Seven Weeks' Trip of Win
chester Trapshooting Team
Twelve Years Ago Still
Has Bright Lustre. ’
By Peter P. Carney.
(Editor National Sports Syndicate.)
In these days of perfect scores and
other exceptional performances at the
trap;:, one is apt to forget some of the
meritorious shooting of bygone days until
prodded by one of the "old-timers.”
And just such a prod recalled to mem
ory the remarkable record cf the Win
cesti r trapshooting squad that toured the
Southern states ai d shot in 43 cities in
the same number (-f shooting days in
November and December, 1906. It. isn’t
many yean? back, st that, but how many
rcrm mb' r t l . • creditable averages com
piled by tne squad?
J Don’t put yourscif out; we'll give you
the "dope" on this trip, which was be
gun in Baltimore, Md . and concluded
seven wee'.:, later in Bristol, Kv. The
team, on the whole, shot at 21,400 tar
gets and broke 20,294 so ran average of
.94H3. The work of this team isn't
chronicled among trapshoothig records,
but it should be, for the tout was a
recordbreaker in ever., sense of the word.
Thesquad was made up of William R.
Crosby, John R. Taylor. J. Mo well Haw
kins, John S. Boa and Mrt Ad Topper
w-. m The team had been shooting f r
one week hciore Boa broke into tha
score. Boa shot at 3,SM targets and
each of the other four shot at 4,400.
Orosby broke 4.263 targets for an aver- j
ago of 97; Taylor broke 4.224 for an
average of 96; Hawkins broke 4.221,
which gave him an average of three tar
gets less than 96; Boa broke 3,576 and
