Du Pont Gun Club. 
Wilmington, Del., July 20.—Twenty-five shooters 
shot this afternoon in the fifth contest for the F. L. 
Connable trophy, postponed from the previous Saturday. 
Two were visitors and two others were not eligible under 
the ruies of the club to win the trophy. This left a 
total of twenty-one competitors, and of that number Doc 
Steele carried off the cup with 24 out of 25 from the 
18yd. mark. It was a popular win, and puts him on the 
honor roll, which already bore the names of W. M. 
Foord, W. Edmundson and IT. P. Carlon (the latter hav¬ 
ing won the trophy twice.) The conditions provide that 
after the cup has been shot for twelve times, all those 
who have won the cup cue or more times shall shoot off 
for final ownership. L. L. Jarrell had just hung up a 
total of 23 out of 24 from 18yds. 
A special feature was a match between R. S. Robi¬ 
son, holder of the 1911 Class D cup. and Dr. E. Q. Bul¬ 
lock, challenger. Dr. Bullock succeeded in having the 
right to have his name engraved on the cup by beating 
out his opponent by the score of 31 to 28. 
On July 6, H. P. Carlon, H. W. Bush and Clyde Lee- 
don tied for the Class B spoon. To-day they shot off 
the tie, and on the first string of 25 targets Carlon and 
Leedom tied on 22, Bush scoring 21. The second shoot- 
off resulted in a win for Carlon by 23 to 20. 
Another match was also shot during the afternoon. 
This was between W. S. Colfax, Jr., holder of the 1912 
Class A cup, and Ward Hammond-, who challenged him 
for the trophy. Colfax shot in his usual good form and 
won easily, breaking 47 out of 50. 
Walker Matthewson got together a squad of five 
men to shoot under conditions that earned for them the 
title of “The Foolish Squad.” Each member of the 
squad shot at 25 targets and shot five different guns; 
that is, each man shot five targets first with his own 
gun, then passed on to the next position and shot with 
his neighbor’s gun, and so on. In other words, the gun 
never moved from its first location, but was shot by five 
different persons. Ed. Banks broke 23, W. P. Northcott' 
19. Ward Hammond 18, William Coyne 17, Walker Mat¬ 
thewson 16. 
Colfax made the best record on 100 targets, scoring 
96, Banks had 95. W. P. Northcott, a native of Chicago, 
but a regular visitor at and a member of the club, ran 
liis last 50 straight. Scores in the Connable cup event 
were as follows, each man shooting at 25 targets;
