Jack Frink
Worthington, MN
Jack Frink, Worthington plumber, won
the Grand American Handicap at Atlantic City in 1922 with a 96 X 100, then beat
three others in a shoot off. I quote from my trapshooting book about Frink's victory; "after the first 50 windswept targets, Frink himself didn't
think he had a chinaman's chance. He has dropped four targets.
However, the fat man from Worthington pulled himself together and crashed his 50
straight. His 25 straight in the shoot off gave him a long run of 75 from
the (limit was 23 yards in those days) 23 yard mark."
