■More Than 600 Marksmen Strive for Grand American Handicap Laurels Tod?y.
CHICAGO, Au*. 26—Trapshooting s premier event —the Grand American Handicap—was scheduled to be held today at the South Shore Country Club. More than 600 marksmen were ready to pull triggers in an effort to ach eve the highest honor possible to a trapshooter. No shooter ever has succeeded in winning tie Grand American Handicap twice and It was expected that a “dark horse” would emerge from today's shooting with the coveted priie. ihe event last year was won by A. L. Ivins with a mark of 99 and a nineieen-yard Uandilap. Only once In the history of the event baa the winner achieved a perfect score. In 1910 R.

VET ADAMS STRIVING MIGHTIEST TO GET IN ANOTHER SERIES
By WALTER V. MERRITT, International News fir* Correspondent. PITTSBURGH, Pa., Aug. 26.—Pittsburgh is baseball crazy this year. It's a million to one bet that Pittsburgh will win the National League, flag, the natives hereabouts will tell you. But there is a touch of pathos iu this great race. Charles B. C'Babe”) Adams, gentleman, clean living athlete, is 38 and about done in big time baseball. Adams knows it and admits it. In 1909—twelve long years ago— Adams, iu the world's series that year, was the hero. Then nothing more than a rookie, he won three games of the series. It was nip and tack between Pittsburgh and Detroit, and Kid Adams separated the Tigers from the world's
Kelly Well on Way to Break Home Run Mark for the National Loop
George Kelly, with twenty-two home runs to his credit, has au opportunity to break tbo National League record for circuit drives in a season. The best mark made in the older major loague since it was organised in 1876 is that of Ed Williamson of the 1883 Chicago club, twenty-seven homers. In later years Buck Freeman hit twenty-five homers with the Washington Nationals in 1809 The best homo-ruu mark in recent rears was that of Cravath, twentyfour in 1913. Kelly has bit for the circuit this year ou every National League field except those at Boston and St. Louts. His complete 1921 record to dale is as follows: Man on Bases April 13—Against Philadelphia 1 April 16—Against Philadelphia 2 April 21—Against Philadelphia 0 April 22 —Against Philadelphia 0 April 27—Against Brooklyn 1 ’April 30—Against Boston * Mav 2—Agniust Boston 1 May 12-Against St. Louis 3 June 1 Against Philadelphia 1 June 27—Against Philadelphia 1 July 4—Against Brooklyn 0 July 4—Against Brooklyn 2 July 12—Against St..

championship. He was the wonder pitcher of that time. Some years since then the great “Babe” didn't play the greatest brand of baseball extant. Half a dozen years ago they said he was through, and it did at times look like it. But last year "Kaba" took a brace. He has been a popular idol hereabouts for a long time. Win or lose, the gang was always for him, and they boosted him when they were roasting other players. GIBSON STARTED LAST SUMMER. But Manager George Gibson made wonderful progress last year toward a flag-winning team, but he couldn't Suite come across. During the winter lbby plotted and schemed, and ho swapped and dickered until this spring he had a promising-looking team when they went to training oamp. After the season opened and ritts burgh set the pace the croakers said it was a spring flash, and the Pirates would blow up, but they are still going good. Realizing that Pittsburgh would come mighty near having a winning team this year, "Babe” Adams determined bo would pitch In one more world's series. He has his heart set on that, and the smiling veteran haa been pitching his bend off all season, and every time you see Adams chalk up on the score boards us the pitcher you can get your money down that ITtteburgh Is pretty sure to win that game. Pittsburgh Is hungry for a pennant. It has cast sheep’s eyes at the pennant for a long tlmo lu vain. Adams wants to stand up before a world's series mob once more. “I can do Just as fine work as I did in 1909," he says. The fans here will favor him to pitch when it comes to those heart (breaking, desperate thLs-oue-to-win-the flag games. If ho wins and Pittsburgh wins. Adams is coutent to quit while the quitting is good H may bo persuaded possibly to play one more year with the Pirates, but some doubt It. "I cannot explain my lasting much longer than many other pitchers ou any other theory than this: 1 always take things ensv, and I never worry. I discovered many years ago that when I exerttrt xuvaeli I wus not Ro .or the mere effort of trying to be uncommonly good distracted my mind from the simple task of pitching. The new changes in pitching rules have bothered many of the veterans, but I do not mind them very much. My only kick was the rule which prevented a pitcher from rubbing the gloss off a bull. Now the umpires do that, and everything Is O. K. CONFIDENT HE CAN DELIVER. . •I am confident that I could pitch one or two more years, perhaps even longer, but I am not certain that I want to

make that effort. I have traveled around the circuit so many times that I am tired of it all, and, as much as I like baseball, nothing would please me better, when this season is over, than to retire to my Missouri farm and confine my’ connections with baseball henceforth to reading about big games in the sporting pages.” What sort of a chap Is “Babe” Adams? Well, briefly, he is the most likeable svrt of a fellow you ever met. He has the sunniest, disposition and even temper that ever bl-ssed a man. His private life is clean, his habits correct, and he is ever a gentleman. But. what Is more, he Is Pittsburgh's nopular idol. The fans here hope he wins another world's championship flag. They would probably give him the town with the great Carnegie Institute thrown in, if he does. When Adams goes to the mound in the coming world series he will have several of his old 1909 teammates to whoop ’em for him. First of all, there will be George Gibson, now manager of the Pirates. Who then was a catcher with Adams. Then there will be Honus Wagner, rowings, habv, bull pup, and all. Likewise, there will be Deaeon Phlllipoe, pho pitched in that great world scries, tind Fred Cla.-ke is coming al! the way from his home in Kansas. The old time Pirates will back Adams to the sky with their cheers and their rolls.
