ALASKAN LEADS TRAP SHOOTERS
 BY GOOD MARGIN

When R. Douglas Morgan, ol Washington. D. C., broke 2S9 clay targets in one continuous run in the Westy Hogan trap shooting tourna- ment at Atlantic City he edged hia way into the trapshooters' hall Of fame.
 On the day of Morgan's splen- did performance it was raining, the wind was blowing a gale and the conditions were anything but good for the shattering of elusive clays, but it was Morgans weather.
 After he had broken 15O, and smashed them all in the center, shooters began asking, "Who is this fellow Morgan?" Morgan, a very quiet, unassuming man of 54 years sporting a Van Dyke beard, paid no attention to the inquiries, but went right along and won the amateur championship of the Hogans.
 Spent Years in North.
 Since that time. folks have learn GU W llO Nulo lNllOM a'Abl t1ahiA 10 thiaN why he shot so well in the gale at Venice Park. Fifteen years in the Klondlke gold fields fitted Morgau for just such a trial In those fir teen years Morgan learned lot of things, but was never successful in banning any great number e. nuggets
 Morgan went to the Klondike re- gions in 1898. He was accompau- jed by two friends They packed their own outfit of 5000 pounds oT- CT the Chilcoot Pass, whipsawed their lumber from native spruce, built their own boats, uavigated the Yukon and ran Five Finger Rapids and Whitehorse Rapids.
 Morgan mined in and about Daw- son with the usual miners ups and downs. In 1903 Morgan and his companions went on the stampede te Panama Valley and he remained ir the valley until 1912 They had no

better luck in the valley than they had in Dawson.
 While in Dawson Morgan promot- cd and played in the first baseball game ever staged at midnight. This was on June 21, 1898. On the same occasion he shot 100 blue rocks under the midnight sun. Morgan and his partners killed all their own game, of which there was aplcnty in the gold fields.
 While in the Panama Valley Nor gan formed the Panama Valley Gun Club with thirty members and the Tanana Valley Rife Club with forty five members. The latter organiza- tion was affiliated with the National Rifle Association. When mining got too poor Morgan went to work on a Fairbanks newspaper as linotype operator and compositor. He re- turned to the States in the late win ter of 1912 and his first shoot at registered tournaments was in the Kansas City midwintcr handicap ia February, 1913.
 Later in 1913 he tied for third place in the Grand American Handi- cap in Dayton and this year he was the runner-up in the Maryland-Dis- trict Columbia championship. His best rdns before the Atlantic City effort was 143 at Roanoke, Va, and 14O in Baltimore.

 With Theda Bara it was "A Fool There Was" that first brought her into prominence. Marguerite Clark gained her first film prominence in "WildHower. Fannie Wards great est success was "The Cheat" and it did more to popularize her than any other film production.
 William s. Hart, Douglas Fair banks and Charles Chaplin gained their fame in almost the same man ner.
 Mary Pickford's first great big success was "Tess of the Storm Country" and a majority of photo play patrons today still claim that it is her greatest picture. At any rate it is still playing to crowded houses throughout the country and bids fair to become the "Uncle Toms
