LEADING AMATEUR
 TRAPSHCOTERS FOR .. PAST TEN YEARS
By PETER P. CARNEY
Editor National Sports Syndicate


 The best trapshooters-like the best baseball players-hail from the small est towns.
 It is these trapshooters and ball. players-as they say in sporting par lance-that put these towns on the map.
 If it wasn't for Grover Alexander you wouldn't often hear of St. Paul, Neb., and Hubbard, Tex, is known chiefly as the home of Iris Speaker. This brings us face to face with the fact that the trapshooters who com piled the best averages in 1917 are from three very small towns.
 William H. Heer, who is the high average amateur, halls from Guthrie Okla. Guthrie lays credit to 11,00o souls. Lester s. German, high aver age professional, lays claim to Aber- deen, Md, as his home. Aberdeen has a population of 616. Clarence B. Platt, who is the best double target shooter in the world comes from Bridgeton, N J., which has popula- tion of 13,000.
 Trapshooting averages are compiled
 by the Interstate Association. Te figure m the official yearly averages il is necessary for a trapshot to fire al 2000 or more targets. The averages show that four amateurs and three professionals averaged better than 9I per cent but neither Heer nor Ger man touched the bighwater figure: l made by Fred Harlow and Homer l Clark in 1916.
