When the Eastern Handicap Trap
shooting tournament was staged in
Wilmington. Del, in 1913 one of the
squads that shot through the tourna-
ment was composed of Jay Graham,
of Ingleside, Ill; H. D. Gibbs, of Uninn
City, Tenn; Lester. German, of Aber-
deem, Md; William Heer, of Guthrie,
Okla, and Charles. C. Spencer, of st.
Louis Mo.
These names to trapshooters are
what the names of Cobb, Speaker,
Lajoie ct al. are to baseball fans. 1t
is doubtful if greater squad of trap
shooters was ever gotten together and
it would be a good wager that this
squad could defeat any other five
men at the traps.
Here are few things that these men
have done at the traps:
Beginning with Graham because he
is the first one to greet you on the
photograph it is nice to say that he
won the amateur trapshooting cham
pionship of the world in the Olympic
games held at Stockholm, Sweden, in
1912. That in itself is a great honor
one that anyone should be proud
of but that was only an incident in
the life of Graham. He is the holder
of the amateur long-run record of

great men of the diamond and will be
a great help to the Brooklyn team as
coach and utility player if he can be
persuaded to report.
According to Charles H. Ebbets he
was purchased from J. J. McCaffrey,
owner of the Toronto club, for $4,000,
but Lajoie insists that he is a free
agent and could not be sold or traded
without consent.

declared himself the question nc

SOL METZGER'S COLUMN

something, although not defined, was
caused by the idealist-the man who
was far-sighted enough to realize
what sport for all meant to the ma
tion-making the mistake of trying
to kill our development of sport first
before explaining his conception of it.
He was at heart an iconoclast. We
did mot like to be told that our pet
hobbies in sport were all wrong. In
fact, we desicovered there was much
more good in our sport, especially our
intercollegiate sport, than had even
been planned for.
The idealist never got anywhere,
although his ideas were splendid,
simply because he devoted more time
to attacking that which existed than
to proving his case. He sought to
throw out the scheme of athletics the
colleges had developed rather than to
use them and their very good quail
ties as an aid to his own just cause.
There was the rub. There was and is
his trouble at the present time as he
uses the world crisis with all its top
sy-turvy effect on college athletics to
set them aside for his own pet theor-
les. He has been, most unfortunate
| ly, most impractical man.
| What the result of all the wartime
argument and action in regard to re-
forming intercollegiate and college
sport is going to be is difficult
prediction to make. One thing is be-
coming more and more certainty.
That is that intercollegiate sport,
whatever it's faults, will not die. The
informal scheme of things tried at
several colleges met with sudden
death and at an institution such as
the U. S. Military Academy it is a fact
admitted that even football cannot
continue unless the a1l-important
Navy game be played.
But admitting that intercollegiate
sport will not die it would be a pity
if the sport for all idea met with an
unlike fate. While it is ideal that in
itself is no reason for passing it by
We have already seen what splen-
did response the intercollegiate ath-
lete has made to the CALI of his coun-
try, hence the thought arises: why not
more and more of such a thing until
gradually all students get such train
ing? That is the big question ano
that is the question the practical ath-
letic men must solve for the ideal
lists, who have launched sport for all
have dismally failed. 1t would be toe
bad if all this agitation in the matter
of college athletics should fail to bring
about results, or if peace should come
and find us without an improved col
, lege athletics system.
The mere matter of whether We
have professional coaches or not? o.
whether we have training tables OF
. not? and of whether other agitate6
) economies are put, into force or not
Iare questions of little importance
| aside from the object. The question
t is: whether we have nearly everybod!
in strenuous sports? or whether but ;
small percentage, as in the past, il
to represent the college? If our war
time sport agitation results in spor

r we'll taken. If it does not then Civ

Is Boxing Popular?
$4,000 See This Bout

Camp Upton, L. l., March %
Professional boxing is taboo in New
York State, but not even in fistiana's
palmiest days vast here an audience
of $4,000 fans such as there was at
Camp Upton yesterday afternoon to
witness the finals for the division
championships.
Practically the entire Metropolitan
Division was on hand at the parade
grounds. Surrounding the ring was a
vast-field of khaki-twenty-fi thou
sand of EN-, from gray-haired General
j. Franklin Bell, just returned from
France sitting sedately in the front
row, surrounded by fringe of colo
nels and captains and shave-tail lie
tenants, down to the buck pr1vares,
thousands and thousands of cheering,
shouting soldier fans.
The bouts, ranging from the feath-
erweights to the heavies, were all
corkers. The boys were all in tip-top
shape, having trained as arduously as
any professional ever during the past
month.
Nor were the bouts mere amateur
ish exhibitions or clumsy suggests.
Fully half of the soldier scrappers
were either former noted profession
ais or boosted or regulations as anna
teur champions. The best known to
New York fight fans are Richie
Ryan, lightweight; TEX Kelly, mid
dleweight, and Knockout" Bill Bren-
nan, light heavyweight. The other
prominent boxers to win in their di-
visions were Joe Tiplitz and John
Gaddi

shattered 499x500 and 647x65o.
William H. Heer, is as good trap
shooter as ever held trapgun. He
showed the professionals the way in
the averages in 1910 with 1918 and
again in 1913 with $3.50 and after
three years lay off came back in 1917
and outctlassed the amateurs with an
average of .9741. He was the maker
of the largest run in 1913 with 279.
Charles G. Spencer, the outside fig
ure on the right has held his own in
the fastest trapshooting company for
these many years - in fact he has
been a trifIe ahead in a numgber of
years. He has a grand average of
9677 for nine years and was the
professional high average shooter in
1909 with 1920 and in 1916 with
1880. He was also the high average
leader in doubles in 1915 and 1915.
In 1906 he won the Southern Han
dicap and in 1910 he won the profess
sionaI championship at doubles. His
record of 565 straight from 16 yards
made at Viola, Ill, on September Is,
II and IS, 1909, will stand a lot of
beating. He also put up the high run
figures in 1912-309.
Now don't you think this makes a
mighty fine squad of trapshooters?
