80 j 
failure was on the fourth bird on his last trip to the 
traps. It was apparent from the jump that Springer 
was not in his usual form. He missed the thirteenth, 
fifteenth and twenty-third targets in the first twenty- 
five and fell down on the sixth and fourteenth in the 
second lot, the half-way mark showing the challenger 
with a perfect score and the champion with 45. In the 
third twenty-five Springer failed on fourth, seventh, four¬ 
teenth, fifteenth and twenty-second, and in the last 
squad the third and the twenty-second got away. 
Vonkattengell was also the star in the two-man 
shoot, which north Jersey captured by a score of 93 to 
90. He missed but three out of fifty and his partner, 
James, fell only one short of that mark. Four targets 
got away from Springer and Hineline fell down on six. 
Perfect weather prevailed and a big crowd saw the 
marksmanship honors and the coveted cups carried off 
by the challengers. Summaries:

Du Pont Gun Club. 
Wilmington, Del., Dec. 13.—Autumn-like weather 
served to attract nearly one hundred marksmen to the 
traps of the Du Pont Gun Club this afternoon to par¬ 
ticipate in the Coleman du Pont spoon event. An 
added attraction was the competition for the State cham¬ 
pionship between W. M. Hammond, the holder, and H. 
P. Carlon. the challenger. Hammond retained his title 
by a margin of two birds, winging 91 out of his century, 
while the best Carlon could do was 89. 
Another special event was the Class A challenge 
cup match between Eugene du Pont, the holder of the 
championship honors in this class, and W. S. Colfax, 
Jr., the challenger. Du Pont lost his title, breaking but 
43 out of 50, while Colfax smashed 47 discs out of 50. In 
Class A, of the spoon event, A. B. Richardson, J. R. 
McHugh and A. H. Lobb tied with 24 out of 24. In 
Class B, H. W. Bush, Stanley Luchton and Isaac Turner 
tied with 23 out of 25.

Independent Gun Club. 
The Budd-Davis race was the feature of the shoot 
and although the field was conspicuously shy of entries 
there were enough gunners present to keep things mov¬ 
ing. The pitcher, which was coveted by all had the 
usual Independent conditions wrapped around it, namely 
too targets per man with a distance and added bird 
handicap, with all tie scores of 100 or better to be shot 
off in extra events with the handicaps prevailing. 
Budd and Davis were the only sharp-shooters to 
climb to the century mark, Davis breaking 83 of his 
actual hundred, which with a handicap of 17 just en¬ 
abled him to round out the century mark. Budd 
cracked 90 of his lifeless skimmers and having a dead 
bird allowance of 13 he was three over the 100 figures 
when the final count was made. This called for a 
shoot-off and the two gunners toed the mark for 25 
birds. At the termination of this chase they were still 
deadlocked with 25 all. Rather than continue the tar¬ 
get test the two veteran gunmen agreed to take a 
chance on the coins to determine the winner, and Budd 
having the better luck, gained possession of the pitcher. 
Bill Clegg, with 91 dead ones out of 100, grabbed 
the silver dipper offered for the best actual score on a 
century. Budd apparently had this spoon clinched un¬ 
til Clegg, who was performing in the last squad of the 
day, rung up high man on actuals by outshooting the 
Pemberton crack by a blue rock. £. G. Ford, with 
98, was awarded the spoon for being runner-up to Budd 
and Davis, while Fontaine won the B dipper after out- 
shooting Edwards in an extra event, 23 to i7Jd- On 
the day’s events they each totaled 79. Scores:
