DAY OF THE TRAPsHooTiNG
 CLUB PROFESSIONAL HERE
Trapshootine Organizations Can Be of Great Aid to the Country by En- gazing Instructors to Teach the Art of Shooting.
By PETER P. CARNEY


 Editor National Sports Syndicate. Many things other than the lure of the open, help swell the ranks of the golfing clan, vet the thing that con . tributes most to the growth of golf is the club professional.
 And this causes us to remark why not the trapshooting club profession al2
 With 5000 trapshooting clubs in the United States and Candada. it is not within the range of possibility for ev- cry club to secure a professional. but 1t is safe in saying that professional instructors of 200 of these clubs would be just as beneficial to the trapgun sport as the professional is to the an- cient Scotch pastime.
 Several clubs, the Los Angeles (Cal) the Lincoln Park of Chicago III. and the Providence (R. I.) Gun club have professional instructors in Fred Tee pie. James A. Groves and William H. 1y added to the prestige of these or ganizations. The Providence club is the latest to add the instructor When the new club house was erected, an ners, on which they can practice and learn the art without expense
 The idea of a trapshooting club pro- fessiona1 might prove suggestive to the Interstate association for the encour- agement of trapshooting or to such clubs as the Chicago Gun club. the Badger Gun club, of Milwaukee. Wis. the Wilmington (DeL) Trapshooting association, the New York Athletic club, and the South Shore Country club, of Chicago.
 Of course there are travelling pro- employed by trapshooting interests, but while these fellows are ever ready to give. valuable advice to the embryo shooting star, yet the wis it's of these "hired mem are necessarily infrequert and irregular in a degree that makes anything like systematic instruction a matter out of the ques- tion.
 The vets at any trapshooting club ever stand ready to cheerfuily "teach the young idea how to shoot."- but men shooting for the pleasure of the as. instructors at the expense of miss !! ing their turns on the firing line.

All Should Learn to shoot.

Now, borrowing 8 decidedly good idea from golf, it seems in order to suggest that the Interstate associa- tion compensate, in a substantial way volunteers at gun clubs, who are ca pablo and willing to coach not only newcomers but also others who are un- able to get the hand of the. science of shooting to register better than 70 per cent. scores.
 In a number of cases, trapshoot- ing clubs are sufficiently able to em- ploy coaches, and any club could add to it's popularity and growth if it au : thorized one or more experts from among it's members, to offer instruc- tion at a stated price, per hour, as is the case with professional golfers.
 Since trapshooting is essentially an amateurs sport. paid instructors should be brought under the Inter state associations rulings relative to professionals.
 In order to secure uniformity and
