No bett:er-uatured or more modest, unassuming man can be found 

 in the ranks of trap-shooters than he who is known to those who 

 attended the Wiluiington shoot as Harrv ■'Hire-a-hall" Hartlove. 

 Mr. Haiiiove is a good shot at either targ,!tB or Uve birds, iVoni a 

 trap or on any kind of field eame. altliough he never pretends to 

 possess more than averac^e skill. Every man, however, has his one 

 conceit and in Harry's ease it relates to his ability (?) to shoot 

 "crap," at which game be considers liimself a niaster, while his 

 friends declare that he does not Icnow a little bit about ''shootrng the 

 game." BUly Fieles says tliat tmtil he and II. A. Penrose tnke Harry 

 fo Staunton," Va., the latter will never understand the game.

Committees in charge of 

 tournaments and members 

 of trap clubs in general are 

 usually willing to acknowl- 

 edge "that the success of 

 theu' shoots are due largely 

 to the "booming" they re- 

 ceive from the sportsmen's 

 journals. Some of them, 

 however, do not seem to be 

 aware of the fact that these 

 journals can say little if 

 anything in support of a 

 shoot unless they are first 

 apprised of the nature of 

 said shoot. In a number 

 of instances we have re- 

 ceived notice that a certain 

 date was claimed for the 

 tournament of a certain 

 club, and after inserting 

 the same in our Ust of Trap 

 Fixtures, would hear no 

 more from the club until 

 too late to help them 

 "boom" their shoot. For 

 instance, our last issue went 

 to press at 3 P. M. on May 3. 

 On the same day we re- 

 ceived a copy of the pro- 

 gramme of the Ohio Trap- 

 Bhooters' League, whose 

 annual tournament began 

 on May 9 and closes to-day- 

 On the same day we re- 

 ceived a programme of a 

 shoot to take place in Cali- 

 fornia on May 7. Both of 

 these were too late for use, 

 and these are only a pair of 

 maR,y like occurrences. We 

 are willing to help along all 

 clubs at all times, and if 

 they wish to help us to help 

 them, they must remember 

 to send us progra m mes so 

 they will reach us at least 

 two weeks before their 

 shoot takes place. Oblige 

 us in this respect and we 

 willbeUberal m our "puff- 

 ing."
