SIX TITLES STAKED
IN OPENING SHOOT
500 Traps Artists Scatter
Four Tons of Lead at
VandaIia Today.
BY the Associated Press.

Y yANDALIA, Ohio, August "a
" More than 500 of Americas
" shotgun artists competed in
six national championship
events today to launch officially the
thirty-seventh grand American trap
shoot program.
Up for decision today were the pro-
fessional championship, the junior and
subjunior titles, the veterans laureis
for shooters who have passed 10, the
husband-and-wife event and the
champion of champions, in which the
State titleholders battle.
Blast Four Tons Of Lead.
THE quarter-mile area in front of
the traps was due for a real bar
rage. With most marksmen firing 200
times and some practice rounds added,
total of 100000 targets will be
thrown, 10000 shells costing a total of
$4,000 fired, and almost four tons Of
lead blasted at the flying clays.
Homer Clark, ir.. Of Alton, Ill. is the
defending junior champ. as the result
of breaking 80 of 100 a year ago, while
Otto Kiehl of Pittsburg. Kans., did
the same in taking the subjunior event
for youths under Is.
Young Is Aged Star.
CHARLES SPARROW YOUNG,
grand old man of the traps from
Springfield, Ohio. who broke 100 in a
row from the 23-yard-line to win the
Grand American Handicap, the Friday
headline event. in 1926. is the defend
ing veterans champion. He broke 1876
of 200 in 1885, to take the prize, al
though he is nearly 80 years old.
Young broke 1874 of 200 yesterday in
the preliminary open championship
and looms as the one to beat in the
"old age" race. He's the Ohio State
champion and also competes today in
the champion of champions event.
The 1885 "husband-and-wife" title
went to Mr.. and Mrs. j. Sanders of
Keyser, w. Va, with score of 1872 OF
400, Mrs. Sanders getting 1872 of 200
and her husband 100.

! IN LAST IS GAMES
Cecil Also Plays Corking
Defense as Athletics Are
Beaten Twice.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.


THE intriguing and yet comph-
Gated problem of what to do
with Cecil Travis was up for
L paramount consideration again
today Is the Nationals, possessing a
fifth straight series victory. prepared
to open their final long home stand
Of the season.
Once more, looking ahead hope
fully to q garrison finish and trying
to find his best combination, Bucky
Harris finds himself in a quandary.
When Travis wasn't hitting, you see,
he presented no grave problem, SIM
ply because his fielding doesn't. rate
him q regular job. He must hit to
justify his presence in the lineup.
Now, in a manner that is bringing
q broad smile to Harris face, Cecil Is
banging the ball again. The young
ster who hit 319 in 1934-his first full
season in the majors-and .317 last
season, promises to wind up the cur
rent campaign with mark equally
as good. With rush he has pulled
his average from well below 800 to
well above the mark.
In Philadelphia, from where the
Nationals emerged yesterday with
three wins in five. games, Travis
crashed the lineup as a shortstop,
relieving Ossie Bluege during one of
the double -headers. He continued his
sensational hitting and performed so
well afield that Bucky left him there
and alternated Bluege and Red Kress.
For the remainder of the series Travis
did nothing to endanger his holding of
the post.

A CCORDING to latest Interna-

Dee Miles, the young in-again-out-
again -Finnegan Of the Washington
club. is hitting 1854 for Albany. This
places Miles fifth among a circuit of
sluggers and therein provides another
banning case. Three times he has
been up for trials with the Griffmen
and thrice he has been sent back.
Miles seems to be pursued by q
measure Of Ill fortune that Is O load
for even youthful ambition to carry.
When he was brought up
from Chattanooga last year his
trial in the outfield was cut
short when Cecil Travis was put
In the pasture.
Last Spring Bucky Harris chose to
capitalize on Carl Reynolds reputa-
ton as an early-season hitter and
opened with the veteran In right
field.
Miles was sent away in midseason,
and last month when the Griffs were
going poorly he was recalled for
thorough trial." 1t lasted two days.
Miles failed to impress at bat and
Reynolds was sent back. A few days
later Dee again was shipped to
Albany.
A 1854 hitter in the Inter-
national League Is not to be
taken lightly. He b almost .

Babe Dahlgren, whom the Red Sox
are reported ready to bring back. is
hitting .325. Bob Seeds, bought by
the Yanks the other day to MI Myril

Rumor Championship.
THIS last Olympic holds the rumor
championship for all time. One
report that picked up wide circula-
ton was that Negro members of the
American team we're not allowed in
the opening parade. Another was
that Lawson Robertson. head coach
of the American team, was ordered by
Adolf Hitler to leave Stoller off the
American team because of his Jewish
ancestry.
1t so happens that the two men
rushed in at the last moment were
Owens and Metcalfe, who were not
originally scheduled to run. Later
on many believed Robertson left
Stoller OF to make bigger hit with
the Germans. AS Robertson explained
later, II picked the team knew could
win-the team that might break a
worlds record-and that's what hap
pened. No suggestion of any sort ever
came to me from any one outside our
own organization"
More than one tried to explain that
the tremendous size of the Olympic
crowds was due to a direct order from
Hitler to buy tickets and 60 every
day.
As we'll over 100000 others
were trying to get in, surround
ing the stadium every day, this
hardly seemed reasonable.
At least five different people came
to me with the report that Hitler had
ordered German athletes not to shake
hands with Negroes by way of public
congratulation after victory. Each
one said he had got this information
from a member of the German Olym-
pic Committee. But close check-up
failed to locate any such order.
No two members of the United
States team were rushed as badly by
autograph hunters as Jesse Owens,
both OF and on the field. There were
times when he was almost mobbed
by the crowd, which remained friendly
throughout. German papers were
full of his pictures, most Of them in
action, and all the stories written about
his running and jumping were full of
praise. Owens is q cheerful, modest
fellow, and he was much more pop
ular when the games ended than when
he first arrived.

The same thing happened In the

This was natural. The United States
wasn't far from being last. In fact,
the Americans ran a good last.
Part Of this was due to the
fact that no great amount Of

many nations owe the United

Another reason was the great su-
