In Class AA last week, Ralph Smooth of Kenton, Ohio won the shoot-off against famed Steve Crothers of Chestnut Hill, Pa., with 50 to 49 after both had broken their first 200. Two days later, Crothers defended the title he won last year in the shoot for State Champions with 199 out of 200 and then 50 straight in the shoot-off against Charlie Bogert of Sandusky, Ohio. His daughter, Alice Crothers, won a shoot-off for third place in the Women's National Amateur Championship after a Mrs. H. S. Grigsby of Oklahoma City had won it with 93 out of 100.
Men's championship in doubles (two birds in the air at once) went to O. C. Bottger of Fairfield, Iowa, for 191 out of 200; women's to Alice Crothers (151).
