CRACK SHOTS SHOOT
AT HOLMESBURG TODAY
Charles Newcomb, National
Champion, and Others Fire
in S. S. Whites Test

Holmesburg Junction was the scene of a
big registered target shoot today. The
cream Of trapshootIng talent of Delaware
New Jersey and Pennsylvania fired over the
traps in the ninth annual target shoot of
the s. S. White Gun Club at the Keystone
grounds.
Among the prominent shots were Charles
II. Newcomb, national single target cham.
pion; Plat. OF Bridgeton; Plum. of Allan.
tic City; Martin, OF Harrisburg, and Foord
and Beacham, Of Wilmington. A big rep.
resentation OF local nlmrods were present.
Eleven events comprise the program.
Ten events are at Is targets each and one
at so birds. The last contest-the S. S.
White Specials a handicap event. The
gunners, rated according to their recent per.
formances will shoot from rise 16 to 22
yards from the traps. Considerable inter
est is manifested in this event among the
local assemblage of cunning folk, for II
carries with 1t an honor and distinction
which is worth while besides nice silver
trophy.
L. Lloyd Lewis was in charge OF the one
day tournament. Two sets OF traps were
in operation. Sterling silver prizes were
the awards of the successful gunnerS.

ing the best golf of the tournament that
day.
The Smashing Test
4, L. $. G. A. championship now at
match play has got to be a smashing test
In addition to Evans. there are Jerry Trav
ers, Bob Gardner, Oswald, Kirkby, Max
Marston Ned Sawyer, Reggie Lewis and
several others who are likely to travel
around in 72 or 49, There are at least
dozen amateurs now who may beat 76 at
any given round.
And these no longer falter before cham
pions. That was proved at Detroit, when
Evans, Travers and Ouimet all fell before
Sawyer. Marston and Standsh before the
tournament had hardly got warmed up.
Bob Gardner won last year by an exhibi.
tion of fine golf and finer courage Yet
he came twice within a hair.breadth of be.
ing hooked He beat Tom Sherman. two up
and one 20 play. where in one case he got
one to Shermans two on short hole.
He was saved again when Marston miss
ed an 1S-inch putt These incidents go
to show just what happens in a champion
ship tournament where there is very little
difference among the leading 10.
The Luck of the Draw
There is a lot, too in the luck of the
draw. To win a championship the victor
must win five 36-hole matches Suppose it
fell TO Evans's lot to meet Travers Kirkby
beat any one or any two of these But
beating all four in succession would be
we'll nigh hopeless.
Then again there Is the proposition of
going against opponent who looks to
be easy and have said opponent romp
around in "a or rs. In the recent New
Jersey championship Oswald Kirkby drew
Henry Seggerman for his first opponent
Kirkby had been giving Seggerman three
strokes without any trouble. Yet in this
match Kirkby was around in 73 and still
Seggerman had only to make 3-foot putt
to win on the eighteenth green IL that
3-foOter had dropped, Kirkby, despite his
fine golf, would have been beaten in his
first round without ever drawing the chance
to overthrow Max Marston in that 4O-hole
final
Must Be in Shape
The man who goes through the anna
teur championship at Merton must first
of all be In fine physical shape or he will
never be able to bear up under the heavy
strain. To move from one tough opponent
to another and to know that any one round
may bring defeat does not leave much OF
a breathing SPELL II is certainly no place
for golfer who starts in stale The
best chance belongs to the entry who Is
just coming on TO his game as the tour
nament opens and who is thereby picking
up more and more confidence with each
round.

TTAS the year finally arrived when Amer
i i lea is to present a golfer capable Of
winning both the open championship and
the amateur championship the same season?
Merton. Pa. will answer this query in
September.
Exactly 26 years ago John Ball proved
that the trick of winning the leading medal
and match play competitions could be
turned. Ball that year won both the Brit
ish amateur and the British open, to the
great astonshment Of the golf world. who
had no idea such an achievement could be
put through. Two years later Harold Hill
ton achieved the same eminent destiny. But
so far the L. S. OF A. has had no one
golfer to offer as brilliant parallel to
Ball and Hilton, the two English stars.
The Third Chance
When Evans comes TO Merton in Sep
tember he will be the last of the great
trio to have clean shot at the double
title
In 1913 Oulmet won the open, but he
had lost to Travers in the amateur
Last year Travers won the open, but
Max Marston eliminated Jerry at Detroit
by playing the last IL holes in 43 strokes,
five under fours and three under par.
Travers had just started coming to the top
of his game when Marston struck this un-
beatable whirl of play. so Jerry's chance
TO win both events in tho same year faded
on the thrty-fifth green, And the tough
part of it all was that Jerry went down
after playing the last II holes exactly in
par. neither one stroke better nor one
stroke worse than par on any one of these
holes.
Up to Evans
Where Travis back in the early days
and where Ouimet and Travers of later
seasons failed. Evans still has his chance
Ouimet won the open in 1918 and the anna
teur in 1914, but he was unable TO hook
both together the same year.
Now enters Chick. the last OF the Three
Musketeers of American golf to take his
shot at the double-pointed heights.
This Merton affair will be a harder test
for Chick than the open was. In the first
place. Evans always has been rated better
at medal play. largely because he has
putted with greater consistency in the for
mer test
Then, in match play, no matter how fine
a golfer man may be, one days lapse
will drop him out or, IL he doesn't run
into lapse, there Is no telling Just when
he will run against some golfer shooting
his bally head on in an exceptional round
Last year, for example, at Detroit any
number of golfers were able to keep we'll
in the lead playing from rs to 81. Yet
against Sawyer in the forenoon Evans had

No Club Has Guisto
AS predicted in the EVENING LEDGER,
the long hikes across the country to the
Pacific Coast League by major league
scouts, the purpose OF each being TO pur-
chase young man named Louis Guisto,
who Is first baseing and clouting home runs
for Portland, went for naught The Cleve-
land club announced yesterday that il had
purchased" Guisto for $4,000 in real money
and seven players who either are with the
Indians at the present time or are In minor
leagues under optional greements.
Unless the Cleveland scouts decided that
GulstO was oveTrated there was not a
chance for any other team to buy Guisto, no
matter how much money was offered the
Portland club. Guisto was the official
property OF the Cleveland team as soon as
he signed his Portland contract, as are all
Of McCredie's players. according TO the
working agreement" between the two
owners.
Manager Mack mentioned in the club
office at Shlbe Park recently that Guisto
was making quite a record and II might be
worth while looking him over, Mack believ-
ing that he could be developed into an out
fielder At the time we reminded him that
GuistO was booked for Cleveland. but Con-
ME sent Ira Thomas to Portland. Ira lin
gered there only for a day or two having
been convinced that there was not a chance
for any team but Cleveland to land the SEN
sational youngster.
Risberg Not On Market
Thomas then moved on to Vernon and
was instantly impressed with "Swede" Ris-
berg. the second baseman recently pur-
chased by the White Sox. Several clubs
thought they had chance to land Risberg
among them being the Phillies, but Thomas
also learned in a few hours that this prize
also was not on the market. another work
