TRAP AND FIELD
By Peter p. Carney.

The trapshooting league idea is
growing like wildfire. especially in the
northwest, where three leagues, each
one having twelve clubs, have been
formed within the past few weeks.
THESE leagues are known as the In
land Empire, the Columbia Will
lamette and the Northwest Trapshoot-
erS' leagues.
The novel thing about two of the
leagues is that the promotion was done
by newspapers-not the clubs-and
the movement is being fathered by
them The Spokesman-Review, of
spokane, Wash, is conducting the In
land Empire league, and the Portland
(Ore) Oregonian is managing the Co
Observation-Disclosures league. Both have
twelve cities represented in Washing
ton and Oregon, and are conducted
along the same lines.
The entrance of the newspapers into
trapshooting promotion is a good thing
for the sport. The publicity that the
newspapers have given to baseball has
made that sport what it is today. The
same cooperation with trapshootinS
VIII make that sport just as popular.
1t is growing faster than any other
sport in America, has more followers
today than any other, and it will con-
tinue to grow with the aid of the press
and public, and always remain the
faireSt of American sports.
The trapshooting organizations of
the central and middle west get on the
job early. The Wisconsin state tourna-
ment will not be held until late in
July, yet the Wisconsin association has
already posted the country with at
tractive cards announcing the shoot.
These cards have been sent to every
gun club in the country. The program
is novel, several thousand dollars n
cash and trophies being offered. The
Minnesota state tournament takes
place at the same time as the Wiscon-
sin meet, and the up-and-doing meth
DDS of the Wisconsin people have
caused the Minnesota association to
get a move on and plan months ahead.
Both associations expect more than
200 entries. Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and
Missouri expect to do as well. 1t looks
like a big year in the middle west.

WEST SLIPPING?
Giants and Red SOX Running
Away in Big Leagues.
IT Will Hurt Baseball for Them
to Win Flags.

New York, May 14.-On top of war
and weather. the walloping east is now
threatening baseball. The Giants and
Red Sox are making a runaway affair
of the two big leaguse races in the
early spring going, when it is general
ly recognized the west must break into
the world series again if this classic
is TO be kept alive.
The New Workers have uncoiled a
percentage of 1922 and the Cubs, in
second place, are plodding along at
6S4 today The Red Sox are even
more predominant with a record OF
ia against the Yankees 81.
War conditions are bad for base
ball; weather conditions are kicking
the grand old game. But a world
series between these two eastern teams
would do more than either of these
agencies to lower popularity.
Not since the days of the Cubs and
Pirates has a western club had a
crack at a worlds pennant. Western
fans have sworn off paying railroad
fare to the est for their worlds series
games.
The White SoX gave promise and the
Cardinals and Cubs have been wander
ing around the top of the percentage
list, but an actual slant at the happen
ings really gives them little chance at
a champion unless they produce more
than exhibited to date.

MORRISVS. MORAN
Heavyweights VIII Stage Big
N. Y. Bout This Week.
OkIahOman Seems To Be Conf
dent of Victory.
BY JACK XEIOCK.

New York, May 14.-Having put out
Fred Fultons light, and established
himself as a more rugged battler than
Jim Coffey, ponderous Carlos Morris
is making ready to tackle a pugna-
cious gentleman by the name OF
Francis Moran. The big event-it is
for the Harlem Sporting club. New
York, on May IS. and the outcome
means everything to the man from
Oklahoma.
Morris is conducting a campaign
which he hopes will land him in the
ring with Jess Willard, and so far he
has managed to climb over two Stum-
bling blocks that were showed into his
path by the promoters. In Moran the
| ambitious Mr.. Morris is going to run
into the biggest obstruction on his
horizon, for Sir Francis is the trial
horse that must be brushed aside by
any heavyweight who hopes to trade
wallops with Willard.
Carl Has Confidence.
In punching his way to n muss with
Moran, Morris has not shown the ear
marks of a worldbeater. He is not
crafty ringman. He is not fast and
clever, but he is tough and willing.
He believes that he can beat any
heavyweight who will stand up and
trade punches with him, and his IA
vorite style is a head-on collision, fol-
lowed up with the hammer-and-to ngs
stuff at close quarters. Once he gets
into close quarters Morris can do lot
of Furnishing, and there is no doubt
that it will take well-aimed wallops
| by Moran to offset Morriss efforts
when they get together.
Moran is a one-punch fighter. At
| least he has proven this in the fights
| he has won in the past. He packs a
| mighty mean crusher in his right
hand, his favorite Mary Ann" and it
| will behoove Morris to keep his jaw
on siding and avoid a collision with
that said Mary Ann" If it ever
lands on the button Morris will prove
himself a superman if he doesn't go
| down.
| Careless Trainer.
Moran's great weakness is his care
| lessness in training. He loves train
| ing just about as well as the British
| love Won Hindenburg. But he has
promised to be in condition when he
| faces Morris, and if he keeps that
promise the work cut out for Carlos
is going to be doubly hard. Morris.
| too, is preparing to crawl through
the ropes minus all superfluous flesh,
and he should make a better fight
than he put up against Jim Coffey.
| When these two battlers get into
, the ring it will be a case of writing
| your own ticket from present indica-
lions, for the match looks like good
| one Morris should win if he sticks
| out the ten rounds, but Moran, and
| Mary Ann are going to amount to
something if Frank ever pilots that
punch against Morris's chin. -a9
