TRAPSHOOTINC
 NEWSy NOTES
ByPETER R. CARNEY.

Captain Thomas K. Lee, of Birm- ingham, Ala, who by his expertness with the rifle, revolver and pistol ac- quired the nickname of 'Tackhole, is doing a lot of trapshooting this year. and he has visions of winning the Alabama State title. and repre- senttng that State in the national amateur championship.
 Lee never shot at the traps before last year, and then he was runner up in the State titular event. Since then he has given trapshooting a lot of attention, so much that he put a peep sight on his shotgun. If the peep sight is good for rifle shooting 1t should be good for trapshooting. thought Lee. Others smiled, but Lee tried out the sight, and on the 500 targets he has shot at this season he has averaged 47 per cent. If the peep sight is a detriment. the average doesn't show 1t. Anyway. a victory for "Tackhole'' will cause no end of comment in shooting circles.
 Jess willard. the heavyweight box CT, thoroughly enjoys trapshooting. .and 1t was one Of his favortte diver Dempsey. He had a trap erected on Maumee Bay. and shot at targets thrown over tho water,

Bay State Short Ship Horses
 Coming Along In Sensational
 Fashion During Lasa 10 Days
Shoppers Move Fast and Circuit Wins Prestige-News of the Horses and HOrSemen.

The Bay State Circuit is going along very smoothly and there is every reason to predict that the pres ent will be the best season in the his tory of that association. The fact that it takes a right good trotter or pacer to win over the half-miIe tracks con tinues to be forcibly brought home to those racing over this circuit. This was shown at Springfield last week and likely will be still more apparent before the season closes.
 This week the Bay State horses will race at Northampton, July 15-1S. The entry list is an excellent one and the meeting should Joe one of the best. The horses go from Northampton to Greenfield, then go to Worcester and sfrom their to Readville.
 The latter meeting is scheduled for the first week in August and will bring together some fine fields of trotters and racers and is sure to stir up interest in the Grand Circuit horses which are to have their turn over the famous race course. w. J. McDonald's fast trotter, NorthSDur, by Srn Francisco, 2:07 A :, is taking very well to the matinee game. He trotted a fine race at Will mington.

Metropolitan Champion Has Played Splendidly So Far Other News and Comment About LinkSmen.

When the time arrives to pick out the outstanding figures in sports of all kinds for the current year, the name of Walter c. Hagen, Oakland Hills golf professional, will take a place quite close to the top.
 Hagen is surely the reigning mon- arch of the links by a. number or city blocks.
