Pardon these boys for low scores, as a good many of 
them are beginners at the traps. They need encourage¬ 
ment. _ 
J. L. Englert led the score with 95 breaks out ot 
100 possible targets. This was exceptionally well done. 
John, all the ladies admire your skill. 
Grapin was second high gun with 76 breaks out ot 1W.
