Expected in This Year's CompetitionChair man Pearson Expects Record -Breaking Entry List Semi- Final Round of Portland Club' Event Billed Today.' PLAY in the men's annual golf championship tournament of the Waverley Country club will start next Saturday with the qualifying round. There isan unusual amount of interest in this year's competition and. many close matches are expected. xThe battle for the championship crown promises to be a.hard f ought one, as nearly all the Waverley players who composed the victorious team in the Punch Bowl 'competition at Seattle a fort night ago will be entered in the competition Chairman W. E. Pearson of the handicap committee expects one of the largest fields that ever teed-off in a club event to turn in cards. Play in the qualifying round will be' over 18 holes, the low 16 to qualify for the match play rounds. The first .round . of the match play competition Is scheduled for October 21. The third, semi-final and final rounds " nil! be played on the following days. Among those who have a chance to vln the championship are Dr. O. T. Willing. Russell Smith. Forest Watson. Andy White, Jack Straight, Kills J. Bragg, Ernest Ingles, R. I Macleay. All these players, save Macleay. were members of the Punch Bowl team. The Waverley course is In splendid shape for the tourney and it would not be surprising If some ' of the players turned in cards near par figures. Chairman Pearson may arrange for . competition for the players who fail to qualify for the championship rounds. The club did not stage a tournament last year on account of the war. In the semi-final round of the Port land Golf club championship tournament to be staged over the Raleigh course to day, Dr. O. T. Willing will meet George Janes, formed star tennis player, and Rudolph Wllhelm will play C. N. Samp son. Willing and Wllhelm are likely to ' be finalists, which means that the followers of the game, will have a chance te see two of the best players in the state in action next Sunday. Wlillng's efforts on the links this sea- son- have been very successful. He won - the Gearhart tourney and was runner up In the- city link championship event, losing in the finals to Johnny Rebstock. Willing was very much off his game in bin match with Rebstock. ' Wllhelm ' has not played' very much golf , this season, but those who have wit nessed his play in the first and second -rounds state that' he is the cam a steady ' player as In pant seasons. HOME RUNS SCARCE IN BIG GAMES Former Athletic Third Basemafi - And Larry Gardner Have Made Three Each. H OME run smashes In the world's se ries are few and far between these days. Joe Jackson, who drove out a four base wallop in the final game of the Reds-White Sox series last Thursday, was the twenty-first player to clout out a homer in the 15 years that American and National clubs have clashed In the blue ribbon event of the diamond. Coralakey's park and the Redland field are two of the hardest parks in the -majors in which to make circuit drives. Jackson ia the second Sox play er to make a homer in the big series in the Chicago park, Felsch having accom plished the feat in 1917. Frsmlt . Baker Is the best known of home run hitters In these . big games, and it was due to bis heavy atlckwork against Mathewson and Marquard in '1911 that the Trappe Mauler was called ,"Hom Run" Baker. He has hit three circuit wallops In these big games, a mark that Larry Gardner, formerly with the Red Sox and now with the Cleveland Indians, tied In 1916. The complete list of home run hitters In world's series games up to this year follows : Baker. Athletics. 3 ; Gardner, Red Sox. 3 ; Dougherty, Bed Sox, 2 ; Clark. Pirates, 2; Kauff. Giants, 2; Hooper, Red Sox, t : Bebring, Pirates : Tinker, Cubs ; D. Jones, Tigers;" Crawford. Tigers; D, Murphy. Athletics : Oldrlng. Athletics; Doyle, Glanta; Schang, Athletics ; Mer kle.

IDAHO IS FIGURING HARD GAME Coach Bleamaster Hopes to Give Lemon-Yellow lough Battle ' , Despite" Injuries.! JtTOSCOW. Idaho, Oct. 1L A double header football attraction is an nounced at the University of Idaho for Saturday, October 18, when the Univer sity of Oregon meets the Idaho team. A "curtain raiser" between the f resh man teams of Idaho and Washington State college has been arranged. Captain Breshears of the Idaho team has given up hope of being in the Ore gon game, as his shoulder is still very painful and the doctor requires him to keep his arm In a sling. Two strong men, Percy, O'Brien, a real Irishman, from Coeur d'Alene and James Whit comb of Lewlston, are candidates for Captain Breshears' place in the game with Oregon, and both are working hard to fit themselves. Neil Irving and "Chick" Kvans. back field men, who were Injured when Cap tain Breshears was knocked out in the freshman game, have recovered suf ficiently to be back in their places, and it Is believed they will bo ire the game against Oregon. Coach Bleamaster said, "t hope that Gerlough and Thompson and Irving and Breshears will be able to take part in the game with Oregon, but If they do not recover from their Injuries by that time, our second string of back field men will be able to give Huntington's team quite an earnest argument." The Oregon game is the first of the season and there Is much speculation here as to how the team will act. Idaho team goes to Salt Lake to play the University of Utah in the first game of a two years' contract on October 25. THE first pow-wow and shoot of the Atlantlo Indians will take place at the T ravers island home of the New York Athletic club on Friday and Satur day, October 24 and y 25. The pow-wow and shoot is being held at Travers Is land through the courtesy of- the New York. Athletic club. ; Like all shoots given, by i Indian or ganizations this will be an invitation affair. The Atlantic Indians are just blooming. One of these days the Indian organisations will dominate the . trap shooting world, if they continue' their fine work. In the middle west we have the American Indians, the' first and recognised as" the parent body.- ' On the west oast there U the Paoifte Indiana and in Canada, the Canadian Indiana.

Traps' "Ty" Tells of Success s n s s st ft s s Practiced With Muzzle Loader By Charles G. Spencer Hichert Arentr Tnpshooter for Prt Tn Tean Tf SEEMS to me the principal -- thing In this world is getting started. Everything has to have a start Business, railroads, govern ments, even automobiles and some times these require some hard work before they sfart Nevertheless, the start has to be made in everything, sometime. Of course this is true of shooting.' There Is always the start and often it Is very painful to the shooter, and more so to the gallery, when they watch all those perfectly good "clay pigeons" breaking, but not in the air. STARTED WHEN YOUWO After 30 years at the scatter gun game, I can lookback with a great . deal of pride to my etast as a trap ' shooter. When I was 13 years old I' was given a small rifle. This answered very well until I began to visit the gun club with my father, a dentist, who was a. member and shot for pastime In his spare mo menta when teeth stopped aching. My home folks would not think of allowing me to handle a shotgun, and it was after I was 15 years of age that, unknown to them. I man aged to borrow, a 14 gauge, single barrel, muszle loader. I could have the use or this old gun whenever I wanted it. My father, as I said, was a 'dentist and I would help him around the laboratory. He kept his powder and shot In the laboratory and what. I was able to borrow from him Sup plied my muzzle loader from week, to week. I generally managed , to keep a week's supply ahead, too. On aft ernoons when,' they were shooting at the gun club. I would, take a chum along, borrow the; old gun and get my "buddie" to carry it thereby avoiding Ul suspicion in case one of my folks happened to discover us. THE BEGINKI3JG -i , We would hike down to" the creek, - near the club ground, wait until the shooters were, all through and away, gather a few-wads from, the ground and proceed to load the old gun. In the TOeafltlme." tny chunvvand Tper-1 haps some . other.., boys who had trailed along.-would gather the clays ' , from the ground, both whole and pieces mostly pieces. The boys " were the traps and would jsall the " targets off n all directions, v After a bit of practice it did not seem .to matter where they t threw them, I could score "Dead. - .... - When I see a handtrap in opera- - tion I laugh as 1 think of our crude efforts toHhrow targets by hand. Of course, at the: start. I missed the. flying, clays same as any other -beginner, but after a year , or so, very-few reached the ground whole or at least, without ' me hitting : ' them. The boys would pick out a ' . spot they thought I couldn't swing s ! . around .to aim heave for "It,, but -. old Mr." Muzzle", loader and myself ' " understood one' another W welt that we just naturally couldn't migs.'This " sort of practice helped me on "quarter" birds later on. All this time my folks never knew or suspected that I was fooling with . ehotgun. Probably it was a good thing for me they didn't. I might have been treated to a good licjcing. Finally, after watching the shoot ers at the club several times, I mus tered up courage and Informed ray, father that I could do better than any of them. He looked at me in amazement for a minute and I was a scared kid. Then I told him about my practice with the muzzle loader. SPENCER'S FIRST TOURNAMENT After I found my father did listen I persisted in my demands that I be permitted to ' enter a match and either, for a joke or to see me waste good powder and shot on the air, dad gave me my - chance and start. The men -were shooting SO cent sweeps and after I made good in my trial, I got in on everything, came out a winner and walked home, rattling the results in my pockets. Ever since, I am glad to say, I have kept pretty close to the top. Recently I visited and had dinner with my dear old mother. She brought out the first two trophies I ever won, two silver goblets, do nated to the Central Illinois, Sport men's association by a St Louis con cern. In 1889. These were In competi tion at Jerseyville, III. They brought back the fond recollections of my first honors and perhaps the proudr est time in my life. One cup rep resented the high amateur average and the other, the Open high average- I won them both at the same shoot.. I think'in August. 1889. There also was a gold medal for the cham pionship of Central Illinois and a hammerless gun. I tledl with my 'father in another event at this shoot. . My success as a professional trap shooter , I , attribute greatly to -my love JL or the . game. There is a fas- clnatlon about It which is hard to explain.' but -once It getsVinto a 1 shooter. It never leaves him. whether its the clay pigeon sailing away, the bang of your gun-or the. clay, shat tered and falling to pieces, or all of these together, I cannot say, but the fascination, is there and we all get It if we follow ahootlrig." v . After the several hundred thousand shots I 'probably have; fred..I atlll am, just as ardent , a lover ef. , the game as the stmon. pure amateur L love It even- more than I did .when a boy; with the ' okl muzsle -. loader. - ;, : -: v Ohi State..

N. &) Two weeks hence, the football team of Georgia Tech Is going to trot out on the gridiron at Forbes, field, in Pitts burg, to meet the .University of Pitts burg eleven. Every thought Is of Pitts burg, and every move ia dedicated to the proposition that Pitt must be beaten. It was Pitt that took-the Golden Tornado over the jumps at. Forbes field in the . City of Smoke last . fait and be smirched a record that was clean there tofore Pittsburg did more than Just beat Tech In that gam. She just com pletely outclassed and thoroughly sub dued the lads from Dixie at every twist and turn. It was little short of amaz ing 'to the crowd that had gathered to witness what bade fair to be the strug gle of the year to see the Pitt line mow down the vanishing Georgia line. The tornado was a blighted zephyr that had strayed .Into abandoned cuts and creeks and was lost to the world. Nothing went right for Tech in that game. The Heisman jump shift that had beaten down all opposition by scores that' had the football fans wondering broke against the .Pittsburg line waves beat In futile fury against the rugged shores. The backs. Flower and the great Guyon, that had defied all defense, were buffeted about until they scarce could believe their numbed senses. Play after play on the attack was wrecKea. xara alter yard . was torn through their line when 'Pitt had the ball. Tech has never forgotten the lesson learned In tnat game.' But that is a thing of the past- now. Tech looks to the future with high hopes, looking for ward to October 25, when they again can test their strength against "Pop" Warner's Panthers.
