 CHAMPIONS

| glad to win one championship a season in his favorite sport but two trap | shooters find two titles safely tucked | away in camphor as the 1920 campaign | ends. one of the fortunate gunners is | E. C. Wheeler, a Cherokee Indian, who | 5resides in Pawhuska. Okla. The other l is Frank M. Troeh. Vancouver, Wash. | a member of the victorious U. $. Olym- 1 pic trapshooting team. Chief" Wheeler won his champion i ships at the Great Lakes Zone Handt- cap tournament, held in Mason City, l the Doubles title by breaking 25 pairs (50 targets) straight, record for the Zone tournaments. The Chief also landed the singles championships in the Great Lakes Zone, breaking 296 out of 300.
 Troeh's titular victories also were in the doubles and singles events at the Pacific Coast Handicap tournament held in Walla Walla, Wash, June 13- 16. He shattered AT out of 50 doubles end 297 out of 300 singles. His singles score was the record at the. zone tour naments.
 George Nikolai, the veteran live bird nuarksman of Kansas City, Mo, was a dual winner. He captured one cham p.onship, the singles title at the Prairie Zone tournament, held in Omaha, Neb., when he broke 2s4 out of 300.

Wins, Red Bank, N. l., ' who celebrated his Sand birthday hn D Cleveland on August 27 by winning the [ Grand American Handicap from 19 E yards. However, many will consider r that the score of 97 out 100 credited to a Frank Troeh at the Pacific Coast tour < nament, where he shot from 23 yards, l. as the leading handicap performance of 5 the season.
