Atlantic City Tournament. 
Atlantic City, N. J., April 21.—Appended herewith 
are scores of our first annual Easter tournament. We 
had with us the best professionals of the East, as also 
the best amateur talent in this section of the country. 
Lester German led the professionals with 175 breaks out 
of 190, with Apgar a close second, being only one target 
behind. 
McCarty set the pace for the amateurs, 168 out of 190, 
with Foord right along, 166 out of 190. 
Mr. Overbaugh was with us in the office, and every¬ 
thing went off like clock-work. 
All the shooters expressed themselves as greatly pleased 
with our treatment, and they say our shooting grounds 
are great—a perfect background, nothing but the clouds 
to obscure the targets. They all expect to be with us 
at our next shoot, and see that their friends are with 
them. 
Considering the high wind blowing, very creditable 
scores were made. 
This being our first registered shoot, we 'think the 
boys supported us great, and we can promise some in¬ 
teresting shoots for the future. Keep your eye on At¬ 
lantic City. Our club is but three months old, and we 
have over sixty members.
