Each club won three tourneys and one of the matches resulted in a tie score at 916 breaks, The tie was not shot off, but the matches were re- sumed in September of this year, with Baltimore winning the meet, and in October the Orioles and Washingtons came out of the meet deadlocked. € The Oriole team made the high record May 28, when it scored 928x 1,000. Individual honors for high scores, however, were garnered by local trapshots. Dr. A. B. Stine reg- istered a singles score of 99x100 and in doubles Julius Marcey scored 48x50. High honers for the average of the series were earned by F. P. Williams, secretary of Washington Gun Club, who also won the honors for high over all in both doubles and singles. Honors in the doubles went to Balti- more by a margin of one target. The best score on any 150 targets was made by R. D. Morgan, Washington veteran, with 93x100 and 47x50 for 140x150. e Morgan was closely pressed by Wil- liams, who scored 95x100 in singles and 44x50 in doubles for 139x150. High average at the local club for the year is held by C. C. Fawsett, who has shot at 1,000 of the 16-yard targets and shattered 924, Fawsett also won the annual club champion- ship with the fine score of 87x100, the highest score yet turned in for this event. The doubles champlonship was won by Dr. J. C. Wynkoop, with Lieut. Derringer second. The annual distance handicap race was won by Miles Taylor, a former secretary of the club, with 89x100 from 18 yards. H. M. Horton won the all-around race. R. D. Morgan was runner-up in the 16-yard cham- pionship match with 9§x100. At the Grand American handicap held in August at Dayton, Ohjo, Mon- roe starred by winning the class C championship from a big fleld with the excellent score of 193x200. He won the event last year glso with a high score. Fawsett. starred in the tournament on the opening day, when he scored 196x200.. W. F. Burrows turned in several fine scores, one of 191x200 on the opening day, and Wil- liams broke 93x100 from 20 yards in the preliminary handicap. The club is in a healthy condition financially and otherwise. Officers for 1926 will be elected at the annual meeting to be held December 28 and an attractive program for next year prepared. 2 ‘Winners in the leading events of the season follow: District champlonship.
