State Pier Boys Have Three Eastern Connecticut Players. Sunday afternoon the ~All-Norwich team will clash with the Naval Reserve team from the state pier, in New Lon- don. This game should be a hummer as the sailor boys have been practicing for the Iast month: under the direction of Lieut. Lewis, a former ‘coach. for North Dakota, and’ have one’ 0f the fastest teams in the navy. Charlie McIntyre of the old Sachems will hold down a position with the sailors, and as “Chas.” was quite a boy around these parts it looks as though the Norwich boys have some game on their hands. The Reserve team boasts of three eastern’ Connec- ticut league players, but will not give their names. The manager has gone to great ex- pense to bring this fast team to Nor- wich, and it is hoped that.the lovers of the game will turn out in good numbers. ‘Burns, last year with Portland in the TFastern league, will cover right field for All-Norwich and as he batted .307 with Portland Norwich ought to see some great hitting. The Norwich team will linesup with as strong a_team s ever represented this town. The infield is like a stone wall, and the fans will feel many 2 thrill watching Leonard -and Rarrell around the second bag. Caulkins on first is faultless and the outfield is the strongest in the state. The bat- tery has not been decided upon, but it will certainly make the sailor boys stand on their heads. The playing field has not been de- cided upon and won't he a certainty until Saturday, when it will be an- nounced. Issac Waltons Like New Law.

FIELD D e Dates of the Important Tnptheofinfl Tournaments. By PETER P. CARNEY Press Representative of the Interstate Trapshooting Association. Sportsmen’s associations in 23 States have selected dates for their trap- shooting championships. These and the dates of other impor- tant trapshooting compelitions have been announced by the Interstate Trapshooting Association in its 1918 list of registered tournaments. Tournaments registered thus far number exactly 300; 51 others have been applied for, including 25 State tournaments, and when matters are adjusted these tournaments will be registered. The number of tourna- ments does not compare with those of last year or the year before—when more than 500 were registered—but it is a wonderful number considering the conditions under which we are labor- ing. Trapshooting was the last sport to be .affected by the war. More than 100 000 trapshooters have entered the service, and with such numbers doing their best for Uncle Sam and demo- cracy it is only natural that the num- ber of tournaments should decrease. The tournaments as they are listed by months are: March April 24; May, 85; June, July, ; August, 30; September, 28; October, 8. Six- teen tournaments are listed for Mem- orial Day and seven for July 4 Here are the dates of the State tournaments. listed also the dates of the important special shoots: State Championchip: Phoenix, Arizona, April 29-30.
