DATES OF BIG TRAP TOUNEYS Oregon State Championship to Be Shot Over Everding Park , Traps in May. SPORTSMEN'S associations In 2S Rtates have selected dates for their trapshooting championships. These and the dates of other im portant trapshooting competitions have been announced by the Inter state Trapshooting association in Its 1918 list of registered tournaments. Tournaments registered thus far number exactly 300 ; 61 others have been applied for. including 25 state tournaments, and when matters are adjusted these tournaments will be registered. The number of tourna ments does not compare with those of last year or the year before when more than BOO were registered but It Is a wonderful number con sidering the conditions under which we are laboring. Many Are la Service Trapshooting was the last sport to be affected by the war. More than 100,000 trapshooters have - en tered the service, and with such numbers doing their best for "Uncle 6am and democracy, it Is only na tural that the number of tourna ments should decrease.

This Is certainly the occasion when all good men should dash madly to the as sistance of the party the baseball party. For, when this war is over, an event which has always over taken every war, baseball Is going to be sitting up and taking nourish ment with an enthusiasm never be fore duplicated. The long, hard summer that looms ahead Just now is just one of the hard points which must be taken into consideration as the cloud with its silver lining gets nearer. If baseball can survive the hard knocks HOLLY IS MAKING GOOD WITH CUBS ins rtv , N ft fmtr Charley IToIlocher, former Portland . shortstop, who is branded as a star by Manager Hitchell of the Chicago Nationals. a A i if Wiilwi L '" " I or -, IT H mi ii nunrfWiraTsg' iiff i -r-i imr m-1 THEMSELVES FOLLOWING CONFLICT that are due to bust fore and aft it is going to crawl forth from this world's series wearing a brand new laurel wreath and cjinklng a lot of dollars' in the old 'pocket. CItII War Gave Start Every war. as has been stated many a time, has helped make the popularity of baseball. Tjte Civil war, in fact, gave the national game its start on the high road to fortune. And the Spanish-American war came along and gave the thing a push that settled it for once and all right at the top of the list of Ameri can games. But those things are going to fade into insignificance, superlative Insignificance, when the Job of ex terminating kultur ds finished. Baseball, as was told by the United Press in a series of stories on the training camps, is being played so extensively that practically every American soldier is getting some training at the game he heretofore has been content to sit off and cheer. When these youths get back from Germany they're going to know so much baseball and are going to be so enthusiastic about it that they're going to crowd every baseball park In the country minor league and major league. Coaldn't Hold Crowd Just think it over for a while and Imagine a world'a series under such conditions. Given two of the largest parks In the country, with two popu lar teams to form the attraction, and there would be no limit to the attendance. The mark set in 1916 by the tremendous crowd which crowded lnself into Braves Field In Boston would have to fall. There would bo nothing else for It to do. Never In the history of the United States has sports been so popular. Never in the history of the world has a nation thrown Itself lno sports training so systematically and thoroughly as has the United States. Germany's Turnverelns and the stupid gymnastic ' system of condi tioning men is not to be mentioned in the same breath. NIG CLARKE SAYS QUANTICO BUNCH SOME BALL TEAM Marine Athletes Are Going to Play Game on Quite a Scale. " 'Spect to wallop the old agate 'about a bit before going over, and have been appointed manager of the team down there. We expect to have some good old times on the diamond. That's what Nig Clarke, former Cleveland and San Francisco catcher. says about baseball for the United States marines at Quantico. Va. Only it lsn Nig Clarke any more. No, siree. It's Corporal Clarke, United States marines, if you please. He's a regular marine and got his chevrons at Paris Island, S. C, and has been visiting New York, says an Eastern scribe. "I've just got here." Bays Clarke, "and haven't had time to get things going. They made me a manager of a baseball team at Quantico, and we expect to have a good deal of baseball down there before we go across. "Dots' Miller, Bill Ormsby and a lot of former big leaguers are with the marine corps, and we ought to have a pretty fair ball club..

FOOTBALL TO REVIVE, IS BELIEF - Activity in Other Forms of Sport and War Department's Sanc tion, Moving "Big Three." NBW YORK, March 30. The resump tion of boat racing, baseball, track and other sporta at the bigger univer sities of the east foreshadows a return of football when next fall rolls around. The terrible blow that was dealt col lege sports in 1917 probably will not be repeated this year. At any rate it may be stated positively that the impetus given sports by the spring and early summer events already given sanction will give sports a start for the winter that should branch Into something real before the end of the year. t Idea Is Tremendous Oae War or no war, it has been found that athletics must be carried on. The attention the war department Is pay ing to sports has had some effect in producing this feeling, but the cry of the public and the athletes themselves has had more to do with It. College mentors have come to -the conclusion that, arbitrarily cutting off a man's chance for physical development and concentrating time on other things reads like the old proverb : "All work and no play makes Jark a dull boy." War-time football, therefore, may be looked forward to. No less an authority than Coach Robinson of the University of Pennsylvania, believes that the ad vent of another autumn will find east ern colleges going along at the same old pace. Pennsylvania, by the way, was one of the few big eastern colleges that Ignored the troubles Incident to the war and went right ahead with Its athletic problems and no one can say that Pennsylvania has not done its share of war work. Football Suffered Maeh Sports suffered through the lack of big games last year. Football was only a half-way sort of game with the splen dor of Harvard and Yale, Harvard and Princeton and Princeton and Yale. There Is no use to surround the Issue with camouflage. Yale, Harvard and Prince ton uphold the torchlight which leads football. Without these big games football Is only bo so. These games are to foot ball what the world'a series is to base ball. They bring a climax of glory, gritty determination, and drama to the end of the football season. The army and navy always have supplied a color that was sadly missed last year. This big game, however, seems definitely abandoned, but the array and ravy rea sons are far more important than those which emanated from Cambridge and New Haven when hostilities broke out. West Point will play 21 baseball games. The annual contest with the Navy nine will take place June 1. After fits rrW, a rest aW m Real Grvwefy. Tkis is rnrnUi teeaccs aasf fa faini Sit sea it, sse JACK DEMPSEY LUCKY BIRD NOT TO CONTEST WITH LEAK PLASTERER Mere Fact That Slugger Is Hanging Around Waiting for Chance Will Mean That Fulton or Willard Must Meet Him Soon. After Championship Is Fought on July 4. EW YORK, March 30. Jack all. A match with Fred Fulton would have been a bad thing for the young meteor who has been whipping the cream and other parts of the heavyweight brigade. Chances are Fulton would have given him a licking at his present stage of development, and these would have been nothing but a' lot of glory and some excel lent press-agenting material if Jack had been so unfortunate as to get himself into a match with Jess Willard. There is no doubt that the public wanted to see Dempsey-and Fulton in action. In view of the fact that the public makes 'the bouts and popularizes matches, it may be considered that Fulton and the promoters went wrong in not pulling off a Dempsey bout. But there should be no wail from the Dempsey camp, for Dempsey la progressing in nice, easy fashion, .setting himself ready for a cham pionship bout In the future that will mean a lot more to him than a bout of that size at present Will Have to Fight Seoa With a man like Dempsey on the horizon Fred Fulton will have to fight soon, provided he is successful in wresting the championship from Willard. And, if Willard success fully defends his title against Fulton he will be forced Into a match with the West Virginia-Utah slugger. Keen competition In the heavy weight ranks la stirring up a lot of favorable talk. The fans are eager for the thing to be threshed out and started all over again. Even In these war times, the bouts that are in prospect look like record-breakers in the matter of gate receipts and attendance. Horaa Coaeeded Small Chaaee When Jess Willard fought Frank Moran In the only bout he haa con descended to enter since he defeated Jack Johnson, Moran waa conceded only a very small chance of win ning. The bout waa only ten rounds a mere exhibition affair in the ranks of the heavyweights, yet that bout drew more than $100,000. Madi son Square Garden held one of he greatest crowds that ever saw a boxing match. With these facts In mind. It seems safe to assert that, with a popular challenger like Ful ton going lnte the lists for a bout longer than the degrading ten rounds that have been prevalent, the re ceipts and gate will overstep any hlng ever seen. There won't be the chance for advertising and bitter argument that existed In 1910, when Jeffries was defeated. But the people are eager to see the bout, and there will be a fair amount of pre-flght talk. MISS CLARA C. Haywood, the Phila delphia girl who as a result of In struction at the hands of ex-Champion Harry F. Cline haa achieved great pro ficiency as a balk line and straight rail billiard player.
