NEW JERSEY TRAP SHOOTERS

pionShipS of the Metropoilldh ASsoN
ton of the A. A. U. Will be helo on SILL
urday at Syracuse. and considering thau
none but athletes with genuine chafn-
pionship pretensions have any chance OF
scoring. the entry list is surprisingly
large. Clubs in the northern section OF
the Metropolitan district are exception
ally well represented, and their patron
age is decidedly gratifying to those who
We're instrumental in letting syracuse
have the important fixture. President
Sullivan and the other officers are quite
pleased with the outlook. and they agree
i, predicting that the meeting will De the
hest held since the tournament was es-
tabl;shed In 1891. The games, take place
at the grounds n under the local man
aoament of the Syracuse A. A. No eff
fort has been spared to get the arena
into record breaking condition. ard If
some of the existing figures are not
supplanted no blame can attach to the
experts who are laboring zealously on
the track and infeld.
The official entry list was given out
Yesterday. subject to the possible addi-
on of some names which may have
en- DELAYED in transit. There are five
aspirants for the 100 yard honors, in
Guiding 7. 1. Lee, who has held on to
the title since 1898. The champion is on
" in the crude stages of training at
present. and the issue is regarded as
very open. Seidler of New Jersey and
Covell of Syracuse are both much fan
cied, while the Rochester pair are also
said to be pretty smart. Lee, Covell
and Seidler are down for the go yard
run. and L. A. Coombs, New Jersey A.
C.. is also entered, but he may be held
in reserve for the quarter mile. in which
there are a half a dozen speedy ones, in
Guiding Charles Fitzpatrick, the half mile
champion.
Fitzpatrick will defend his title in the
half" and endeavor to show the way
to such dangerous rivals as orion, Hol-
lander am Nipple. The Albany. Roches-
ter and Syracuse aspirants may also
rave to be reckoned with if the Union
flyer attempts to play a waiting game,
as he did to his cost at the intercolleg-
late championships. The mile event once
more brings Coneff. Orion and Welsh to-
gether. and the pace is bound to be a
cracker. as walsh's only chance lies in
going out and trying to break up his
rivals. Connect is in prime condition,
and if driven to it may do a sensational
performance. although Orion is said to be
confident of beating the two Irishmen.
The Canadian is very anxious to capture
the title as Connect has already won it
twice and Walsh once. Jarvis, last years
winner. is not entered.
Although entered, Orion may not turn
out fer the five mile run, in which the
entry of Conner has scared away all as
pirants but Hollander of the Pastimes
and Liebgold of the New Jerseys. Either
of the latter pair has a fair outside
chance if Comet receives a gruelling in
the mile. Liebgold will previously essay
the two walking events, but he cannot
hope to do better han second to his
brother Sam. and may keep a slice of his
wonderful endurance for the distance
run. Both hurdle races have filled well,
but the New York A. C. expects to score
a double win with Stephen Chase and L.
P. Sheldon. The New Jersey A. c. will
bel represented by 1.-THE i"nterscholastic
flyer. E.@W. Syme. and he may make
things very interesting for his older RI
walls. especially owe the low obstacles.
Esgrove. the all around champion, is en-
tered for the high hurdles. but no one
looks beyond Chase for the winner. His
time last year was Is As seconds, and a
duplicate. performance should be fast
enough 10 retain the title. fTGu FULLER,
who won the low hurdle event last year,
will be ar absentee.
The shot and hammer events have not
filled very largely. a fact easily accounted
for by the presence of George Gray and
James s. Mitchell. The latter is fairly on
his mettIe. and will essay a big perform
ance to wipe out his unexpected defeat
at Traver's Island last month. Jumping
aspirants have entered freely. against
w. F. Sweeney and L. P. Sheldon for
the high and broad competitions, and
these events promise to be very interest
ing. Captain Hugh Baxter, N. Y. A. c.,
will defend his. title in the pole vault and
have to do much better than last year
to defeat his club mate, c. H. Thomas.
Traver's island critics say, however.
that Baxter is just as good as when he
held the American record years G
