THRILLS IH SHGOTIHG AT DOUBLE TARGET INTEREST SPECTATORS - . Double target shooting lias more
thrills for spectators than any other style of smashing clay birds, and therefore it is expected that the gallery on the Absecon Boulevard, Atlantic City, New Jersey, will be very large on Tuesday, Sept. 12, the second day of the 1922 Grand American Clay Target championships. On thi3 day both the amateur and professional championships at double targets will be contested. Another feature event which is expected to interest the gallery is the Junior Trapshooting championship. In this event boy3 ranging in age from ten to eighteen years will shoot at 100 single targets to determine which of the youths is entitled to wear the trapshooting crown. Two Birds Sprung In double target shooting, two clay birds are sprung from the trap simultaneously. One flies to the right, the other to the left, and the shooter is permitted two shots, one at each of the targets. This style of shooting approximates more nearly than any other the shooting at birds in the field. A skilled performer can provide a thrill for the spectators every time he shoots at a pair, for he must be constantly on the alert to anticipate the
varying: flieht of the targets which
may be caused by wind conditions.
There are a number of trapshooters who, because of the difficulties surrounding it, would rather win the double target championship than any other event on the Grand American tournament program. At Atlantic City the amateurs will be shooting at
a mark of 96 out of 100. C. B. Piatt, Bridgeton, New Jersey, holds this record. The present holder of the amateur double target championship it.' R. A. King of Delta, Colorado, who smashed 94 out of 100 at Chicago last year. ' This year, for the first time, the double target race is at 100 pairs, or 200 targets. This makes it a genuine test of skill and endurance. The doubles will be shot in eight events, four of 10 pairs (20 targets), and four of 15 pairs (30 targets), alternating. The winner will receive the A. T. A. championship medal. To Shoot at 100 Pairs The professionals also will shoot at 100 pairs to determine the champion in their division. Last year was the first for the professional double target ra.ee. and the winner was Mark Arie,
Champaign, 111., who broke 93 out of
100.
For the trapshooters who may not care to compete for the double target championships there will be a contest at. 100 single targets, 16-yards rise,
known as the Atlantic City introduc
tory. The junior championship wm h a nart of the Atlantic City introduc
tory, but the boys will be placed in squads together so that the spectators
may follow them aown me hub. NEVER PAYS TOSEE
GREAT SPORT EVENTS
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 22. "OneEyed" Connelly, the world's champion patt. rrasher. was in Cleveland today.
Connelly has seen all of the world's "greatest sporting events of the past decade without cost to himself. He
was given the Air no less than 10 times at the Dempsey-Carpentier fight "But I saw it," he adds, by way of dramatic conclusion. "One Eye" was on his way to Michigan City for tho Dempsey-Brennan brawl, when he learned the bout was off. It takes Connelly several days to mako the trips since he does not travel in a Pullman drawing room. On learning there would be no fight, he disappointedly headed back to pick up vhe Grand circuit races for . a few weeks.

Horse Bought For $5 Makes Millions For Its Lucfy Owner
By FRANK G. MENKES Turfdom knows no romance beyond
Dan Honig and his $5 horse the same animal who started him upon his meteoric racing career.
Honig always was a horse lover. His
greatest ambition was to own a racer. But through his earliest years he never realized it, for race horses, even
the cheapest, were selling far beyond
Honig's meagre means.
One afternoon Honig was attracted to a horse auction in St. Louis, his home town. He arrived at a time
when all the fancy horses had been
sold. Only a few seeming culls were left. It was growing late, the crowd had thinned out and the auctioneer wanted to get home. Quickly Sold. So he didn't quibble much over the bids. Most of the "mutts" were sold to the first bidder. In darkness they
trotted out the last horse of the lot
a coal black animal. "How much am I bid?" demanded
the auctioneer. No one spoke up
largely because no one wanted him. But Honig did. He waited until the auctioneer failed to get any bids. Then he said: "I bid $5." It was all he had. "Sold for $5 yelled the auctioneer.
Honig led his horse home. He put him in his barn, where the animal
promptly proceeded to make Honig a poorer man by his oat and hay glut
tony.
After a week or so, Honig decided that horse owning wa3 too expensive.
He decided to sell his black horse

lover of the race track as his father.
ed by serving notice upon Honig that further entries of his horses would be refused. "All right," retorted Honig. "Ill build a race track of my own and put Gutenberg out of business." Honig built the Gloucester track In New Jersey, and true to his threat, eventually took so much business away from Gutenberg that it closed in bankruptcy. Meanwhile, Honig now
nicKnamea "The King of Gloucester" was adding to his vast fortune. He controlled most of the booking stalls and owned most of the horses.
He counted his daily winnings in the tens of thousands. Fortune smiled upon him with its most wondrous smile.
A legislature, hostile to racing, came into power. The Gloucester track was closed. That was the start of Honisr's
misfortune. From that time on everything went wrong for him. His vast
tortune dwindled and when he died, two years or so ago, there was little or nothing left of the millions he once owned all through possession of a $5 race horse. (Copyright lJttl By King Feature Syndicate, Inc.) CHAMPIONS MADE BY COME BACK ABILITY

Give Horse Name. The horse had to have a name. The stable boys thought "Nigger" was appropriate. But Honig christened him "All Black." The bookies opened All Black at 100 to 1 and Peaches Honig plunged the family bankroll $5 on his nose. All Black won the race by 20 lengths, pulled up. Right then and there Honig figured he had a real race horse. So Honie
and Peaches and All Black promptly shipped themselves to the Gutenberg track in New Jersey, across the river from New York. It cost about threefifths of their bankroll. All Black was entered in a race immediately upon his arrival. The bookies had no record of him and no one at Gutenberg ever had seen him work. - So they laid 500 to 1 against him. Honig and his son bet $100 on his nose and they won exactly $50,000, when All Black tow roped his field. With that fortuna of his command, Honig bought a racing stable. In a week he had 10 horses in his stable. His luck was phenomenal. His horses won nearly every start. In a few weeks Honig had cleaned up over
$1,000,000 and ruined a score of bookmakers. -The remaining bookies appealed t? the Gutenberg racing authorities to save them from Honig. They respond-
Failure of Art Oleson to maintain the great pace he hit for Ty Cobb ' early in the season hasn't hurt his nrpstrce in Detroit. Cobb and Tiger
fans believe the young pitcher has the making of a great pitcher. It was too much to expect that, in his first year up he could keep up the terrific gait he set. This is only Oleson's second year in pro ranks. He jumped from a Perkersburg. Pa., independent team in 1920 to the Syracuse club in the International League last year, and proceeded to draw attention. He on 14 and lost 14 games for Syracuse which was a worthy effort considering that the team finished in sixth place. In one game against Reading he fanned 10 players eight in the first five innings.

There are flocks of maior league
baseball players who can hit like demons with two down and none on bases. The big winners of all sports are those who have the kick in the pinch. Down at Delanco, N. J., where Lew Tendler was training for his fight with Benny Leonard, someone told Tendler that Leonard had said that he had been knocked down by every good man he had ever fought. "Did he say that I got nn every
time?" Tendler commented. ' "When Gene Sarazen was piling up what looked like the championship card in the national open championship at Skokie, a friend told him that Walter Hagen, one of his most dangerous rivals, was not going good on his last round. ' "I'll have to look out then, because that's when Hasen's at his very best," Sarazen replied. Urban Shocker, star pitcher of the St. Louis Browns, is one of the gamest pitchers in baseball. In a tight game with the New York Yanks late last summer. Shocker put two on with none out. It looked like a blow and it seemed certain when he filled the bases. "Well, the inning's over boys," one of the St. Louis scribes said "That bird's the greatest pitcher in baseball with the bases filled." ' The rally was over, too. He got the
side without allowing the run. Twice with the count two and three, he served a spitter and got out both times. Around the major league circuit, they refer to the St. Louis Cards and the Detroit Tigers as "two down" ball clubs. They do their most effective work with two out when the opposing club figures the hardest part gone. Charley Ebbets protested two ball games that his team lost because the opposing catcher blocked a runner at
the plate before he got the ball. h.dbets says something ought to be done about it. Ted McGraw. umpire in the Pacific Coast circuit, says the best way to stop it would be to make the catcher shed his shin guards and taketho same chances that the batsmen take. They are producing nothing but "million dollar" baseball plants in
California soil. "Red" Killifer, manager of the. Los Angeles club, says he is going to make big prices look cheap when he goes to sell Clyde Beck, a 20-year-old shortstop, just coming out Looking over the list of those who haven't done so bad this year, one Pat Moran Qualifies in large size. Hi
has built up a new team at Cincinnati that promises the third cut of the world's series money this fall, and even better next year. Moran built the club too.

IS GREATEST UPSET IN 1922 RAGE CIRCLES
(By United Press) SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y- Aug. 22. The failure of Morvich, as a three year old, to continue the invincible form he displayed as a juvenile, Is considered by horsemen here to be the greatest upset of the year in thoroughbred horse racing. Undefeated as a two year old, the Block colt was hailed this spring as the successor of Man O' War as the champion three year old. He was eligible for the Kentucky derby and he made good in that event, winning easily dver a field that was, however, hardly rated as championship calibre. Then Benjamin Block brought his
colt east and in his first start he was beaten by . Harry Payne Whitney's Whiskaway, which ' since has been sold to C. W. Clark, the California turf man. Morvich carried topwelght in that race and it was believed that with the weights even he .could win from Whiskaway. But not so. . In the La to rda special, . at , even weights, Whiskaway again was an easy winner. Yesterday, Morvich made his first start since the Latonia event was- pit-
