terday in the opening program of a two
days registered target tournament He
broke 147 out of $50.
While counting up his long runs Martin
met with an accident that may keep him
out of future matches for some time.
He was standing in front of window
that opened on a pivot A rush of wind
blew the window shut breaking the glass.
When Martin put up his hand TO prevent
the glass from hitting his face his FIRST
finger was cut to the bone by broken glass
and the second finger badly gashed.
Following first-aid attention, Martin went
to a surgeon. The latter advised the local
shot to lay off for two weeks.
