PACIFIC COAST
ISSUES DEFY IN
TRAPSHOOTTNG
Claiming That Troeh, Beaten
by Heer, Is Best, Demands
Another Tourney

That Frank NJ. Troch, of Vancou-
YER, Wash, is the best tr0pshooter in
the land, Notwithstanding his defeat
by Billy Heer. is the opinion of the
trapshooting fraternity along the Pa
cific coast.
Troch and Heer, it will be remem-
bered, shot a 500-target match last
June as the feature event of the
Northwest Sportsmen's Association
tournament at Seattle, Wash. Heer
won by four targets and his hackers
gathered in q bushel of Liberty
Bonds.
The sportsmen who backed Troch
believe that the rightful home of
those Liberty Bonds is on the west
coast. and they are confident that il
Troch is given another opportunity
he can bring them back to their
proper roosting place.
The Northwest Sportsmens Asso-
citation tournament this year will be
held under the auspices of the Port
land tOre.) Gun Club at Everding
Park, in May. and the feature event
once more will be a match between
Frank Troch and a trapshooter to
be decided by the country at large.
In due course Of time the North
west SportSmens Association will
issue a def in behalf of Troch, and
will at that time name the conditions
under which the match viii be shot
The idea at this time is to issue a
challenge to any shooter in the world
amateur or professionalism a
5OO-target event, spread over three
days. Instead of the two contestants
shooting. however, three other high
class amateurs shooters-the best
that can be procured-will be placed
in the squad, making five men at
the traps.
Last year Troch and Heer shot
alone.
There is a feeling that Troch is a
better shooter in a squad than he is
in a competition in which only two
are shooting. This may or may not
be true. but competition in which
only two are shooting better when
in a squad than when participating
in an individual match. Many shoot
ers are much better in squad shoot
ing than in individual match shoot
fng-and know some others who can
break more targets the faster they
shoot.
Anyway, the Northwest Sports
mems Association is going at the
event early enough to get number
of stars on the heels of Troch before
the snow gets off the ground.

Maroons Will not meet the Red
Roses, but patrons will have a
chance to see the Marsh Run Army
Reservation team in action. 1t all
happened this way:
After dilly-dallying around for
several years, Lancaster High School
finally got together five players to
represent the institution in the cage.
That was before they knew Tech
had been making athletic history
Now they seem to be looking for an
excuse to get out of the league, or
at least to keep from playing Tech,
so~fffey dropped Percy Grubb several
kilograms and night letters debating
terms and refusing to play if one
Carl Beck was in the same cage. The
read one of these yellow letters they
sent this way would lead one to think
Lancaster owned the league. and
that the league would just simply
bust" without them.
Well, to make this story short
Beck has ceased playing with the In
dependents and has donned the Ma
room. The case was placed bcrore
the executive committee of the P. I.
A. A, and that body decided that
playing on two teams by members of
the league must stop at once. And
that players who discontinue playing
will be in good standing in the
league. Miller, of Lebanon. has been
doing the same as Beck in playing
with the Lebanon Professionals. Just

7 roL>s in the old Cleveland Athletic
| Club on the night OF the battle, and
the ringside laughed at him.
Cans smiled slyly as he looked
across the ring at the lanky light
weight, but the smile left the faces
| of the 5000 men in the arena be-
! fore the first round was half finished.
Grim wrinkles replaced Cans con-
fident smile. too, for the lanky freak
was slashing the dusky dancer at
! will and made Joe look bad as n
! champion.
Those who had backed Cans soon
were aware of the fact that they had
moderated the white mans ability
and punching power.
Made Cans Weep
The second round was one of the
blackest that Cans ever weathered
in his career. From the tap of the
gong Garrard tore into Cans drove
him about the ring and punched him
$50 hard that tears came to Joe's
eyes.
In the last minute of the second
round Cans went into clinch in the
middle of the ring to save himself
from thesevere punishment, and
when they broke away Garrard,
swinging a terrific left to Cans jaw,
sent the champion to the floor.
Garrard thought he was the new
champion and turned away to his
corner.
The crowd stood up and started to
move toward the exits as the referee
counted up to nine, but Cans man.
aged to get to his feet, and as he
stood there dazed the bell saved
him.
Cans was revived in his corner,
and after this fought the most eau
tious fight of his life.
In the twelfth round Cans cut
open some old scars over Garrard's
eyes which bled profusely, and the
latter was nearly blind in the fif-
teenth, but was standing Cans off
when the chief of police ordered the
fight stopped.
Many Chicagoans who saw Cans
fight Garrard and later battle Nell
son 40 rounds, declare that Cans
was more frightened and fought
more cautiously against Garrard
than he did when he beat the Dur
able Dane.
Many efforts were made after this
to rematch Cans for another cham
pionship battle with Garrard, but
the dusky fighter always SHE'D clear
of the freak lightweight who maui
ed him so unmercifuily right up to
the fifteenth round.
Cans has fought his last fight, but
Garrard, his old opponent, looks as
healthy and sturdy as ever, and be-
sides being a steady-going letter
carrier he is able to act we'll the
part of peacemaker when ever
called on.

1T looks like both the National and

will mean that all the teams, except
