DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
A registered tournament will be given by the Hol¬ 
brook Gun Club, at Holbrook, Ariz., November 27. 
K 
Geo. W. Maxwell, the famous one-armed shooter, 
has an enviable record for breakage. During three years 
past he has shot at 38,000 aerosaucers, with a wreck 
average of 95 per cent. His long run record is 268 
straight. 
* 
Long Beach, L. I., is certainly a lucky spot for Carl 
von Lengerke. He captured high professional average 
at the two days’ shoot of the Long Beach Gun Club 
June 10 and 11, and on June 25, Von’s Cloud, his young 
setter pup, captured two blue ribbons and one red one 
at Long Beach Kennel Club show. Carl says he (the 
setter) is “some pup.” 
* 
W. A. Davis, Chairman, Tournament Committee, 
wired from Chicago, too late for correction in last issue: 
“We have secured permit from South Park Commis¬ 
sioners to hold international championship pre-Olympic 
carnival trapshooting tournament in Grant Park, in con¬ 
nection with all other games. Please publish in con¬ 
nection with the program sent you, and leave out 
‘under auspices of Chicago Gun Club International Ath¬ 
letic Association.’ ” 
“Ike,” “Tubby,” “Pike,” and “Chuck” are officers in 
charge of first annual tournament of Dows Gun Club, at 
Dows, la., July 8 . And if all they say is true, some 
shoot may be expected. Jack rabbit will get the jump 
on division of money. Program calls for 200 aerosaucers 
at total entrance of $24, with $100 added money. Take 
along your gun and get your cartridges at “Tubby’s,” 
while the cravings of the inner man may safely be left 
for appeasing by “Chuck.”

under the auspices of Greenwich Gun Club, July 4, 
with an all-day sweep and merchandise shoot July 5.

Corrections. 
The purse in the recent Grand American Handicap 
was announced as amounting to $4,646, when in reality 
it amounted to only $4,182, made us as follows: 
343 regular entries at $S .$2744.00 
58 penalty entries, at $13 . 15L0O 
29 Forfeited entries, at $5 . 145.00 
13 professional penalty entries fer targets only, $3 39.00 
58 professional entries for targets only 
501 total entries. 
Added by the Interstate Association. 500.00 
Total purse .$4182.00 
This made a slight reduction in the amounts won 
bv the several contestants who participated in a division 
of the purse. 
In the Consolation Handicap, W. F. Booker, Jr., 
was credited with winning $107.15, when, as a matter of 
fact, he was not entitled to compete for the purse in said 
event, as he had already won $44 in the Grand American 
Handicap. Checks have been mailed to the respective 
winners in the Consolation Handicap covering their pro 
rata share of the $107.15 credited to Mr. Booker. 
E. E. Shaner, Treas.
