AT THE TRAPS

BY RALPH SPOTTS.
The reasons why 1 took up trap
shooting" are. two.
First is that after one trial at the
traps 1 was annoyed to find out that
/ could not shoot as well as others.
Second is chance remark that 1
overheard.
In 1909 q registered trapshooting
tournament was held near my sum-
mer home in Maine. Although l had
hunted in the field and had done con-
siderable rifle shooting / had never
tried trapshooting. / watched the
shooting for several days and finally l
was induced to try it. 1t was with
considerable effort and pain, too, as
/gets and did not break one. Later
that day I shot 20 "straightaways"
and succeeded In breaking threee
My maiden effort brought forth this
remark from one of the observers:
'.That fellow could not hit O flock of
barns and never Will"
This remark annoyed me as much
as my failure to hit the targets, for II
We mt a pleasant feeling to nj. 70
know that others could break the
claX targets and / could not. ] inn
medfateIy purchased trap and had 1t
placed on my ground and practiced
there until / could break some Of tho
targets at least Then / became more
interested in the sport and on my re-
turn to New York I shot at the clubs
I belong to with more or less sue
cess. 1 have disapproved the chance
remark by winning the National Am
ateur trapshooting Championship
twice.

you meet men who are fair In COM
petition and perfectly willing to aid
each other more than in any other
sport One wins or loses almost inva-
riably with the good will Of his COM
petitors. In the past eight years /
have met thousands of trapshooters
and with very few exceptions / am
glad to know them and include them
among my friends.
There Is no sport in the world In
which the spirit of competition is
more fair or where the standard Of
sportsmanship is higher than in trap
shooting. 1t is the ood-fellowship
among the competitors and the appeal
of sport which is fair and clean
that is accountable for the marvellous
increase in the popularity of trap
shooting.
ally beneficial in the sport to attract
SO many people. Golf. Country
Yacht Women's Clubs, schools and
colleges have taken up the sport un-
til it has become a pastime of ma
tional interest 1T is sport on which
all meet on an equal footing. I like
1t and recommend 1t.
No article is complete without a
few words to beginners.
My advice to them is: First, select
q gun upon the advice of some good
shot. Get a gun that fits and adapt
yourself to It. Be careful not to stand
or so hold your gun but that you are
free and easy in your shooting, and
remember that If you do not break
them it is invariably your own fault
and not the fault of your gun or your
load If any of us could shoot any
gun or any load as we'll as 1t could be
shot, we would break them all SO
really. my only advice to beginners
is to select q gun that fits and adapt
yourself to 1t and then concentrate
and always remember that no match
is ever won or lost until the last shot
is fired. That Is how I have twice
won the Amateur Championship.

King Victor Emmanuel of Italy and

In the English royal family several
members made airplane flights when
flying machines were novelties, notably
Princes George and Albert of Batten-

Cicotte undoubtedly "has the stun
on the ball" Whether he gets this
from the shine ball or not IL relative

cult they say It Is irnpos1 sar =
| pitcher to be ueissc ,Ahat sSllH
doing at thirty-fve without se519e
ItidciaI aid. Cfootte and his team
| mates naturally aren't talking about
the shine ball.
BE that as IL may Cicotte has won
twenty three games so far this year,
more than any other American
League pitcher and to do that no
must have ability whether he uses q
shine ball or not.
Much OF Cicotte's success Is un-
doubtedly due to his study OF oppos-
ing bat,smen. There has probably
been no pitcher in baseball with tho
exception OF Matthewson who gave
so much of his attention to this
Naturally studious Cicotte scarcely
ever grooves the ball for an oppo-
nent, and usually is able thy his un-
canny control to place 1t where he
knows the batsman is weak.
1t is indeed strange that Cicotte
should have his best season after a
decade or more of rather unprepos-
sessing seasons, but there Is nothing
meteoric about Eddie and there Is no
question that he has been greatly un-
derrated in the past In his entire
career with the Red and White Sox
Cicotte has allowed an average OF
2.19 earned runs per game. an ac-
compiishment which few of the more
brilliant pitchers In either league has
achieved.
There is nothing erratic about Ed

announced to the stands Chicago
breathes q sigh of relief, SKIS back
easily In the seat and says:

Chicago, Sept. 17:---It took. Eddie
Cicotte Vars and Vars to become q
popular hero.
Most of these baseball heroes are
born in day, some when they have
scarcely been ,-bTsAsst.s.ssn1 1>asaHe
But not so with Cic6fte. He be
came q hero. just like he does every
thing else by persistent effort. and
the best thing about 1t is that the
little unassuming Frenchman won't
admit even to himself that he is a
hero.
But here In Chicago you can stop
even discussion of Mayor big Bill"
Thompson's latest faux pas by men,
tioning Cicotte's name.
For to Cicotte, more than to any
other person, Is credit given for put
ting the White Sox way out ON top,
from which, even ardent Boston fans
will reluctantly admit, IL will be quito
some little job TO disIodge them.
And 1t Is on Cicotte that the White
Sox fans depend mainly to crush Nc
Graw's brilliant Giants.
In q short series like the annual
classic Cicotte can pitch every other
day, and around Chicago they believe
Eddie has Just the kind of stuff that
MoGraw's versatile batting staff will
not care q great deal about.
What Is the secret of Cicotte's sue
cess7
In o. good many cities around this
league they will tell you 1t Is the
shine ball or sailer, which Is giving
him remarkable success.
In Chicago they declare It's be-
cause ''he has the stuff"
Cicotte himself believes 1t Is due to
hard work and his decade-long study
of opposing batters.
1t is undoubtedly combination of
