 This statement is born out by the statistics of long run records kept by the duPont Company beginning in 1915 when that company inaugura ted it's long run trophy proposition for tournaments registered with the In- terstate Association. This plan is being continued this year with a few minor changes.
 For long runs in 1915 and 1916, the duPont Company gave out 116 watches, 1686 watch fobs and 4947 bars, so of the watches were won by amateurs and 3S by professionals. 77 shooters received one watch: : oth- CTS received two; seven more got three. and one shooter-Art Killam, of St. Louis-won four watches.
 During these two years, 1882 scores of between 50 and 74 were made; 446s scores between 75 and 99 and 479 scores of 100 or better, some of them running more than 200. In 1915. 929 runs between 50 and 74 were made and in 1916 759. 1867 runs between 75 and 99 were made in 1915 and 2soi
