most striking features of clay tar
get shooting is that the number of
participants is usually greater than
| the number spectators, fact
which distinguishes the trap game
from other sports where the gal
lery'' is made up of hundreds and
even thousands of people watching
individual players or teams in ac-
ton. On the other hand, trap
shooting meet, with several hundred
shooters tOeing the mark, may draw
a gallery of less than one quarter
the number of shooters. Another
thing about trapshooting is that
more take part in sectional tourna-
ments than participate in meet of
any other sport of the entire list
Besides, clay target shooting is es-
sentially an amateur sport and not
a single one of the sanctioned tour
naments is for professionals.
The classic event in trapdom is
the Grand American Championship
and Handicap Tournament. an an
nual affair which has been staged
for twenty-eight years. This year
the August events are scheduled TO
occur at Vandalia, Ohio, near Day.
ton. The site is the permanent
home grounds of The Amateur
Trapshooting Association of Amer
lea. Daily programs of shooting
events occur for a whole week. Last |
years record of 873 entrants will
be exceeded.

 Garner contended that with the aid of independent republicans the tariff rider would be approved. and that the house democrats Mith the aid of western republicans could muster sufficient strength to pass it.
 Ut will then go to the White Mouse where" he predicted. Tt win receive . veto"
 Garner also said that he had ob- served press statements by Chair man Shoot of the senate finance committee that business conditions might not warrant a cut in revenue rates. Such statements. he added, do not indicate that republicans are preparing to pass tho tax bill.

 Senator Norris republican. Ne- braska, suggested a mere rule of the senate would not accomplish the purpose as 1t carried no penalty for failure to register. Senator Walsh replied that it provided that those who violated the provision could be hailed before the bar of the senate.
 "What we want is some means of finding out who forms this invisible government surrounding us," sena- tor Walsh said. He added that it was difficult to legislate on the sub- ject.
