Manager Manning Decides to Build
His Park Stands Himself.
ONLY UNION LABOR TO Be EMPLOYED
Work Begins Next Week and VIII
Be Pushed to Completion.
S PORTS IN GEN RAJ

After a three days conference between
Manager Manning, Architect Sunderland
and Walking Delegate Barkman of the
Carpenters Union, Mr.. Manning decided
not to award any contract, but to construct
the grand stand and fences at the new
base bali park on his own responsibility.
Mr.. Barkman has promised him all the
union labor he will need for the construc-
ton of the park, and it is expected that
everything will be In ship-shape by the
time the Washington club is scheduled to
play its first game at home.
Architect Sunderland will recall a part
of his force from the government hospital
and tomorrow they will go to work on the
new field, laying it out for the workmen
Lumber will begin to arrive tomorrow
morning tool houses constructed at once
and it is expected that big force Of men
will begin work the early part of next
week. Mr.. Sunderland will probably act
as supervisor, with assistants, all Of whom
will be under the direction of Mr.. Man
ming. Constructing base ball parks Is not
a new business to him, as he has figured
as builder In the southern as well as the
western circuit. the handsome park at
Kansas City having been erected under his
directing eye.
Contractor Tally and his large force Of
workmen have been making excellent pro-
gress in grading the grounds, the big gully
in left field having been nearly filed while
the leveling of the field is nearing COM
pletion. Another week of good weather
and Contractor Tally can rest on his oars

WONDERFUL SHOOTING.
Mr.. Nat. Simpkins Kills Twelve Out of
Fifteen. Using One Hand.

Trap shooters were out in full force at
Stubener's grounds yesterday, and from
before noon to dusk the guns cracked
steadily. There was a plentiful supply of
live birds on hand, and they were strong,
quick flyers for the most part, and had
even the best of the experts guessing.
Clay pigeons were also shattered in large
numbers, events at both sets of traps be-
ing pulled off simultaneously. Owing to
the fact that several of the local shots
entered in the Great American handicap
will shoot from the twenty seven or TWEEN
ty-eight-yard distance in that great event,
the live-bird events were shot yesterday
from the latter mark.
Miss-and-out events were the order In the
live bird shoots. and in each there was a
good crowd of entries, including Ralph
Nutting. Uncle Billy Wagner, Will Duvall,
Chas. Steele. James M. Green, Joe Hunter,
Stubener. Nat. simpkins Lieut. Davis,
Mertz, George Evans, Charlie Johnson,
Plummer and Bud Brown. The majority
money getters were Green, Wagner, Steele.
Hunter. Dickerson, Davis. Nutting, Duvall
and Simpkins.
Mr.. Nat. Simpklns also practiced for his
match with Col. Henry May, which will be
shot at Stubener'S tomorrow, If nothing
unforeseen prevents, and did some rema rk-
able work
Using one hand and shooting 71a-pound
English-make trap 12-gauge gun, he killed
twelve out of fifteen pigeons from the 81
yard mark. and lost two dead out of
bounds. Four of his killed birds were right
quartering towerers. and he got them with
the second barrel. Three were hard driv-
ers. and he grassed them beautifully. His
performance amazed the experts and was
the most wonderful shooting ever done in
this section. The betting is now 3 to l
that he will defeat Col May, who will use
both hands and shoot from the 31-yard line
There will be open events for all Corners
at both live and clay pigeons at Stubener' $
tomorrow in addition to the May-Simpkins
match.
