Philadelphia Trapshooters’ League 
Du Pont Gun Club’s win to-day put them into first 
place, and should they win out. as they likely will, it will 
be the first defeat suffered by the dentists since the season 
of 1910-11. W hites dropped to a tie for second with 
Hig-hland, I^nsdale and Meadow Springs,. The greatest 
interest centered in the White-Du Pont match. This 
proved to be the most important of the season, and no 
less than ninety-seven shooters participated in the con¬ 
test, a record for a single match in the League. 
W'hile the argument went on for top berth, six clubs 
trying to get near enough to reach the men higher up. 
Meadow Springs defeated Glen Willow at Roxborough 
by 395 to 372; Highland beat Clearview by 377 to 295; 
l.ansdale took one from Camden by 399 to 365. This 
places Clearview, Camden and Glen Willow on even 
terms for third place. There never has been a better 
tournament in the Trapshooters’ League than the present 
octagonal affair. 
High guns were: Griffith, of the Whites, and 
Guest of the Du Ponts, with 48; McCarty, of the High¬ 
landers, and Noah Clark for Lansdale. The points 
■scored and targets broken follow:

Ph!I.adei.phia. Pa., Feb. 1.—M’ith two teams on even 
terms in the series of shoots of the Philadelphia Trap- 
shooters’ League, Du Pont, with ten high scores out of 
fifty-four shooters, gave tbe Dentists a bad trimming 
to-day, final being: Du Pont 441, M'hite 432. Du Pont 
now leads all the clubs in the tournament by a margin 
that will, without doubt, bring them out at the end of 
the season champions of the Association. Jesse Griffith, 
of the Whites, and P. D. Guest, of Du Pont, tied for 
high gun with 48; and H. L. Morgan and W. S. Colfax, 
Jr., of Du Pont, and C. H. Newcomb, of the Philadel¬ 
phia aggregation, tied for second with 46. It was any- 
thin.g but an agreeable day for high scores, as there was 
a very uncertain wind blowing. Scores:

New York A. C. 
Pelham Manor, N. Y., Feb. 1.—This was Stein 
day, for this better every day cracker got away with five 
out of nine events. His share of the swag included 
limbs on club trophy, monthly cup, February cup, 
Travers Island trophy and 100-target handicap event. 
Guess w'e wdll have to cut down Brother’s Stein’s free 
targets. Dan McMahon slipped out of the East long 
enough to get scratch 100-target event—and it took only 
86 to get aw'ay with it. J. G. Batterson disseminated 19 
out of 25 from 18yd. line, thereby taking away distance 
handicap event. 
That well-known medico, E. K. De Wolfe persuaded 
two events his way—the take-home and two specials. 
The first took 22 from a gift of Z and the second with 
(2) 23, after a shoot-off with O. C. Grinnell, who splat¬ 
tered 19 out of 25 from scratch. Scores:

Du Pont Gun Club. 
Wilmington, Del., Jan. 30.—A special shoot was held 
here to-day because a lot of good shooters, including 
Fred Gilbert, were in the neighborhood, as well as to 
spruce up a bit for the attack on the S. S. White bunch 
of tooth pullers on Saturday. Just to show that he hadn’t 
forgotten how. Brother Gilbert picked 96 scalers out of 
a mighty uncertain wind, through which only 4 escaped. 
Guy E. Holohan succeeded in eliminating 93 of his 100, 
which tied him up with that sterling amateur, A. B. 
Richardson. W. S. Colfax, Jr., shot at 75, out of which 
he bagged 71.
