BIG NATIONAL SHOOT IS NOW IN PROGRESS
Rifle and Pistol Matches at Camp Perry Have Large Attendance
CIVILIAN TEAMS THERE
New Type Target Expected Make For More Accurate Shooting
Camp Perry, Ohio, Sept. 18—After overcoming untold difficulties arising from shortage of funds, the stage is all set for the 16th holding of the National Rifle and pistol Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio, which continue until September 28th. Total lackily recruited units only curtailed allowances for National Guard representation, attendance of these teams as well as Service teams was assured only by thorough cooperation between state officials and the War Department. The present indications are that there will be more than 50 teams, and about 500 individual shooters.
The conditions for the 1922 national matches, while similar to those for 1921, will keep pace with the remarkable accuracy performances of last year in that a new type of target having an inner ring in the bull's-eyes is specified for the 600 and 1000-cycle shooters in all individual matches. The program of the National Rifle Association for the service rifle, small and heavy bore, will again embrace all the recognized types of competition with these weapons—team and individual, single and re-entry.
Lliutenant Colonel Morton C. Mummia, Cavalry, United State Army, commander of the Camp Perry Small Arms Firing School during the war, Executive Officer of the '82, 20 and '21 matches, who has national reputation as a skilled shot with rifle and pistol, will again serve as executive officer of the matches. There are several new trophies for prizes this year, included in which are the President's Match, the Farmworks Trophy, the Mountaineering Trophy and the high score, the Military and Training Camps Association Trophy to the civilian making the highest score, the Guardman Trophy to the high National Guardman, and a trophy for the Infantry Match.
This latter one is for a signal and important addition to this year's program—the Infantry match—which will be fired this season for the first time. It presents a combat problem in a situation where the advance is dependent not only upon accuracy and distribution of fire, but also upon all attending phases of the attack. In other words, fire and movement are exemplified in this problem as in no other way except actual combat, and it would be more appropriate to present so graphically that the veriest recruit cannot fail to grasit it.
Perhaps the most successful and beneficial feature of the last two National Matches was the Small Arms Firing School, which will again be in operation under the direction of Lieutenant Colonel Smith W. Brookart, Officers' Reserve Corps. He will be assisted by a corps of competent instructors selected from America's foremost mentors of officers, and is leaving his campaign to give his time to this work. All contestants are cordially invited to avail themselves of this instruction, though it is not compulsory. Nowhere else can such instruction be obtained, it being given here as part of the government's system of preparation for national defense, and it is open to any citizen of the United States, no matter how limited may have been his previous experience. The school runs September 2nd and continues to include September 11th, or, in order to day the before the opening of the National Matches, for which it is fine preparation for even the experienced shots.
Visitors are welcomed at Camp Perry, and since the matches have a truly national asp-et, there will be shooting of interest to all.

New York, Sept. 18 (United Press)
*General opinion rates professional baseball as one of the best paying sports for athletes.*
One might have the opinion that most of the players were getting at least $5,00 a year if the yelps of the club owners were etaken at face value. During the White Sox expose it was brought out how little Conickey was paying his stars and Phil Douglas recently claimed that he was getting only $6,500 before he was banished from the New York Giants.
Cannon cays that the average salary of the professional baseball player is $3,000 a year.
Douglas was the best pitcher in the National League, and if his salary was the standard for the best

players in the league, the have good reason to howl.
Cannon maintains that the club owners keep boasting about the salary paid to big starts and that they intentionally allow figures twice the amount of the real salary paid to the starts to be published and circulated. It was generally believed that Babe Wilson had been a long year from the Yanks until Ban Johnson let the information slip out that he won't get half that sum.
Salary disputes are not the only grievance behind that organization of the players' union. The men who are making the game good for immense profits to the club owners oblige them, but they doesn't give them a chance and they also kick against conditions which make them virtual slaves.
good ball players have been transferred out of the major leagues to bolster up a minor league club in which the possessor of his contract has been selected. The change course, was accompanied by a decrease in salary.
