1913 Prospects. 
BY E. R. iSHANER. 
Never at the opening' of any trapshooting season 
was the prospect for the future brighter. There is 
not a cloud discernible on the horizon. Members of 
the fraternity are, as a rule, above the influences 
which lead to bickering in some sports. A love of 
clean, exciting, scientific and high-toned sport con¬ 
trols them, and the subsequent rivalry is of a gener¬ 
ous nature that has a tendency to create and keep up 
interest in the pastime. I look for more contests 
and competitors at the traps during 1913 than ever 
before. That the new year will be productive of some 
excellent sport, I do not doubt. 
The annual indoor aerosaucer exterminating contest 
will be held at Sportsmen’s Show, Madison Square 
Garden, New York, commencing Feb. 27.

Philadelphia Trapshooters’ League 
The seventeenth annual indoor championship match 
and prize shoot of 1913 will be held under the auspices 
of the Zettler Rifle Club, 159 West Twenty-third street. 
New York, from March 15 to 22. Programs later. A. 
Begerow is President; F. Hecking, Secretary. 
E. R. Shaner, Tournament Manager, the Inter¬ 
state Association, writes us that “the Interstate As¬ 
sociation’s Southwestern Handicap tournament will be 
held at San Antonio, Tex., April 8-10, under the auspices 
of the San Antonio Gun Club. There will be $1,000 or 
more added money.” 
From Seaside Club at Briageport comes the cheerful 
news that they will send scores regularly to Forest and 
Stream. E. R. J.ewis, of this club, tells me that they 
have trapped 260,000 targets during the past two years, 
and hope to do better this year. This shows a healthy 
condition and commendable enthusiasm. Forest and 
Stream trappists will be .glad to see the scores and 
compare with their own. Thanks. 
It is interesting to note that Pittsburgh Athletic 
Club is going in for trapshooting again. Last year 
there were many enthusiastic regulars at the P. A. C. 
traps. Limited space and encroachment by factories 
made the game impossible. There is likelihood that 
grounds out of town will "oe secured this winter. “The 
Winged Head” of P. A. C. says: “Twenty-five thousand 
targets uere trapped in the short time the members of 
the club had grounds last year. It is indeed the sport 
alluring—the sport of kings.” W. G. Beecroft. 
Seaside Gun Club. 
Bridgeport, Conn.—The regular shoot of the .Seaside 
Gun Club was held New Year’s Day, it being the third 
of the winter series. A more perfect day at this time 
of the year could hardly be conceived for the sport, and 
a good crowd was in attendance. Special interest was 
centered in the club championship, a semi-annual event, 
and it developed into a most exciting event at the finish, 
with a display of skill seldom seen under like circum¬ 
stances. Messrs. Wilson, Cate and Vanstone tied up 
with 94 each out of their 100, and in the shoot-off at 25 
birds, "A'ilson went straight, and Cate and Vanstone broke 
24 each—a very pretty exhibition by all three men. 
Wilson had his eye on them most of the day, he having 
broken 49 out of his first 50. giving him the leg on the 
President’s cup. Hall, Wolfinger and W. Smith turned 
in perfect scores with their handicaps, in the handicap 
cup event. Smith winning out in the shoot-off with an¬ 
other perfect score, giving him the leg. 
Smith again tied up with Kellogg and Clarkson in 
the Island Brook cup event, and in the shoot-off Smith 
and Kellogg again tied up, Kellogg winning out in the 
ne.xt trial, giving him the leg. 
An added feature for the day was ten high gun 
prizes, with handicap, 100 birds, which were won as fol¬ 
lows: Cate (2) 96, W. B. Smith (10) 94, Wilson (0) 94, 
Williams (4) 94, Wolfinger (8) 94. Vanstone (0) 94,

Boreas took a hand with his great guns in the Jan. 4 
events of the Philadelphia Trapshooters’ League, but 
finally succumbed to the heat of enthusiasm of the mem¬ 
bers of the League. However, the presence of the griz¬ 
zled old veteran kept scores well down. Du Pont and 
Whites won their respective matches, thus remaining tie 
for upper berth. Nevertheless Du Pont showed the 
class, and all in all, went to the top in quality, though 
not in points. Meadow Springy lost to S. S. Whites by 
only 13 saucers, while Du Pont tore the rims off Glen 
Willow by 40 scalers. 
Highland went over to Camden, and by winning 
from Edge Hill tied Lansdale for second place. The 
latter beat Clearview, 430 to 418. The Highlands broke 
only 4 more than Camdens. Points scored and targets

Lansdale—Clearview. 
Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 4. — Lansdale won to-day by 
430 to 418, but not until after a stubbornly fought match. 
Lansdale brought over only fourteen men. Clearview 
could dig up only fifteen. It was too cold and blustery 
for the others. 
Metz, of Lansdale, carried off the high gun, losing 
but 2 out of 50. L. Swartz and Nice tied with 47, while 
Fisher led the Clearviews with 45. Lloyd Lewis, of 
Wilmington, shot in the match and broke 45. Scores:

Du Pont—Glen Willow. 
Wilmington, Del., Jan. 4.—The Glen Willow Gun 
Club, of Roxboro, Philadelphia, visited Du Pont to-day 
in the third match of the series of the Philadelphia Trap- 
shooters’ League. The Glen Willow boys, although the 
tail-end team in the league wdien yesterday’s race 
started, showed up very well, not only in point ot 
numbers, but also in the. scores made under adverse 
conditions and on a strange ground. Du Pont had 
forty-two men at the score; Glen Willow twenty-six, 
making a total of sixty-eight shooters; three not eligible 
to shoot in the race made seventy-one. 
The local club won out quite easily, but the vdsitors 
were by no means disgraced, as they shot under dif¬ 
ficult conditions, the majority of them having come in 
on a late train and only having a poor light to shoot in. 
The final scores of the ten high men on each team 
showed a total of 441 for Du Pont Gun Club, as against 
401 for the Glen Willows. 
The wind blew hard, but straight scores of 25 were 
made by L. C. Lyon. W. S. Colfax, Jr., and Edward 
Banks, the latter not being eligible to shoot on the 
home team. Curiously enough all these scores were 
made over No. 2 trap. Lyon and Colfax were high on 
the Du Pont team with 49 out of 50. The nearest to 
them was E. Gillinger, of the Glen Willows, with 45; 
J. Rigg, of the same club; J. H. Minnick and Walter 
Tomlinson, of the i)u Fonts, next with 44 apiece. The 
43s were: O. Wilde, of the Glen Willows, who had the 
misfortune to slip up on his last string, and W. Edman- 
son, E. E. d.i Pont and J. B. McHugh, of the home 
team, and two (W. Carter and E. Kinckiner), of the 
Glen Willows. 
Of the four on the home team, one had to be cut 
out of the honor list, and by the rules adopted in such 
cases, namely, the lowest score in the last 25 (H. P. 
Carlon, one of the Du Pont Gun Club’s wheel horses) 
had to be eliminated from the team. Two 38s, two 37s 
and one 35 found places on the Glen Willow team.

teams were as follows

Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 4.—Sixty-seven members 
took part in to-day’s match. The Whites won, by 449 to 
436, the last squad, which consisted of White, Mathews 
and Howard, finishing up with high scores. This trio 
brought in the required number to give the teethers 
their third straight win. 
The lowest scorer on the Meadow Springs team 
was Turner with 41. Griffith and Howard, of the 
Whites, and Sloan, of the Meadow Springs, were the 
leading high guns, getting 47 out of 50. Griffith, How¬
