SPORTING CHATTER.

Being the highest paid player in
the game isn't always the joy that
might be thought, according to iris
Speaker of Boston. If he doesn't get
beautiful bingle every time he ap-
proaches the plate the fans boot him
farewell. AS rule iris takes it
good naturally, but sometimes, when
it goes too far, he gets real fused up
and shows his veXation plainly.
As sport for women, trapshOOting
is rapidly growing popularity. Hun
dreds OF women are taking up the
pastime and in many cases are prov
ing themselves formidable competi-
tors for high honors. Makers of
shotguns have perfected sixteen
gauge and twenty-gauge guns which
women may use at the traps. How
ever, considerable number are using
the standard twelve-gauge gun in
preference to the smaller sizes. At
all of the big shoots nowadays one
finds women nthe firing line.
George Gray, the phenomenal young
Australian billiard player, is said to
be anxious to meet Willie Hoppe, the
American wonder. He has already
contracted to visit Canada next season
and while no dates have yet been
booked for Gray in the United States,
it is quite possible that he may be
seen in several of the leading cities
as there is no doubt there is a ten
dency of the men who pull the bill
lard strings to get combination OF
the best points of the English and
American styles and so produce a
game that will afford genuine interna-
tional competition.
