As the trapshooting body had in-

mittee that it would take care of the
expenses of the trapshooters the only
thing for them to do was to go

of Jay Slark, Jr, of Worcester, Mass.;
E. P. Mathewson of Antbonda, Mont.,
and Ralph H. S potts, of New York,
with Mr. Clark as the representative
to the American Olympic Committee.
-The original idea for the sending
a team of trapshooters to Belgium was
the selection of the ten highest men in
the 1919 averages on 2,000 or more
targets, but with the failure of the
voluntary contribution plan, this
' scheme died too, and the present idea
of the Committee, as we understand
it is to send not more than ten men
who will pay their own expenses and
who will agree to practice the Contin
ental style of shooting for some time
previous to the Olympic matches.
