TRAP SHOOT
 WILL BE HELD

NEW YORK, July, The completed program for the eighteenth annual Grand American Handicap, as an- ncunced by the Interstate Trap shoot ing association, forecasts one of the best tournaments ever staged by that organization The fiye-day shoot will be held at Chicago under the aus pices of the South Country Club with more than $f,00O of added money. The tournament will open on Monday, August 20, with the South Shore Introductory; Tuesday will witness the entrants shooting for prizes in the Chicago Overture; the National Amateur championships at singles and double targets. On August 22 there will be a prelimi nary handicap, while the Grand Am erican will be shot the following day and the meet closed with a con solation handicap on August 24.
 The winners and runners-up in the individual state championships alCn" will be eligible to shoot in the Na tional Amateur championships, while any amateur can enter the Grand American handicap, which calls for one hundred targets at unknown an gles to be shot from the 16 to the 23-yard mark, according to handicap. Entries will close on August this season, which is a week earlier than usual.
 The first Grand American Handi- cap was shot at Interstate park, N. Y, in 1900 and there were seventy four entries. The popularity of the event grew rapidly, and each sue ceedng year brought larger fields of entrants, the record being held by Chicago, which attracted SS4 trap shooters for ;ne 1915 tournament. Chicago also figures in another rec ord, for it was during the 1910 tour ney, held in that city, that Riley Thompson won with a perfect score: l. e loo x100

The revised tennIs foot fault rule as promulgated by the national as sociation has, in the opinion of eX pert players and tennis authorities, cleared away much of the uncertain ty regarding the meaning and en- forcement of this regulation. Ac- cording to the latest code, service is delivered the instant the ball and racquet come into contact; it is a hop or jump if both feet are off the ground at the same time; the ground ed foot may be turned or twisted in any manner without violating the rule. provided it does not leave the ground
 After preparing to serve there must be no movement of the foot that can be construed as step but no step can be said 10 be completed until the foot is repaced upon the ground The server must come to d complete stop before serving the ball, and both feet must be behind the line; furthermore, one foot must remain upon the ground until the ball is hit by the racquet The racquet and any portion of the body other than the feet may, however, cross the line before the ball i. hit.

Various reports received in San Francisco from Australia by local sporting men are to the effect that since the United States entered into the world war the American pugl- lists who have been boxing in the antipodes are not as popular as they were before this event. Accord ing to these accounts. boxers like Jimmy Clabby and others are being looked upon more or less in the same light in which the late Les Darcy was considered over here. Darcy was officially designated as a stacker by the governor of New York State, and, largely for this reason, other communities fell in line and refused to permit the Australian to appear in any matches. It generally is believed here that the American pugiIists will from now on meet with cold reception and that their money making days in Australia are over as long as the war lasts.

Word has been received al the na- tional headquarters Of the Amateur Athletic Union that Clinton Larsen, Utah high jumper, failed in his re cent special trial to better the world record held by Edward Beeson of California. Larsen several weeks ago cleared the bar with the pegs regis tering 6 feet inches The jump was made in an exhibition, however and according to A. A. |. rules could not be accepted. As a result a spe cial event Was staged few days later with Alma Richards and sev- eral other good jumpers competing against Larsen, but the latter was not quite on edge, and the best he could do was feet 1 inches.
 Richards carried Larsen along to 6 feet 2 inches, where he was forced to retire with a sprained ankle. Lar sen then cleared the bar two inches higher and had it placed at 6 feet s inches. at which point he failed in three attempts. He had no diff fculty in winning the broad jump with a leap of over twenty feet, however, and his admirers predict that he will set a new worlds rec ord in the high jump before the sum mer is over.
