Donovan Wins
Final Shoot on
ravers Island
Gets Prize After Breaking
Three-Cornered Tie
Plum Disappoints

The New York A. C. clay bird ex-
perts rung down the curtain for the
trap shootings season yesterday at
Travers Island, the farewell event be-
ing the club championship of zoo
birds. A string of ffty-two enthusi-.
asts of wing shooting faced the traps.
and an idea of the keenness Of the
craftsmanship may be CLEANED from
the fact that three men tied for the
diamond and ruby studded medal
awarded to the high gun.
The trio to finish level were J. r.
Donovan, C. H. Newcomb, twice ma
tional champion, and L. F. Curtis.
each shattering 194 out of the possible
200, They shot off a twenty-hvc-bird
race, with the result that they took
their places for the first three prizes
as they are named.
There were ten prizes in all. In
the first hundred Newcomb hung up
the high score with a total Of SS,
while Donovan cracked 96 and Curtis
"a. Newcomb missed a few ridicu-
iously easy ones in his second hun
dred and had to be content with 90.
Curtis did the best work, breaking 100
straight. Donovan hit 90 in his sec
ond hundred.
The surprise Of the day was the
downfall of Frederick Plum, the ma
tional amateur champion and the man
who week ago smothered all oppo-
sition in the title race, as we'll as
setting up all sorts of records for
continuous runs and for the high gun
total: Plum began poorly, and try as
he did he could never get the proper
range of the clays. In the first hun
dred he cracked SO, which was poor
for him, and in the next hundred he
dropped four, making his total 1913.
w. S. Silkworth also accounted for
1913. This made dead heat for fourth
and fifth places. In the shoot-off
Silkworth beat Plum and was pre-
sented with fourth prize.

Ninth Straight Win Gives
Evander Childs H. S. Title

Evander Childs High School yester-
day registered it's ninth successive vic
tory in the school baseball champion

played.
The Evander boys smashed the of
ferings Of Grody, of Stuyvesant, all
over the field for total Of seventeen
hits. This included many extra base
hits. Stocker, Hirschfield and Toorick
were the heavy hitters. Stocker cleared
the bases in the second inning with a
home run. Hirschfeld held Stuyvesant
to three scattered hits and struck out
fourteen batsmen.

One of the best feats of the meet
was the high jumping of Templeton,
the former Leland Stanford University
champion, who sailed over the bar al
six feet three inches. The perform
ance was considered the more remark
able as Templeton had been able to get
only two short practice workouts prior
to the games. The event was most
stubbornly contested; six of the twelve
competitors reached the six-foot
height.

We are on the threshold of a new,
and let US hope, a prosperous season
on the lawn tennis courts. 1t is true
that conditions this year are not so
favorable In many ways as in bygone
days, when the cream Of all the great
players was wont to battle for the
titles, national and international. This
season will find terrible gap wrought
in the ranks of the ten greatest players
of the country, owing to the call to
the colors, but those who remain will
carry on the burden of maintaining
the game at somewhere near standard
quality.
In one respect, the almost wholesale
desertion Of tennis by its leaders for
the more serious game overseas, will
act as an unusual stimulus In develop
ing the younger stars Of the courts. 1t
will give the youngsters an opportunity
to compete in all the more important
tournaments, with the accompanying
gathering Of that experience that is
invaluable to those who seek the high
places, and it is upon these boys that
the game Of lawn tennis must depend
for its very fine life within the next
few years. All should lend q hand in
encouraging them and doing all pos
sible to help them "carry on" until the
war is behind us.
One Of the first and most important

Percy Kynaston. On the first day play

mits she hates him.
Five months ago Katherine became
