FAMOUS SPORTSMEN 
AT THE CLAYS 
GROVER CLEVELAND ALEXANDER, NA¬ 
TIONAL LEAGUE STAR AND CAPT. 
JACK WOLF ENTHUSIASTS 
F OR many weeks baseball fans have 
been reading and talking about the 
salaries that the big fellows of the 
game were going to get during the coming 
season. 
One star in particular caused extra com¬ 
ment—Grover Cleveland Alexander. He 
being the National League’s best, thought 
he was worth more than last year’s salary 
and held out for $15,000. He finally com¬ 
promised on $12,500. The period of wait¬ 
ing together with its many conferences 
was surely one of suspense, and naturally 
his nerves were somewhat unstrung. After 
he had affixed his signature to a two-year 
contract he no doubt felt that a big load 
had been lifted from his shoulders, and 
made plans for recreation. One of his 
first ideas was to travel out to the Beide- 
man Gun Club at Camden, N. J.—of which 
many prominent Philadelphians are mem¬ 
bers—and demonstrate his ability as a 
trapshooter. Also, he got in trim for a 
hunting and fishing trip he was to take 
with Pat Moran. 
Aleck handles a gun as well as he does 
a baseball and his scores at the traps equal 
the majority of shooters’. He can hardly 
be classed as the “only one” however, for 
man}' other baseball stars are trapshooting 
enthusiasts. Among them are Chief Bend¬ 
er, Frank Baker, Ty Cobb, Joe Jackson, 
Wilbert Robinson, Hans Wagner, Christy 
Matthewson, Harry Davis, Tris Speaker, 
Bob Shawkey, Eddie Collins, Joe Bush, 
Doc. Crandall, Walter Johnson, Jack 
Coombs, Gabby Cravath^ Eddie Plank, Bill 
Ivillefer, Bill Carrigan and many other 
notables. 
A NOTHER famous sportsman is 
Capt. Jack Wulf, amateur champion 
trapshooter of America. The ' cap¬ 
tain shoots for the pure love of the sport 
and he can always give an interesting talk 
on his trapshooting experiences. He is a 
bachelor and while not a multi-millionaire 
is wealthy. Of course in these high cost 
of living days, the average married man 
hasn’t much chance to get any more than 
he needs, which fact gives Capt. “Jack” a 
handicap. 
He has hit the fifty-five year mark of 
life and is still a specimen of health and 
vigor, thus casting aside Dr. Osier’s idea 
that a man is worthless after he has 
passed the two-score line. 
NEW TEXAS SHOOTING CLUB 
A trapshooters’ association for central 
Texas, at Brownwood, will give its first 
shoot on May 21, preliminary, and on May 
22-23 the shoot proper, with $500 added 
money, together with several prizes. 
The shooting fraternity has been invited 
to attend, from any section of the United 
States.
