1919 TRAPSHOOT SEASON
Mark Arie the “Big” Feature
of the Year.
(By Peter P. Carney.)
Editor National Sports Syndicate.
The year of 1919 was a notable one
>OOI a trapshooting standpoint.
Never was the shooting better. The
performances excelled those of all prev
ous years. Many new records were cs
ablished—and ail in all the year was
he greatest in the history of trapshoot
ng.
The professional and amateur averages
ver the year was the greatest ever com
"ed. The same goes for the long runs.
io 9801 average by Rusn Ttazeo. pro
fessional, supplanted the 98 average
mad*' by Homer Clark several years ago.
Mark Arte’s 9780 average is the best
• ver made by an amateur. The best
revious rtmrk was 9771 by Fred Harlow'.
W oolfo’k Henderson, second in the ama
iu Averages, waR only one hundredth
of one per cent, worse than Arie.
Arie The Real Star.
Arie by the way is the real star of
'919 season. Not only is he the. Illinois
hampion, hut he also is the holder of
the All-round (Hercules) championship:
the holder of the average honors, and
the maker of the longest run of the year
That in the longest run by an amateur.
Arie is a high class shot. They don’t
come much better if they come as good.
Year in and year out you can count on
the Thomasboro shooter being among
those present.
Arie compiled a run of 422, which just
offset the 117 mark made by Jay Gra
ham a half dozen years back. Arie
broke straight at Montfcello, 111., on
July 22, and on July 31, broke 15$
straight at Oilman. 111. His next shoot
was at Bloomington on August 8. and
he broke 150 more. He then went to
Chicago and broke 197 of his first 200,
his first run being that of 56 —which
gave him the fine run of 422—a1l on
registered targets. We know that these
figures are accurate. If Arie shot at
any practice targets we have no record
of it.
Longest Run by Gilbert.
The longest run of the year was made
by a professional. Fred Gilbert of Snfrit
Lake. la. This run of 591 is the best
run ever made as far as we know. The
best one nreviously recorded was 565 by
Charley Spencer back in 1909. Gilbert
made his record on 571 registered tar
gets and 20 practice targets, starting at
Cherokee. la., on July 29 with 18. He
broke lf> practice and 150 registered tar
gets on July 31. at Pocohontas: 10 prac
tice and 150 registered targets at Spirit
Lake on August 4. and 150 more regis
tered targets at the same place on the
following day and at Hampton. on
August 7, he broke 103 before missing.
In 000 targets shot at in these shoots
Gilbert broke 599. Following this miss
Gilbert established n.nother run of 502. of
which number 512 were registered tar
gets.
There were a number of other long
runs made during the year. John Jahn.
a professional. who travels through
lowa, broke 503 straight, of which 428
wore registered targets. He broke 60
straight at DeWitt, ia.; 225 at
Rapids Ta. 150 at Mitchell, S. D., and
f.B ,*t Mt. Vernon, S. D.
Rush* Razee. profession.il, broke 300
straight in the Wyoming State shoot and
In the program of 450 he broke 448 In
the same shoot Sam Sharman, amateur,
broke 253 straight. Homer • ’lark, nro
f - slonal, broke 272 straight in the Mis
sissippi state .shoot and Bart Lewis, also
professional, broke 352 straight at five
different shoots. In the Nebraska state
shoot Lewis broke 583 out of 600 targets
•nd from 22 yards broke 97 out of 100.
This is a quite nifty performance.
Lewis is also the professional cham
pion. having won that title with 200
straight from -8 yards. To Lewis goes
the* honor of having shot at the great
est number of targets—B.39o. The ama
u-ur with the greatest number of targets
shot at Ik George NJcholni, of Kansas
City. Mo. He shot at 7,905.
In th** professional averages it will be
• o i d that Alton, 111., not a ver- large
place. hos two professional shooters In
•i.e first six. v/hich is honor enough for
any place.
Wright a Triple Champion.
Frank Wright, of Buffalo, N. Y . the
American amateur champion, as well as
the champion of New York, also won the
• ’ariudian and International Champion
ship He won this last title with 100
straight and In the International shoot
broke out of 400 targets.
Frank Troeh, who year in and year
•>ut, can be found among the champions,
won the championship, of Washington,
the Open All-round (Hercules) rham
plonshlp. and the 18-rards championship
of the United States He won the Ifc
ysrds championship with 206 straight.
There were more Rhooters out in 1919
than ever before, more targets were
brown, and more tournamentr conduct

One of These Fine Days
There Wil Be Club of Fisher

Editor National Sport 9 Syndicate.
BE A GAME LOSER—AND A
GENEROUS WINNER.
‘‘Sport develops the b&dy," says
A. A. Stagg. director of athletics at
Chicago University in the American
Magazine. “But it also develops
in a man keenness of observation
and quickness of perception. It
makes him react Instantaneously, so
that his decisions are prompt. It
develops initiative more than any
thing eltfe does. A man learns to
think uqickly in an emergency, to be
strategic, to watch his opponent, and
to outwit him if necessary. And
he also learns the invaluable lesson
of cooperation, of team play. He
learns to obey as well as lo lead;
to be a game loser when he must,
and a generous winner when he can.
A good fighter anywhere—in war
in business, or in politics—cannot
be ‘yellow’ or ‘a quitter.’ And in
sport a man learns this.
These are the reasons why I
should like to see every boy and man
ye», and every girl and woman, in
this country take as active a part
as possible in sport. No matter
what, the game, whether St is played
on an athletic field, a battlefield, in
the business arena, or whether it Is
lust the great Game of Life, we want
to play it with courage, honor, and
invincible determination. And I be
lieve there is no better way of learn
ing this than by taking part actively
in clean, honest sport.”
interest in tournament bait and fly
casting is greatly increasing as was evi
denced by the large numbers that at
tended the eleventh annual tournament
of the National Association of Scientific
Angling Clubs and the numerous re
quests that were received afterwards by
this association for literature on the
regulations governing such events.
Recently the Chicago Fly Casting Club
held its championship events and a gal
lerv of some 500 souls witnessed the
competitions. Fly casting hus been
more or le?p of a mystery to a lot of
people, but when the country gets dot
ted with casting clubs as it is now with
rifle and gun clubs there will be noth
ing mysterious about the angling game.
There should be a casting club Hi
every city. There are a number of
them today, but the clubs are few com
pared to the many who fish. At most
of the seaside resorts one wili find
fishing clubs with fine quarters but in
the cities fishing clubs are f«*A* and far
between. The Asbury Bark <N. J.) fish
ing club is now erecting a club house
on Deal Beach at a cost of $40,000. The
quarters will be more like a hotel than
a fishing club, but there will be every
thing there that a fisherman wants.
There will be rest rooms, plenty of lock
ers, private rooms for members to have
their catch of fish cooker and served,
etc. The club will have its own pier.
The objects of a casting club is to pro
mote interest in scientific angling
through fly casting tournaments; to ♦en
courage scientific angling and the art
of fly and bait ''anting, to lend moral
support, to all moves towards true sports
manship; to assist In the propagation of
protection of game fishes and influence
legislation towards this end, and to pro
mote conditions that are incident to the
sport of angling and tournament cast
ing.
The benefits to be derived from such
a club arc many. Through it informalio
can be secured on good fishing grounds,

One of the most exciting of all winter sporls is baseball on the ice. For speed and thrills it has our great national
game backed off the diamond. But It isn't nearly so comfortable tor the spectator?! and yet the fans who watch the
game get bo excited they keep warm.
Most sports on skates are fast and
thrilling, but I believe baseball on the
ice is the beat of all.
Speed marks the principal difference
between the game on ice and that in the
ball yard.
Expert skaters can get up great speed
in a short burst, such as a daah for first
base They can beat the fastest runner.
Outfielders can cover greatf?r territory
and the infielders perform with dazzling

of experiences of fishing trips; the kind
of tackle to use, etc. One can go back
