The Florists tightened their hold on first place in the Trap Shooters© League by defeat ing the Highland and Haddonfield teams on April 3 at Wissinoming, after one of the most exciting races of the season. The match vir tually was between the Florists and High lands, with Haddonfield as a rare possibility as a winner. Both the Wissinoming and Edge Hill men are running a neck and neck race for the lead and the result of yes terday©s match meant much to the two clubs. The shoot was undecided until the last High land man finished up his totals, it resulting in a Wissinoming victory by a margin of two targets, their total being 452 to the Highland©s 450, and Haddonfield©s 404.
