Trapshooter Banks: Well, Ted, baseball is a great 
sport, isn’t it? 
Teddy High Gun: It sure is; without it some of 
■our leading vaudeville stars would have no summer 
■employment. 
Last week I said that State Champion Von Lengerke 
had beaten Louis Colquitt for New Jersey honors. This 
was one of those “inadvertents.” Al. Ivins took 
“champ” away from Colquitt and in turn let it slide 
before Von Lengerke’s accurate fire. The fact remains 
that at this writing E. Von Lengerke, of the firm of 
Von Lengerke & Detmold, is champion aerosaucer ex¬ 
terminator of the State of New Jersey.

The Swedish rifle clubs, in response to the Ameri¬ 
can invitation to send a team of marksmen to the United 
States, are making efforts to organize the strongest pos¬ 
sible combination of riflemen to participate in the tour¬ 
nament. Swedish riflemen proved the closest rivals of 
the Americans in the shooting contests at the Olympic 
games, where they led all other nations. They know 
each other’s caliber, and Capt. P. H. Hedenbald, presi¬ 
dent of the Swedish division of the International Rifle 
Union, is of the opinion that some keen contests may 
therefore be expected.

Wilmington, Del., Nov. 9. — As another instance of 
the winnings of persistence, to-day J. B. McHugh took 
Delaware State championship away from A. B. Rich¬ 
ardson. The chasm between winner and loser was 
bridged by just one target. The fact that neither score 
was intimately related to standard form of either shooter 
was due to a squally cross-wind and kaleidoscopic clouds 
overhead and behind the traps. The race was interesting, 
as may be seen by the total, 91 and 90. Each man broke 
7 straight, then Richardson undershot No. 8, at which 
McHugh sympathetically “went and done the same.” 
Title holder passed up his tenth. Relative positions re¬ 
mained the same until the 31st bird syncopated away 
from McHugh’s fire. At first quarter score stood: 
Richardson 23, McHugh 22. 
Each man lost his fourth, from which scale they 
puffed along to the tune of dead until the sixth, missed, 
w hich soared away from McHugh. Richardson then 
passed his 12th: then McHugh lost No. 20, and Richard¬ 
son his 24th. Total, 45 to 44; Richardson one up and 50 
to go. 
In next 25 each broke 23. On last 25 McHugh cleaned 
his shooting glasses and wiped the champion’s eye 
“worsen ’Norm’ scoured ‘Bob’s lamp”—to speak in a 
Collierlv sense. The challenger disposed of 17 aero- 
saucers before he tripped on the 18th parallel and 
spilled his load into the ambient atmosphere. Richard¬ 
son dropped his 3d, 15th and 20th, while challenges keen¬ 
eyed selected successfully the discs from between at¬ 
mospheric molecules and luminous particles on to his 
last bird. 
In Class A trophy event, McHugh scoured the 
Senator’s son from Dover, 47 to 45. 
For the Coleman du Pont silver souvenir spoons 
there were 40 contestants in the several classes, who

Bumstead. of Chicago, and Herbert Taylor, of Joplin,
