Tom Coward
Star Amateur Marksman
Clicked OFF 295 Targets
Without a Single Miss

+. W Rcnfro, of Butte, whose sem
sational shooting during the season of
1921 won him several championship ps
and put him we'll ND in the standing Of
the First Fifty on the ranking list
Of trapshooters, also leads the field in
another department. according to
figures just issued by Stoney McLinn,
secretary Of the American Trapshoot-
ing Association. This shotgun expert,
who frequently is referred to as the
"Montana Cyclone" made the longest
straight run on registered targets of
any amateur in North America. He
clicked off 295 without a miss.
A "long run" i'll trapshooting is re-
corded on the records when a trap
shooter breaks so or more targets in
succession in open competition, and, of
course, man of Renfro's ability
broke so straight many times during
the season. But he is not the leader
in that respect, for Frank NJ. Troeh, of
Vancouver, WASH, made 75, the great
est number of official long runs. E. F.
Woodward, of Houston, Tex, ran sec
ond 10 Troeh, but it was not a close
second. for he made only So.
Troeh, long a marvel of the trap
game, is q consistent shot, which
Is proved by the number of times that
he smashed fifty or more straight.
Moreover. he won three titles at the
Pacific Coast Zone shoot, and three at
the Washington State shoot. In addi-
ton he won the Pacific Coast Handicap
with the score of 99xl00 from the %
yard mark-the very limit in distance
handicap shooting-a feat not dupli-
Gated by any man in the game.
And, when it came to long runs
Troeh was a wizard last year for
he not only left all of the anna
teurs far III the rear, but also hac
many to the good on Fred S. Tomlin
of Glassboro, N. j., who leads the pro.
fessionals in that departme nt.
Renfro's accompli shment Nof making
the longest run among the amateurs
was beaten in the professional class
for Rush Race, of Curtis, Neb., re-
duced to dust 307 before he missed
the fast-hyng clays in succession, but
that feat is not rare. However, it i.
not so often that even the most skillful
trapshooter can click off 200. JUS
fourteen men succeeded, and not one o1
those was able to repeat the perform
arce.
OF these stars six won their state
champ mpionships. They were Rcnfro, Pau

Skutt, who made the longest run O.
any Easterncr, carried off the New

The annual scramble for the metro
politan indoor track and field champ on-
ships which will take place next Tues
day evening in Madison Square Garden
has attracted an excellent entry, there
being no less than ten members of the
recent Olympic team among those
scheduled to compete. The New York
A.sC. heads the list in point of strength
with forty-three individual entries and
the Winged Foot organization is ia
vorcd TO cop the team title.
1t is believed that the 600yard run
will be the feature race. Jimmy
OBrien, of the Loughlin Lycoum, will
defend his title against Nlch stars as
Sid Leslie. Jack Sellers. Vincent Lally,
Braunstein and Harry Braverman.
O'Bren will be forced to run one of
the greatest races Of his career to re
tain his crown. for any one in this field
has fine chance.
Another event that is attracting
considerable attention is the one-mile
walk in which Joe Pearman, of the
New York Athletic Club, will start
against Willie Plant, the famous star
of the Morningside Athletic Club, and
others. Plant did not compete in this
even last year, but he has beaten Pear
man at all distances from three miles

him to battle Pearman over the short
route.
