TRAP SHOOTING A
POPULAR SPORT
Hammond Country Club to
Install Range and
Traps.
(BY SPIKE.)

Trap shooting, a popular out door
sport. is fast gaining a prominent place
among the nimrods of Lake county.
Years ago the trap and clay birds were
considered a costly sport and few
thought they were able to take an ac-
tive part
But today it is different. Nearly
every city In the region has it's gun
club and some of the larger cities have
a number of active clubs who shoot
every week. To the average person it
would be surprising to know that in
Lake county alone. there are several
hundred people who take an active in
terest in trap shooting every week
They find II a healthy, interesting
and wholesome sport and the firm hold
it is assuming at the present time. in a
short time trap shooting will be one
of the prominent sports of the day.
The Hammond Country club who has
one of the finest golf courses in the
state Is planning to interest its mem
bers in trap shooting and in the near
future will build a range large enough
to install four traps. Hammond has
two other active gun clubs as also has
Gary. Crown Point and Lowell.

SMASH BY Walsh
BEATS CHAMPIONS
IN TEN ROUNDS, Fl
Drives in Run After Bodie
Advances to Third on Hit,
Sacrifice, and Error.

Ed Walsh returned 10 the hurting
slab yesterday and trimmed Bostons
champions in one of the most sensa-
tionaI games OF the year. The score
was 2 TO /. and Walsh himself drove
home the winning run in the tenth
inning.
Whether the big spitball pitcher had
the "old stuff" on the ball or not Is
hard to say. Nevertheless. he turned
out the kind OF a game the fans love
to see and IL he hadn't been given
horrible support he would have won In
nine innings with a shutout.
One thing Is sure and that Is that
Big Ed hasn't lost any OF his cunning
while taking a vacation for himself.
He didn't strike out a single batsman.
which Is something unusual for him
and indicates the splitter wasn't break
ing at its best. He held the champions
TO seven scattered base hits. however,,
and pitched himself out OF at least a
half dozen tight places His famous
bslk motion to first base helped on two
different OCCASIONS and his deliberate
and careful work from start to finish
was admirable.

Defeat of Dodgers Accom-

Brooklyn, n. Y, July 15.-Chicaso's

of the many Joy fxings and the pres

From the time Vic Saier's tall fly
dropped over the crest of the right field

Daubert's elevated fly sank safely into

TRAFFIC CENSUS
WANTED ON ROAD
AUTO ASSOCIATION TO
TRY TO GATHER DATA
Desires That Every State in the Union
Attend TO This Important Matter in
Effort TO Determine Proper Type OF
Road Construction New Laws
Needed

Recognition of the fact that more
information is needed in determining
the proper type Of construction for any
given section of road the National
Good Roads Board of the American
Automobile Association is convinced
that proper steps should be taken in
every state In the union to gather
such data as will show the number,
character and approximate weights Of
vehicles passing over the principal
roads.
The failure Of many roads to stand
up under the traffic Is due, not as
many persons suppose to inferior ma
terials and workmanship. but to the
lack OF preliminary information as to
the traffic the road was expected to
stand. Consequently roads have been
built which would have lasted for
years under other travel conditions;
now they are ruins, due to the absence
of data which the engineering pro-
fession In any other branch of their
work would have considered essential
on this subject the "Engineering Rec
ord" of March Is says:
Without knowing the wear n road
has there Is absolutely no way Of tell
ing whether it is good or bad; only a
careful traffic census can determine
