 Break Even on Week

Atlanta, August 19.-Nash- ville's lead by safe margin over the New Orleans club in the race for first place, and the descent of the Atlanta club from third to fifth berth, were the features of the Southern as sociation games this week. Although the Tennessee Volunteers lead was threatened by New Orleans last week, Nashville this week main. tained top place in good running by capturing five out of six games, against New Orleans split of two-two in four contests.
 Nashville's vigorous stride beginning with the capture of double bill from Atlanta on Monday, was interrupted but once, when the Volunteers fell before the Crackers Tuesday in to shutout The Crackers last week assumed .5oC per cent gait, with which they obtained eiHi" PioSe, put Wllu i've QeIeatS Tn this weeks contests they dropped to the sec ond division and their percentage of .491 was duplicated by Little Rock, who won from them yesterday in to 1 match Their only source of comfort was the ! victory over Nashville Tuesday.
 Little Rock practically repeated its rec ord of last week, winning four of six games. Birmingham fared better than Chattanooga, winning six out of eight games and going into third place. while the Lookouts captured four of six. These two teams. it is forecast, will feature a battle next week for the two lowest places in the second division; while some experts fear Atlanta will have travelled considerably to the rear of Little Rock in the second division when next week S games are concluded

.GRID|RON TRAINING
 SEASON STARTS AT
 HOWARD LABOR DAY
Coach Longwell Sending Out Letters to Candidates. ', Backfield Will Be
 Strong

Training season for football lat Howard college will begin Monday, September 4, and let ters to candidates for the How ard squad will go out this week, according to announcement Saturday by Dr. J. B. Longwell, director of athletics. College will open September 6, but Dr. Longwell thought a two-day start would be beneficial.
 Captain Strickland and some of the backfield men are expected to begin doing little light workout before the end of this week. This preliminary work will be done in order to acquaint the men with the style of play to be followed by Dr. Longwell and to give the punters and forward passers time for little extra drilling.
 Six or seven of Towards first string men will be back with the opening of the training season. Strickland and Gibson are the only old linemen probably who will report, Howard losing "Ducky'' Ford and Winston Caton, the star tackles, as well as Adams and Roach. the second string men. Haynes, Griffin, Williams. Pittard and Carlisle, however, will be back to help fill the big gap in the line.
 Buck Weaver, the big end, has been lost to the business world, and it will take hard work to fill his shoes How ever there is Dawson and Lindsay from the second string. Ed Duke will be back at the other end of the line
 BACKFIELD STRONG
 The backfeld is in better shape, with l Blackwelder, Price, Clayton, McPhauI
 and probably Campbell to return for work. Then there is Arthur Duke, an. other of the Duke brothers, who is cer- tain to make the squad this season, and Frank Davidson will be in the running When it comes to the new material ex- pected at Howard, Dr. Longwell main tains considerable silence He says he is trying not to expect too much. However, he indicated that he had two good tackles, another good linesman or two. a quarter back and another backfed man who would be with him at Howard when the training season opens. He said he had never seen these men play, but was III. l formed they would make the squad, and everyone possibly would be first string men.
 1 Tt isn't what you are going to have- 1 it is what you have" said pr. Longwen 1 T have been in athletics good many years, and have found that paper teams often fail to pan out. Let me ask that you wait until about September 15, then I will tell you about what you can ex- pect from Howard this season."

STATE CHAMPIONS ID SHOOT FOR THE
 NATIONAL TITLE Every State in the Union to Be Represented in the Big Affair at St.
 Louis

The national amateur trapshootng championship title will be shot for over the traps of the St Louis (Mo0 Sports mems association on Tuesday afternoon, August p.
 This is the event of the season for the amateur trapshooters. The hope of every state is entered in it. The national cham pionship for amateurs Is shot for only by the state champions. Therefore. it is necessary before trapshooter becomes qualified to shoot for the American title.
 Every trapshooter in the state has the opportunity to shoot for his state title and invariably the best trapshot wins. Hence 46 of the best amateur trapshots in the United States will appear before the traps in St. Louis. The District of Columbia, New Mexico, and Nevada are annexed to other states in shooting for tho title, so that every state in the union will be represented.
 This will be the third time that the national amateur title has been shot for, but in neither of the other two competi- tions were the field of shooters as good as the one this year. This will be the first time, too, that every state has been rep resented
 FORMER CHAMPIONS
 Wolfolk Henderson of Lexington, Ky. and Charles Newcomb of Philadelphia, won the amateur championships in 1914 and 1915, each breaking 99 targets Neith- CT will shoot for the title this year, as Henderson was beaten in' the Kentucky tournament getting second to Gay, and Newconb finished third in the Pennsyl- vania event. "Dol' Richardson, who broke 96 targets in 1914 and 9S targets in 1915 in the national title event, met with fatal injury a few days ago and could not participate in the Delaware championship, and the Peach Tree state will be represented by another this year.
 The Interstate Association for the En- couragement of Trapshooting, which is to trapshooting what the national commits sion is to baseball, makes it possoble for each state champion to attend, allowing each winner $75 towards expenses. This doesn't cover all expenses for some, but it greatly aids in cutting down the bills.
 GOOD SHOOTERS ENTER
 With the Delaware and Arkansas tournaments missing from the compilation as these tournaments were not shot when this article was penned, the figures show that seven trapshooters made the perfect score of 100 in winning their titles, seven others made 99 IA broke 9S, four broke 47, one broke 96, four broke 9S, five broke 94 and one 92 and 91. Every win ner bettered 90 per cent, and only one of the runners-up got below 90 per cent. Six of the runners-up broke 99 targets, which will give an idea of the shooting in some of the states.
 Pfirrman of California Nevada; Bur- meister of Illinois, Heil of Pennsylvania, BiPgelOW of TItah King of Colorado Pendergast of New York, and Ridley of Iowa are the trapshooters who go into the national championship with a perfect score. Only two perfect scores were mad in the state championship last year and one the year before.
