H. Linn Worthington, of Baltimore,
who will take part in the Delaware
state shoot here on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, has been familiar with
the shooting game for quite a number
Of years, and back in 1901, he won
the Amateur Championship of Mary
land, and in 1902, 1903 and 1904, won
the Amateur Championship of Cecil
county. In 1905 he began to repre-
sent the Winchester Repeating Arms
Company, and did not shoot again un-
til 1907, since which time, however
he has engaged more or less in trap
shooting. He has made long runs as
follows: 162, 1873, l23, Ill, 1O7. 1O3
and 100, which show what he is capa-
BILE of when he is feeling fit.
In 1911 he won high average at the
Westy Hogan Shoot, scoring 435S
$50. He also won high average at the
Maryland State Shoot by shooting
290x300. One of his best average
records is that of 97.25 per cent fol
200 targets, which he made in success.
eiNe tourndmenJS during that year. In
the same year he won the Wawasei
Trophy, which he held until 1913. He
closed the year with an average o.
954 per cent.
He did not shoot a great deal dur.
ing 1912, but. nevertheless, made tn,
creditable average of 1914 per cent
for the year.
Linn" is a member of the duPon
Gun Club, and often demonstrates hi,
ability on the local grounds. Hi
promised attendance for the Delawar,
state Shoot May 2Sth, 29th and Both
is but another indication of the effor
the management of the local club il
making to secure the presence at thii
event Of the best amateurs and pro
fessionals in the business.

HOMERS FIGURE IN
FRESHMEN'S VICTORY

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEWARK, May 26--In a spirited
class game the Delaware College
Freshmen yesterday afternoon de-
feateded the Sophomores, IL to g..
Buck" Hoch, the varsity twirler, who
was on the mound for the sophs, was
hit hard in several innings and in
the second inning two home runs and
a three-base hit was made of his
delivery. Ewing kept the Sophs
hits we'll scattered until the final in
ning. when four hits, including
Hach's home run with no one out,
gave the second year students an op-
pormnity to root for few minutes.
Ewing settled down, however, and the
next three batters were easy outs.
The Sophomores were handicapped
because Of the lack Of a regular
catcher. AS the Seniors defeated the
Juniors last week the Seniors and
Freshmen will now play for the col
lege championship some time during
Commencement Week.

We begin this year with a very
good balance to our credit, $S,124.07,
and will need of It all and more, If
we are to accomplish all that we have
laid out and expect to do in the way
of road grading and stone crushing
The Hundred already owns many
hundred perches of stone broken to
crusher size, and piled up in different
districts, which will require con-
siderable money to crush and place
on the roads. We intend to try and
place all this stone this year. We
scraped some twelve (12) miles of
road and dragged about fifteen (15)
and cleaned out many miles Of
bitches. Four "a large bridges we're
repaired and several culverts. Three
90 plank bridges we're rebuilt, three
long stretches of road were put in
shape and afterwards covered with
cinders, and carefully raked to form
making very good roads. Over one
mile of road was covered with stone.
One piece of road from Grubb's Run
towards Carpenter Station was COM
pletely cleared of rocks by means Of
dynamite and put into good shape.
Late in the Fall we were able TO start
the crusher, which had been set up
near Point Breeze school house since
the year before. All the several
hundred perches of stone in the field
adjoining the school, together with
several hundred more perches bought
from the immediate neighbors, max
ing over Twelve Hundred G,200)
perches altogether. were crushed and
put on the Naaman's Creek Road from
Perry's Hotel towards Foulk Road.
This work was done very economic
ally and quickly, the Supervisor and
helpers being entitled to credit for
the way in which the job was
handled.
Machinery and Tools:-Three t3)
steel scraping machines, three CD
steel road drags, and two (2) dozen
picks. shovels, sledges. &C.
