Ter. 1t is said to be the most ex-

fair to put clay pigeon shooting
and other forms OF similar sports
out OF the running.
Semon was playing golf when he
drove a high ball from a hill. It
went so far that his opponent said
You'd better get a plane and
chase It." Then Semon hit upon
the idea OF actually chasing balls
with a plane. using gas-filled rub
Der ones instead OF gutta-percha.
He at once abandoned the game,
sent for a rent plane and bunch
of toy balloons. He turned the
spheres loose, took off quickly and
followed up the colored spheres.
A 16-guage double.barrelled gun and
fine birdshot were used. Out Of
twenty balloon-birds released, he
shot down fifteen before reaching
$500 feet altitude. While chasing
the birds the pilot did all man.

Sportmsmen and film stars hero
are interested in the new game.
Semon has planned to stage a con-
test shoot, offering prizes for the
marksman and pilot who bag the
most birds with the lowest altitude.
1t is expected that the new game
will spread throughout the world
among sportsmen and filters. At
any rate 1t is a novel sport and IL
