ASSOCIATION FIXES
NEW JOINT CONTROL
OVER TRAPsHO0HNC
Amateur Representation to
Form Half Of Supervisory
Board-Four Cities Bid for
Grand American Handicap.

A joint commission of ten members
is to supervise organized trap shooting
in the United States and Canada, 1t
was decided last week at the annual
meeting of the American Trapshoot-
ing association. 1t will be made UP OF
ten members, five of whom will rep
resent the amateur associations, tho
other five being the executive commit
Zee of the American association itself.
rhe committee is to meet in New York
and formulate plans for the coming
year.
One chief concern is the Grand Amer
lean Handicap shoot. For the last
three years this has been held at the
South Shore Country Club in Chicago.
1t is said that ideal facilities are af-
forded there, and that for many reasons
it is a desirable place for the event.
But other cities are making bids for 1t,
and disinterested boosters see some
advantage in moving the competition
about year by year.
Toledo Cleveland and Atlantic City
are the three leading candidates II the
move is made Toledo offers site on
the lake front, right where the Will
lard Dempsey championship boxing
bout was held. AS many as 30 traps
can be installed there. Cleveland has
a new municipal gun club, with the
grounds twenty minutes from the heart
of the citv, and can set up ten traps.
Atlantic City has had many, shooting
events and wants to have the Grand
American also.
So that trapshooting will not become
sectional and that its prestige may be
made and kept nation wide, there are
many who urge the holding of the big
annual event in a different city each
year.

DEMPSEY STANDS CHANCE OF BEING IDLE CHAMPION
FOR OVER YEAR
Rv n. r.. BROWN

The fistic world Is interested in the
recent announcement that Jack kearns,
manager of Jack Dempsey has agreed
to let Dempsey battle Joe Beckett. the
English heavy champ, at New Orleans
March II.
The aforesaid fandom isn't interested
SO much in the probable outcome of the
battle as 1t Is in the probabilities of
Jack Dempsey getting into the ring
with someone.
Let it be noted here that this little
| discussion isn't a slam at Dempsey
either. Having seen jacques play forty
kinds of tattoes on Jess Wizards frame
! I'm of the opinion that the first man
| who does enter the ring with him will
1 be lucky to escape with his life.
! Now, let's proceed.
| II the bout planned by Dominick Tor
torich goes through, Dempsey Will be
( fighting after lapse OF eight months
But, should this bout fail to materialize,
after considerable waiting and dicker-
ing, IL Is unlikely that the Giant Killer
will step into championship contest
within less than year Of his last ap-
pearance.
The bout, planned for st. Patrick's
day, is in the embryo state. Kearns
has agreed to let Jack box for $125, 900.
Beckett has not been approached re-
garding the bout. Kearns has said the
match hinges mainly on whether
Beckett defeats Carpenter French
champ, when they meet in December.
I That bout hasn't been decided as yet.
The length of the Dempsey Beckett
bout hasn't been dctermined-a ques-
ton that always raises snags. State
officials haven't o.k.'d any such bout.
All Of which means that the bout is
far from being staged.
Now. as to the effect of what will
occur in event It fizzles--the year lay
off for Jack.
! Dempsey Is youngster. He was In
| perfect physical condition when he
knocked Willard cold. His daily box
ing exhibitions probably have kent him
lin fair shape since-but not hardened.
A battle after years layoff will call
for a thorough siege in the training
camp. Dempsey will have no desire to
go into his first battle in ANYTHING
lshort of perfect condition. CONSEQUENT
lly he will count on a good training
grind. But this move and the fact
that he hasn't boxed for a year will
give his opponent tremendous psy-

made an outright refusal TO send his
entrance to the championship tourna-

championship until a single competitor
takes it away from him as they do such

NOT NEAR AS MANY
SHUTOUT GAMES AS
IN EARLIER SEASONS

In the last big league baseball season
which ended last month in blaze of
Reds, as Ike Sanborn says, there was
just an even hundred games In the Ma
tional league and 81 in the American,
which ended in shutout scores. Last
year, though the schedule was cur
tailed by one month on account of war
games PLAYED in the majors. In 1917,
when the schedule called for 1874 games
251 blanks were challSed up.
The dopesters who look back further
will find thai the records of former
years shows a much larger number of
goose egg games. And the query Is
suggested how Is this thus, after all
that has been said about the wizardry
of the modern day pitchers.

BUTTERFLY DECIDED
GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP

Mike Brady would have won the open
golf championship instead of Walter
Hagen except for an inquisitive but
terfly. At any rate, that's what Grant
land Rice says. Brady had an 1S-incf
putt at the fourth hole ON the last
round. AS he started the club forward
a butterfly alighted on the ball. He
stopped and tried again. A second
time the insect. after cireling, stepped
on the ball. That worried and fused
Brady and spoiled his putt. Hager
tied him, won the playoff, and Brady
lost his chance at the title.
