DEWIRE MAKES THE HIGHEST SCORE OF ALL STATE CHAMPS
Warren of Birmingham Is Near the Top With Score
 of 292

It is rather surprising that in the very fast field of trapshooters who won the state championships this year, the high score was 296 out of 800. Not that 296, which is .9S67 per cent, is score to be spoofed at---oh, no! If is an ex- cellent performance. But it was ex- pected that at least one gunner would shatter a possible 300 straight-or at least 29S.
 However, all hats are doffed to M. F. Dewire, the champion of Indiana, who was compelled by Harry C. Stutz of motor car fame, the runner-up, to break 296 to win his title. Four state cham pions-George Kregor, South Dakota; John H. Noel, Tennessee; E. F. Wood ward, Texas, and Frank M. Troch, Washington, shatatered 296 out of 800.
 Alabama's champion. J. K. Warren of Birmingham, was four targets behind the leader with 292.
 Troeh won his title for the second year in succession and in 1919 he led the field breaking 29S out of S00 Other 1919 title holders who reported in 1920 were: T. l.. Edens, Arizona; W. M. Foord, Delaware; W. N. Boylston, Flor ida: H. D. Freeman, Georgia; Mark Arie, Illinois; w. E. Dewire, Indiana; r. $. Wright, New York; H. A. Morson, North Carolina; A. R. Chezik, North Da- kota; P. R. Earle South Carolina; c. H. Reilly, Jr., Utah; pr. c. H. Burr, Yer mont; W. D. Runnells, Virginia. and s. G. Vance, Eastern Canada.
 One trapshot, A. R. ChezlS, North Da- kota. has won his state title four years in succession, while two-William M. Foord, Delaware, and Frank Troeh, Washngton--have been returned the winners three successful years.
