Cincinnati G. C.

Wilmington', Del., Nov. 5.—The shoot-off for the 
two trophy guns in the grand gun handicap event was 
held this afternoon, seventeen women competing. Dark¬ 
ness prevented the shooters from finishing, so the final 
results will not be determined until next Wednesday. 
At the close of the shoot to-day, Miss Maude V. 
Moody and Miss Celeste D. Gentieu tied for the Cole¬ 
man du Pont trophy gun (a double barrel Fox trap 
gun), but' Mrs. H. J. Stidham, who tied with them, 
could not finish on account of the poor light, so there 
may be more ties next week. 
Miss Hammond stands high so far for the Marlm 
pun, but Mrs. Bertha McKaig and Mrs. B. V. Clark 
have tied with her, so there will have to be a shoot-off 
uext week to determine the winner. 
Both of the guns in competition are high grade trap 
guns, and the women are shooting a remarkably strong 
race for them , . 
In the Ramsay trophy event, five ladies with their 
handicaps, made perfect scores. This will also necessitate 
a shoot-off to determine the winner.

The second match in the series for the president’s 
trophy was shot on Nov. 2, under bright skies and ideal 
weather conditions. That higher scores were not made 
was due to the distance handicap which cost some of the 
shooters several targets in the five events. Supt. Arthur 
Gambell and Connelly from 19yds., and Dibowski from 
!7vds., tied on perfect scores, including their handicaps. 
High score in actual breaks was made by Dibowski, who 
smashed 87 of the clays. He was closely followed by 
Connelly with 86, and Twenty-gauge, standing at 22yds. 
the extreme handicap, came next with 83. Ike Branden¬ 
burg, of Dayton, O., found his extra five yards a little 
too' much, and they cost him about 25 targets. Johnson 
was put at 19yds. for his first contest, and failed to 
break his ordinary number. O. J. Holaday, the local 
professional, drew 225 r ds., and he also found the distance 
too much for him, although he is one of the quickest 
shots in the game. C. Rybolt had his first experience 
at 20yds. in this contest, and made a score which will put 
him nearer the traps in the next shoot. Jaggers is a 
new man at the traps; his score of 13 was a very credit¬ 
able showing for a beginner. Scores:
