WESTY HOGANS TOURNAMENT. 
(By Our Special Correspondent.) 
Atlantic City's reputation continues to grow. 
If this celebrated resort is ever awarded a prize 
in a popularity contest the Westy Hogans of 
America should have one too, for the Hogans 
and their friends are annually contributing their 
share to making the city the most talked about 
pleasure place in the country, the while adding to 
their own fame. Their annual tournament there 
last week was one of the chief events of the 
summer season just closing. Like its predeces¬ 
sors the 1915 shoot was the greatest trapshooting 
tournament in the country, barring of course the 
Grand American Handicap. What was perhaps 
the outstanding feature of the tournament was 
the almost perfect manner in which it was con¬ 
ducted. from the time the first shot was fired on 
Tuesday afternoon until the last target was 
thrown late Saturday afternoon. It is doubtful 
if there was one dissatisfied shooter among the 
large number of contestants. The excellent pro¬ 
gram drew forth many favorable comments 
and as usual the Westy Hogan trophies the finest 
ever awarded at any tournament made a great 
hit. The weather conditions were all that could 
be desired, although Tuesday and Wednesday 
were distressingly warm days. 
One hundred and sixty-two thousand five hun¬ 
dred and ten targets were trapped during the 
week. This is the greatest number ever thrown 
at a Westy Hogan tournament, although the 
total entry, 287 was not the largest. That this 
could be accomplished on five sets of traps speaks 
volumes for the expert manner in which the shoot 
was handled and it also shows that the traps 
operated perfectly. 
The shooting was of a high order and many 
good, not to say remarkable scores were made. 
The most notable performance of the week was 
by Lester German who broke 499 out of the 500 
regular program targets. He had a long run of 
372. High amateur honors went to Wool folk 
Henderson, last year s National Amateur cham¬ 
pion and G. A. H. winner. He finished with the 
highly creditable score of 493 out of 500. F. S. 
\\ right, of South Wales, N. Y., was second high 
amateur with 489 and Al. Heil of Allentown, Pa., 
finished third with 485 out of 500. Lim. Worth¬ 
ington of Baltimore, was second high profes¬ 
sional. He broke 482 out of 500. J. M. Haw¬ 
kins and E. H. Storr tied with 481 for third high 
professional average.
