G. Warren, Frank Hughes, Frank Troeh, Fred Etchen and Mark Arie. a margin of one target with a score of 148 which put him in a tie with W. G. Warren for the first 300 targets in the high average race. Warren also did some fine shooting in this event. He broke twenty-five straight on the shoot-off of a tie with S. M. Crothers and went through the rest of his morning's 75 targets without a single miss, winding up the day with a total of 147. The trophy winners and their scores in his event were: Mark Arie, 148; Mark Hootman, 147; W. G. Warren, 147; J. H. White, 146; Fred Etchen, 145; C. A. Bogert, 145 ; Frank Troeh, 145; S. M. Crothers, 144; H. E. White, 143; Frank Hughes, 143; F. T. Stanton, 141 ; L. P. Hazel, 141, and Bruce Meffert, 141. Arie Breaks 150 Straight The Pinehurst Regular, another 150-target event, was shot on Wednesday and brought to a close the 450-target high average race and also the famous East versus West team race. Mark Arie and W. G. Warren, who had been tied for high average honors almost since the beginning of the race, again ran neck and neck throughout the final 150 targets, each breaking 142 today, and wound up in a tie at 435 for the final honors and medal. The following day Arie, who still holds the world's championship title, performed one of the most remarkable stunts of his long career. He started his sensational shooting by winning the shoot-off with Warren with a perfect 25 at sixteen yards, outshooting Warren by one target. Arie then engaged in a special 75-target event and broke the entire three quarters of a hundred in a row. The world's champion made it 150 straight when he took part in another special event of 50 targets at 23 yards and broke all of them. East Versus West Team Race For the first time in the history of Pinehurst trapshooting and despite the fact that the East out numbered the West by about five to one, the Western Shooters triumphed over their brothers from the East in the sectional five men team race at 450 targets each. The contest was made up of the 450 16-yard targets shot the first three days and proved to be a neck and neck race throughout, neither team ever having more than a few birds lead. The final scores were : Western Team Eastern Team Mark Arie 435 C. A. Bogert 432 W.G.Warren 435 W. G. Hootman 431 Frank Troeh 427 S. M. Crothers 428 Frank Hughes , 427 J. H. White 427 Fred Etchen . 421 S. L. Jenney 425 Warren Wins Preliminary Handicap Warren retaliated, however, in the Preliminary Handicap on Thursday and not only won chief honors and emoluments in that event, which was second in importance to the Midwinter, but his 94 breaks out of the century rolled up a six-target lead over Arie for the high general average of 650 targets, a lead which Arie was unable to overcome and the final honors and trophy in the 650-target race went to Warren by a margin of 2 birds. Warren's achievement in the Preliminary was remarkable. He shot from the maximum distance of 23 yards and outshot his field by a margin of four birds. This is the first time since the Preliminary was first shot in 1908 that the event has been won by a 23-yard contender, and not since Sam Huntley won the Midwinter handicap from that distance in 1915 has either of the two big handicap events been won from the rear trench. Second honors and money in this event were divided by Frank Troeh, L. P. Hazel and H. S. Kay, all of whom broke 90. The Anniversary Event The Anniversary Event, made up of former winners of the Mid winter handicap and comprising the 100 targets in the Preliminary and 100 in the Midwinter, was won by John W. Eshleman in a close race with Frank D. Kelsey and D. W. Baker. Eshleman's victory was by a margin of 2 birds. Homer Clark led the fast field of professionals in the Prelim inary handicap and annexed the trophy given for that event, and J. M. Hawkins won similar honors in the Midwinter.
