pense. Mr. Billings, however, has written to the 
Olympic Committee about the plan, and is willing to 
take charge of all arrangements if others of the Ameri¬ 
cans are willing. Nobody is barred from competing in 
the individual Olympic shoot, no matter how poor his 
showing in the American championship. But it is only 
natural that those finishing among the leaders should 
get the preference on the team squads. International 
titles for five, ten and twenty man teams will be de¬ 
cided at Stockholm.

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Elmer E. Shaner announces he has just received word 
that the registered tournament of the Carlsbad (New 
Mexico) Gun Club tournament, scheduled for Oct. 9 was 
cancelled. 
The Glenwood Country Club, at Glen Head, L. I., 
is making arrangements for the instalment of three 
traps and the organization of a shooting department. 
This club is beautifully situated on Hempstead Harbor, 
on Long Island Sound, and is decidedly convenient for 
the New York business man interested in one afternoon 
a week at the traps. 
*» 
Every gun shooter is a pool or billiard enthusiast, so 
it will not be out of order to call attention to the new 
ruling of the National Amateur Billiard Association, to 
wit: Hereafter pool will be called “pocket billiards,” 
because of the odium attached to the old name on ac¬ 
count of the disreputable way some of the cheaper class 
of pool rooms conduct the game. You need not hesi¬ 
tate to invite a friend to a game of pocket billiards, only 
for a little time you will have to explain that you mean 
pool. 
V> 
Al. Bridwell, short-stop of the Boston National League 
Baseball team, is in line to give ex-ball player Lester 
German a run for the ex and active baseball player shoot¬ 
ing championship. Al. has been doing some fine work at 
the traps, not to mention a number of night matches in the 
basement of the residence of one of the National League 
presidents, where he cleaned up in several shoots with a 
prominent young local rifleman. It is whispered that 
Brid. has ambitions along the line of professional trap¬ 
shooting when Father Time puts kinks into his sliding 
joints and dulls the edge of his spikes. 
On Dec. 17, the Du Pont Gun Club goes into short 
clothes. No silver spoon yearling baby ever was more 
popular than this infant of Wilmington. When she 
extends an invitation to a party every good little gun¬ 
ner for miles around gets on his party manners, shines 
his shoes an,d hies himself thitherward to revel in the 
joys of a day with baby Du Pont. No finer nor more 
courteous hostess is recorded in the blue book of shoot- 
dom than this healthy, smiling infant, who has grown 
into a big child in one year, under the careful charge 
of nurse Doremus. The bay’s friends call him Ted. 
Here’s a bumper to him. Many happy returns of the 
day to the Du Pont Gun Club.

Charles W. Billings, one of the leading gunners of the 
New York Athletic Club says a picked team of American 
trapshooting experts will make the trip to Europe next 
summer to compete in the Olympic games at Stockholm. 
Invitations will be sent to all the most prominent ama¬ 
teur shots in the country to participate in the next 
national championship at Travers Island, and the title 
event will be in the nature of a tryout. There is no par¬ 
ticular association that is undertaking the project, and it 
is understood that each gunner travels at his own ex- 
Pelham Manor, N. Y., Nov. 7. —The wind it blew 
so’west, so’west, and the wind she blew some more. It 
girated the disks, hither and thither, and a mighty quick 
and guessful eye was required to get away with any 
sort of score. The particular brand of eye was in¬ 
digenous to the cranium of W. B. Ogden, who, 
shooting from scratch, won the Election day cup with 
42 out of 50; the distance handicap, with 20 out of 25. 
With a handicap of 2, the November cup went to 
Ogden after a shoot-off with F. II. Schauffler, the score 
being 19 to 18 out of 25. With a 1 bird handicap the 
Thanksgiving cup also will adorn the camp of Ogden. 
The Committee cup was with the magnetic influence of 
2 clays, spirited into the tent of Dr. De Wolfe, 24 out 
of 25. Eugene F. Crowe, with one at the go. in, got 19 
out of his alloted 25 and became possessor of the 
President’s cup.

Demopolis Gun Club. 
Demopolis, Ala., Nov. 1-2.—Even freeze-out ceases to- 
be interesting, if played in a cold room, when every 
member of the party has cold feet and finally things 
work toward a cold in the head, but trapshooting under 
like conditions isn’t conducive to a large entry list. All 
this happened here yesterday and to-day, only more so, 
because we had a vicious wind in our faces both days. 
Only nineteen hardy gunners could summon the courage 
to call pull, and none of these was able to- chalk up 
much of a score. T. K. Blount thawed his way into 
first honors with 274 out of 300. Dr. Lawson made two 
less for second. R. R. Skinner took third with one 
less. E. R. Holt was first professional with 282. 
Nov. 11.—Following the usual custom at the New York 
Athletic Club traps, one gunner won the majority of 
events in the weekly shoot at Travers Island_ to-day. Of 
the seven competitions, D. Lindquist led in four, al¬ 
though in each case he was aided by a handicap that 
shifted from two to three targets. He had to participate 
in shoot-offs of ties before earning legs on the November 
and President cups, but in the high average and Thanks¬ 
giving Day handicaps his margin was a clear one. Mr. 
Lindquist only recently joined the Mercury Foot squad. 
With conditions of light and win favorable, the scores 
returned by the twenty-two gunners were on the whole 
the best of the early season. The summary:
