The first" big trapshooting event to (be held with the sanction of the National Red Cross was the east and west team race at the Grand Am- lerican Handicap in Chicago early in | August, which the West won by the {margin of two targets in 500. In this event great interest was manifested, due to the fact that the trapshooting supremacy of the East versus the West had long been a {mooted question, and this was re- {flected in the keen, though sports- | manlike, rivalry which character- {ized - the match. t A number of Chicago society lad- es acted as tag' sellers, while the {privilege of refereeing and scoring {on the different traps was auctioned {off to the highest bidder. Then {pools were made on the different entries, and the winner turned his {share over to the Red Cross as his {contribution to the fund. In this { manner, together with a special {novelty event which ran during the | week, about $2,00 was raised for {the Red Cross. | : | DUNBOYNE HELPS LOAN. | Purse Won in Futurity Goes | Bonds. Oct, 4.--When Dunboyne raced to { victory in the rich and historic Fu- | turity at Belmont Park on Sept. 14th, | he"earned $23,360 fer P. A. Clark, | much racing fame for himself and | top rank among the best two-year- { olds of the year. | It turns out now that he-did some- | thing more, He lent an extra boost tothe Fourth United States Liberty Loan. Mr, Clark announced at the Jamai- ca track that the full amount won by Dunboyne in the Futurity would be turned into Liberty bonds and { credited to the total being subscrib- | ed of lovers of racing. | For ; Another Match Race, There is talk of a mile special race at Laurel between Sun Briar, holder j of the American mile record 'of 1.36 { 1-5, made in a race, and Roamer, [ holder of the American record of { 1.34 4-5, made against time for the same distance... Willis Sharpe Kil- mer, owner of Sun Briar, is keen for such a race. Andrew Miller, owner of Roamer, has not signified his at- titude toward the race, but he is a sportsman who, in the past, has nev- er been known to sidestep a reason- able proposition, rn. po-------- TRY Sc Poet Cigar 5c Look for Silk Thread on Tip of Each Olgsr.

Competition for the famous punch bowl, proposed to be. promoted in Seattle," which 'is emblematic of the - north-west championship, been called off for this year, the rea* son being ..given that sentiment across the line was so strongly against any activity except such &3 directly connected with war work, that holding a tournament such 2s this 'might bring golf into disrepute over there. The Victoria, Shaughnessy ani Vancouver clubs had been lined .up, and are disappointed at missing a | chance to compete with golfers in | the Sound City. They are silllj hoping that the tournament wil! he held under Red Cross ausplees, Lut this is for the Seattle clubs lo ar- range. has as Tire of Pro, Hockey Wrangles. Montreal Telegraph: Refusing to profit by the sorry example of pro- fessional baseball, the pro. hockey magnates continue to do their dirty linen washing in public. Expul- sions, suits over cish alleged to be due, suits for MWbel, for conspiracy and what not, furnish a sinister comparison to the circumstances under which professional baseball began to wane in popular esteem. The publie doesn't want it, and won't, stand for it. What the game sadly needs are owners of the Pat- rick type, who keep the sporting spirit rather than the ledger to the fore, and who, show some other capability than getting the money without giving anything In return. The worm will turn presently, and the box office will be as empty as the threats of a new league, Taking No Chances. Jack Dempsey has started werk for the big fight. The sensational rar Westérl heavyweight Is an advo- Late of preparedness. His battle with Battling Levinsky now is leas than two weeks away, and the big fellow plans to leave nothing un done in his training. He wants to make his Philadelphia debut a pro- nounced success, and when he en-! ters the ring against the shifty Levinsky at the Olympia on 'he night of Oet. 9, he intends to be at hig very best. The Toronto Globe says: Eastern papers have carried stories of late to the effect that Willard ("Bill") Box was ready with a certain Toronto team to compete with Ottawa, Mes Gill and Royal Military College in the patriotic series. Nobody ventured 'a guess at the identity of the team, hut it would appear, since last night's meeting of the O.R.F.U., that Box had. the Dentals ready to play in the eastern series provided a place was not found inthe Qutario Union.

Percy Quinn Sectires Ice for Two : 'Teams at Ottgwa. The, latest developments in the professional hockey circles. wilk come 28 a rudé shock *s the eis'ecn hotkey magnates, as Quinn the Shamrock-Toronto agg ega- tion has secured a written option with Owner Ted Dey al. The Ottawa TUK NOT [the use of his rink this scasvn for two teams. This elimi- nates the Ottawa Hockay Club from: tie mse of the lonly avafable rink in Ottawa, unless they coms to terms with the Shamrock magnate. Pércy Quinn also practically ar- ranged with the Toronto Arena for the use of their ice this season. This is subject to a few details, and pro- viding the arrangements are not consummated, which is. unlikely, Hamilton, Quebec and Victoria rink of Montreal are available. With the securing of the Ottawa rink jhe professional series looks as if it will have two teams in Ot- tawa and two in Toronto. | In former vyears. the constant dickering betwen the professional clubs has wedkened public confi- dence, but this year things mre un- dergoing a great change, and Percy Quinn is to be commended in his efforts to get the game back into good standing. As things stand now he' dominates the situation, for where -are clubs going do play if they have mo ice? Good boy, Percy. Peray of WANT $4,500 FOR PICK. San Francisco Club Makes Peamand on Chicago Cubs. Notice has béen served on the Chicago Cubs by the defunct San Francisco club of the deceased Paci- fic Coast League that unless the sum of $4,500 in gold, or its equiva- ient, is forthcoming at once, all the Chicago club's right and title to the services of Charlie Pick will ex- pire. The Cubs teok Pick after tne Pacific Coast League closed, and paid his salary from ' thea until ypSeptembber 15th, although théy were required to pay him only up to and including September 1 Pick re- paid the north side owners by play- ing some good baseball, assisting in the winning of the National League [|] pennant, and looking good in the subsequent defeat inflicted on the Qubs during the world's series. That apparently squared accounts. How th€ San Francisco club fig- ures it 'has anything coming to it is a mystery, unless the coast leagues imagine . Chicago may want to. use Pick after the war is over. The Ottawa football club hasn't heard from Royal Military College as to whether the cadets will play a home afid home series with Ottawa. Anyway, it is not likely that any ar- rangements will be made for the ser- fes until after the first game with McGill University, --_ - and ontreal by the Deparment and A AVOID BATTERY TROUBLES This Winter ""'STORE YOUR BATTERY WITH US Let Us Save You From Storage Battery Trouble This Winter IF YOU LAY UP YOUR CAR - you shbuld store your battery with us.
