WILSON DRAW
frankie Makes Strong Finish
at Camp Morgan After Tip
litZ leadS>in Points.

Frankie Wilson and Joe Tiplitz gave
the capacity crowd at Camp Morgan
last night something to talk about.
They put up a real fght-not the
you-tap-me and Ill-tap-you kind but
a real honest-to-goodness mix-up with
all the trimmings and sparks that
come when two high class lads mix.
Tiplitz had Just a shade of the eight
rounds milling but Wilson's game
rally in the eighth, earned for him a
popular draw from his hundreds of
friends at the ringside.
Wilson finished against Tiplitz just
as he has finished in many of his
other battles around herewith a
rush that carried his seemingly VIC
torious opponent off his feet. Tiplitz,
fresh from his decisive victory over
Danny Pavese at the Airdrome in
Newark, was confident of repeating
over Frankie. But Wilson sprang a
surprise at the very start. The round
was slow, with each battler feeling
the other out. Wilson, however was
the more aggressive.
Tiplitz let loose his heavy artillery
in the third and sent home many solid
again, the Sr~ooklynite'6 dazzling foot
work taking him completely of his
guard.
From then on until the eight, the
best Wilson could claim was a draw
with two of the rounds going TO Tip
litz. But in the eighth Frankie cut
loose and his whirlwind finish simply
brought down the house.
Camp R%aritan's representative. Cor
poral G%erriddy slipped the skids under
the Camp Morgan boxer, Kid Brennan
of h Police Department. In a sched-
uled four-round bout. Brennan was
saved by the bell In the second. The
referee stopped the bout In the early
part of the fourth to save Brennan
from further punishment.
Lew Gerber was defeated by All
Chung, the Chinese boxer. Chung's
delivery and willingness
to mix drew the crowd to him early.
The first round was Corbin's, but from
then on 1t was all All Chung.
Benny Mankin fought a three-round
draw with Kid Mann Aof New York.
Terry Miller easily defeated Billy
Fenton. One of the wrestling bouts
brought a revival Of the enmity be-
tween Young Muldoon and Young

Many Recruits.

Three years ago the Trapshooting
School on the Million Dollar Pier, At
lantic City, N. J., was an experiment
today It is q national institution.
There is no other such school in the
United States.
The war has had a great effect on
trapshooting. 1t has popularized IT
wonderfully. The success of our troops
In France with the trench gun" in q
great measure accounts for the pro-
nounced impetus of popular interest.
This interest is manifest at the At
lantic City Trapshooting School, for at
this school instruction is given to all
those who desire to learn to shoot
without expense to the learner. once
trapshootfng on the pier was a novelty
now 1t is q serious pastime. Once
hundreds of persons went to school
to watch others shoot-now they goi
they themselves want to shoot.
Nineteen hundred and two persons
-1.605 men and 297 women-who
never before handled q gun, have
been given instruction in shooting this
summer, to August 1. At the same
time last year the novices instructed
numbered 1896. These figures show
the trend of public opinion toward
trapshooting.
Learn to Shoot.
It is the number of novices taking
up, the sport that the increase in ifis
terest can be judged. There was o
time when every American could
shoot-and shoot straight. Then came
times of peace. Every one figured
there would never be another war with
America as a participant, and the
country at large settled down TO bust.
ness-and a great many persons ne
elected t learn to shoot" Now the
idea prevails hat every n should
learn to shoot, and hundreds of people
are being added to the roster of the
gun clubs throughout the country and
are putting in hours learning the in
tricate things of the art of shooting.

word from Chicago that he has de-

a period up to the time the Hurley
boxing law went into effect. Wrest-
against the fstic sport. Christensen
showed by his proves that he classes
with the leading wrestlers in the
world. He was among the top-notch-
ers at the international wrestling
tournament conducted in New York
by Jack Curley.
When Christensen dropped from

sons and toe holds. Put the contrary
seems to be the case, judging from
Harold's letter which follows:
Just a few lines to let you know
that I am in the Windy City and feel

gymnasium and every afternoon 1 am
swimming a couple of miles in the big
