LAURELSGAINED
BY ID. C.. GUESTS

Billiardists of the 1872 balkline per-
suasion again brought laurels to
Washington during the past year.
The National Capital team composed
of Charles Wolfe, Frank Turton, Ed
ward Powell and Benjamin Clark de-
feated u strong Baltimore team in
the annual intercity match played in
February and March, 1900 to 1,101.
In the first block of the match
played here, the Washington GUESTS
triumphed easily, but they were de-
cisively defeated when next they en-
countered Baltimoreans. The third
block played here saw the Washing
tonians keep pace with their oppo-
nents and in the final block at Balti-
more they all but swamped them.
While the tournament for the Dis
trict championship at pocket billiards
was conducted under rather loose
rules. the title generally was conceded
to Charles Dent. He had the best
record of a strong field of cue wielders.
The three cushion billiard crown of
the District was earned by Edward
Connolly.
Charles Petersen was the only
cueist of note to give exhibitions here
during the year. He showed his wares
at the three cushion game and trick
shooting late in December.

their doors mainly through lack OF

going considerable distances to crafty

Some private boxing exhibitions
were conducted by clubs within town,

to draw heavily.

TRAPSHOTS OF DISTRICT
ENJOY 4 BUSY SEASON

Scatter gun artists of Washington
had fine time during 1926. Wash
ington Gun Club, the only organiza-
ton here fostering trapshooting, at
forded much entertainment for them
and provided the best shot of this Sec
tion.
c. C. Fawsett of the local organi.
cation won the Maryland District Of
Columbia State championship held I'M
der the auspices of the American
Trapshooting Association at Benning
earlyIn June. Fawsett had to break
1872 of 200 targets to win, scoring 9s
Of 100 the second day of the meet.
The intercity matches with the
Ofiole Gun Club of Baltimore pro-
vided the hottest contests of the year.
Baltimore won the 1925-1926 series of
seven matches, four to three, while
the locals took the doubles by the
same number Of matches. In the
1926-1927 series the matches now
stand one for Washington and one
for the Orioles, each team winning
the race on its own home grounds.
The races were omitted during the
hunting season of November and De
cember. and will be resumed again
on January 20, with a registered
tournament at Washington.
The distance handicap trophy race
for valuable trap gun was a real
thriller from the start to the finish.
w. c. Blundon jumped into the lead
at the start early in the year and
never was headed by any other than
r. d. Morgan, who passed him twice.
1t was no runaway match, for such
capable shets 40 Or. Slime, Dr.. Wyn.
koop and Williams were close on
their heels. At the finish on De-
Gambler 1s Blundon had tucked away
10 legs" Morgan was second with
Is wins and DIR. Slime was third.
Morgan and Williams staged an
other pretty race in the doubles
trophy race for pair Of field glasses,
which the former won. On the last
day Of the race Williams won leg"
putting him in a tie with Morgan. A
shoot-off resulted in a tie, and Nor
gan was finally declared the winner.
j. III. Hunter. one Of the best known
Of the Capital City's shotgun experts,
romped home with the annual cham
pionship at 16-yard targets with the
fine score of 81 100. Hunter also won
the Oriole championship at Balti
more In October. with the won

derful score of 80 of 100, leading
"a field OF about 60 shooters, including
the redoubtable Steve Crothers Of
Philadelphia.
II. H. Shelton proved to be the best
handicap shooter on the day Of the
annual distance handicap champion
ship when he shattered 90 of 100 from
IL yards to win.
w. F. Burrows. who formerly shot
only single targets, developed his dou.,
BILE shooting abilities to a degree that
enabled him to win the annual dou-
bles championship. He was called on
to win this event on a very bad day,
when weather conditions were any
thing but fair. He tied with Will
liams with 76 of 100 $50 pairs), and
won the shoot-off.
1t remained for r. D. Morgan to
show the way home In the a1l-around
annual championship, which IL shot
at 20 targets, each from Is, IS. 20 and

Plans are being made to develop
amateur boxing here among school
boy and college students in an effort
to have Washington represented in
the South Atlantic A. A.. II. junior
