The location of the 1920 Grand
American Handicap will not be de-
cided until November. at which time
there will be a meeting of the Amer
lean Trapshooting association. AS
regards the Preliminary Handicap,
would suggest that you write StOney
McLinn, secretary manager OF the
association, 400 Fourth avenue. New
York city. While there were many
objections to the eliminating Of the
Preliminary, the G. A. II. Classifi-
cation competition was substituted
and seemed to give satisfaction. 1t
will repend upon what the amateurs
want in 1920, this in the main.
Question.
There has been considerable talk
about an individual race between
Frank Troeh, of Vancouver. Wash,
VS.. Mark Arie, of ThOmasboro. Ill.
Don't you think this would create
a very considerable interest in the
trapshooting sport2 They are the
two recognized champion amateurs.
Why not make il a series of three
races, one west, one east, the third
race 10 be staged in the middle
west, giving the clubs in the differ
ent cities a chance tc bid for the
contests

Young Murderer Loses His Nerve;
 Tries Suicide

Freehold, N. J., July 17.-Edward O'Brien, the youth held here for ex- tradition to New York, where he was indicted yesterday for the murder of Gardiner c. Hull, Manhattan sta tioner, was discovered shortly before midnight tearing his blankets and bedding and apparently tieing them into a rope. Jail officials believe he was planning to take his life by hang ing in the manner in which Dr. Wal ter Keene Wilkins, convicted of slay ing his wife, committed suicide in the Mineola jail.
 Guards entered O'Brien's cell and everything by which he could harm himself was taken away. A guard was then stationed outside the cell to prevent him from attempting sui eide.
 O'Brien has broken down, jail of- ficals say, and rapidly is losing the nerve and bravado whichcharacter- ized him when he made his confes- sions of the crime and told tales de- signed to stamp him as a "bad man. He recanted last night his declara- tion that he killed Mrs. Wilkins.
