AT THE TRAPS. By PETER P. CARNEY Editor National Sports Syndicate The United States will be repre- sented in the 1920 Olympic games by the greatest exponents of shooting in all the world. The Olympic games will be held in Belgium, the majority of the events taking place in the Antwerp stadium, now nearing completion. The shoot- ing events will take place on grounds especially laid out for this form of en- tertainment at Beverloo, 30 miles east of Antwerp. This is getting the shooting events quite a distance away from “the big show,” but the marksmen who will Tepresent the United: States are con- fident that the news of their victory will travel the 30 miles in very fast time.

ONLY 56 OVERCOATS IN ALL, SO WE ADVISE : EARLY SELECTIONS Sale Price Actually Less Than Wholesale Cast tatives of Uncle Sam will be in the trapshooting competition. These four are: Mark Arie of Champaigne, IiL; Woolfolic Henderson, of Lexington, Ky.; Frank M. Troeh, of Vancouver, Wash., and Frank S. Wright, of Buf- falo, N. Y. A number of plans have been ad- vanced for the selection of the vari- ous shooting teams, but none have proven satisfactory. The original idea on. was to have each contes registered trapshooting tournaments of 1919 pay one-quarter cent a target but this pian was not pushed and only $346 was turned over to the American Trapshooting association. As the trapshooting body had in- formed the American Olympic com- mittee that it would take care of the expenses of the trapshooters the only thing for them to do was ‘to go through with the plan. That the mat- ter might be adjusted satisfactorily to the amateur trapshooters, a com- mittee of amateurs was named to se- lect the team and devise ways and means of secing that the team got to “lark, Jr., of Worcester, Mass.; athewson, of Anaconda, Mont., ph H. Spotts, of New York, with Mr. Clark as the representative to the American Olympic committee. The original a team of trapshooters to Belgium was the selection of the ten highest men in the 1919 averages on more targets, but with the fai the voluntary contribution plan, scheme died too, and the present idea re of is 10 send not more than ten men wh will pay their own expenses and who will agree to practice the Continental style of shooting for some time prev- ious to the Olympie matches. o team of trapshooters from the United States would be complete with- out the four shooters we have already mentioned. They are the four best amateur trappshots in the United States. Wright 1s the present amateur champion of the United States and pion, and the other three are former averages Arie led with the remarkable average of .9780 on about 2,500 targets. His average was but dredths better than Henderson. Troeh shot nearly three times as many targets as either Arie or Hen- derson and averaged .9762. Wright was fifth in the averages with . There is no getting away from it but that this quartet of shooters can de- feat any other four men in the world. :In the Olympic games it is more than likely that five men will comprise the team. Now, all that is wanted is another high class shooter to fit in with this combination. It is our hum- ble opinion that no better selection for the fifth man would be than the man who is representing the amateur shooters on. the Olympic committee, pistol teams during the period of July 22 to July 31, is something that is yet to be decided; but we have a fairly AR SRS UGS 10 good idea who four of the represen- ' This committee is made up idea for the sending | 00 or | this | of the commitfee, as we understand it, | Canada, and also international cham- | amateur champions of the United States.

Smoot, president of the league. Immediately after the world's series, Gandil set forth the an- nouncement that he would not be back with the Sox the following season. Few placed much faith in his state- ment, however, but now that he has been signed to act as manager in the outlaw league, there is every reason to believe that he will carry out his threat. “Ted” Jourdan, who covered first base for Minneapolis in the Am- erican association last season, will be groomed for Gandil's place by Mau- ager “Kid” Gleason. hard-hifting Too Many g Guests, Free ducats!
