NEW TORK, Dec. 20, William M.
Johnston of San Francisco heads the
list of ranking players as determined
by the ranking: committee of the
United States National Law Tennis
association announced tonight. It is
the second time Johnston has achieved
this honor as he was No. 1 in 1916.
In their order the other members
of the "first 10"' are William T. Til
den. II, of Philadelphia: Ichlya Ku
magae of New York, R. Lindley Mur
ray of Niagara P'alls. Wallace F.
Johnson of Philadelphia, Richard N.
Williams II, of Boston; Roland Rob
erts of San Francisco; Charles S.
Garland of Pittsburg. Walter T.
Hayes of Chicago, Watson M. Wash
burn of New York.
To reach its decisions this year, the
ranking committee announced it had
to consider the records of more than
5000 players, which indicates the re
markable revival of tournament com
petition throughout the country.
Year's Play High Class. '
Furthermore, the class of play was
so much higher than prevailed last
year that players who actually had
a better record in 1919 than a year
ago, may be farther down the list.
This higher standard of play is due
In part, according to the committee,
to the return of men who were in the
service and in part to the develop
ment of many promising youngsters
in all parts of the country. It was
announced that only the results of
sanctioned tournaments were consid
ered and the committee was instruct
ed to rank solely on performance and
not upon its opinion of players' abil
ity. Late season performances re
ceived more consideration than those
of early season.
With reference to the Australian
players the committee found that the
matches played by Gerald L. Patter
son and Norman E. Brookes indicated
a class of about second and fourth
places In the "first ten." Frederick
B. Alexander of New York also stood
well up, but in view of their short
records they were not ranked. Simi
larly R. V. Thomas and Randolph
Lycett .would have found places far
ther down the list.
Anzaca Top Doublra.
In doubles, however, their record
was conclusive and therefore, Brookes
and Patterson top the list of rank
ing teams. Their margin over the
next best team, Johnston and Griffin,
was sufficient to leave no doubt in
the committee's mind. Alexander
and Voshell occupy third piace, the
other teams In the "first 10" being:
T. C. Bundy-M. E. McLoughlin, Los
Angeles; Robert Kinsey-Howard Kin
sey, San Francisco; R. N. Williams
W. M. Washburn, New York; Vincent
Richards-W. T. Tilden, II. Philadel
phia; Alex Graven-Robert Kinsey,
San Francisco; I. Kumagae-P. C.
Wright, New York: Leonard Beek-man-W.
M. Hall, New York.
Women's Game Improves.
The general excellence of play in
the men's events was paralleled in
those for women and there, again, it
was hard to rank some individuals.
The present champion, Mrs. George
W. Wightman of oBston heads the
ranking with Miss Eleanor Goss of
New York second. Mrs. Franklin
Mauory (Molla ujurstedt) comes
next, her defeats early in the year
having been partially retrieved later.
The others who comprise the "first
10" are:
Miss Marion Zinderstein, Boston;
Miss Helen Baker, San Francisco;
Mrs. Edward Raymond. Hartsdale,
N. Y.; Miss Helen Gllleaudeau, Mama-
roneck; Miss Marie Wagner. New
York; Miss Corinne Gould, St. Louis;
JVllss Helens Pollak, New York.
The committee recommended that
sanction for tournaments next year be
refused about 18 clubs, which failed
to file reports of their scheduled
events.
In omitting a division into classes'
the committee was moved by the
closeness of competition this year to
declare that any such division is mors 1
or less arbitrary.
WANTED, RACING COMMISSION
Track Owners In Maryland Plan to
Make Fight In Legislature.
BALTIMORE, Md., Dec. ,20. The
race track owners in Maryland have
planned to make a fight in the legis
lature for a law creating a state
racing commission with the append
age of a daily tax during race meet
ing for the benefit of the state treas
ury. The opponents of race track
betting are looking up the possibil
ities of defeating such a scheme by
a referendum. It is the belief of the
latter that, even if the race track
people can muster enough votes In the
general assembly to pass a' bill creat
ing a state racing commission, the
majority of voters would be against
it because the effect of such a law
would be very favorable to tho raco
track interests in that it would im
prove their legal standing through
the state. ,
What the foes of the track want is
the repeal of the various special acts
of the legislature, under which the
four one-mile tracks in Marylmd
operate. This would put them all out
of business that is, the elimination
of the open betting would cut off the
big profits. Oral betting, race track
people say, would not prove profitaole
to the tracks in Maryland because the
attendance at the tracks here is not
sufficient to carry them along with
out revenue from the pari-mutuel sys
tem or from bookmakers.
Of course, if the race track people
are beaten at Annapolis in their 'ight
to enact a state racing commission
bill and the anti-race track people
succeed in passing a law to Btop the
betting, the race track people them
selves can have recourse to the ref
erendum by petition. Then the ques
tion- would be laid before the voters
of the entire state at the November
election of next year.
As the matter now stands, every
mile track in Maryland operates m
der a different local law. The Havre
de Grace track pays a small tax on
its admissions and the money goe3
to Harford county roads. The Laurel
track pays no special tax at all, but
racing there is permitted only in
October, under a county fair law.

OMAHA, Neb.. Dec. 20. Nebraska
followers of wrestling are up in arms
over the announcement of Jack Cur-

their shoulders placed on the mat by

Gene Melady, Omaha livestock com

announcement from the New York

"There can be but one champion.

he defeated Joe Stecher In Omaha and

the title from him. He is champion
now and will be for several years un

"Ihe statement that Earl retired is

He simply took a vacation from, the

contenders were making that much a
minute in the ring over here and
hurling defis at the champion who
was unable to respond."
Caddock has recently returned from
a several months' rest trip on his
ranch in Wyoming, where he built up
his condition, which was run down
during his illness In Fram e. He re

BRANDEXBt'RG, RIGHT UACFf
HALF; BILL. STEERS,
DOUBLES SHOOTING PROVES
HIT WITH SHOTGUN ARTISTS
Breaking of Pairs Offers Great Sport lor Trap Enthusiasts Clubs Are
Urged to Stage More of Such Exciting Contest.
BY PETER P. CARNEY.
THE shooting that pleased the au
dience most on the recent tour
of the Winchester shooting team
through nine eastern and southern
states, was that at double targets.
By "doubles targets" we mean two
targets thrown from the trap
simultaneously, one to the right and
the other to the leftt the trapshooter
pumping one load at each target just
about as fast as he can work the gun
in an effort to make both "kills."
There isn't any doubt About doubles
shooting being interesting and also
quite difficult. It is the most inter
esting thing connected with clay tar
get shooting and it is a pity that
there isn't more of it- It was the
writer's pleasure to witness a number
of the exhibitions of the Winchester
team and at every place more ap
plause followed the doubles shooting
than any other event. This proved
to me that the spectators enjoyed this
event more than the others.
Each member of the team shot at
10 pairs in each of the cities visited,
beginning in Harrlsburg, which was
the third stop on the 34-day tour.
There were a number of gun clubs
that did not have double attachments
to their traps and in these places
Battle Creek. Christopher and .Poplar
Bluff Ad Topperweln threw one
target with the hand trap as the trap
per threw the other. This method
wasn't altogether satisfactory, but it.
was the best that could be done.
Of the 580 targets John Taylor of
Newark, O., broke 603. Charley Spen
cer of St. Louis, Mo., broke one less
target than Taylor. Fred Bills of
Chicago, III., broke 478; J. Mowell
Hawkins of Harrlsburg, Pa., 460 and
Mrs. Ad Topperweln of San Antonio,
Tex., 452. Spencer and Taylor had two
straights and Mrs. Topperwein and
Mr. Hawkins one each.
At Rockford, 111., the team broke 97
out of 50 pairs, which is as far as we
know a world's record for this kind
of shooting.- Mrs. Topperwein and
Spencer broke straight and the other
three each missed one target.
There - was a time when all those
who shot at doubles targets used a
double barrel gun. but that time h
real hound. - He's a little black Scotch
terrier and those who have seen him
in action declare him to be a wonder.
When Carpe'hter grabs a "pinch" of
sand and -goes on the tee, th4s little
terrier, that-answers to the name of
"Tammie," rears up on .his hind legs
and takes notice. No matter if the
little pill is pounded out 100 yards or
250 yards, "Tammie" has his eye. on
the balL That admonition in golf,
baseball and other sports where a
spheroid is used, "Keep your eye on
the ball," certainly applies to "Tam
mie." The. ball may go into the tall
and.uncut of the rough, or down the
fairway, -but "Tammie". will" dash' out

passed. Nowadays practically all those
who shoot at doubles use the pump
gun and quite a number of the experts
can pump a gun faster than the old
timers could pull the trigger of the
double-barrel gun.
The best thing the American Trap
shooting association could do would
be to put a dubles event of at least
10 pairs on at each state champion
ship. This would greatly interest the
shooters and make the national
doubles championship a much bigger
and better event than it is now.
Here is the way the members of the
Winchester team shot at the 10 pairs

JACOBBERGER, LEF
GUN CLUB HOLDS MEETING
DIRECTORS WANT STATE
EVENT SET DOWN IN MAY.
Portland Organization Plans Ex
pansion to Obtain Recognition In
Averages of National Body.
At the annual meeting of the Port
land Gun club last week it was voted
to apply to the American Trapshoot
ing association for 'the dates of May
22. 23 and 24, for the 1920 Oregon
state championship blue rock tourna
ment. It was also decided to cut the
event from four to three days, in
stead of dragging the programme
out for four days.
The annual meeting, of the Port
land Gun club was one of the most
enthusiastic ever held and resulted
in the election of - Herbert B. New
land, president; Arthur K. Downs,
vice-president; James C. Morris and
Frank Templeton, directors, and E. II.
Keller, secretary. A more popular se
lection of officers for the coming
year -could not have been made and
from now on the clay pigeons devo
tees can look for things to hum at the
Everdlng park traps. Many innova
tions and tournaments for 1920 were
talked over and planned and a num
ber of events set.
The tournament committee named
for 1920 is Frank Van Atta, Charles
B. Preston and H. B. Newland.
Three big registered shoots will be
applied for by the club for next year
to the parent body, the American
Trapshooting association. whose
headquarters are in New Tork.
The first will be on March 20 and
21; the seconid registered affair on
May 22, 23 and 24 and the third on
August 28 and 29.
1300 Tararet Year Wasted.
The officials figure that if possible
they would like to arrange for at
least 1300 registered targets to be
thrown, at the Everdlng park traps
in 1920. This will give the local
trapshots a chance to shatter enough
targets along with what they might
bag at other northwest registered
shoots to place them in the list of of
ficial averages compiled by the asso
ciation for the United States. In or
der to be listed it is necessary to
shoot at at least 2000 registered tar
gets.
Charles B. Preston, one of the most
prominent members of the Portland
Gun club and a top rank shooter, has
doaated a cup which will be known as
the president's trophy to be shot for
in 1920.
The first of this year a trophy
known as the directors' trophy was
I put up to be shot for the entire year.
All targets were to count on the tro
phy and the high average man at the
end of the year was to have been
awarded the trophy. Owing to the
fact that the records on some of the
weekly shoots were loBt it was found
Impossible to make a just award this
year and so at the. annual meeting it
was decided to put the directors' -tro
phy up In competition in 1920 under a
simpler scoring method.
Trophy Rules Assoasred.
The directors' cup will be shot for
In a series of ten merchandise shoots,
which will be held at frequent inter
vals during the new year. All ex
cept the final shoot will be regular
50 target events. Ttve final merchan
dise shoot of the season will be 100
targets. The high man In this final
shoot will be awarded the president's
cup and the high average man on
the ten shoots will win the directors'
trophy.
For his . great work towards the
advancement of the Portland Gun
club and his interest for the good of
the game a life membership will be
presented to William C. Bristol, and
suitable token will go along with
the honor.
Starting January 1 and lasting for
90 days the Initiation fee for member
ship in the Portland Gun club will
be $50. April 1 the initiation fee will
be raised to $150. It was also voted
to apply for a regular membership for
the Portland Gun club in the Oregon
Sportsman's league.
Frank Van Atta, runner up for the
Oregon state championship in 1917
and one of the best known scatter
gun artlBts in the northwest, will
take charge of the management of
the club on January 1.
The Olympic club of San Francisco,
which went into the trapshooting
game last year, has found the going
so good that the club is staging what
It is terming a world championship
shoot over its traps on February 21,
22 and 23. At least three members
of the Portland Gun club, Frank
Troeh, C. B. Preston and Jim Seavey
will attend the tournament, and It is
likely that Henry R. "Hi" Everdlng,
who Is wintering in Los Angeles, will
come north for the event.
Curve- Ball Expert Dies. "
Another "originator of the curve
ball" has just died. He was Joseph
McElroy Mann, who is alleged to have
developed a curve while pitching for
Princeton university 69 years ago. His
home was in Bloomfield, N. J., and he
was connected . with, the publishing
concern of Scribner & toons In .New
York city,.
BT GEORGE W. COWNE.
A tentative basketball schedule
calling for 36 games has been drawn
up by the coaches of the high school
quintets and will be submitted to the
directors of the lnterscholastic league
for their approval when they meet the
first week in January. According to
the tentative schedule Hill and James
John will open the season January 12,
while Benson and Columbia will ring
down the curtain on basketball activi
ties March 2.
Only two days remain before the
schools will close for the Christmas
holidays on Tuesday. They will open
again January 5. and if the tentative
schedule of the coaches is passed upon
favorably by the board of directors it
will leave only one week of practice
for the hoopers before the season
commences.
Basketball fills in on the lnterscho
lastic calendars during the winter
months that intervene between the
football season and those of the
spring sports of track and baseball
But basketball Is no longer considered
merely as "filling in." For several
years now the court game has taken
Us nlace alongside of the other scno
laetlc soorts as a major branch ol
high school athletics. Keener interest
is being taken in basketball this year
than ever before.
Close Play Promised.
Competition will be exceedingly
close between the quintets this year,
as each school numbers among iti
players several lettermen of last sea
son as well as numerous new ones on
the available list.
The Benson Tech five under the
coaching of Billy Bryan will have to
be reckoned with when It comes to
making a bid for championship hon
ors. Bryan has several first-class
men from which to select his team.
Those who have been showing up well
In practice are Ferguson, Scott and
Courtney, forwards; Giesy, Colt and
Hill, guards; and Burns. Unox and
Gregg, centers. In Kenneth Hill. Ben
son has one of the best all-around
hoopers who has ever performed in
lnterscholastic circles.
Franklin will feel the loss of Harry
Thomas, star guard of last year, who
has decided not to play this season
but his place will be well filled. Hal
lier and Jones, both last-year letter
men, will have to step lively if they
place on the team, for Kelly and Wat
kins are both good men and promise
to furnish a few surprises. There are
no experienced centers available from
last year's team, but a strong com
petition is developing between Poul
sen. Tank McCallum and Grashorn.
with the Lincoln team and it is- ex
pected that several more of the valley
high school teams will be taken on
before the team returns.
The Lincoln high team, with all the
men of last year's championship team
back with the exception of Sanders,
look to be strong contenders for the
title again this season. The Railsplit
ters will make a pre-season tour of
the Willamette valley during the
Christmas vacation. The Chemawa
Indian school and the Ashland high
school teams have scheduled games

$15 to $20 a quart, at the rate of a
