on the records made in the Intercollegiate League 
matches of 1913. Class A is to consist of the twelve 
colleges whose averages were the highest in those 
matches, and Class B is to consist of the rest of the 
teams in the competition. 
[Du Pont Gun Club. 
The Du Pont Gun Club is planning on a big turkey 
shoot for Thanksgiving Day. The programs provide for 
a 50 bird event, over traps 1 and 2, with an entrance of 
$1.00 which includes targets. This shoot is open to all 
amateurs, and the shooters will be divided into five 
classes: A, B, C, D and E. A turkey will be put up 
for every ten entries, or fraction thereof, in each class, 
but at least two turkeys will be given in each class if 
the entries fall below ten. Contestants will be classified 
according to their records and the best judgment of 
the management. High Gun system to govern. En¬ 
tries may also be made for the price of targets only 
at usual club rates. 
We have also arranged for a miss and out event 
for a turkey, for amateurs only. This will be shot over trap 
No. 3 and tne entrance fee will be 15c or four entries 
for 50c, and any number of re-entries will be allowed. 
The entrance includes price of targets. This event will 
be somewhat of a thriller as the targets will be thrown 
about 65 yards and at extreme angles. All shooting will 
be from No. 2 position. A turkey will be given to the 
shooter making the longest run during the day. Ties 
will be shot off at option of interested contestants. If 
this isn’t an attractive program then we will “pass the 
buck.” 
As is usual on the occasion of Thanksgiving, President 
Wilson, and the Governors of the several states have 
issued their annual proclamations. Not to be outdone, 
President Coyne of the Du Pont Gun Club has also is¬ 
sued a Thanksgiving Proclamation, which is gotten up 
in unique style, and we doubt if anything like it has been 
sprung on trapshooters. It reads as follows: 
“The season is again at hand when we as trapshooters, 
according to a long respected custom, should give due 
consideration and thought to the serious problem now 
foremost in the minds of all true Americans. 
“For the Du Pont Gun Club the year just passed has 
been one of unprecedented activity anu prosperity. Never 
before in the history of the club had we so many mem¬ 
bers, and never before was the attendance at the weekly 
shoots as large as during the year just passed. It was 
the good fortune of the Du Pont Gun Club to win the 
championship of the Philadelphia Trapshooters League, 
and our efforts in staging the Eastern Handicap and the 
Delaware State Shoot were crowned with unusual suc¬ 
cess. Our annual dinner, the greatest event of its kind 
in trapshooting annals, will live forever in the minds of 
those who attended. 
“We are at peace with ourselves and the world, and 
the outlook for the future is exceedingly bright. Profit¬ 
ing well in the experience of the past, we hope to see 
our duty more clearly, so that the work of the future 
will stand out even better, and with greater satisfaction 
to our members. 
“Now, therefore, the Du Pont Gun Club do hereby 
designate Thursday, the Twenty-seventh day of Novem¬ 
ber, as the date of the annual Thanksgiving Day Turkey 
Shoot at the Du Pont Gun Club, and invite our mem 
bers and all trapshooters throughout the land to cease 
from their wonted occupations and assemble with us 
for the purpose of winning, if possible, a turkey, so 
that their day of Thanksgiving may indeed be filled to 
repletion with a realization of one of the best things 
in a material way this world has to offer—A prime, 
large, fat and juicy turkey. 
“In witness whereof, I hereunto set my hand and 
seal this tenth day of November, in the year of our 
Lord nineteen hundred and thirteen, and of the exist¬ 
ence of the Du Pont Gun Club, the third. 
“Signed, William Coyne, President. 
“By the President, 
“T. E. Doremus, Secretary.” 
This proclamation has excited the local shooters so 
that they are all planning on winning at least one 
turkey each. This, however, is quite impossible, and 
some will have to be disappointed. 
Among those who have expressed themselves on the 
subject are Capt. H. W. Bush, who said he had taken 
a correspondence course in turkey winning, and would 
bring home a bird Thanksgiving. Billy Highfield has 
had the underwriters insure his chances, and is now 
waiting in anticipation for the “fatal day” to arrive. 
Nels K. Smith, assuming a characteristic pose, stated 
that he was going to “Takhoma Turkey” and that was 
all there was to it. Nels always assumes characteristic 
poses, by the way. Lou Jarrell is going to be on hand 
with his trusty “Underwood” and promises to make 
the boys hustle to beat him. 
Last year we had Lester German the Du Pont pro¬ 
fessional secure for us the turkeys used at the Thanks¬ 
giving shoot, and as Lester was in town this week, 
we took up with him the matter of securing 20 birds 
for us this year. This Lester promised to do. Every¬ 
one knows that as a selector of turkeys, either by night 
or day, Lester has few equals, and no superiors. 
,T. G. Highfield has challenged W. M. Hammond for 
the State Championship Cup, and the match will be 
shot off at an early date. Mr. Highfield is one of the 
newer and younger members of the club, but has given 
a good account of himself in every shoot in which he 
has been a contestant. Du Pont Club members are 
looking forward with much interest to the result of this 
match. 
Our regular miss and out event which is to 
run all during this month is progressing nicely, thank 
you. There is $15.00 in the amateur purse and $5.00 in 
the professional. A. B. Richardson, winner of the 
Preliminary Handicap at Dayton is high over all to 
date with 18. Dudley Wood and John Minnick are tied 
with 14 for second place. 
The schedule for the shooting season of the Man- 
hasset Bay Yacht Club, opened November 16, the fol¬ 
lowing starting at 2 P. M., each Sunday:

Smith Gun Club Scores. 
Attendance is still affected by the gunning season 
at the Smith Gun Club traps. The turnout yesterday 
was exceptionally small for such a beautiful day for 
shooting. Those that did show up did justice to the 
sport by making creditable scores. 
J. Baldwin led the field for high gun honors with 
93 out of a possible 100 breaks to his credit. The

following scores were made: B. M. Shanley, Jr., 20, 
17, 19, 20, 23, 24; L. Pryor, 12, 12, 15, 17; J. Baldwin,

Cincinnati Gun Club. 
The third contest in the series for the President’s 
Trophy was shot on November 16. The threatening 
weather kept several of those who have started in this 
race from attending, and only nine shooters were pres¬ 
ent, two of them being professionals, and ineligible 
to win. The conditions were hard; targets climbing 
skyward, and the poor light making them almost in¬ 
visible against the leaden colored clouds. Morgan, 
shooting from 18 yards, was high man with 92, and 
was the only contestant to go straight in any one of 
the five 20-target events. In his last 60 he dropped but 
two targets. Supt. Arthur Gambell was high amateur 
in actual breaks, scoring 77 from 20 yards, and was 
high also in the total, getting 92 with his handicap. 
Kolb, from 17 yards, was second high with a total of 
91, including his handicap. Nemo, Schreck and 
Davies, with a distance handicap of 21 yards, and 
further handicapped by the hard conditions, were un¬ 
able to make their usual good showing. There will 
be a turkey shoot at the grounds on November 23, be¬ 
ginning promptly at 1 P. M. The program will con¬ 
sist of six events at 20 targets each, and two at 15 
targets each, a total of 150 targets. Total entrance $5, 
including price of targets; optional 50 cents . sweep 
m each event, divided 60 and 40 per cent, class shoot¬ 
ing. First prize in each event a ten-pound dressed 
turkey, second, third and fourth prizes in each event 
will be chickens; high guns, ties shoot off in next 
event. No contestant can win more than one turkey, 
but there is no limit to the number of chickens you 
may win, if you shoot well enough. If there should 
be over twenty entries, a turkey will be given to each 
of the six low guns who have not won prizes in any 
of the events.

West Jersey T. S. L. 
Riverton, N. J., November 15, 1913. 
With the advantage of having completed their 
string before darkness set in Riverton yesterday de¬ 
feated Farragut and West Collingswood in the second 
of the series of championship matches by the West 
Jersey Trapshooting League. The match took place 
at the Farragut Grounds, in East Camden, and Riverton 
was a winner by 23 targets over Farragut, and 44 over 
the West Collingswood marksmen. 
It was fast growing dark when the latter .two clubs 
finished and the handicap this imposed is evidenced 
by their scores. Riverton also won the opening tourna¬ 
ment a month ago, and is to the front with a big 
lead. Kling, of Farragut, was high for the afternoon 
with 47 out of 50, and was awarded a silver spoon. 
Lloyd R. Lewis and Fred Slear, professionals, gave 
exhibitions of their ability, Lewis getting 46 and Slear 
48 out of 50. Tourney scores:

Manhasset Bay Yacht Club. 
Port Washington, L. I., Nov. 16.—Energy vs. a 
northeaster and a nasty rain returned energy a winner 
in the opening shoot of Manhasset Bay Yacht Club 
today. The crowd didn’t need to “move up to the 
front” to get room at the traps, but those who water¬ 
proofed it had all the joy they wanted. Hagen Hoyt 
took the big bag, getting the leg on monthly cup and a 
twenty-five aerosaucer sweep. D. E. Smith made off 
with the twenty-five rock handicap, while T. E. Lewis 
kopped the fifteen scaler sweep—and all adjourned to a 
warmer, though possibly not dryer place.
