season at this popular resort,and Herbert L. Jillson’s 
management has been favorably commented upon. 
The Southwestern Handicap. 
The Interstate Association’s Second Southwestern 
'Handicap Tournament will be held at Oklahoma City, 
Oklahoma, April 14, 15 and 16, under 'the auspices of the 
Capital Gun Club. 
Shooting clay pigeons in Oklahoma City! And a gun 
club, too! Perhaps the average busy man who has not 
visited Oklahoma expects to see the club members out in 
breech clouts and eagle feathers, or with twenty pounds 
of lead and a big six shooter belted to each. 
Not many years ago a real frontier “gun club” could 
have been recruited in Oklahoma City at the crack of 
a gun, but frontier days and conditions passed quickly 
in Oklahoma City. The love of the gun was kept alive, 
however, in the earlier days 'by the excellent chicken 
and turkey shooting, and since the prairie chicken and 
the wild turkey have gone, the quail have increased 
under the fostering care of game laws rigidly enforced. 
Oklahoma City has put aside its frontier garb and 
habits. One would look in vain for evidence of a period 
when the conveniences of civilization were not at hand, 
so complete has its past been blotted out by skyscrapers 
office buildings, palatial hotels and modern homes filled 
with refinement, refining influences and all of the appli¬ 
ances and conveniences that make for comfortable living. 
The Capital Gun Club is not made up of “bad men,” 
with notches on their guns, but its membership, on ‘the 
contrary, is composed of men whose daily routine is 
largely indoors—in counting room, bank office, shop or 
merchandise store—and who enjoy the gun club meets 
the more because they take them out into the blessed 
sunlight and the pure air. The abundance of clear days 
has given impetus to the organization and has made it 
•one among the strongest organizations in the country. 
To those who contemplate attending the Southwestern 
Handicap assurances are given that all the hotel com¬ 
forts, and conveniences found in cities of the Indianapo¬ 
lis size will be at their command. They will also find 
hospitable welcome and will enjoy the companionship of 
men interested as they in outdoor sports. 
Oklahoma City’s transportation facilities are excellent. 
The four big railway systems, of the Southwest have 
lines entering, the. city and making excellent connections 
with other cities in all directions. Locally the city and 
interurban electric transportation lines give easy and 
speedy movement. 
Oklahoma City presents no points of historic interest. 
But it can show how the city of today looks when not 
hampered by traditions and the inertia of a people rev¬ 
eling in the glories of past achievement. Its population 
•of 72,000 lives in the present. Neither landmarks, senti¬ 
ment nor natural scenic beauty blocked the pathway of 
the builder of streets, business structures, public build¬ 
ings or home surroundings. When the city attained good 
headway it built for the utility and beauty of each indi¬ 
vidual structure with nothing of historic or natural inter¬ 
est to modify the ideals of architect or landscape gard¬ 
ener. Consequently, a city has been built more nearly 
in accord with modern ideals than any other on the 
American continent. A study of a modern city built for 
utility and its own beauty will be interesting to those 
who attend the Southwestern Handicap Tournament. 
THE PROGRAM. 
The Interstate Association desires that all trap shoot¬ 
ers will bestow their earnest attention on the many in¬ 
teresting events announced in this program. 
Progressiveness has ever been a conspicuous feature of 
the Association’s policy in respect to all trap shooting 
interests. And also it is the special care of the Associa¬ 
tion that first-class competition shall be provided at all 
of its tournaments. This year some new features of 
marked improvement have been introduced, which it is 
confidently believed will appeal to and be appreciated by 
all classes of trap shooters. 
The Squier Money-Back System, with the low entrance 
fees and losses paid back each day, provides competition 
for the beginner and the mediocre shot, who can com¬ 
pete in the regular program events and have a chance to 
win something if he is in good form, and if he fails to 
shoot up to expectations his sport costs him the price of 
targets only. 
The Optional Sweepstakes on each regular program 
event, divided on the High Gun System, provides com¬ 
petition for the more skillful shot who wants to take 
a chance of winning larger amounts than called for by 
the regular division. 
The Optional Sweepstakes on each day’s program and 
the Optional Sweepstakes on the three days’ program, 
both divided on the High Gun System, provide competi¬ 
tion for the expert shot who is willing to take a chance 
with contestants his equal in skill. 
In addition, each contestant who competes in the 
Regular Program events, has a chance to win a part of 
the possible surplus from the Special Fund created by 
the iSquier Money-Back System. 
The two Handicap Events are arranged on a basis of 
entry fees as low as is consistent with the equity of the 
events and the material values which should award good 
performance in the competition, and which are essential 
to it. A contestant may shoot for “targets only” in 
either or both events and be eligible to win any of the 
trophies that go to high scores. 
Thus, while competition is provided for all classes of 
trap shooters, and all entrants shoot over the same traps 
and in the same events, no one is required to compete, 
on an equal footing and at a financial loss, with his 
superiors in skill unless he so wishes. Professionals are 
barred from competing for money or trophies in all 
events, but are eligible to shoot for “targets only.” 
The Squier Money-Back System is a part of this pro¬ 
gram, but a contestant will not be obliged to compete 
in all regular program events of the Tournament, as 
heretofore, to have his losses paid back. The losses will 
be paid on each day’s regular program, and they will, be 
based on the regular program entrance, as follows: First 
day, $10; second day, $7, and third day, $7, less price of 
targets at 2 cents each. 
The Special Fund will be made up from one cent (ic) 
for each target trapped in the regular program events 
(with a guarantee of $300 or more from this source), and 
from the total amount derived from the extra entrance 
fee of $1 charged each Amateur contestant, which is in¬ 
cluded in each day’s regular program entrance. 
After paying each day’s losses out of the Special Fund, 
the surplus, if any, will be divided among the High Gun 
Amateurs, who shoot through the entire three days’ regu¬ 
lar program, a total of 350 targets. 
The Special Event at Double Targets, the Preliminary 
Handicap, the Southwestern Handicap and the Optional 
Sweepstakes are NOT included in the Squier Money- 
Back System. These events are separate from the regu¬ 
lar program, and it is optional with the contestant 
whether or not he makes entry for them. 
Nemours (Ladies) Trapshooting Club. 
Wilmington, Del., March 18, 1914. 
In spite of a blustery March wind there was a fair 
attendance of Nemours shooters at the traps yesterday 
and several members of the Du Pont Gun Club, hus¬ 
bands and brothers of the shooters, came out during 
the afternoon and made many helpful suggestions to 
the ladies. 
Mrs. Harry White served coffee and tea between 
squads which was much enjoyed by the shooters as they 
sat and chatted in front of fhe cheerful open fire. 
Miss Harriet D. Hammond, president of the club, 
made high actual score with 15 breaks out of twenty- 
five. She was presented with a handsome valentine, 
the gift of Mr. Joe Ben McHugh a prominent member 
of the Du Pont Gun Club. This prize was to have been 
shot for on the eighteenth of February, but owing to 
the bad weather the shoots were postponed and the 
club did not have the pleasure of shooting for Mr. 
McHugh’s prize until yesterday afternoon. 
In the handicap event for the Major Ramsay Trophy 
and the Booklover’s Contest, Mrs. E. L. Riley came 
out victorious. This makes the third week in succes¬ 
sion that Mrs. Riley has captured the 1914 Ramsay 
Trophy. She also carried off the eighth book in the 
Booklover’s Contest, a volume entitled “Fishing Holi¬ 
days” by Stephen Gwynn. Mrs. Riley has captured five 
of the twelve books donated by Mr. Fred E. Pond, 
editor of the Sportsmen’s Review. 
The high wind was not conducive to good scores but 
considering the conditions the women did very well. 
Scores (25 targets) were as follows: 
Miss Harriet D. Hammond, 15; Miss Margaret R. 
Woodman, 9; Mrs. Harry White, 6; Mrs. E. L. Riley, 
14; Miss Alice Riley, .10; Miss Eleanor P. Hammond, 
5, and Mrs. Chas. Springer, 2.

Cincinnati Revolver Club. 
The last contest in the third series of club team 
matches was shot at the Brendamour range on March 
18, and resulted in a victory for the Blues. This team 
has won the six matches of the series, and the mem¬ 
bers will go into training for the banquet which the 
Reds are to provide. The Blues had the advantage of 
two more men than the Reds in the last match, and 
for the series their total includes four more targets 
than that of the Reds. High individual score was made 
by Kenan, of the Blues, his first and fourth targets 
being duplicates of 46; six of the ten shots were 
centers, well launched. A. E. Forester, of the same team 
was second with 207, his last target showing 47, tying 
with Cist, of the Reds, for high 5-shot score. Pugh 
scored in the 40’s until his last target, and finished 
third on 202. On the Reds, K. W. Stevenson and Col. 
Hake tied for high on 198, with Cist second on 192. 
A new series will be started at the next meet, and some 
change in the personnel of the teams will be made, 
as s,oon as the official handicapper figures out the 
dope.
