 quite number gave him second look, for they figured Arie wouldn't miss any; that Larson was beaten. After that miss Larson began to shoot, and he bounced on every one of the other 19 targets as they left the traps bouse. Arie missed one and another shoot off was necessary.
 It isn't every shooter after missing his first target and shooting against one of the best trapshots in the world would have had the courage to con tinue as Larson did. Larson is of the stuff from which real champions are made. He missed the second target in the second string. giving Arie the advantage. Arie missed his thirteenth target, and Larson followed suit. Arie missed three more, but Larson was through missing. That is the reason that Waupaca, Wis, is talked about so much these days.
 Lawson is the owner of the general grocery and market in Waupaca. He oDined he could make of the $143.40 he won in putting a little paint on the old homestead. buying a few pairs of shoes and lifting the mortgage on the farm.

He is a ial bill, srd chilly as the day was when the shoot-of took place, Larson fired at the clays in a shirt with the sleeves cut off at the elbows.
