TRAPSHOOTING MATCHES, 
for the 
CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP OF NORTH AMERICA. 
Believing that the following plan will greatly increase 
the interest in trapshooting and help place the sport on 
a par, in the opinion of the public, with other sports, the 
writer makes the following suggestion: 
That five trapshooting leagues be formed, to be known 
as the Eastern, Southern, Central, Western and Canadian 
Leagues, made up of such clubs in the following states 
and provinces as care to enter and compete for the 
club championship of North America: 
Eastern.—Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachu¬ 
setts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Penn¬ 
sylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, District 
of Columbia. 
Southern.—West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, 
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Miss¬ 
issippi.. Florida, Louisiana, Arkansas. 
Central.—Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky,. Illinois, 
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North Da¬ 
kota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma. 
Western.—Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, 
Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, 
Arizona. California. 
Canadian Provinces.—Alberta, British Columbia, Mani¬ 
toba, Toronto, Saskatchewan, Quebec, Prince Edward 
Island, Ontario, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, New 
Brunswick. 
CONDITIONS OF MATCHES. 
The matches to run during the months of June, July 
and August. 
Each club to shoot twice a month on its own grounds. 
Amateurs only to compete, and no person may shoot 
with more than one club. 
New members allowed to contest in the matches after 
being affiliated with the club two weeks. 
All bona fide members eligible to shoot in all matches, 
but the ten high men each day to be the club’s team for 
that day. 
Matches at fifty targets per man. Targets to be thrown 
according to the rules of the Interstate Association. 
Every shooter allowed a practice or “warm-up” event 
of not more than twenty-five targets before taking part 
in the matches. 
When making entry, each club must state on what 
day it will shoot every match and in order for its score 
to count it must shoot on the day specified regardless of 
weaker conditions. 
Clubs must report their scores within one week after 
match is shot. Every club is urged to make report on 
the day of the shoot. Blanks will be furnished on which 
to send in report. 
Each club, when making entry, to post an entrance fee 
of $3.00, all of which will be spent for the purchase of 
prizes. The distribution of prizes will depend upon the 
number of entries in each league. If thirteen clubs, or 
less, enter in any league, there will be one prize to the 
club scoring the greatest number of broken targets in the 
six matches. For each additional ten entries or fraction 
thereof above thirteen, there will be an additional prize 
awarded to the clubs in the order in which 'they finish.

CLUB OHAMPIONSHIP OF NORTH AMERICA.

termined, the winners will shoot three additional matches 
on thir own grounds, and under the above conditions 
for the “CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP OF NORTH AMER¬

pile all data in connection with these matches, it will 
be necessary to have the “World’s Series” on the 
above dates. 
A complete report of scores will be sent to the sport¬ 
ing weeklies and to the local papers in every town from 
which a club has entered, immediately upon receipt of 
the scores made bv all clubs after each match. 
ADVANTAGES OF THESE MATCHES.

the scores of other clubs throughout the country.

We were hoping for one afternoon without wind and 
warm enough to go without heavy wraps, for our fourth 
telegraph match to-day, but it was not to be. Instead 
we had a cold, raw, strong wind which made very diffi¬ 
cult shooting. Straight scores were made by Patterson, 
Kelsey, Smith, Wright, Jerauld and Glover in the regular 
events, and Kelsey and Rommell went straight in the 
telegraph match. Covert and Patterson each got 24 from 
21 and 20 yards respectively in the Marlin gun event. 
All our events are handicap excepting the telegraph 
match. Scores:

American Canoe Association. 
April 3, 1914. 
The annual smoker of the Atlantic Division of the 
American Canoe Association was held on Saturday even¬ 
ing, March 14th at the house of the Hiawatha Canoe 
Club, 207th Street, New York City. 
The affair was under the able direction of Jack E. 
Gunther, of the Yonkers Canoe Club, and at present 
the president of the associated canoe clubs of the 
Hudson. 
Mr. Frank C. Sutro, one of the commissioners of 
the Interstate Park, gave an interesting description of 
the work of this commission and of its efforts to pre¬ 
serve the natural beauty of the banks of the Hudson 
for a recreation ground for all time. He also de¬ 
tailed the methods of planning for roads and neces¬ 
sary changes and at the same time preserving the 
camping sites along the river. Attention was called 
to the retirement, at the expiration of his term of 
as commissioner, of Mr. Stephen V. Hopkins who is 
also a member of the Atlantic Division and has done 
much to further the interests of canoeists in connec¬ 
tion with his work as commissioner. 
Resolutions were adopted calling on the governors 
of New York and New Jersey to have Mr. Hopkins 
reappointed. 
There were 125 present at the smoker, among them 
were the entire official board of the association and the 
Executive Committee; H. Lansing Quick, president of 
the Board of Governors of the American Canoe Asso¬ 
ciation; Irving V. Dorland ex commodore of the asso¬ 
ciation; W. P. Stevens, American Canoe Association 
32; George P. Douglas; Frederic Andreas; Robert F. 
Tims; Harry F. Noah; Frank T. Wilson; William J. 
Flynn; T. W. Cook; J. Augustus Edgar, and repre¬ 
sentatives of many of the canoe clubs along the Hudson 
The meeting was very successful in bringing together 
such a number of men interested in the American 
Canoe Association and gave them an opportunity to 
discuss plans for the coming season, which promises 
to be a very notable one.
