 Editor National Sports Syndicate.
 The long run trophy (trapshooting) propositions which for years have been operated by the various powder com panies win this. year be conducted by the Interstate Trapshooting associa- ion
 This announcement will be greeted with pleasure by the amateur trap shooting fraternity, for the conditions 1nder Interstate association manage nent will be even more liberal tue n inder' the individual powder com- sanies
 Arrangements have been. made which Eill give. those contestants who have nready started long run trophy prop; ssitions the privilege of choosing: CD Whether they will try to compete dur ng the registered tournament season 1918 the competition for whatever ong run trophy or trophies they may pe working on now under the powder companies conditions, or CD whether hey will start in on the new long run rophy plans of the Interstate Trap lhooting association at the first regis cred tournament they attend in 1918. If a contestant elects to continue my one of the long run trophy propo- ntions of the powder companies and afer on desires to change to the In- erstate proposition, it will be permiss- ole. with the understanding that there Till be no points allowed on the In- erstate Trapshooting association prop Auon for runs made. while operating n the powder companies long runs.
 How New Scheme Works.
 As heretofore long runs must be made in registered tournaments. A ichedule of points, 25 to complete the eries, has been worked out by the interstate association, as follows:
 For runs of 50 to 99, one point; for uns of 100 to 199, three points; for uns of 200 and over, five points.
 On making the first run of 50 or better, gold watch fob will be sent he contestant. When making ten (1O) joints in the series, gold bar for at . achment to the fob will be awarded. md at the completion of twenty (2O) Joints another bar will be awarded Ons the completion of the series, i. G. Fhen twenty-five (25) points are won gold watch will be given.
 As the long run trophy represents IaTReJS miss in handicap or double target went will. not be counted as affectine he run, and the unfinished run will he arried to the next 16-yard event the 'ame as if the contestant had not harted the handicap or double target event
 If. heweveF, a contestant breaks all he targets in a handicap or dovkle arget event, the run will be counted T If the contestant completes the run Fhen shooting handicap or double tar. set events, the entire long run score counts. T
 A contestant may carry over an un. finished run from a handicap. or doubl, arget event and apply this run to tn, ieLt scheduled program event.
 Runs made in scheduled printed pro ram events are the only ones that vii ount. Shoot-offs made necessary f, determine the winner of a program vent will count, of course. Practr, layi events, extra events, such al championships. merchandise races, etc ount only when published in the pro ram. ...
