The Open Amateur Championship 
and the Dickerson Trophy, valued at $300, were won at the 
N. Y. Athletic Club by Wm. M. Foord, of Wilmington, Del., 
who scored 94 ex 100 and 23 ex 25 on the shoot-off, with 
U. M. C. Arrow Shot Shells 
John Martin took the third prize trophy with the “Amateur’s 
Choice”—U. M. C. Shells. 
The First Three Professional Averages 
were won with U. M. C. Shells. S. Glover, 96 per cent; H. 
Welles, 94 per cent; W. H. Heer, 93 per cent. R. O. Heikes 
tied for fourth with 92 per cent. It was a U. M. C. shoot 
from start to finish. Considerably more U. M. C. Shells 
were shot than all other makes put together. As usual, the 
amateurs (those who are influenced by quality only) chose 
Arrow or Nitro Club Shells.
