When the fog had drifted away from Young's 
Pier at Atlantic City, one George McCarty was in 
possession of the splendid sterling cup emblematic 
of the High Amateur Average. He defeated both 
amateurs and professionals with the exceptional 
score of 499 out of 515—96.9 per cent. 
The shells were U. M. C. Arrows and the tar¬ 
gets were reduced to “pinches of dirt.” The Westy 
Hogan Shoot was a success in every way, and more 
U. M. C. Shells than any other make were used. 
George Lyon, with his new Remington Pump and Arrow Shells, tied for the Westy 
Hogan Cup, breaking 97 per cent.
