Sanford Trophy (Professionals)—Rolla O. 
Heikes, Dayton, Ohio, 96. 
Kings of Kings—this is no pinochle deck—must 
be up to Charley Newcomb who won the Nation¬ 
al Amateur Championship, which means he beat 
every man who beat every other man in every 
other state among registered shooters. Charley 
has for years been one of the most dependable men 
in the trap shooting game. When he was needed 
he was there. In taking the championship from 
all comers he darkened the sun with the dust of 
99 out of 100 mud discs pulled, and left no ques¬ 
tion when he “killed” a bird that it was “dead.” 
How many cartridges were fired at the Grand 
American is a question one of our readers has 
shoved up to me. Elmer advises that 282,380 
birds were trapped, our “Dear Reader can go 
over the scores and figure the shells by figuring 
how many fellows missed and how many they 
overlooked. I refuse to “dope” it for a “constant 
reader.” But not to overlook the Grand Ameri¬ 
can. Four men tied for the big prize and every 
one of them like Lochinvar, was from out of 
the west. L. B. Clarke, M. E. Dewire, J. J. Ran¬ 
dall and C. C. Hickman, tied each with 96 out of 
a century. On the shoot off Clarke smashed 
his twenty straight while Dewire skidded on one, 
getting second, Randall lost his tire chains on 
three while Hickman fell down on one more and 
took fourth trophy. Some shooting, all round, each 
man keyed to the Yale limit and missing only be¬ 
cause—well the perfect may not always be 
achieved. Four better shooters never tied score 
before, nor for some day will they. It is esti¬ 
mated that more than 50,000 visitors were in at¬ 
tendance during the events.
