the midwinter trapshooting tournament

felt to be the excessively high cost Of
ammunition. targets and other trapshoot-
ing accessories.
c. Ford Sealey of Baltimore, Md. was
elected permanent secretary and was
authorized to take such steps as he saw
fit to obtain a sounder financial basis
for participation in the sport. He was
instructed:
/. To get in touch with gun clubs and
shooters OF the United States with a
view to cooperation in the effort to re-
duce the costs of targets and ammuni-
ton.
2. To take as his first step in the re-
duction the purchase from the Govern
ment of several million dollars worth Of
shells and targets which were bought for
war purposes and are now ready for
release.
3. To obtain from the gun clubs and
trapshooters agreements to purchase
through the secretary all shells and tar
gets which they use for a period of five
or ten years.
4. II necessary, to build a shell and
target factory. for the backing of which
those present pledged their support.
5. To seek legal advice to determin e
whether the muntion companies were
not acting in restraint of trade in their
adherence to an alleged agreement to
keep prices at their present level for
another year.
c. c. Newman of Indiana reported
that the gun club of which he is a men,
Der had purchased shells from the Gov
ernment at $23 a case of 1000, and had
found them to be extremely satisfactory.
This figure Is nearly one-half the present
market price.
Several OF those present spoke of the
present high cost. pointing out that the
prices of almost all other commodities.
including paper, brass, copper and lead
had dropped, while the price Of shells
remained at the maximum figure to
which II had attained during the war.
Trapshooters from thirty-two States

the other paraphernalia of regular
fight, even without purse, the bout
must remain unofficial.
The difference between the two
heavyweights is said to have arisen
at the international football game be-
tween England and Wales last Satur-
day week when Beckett objected TO
an article written by Burns describing
the recent fight between Beckett and
Frank Moran. Beckett is said to have
resented the suggestion that he was
afraid OF Moran's famous MARY
Ann" punch and that ne went down
before the vacuum OF the blow.
AS the story goes, Beckett, and
Burns met few days later in hotel
In Leeds. when Burns offered to shake
hands. Beckett, however refused to
accept the proffered hand OF the
former worlds champion, words
passed between them and both left the
scene in a rage. When the pair met
later up stairs more hot words were
passed. Beckett becoming furious with
rage. Burns stood his ground. then
blows were struck.
For time the battle ragged fast and
furious. 1t is stated by those who
happened to witness the fray that
Burns knocked Beckett down. With
his collar and shirt torn and bespat-
tered with blood. so the story goes,
Joe jumped to his feet and went into
Burns, fighting harder than ever he
did in Albert Hall. Then friends
rushed between the heavyweights and
the fight was stopped. The men were
prevailed on finally to shake hands
and later In the evening they had

A second after the final whistle had
blown the ball was netted by New
York for the fifth time. but the extra
point was dsallowed by the referee.
All In all 1t was the worst showing
of the season made by the Eries. Clearly
the Jerseymen were below form yester-
day, but New York's football was gilt

would have landed the club cup win

SQUASH FAVORITE
MAKES FINE START
Thomas r. Coward Scores Two
Love Games in Class b
Championship.
BY SAMUEL J. BRooKMAN.

Thomas r. Coward of the Yale Club.
favored to win the title. came through
without the loss of a point in his OPEN
ing match Of the national class b
squash championship at the Squash
Club yesterday. In b. r. Whitlock OF
the Columbia Club Coward had COM
paratively easy opponent to begin with.
Nevertheless the contest afforded the
Yale man an opportunity OF exhibiting
his skill both on defence and attack,
and the conviction was stronger than
ever after the match that he will be
hard to beat for the title.
On the comparative record of the two
players nobody expected a close con-
test, but few were prepared to find
Whitlock unable to make any headway
at all. Coward did not cali on anything
like his customary speed, but his clever
placing, change of pace and bewilder-
ing stroke assortment had the Columbia
man all at sea from the start. On the
few occasions when Whitlock had the
service Coward's well nigh perfect con-
troll forced him hand OUT in a hurry.
The Yale man made his points in groups
of four and Ave. and ended the match
In less than twenty minutes. The tour
nament favorite may look for much
sterner opposition to-day. however
when he faces w. A. Kirnbel, club
mate of Whitlock's
Half dozen matches in the second
round yesterday brought the tourna-
ment down to half Of the original en-
try. Yale Club and Columbia Club
each have seven representatives still
