time, the lawsxof lawn
tennis are supplemented by suggestions
to spectators, players and officials which
will do much to make effective the asso
ciation's slogan "Know the Rules."
Accompanying the booklet is a letter
from Edward C. Conlin, who, as chair
man, had charge of the publication. Mr.
Conlin writes: ;.
"The main - object, of the National
Tennis Umpires association is to secure
better ' conditions for tournament play
throughout the country tourneys repre
senting the, highest development jot ten
nis. This can be accomplished only by
widespread knowledge and application' of
the rules. Players, young and old, must
know the rules in order to observe them
In letter and spirit. , This is particularly
essential when: so many beginners are
taking up tennis, for its future welfare
demands that they learn the game right.
"Older players : realize the need for
observance of ' the rules if they are to
win the tennis honors for which they
strive,' and so "should be encouraged to
study the laws of the game. Officials
must know the rules or they cannot dis
charge their duties fairly. An incom
petent official; could have spoiled the
best match ; ever . played. The official
has a responsibility to the spectators as
well as to : the players, so it la doubly
Important that he be 'posted on ail the
fine pointa ; ., ' -. ; -. -
"Spectators must know the rules In
order : to understand the officials' de
cisions, and to appreciate the strategy
and tactics of the ' players. u
, President George T- Adee of the United
States j National : Lawn Tennis associa
tion says his organization is thoroughly
In accord with the: plans of the Ten
nis Umpires' association "because such a
body of officials will be of benefit to
tennis wherever the game Is played.:
In addition .to the rules the manual
contains all cases and decisions keyed
to the rules governing them, concice
statements of the duties of the referee,
umpire and: linesman, , along with sug
gestions ' as to the proper conduct : of
players and gallery during a -tournaments

last May Paul R. Earle of Starr, S. C.
was in Jacksonville, Fla at tho Duval
Gun club and he picked out a gun and
shot at some targets. It was his first
trial at the clay target sport. He .aver
aged about 70 per cent. Just a few
weeks ago Mr. Earle won,: the cham
pionship of South Carolina and averaged
97 per cent That after 13 months'
shooting. This performance speaks for
Itself. - .... ;
No amateur trapshooter has .Improved
as much this year as Sam Sharman of
Salt Lake City, Utah. Sharman- hovered
about the 90 per cent mark last year,
but on the 800 targets he has shot at
this year he : has averaged better than
96 per, cent. He was high average
shooter in the Arizona and Wyoming
state shoots and was runner-up in the
Utah state championship event In the
Wyoming state shoot. Sharman broke
444 out of 450 targets, closing out" with
an unfinished run of 25.1. We'll say
that Is . a. considerable Improvement. -.

No Ill-feeling prevails between the
owners of the two clubs. It is said, but
the Giant magnates. In planning to mnke
the Polo Grounds an even bigger ball
para from the standpoint of seating ca

they should enjoy the exclusive right to

Where -are the- Yanks going? No
body seems to know as yet,: not even the
venerable Colonels Ruppert and Huston.
The task, of finding a suitable location
for a new, park in the Greater City is
by no means a soft one. Formerly the
xanas played much farther away from
the heart of things than was good, for
gate receipts, and when the arrangement
with the National leaguers was made
the old park went the way of all 'useless
things. Now it's the Yanks' move again,
and the lives of the colonels will be just
one hunt after another till a suitable
spot is found.

: ii uemians are permitted to lax
part in the Olympic games at AnU "
werp next year, provided, of course,
that the plans mapped out by the In
ternational Olympic Federation are '
carried through, there are likely to,,
be grave dissensions in amateur sport
circles in England and France, and
also in the United States.
: There appears to be some doubt as

- committee will be able to carry for- :,
Vwsrd its plans -. for the games, but -in
the event that the meet does take '
place it is not at all improbable
that the entries from the allied coun- '
tries will be extremely small,, If In

Jf. Y. A. C. OPPOSED .
While there has not been the same
Intense anti-German feeling in this
country as has found expression In
France and England, ' nevertheless
any effort to recruit an American
team for the meet is almost certain
to result in a division , among the
various athletic clubs of the country.
The New York Athletio club, it Is
said, on good authority, will not lend
its aid to any effort to send a team
to the' Olympic meet next year-if.
Germans are permitted to compete.
This feeling has not taken definite
or official expression at the club; but
the sentiment of many of the leading
members of the organisation that if
the Amateur Athletic union attempts
to recruit a team, athletes belonging
to the New York A. C should be
barred therefrom. -7 s : .

From reports that, have reached
athletic circles here from- England -and
France the proposal to hold the
Olympic games next year has not re
ceived as much . consideration as
' might have been eupected.- save In
respect to the competition -of ath
letes from enemy countries.' Both In
'France and In England the athletio
authorities .have been too busy get
ting sports reorganized to think of
planning for 1920' Olympic' team.
Six months from now.it is probable
that conditions will be such as to
