S.) been 1" Minor league baseball has wrecked by the burdens ot war. The fortunes of the average mipor league club are uncertain enough in dmes of peace, when the club owner hal only a winner to think about. But In these parlous tiroes the burdens have grown so heavy that the minors have been forced to drop out. The action of the Pacific Coast league, the Southern league, the Texas league and the Western league is closing their gates this month was forced. Crowds Dwindle , The club owners would have hung on had they been able to see the faintest ray of light ahead, but what with losing players, playing to ever dwindling crowds and facing a future that loomed up in ebony blackness, it was time for the little fellows of baseball to toss in the sponge and He dormant until after the big world's series is over. There la little doubt in the mind of baseball men that the gates of minor league parks throughout the country will remain closed next season unless peace should come before next April. Will Vot Opel The minor leaguers stiffened their mezzanine lips, dug down deep into ready depleted pocketbooks and took rung at war-time baseball this year. And they got knocked for a goal be cause of their gallant efforts to hang on. When the National association meets in Peoria this fall if it meets at all it is 10 to one that sentiment against opening parks next season will be so strong that plans will be made to dis continue all minor leagues until the war ends. YOUNG- SHOOTER WILL TEY TO WIN NATIONAL TITLE Harley Woodward, 15 (Years Old, Holds Texas 'Championship; Entered in Grand American. One of the contestants for the national amateur trapshooting championship, to be decided on August 6 at the South Shore Country club, Chicago, I1L. will be Master Harley. F. Woodward, the 15-year-old trapshooting champion of Texas. The national amateur championship is one of the events of the grand Amer ican handicap trapshooting tournament, which takes place August 6 to 9, Inclu sive. ; Great Triumph I Winning a state trapshooting cham pionship is a great achievement, and winning a state title at 15 years Is an even greater triumph. Young Wood ward will not be 16 years of age until August 22. It is needless to predict that the shooting of Master Woodward In the national titular event will be care fully scrutinized. In winning the Texas state cham pionship, young Woodward had to de feat E. F. Forsgard, a veteran. and one of the best shots in the Lone Star state, in a shoot-off at 80 targets. They tied for the championship on 98 breaks. On the shoot-off. Woodward ran 18, 20, 16, 20,, while Forsgard broke 18,20, 16, 19. Broke 71 Straight Forsgard had completed his string In the titular event when young Wood ward was half way. Having missed two targets' the youngster had to break every target to tie and. he did. He fin ished out with a run of 71 successive breaks. On the 650 targets thrown in the state shoot, young Woodward had an average of 95 per cent. That the lad conies from "good shoot ing stock" was demonstrated when his father, E.- F. Woodward won the Texas state handicap with 95 breaks from 20 yards.' Players in Service Will Be Idols of Fans New York. Aug. 3. (I. N. S.) Base ball fans are going to lionize the play ers now in the army when the war ends and they return to the diamond.

But how witt-.the fans receive the players who have left the game for safe employment in munition plants and shipbuilding yards In order, it is charged, to avoid military service? Surely these socalled "slackers" will not enjoy favor when Hank Gowdy, Ed Klepfer, Joe Harris, Jim Scott, Leon Cadore, Sherrod Smith and other soldiers come back to enter tain their fellow citizens on the ball field. , '- Miss Olga Dorfner. the speedy Quaker City sprint swimmer who has been add ing to her laurels in Pacific coast con tests started the aquatic path of fame when 12 years of age.
