In’dianapolis, Ind., April 12. —Better target breaking 
conditions prevailed to-day, and scores showed some im¬ 
provement. The figures given cover practice and trophy 
scores, as both were made at 16yds. Vietmeyer led with 
94 per cent.; Edmonson right up with 93, Parry 90. They 
and Moller each got a straight. Shooting first time for 
the members’ trophy, with an equalizing number of tar¬ 
gets added, Edmonson (scratch) was first with 57 out of 
60. Moller (scratch) and Britton (4 added) were next 
with 56. .Scores follow;

April 19.—To-day was marked by Edmonson’s second 
annual attempt to break 100 straight. The figures given 
indicate that he missed one, but the boys in cleaning up 
the field found a target, unbroken, pierced by six pellets 
of shot, and all agreed that it looked just like the one 
called lost. Van Nest was the best professional. Scores:

April 17.—To-day was held the tournament of the 
club, and it drew a shortage of entrants, but there was 
quality to spare, as shown by the summary of scores. Of 
the eleven who shot at 150 or more targets, six broke 
from 90 to 97 per cent. Vietmeyer w'as in front up to 
the seventh frame, when he fell back and was passed by 
Chamberlain, Edmonson and Straughn, wdto finished in 
that order. In the last two events at 50 targets, Cham¬ 
berlain posted 50, Parry and Moller 49 each. Edmonson

Piping Rock Club. 
Locust Valley, L. I., April 19.—Too much, likewise 
too uncertain a wind, too, substituted dumb luck for 
science in slaughter of the aerosaucers here to-day, so 
that scores, mostly, were not fit for publication. Finally 
the chorus dwindled to a duet with Robert Goelet and 
Paulding Fosdick on the stage. Three events were shot 
at 25 discs. It looked like anybody’s match, not be¬ 
cause the contestants were shooting a close race, but 
because reversal of form got to be habit with both rock 
breakers. First Goelet cracked 9 to Fosdick’s 6; then 
Fosdick found 13 scalers crackable in the ambient at¬ 
mosphere, with Goelet straining badly after 22 that led 
his charges successfully. In the final string Fosdick 
decided that an imaginary “too much lead” was better 
than not enough, with the result that he smeared the 
horizon with 12 of his pulls, while his opponent dis¬ 
integrated one less. Final score: Fosdick 31, Golet 23. 
A SINGLE 
TRIGGER 
Lefever 
in the hands of L. H. REID, Seattle 
broke 2115 x 2200 = 96.14% 
with ordinary factory loaded shells 
purchased from local dealers. 
Mr. Reid, shooting at 
Interstate Association 
Registered Tournaments 
throughout the 1912 
season, has the high 
average for the Pacific 
Coast. 
The loads were regular factory 
loads; the LEFEVER bore, famous 
for the even pattern and penetration, 
assisted MR. REID to make this 
record.

Trigger this year?
