TRAP SHOOTERS MEET.
American Association Is New
Name for Interstate Body.

NEW YORK, January 11.-Follow-
ing a meeting held here it is an
nounced that the Interstate Trap
shooting Association will be known
in the future as the American Trap
shooting Association, which will have
jurisdiction over all trapshooting
tournaments in this country and
Canada.
For nearly a quarter of a century
all of the principal shoots at live
birds and clay targets. including the
grand American handicap, were ar
ranged and governed by the Inter-
state Association.
In the future all the Canadian tour
naments will be privileged and as
sisted by contributions from the
American Trapshooting Association,
which will retain the old tourna-
ment policy of registration. The grand
American handicap at clay targets
will take place next August at the
South Shore Country Club, Chicago,
but none of the subsidiary sectional
events will be promoted this year. At
all of the state championship shoots
the conditions will call for 800 instead
of 100 targets as formerly, SO that
these events will be of two days du-
ration, at least
The association also intends to pro-
mote many service contests during
the present year, open to Army, Navy
and air service officers and men.

Old Man Coyote Leads Bow
ser Away.

Old Man Coyote is full of tricks
People with such clever wits as he
has usually are full of tricks Bow
ser the Hound. on the other hand
isn't tricky at all. He just goes
straight ahead with the thing he has
to do and does it in the most earnest
way. Not being tricky himself. he
sometimes forgets to watch out for
tricks in others.
When he started. off on the trail Of
Old Man Coyote that day when he
found Black Pussy a prisoner in the
tree in the Green Forest, he made up
his mind that he would run down
Old Man Coyote il he had, to run his
legs of to do it. He always makes
up his mind like that whenever he
starts out to hunt. You know there
is nothing in the world Bowser en-
joys quite so much as to hunt some
one who will give him a long, hard
! run. He will go without eating any
time for the pleasure of chasing Red
dy or Granny Fox or Old Man Coyote.
Now, Old Man Coyote was annoyed.
He was, and he wasn't afraid Of Bow
ser the Hound. That is to say, he
was afraid to fight Bowser. but he
wasn't afraid to be hunted by Bow
ser, because he was so sure that he
was smart enough to get away from
Bowser. II Bowser had appeared at
almost any other time Old Man Coyote
wouldn't have been so annoyed. But
to have him appear just when it look
ed as if he surely would be able to
catch Black Pussy made him angry
all the way through.
What business has that good for
nothing dog over here in the Green
| Forest. anyway? Id like to know" he
muttered as he ran swiftly through
the Green Forest. What right has
he to NEEDLE in other folks business
I'll just teach that fellow a lesson,
that's what I'll do. I'll teach him
that he can't interfere with me and
not be sorry for it.
So Old Man Coyote ran and ran and
never once did he try TO break his
trail In fact. he took pains to leave
trail that Bowser could follow cas-
/ lily. After him Bowser ran and ran
and ran, and all the time his great
voice rang out joyously. This was the
kind of a hunt he loved. Out of the
| Green Forest into the Old Pasture
Old Man Coyote led Bowser the
Hound Across the Old Pasture and

Wealthy Cincinnati People Want
to Keen Club in Local Hands.

CINCINNATI, January IA plan
of reorganization of the Cincinnati
National League base ball club is
being voted on today at a meeting of
the stockholders of the club.
1t was reported that wealthy and
influential Cincinnatians have con-
sented to take stock to insure the
club remaining in the hands of local
men.
The plan, it was said, is to retire
one-half of the common and preferred
stock and then offer new issue of
stock of the par value of 100000 to
be sold to the present stockholders
for SIPS, o00-that is. present stock
holders will have an opportunity of
subscribing to as much of the stock
as they care to take.
What stock remains will be taken
over by Cincnnatians in order to
make sure that no outsider comes in
and secures control of the club.
No election of directors will be held
until the new issue of stock has been
disposed of.

Very often an unusual situation is
created in ball game because some
one overlooked a trivial technically.
In base ball when player is substi-
tuted for another player. the umpire
is supposed to be Immediately noti-
fed of the intended change. Failure
to do that opens the way for discus
sion as to what shall be done with
the efforts of a PLAYER who enters the
game unannounced
The sporting editor of the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer recently turned
over to me the following query which
inspired the above statement:
"Will you please give us the right
dope on what ruling IS made by the
umpire when a substitute batter is
sent into the game? without the Of
fetal in charge being notified of the
change. Also whether. If the substl-
tute batter made safe hit, would 1t
count. IL said hit happened to yin
ruling Umpire Billy Evans would
make, if you can favor US"
am thankful for this query be-
cause it offers me the chance TO dls-
cuss a rather unusual play. Perhaps
you will say such a play could come
up only on the sandlots. as 1t evident
~ did in a game in Cleveland, but
you are wrong. as similar play once
came up in an American League
game. / was the umpire in an Amer1-
can League game in which fielder
was substituted without being an
nounced / didn't know thing about
the substitutes presence in the game,
until 1 saw him make a remarkable
catch.
Now for my ruling. If such play
came up in the American League
game in which 1 was the umpire
would rule the hit legal and If the hit
won the ball game. I would consider
the game over. The rules which gov
ern the substitution of player
without the umpire being notified
are far from specific. They conflict
somewhat. On this particular play
common sense and the spirit of fair
play must be the two factors on

WITH BILLY EVANS

which the umpire shall base his decl-
sion"
In the major league play l men
toned an American League cup was
trying out a lot of youngsters IN tne
late fall 1t was the first time the
umpire had seen any of them, ana
they all looked alike to him. Late IN
the game, with two on. the manager
took out one of the recruits ana sent
up another to take his place at bat.
He failed to notify the umpire. who
, hadn't the slightest idea who was do
ing the hitting. The substitute came
through with a double, scoring botn
runs. and those two runs decided the
game.
The attention of the manager of
the team in the field was then called
to the fact that the substitute who
had made the timely hit had entered
on his big league career unan-
nounced He demanded that the hit
was not legal, since the player who
made it was not actually in the game,
since the rules say the umpire must
first be notified of the change. AT
first he wanted the substitutes hit
declared void. and the proper bats
man ruled out since he regarded the
substitute as the improper batsman.
The umpire refused to see that argu-
ment for a minute, declaring that II
the player was never in the game it
was impossible for him to be an i'm
proper batsman.
In my case in a game at Philadel-
phia Ranny Murphy was sent into
right field to replace Topsy Hartsel.
No one notified me of the change. In
fact, two men had been retired before
1 realized Murphy was in right field,
His brilliant catch of a fly ball called
my attention to him. I allowed the
catch. One rule says failure to notify
the umpire of change is punishable
by fine of IS. That is all right for
leagues, but can't be enforced in
other games. The other rule says a
player substitute shall become active
ly engaged in the game only when
the umpire is so notified. Major
league umpires rave when they are
not notified of a change. but always
permit any effort of the substitute in
the field or at the bat to stand, his
coming merely eliminating the player
from the lineup for whom he substi-
tuted.
