Al WINS of Red Bank, a member
Of the Perth Amboy Gun Club, won
the Eastern Zone Handicap cham
pionship in a shoot staged under the

ing Association of America in New
York City on Saturday afternoon.
WINS broke 81 targets out Of a
possible 100 from the % yard mark
and II. 3. Knight of the New York

IS e former winner OF the Grand
American Handicap and has particle
pated in shooting events on the local
range on several occasions.
Saturdays shoot was the first an
nual event Of the Eastern Zone Of
the recently formed Amateur Trap
shooting Association of America. In
the morning the Eastern Zone class
Championship was shot for and DR..
II. j. Thielman, with a card of SO,

ANOTHER BOUT
IS TALKED Of
Willard May Meet Firpo to
Decide Opponent for
Dempsey

Luis, Firpo, Argentine Republic
heavyweight and Jess Willard, for
mel heavyweight champion of the
world, were su 'essful in their bouts
at the Yankee stadium on Saturday
at the expense of Jack McAuliffe,
the second, and Floyd Johnson, re-
~spectively.
The outcome of these contests was
just as expected although Willard to
have a chance with Dempsey should
have put his opponent away in faster
time. Fred Fulton, who lost on a
foul to Jack Renault on Saturday,
won from johnson in a bout in this
state not many weeks ago.
Dempsey is scheduled 70 a contest
with Tom Gibbons in the west and
1t is probable that Tex Richard will
match Firpo and Willard for an open
air show in the east within the rext
two months. The winner probably
then will be matched with the pres
ent champion.
Harry Wills, the colored heavy
weight, a battler who car readily be
declared n of the best in his class
today, evidently is TO- gotten as far as
a bout with Champion Dempsey is
concerned. 1t would be we'll TO match
the winner of the Firpo-Willard bout
with the negro before the champion
ship bout is put on.
That there is interest in the pres
ent doings in the heavyweight divi-
sion is shown by the turnout on
Saturday.
