J : When the national amateur cham pionship eent was called in' the Grand American Trapshooting tour nament held recently at the South Shore Couutry club in Chicago, the word came down the line in the usual mysterious manner to "keep your eyes on Larson of Wisconsin.' Larson had broken ninety-nine clays- to win the championship of his home state, being "some shooter." Larson had got off at the wrong station on the way to thevshooting grounds anrWiis squad shot without his in the Chicago Overture event. There was only one event left in which Larson might distinguish him self. ' That was the Grand American handicap. It was this event in which Larson was picked to do his best shooting. He went out on the first day wtih 79 in 80, and just as soon as his score was posted many others began to pay attention to him. The fact that he was shooting from twen ty yards indicated that he was wor thy. In his final twenty targets Lar son missed one target, and Mark Arie of Thomasboro, 111., who also had 79 in 80, dropped one, so that there was a tie for the Grand Amer ican handicap at 98. Arie was shoot ing from twenty-two yards the back mark." It isn't every shooter, after missing his first target and shooting against one of the best trapshooters. in the world, would have had the courage to continue as Larson did. Larson is of the stuff froth which real cham pions are made. He missed the sec ond target in the second string, giv ing Arie the advantage. Arie missed his thirteenth target and Larson fol lowed suit. Arie missed three more, nut Larson was through; missing. That is the reason that I Waupaca, Wis., is talked about so much these dais. Larson is the owner of the general grocery and market in Waupaea. He opined he could make use of the $743.40 he won in puling a little paint on tne om nomesteaa, buying a tew pairs of shoes and lifting the mort gage on the farm. Larson is 24 years old, the youngest trapshot to win the Orand American handicap. He is- a sturdv vouth-stronc as the nrn- Verbial bull and chilly as the day was when the shooting took place, Larson fired at the clays in a shirt with the sleeves cut off at the elbows. Others with much more clothing on were chilled through, but not Larson. He had more important things on his mind than thinking about the weather.

LATONIAcRACES ATTRACT STARS Cream of Horse World Entered in October Meeting; Eighty Six Nags to Weed ' Out. FAYORITES WIN IN GRAND CIRCUIT v. Butt Hale Outclasses All Other Two-Four Pacers; Kelley De Forrest Walks Away With the Trot. The announcement of the entries to the stake events to (be decided at the coming Latonia meeting, which opens October 13, shows that the cream of the horse world is going to compete at this meeting. A few of the big eastern stables failed to enter, includ ing auch ones as August Belmont and Whitney,- blit neither of them has much left, as sickness and accidents have robbed them of tliejrstar per formers. Belmont's Hourless. the only rival' of Omar Khayyam has been on the ailing list for some time. His great 2-year-old Lucillite was kicked recently and will be out of racing for som? time. About the only 2-year-old in the country which is not entered in the Queen City, championship stakes is Sun Briar, winner of the Hopeful But with eighty-six to choose from that stake is going to be some pump kins. It will be the hst big event of the year for the baby racers, and as j they will be asked, to go a mue it means the, winner will receive as much consideration for the year's championship honors as will the win ner of the Futurity or the Hopeful. Quite certain it is that the winner of this event will be the ruling fa vorite for the Kentucky Derby to hf, run the following May. The Latonia cup racfj is a corker, too. When one can get forty of the best 3-year-olds and ovqr in the coun try to enter for a two-mrle ana a quarter race it is some task. And every one of the entrants possesses class. That list is headed by the great champion, Omar Khayyam, al though he will have stout opposition from Clematis II, Roamer, Tickett, Bella Desmond, and a score of otht good eastern and western horses.

Four class events were raced yesterday in the fifth day's meeting of the grand circuit; in every event a favorite was victor. No stakes were on' the pro gram and the class events proved to furnish little competition, even in the split heat events, the 2:12 pace and the 2:12 trot. , Horses that dropped a heat through a mistake won the other three rather impressively. The 2:04 pacers were so outclassed by Butt Hale that he had to do none of his miles in better than 2:05 to win. Ima Jay also had an easy team, winning the 2:12 trot in slow time, save for the second heat.

The new owners were capable business men with plenty of money to spend andi uie inclination to spena u. The result goes to prove that no amount of money can pitch, bat or play the outfield. A fortune has been spent in building up a club and yet its highest hope appears to be to finish in the first division. Not much was expected of the team the first year, since it had to be completely rebuilt. Last season it started off bravely and even was leading the league in July, only to finish in fourth place. .This year high hopes were entertained for the Yankees, but they have come to nothing, N Their failure cannot justly be charged to the owners, the manager or the scouts. Never has rrtofe effort been expended upon a club and never has a club had such a continued series of misfortunes. In the three, years of the new regime there is hardly a man who has not At one time or an other been out of the game, lnjrles or iltsess have followed the Yankees in unbroken succession. Almost never have they been able to put their full strength in the field. Every regular lias been out of the game somewhere from five days to five months. Bill Donovan was laid jip with iht grippe. Home Run Baker came to tne team witn a paa hand and later broke his ribs, and hurt his legs. Maisel and Gilhooley have broken collar bones and Gilhoo ley broke his leg. High and Bau mann both had blood poison. In addition to this, Baumann was spiked and hit in th eye with a thfown ball. ' ' .Caldwell had a bad finger on his pitching hand and an injured knee. Nunamaker had tonsilitis and was s"piked. Peckinpaugh was out with a twisted back. Shocker and Mo ridge pulled ligaments in their arms. Walter Pipp sprained his ankle. Walters was spiked, and Hendryx had a bad leg. Alexander had a split fin ger. Lee Magee had various injuries, and Joe Gedeon was forced to un Hfrcrn an ooeration. Marsans had scarcely settled himself in his new,l ;i berth1 when he broke his ankle. UnrtH. . the Yankees manage to secure some nonbreakable players they never will be pennaiit'Contenders. World's Bantam Champ Quits Ring Until After the War New Orleans, La., Sept. 22. Pete Herman, world's bantamweight cham pion, today announced he had rejected the $6,000 offer of loca) promoters for a twenty-round bout here with Frankie Burns of Jersey City. He de clared he had quit the ring until after the war. Herman was drafted into the national army and will soon report at the training camp. "They will' play with their cards on the table at the next Western league meeting or I'll kick over the table." That was the manner in which Ed Hanloii, owner of the St. Joseph base ball team, expressed himself as to the comingmeeting of the league mag nates, which is to be held in St) Jo seph 'soon, and as he was standing near Pa Rourke, boss of the Omaha team, when he made the remark, and the Omaha owner chimed in with a similar remark, it is evident'that there is to be something stirring in the hid den receascs of that meeting. Politics are to be eliminated from the Western league circles, If it is possible to do so and in their stead are to be substituted business principles. A new faction nas arisen within the league and it is believed that this fac tion controls things pretty well; cer tain it is that they control the finances of the league in good style, s This branch is composed of Ed Hanlon, W. A. Rourke, Tom Fair weather, owner of the Des Moines team, and John Savage of the Joplin team. On the other side are Jack Holland of Hutchinson, Frank Isbell of Wichita and possibly Hugh Jones of Denver. The alignment of Ducky Holmes is expected to be with the Hanlon-Rourke crowd for Lincoln wants in on the new league, which is being planned and will stick with the big four. After, One Magnate. " But here is the most interesting thing which is to develop. One of the magnates owes the league havily ! and when the league meeting is called and he attempts Jo cast his vote these other men the quartet of monied in terests, plan to hold to the constitu tion of the league and refuse to allow him a voice in the matters of the league's ' affairs. That is certain to cause a row at the outset of the meet ing and a lively session is certain from that time on for this magnate is also a scrapper and will die hard. Hanlon and Rourke have expressed themselves as disgusted with the league as it stands. "The league is a joke," said Rourke in St. Joseph the other day, "Think of such towns as Hutchinson being in a league with such cities as Omaha and St. Joseph. Its all wrong and such a circuit can not last." . . Talk of New Loop. I The talk of- forming a new circuit with Minneapolis, St. Paul, Milwau kee and Kansas City as four of the towns an3 St. Joseph, Omaha, Lin coln and Des Moines as the remain der is serious. It all sounds, "fishy" but the magnate-of all these cities have ban conferring with reference to the proposition and there is a feel ing that because of the war it might not be a bad plan o figure, out a circuit of these proportions. ; It , is figured that the increase of interest in the Western league teams would more than make up for any lack, of interest at the outset in the four association towns. At any rate there is to be "some thing doing" at this meeting, and It is to be -interesting throughout every moment fit its stormy session. And that it will be stormy is assured for no words are to be minced. It is to be no milk nor water affair and none of the magnates will break their legs in any mad rush to buy peace drinks or smokes for the others. Its a fight to the finish this time and when the smoke has cleared there will undoubt edly be a new Western league on the map. , , A.E. o o 534 662 606 1852 Totals.. 35 1 33 16 1 Totals.. 36 4 39 14 3 Cleveland 0 0 0 0 l i v ii Philadelphia tOOOOOOCTOO 01 Two-basVhlt: H"1.
