Clubs of All Kinds Adopt
Trapshooting AS Sport;
Brings Good Fellowship
BY PETER p. CARNEY
Editor National Sports Syndicate

In the neighborhood of two hundred
golf, country and yacht clubs have
adopted trapshooting as an added
sporting diversion during the past year
and now the automobile clubs are TAX
ing to the sport alluring. BY the adop-
tion of trapshooting we mean that
these clubs have installed trapshooting
equipment and engage in club compe-
tition.
There are seasons of the year when
yachtsmen, motorists, golfers and the
frequenters of country clubs generally
have nothing to do and the clubs be-
come more or less inactive, so one by
one the officers have come to the con-
clusion that it is best to give the men,
bers additional sport to keep them in
terested and to continue to visit the
club. And one by one they have adopt
ed trapshooting as the means of keep
ing the members enthusiastic.
There is nothing like trapshooting
for good fellowship. 1t is a sport that
is wholesome, always in season; a sport
that knows no class distinction. 1t is
followed by men and women, ir-
spective of their station in life.
One of the first automobile clubs to
take UP trapshooting was the Park
Automobile Club of Kansas City, Mo,
and this club now has a membership
of 1000 interested in trapshooting and
Speedway Park Association of Chicago,
ILL.,, installed two traps inside the pad
dock of the racetrack and these traps
are enjoyed by thousands of members
who now frequent the track and racing
course even when there is no racing.
The Philadelphia (Pa) Automobile
Speedway, which is in course of con-
struction, has made plans for the con-
struction of four modern traps and all
equipment.
