Skeet
(Continued From First Page.)
fashionable lady member from abroad
of the skeet club.
A/TR. BENJAMIN THAW, former
^ American Ambassador to Great
Britain, Is now vice president of the
National Capital Skeet Club and an
ardent hunter and skeet shooter. At
least a hundred of the leading physi
cians and lawyers of the Nation's
Capital also belong to its leading
skeet club. And. In the main, they
ere active members who oil their
automatic shotguns regularly because
they use the selfsame weapons fre
quently In war on the flying targets.
Such prominent medicos as Drs. Mc
Clennadln. Don Johnson, Walker.
Kirby Smith and Don Knowlton, and
barristers like A. F. Prescott, John
McClure and “Nubby” Jones, among
many others, rate as regular partici
pants In the skeet-shootlng contests.
In looking over the handicap list
we noticed with Interest that George
Deyoe is the No. 1 sharpshooter and
probably the best skeet shooter In the
entire Washington region, although
Dr. Don Johnson, reared on a Western
ranch and a seasoned big game hunter,
runs him a very close second. In
third place is Larry Williams, Jr., a
12-year-old lad, who selected a shot
gun as his first toy, if the way he
nicks the skeet targets at all angles
and levels ,1s any criterion by which
to Judge. Young Williams, son of a
father who is an enthusiast over
both sheet and field gunning, has been
carefully coached and brought along
to where he now is Junior champion
skeetman of the Atlantic seaboard.
It is a moot question that there's a
more skillful junior gunner in the
country today than this local lad.
Larry’s brother Leonard, a 10-year
old, Is another prodigy with a shot
gun. A. F. Prescott, Jr., a youth of
about 18, Is a fine shot and bolds his
own against many of the adult skeet
era at the National Capital Club.
Vincent Tompkins Is No. 4 on the
handicap roster, with Dr. Currey, A.
F. Prescott, Mr. Vance, William Coe,
William Leetch, H. F. Walters. Joe
Morrison and Andre Plot completing
the list in the order named of. the
dozen foremost marksmen. The out
standing woman shooters include
Mesdames A. F. Walker, Jones. Dyer, .
Prescott, Merrill, Tompkins, Williams
snd Coe. Mrs. Walker is the current
Maryland champion, winning her title
In the State contests at Towson. In a
recent trial she broke 92 out of 100
targets.
You can gain some idea of the In
terest of Washingtonians and their
nearby Virginia and Maryland neigh
bors in skeet by the fact that 169
rounds—the shotguns barked exactly
1,225 times—were fired at the Na
tional Capital Skeet Club during a
recent Sunday afternoon. On that
nccaslon there were guests teams from
the Kenwood Skeet Club, Skyland
Skeet Club, Alexandria Skeet Club,
Laurel Skeet Club and Towson 8keet
Club, In addition to 50 or more of the
National Capital Skeet dub men on
band blasting away at the flying clays
and having a thoroughly splendid
time enjoying the sport.
SKErr SHOOTING, the Invention
of W. H. Poster, now president of
the National Skeet Shooting Associa
tion, came Into country-wide being
in the United States a little lees than
a decade ago. Prior to that time, trap
shooting had ruled as the best avail
able substitute for field shooting. The
typical trap weapon is a long-barreled,
single shotgun, designed to throw
close patterns; a steady stance was
__ . _
the layman, trap shooting is more an
approximation of target practice;
ikeet shooting la the closest known .
imitation of quail, rallblrd and other
field shooting
The National Capital Skeet Club
supports four skeet shooting fields, so
that ISO or more gunners can partici
pate in the matches simultaneously.
There are eight shooting stations es
tablished on the semi-circular line of
fire on each field, these stands being
numbered consecutively.
Japan has forbidden ex-service men
to participate in politics.
