declared themselves to be glad that
they could be home, and declared they

SPORT BACK ON MAP HERE STUNTS FOR HILL LEAGUE TONIGHT
Clean Sport Back on

the final fall with full body lock
it may be mentioned here, that quite
a number of the fair sex saw this
typical rugged American exhibition
of strength and skill, was given an
ovation only second to the other.
He aims to be here on Saturday, night
show.
Draak, surprised and dazed to
find himself beaten just when vic
tory seemed within his grasp, also
wanted to have something to say.
Rising, he told the crowd
II acknowledge my defeat, and by
a good man. l have no excuse to
offer except that l am surprised,
for 1 believed l would win tonight.
All 1 ask is that 1 may have another
chance at DIR. Roller"
The match was made imme-
diately for June 3, here in Harris
burg. DR.. Roller gave the most ex-
traordinary illustration of what it
means to keep fit. He tackled the
younger man for a second bout af-
ter only ten minutes rest. In exact
ly eleven minutes Draak downed
Roller with a full body scissors and
arm lock. 1t then appeared as
though the youth and strength of
Draak were more than equal to the
age, experience and cleverness of
Roller for the doctor appeared to
be wearing away under the strain.
Many predicted that it would not
take Draak ten minutes more to gain
the third and deciding fall, but such
was not to be the case. The two
wrestlers tore at each other for the
third fall like enormous agile tigers,
Draak gained a terrible grip on the
doctors head, but the supple physi-
clan turned on his back with Draak's
head directly beneath him and drop
ped. The Belgian wrestler's >shoul-
ders smacked the floor and his head
was nearly crushed by the fall. He
lay stunned and Referee Baumann
wrestling gave Max Baumann, the
finest credentials possible. When
this young man advertises a wrest-
ling match in Harrisburg" he as
sured. you man be sure it will be
on the level. I have known him
since he was knee-high, and he has
never disappointed"
In the preliminary match last
night Ed Fair gained one falh
over julius Kamsky before time was
upa Both lads are Tech athletes and
show promise of becoming good
local grapplers. Fair won with an
arm lock and body scissors.

The Harrisburg Sportsmen's AS
sociation is right in line, holding its
weekly contests. with a nationwide
campaign. under the management
of that indefatigable promoter, Peter
+. Carney, of the National Sports
syndicate, who announced his plan
as follows:
A systematic reorganization of the
sport of trapshooting will be ac-
complished by a careful survey of
the units that go to make up the
national organization - first, the
State associations; second. the
leagues and clubs, and, third, the
individual shooters.
There are 46 associations in the
United States and one in the Eastern
section of Canada. Some of these
associations are always active; quite
number are active once a year and
several are dead. A great majority
if not all of the inactive associations
can be made active by a little inten-
sive effort, and the chances are that
the dead association can be revived
also.
The American Trapshooting Asso-
citation has enlisted the assistance of
the professional shooters in waking
up the State organizations. Under
the new plans a State ASSOCIATE ton
will be more than an organization
which will conduct the State cham
pionship trapshooting tournament
and o X the tournament applica-
tions from the gun clubs. These
things are essential, but a State as
sociation can do and should do
much more.
Send Delegate to National Body
This wear each State association
has the privilege of sending dele
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-05-21
DRIVE TO WAKE UP ALL
TRAPSHOOTING UNITS

gate to the annual meeting of the
American Trap Shooting Association
which will be held in New York in
November. These delegates will
have voice and vote in the affairs
of the sport directly concerning
them. Theferore, they should rep
resent the trapshooters of their re-
spective states, and in order that
these delegates represent all the
shooters, it is necessary for every
club to become affiliated with its
State association. In union there is
strength.
1t is perfectly obvious that there
is no incentive for a club joining an
association that is not active-or,
plainly speaking, only half alive.
Consequently, the first step in the
reorganization of the sport will be
to establish on an active basis each
one of the State associations. When
the State associations are active then
the campaign for activity will be
started on the clubs.
This looks as if the association
was starting at the top and working
down, but that is the plan. 1t seems
more logical that if the clubs were
made active that it would be easier
to get an active State organization
Right along these lines we might
add that in the first three months of
this year SS new gun clubs saw the
light of day and 81 gun clubs that
were inactive during the war again
