Some High-class Trapshootins Performers.

If you have never given a thought
as to the number of major league base
ball players who handle shotgun
equally as well as bat and ball, now
ls the time to do so.
Trapshooting is sport that appeals
to the intelligent baseball player. 1t
is sport that relieves the tension and
brushes away the cobwebs. Is is i'm
possible to be successful at the traps
unless one forgets everything else, and
puts his mind strictly upon what he is
doing.
Baseball and trapshooting have
much in common. To succeed in either
1t is necessary to be mentally alert,
to have keen eyes, and to always have
your wits about you. The keenest ball
players as rule make the best clay
target breakers.
Just as soon as the gates are locked
on the ball parks the great majority of
the ball players bring out the fowling
piece, and after oiling it up and giving
It the once over they spend few days
In the fields. After that they devote
IQ6Ir ulOLu6uIS uuLII Tie GILL III tic
spring to shooting at the inanimate
clays.
Bender a Hieh-Class Performer.
/. Charles Albert (Chief) Bender is
possibly the best of the trapshooting
ball players. During the off season
Bender shoots on the Pennsylvania
railroad team in the Philadelphia Trap
shooters league, and with the Biedle-
man club of Camden, N. J. Bender is
the only shooter who has broken fifty
straight twice in the league series,
and his average is about the best in
the league.
Joe Bush, the Red Sox hurler, is an
other who shoots in the Philadelphia
Trapshooters' league matches and at
the Biedleman club. In previous years
Bob Shawkey, the Yankee pitcher, and
Grover Cleveland Alexander, the pitch
ing ace of the National league, did
lot of shooting at the Biedleman club.
While they were members of the

season most of, the Phils visited Dugey
ar1 helped him gather in the game
about Pittsburgh, Tex.
Mathewson Is Booster.
Christy Mathewson, assistant man
ager of the Giants, is a great booster
for the trapgun sport. Matty was one
ed the country several years ago CIV
ing trapshooting exhibitions, and this
tour made Mathewson a firm exponent
of the sport. The other three on this
tour were Chief Bender, Harry Davis
of the Athletics and Otis Crandall, the
pitcher.
Joe Jackson, Tyrus Cobb and Iris
Speaker. wonderful outield, are all
high-class shooters Cobb is associated
with several others in game pre-
serve in Georgia, where he does lot
of shooting.
Frank Baker, he of home-run fame,
and Charley Herzog, the firebrand, do
a lot of shooting on the eastern shore
of Maryland, and every fall Jack Dunn
and Eddie Collins form a party that
beats the brush for game.
Stars Are Devotees.
Walter Johnson, "Gabby" Cravath,
Clyde Milan, Carl Mays, Bert Shotten,
Hube Leonard, Jake Daubert, Jack
Coombs, Pat Moran and host of 9TH
ers who are stars are devotees Of the
traps.
Fred Clarke, the former manager of
the Pittsburgh Pirates seldom misses
trapshooting tournament in Kansas.
He shot at 1000 targets in registered
competition last year and averaged
.S070. George Cuppy, the former Cleve-
land pitcher, now living at Elkhart,
Ind, shot at 1900 targets last year and
averaged 1926. Herman Bronkie, for
merly the Indianapolis infielder, av-
eraged .70S3 on 205 registered targets
in 1918. Sam Lever and Deacon Phil

two high-class shots.
