TRAPSHOOTING
AT NEW YORK
Gotham Will Put 1t on the
Map For Fair With
Victory Week

Peter b. Carney and Tom Marshall,
the prophets of trapshooting must
know something" as the saying
goes. Each, with his own style and
arguments. has striven for years to
make trapshooting nation wide, and
news, sent specially to the Telegraph
from Gotham to-day proves that this
sport is rapidly assuming national
favor. The message informs:
The trapshooters of New York State
have set aside the week of April 2S
as Victory Week, with two big tour
naments at Travers Island as the at
traction and celebration. Beginning
on Monday the 2Sth. and lasting four
days, will be held the New York Ste te
Trapshooting Tournament, when the
New York State champion will be
decided. The following two DAYS.
Friday and Saturday, will be given
over to the annual amateur cham
plonship at clay targets, which is
open to the world.
Ralph Il. SPOTS, president of the
New York State Sportsmens Asso-
clatlon, is conndent that the COM
bined events will draw the biggest
field of shooters of any tournament of
the season, only excepting the Grand
American, which is visited annually
by seven or eight hundred cotest-
ants. He bases his prediction on the
attractiveness of a full weeks shoot
ing over the Travers Island traps,
the opportunity afforded shooters
from all parts of the country to visit
New York. and on the program of the
shoot itself.
The program is not yet out, but
Mr.. SPOTS says that it contains many
attractive and novel features. For
one thing the prizes and trophies
Will have cash value of more than
$5,000 and they will be divided among
four classes. This assures all shoot
ers fair run for their money, as
they will be pitted against men of
their own ability as target busters.

 Paid Her Own Expenses
 ''She, like myself, hesitated to spend the money, for she knew it would handicap her in state visitation, and she felt the need of this, as club spirit throughout the state was plainly lack ing. At the last minute, when she found we would be absolutely without representation. for the honor of Ari- zona, she made the trip. But it was a sacrifice, for she met her entire eX- pense from her personal funds.
 This condition fired her with the determination to get behind this fund, that succeeding presidents might not be thus financially embarrassed. In leading and directing the club work in this vast and thinly populated state there are plenty of problems to be met and overcome without this addition of deplorable lack of money for the presidents use.

WOMAN 5C[Ub5 NUT KEEPING UP
 WITH THE STATE
Former President of Feder- ation in Address at Yuma Convention Deplores the
 Lack of Travelling Fund

Declaring that the woman's club movement in this state is hampered by the fact that the presidents travel ing fund has not been raised, Mrs. Henry D. Ross, former president of the state federation of clubs. at the annual federation convention at Yuma yesterday advocated support of the fund. Mrs. Ross reminded the club women that Arizona is one of the largest states in area.
 This state is rapidly going forward in wealth and population, but the club movement is not keeping pace with this development" said Mrs. Ross. There are in this state at least TO towns where there is not a woman's club, about 27 towns with clubs. This condition exists largely because We have never had fund for our presi- dents use. Every retiring president has deplored and testified to this. There is nothing that takes the place of the personal visit. The inspiration of an outside presence is inexpressible in the narrow life of the small, isolat- ed villages. Unless the message is taken to our women, there are many localities in which they will never get it.'
 Should Aid Others
 Mrs. Ross outlined the plan to raise a state fund of s5,000, which was adopted by the federation, but which has never been raised.
 Tt seems to me that we should not sit back contented and happy in ouI 1 own clubs, while other women in oul state are lacking this blessing" sait | the speaker.
