MARKSMEN GATHER
FOR TITLE SHOOT
Contests Set for TraverS
Island Next Friday and
Saturday.

Trapshooters from all over the
United States will gather on Friday
and Saturday of this week at Travers
Island to decide the tenth annual anna
teur championship of America at clay
birds over the traps OF the New York
Athletic Club.
The preliminary shoot for the impor-
tant title will DE decided on Friday,
and the actual championship will be
held on Saturday. IL is the first time
in the history OF the shoot that the
event has been held on Saturday. Ii
is believed that the choice Of the day
will greatly swell the entry list.
The championship originally was
held in December. In 1909 II was de-
cided to change the date from the fall
TO the spring, and as a result there was
no championship in 1910. Although the
shoot has been held in the spring for
the last five years, il never before has
been held so late in the season.
II is believed, however. that late
date is advisable, as it allows the gun
ners to practise throughout The year
for what undoubtedly is the most i'm
portant clay bird shoot of the season.
Practically all of the former winners
Of the title will be seen at Travers
Island on Saturday. Ralph L. Spots,
a member OF the New York Athletic
Club, is the present holder of the
championship. He won the event with
total Of 1873 out Of possible 200 tar
gets, establishing new record.
SPOTS has been shooting in great
form this winter, and, given good
day, the record that he made last year
will probably go by the board on Sat
urday. Previous holders of the title
who are expected to compete are
Charles II. Newcomb, the crack Phia-
delphia shot; b. W. Higginson, jr,
Harry Kahler, John H. Hendrickson,
who won the first championsh in
1905, and William NJ. Foord, of Will
mington, Del.
The Shoot on Saturday will be at 200
birds" In addition there will be a
fve-man interclub team championship
In the latter shoot the Ave high guns
of each club or organization competing
will constitute team. There ia no
limit TO the number of gunners that
may shoot for an organization. Five
scores, however, are all that will count
on the championship.
In addition 70 the preliminary shoot
that will be held on Friday, the gum
ners of the New York Athletic Club
will decide the second leg of the home
and-home series against the nimrods
Of the Boston Athletic Association.
The Hub gunners won the first leg
that was decided in Boston a month
ago. However, the Mercury Foot ex-
perts believe that they will be able not
only to cut down the lead Of the Uni
corn shooters, but also to win the in
tercity championship. A dinner will
be given to the Boston gunners on Sat
urday evening. MAY /.

Manhattan boys. more teams in the
other districts have availed themselves
of the Trbune's offer and secured uni
forms and equipment. Some that al,
ready had uniforms needed. gloves and
bats. Others needed catcher's out
fit. and the new masks and mitts and
chest-protectors looked fine when the
teams lined up for after school prac-
tice.
One of the rules of the Public Schools
Athletic League tournament is that
each team which takes the field in the
competition must supply SpaldlnG..s
Official National League Jr ball. Each
school that entered the tournament re
ceived the Official baseball, presented
by The Tribune.

contest, and l.. Hurtig, of the Cleveland
Athletic Club, the plunge for distance.
On the other hand. Perry McGillivray,
Harry Hebner and Arthur Raithel took
the so, 100, 220 and 500 yard swims
among them, as well as the relay
race, with the aid of William Vos-
burgh. Michael McDermOtt scored a
victory in breast stroke swimming,
Hebner defeated all rivals az the back
stroke, and the clubs water polo team
trlumphed over every opponent.
IL was noticeable, however, that the
Western men by no means made the
clean sweep they did last year, nor did
they win so easily. The Mercury
Foot watermen gave them close fights
IN most of the battles for supremacy
and totalled good many more points
than in 1914. The final result was:
illinois Athletic Club, 4S points; New
York Athletic Club, q, and Chicago
Athletic Association, II.
IL was a source of general regret
that the New York Athletic Club had
10 start against the powerful Chicago
Club with crippled teams, both in the
relay race and in water polo. Herbert
\ollmer and James Reilly were unable
70 make the trip. the former in order
70 represent Columbia in the Pennsyl-
yania meet and the latter through sick
ness.
This affected materially the home
teams chances. for the two men are not
only fast sprinters, but strong in water
polo. Indeed. Vollmer is the best back
held man on the Mercury Foot seven,
and Reilly one OF the ablest scorers,
