TRAPSHOOT|NG TOUR
 SUGGESTED AS AID ID THE RED GROSS
Western Professional Sug- gests That Teams Repre- senting East and West
 Tour Country
Fly GEORGE BERTz

Hugh Posten. the San FranciscoA pro- fessional trapshot. who made the long est run of the 1917 season, offered a real good suggestion in a conversation with me the other day. Posten sug gested that five of the leading pro fessional trapshooters of the east anG similar number of the western cracks tour the country for the benefit of the American Bed Cross.
 The idea is worthy of consideration
 Itisn't new one, as it has been sug- gested to several of the ammunition companies that they ne1p the Red Cross in this way. but coming from Posten it shows that the trapshooters them selves are interested and are willing to aid the movement
 Such a tour no doubt would result in many thousands of dollars being raised for the Red Cross as we'll as to increase the interest in trapshooting and be in- strumental in instrueting the public in the proper use of the gun and just what trapshooting means to the United States.
 iAdPSiiCStiHks HAS uten uOtIlR US pest mot its bit-for the American Red Cross ever since America got into the war. They have donated ambulances, the gun clubs of the country stage ben eft shoots from time to time, and in the Grand American Handicap the Red Cross events netted several thousand dollars One of the Red Cross events in this tournament was a competition between the east and the west
 As the westerns trapshooting cracks have never invaded the east and the >asterners have done very little shoot ing in the west, such tour as sug gested by I'osten could not do anything but attract large audiences
 western team might be made up of Posten, F. l.. Mitchell of Los An seles. Lester Reid of Seattle. Frank Riehl of Tacoma and Rush Pazee of Curtis, Neb., or George Maxwell, the one-armed shot of Hastings, Neb Some possibilities for the eastern team are Lester German of Baltimore, Homer Clark of Alton.

Red Sox Need One Game To Cinch Rag

Boxing promoters are peculiar peo- pie
 It seems that they simply cannot re- sist the impulse to exaggerate and mis- represent to the public even if such actions mean no financial gain for them. Giving the public the works is habit so deeply imbedded in the system of boxing promoters that they cannot overcome it even when run nings shows for charity.
 Two boxing shows, conducted solely for worthy war charities, recently. were run off in the Gotham district-one in New York city and the other in Brook- lyn. Each attracted huge crowds. But both were genuine disappointmepts to the audiences simply because the pro gramme put on was not the programme that had been announced
 And so the fans have 'soured' on boxing shows of that kind because they have been tricked twice-ano that's about as much as they will stand for On two different occasions they have been lureds by the promise of real fights. and nothing but tame exhibi- tions were put on. And twice head line attraction was bil1ed-and neither was staged.
 It's too bad that the promoters made promises to the fans which they Knew they couldn't fulfill. Their action in disappointing the audiences has made the latter lacking in faith as to future promises, and if efforts are made to put on another show it probably wouldn't draw more than corporars guard.
 A. huge throng turned out in New York city for the first of the two shows. It was drawn largely by the announcement that Benny Leonard and Willie Jackson would put on real fight and that Jack Dempsey and Billy Miske would do likewise.
 But the affair between Leonard and Jackson was huge disappointment It was a burlesQue-not a fight. And yet it wasn't the fault of Leonard or Jack son. They had agreed merely to do a little exhibition boxing; they didn't agree to fight. The boys went through with their part and gave an exhibition performances. But the chowd, bitterly disappointed, hissed and booed them The audience had been promised real fight--and 1t didn't get it. The fault was with the promoters who engaged the boys only for an ex- hibition contest--and then promised crowd fight.
 And, to make matters worse. the Dempsey -Miske match never was put

Deal gives Chicago rather a large lead over the Red Sox. and that is chiefly due to his known ability to field and the fact that he is the kind of a batter liable to spring surprise by making a slam when least expected.
 Deal is a fielder who has been much underrated by the experts largely be- cause he has been a weak hitter dur ing all his major league career. and even being with a winning club this season has not served to improve his batting He is normal .225 hitter in the big leagues, and does not figure to hit nearly that well against the Red Sox pitching, which will be at least 25 per cent higher than the average of National league twirling this sea- son. You can figure Deals hitting prac- tically negligible quantity in this se- res, save that he Is liable to take a strong crack at Bushs speed, and a hit in a pinch means 8 lot in such a series.
 DEAL A GOOD FIELDER
 But in the defensive feature of the game Deal stands very high, even when compared With the pest llelueES oL lho game past and present. He has mar vellous pair of hands and is one of the best men in the business in blocking and holding hard drives down the line. He throws very well and has the repu- tation of being at his best in the tigtest places.
 Deal showed his nerve and ability with the Boston Braves until Smith s superior hitting ability drove him off third base, and those who watched the race that year, and also follows on the team, declare that his fielding was one of the strongest points in the winning combination. He has been the same with Chicago this year, and his work In conjunction with young Hollocher has helped make the team solid in the inner line of defensvie work. In other words, Deal is great in defense but as member of the shock squad he isn't much, although he rather shines in comparison with Boston
 Third base has been the weakest spot in the Red Sox team all year, and If Barrow is rated as a great man age. it should be largely upon the man. ner in which he had kept plugging up
