CHAMPIONS MADE BY
COME BACK ABILITY

Being a champion consists largely
in possessing the ability and the tenn
permanent to come from behind.
There have been hundreds of fine
horses on the track who could run like
a flash until they saw something out
of The corner of their eyes.
There are flocks of major league
baseball players who can hit like de-
mons with two down and none on
bases.
The big winners of all sports are
those who have the kick in the pinch.
Down at Delanco, N. J., where Lew
Tender was training for his fight with
Benny Leonard, someone told Tender
that Leonard had said that he had
been knocked down by every good
man he had ever fought.

When Gene Sarazen was piling up
what looked like the championship

"I'lI have to look out then, because

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The St.

ball hard, but succeed only in fatten-

Gutenberg out of business"
Honig built the Gloucester track in
New Jersey, and true to his threat,
eventually took so much business
away from Gutenberg that it closed
in bankruptcy. Meanwhile, Honig now
nicknamed THE King of Gloucester"
was adding to his vast fortune.
He controlled most of the booking
stalls-and owned most of the horses.
He counted his daily winnings in the
tens OF thousands. Fortune smiled
upon him with its most wondrous
smile
A legislature, hostile to racing, came
into power. The Gloucester track was
closed. That was the start of Honig's
misfortune. From that time on every
thing went wrong for him. His vast
fortune dwindled and when he died,
two years or SO ago, there was little or
nothing left of the millions he once

THRILLS in SHOOTING
AT DOUBLE TARGET
INTEREST SPECTATORS

Double target shooting has more
thrills for spectators than any other
style of smashing clay birds, and there
fore it is expected that the gallery on
the Absecon Boulevard, Atlantic City,
New Jersey, will be very large on
Tuesday, Sept. IL, the second day OF
the 1922 Grand American Clay Target
championships. On this day both the
amateur and professional champion
ships at double targets will be con-
tested.
Another feature event which is ex-
pected to interest the gallery is the
Junior Trapshooting championship.
In this event boys ranging in age from
ten to eighteen years will shoot at 100
single targets to determine which or
the youths is entitled to wear the trap
shooting crown.
Two Birds Sprung
In double target shooting, two clay
birds are sprung from the trap stimuli
taneously One flies to the right, the
other to the left, and the shooter is
permitted two shots, one at each OF
the targets. This style of shooting ap-
proximates more nearly than any other
the shooting at birds in the field. A
skilled performer can provide thrill
for the spectators every time he
shoots at a pair, for he must be con.
stantly on the alert to anticipate the
varying flight of the targets which
may be caused by wind conditions.
There are a number Of trapshooters
who, because of the difficulties sur.
rounding it, would rather win the
double target championship than any
other event on the Grand American
tournament program. At Atlantic
City the amateurs will be shooting al
a mark of SO out of 100. c. B. Platt
Bridgeton, New Jersey, holds this
record. The present holder of the
amateur double target championship
Il R. A. King of Delta, Colorado, who
smashed "a out of 100 at Chicago las
year. This year, for the first time
the double target race is at 100 pairs
or 200 targets. This makes it genu
inc test of skill and endurance. The
doubles will be shot in eight events
four of 10 pairs GO targets), and foul
of Is pairs go targets), alternating
The winner will receive the A. T. A
championship medal.
To Shoot at 100 Pairs
The professionals also will shoot a
100 pairs to determine the champion
in their division. Last year was tn
first for the professional double large
race, and the winner was Mark Arie
Champaign, ILL.,, who broke SO out o
100.
For the trapshooters who may no

Turfdom knows no romance beyond
Dan HONG and his SIS horse-the same
animal who started him upon his me-
teoric racing career.
HONG always was horse lover. His
greatest ambition was to own racer.
But through his earliest years he
never realized it, for race horses, even
the cheapest, were selling far beyond
Hopig's meagre means.
One afternoon Honig was attracted
to a horse auction in st. Louis, his
home town. He arrived at a time
when all the fancy horses had been
sold. Only a few seeming culls were
left. 1t was growing late, the crowd
had thinned out and the auctioneer
wanted to get home.
Quickly Sold
So he didn't bubble much over the
bids. Most of the NUTS" were sold
to the first bidder. In darkness they
trotted out the last horse of the lot

How much am l bid?" demanded
the auctioneer. No one spoke up
largely because no one wanted him.
But Honig did He waited until the
auctioneer failed to get any bids. Then
he said:

'Sold-for $5-yelled the auctioneer

him in his barn, where the animal
promptly proceeded to make HONG a
poorer man by his oat and hay glut
tony.

| that horse owning was too expensive
He decided to sell his black horse
But Honig's son, Peaches, as great a
lover of the race track as his father
asked permission to try him out in q

later the IS horse was entered in &

FAILURE OF NORWICH
is GREATEST UPSET
IN 1922 RACE CIRCLES
(Ry United Pressl

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y. Aug.
22.-The failure of Norwich, as three
year old, to continue the inVincible
form he displayed as a juvenile, is
considered by horsemen here to be
the greatest upset of the year in
thoroughbred horse racing.
Indicated as a two year old, the
Block colt was hailed this spring as
the successor of Man O'War as the
champion three year old. He was
eligible for the Kentucky derby and
he made good in that event, winning
easily over a field that was, however,
hardly rated as championship calibre.
Then Benjamin Block brought his
colt east and in his first start he was
beaten by Harry Payne Whitney's
Whiskaway, which since has been
sold to c.. W. Clark, the California
turf man. Norwich carried topweight
in that race and it was believed that
with the weights even he could win
| from Whiskaway. But not so. In the
Latonia special, at even weights,
Whiskaway again was an easy winner.
Yesterday, Norwich made his first
start since the Latonia event was pit
I ted against Surf Rider, Montford
Jones' gelding, which though ster-
| ling racer was not considered good
enough to win from Norwich. The
Block colt went to the barrier as odds
on favorite, he broke away to a good
lead and then, after traversing five
and a half furlongs of the seven fur
| long race, quit and Surf Rider won by
| five lengths.
| 1t is believed that Mr. Block will
not race Norwich again but will retire
him to the stud
