HIESTAND

MAY WIN

By Eddie Ash

HIGH AVERAGE TITLE

HAS EYE ON CLAYS

ENERALLY recognized as the world's marksman, Joe Hiestand,

ace shotgun Hillsboro, O., farm product,

who lives comfortably off the prize money he collects at trapshooting tournaments, has never won a national high average championship. . . . The high-average crown is to trapshooting what winning a batting championship is to a

ball player .

. Somehow, the title always has managed to

miss Hiestand by a fraction of a percentage point or so, although he probably shoots more registered targets than any other “claybuster” in the country, winter or summer. To date this year, Hiestand has fired at 3750 registered birds, and indications are that he will win the first

high-average title of his career .

. . He leads now with the

remarkable average of .9888—approximately 99 hits out of every 100 registered targets fired at.

HESTAND will have a chance to hike his average in the coming Grand American tournament, trapshootng’s annual world series, held at the permanent home grounds of the Amateur Trapshooting Association, Vandalia, O. Last year, Hiestand won the North American Clay Target title, the Doubles and the High Over-All crown at the Grand American, among other triumphs. As Ohio champion this year with 200 straight, he is eligible for the State Champions’ race, and will be among

With 67 Paces Field on Coast!

Telegrapher | Backed Heavily, For First Honors in Pub- | lic Links Tourney. |

By United Press HARDING PARK GOLF CLUB, | SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 10.—Don Erickson, 25-year-old telegrapher from Alhambra, Cal., went into the second round of qualifying play in the National Public Links Goif Tournament today an overwhelming favorite after shooting a 67, five under par, for a new competitive record. ‘ Erickson, whose wood game failed to impress, set the new record with uncanny chip shots and accurate putting. He used oniy 24 putts for | the 18 holes, holing out five times | on the outgoing nine and four times on a single putt coming in. On the 16th hole he chipped into | the cup from the apron of the green and on the 18th he sunk a 35-foot | putt to finish the best round among | the 191 golfers seeking the title now held by Pat Abbott of Hollywood. | Erickson was champion of public | links players in his section in 1934. | Three times before he had fought | | his way into the match play phase | of the annual championship and | once he was a semifinalist. In two other tournaments he failed to qual- | ify. Yesterday he shot 34-33—67. |

Abbott Shatters Par | Abbott, representing Pasadena, also shattered par with a round of | 33-3710. Close behind Erickson was Joseph Greene, automobile company worker from Lansdowne, Pa. who had a 33-36—69, three below par. Par also took a beating from Van Hall, Long Beach, Cal, with 71; from Robert Abels Jr., Santa Monica, also with 71, and Paul Genung, Dayton, O., 71. Par was equalled many times during the day. Among those turning in 72s were Edward Sams, Buffalo, N. Y.; Hall Dufour, Sacramento, Cal.; Claude Rippy, Washington, D. C., runnerup in the 1936 tourney; John L. Meier, Toledo, 0O.; Ralph Presby, Sacramento; Carl F. Kauffman, Pittsburgh, three times public links champion; Wes Berner, Portland, Ore.; Kauila Akau, Honolulu, and Lawrence Jankowski, Elizabeth, N.
