' ' OHIO MAN A BOOSTER FOR "20'S" Prominent Shooter Thinks Time - Has Arrived for Smalj-Bore Gun at Traps. rThe writer of this article. J. M. Mark ham. is president of the Central Ohio Tramhootera' association and baa been identified with the port for a number of years. He la thorough ly acquainted with the trspshooting situation. FORTY" years ago Ihe twelve-gauge shotgun was unknown at the traps. A ten-pound ten-gauge gun was believed to be the only suitable -weapon with which to break glass balls. , Some years later when a few venture some shooters hasarded the suggestion that the twelve-gauge gun might possi bly be UBed with greater comfort and pleasure they were openly regarded as effeminate cranks, and only after a con siderable period of insistence were the rules amended, granting to this small and troublesome minority a concession of two yards, providing they were .will ing to be so foolish and conspicuous as to appear at the traps with this toy gun (the twelve-gauge). Now the Interstate Trapehootlng as sociation rules do not permit a larger gun. Has Time Arrived Has the time arrived for the introduc tion of the twenty-gauge gun at the traps? Will the twenty-gauge gun even tually supplant the twelve-gauge gun as the twelve hasaupplanted the ten? My experience has not been sufficient to positively reply, but I believe an affirmative answer may be given to both questions. Ten years ago upon the suggestion of that splendid gentleman and sportsman (the terms are synonymous). Captain A. W. du Bray, I substituted the twenty for the twelve for upland shooting, and I have not gone afield since" without feeling gratitude for his sound advice. I made the change, as the fisherman lightens his tackle, not with the thought of increasing the bag, but in anticipa tion of greater enjoyment in the smaller gun ; that its successful use might re quire greater skill was one appeal, and anyway (to borrow from Captain dti Bray's argument), "Why break a but terfly on a wheel?" To my surprise the bag was not les sened ; the relative absence of fatigue and the greater rapidity of handling more than offset the lessened charge of powder and shot Of course, the twenty-gauge pattern is less dense at a given distance, but this inequality may be ""perfectly ad justed by distance handicap. Is it a sound argument to say that at 16 yards' rise a "12" in the hands of a physically vigorous man will break more clay birds than a "20"? The "10" has the same superiority over the "12." Equalized With 1!-Gangeg Trapehootlng has a debit and a credit side. To the former must be charged expense and consumption of resources (brass, copper, paper, lead, etc.), to the latter must be credited the promotion of health, character and pleasure, to say nothing of the desirability of familiarity with firearms, a recent almost . vital necessity. How will th adoption of the "20" affect the debit and credit columns and the corresponding "balance" lrt trap shooting? The great army of trapshooters are now equipped with, the twelve-gauge gun, which they are constantly chang ing and replacing; perhaps half of them have changed to the single barrel within the last two or three years. It is not suggested that, the good, old "12" be arbitrarily deposed or that it be dis criminated against in any way, but is there any reason why, by careful experi ment, the distance handicap required to exactly equalize these two guns should not be determined and the twenty-gauge given an equal chance with, the twelve-gauge? It's Easy to Explain why my clothes values are supe rior to those of the street-level .stored First I conduct my business upstairs a great saving in rent.

He has trained himself to step a fast four rounds and bas refused to take seriously repeated warnings that Ritchie packs a sleep producing wallop In Ms right hand. "I shall be returned the winner In Friday's boutr -said Benny yesterday. "And I am not underestimating WlUie'a class. But the former champion Is on the down grade, while. I am improving all the time. I figure that I'm faster and a better boxer than Ritchie and I know that I am a harder hitter. I have nothing to fear of the outcome." ' , Chance for Croit The champion will have to carry the fight to Ritchie, and this, they say, will ' give the latter a chance to slip over Ms famous right cross. Students of the game here also point out that In Ritchie Leonard is meeting a seasoned veteran, a cool, shrewd fighter, with a sleep-producing wallop in his right mitt, Both fighters were resting today for the contest and both voiced predictions of victory. Leonard is not going to let anybody know what he weighs except Billy Gibson. Was Former Sparring Partner .
