The Eastern Handicap 
Three Days of High Scores at the Bradford Traps 
Bradford, Pa., July 13.—The Interstate Association’s 
seventh Pastern Handicap tournament was held at Brad¬ 
ford, Pa., July 9-11, under the auspices of the Bradford 
Gun Club. 
The feature of the practice day, Monday, July 8, was 
the special match race for the Hazard double-target chal¬ 
lenge championship trophy between Mr. Fred Gilbert, of 
Spirit Lake, la. (holder), and Mr. Fred G. Bills, of 
Chicago (challenger), at 100 double targets. After the 
completion of the regular program, Elmer E. Shaner, of 
Pittsburgh, Secretary-Treasurer of the Interstate Asso¬ 
ciation, stepped to the firing line and announced the 
match between Messrs. Gilbert and Bills. Mr. Shaner 
stated that Chauncey M. Powers, of Decatur, Ill., would 
officiate as referee; that C. D. Henline would pull the 
traps, and that J. T. Skelly, President of the Interstate 
Association, would officiate as scorer. Mr. Shaner asked 
the spectators to refrain from any demonstrations until 
the last target had been thrown. 
At the end of the first half of the race Gilbert had 
such a lead over his opponent that it was apparent he 
would have no trouble to retain his title. At the close 
of the match, Gilbert received congratulations of his 
friends. The scores of the match race follow:
