FOORD SHOOTS
SECOND BEST

shooters from a great many points
in the East visited Wilmington for the
shoot Saturday at the DUPONT Trap
Club. which was a success in every
sense of the word. The shoot was
registered with the Interstate Associ-
alton. which provides that the scores
made shall be entered on the official
records of trapshooting. Many fine
prizes we're offered. and the competi-
ion for them brought out some
aigh-class cunning.
The individual star was the popular
professional and worlds titleholder,
Lester S. German, OF Aberdeen. Md,
who cracked 148 out of $50, and had
a straight run of about 125 consecu-
tive breaks. Lester is shooting IN
the greatest form of any man in the
country right now, having missed but
eight targets in the last 1245 shot at
an average exceeding 80 per cent.
OF the amateurs Billy Severn, oi
PHILADELPHIA, and william Foord oi
this CITY. had no difficulty in leading
the field after German. Both knocked
down 146 out Of $50. and put up
grand exhibition. Scores:
