HARD TO BEAT SHOOTING
BY These PROFESSIONALS

Everything is being done these days
to give the amateur all the honor and
glory in trapshooting Quite natural
ly the professional is forced to the
background He doesn't share in the
prizes in any OF the tournaments -
but this is as II should be. 1t is the
amateurs and not the professionals
that make the sport what it is. The
professional in trapshooting is uuite
different from the professional in
other branches OF sport however. He
is a professional because he is en-
ployed by an ammunition concern.
Some of these professionals continue
to get lot Of publicity even though
they don't get any prizes.
Two of them are Lester German, OF
Aberdeen Md. and Walter Huff. Of
Macon. Ga. In the recent Alabama
State tournament. HUFF broke 1876 out
of 500 in the registered tournament
competition and broke $40 out Of 625
in the tournament This is some Of
the most remarkable shooting ever
done German is better known as
Long Run" German. His main forte
is knocking out a long string OF tar
gets in succession. In the recent
tourney at Betterton. Md. he had a
run OF 247 straight. and in the 500 tar
gets shot at in the three days shoot,
he broke 492-which is by no means
poor average This kind Of shoot
ing is bound to get publicity.

minutes. no preparations were made
to launch a boat the commander OF
the submarine fired a shot across the
bow OF the steamer After ten min
utes the first officer came on board
the submarine and stated the captain
had not observed the submarine until
then.
The Imperial Government cannot
give any credence to this evasive OK
cuse. since the note Of August IS
mentions ten shots fired at the
steamer from which II Is undeniably
clear that the warning shots we're
heard by the captain Of the Owego,
but that no attention was paid to
them
Under these circumstances, the
Imperial Government finds itself un-
der the necessity OF emphasizing the
fact that while the conduct Of the
commander OF the submarine was in
every respect correct, the behavior
Of the steamer Owego was not in ac-
cordance with the rule OF Interna-
tional law. The captain would there
fore have had himself TO blame had
his conduct brought about unpleas-
ant results"
II was said at the department that
this note would close the Owego
case unless subsequent facts pre-
scented to the department by the
steamship company or the captain
OF the vessel cast any serious doubt
upon the correctness OF the German
statement.

He has cross-fire and a curve
that snaps sharper than any have

control is a little bad, bui that weak
ness can be overcome. His slow ball
is good only at times, but when he
gets control OF the ball. he'll have no
equal on earth"

wing and predicts banner year for
the lad in 1917.
