Jersey City Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., April 4, 1914. 
Several of our members were out trying to land a few 
trout 'to-day and only twelve of the boys showed up at 
roll -call. Dave Engle was high gun to-day with an 
average of 83 per cent, and Dr. Ittner won the $2.50 gold- 
piece offered by one of our enthusiastic members for the 
longest run during the afternoon. Doc had 22 in a row, 
beating Harvey by one target. Slater was out with a 
new gun again to-day and thought so much of it he 
sold It before leaving for home at a reduced price. 
Tommy Boothroyd stubbed his toe during his last frame 
and spoiled a chance to better his score made the last 
time he was out. Everett was full of 18’s, but from the 
looks of his score he must be about out of them, and 
next week will most likely show us something better. 
This is a delightful time of the year to spend an 
afternoon on the banks of the Hackensack shooting tar¬ 
gets and listening to the old-timers telling all about 
the times they have made wonderful scores and we in¬ 
vite all those that can shoot or who care to begin to 
pay us a visit and see what a grand sport it is. Targets 
trapped at one cent each. 
The scores follow in strings of 25:

Barring a trifle of wind, which made the targets some¬ 
what irregular in their flight, the conditions were good 
for the weekly club shoot on April 5, and some of the 
scores showed improvement over those of the past few 
weeks. In the telegraph team match for the DuPont 
trophy, Arthur Gambell was high man with 25 straight, 
running a close race with Payne, who finished in second 
place on 24, the total, for the team of ten men being 218. 
The last match in this series will be shot at the regular 
meet.on May 3. The club will not finish as well up on 
the list as would have been the case if the weather clerk 
had been good to them on previous shooting days. In the 
practice ecents Hammerschmidt did some nice work, 
breaking straight in two of the 25-target events, scoring 
49 out of his last 50, and making a run during the after¬ 
noon of 84 straight. Schreck broke 94 out of his last 100, 
and made one of the very few 25 straights of the shoot. 
R. Dibowski was in the 90 per cent, class to-day, but 
could not stay to take part in the team races. Ford 
was in good form, breaking 48 in his last 50 targets. 
In the team race Schreck’s bunch had the best of Ham¬ 
merschmidt by six targets, and in the return matches, 
with a slight change in the personnel of the teams, 
Schreck’s men came out ahead with 14 targets to the 
good on the two matches. Hammerschmidt and Butz fin¬ 
ished the afternoon with a friendly match at 15 targets 
each, the former breaking straight to 13 by Butz. During 
the afternoon Mrs. Meyers tried her skill at the clays, 
breaking 19 out of 50. Littick is a frequent visitor, but 
took his place on the firing line for the first time to-day, 
and made the good score of 20 out of 25. All he needs 
is practice to make some of the boys travel. Scbatzman 
broke 47 out of his last 50, a score that many of the 
younger shooters would be proud to duplicate.

The Cleveland Gun Club Company. 
Lakewood, Ohio, April 4, 1914. 
The Cleveland Gun Club weekly shoot, held yesterday 
(Saturday) afternoon at Shooting Park, was another of 
those dreary days that nobody cares for anybody and the 
attendance was small, but the scores were remarkably 
good with some, much so with Dr. Brown, as he turned 
in a 95 out of 100, which gave him another point for the 
Rogers championship trophy, 1914. It begins to look as 
if the doctor was on the job, having six scores to date, 
better than 90 per cent, out of 14 shoots, and if the other 
cracker-jacks don’t wake up soon the game will be a 
one-sided affair and the beautiful fob will be hung so 
high that it will never come down to anybody but Dr. 
Brown. So now, boys, if you are going to do anything 
get into the band wagon at once, as you don’t always 
get a chance of this kind; and if you don’t contest for 
them you can’t expect your friends to donate for fund! 
The Weekly Handicap.—Mr. Grant, with a soore of 
91 out of 100, was the winner of a set of sterling silver 
spoons which will be appreciated by his good wife, and 
if the other good wives would see these spoons more of 
■the hubbs would be on the job every Saturday.

DU PONT CHALLENGE TROPHY 
Again won by Barton Lewis with 
PETERS SHELLS 
^ The challenge match took place at Springfield, Ill., April 9th. Mr. Lewis and Mr. 
Frank Fuller tied on 92 ex 100; on the shoot-off Mr. Lewis won, 25 to 20. He also 
won High General Average for the tournament 144 ex 150. 
^1 He shot the brand—“Steel where steel belongs”—shells the same as he used in 
winning the 1913 Amateur Championship and the 1913 High Official Average. The 
trapshooter or field shooter who insists on having PETERS gets the advantage of the 
best ammunition quality the market offers.
