DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
The great big annual tournament of Avondale Gun 
Club, Chicago, 111., will be held on July 27. Ask Sec¬ 
retary James F. Clancy, 2826 North Troy street, for in¬ 
formation.

Theodore Roosefelt (put this into English to follow 
me) did not emulate the great T. R.’s shooting in Africa, 
as the press agent tells it. This new T. R. shot in the 
Eagle Grove (Iowa) tournament—see another page—and 
v/as a day and a half late at the shoot, and broke—well, 
look it up. 
It 
Oh yiz. If ye have nought else to do—or, if what 
ye have scheduled for doing is not a date beyond wreck- 
—go where your watch is your time-table, and see 
Du Pont tear the stuffins out of Meadow Springs in 
the final (?) shoot for championship of Philadelphia Trap- 
shooters’ League. Should be some shoot. 
K 
From Robin Hood comes this; “A good ‘old fash¬ 
ioned shoot,’ this. Don’t say what chance have we got? 
come down and have some fun. Here is your chance to 
win a prize at a shoot if you shoot your average. Robin 
Hood Gun Club, Concord, Staten Island, N. Y., Tues¬ 
day, June 3, at 10 A. M. Take Staten Island Ferry to 
St. George, then Richmond trolley car.”

Hercules 1913 long run trophy is a solid gold watch 
fob, of an extremely handsome design, and will be 
donated by the Hercules Powder Co. to both amateurs 
and professionals, under the following conditions; To 
any amateur who in the regular program event at any 
registered tournament shall break 100 straight or better 
when using either E. C. or Infallible (or both powders). 
Should an amateur, who has already won a Hercules 
1913 long run trophy, make at any time prior to Jan. 1, 
1914, one or more long runs of 100 straight or better 
under the above conditions, he will be awarded a solid 
gold bar. The same conditions prevail so far as pro¬ 
fessionals are concerned, except that professionals are re¬ 
quired to break 125 straight or better. 
The Hercules 1913 Gun Club trophy is similar in 
design to the long-run trophy, except that it is made 
of sterling silver instead of gold. The conditions under 
which this trophy is donated to gun clubs are exceedingly 
simple, and will be left largely to the club managements, 
but the Hercules Powder Co. is not willing to donate 
one of its trophies as a prize at any merchandise shoot 
or for a tournament. The idea is to make it “the bone 
of contention” in a series of events at regular club shoots, 
and among the members of the club only. An ideal com¬ 
petition would be a series of monthly contests at 25 or 
50 targets each, such series to consist of at Ibast six, 
eight, ten or more contests. Allowances to be awarded 
the weaker shots in any tvay agreeable to the club man¬ 
agement. The winner to be the man making the highest 
aggregate in four, six or more such contests—four, if 
only six contests are held; six if there are eight contests, 
and so on.

DuPont Gun Club. 
Wilmington, Del., May 10.—Du Pont set sail for 
Hercules, but couldn’t develop enough shot power to 
get away with the race, consequently Eugene E. du 
Pont is not Delaware State champion aerosaucer stopper, 
while Edwards Banks still has the wing in his gallery. 
’Tis said that neither shooter was in true form, but when 
one thinks over 90 rocks blasted out of 100 drilled, it’s 
not so bad as to be rotten form. The final score was; 
Banks 90, Du Pont 75. By innings it looks somewhat like 
this: Banks 22, 24, 23, 21; Du Pont 17, 17, 22, 19, which 
latter is not unhung form for E. E. D. P. 
The regular Coleman du Pont spoon event was shot 
with thirtv^eight entries J. B. McHugh was high man in 
Class A with 24 out of 2.5; H. B. Bush high in Class B 
with 22; ("lass (?—E. M. Ross, 16; Class D—E. R. Jenks, 
17; Class E—W. F. Webster, 14. Those who made high 
scores were: J. B. McHugh, 91 out of lOO; J. H. Min- 
nick 91 out of'lOO, W. S. Colfax, Jr., 90.
