Chicago Club Puts Itself on Record. 
At a recent meeting of the Camp Fire Club of Chi¬ 
cago the following resolutions, which are self-explana¬ 
tory, were passed: 
Whereas, in some states there is a disposition on the 
part of a few to dispute and contest the constitutionality 
of the Federal migratory bird protection law; and, 
Whereas, notwithstanding any law passed by Con¬ 
gress and signed by the President of the United States 
is good and sound law until determined otherwise by 
the Supreme Court of the United States; 'therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the Camp-Fire Club of Chicago and 
Hunters’ Fraternity No. 2 take this opportunity to ex¬ 
press its faith in said Federal migratory bird protec¬ 
tion law, and it hereby expresses its hearty approval 
of its provisions and does earnestly commend it to 
sportsmen and bird lovers of the country, and urge* a 
cheerful compliance with its provisions and all opposi¬ 
tion to said law should be by persuasive means dis¬ 
couraged; be it 
Further resolved, that copies of this resolution be 
mailed to the head of the Biological Survey, be given to 
the press and the secretary send a copy to Congressman 
Victor -Murdock of Kansas. 
Boston Athletic Association. 
On Saturday, March 8th, the B. A. A. Gun Club won 
the first section of the home-and-home inter-city shoot 
with the New York A. C. by forty-eight birds. The 
teams were composed of ten men, and targets were 
thrown, one hundred from the McCrea ‘traps and one 
hundred from the Sargent. The condtions were perfect 
for shooting, and unquestionably the largest crowd of 
members and their friends in the history of the gun 
club were present at this match. S. W. Putnam, 3rd, 
of the B. A. A., was the high gun, with the score «f 
196. High gun for New York was F. B. Stephenson.

Jersey City Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., March 7, 1914. 
Several members of the Jersey City Gun Club were 
over in New York at the Sportsmen’s Show trying to 
put up a good score to-day so as to qualify for the 
finals, and the result was a falling off in attendance, 
but those that were out had a royal time. The beautiful 
snow had to take the blame for several poor scores made 
by the boys to-day, but as it don’t hurt the snow and 
gives the shooter a good excuse, even if he didn’t shoot 
any better before it came, why what’s the difference as 
long as everybody is happy. 
Dixon put it all over the rest of us to-day and had 
things pretty much his own way all afternoon, finishing 
with an average of 86 per cent, for 175 targets shot at, 
■and the last time he faced the trap scored the only 
straight made to-day. Engle was second high with 
80 per cent. The scores follow in strings of 25 clays:

Telegraph Matches. 
Wilmington, Del., February 28, 1914. 
The telegraphic trapshooting matches inaugurated by 
the DuPont Trapshooting Club, of Wilmington, Del., 
are causing many clubs that ordinarily do not shoot at 
this time of the year to get -out -a good attendance at 
least once a month to compete for the handsome trophy 
offered the winner at the end of the five matches. The 
scores in many instances are exceptionally good, and 
the race, after the scores of the second shoot are -taken 
into consideration, is a close one. The “Far East” and 
the “Middle West” are at present fighting for the su¬ 
premacy of the “Telegraphic League” -and but one target 
separates the clu-bs representing those sections. The 
scores to' da-te follow:

■H. H. Dickerman, of, the Chicago Club, who travels 
extensively over the country, and who shoots at every 
opportunity, told me yesterday that trapshooters every¬ 
where are discussing these matches, and are interested 
in the results. He was at Portland, Oregon, not long 
since, and the boys had a big turnout for the Tele¬ 
graphic Match. I-t is also worthy of note that the Port¬ 
land papers have asked me to sf-nd them promptly all 
scores made in these matches. Mr. Dickerman was at 
Utica, Ill., when the Starved Rock Gun Club shot its 
last match, and he said he never saw such enthusiasm 
as the club members were taking in the telegraphic raee. 
Mr. Dicke.•>. is a member of the Chicago Gun Club 
and -s-avs they will show the rest of the clubs io«te 
shooting before the race is over.

Poor -old Cincinnati, good sports and deserving of 
better treatment at the hands of the weather man, have 
h-ad hard luck -in every one of their matches, and as a 
c-onseauence have turned in low scores—much lower than 
the standard of their club calls for. It is to be hoped 
that they get one or two chances to show what they 
really can do before the matches are over. 
Boston came back again this month and broke an 
average 'of 96 per cent, per man. Wonder what the 
Sioux City Indians will’ do with that. 
The Starved Rock Gun Club, with its excellent scores, 
is placing Utica, Ill., on the shooting map, as “she never 
was before.”
