Chlngren won the solid gold watch donated to the Spokane Gun club by H. ' R. Everding, former president of the Portland Gun club. Chinjgren shot from the 20-yard line. Four hundred and sixty-four tourna ments have been registered by the Interstate association for the -encour agement of trapshooting for the 1916 season. The 1916 number was 333. Annie Oakley (Mrs.F. E. Butler) has Instructed more than 800 pupils In the art of trapshooting during the season at Pinehurst, N. C. New Gun clubs have been formed by the trapshooters of Astoria, Or., and Randle, Wash. The sport alluring has taken quite a hold on the coast The Klsslmee city council and the county commissioners have appropri ated money and trophies to make the Florida trapshooting championship at Klsslmee one to be remembered. Cincinnati and Indianapolis Gun clubs have just concluded home and home matches. Indianapolis winning in both cities. The match in Cincin nati was taken' by two targets, 416 to 414. e" Gun clubs connected with the Elks of Kan Francisco, UakUand, .Berkeley, Richmond and Alameda, Cal., have sig nified their intention of forming a tiopshootlng league. The Kittening- Rod and Gun club and the Wilkinsburg Gun club have been elected member of the Western Pennsylvania Trapshooters' league. In order that the shooter with the lowest score wlU.not become discour aged, this league will present the low score man each wetk with a small American flag- The idea of Setting one day aside for a salute to the memory of the late George L. Lyon of Durham, N. C, seems to meet with the approval of the trapshooters the country over, but no organisation has taken hold oi the movement, and it now looks as If it would fall flat. Two of the best shots in the Boise Gun club are women Mrs. W. A. Rea son and Mrs. E. C. Grlce. They par ticipate in all the tournaments of the club and always fare well. There are now25? gun club mem bers of the American Amateur Trap shooters' association. These clubs have an individual jmembership of 9000. Pennsylvania has. 88 clubs in the as sociation, with Mlinols'second, with 18. Gun clubs are ; being enrolled at an average of 60 each week. ' e Rockford, 111., iboasts a moat progres sive trapshooting club, and is contin ually on the alert for. new ideas to keep its members Interested and the organisation itself in tne pudio eye. As a member of the Rockford, Janes ville, Belolt and Capron federation last year,, the energy and enthusiasm of its shooters was a large factor in the sccesa t that, league. For the 1916 season they have organised a league among their own members, with eight terns and 10 men (or women) to a team." Prizes have been offered, and a regular schedule mapped out, so that during the entire season thers will be something of more than ordinary in terest to hold the members together. The trapshooting school on the mil lion dollar pier; Atlantic City, N. J. the greatest of American seaside re sortsIs an unqualified euecess. The attendance for the first three Weeks Is what ws base the first statement on. The success of - the Idea is assured. During these (three weeks 180 per sons have tried the exhilarating -sport of breaking targets flying over the Atlantic ocean.! Of this number 4 88 were male novices, 17 women novices, Via .Tn.H.nr mu whnntmrm anrl one experienced female scatter . grim en thusiast Instruction was given to every one of ths novices; and in every case marked improvement . was noted. Duff ey Thinks Yale Star Will Win Race Arthur Duffey, ex-champion sprint er, says: "Johnny Overton of Yale seems to have either the mile or the two mile race at his mercy in the Intercollegiate track and field sports to be decided at Harvard stadium May 26 and 27. If Overton can keep up the gait he has shown this Indoor season, it is hard to figure how any of ths other oollegians can beat him. If the Blue crack should not elect o start in the two mile there is no rea son why he shouldn't be beard from in the mile as well as the half. John Paul Jones was able to do such a stunt back in 1918 and there seems to be no reason why Overton shouldn't be able to do likewise." Tracer at Khipherd's Springs. Tommy Tracey, boxing instructor of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club, who was injured some time ago in an automobile accident, is at Ship herd's Springs, where he will remain for a couple of weeks. Tracey hopes to be able to resume his work at the club next fall. Freshmen League Formed. Jt is expected ths proposed freshman basketball league which will be started among eastern colleges next fall will include Pennsylvania, Columbia. Col legs of tha City of New York, West Point, New- Yrk university and Tale. One of the first requirements of the troops being drilled by Great Britain in its camps Is that the recruit make his body as physically fit as possible and with this idea in view the men ar trained In every branch of athletics.

Ths money was raised by popular subscrip tion. It will be ready in June and will represent the city of Minneapolis In various national power boat races this year, j . - . .;. Generally speaking, when the organ isation of a trapshooting club has been perfected, little thought is given at first to the erection of a clubhouse. This is probably due to ths fact that most clubs are organised during the spring or summer months at a time when weather conditions are practi cally Ideal. Trapshooting is an all-year-round sport, however, and the rainy or other wise Inclement weather encountered Ister in the winter arouses the club members to ths consideration of a shelter from the elements. Ths state ct the organisation's finances at this time naturally govern the style and stse of ths clubhouse erected. As the club continues to prosper and the funds increase, additions are added to the original structure, or an entirely new house is built. Wot AH Crude Affairs. This is the method of evolution that oocurs ln the average club, but It must not be taken, however, as an indica tion 'that all gun clubhouses are crude affairs thrown together for protective purposes only. Many trapshooting or. aanlsatlons own clubhouses which ln point of architectural beauty rival the most exclusive clubs of the city. No expense is spared to make the build ings commodious and modern ln every respect. Electric lights and a sanitary system of plumbing do much to pro vide comfort for the members. A room is set apart in which steel lock era are nicely arranged for the con venience of the i hooters, who rent them by ths year for a nominal figure Partitioned off from the main roomJ will usually be found a screened-ln office for the cashier of the club shoots and tournaments. Gun racks, lounging rooms, open fire places and a telephone booth add a touch of comfort and tend to make the clubhouse mjpie attractive to members and visitors. Balcony for Spectators. A portion of -the second floor Is de voted to a spacious balcony, from which an excellent view of the shoot ers and traps may be enjoyed by the spectators while resting in comfortable rocking chairs.
