Default High Amateur in 1915 with a Parker

http://www.la84foundation.org/Sports.../SL6619029.pdf
For the second successive year Woolfolk Henderson of Lexington, Ky., has the honor of leading all of the amateur shooters of the country who competed in registered tournaments of the Interstate Association with an average of .9753.
Note the gloved left hand and 'boot' in the image.

In 1914, Henderson won the GAH with a 98x100 from 22 yards, the Amateur Championship of U.S. with a 99x100 from 16 yds, and the Amateur Doubles Championship of the U.S. with 90x100 from 16 yds.

Elmer Shaner congratulates Henderson

That Parker is pretty high-stocked too.

Just like all of them, he shot for the companies paying. At home in my stuff I have a picture of Woolfolk from, I believe 1913, and he is shooting a Lefever and representing Peters Cartridge Co.
