SOftbaII Teams Meet, Evergreen
 Bowl This Even,
Miners and All-Stars Slated to Open Regular Sec
 ond-Week Schedule

Tonight at o'clock, III Evergreen Bowl, the local softball league will try again to get its regular season under way, after having to post pone all its clashes because of rain, though all four teams did manage to play off their practice bouts be- fore the torrent descended.
 Tonight's battle picks up the soft ball schedule at the opening of the third week, and opposes the Alaska Juneau and Evergreen Bowl AllStar teams. The dope would seeG to favor the Miners, if they are on hand in full force. They appear to pack little too much heft and power for the younger team.

Big Trap Shoot Held This Month;
 S50,000 in Prizes
Trophies and Other Valu. able Awards Are Also
 to Be Determined

DAYTON, Ohio, Aug. 9...-Nine- teen North American shotgun cham pionships and the destination of approximately $50,000 in cash, tro- pfies and other valuable awards will be determined during the Grand American Tournament, scheduled at Vandalia Field, near this city, according to the official program just released by the Amateur Trap shooting Association, the sports governing body.
 The 38th annual tournament, which is the world series of trap shooting to every gun-pointer, is scheduled August 23 to 27, inclusive. Every state, every Canadian pro- vince, the Canal Zone and Mexico will be represented among the HOO 'claybusters" expected to partici- pate in this years shoot Once a rotating event, the Grand" has been a Vandalia field feature since 1924, when the permanent home of the A.T.A. was established here.
 Handicap-FinaI Day
 The tournament, as usual, will be climaxed by the Grand American Handicap on the final day-one of the most unpredictable events in all the realm of sport-because no champion has ever repeated, and virtually every winner has come out of the ranks of the unknown. "A year ago, Ben F. Cheek of Clin- ton, Indiana, near 60, a lifelong hunter but a first-year trapshoouer, captured this championship.
 The guaranteed purse in the Handicap is $1O,OO0, but usually runs higher.
 The tournament, although opening officially on August B, will really get under way Sunday, August g, when the Vandalia Open and Open Handicap championships will be held.
 Championships
 Opening Day on Monday will find five championships at stake. These are the interesting Senior race, for contestants over 65; the Junior race, for boys under Is; the Sub-Junior for boys under 15; the Husband and Wife Championship, and most important of all, the Champion of Champions race, to which only state tournament title holders or runners-up are eligible.
 Three more championships will be determined Tuesday-The Amateur Clay Target Championships of North America-a 200-target event from the 16-yard line; the women's Amateur Championship, and the East-West team race.
 Wednesday brings. eight more championship races, including six class titles-Class A, A, B. c, D and E-the state team race and the Professional championship. On Thursday, the difficult Dou- blse Championship will be decided and the Preliminary Handicap, the latter eveent guaranteeing at least $5,000 in cash awards.
 Then on Friday comes the great est event of all-the Grand Amer ican Handicap.
