GOOD SCORING AT TRAPS
Won Boeckman Wins Amateur
Shoot After Tie.

Glenwood Long Island Dec. 27.-Had It
not been for the miserable weather condi-
tions this morning more than hundred
well known marksmen would have taken
part in the opening shoot Of the recently or
Eanized Glenwood Country Club The rain
or the early morning kept down the at
tendance. and there were only sixteen anna
teurs and eight professionals on the firing
line al the new club.
The programme called for special 100
target shoot for amateurs and another 100
target shoot for professionals. Naturally
interest centred in the amateurs. and when
the final bird" was trapped 1t was found
that p. Won Boeckman and r. Morgan, both
Of the Bergen Beach Gun Club, OF Brook
lyn. had tied with totals Of 81 kills" each.
In the shoot-off that followed Mr. Won
Boeekman was the winner by the score OF
2l 10 20 out Of 25 targets.
". S. Silkworth, chairman OF the shoot
ing committee OF the Glenwood Country
Club. took third and J. +. James, OF the
Crescent Athletic club, fourth prize In the
shoot
AS far as scores were concerned the pro-
Iessionals did better than the amateurs.
J. A. h. Elliott, the veteran, was In rare
good form. and won with the excellent total
OF 30 out Of possible 100 targets.

PRENT|SS BEATS RILEY
overcomes Big Handicap to Win
Fast Squash Match.
THREE SETS HARD FOUGHT
Speed and Court Generalship
Count in Victory of the
Harvard Man.

Two important factors. court generalship
and speed. carried John W. Prentiss. of the
harvard Club into the final round Of the
open squash tennis handicap tournament on
the courts OF the Princeton Club. Gramercy
park yesterday. Prentiss. who was run
nsr-up for the national title last season,
was forced 10 his limit. All Of his adroit-
ness in the handling of racquet and ball
was called into action before he defeated
Arn1in W Riley, the Princeton Club cham
MON. after three heartbreaking sets, by
the score Of S-15. 15-s, 1916.
The outcome Of the match. which was
Nled with exciting rallies. marked the
fourth time that Prentiss has proved his
superiority. with his burdensome handicap
of minus 10 aces and 2 or no count. 1t was
All the more remarkable as Riley played
from scratch and had the further advan-
tage Of being on his home court.
The set score gives small insight to the
cIoseness and keenness of the competition.
Because Of the long odds, Prentiss was
compelled 10 score a total OF s. aces TO 40
nv his opponent in order 10 win. No fewer
than nineteen times Prentiss was the vic
tim Of the 2-or-no-count rule. These came
AZ critical times, and in the last set il
looked as II Riley would be successful IN
pulling out after the game had been set .
with the score at Ball. On three oC-
casions before he was declared the winner
Preutiss counted a solitary one and had
10 drop back again.
Prentiss, clad in a heavy sweater and
wearing a wide brimmed felt hat from
which the crown had been torn. the brim
shading his eyes from the artificial light Of
the court. was the first in service. He was
slow in getting his game into action, and
Riley, by pretty placing along the walls
had run 10 il before Prentiss by some siz-
zrng round-the-court shots tailed 4 aces
to actually begin his scoring. Riley worked
his service cleverly in the next hand and
took the set
The Harvard player was on his game
with the second set. He hit the ball
straight up and down the court, favorins
his backhand strokes for the shot. The
ball came off the back wall with such tre-
mendous speed that, despite nimble chas-
Ing. Riley was able only TO wave his
racquet at IT, SO fast did Prentiss play
that Riley had a number Of falls. but luck
ily was not injured
In this set Prenuss managed to come on
level terms with his opponent at ALL
Thereafter Riley used his slow service, in
which the ball clung to the side wall with
telling effect. 1t required some ingenuity
for Prentiss to pick the ball off, but he
finally accomplished the trick and won the
set.
In the third set the Princeton champion
worked his puzzling service for all it was
worth. He led at 7-3, and then Prentiss
came along with a run Of aces, as he
risced with marvellous accuracy IN the raj
lies and used the straight shots with telling
effect BY the hardest sort of work Riley
caught him at 13-all but could not steady
himself 10 win.
s Hinman Bird acted as referee Of the
match, and Frank Leonai the profes-
sional. as marker
