February 6 The plana tomorrow. The Marine and Field Club has arranged a borne and home shoot with the New York Athletic Club and the first leg will be decided over the Bath Beach traps tomorrow. The second shoot will be held at Travera Island on Saturday, February 14. Five men will represent each club and the match Is to be at 200 targets man. Five hundred targets will be trapped each week.

The total scores of each ahoot will count on the prise. The Marine and Field Club bas taken unusual Interest in the sport this year. Several well known gunners have joined the club, Including Frank and George Stephenson and J. F. James, and these have given the Bath Beach organisation one of the strongest amateur five-men teams In the country.

Twenty-two proposed changes have been drawn up by the Midway director, embracing recommendations sent to him by many of the coaches of the West.

It Is exceedingly doubtful If the more ately stabbed a police sergeant to death on an elevated train because the sergeant was protecting an American girl from insult was not convicted of murder and sent to the chair.

He was convicted of a lesser crime because he acted foolishly at his trial, and the greatest penalty the judge could give him was from ten to nineteen years. He went to the penitentiary bragging he would serve the ten years and still come out a young man. Now another foreigner has shot down on the street a Brooklyn policeman and a Brooklyn civilian. Watch for the reports of his queer actions at the trial, designed to influence the jury to believe that he is insane. And yet they wonder radical rules suggested by Stagg will be given any consideration.

McKeever says Ebbots Is after talent which bas not yet been rounded up, but apart from Tinker there Is no man outside the breastworks who is worth worrying about. Charles is said to have dashed through Chicago yesterday pell-mell, not to say poet haste, and rumors arose that he was again trying to persuade Joe Tinker to flop from the Feds.

That Rave Joe an excellent chance to reached, Secretary John W. McPhwee two major leagues, Is to appoint a permanent committee, consisting of a practical bench or player manager, an umpire and a newspaper man. They should be allowed a decent compensation. The newspaper man Bhould be secretary.
