ON DUCKNER TROPHY
Broke AZ Out of so at the Shoot
at Bellevue on Saturday
Afternoon.

Despite rain, hail and snow, local and
out-of-town shooters turned out for the
various trophies offered at the Wilmington
Trapshooting Association, Saturday NJ.
J. Connor, that sterling shot of the West
Chester Club, put IN his appearance and
made all the BOYS take his dust as he went
down the line twice, and when he fin
ished he had broken AZ out of so, giving
him q leg on the Class A Colonel Buckner
trophy, and also Class \ take-home tro-
ply.
Out of FIVE Class A winners on the
Colonel Buckner, two of them shot with
the West Chester team of the Phlladel-
phia Trapshooters League, namely, Con-
nor and w. b. Cochran, and when the
final shoot is held, these men can be de-
pended upon to make competition very
keen. II Connor had not come through
with his AZ out of so score, G.. |. Syl-
vcster, also a member of the West Ches-
ter team, would have won the leg, as he
already had broken 45 of his 80 birds.
+. B Holmes and Dudley Wood tied
for Class B Buckner trophy, and will
hold shoot-oif to decide who will shoot
for final ownership. J. w. Evans, of
Camden, won Glass G trophies, and J:
+. Wratten won the leg on the Colonel
Buckner Class ID trophy, leg on the Henry
Wilson Glass ID trophy and took home
the Class ID take-hope trophy. All things
considered, Wratten had n very good day.

part in the shoot for the T.. II. German

this cup with three targets to spare.
