The truly American sport Of trap
shooting gains greatly in popularity
with each successive year, and 1907
promises to be record breaker
Many golf clubs are adding shooting
grounds, while gun clubs increase and
multiply in every section of the coun'
try The regular season lasts from
early spring until the hunting season.
but the enthusiasts keep 1t up the
year round Live bird trap shooting
still has some adherents, but the gen.
eral tendency is towards the "clay
pigeon" The forerunner of the CLAY
pigeon was the glass ball, filled with
sand or feathers, to show when
broken; but shooting them was too
easy, and neither in shape nor fight
did they resemble birds. The targets
cost about five dollars per 1000, and
as 30,0OOOO0 are thrown annually, It
would look as If trap shooting had
come to stay. AS to the number of
shells used, only a rough estimate can
be made There are from 100000
to 1,000O00,000 shot shells fired each
year in the United States; but the
majority is, of course, for game. A
recent gun club equipment Is the
tower trap" the first of which, in
this country, was erected at Pine
hurst, N. c., where the sport is ex-
ceedingly popular These towns have
long been used in Europe, the idea
being to produce conditions somewhat
similar to those experienced by the
sportsman when shooting rocketing
pheasants. The tower is so feet high,
and In the top are two expert traps,
right and left. The puller is protect
ed by a thick plank partition, which
also hides the traps from view. Five
different kinds of targets may be
thrown-right, left, overhead, un-
known angles and doubles. In these
events, with the exception of the
overhead" birds, the shooter faces
the tower at the usual rise distance.
In the overhead shooting he stands
back to the foot of the tower and
directly under the traps. Tower shoot.
ing will bother the best shooters at
first Known angles TO right and left
are not dlficult, and many have a
knack for breaking overhead targets,
but the unknown angles bewllder

targets shooting off in opposite di.

have been made with them. The sport
is no more expensive than golf or
kindred games. Anyway the game
Is worth the candle"

home with the third run.
Lucas, Mylett and Flood went out
in order and the great game was a
matter of history.
Lefty Wilhelm was on the mound
for Marion. Despite Lety's Wild
ness and the fact that he was
touched up for ten hits, he pitch
ed good ball, getting out of several
tight places. He was aided by the
great fielding of the Lime Burners

Jack Kennedy, who was with
Cincinnati for few hours, pitch
ed for Akron. He kept the safe

in many tight places. He was re-
lieved by Armstrong.
Marion could not score in the
first although Mylett after draw
ing a pass stole second. In the
second frame Riley got base on
balls and went to second when
Middleton beat ont bunt. Dal-
galn duplicated the performance
and the ba 'es we've full Luskey
fouled out to LaIonge, Wilhelm
hit to Kennedy and Riley was fore
ed at the plate. Mylett worked
Kennedy for a pass forcing Mid
dleton over the rubber with the
first run. Flood hit to Strood,
who forced Wilhelm at second, re-
firing the side.
The locals got another when Lus-
KEY was safe at first on Brecken-
ridge s error. He went TO second
on Wilhelm's s safe drive and TO
third on Mylett's out at first and
scored on Floods drive past Strood
Farrell hit to Brodelick and Flood
was forced at second.
For three innings not o hit was
secured off Wilhelm. In the fourth
however Callahan dmbled TO right
center and was sacrificed to third
by East. Schwartz flied ont to N.Y.
lett and Nallin bingled to cen
ter scoring Callahan. Nallin took
third on Strood's single and was
there caught mapping by Wilhelm
and run down between the bases. /.

Eichberger made wonderful
catch Of Floods long drive TO the
fence, spearing the ball with one
hand on the dead rm. The catch
while Il allowed Marion TO tie the
score kept MS from winning.
Dalgam made pretty catch of
a low liner from Breckeniidges
bat in the third inning. The little
fellow is playing a nice fielding
game IN center.
Bmk will work today against
New Castle unless Fox is ready TO

work today will go in the box to-
morrow.
One of the prettiest plays of the
game was pulled off In the first

Los Angeles, Cal. May 9.-Tommy
Burns. of Los Angeles, won the heavy
weight championship of the world
from philadelphia Jack" O'Bricn be-
fore the Pacific Athletic club here
after twenty rounds of fighting that
was for the most part Il foot race.
O'Brien ran away from Burns from
the first round to the finish, and only
occasionally. was the latter able to
overtake him. Then O'Brien invari-
ably clinched with Burns and held on
until the referee pried them apart.
The crowd hooted and jeered O'Brien
and hurled all sorts of raillery at him
rs he raced about the ring. But very
few. blows of any yigor We're landed
by either man, and only one suffered
any: apparent damage. Both Of
O'Bren's eyes were damaged and his
lips; were cut open, but Burns had
scarcely scratch. O'Brien landed
many light blows at long range on
Burns head and face during his ca
perS about the Enclosure, but they
were absolutely without effect. Be-
fore the beginning Of the fight Referee
Eyton declared all bets off under ill.,
structions from Manager A. G. Carey,
Of the Pacific Athletic club. Eyton
said he was unable to give the reasons
for this action.
| In a sensational statement the cham
ion says that in order to get a fight
with O'Brien he had to agree to fake
the tight-to "lay down. before his
Philadelphia rival and permit the lat
ter to be called the winner. But when
the gong sounded to begin he decided
to break his promise and go In tc
trim O'Brien." Burns says he did not
wish to trick the public, and succeeded
in getting all bets declared Off, losing
