BY KARL. R. GOODWIN.
With the 32d annual trapshooting
tournament of the Sportsmen's Associa
tion of the Northwest a thing of the
fast, future tourneys are being con
sidered. The Inter-State Association,
with headquarters In Pittsburg, Pa., has
awarded a registered 100-bird race to
the Portland Gun Club for the Everdlng
Park traps near Jenne station July 10.
It will be under the "old policy" sys
tem. Praise and congratulations over the
success of the Northwest shoot on the
Everdlng- Park traps last Sunday, Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday have been
Showered on the officials and directors
of the Portland Gun Club for the effi
cient manner In which it was handled.
The much-coveted "at least 100 entries"
In the "For Tou a Rose in Portland
Grows" 100-bird main event last
(Wednesday was attained. Just 101 en
tries shot through the contest.
At the annual meeting of the Sports
men's Association of the Northwest the
Portland Gun Club was awarded the
1917 shoot. The four concrete trap
nouses, the attractive surroundings and
background all went toward making a
Ereat hit with the visitors.
Some remarkable shooting was wit
nessed by those present, especially the
Jast day, during the contests for the
three trophies. Shoot-offs were re
quired in all, and R, P. Knight, of the
Portland Gun Club, was victor in two
Instances. In his last 205 birds he
broke 196 of them for an average of
s.e.
He got away with two of them, and
lost out by one bird In the third. After
the regular event for the Becker trophy
had been disposed of it was shown that
Guy Egbers, of Pasco, Wash., and R. P.
Knight each had broken 45 targets out
of 30 singles and 10 pairs of doubles.
In the shoot-off Egbers smeared 42 and
Knight 43.
Miss Gladys Reld was not satisfied
with her own scatter gun, so she en
tered the Northwest championship 50
bird race with her uncle's, Les H. Reid,
of Seattle. After the smoke of battle
had cleared away she was tied with
U. P. Knight and Charles Leith, of
Woodburn, Or., for first place. Leith
was standing on the 18-yard line, while
his opponents were two yards closer to
the traps. In the shoot-off Knight went
through with only one lost bird. Miss
Held dropped two and Lcith dropped
four.
Again, in the three-man affair. Knight
came through with the punch, but he
did not win the trophy. The Portland
team No. 3, made up of Peter H. O'Brien,
Frank Templeton and James W. Seavey,
was eliminated by Portland No. 2. made
up of R. P. Knight, Archie Parrott and
K. H. Keller. No. 1 broke 56 and No. '2
7 out of 60. The Seattle trio and the
Vancouver, Wash., teams also broke 57,
and this required an extra 60-bird ses
sion. Frank Troeh, P. P. Nelson and
Frank Van Atta, representing Vancou
ver. Wash., won possession of the cup.
The Seattle team defaulted.
Just after the "Old Policy" shoot at
the Portland Gun Club grounds July
10, the Pacific Indians conclave will
be the attraction under the auspices of
the Tacoma, Wash., Gun Club at Ta--oma.
Wash. Frank C. Riehl, one of
the most widely known professionals
. of the Northwest, was in attendance
here last week, and while In Portland
he circulated a large number of pro
grammes for the Indians' event.
More than 40 trophies, besides the
money, will be divided among the win
ners. The shoot starts July 18, and
lasts until July 22. Entries from all
over the Northwest and British Co
lumbia are expected to be on hand to
shatter the blue rocks.
James K. ("Our Jim") Simpson, pres
ident, of the Stevenson. Wash., Gun
Club, applied for ' a registered shoot
from the Inter-State Association, but
no date was selected. Mr. Simpson
will not hold the affair at his club
until H. R. Everdlng, ex-president of
the Portland Gun Club, who at present
is at snipnera s tsprlngs. Wash., re
cuperating from an operation last
month, is able to shoot.

Wash.: Miss Gladys Reid, of Portland
and Mrs. C. J. Schilling, of Portland
were the only five women to compete
in the shoot here last week. Mrs.
Wilkes is one of the younger shooters,
but she broke 121 out of 150 the second
day out. She attended the Northwest
shoot here last year, and she plans on
returning with her husband to the Pa
clflc Coast handicap at Everding Park
traps early tn September.
J. R. Owens, of Wenatchee, Wash.,
won the John Smails memorial cup
presented by the Spokane, Wash., Rod
and Gun Club in 1911. Owens went
straight In the 25-bird Smails cup
rvent. He was the only one to perform
that particular feat.

shoot will be held at' the Portland Gun
Club grounds next Sunday. Shooting
will start promptly at 10 o'clock A. M
Several squads will practice at the
lverding Park traps this morning.
TENNIS TOURNAMENT OPENS
Metropolitan Lawn Championship la
at Stake at New York.
NEW YORK, June 10. Eastern ten
nis players look for a keen contest to
prevent the Metropolitan Lawn Tennis
championship from going to a Pacific
Coast man in the annual tournament
beginning today at Bronxville.
Their apprehension was caused by the
fact that California is represented
among the entrants by such experts as
R. Lindley Murray, who won the title
In 1914; H. Van Dyke Johns, member
of the Iceland Stanford team, and Willis
E. Davis, winner of the recent Sleepy
Hollow Country Club singles. Another
Pacific Coast star among the entrants
is L. Richardson, of Oregon.

That Providence Record.
The long Giant winning streak has
brought back into prominence that
Providence record made back in 1884
record of 20 straight. The most
rema'kable feature of this victorious
span is that Charley Radbourne pitched
in 18 of the 20 games.
Radoourr.e started the spurt on Au
gust 7 by beating New York, 4 to 2. He
rested the next day while Providence ,
upset Philadelphia, 6 to 0. Then, on
August 9, Radbourne resumed again,
beating Boston. 1 to 0, 3 to 1. 4 to 0
and 1 to 0. . Radbourne then beat
Cleveland, 3 to 2, and Detroit. 4 to 2,
resting for the last time on August 20,
when Providence again beat Detroit,
5 to 2. From August 21 to September
7 Radbourne won every game.
Here is the complete record the
most remarkable pitching achievement
of all time as figured out by George
Moreland:

Beyond 1A11 Competition.
This record of Radbourne's is now
beyond all competition. Certainly no
pitcher will ever come again who can
win 18 straight games within less than
a month. In these 18 games the Provi
dence Etar allowed but 28 runs, an
average well under two runs to the
game. His most remarkable achieve
ment was holding Boston to one run
in four games.
The Providence club that season
numbered, in addition to the mighty
Radbourne. such players as. Bancroft,
Lovett, Farrell, Start. Daily. Irwin,
Crane, Radford, Murray, Carroll, Den
ny, Bassett and Gilllgan.
The Chicago club that was over
thrown four times in the Providence
sweep had such stars as Anson, Pfeffer,
Williamson, Burns. Dalrymple, Kelly,
Gore, Billy Sunday and Silver Flint
a wonderful organization. So there was
no question about the class of teams
that Radbourne was beating and thaT
Providence was helping him to beat.
One peculiar feature of the situation
is that it was a Giant organization
which made the first determined as
sault on the Providence total. The

Sir: I see that credit for the Giants'

several men. But Art Fletcher has

The 1016 Fenlore.
If we had to pick one outstanding
feature of the new season it would be
this, beyond any argument, viz.: The
brilliant retUYn of Christy Mathewson,
starting his 16th year. Mathewson.
back In April, was officially counted
out. He had faltered and slipped the
year before and had been unable to
get a good Spring start. When Bos
ton beat him the first game with 11
hits the' final verdict was considered
all in and the autopsy rendered. Af
ter which Mathewson began to pitch
with the effectiveness of his greatest
years, showing that as a Giant power
he probably had several seasons still
loft in his business elbow and shoulder.
After Matty's recent showing there
is no longer any debate about the com
pleteness of his "return. He is not only
back again, but apparently in better
fettle than for several years.

Style of Speed WUard's Delivery May
Be Changed and Cleveland Manager
Hopes for Great Results.
CLEVELAND, June 1. Will Lee Fohl
succeed where Pat Moran. Jimmy Ar
cher. Oscar Stanage, Sam Agnew. Billy
Sullivan and otners failed? Will Lee
Fohl come through and make a depend
able pitcher of Grover Lowdermllk af
ter numerous managers of ability have
declared the slat was untamable?
Clevelanders may be able to answer
those questions before many weeks
have passed.
When Branch Rickey let Lowdermllk
go to Detroit a year ago he declared
the tall right-hander wis impossible.
Judging from Lowdy's 1915 record of
157 bases on balls, it looked as if he
were right. During the Winter Hughey
Jennings gave Billy Sullivan a Job in
hope that his erratic pitching staff
might be steadied. Billy was placed in
charge of Lowdermllk. He worked with
him the enjjre training trip. A few days
after tne season opened Lowoy was
used as a relief pitcher. He passed the
only three men who faced him.
Cleveland purchased him via the wai
ver route the same night. He started
game in St. Louis. He walked seven
and hit one in three Innings, but such
was his dazzling speed that the Browns
could do nothing with the ball when
he did get it over and only two runs
were scored on him, one being on an
error.
Slnee then Lowdermllk has not
worked a full game except the exhibi
tion game at Davenport, la., where he
mowed down the Three-I leaguers as
fast as they went to bat.
"Something is radically wrong with
Lowdy's delivery," said Fohl to himself
as he sat on the bench and watched the
tall man work out. "But what Is It?"
He watched him for two days. Then
he noticed that although Lowdy stands
six feet six inches in bis stocking feet,
he was taking a stride of only 16 or 18
Inches in pitching.
"A tall men like you. Grove." he sala
to Lowdermllk. "ought to take a stride
of three feet when he lets the ball go.
When you take a shorter stride jrou
are pitching unnaturally."
Since that discovery Lowdermllk "has
been putting in half an hour each day
taking a full stride in his delivery. It
was not easy for him to change a style
he has been following for nine years,
but he is getting there and Fohl Is con
fident that lie Is going to disprove the
old saying: "You cannot teach an old
Uof? new tricks."
As a result Cleveland rooters are
likely to see Lowdermllk performing
meritoriously upon the rubber before
many weeks have passed. And they
should remember that Lowdy Is one of
the few. pitchers In the business who
have the speed to throw the ball past
the batters.
NEW YORK EXPECTS SKHIKS
Teams in Nationals and Americans
In Striking Distance of Lead.
NEW YORK. June 3. Although the
major league baseball season Is not
half completed, the fans of Greater New
York are already figuring on witness
ing at leat one-half of the world's se
ries of 1916 and po6lbly the entire con
flict. With the New York and Brook-
yn teams, fighting for the National
League lead and the New lork Ameri
cans within striking distance of first
place in the American, it is hard to
convince the average rooter of the big
city that one of the three will not be
found safely perched at the top when
the season closes early In October.
The remarkable dash of the New
York Giants from last place to within
a few points of the lead in the senior
league, during wnich they won 17
straight games, has restored the Giants
to their former place in the affections
of the fans and confidence in their abil
ity to play winning ball from this time
on is evident on all sides. Across the
big bridges Brooklyn fans are just as
certain that the Superbas will be able
to maintain the pace that they have
set from the beginning of the season.
Connie Mack, the leader of the Phil
adelphia Athletics, in a recent Inter
view picked the Yankees to win the
American League pennant. This, taken
In conjunction with the brand of ball
the reconstructed combination has dis
played this S-ing. has caused the fol
lowers of the Junior league in Greater
New York to figure on the possibility
of the Yankees appearing in the rolo
of world's series contenders next Fall.
Much will depend upon the result of
the New York Americans' first trip
over the western circuit. The Giants
and Superbas already have passed this
test In a highly satisfactory manner. If
the Yankees can demonstrate that they
are equally efficient on the road their
chances of holding a place well to the
fore In the long pennant race ahead
will be considerably augmented.
