Eastern Handicap. 
The Interstate Association’s eighth Eastern Handi¬ 
cap tournament will be held at Wilmington, Del., July 
15, 16 and 17, under the auspices of the Du Pont Gun 
Club. 
Those shooters who attended the Eastern Handicap 
at Wilmington in 1911 will recall that it was one of the 
good shoots of that year—the coming tournament will 
be no exception. 
The Du Pont Club, now nearly three years old, is 
much better equipped to care for the convenience of 
shooters, and the city of Wilmington, with the new 
Du Pont Hotel, can well look after their personal com¬ 
fort. 
The Du Pont Gun Club was organized in November, 
1810. It has a membership of six hundred. The club 
house and grounds are commodious and arranged for the 
comfort of participants. The club grounds are easily 
reached by two trolley lines, the grounds being a short 
walk from the trolley, with plenty of shade trees, ample 
porch room and other conveniences. 
The conditions governing the Eastern Handicap are 
as follows: 
One hundred targets, unknonwn angles; handicaps, 
16 to 23yds.; high guns, not class shooting; $200 added 
to the purse. The number of moneys into which the 
purse will be divided will be determined by the number 
of entries. Entrance, $10, targets included. 
The winner of first money is guaranteed $200 or 
more; the winner of second, $150 or more, and the win¬ 
ner of third, $100 or more. If first, second and third 
moneys fall below these amounts the difference will be 
made good by the Interstate Association. 
A trophy will be presented by the Interstate Associa¬ 
tion to the amateur contestant who makes the highest 
score - . , , , . , 
Regular entries must be made at the cashier s office 
on the shooting grounds before 5 P. M., Wednesday, 
July 16. Penalty entries may be made after this date, 
up to the time the first gun is fired in event No. 5, on 
July 17, by paying $15 entrance, targets included. 
DIVISION OF MONEYS. 
Regular program and double-target event, Rose Sys¬ 
tem, ratio points 5, 3, 2, 1. Optional sweepstakes, per¬ 
centage system, 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent., class shoot¬ 
ing; ten entries and under, three moneys, 50, 30 and 20 
per cent. 
To be eligible for the Squier money-back system, a 
contestant must compete in all regular program events. 
The special event at Double targets, the Preliminary 
Handicap and the Eastern Handicap are separate from 
the regular prgram, and it is optional with the contestant 
whether or not he makes entry for them. The Squier 
money-back system does not apply to the double target 
event, the Preliminary Handicap and the Eastern Handi¬ 
cap. 
The Squier money-back system is a part of this pro¬ 
gram. It was originated by L. J. Squier, of Pittsburgh, 
Pa. It designates a special fund created for the purpose 
of paying back the losses, or a share of the losses, of 
those amateur contestants who compete in all regular 
program events of the tournament and fail to win the 
amount of their entrance fees, less the price of targets. 
All contestants must shoot through the entire regular 
program to gain an interest in this fund. The special 
fund at this tournament will be made up from one 
cent for each target trapped in the regular program 
events (with a guarantee of $550 or more from this 
source), and from the total amount derived from the 
extra fee of $1 per day charged each amateur contestant. 
Any contestant who competes in less than the total 
number of regular program events each day will be 
charged ten cents for each event in which he competes, 
which sums also will become a part of the special fund, 
but such contestant will have no interest in the Squier 
money-back system. 
ADDED MONEY. 
There will be $1,000 or more added money, made up 
as follows: Added to the Eastern Handicap, $200; trophy 
for the winner of the Eastern Handicap, $100; added to 
the Preliminary Handicap, $100; trophy for the winner 
of the Preliminary Handicap, $50; one cent for each 
target trapped added to the Squire money-back special 
fund, $550 or more, making a total of $1,000 or more. 
If 55,000 targets are not trapped in the regular program 
events, the difference will be made good by the Inter¬ 
state Association and the Du Pont Gun Club. 
The scores made by contestants at single targets in 
the 16yd events at this tournament will be included in 
the official averages of the year, as the tournament is 
registered.
