Nov. 9, 1912 
The Du Pont Gun Club. 
Wilmington, Del.. Nov. 2.—Alden B. Richardson, 
of Dover kept the title of State champion in a match 
to day, beating J. H. Minnick to a frazzle. 
Each man shot at 100 targets, the score being 97 
to 91. Minnick lost in the first half, over-shooting his 
third, ninth and fourteenth targets in the first string. 
Richardson dropped only his twenty-second target. 
In the second string the title holder broke twenty- 
five, scoring 49 out of his first 50. In his second 
twenty-five, Minnick lost his thirteenth, sixteenth and 
twenty-second birds. Score, 49 to 44 at the half. 
In the third twenty-five Minnick gained two, break¬ 
ing them straight. Richardson lost his first and 
twentieth Score, 72 to 69. 
In the last quarter both men broke straight until 
the eighteenth, when Minnick dropped one, and then 
dropped his twentieth and twenty-fourth. Richardson 
broke his straight, winning by six targets. 
The score follows: 
Events: 12 3 4 
Targets: 25 25 25 25 Total. 
Richardson . 24 25 23 25 97 
Minnick . 22 22 25 22 91 
Another feature of the day was between J. B. Mc¬ 
Hugh, challenger for the 1912 Class A trophy, and Eu¬ 
gene E. du Pont, holder, at 50 targets per man. 
Neither man shot to his form. The final score was 42 
to 34 in favor of McHugh. 
Mr. McHugh’s victory in this race, and Mr. Rich¬ 
ardson’s success in defending his title to the State 
championship, brought about an interesting condition 
of affairs. Mr. McHugh had previously challenged the 
winner of the Richardson-Minnick match while Mr. 
Richardson had challenged the winner of the E. E. 
du Pont-McHugh race. As a result the two are matched 
to shoot two separate and distinct races. The first 
match will be for the 1912 Class A trophy at 50 targets, 
the second for the Delaware State championship at 100 
targets. 
The special club program included the E. E. du Pont 
team trophy contests. Thirteen teams entered, but only 
one team managed to secure the full maximum of 50 
breaks, handicap allowance included. This team was 
H. P. Carlon (Class A) and S. G. David (Class C), who 
broke 24 and 21 respectively, and with their respective 
allowances of 1 and 5, managed to score the highest 
possible. Eugene du Pont and Dr. A. Patterson as one 
team S. C. Newman and W. G. Wood as another, and 
W. Edmanson and J. T. Roberson as a third team all 
scored 48 targets and took second place. Dr. Horace 
Beets, and Victor du Pont, Jr., took third honors. 
The several team scores were as follows:

Bourbon Gun Club. 
Bourpon, Md., Oct. 30.—Twenty-four scale bird 
devotees set forth their arguments in a merchandise 
controversy here to-day. Most every one took home 
something in the way of a souvenir, a few remembrances 
being in the shape of shoulder portraits in black and 
blue. Several new men were welcomed and encour¬ 
aged to try again. Brother Hymer, from the pink sheet 
squad of Remington, cheered the weak and jeered the 
strong, metaphorically of course, in the latter instance.

Inman D. Russell, Pres. 
Narine and Field Club. 
Gravesend Bay, N .Y., Nov. 2.—The opening day 
of the trapshooting of the Marine and Field Club was 
very successful, everything going along nicely, the 
weather condition was perfect for shooting, and the at¬ 
tendance was fair, as a few of the shooting members 
were out of town. 
The opening event of the day was a trial shoot of 
25 targets from scratch, as follows: S. P. Hopkins, 
D.D., 21, E. H. Lott 21, C. M. Camp 16, C. B. Lud¬ 
wig 16, P. R. Towne 14, H. D. Lott 11. Tie was not 
shot off. 
The following handicaps were given out by Chair¬ 
man C. M. Camp for the November cup, 300 targets 
with handicaps, the best 100 targets from the regular 
D. Church' 18.

Mr. John M. Knox offered a very pretty silver 
pencil for this event, which was won by E. H. Lott, 
shooting from scratch. These scores also go on the 
monthly cup if the gentlemen care to select from this 
hundred at the end of the month; but as there are 
two holidays and four more Saturdays, the gentlemen 
with low scores have a good chance to overcome the 
high scores. 
Mr. W. H. Davol, who has been away from the 
city shooting in the Catskill Mountains, came back 
this afternoon, but came too late, as the gunners stop 
shooting after they finish the 100 targets, but he went 
out and tried 25 targets and got 18. He is one of our 
old gunners, and will be shooting here the entire sea¬ 
son. Leo H. Bender, Supt. 
Birmingham Gun Club. 
Fifteen shooters were at the weekly shoot of the 
Birmingham Gun Club on Oct. 26. Good scores were 
made. The weather was very nice for shooting, a light 
wind caused the targets to jump some. Major Winters, 
of Montgomery, paid us a visit, as did also Mr. Board- 
man, of Louisville, Ky. Professionals, Tom Cassity, H. 
Hamilton and Dick Leland were present. Some of the 
beginners are shooting very well. J. De Jarnette, Jr., is 
still leading on the Du Pont trophy. 
Shooting will continue every Saturday afternoon dur¬ 
ing the winter. Visitors are always welcome to the 
Birmingham Gun Club. Professionals and trade repre¬ 
sentatives are specially invited to come to Birmingham 
and get their winter’s practice.

Daniel Boone Gun Club. 
Martiiasville, Mo., Oct. 20.—Only ten exponents of 
the gentle art of aerosauccr extermination were ob¬ 
servable here to-day, but those ten enjoyed themselves. 
J. Mutert, Ahmann and Lichtenberg appeared in the 
class, each clearing the ambient atmosphere of 37 of 
the 40 “birds” that scaled across the horizon. Fred 
Suhre passed up two opportunities and finished fourth 
with 35. The scores:

P. S. A. L. Championships. 
Peeksioill, N. Y., Oct. 21.—The rifle shooting cham¬ 
pionship of the Public Schools Athletic League were de¬ 
cided here on Saturday last. The shoot was held under 
the supervision of representatives of the War Depart¬ 
ment and the State National Guard, who were agreeably 
surprised by the fine performances of the boys. All the 
records made in the last Public Schools Athletic League 
outdoor rifle tourney, at Creedmoor, L. I., in 1907, were 
eclipsed. 
Manhattan schools led the van. The individual 
championship was won by J. Pullman, of the High 
School of Commerce, with the excellent score of 96 out 
of 100. 
The competition among first teams for the Du Pont 
trophy also resulted in a victory for Commerce with 192 
out of 250. The second teams contest, for the Ullman 
trophy, was won by Morris High School with 183. De 
Witt Clinton carried off the plaque for the greatest num¬ 
ber of qualifications of junior marksmen. 
The individual title was decided in the junior marks¬ 
man qualification shoot, in which the War Department 
presented silver medals to those who succeeded in scor¬ 
ing at least 35 standing and 40 prone, for the minimum 
total of 75 out of 100, at the 200yd. range. 
One hundred and thirty lads competed in the morn¬ 
ing and fifty-nine qualified. The boys used the regula¬ 
tion army service Springfield rifle, which was quite a 
change from the sub-target machines.
