CLARKE LIKES TRAPSHOOTING Former Manager of Pittsburgh Pirates Devoting Time to Shooting, Oil and Farming. Fred Clarke, former manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, and regarded as one of the greatest field directors ever connected con-nected with the national pastime, is devoting his time now to trap shooting, farming and the oil business. The former Pirate leader lives at Winfield, i Fred Clarke. I Kan., and Is now making plans to entertain en-tertain the 1920 Kansas state trap-shooting trap-shooting tournament there. Clarke doesn't boast of being as good a trap shooter as he was a baseball manager, but, at that, he does fairly well. He broke 240 birds in a recent slate titular titu-lar shoot, using a 12-gauge singlc-har-rtl gun, which was presented to him several years ago by Pittsburgh fans. The gun is extensively engraved, the principal adornment being a figure of Clarke in baseball uniform, bat in hand.
