Not for many months has such a crowd been seen at 
the grounds as assembled on Nov. 5 to take part in the 
last of the series of money-back tournaments for this 
season. Unfortunately, for various reasons, many of 
the shooters were late in getting over, so that it was 
found necessary to cancel the advertised program and 
arrange the events to suit those present. G. G. William¬ 
son, of Muncie, Ind., was delayed by an acident on the 
railroad, and did not reach here until late in the after¬ 
noon. He shot in only two events, but put up the best 
scores made in any two events, missing but two targets, 
a 96 per cent. gait. J. S. Day, a professional, in the 
second to the fifth events made the best score of the 
day, breaking 94 out of 100. After that he shot in three 
events, using different guns, and his scores suffered. The 
last events of the day were shot over the set of expert 
traps. These were pulled from the pit, as the electric 
pull was not in order, and as one of the shooters said, 
you got unknown traps, unknown angles and unknown 
time, conditions which did not make for nice work. 
There were twenty-four shooters present during the 
afternoon, most of them shooting in two or more 25- 
target events. A number from nearby towns were here 
to get a little practice before the opening of the game 
season, and probably did not do so well on the clay 
birds as they would have done in the field on quail. 
Dameron and Richards were the only members to shoot 
for the trophy, which is now in competition, and they 
scored 45 and 38 respectively. The next regular shoot 
will be held on Nov. 12. The weather conditions were 
very good, there being no wind to interfere with the 
flight of the targets, and it was not so cold as to be 
uncomfortable on the firing line. Scores.

A special shoot at live birds was held on Nov. 9, 
nine shooters participating. The day was chilly, with 
a raw wind and gray sky, altogether making far from 
ideal weather conditions. The light failed quite early 
in the afternoon, and it became difficult to see the 
dark-colored birds. Two events were shot before ap¬ 
proaching darkness stopped the sport. 
In the trophy race there was an optional $2 sweep in 
the last 15 birds, Luverne (Gould), Woodbury and 
Schreck tying on 14; Robertson and Koch 13 each; Wal¬ 
ker 12; Grump and Payne 10 each. 
Luverne and Woodbury tied for the trophy (a two- 
piece set of cut-glass inlaid with silver) on 23, and as 
darkness prevented a shoot-off, they decided flipping a 
coin for first choice. The birds were a fair lot. Quite 
a few sitters, some of which developed much speed when 
they did start, but also a good number of hard ones, 
which were pretty evenly distributed among the contest¬ 
ants. Vcige used a 20-gauge gun, which handicapped 
him to some extent, though he made a number of ex¬ 
cellent kills of hard birds with it.

• Oh! 
You 
Du PonL 
Almost everything in Wilmington has a tablet pasted 
on its front telling its age and reason for being. Now 
comes the jolly little Du Pont Gun Club with an an¬ 
nouncement that on Dec. 17 it will, with proper cere¬ 
mony, put the date mark upon its front. It will be 
one year old that day. The celebration will take the 
form of a blowout, not automobile nor booze, but a great 
big shoot. While the information gleaned from Secre¬ 
tary Doremus is not final, it reads well already: 
“It is our intention, at the present writing, to have a 
100-target distance handicap race, with some attractive 
prizes, which will be given a little later, when our plans 
crvstalize. The entrance for this handicap trophy race 
will be $2, which will include lunch and price of targets. 
The shoot will probably start at 11 A. M., entries closing 
at 1:30, on Dec. 16. 
“It is now our idea to provide a separate trophy for 
professionals, as we feel that the success of our club is 
due in no small measure to> the assistance rendered us 
by the professional shooters. We hope to have one or 
two rather unique features which will appeal to the con¬ 
testants. 
“Lloyd R. Lewis, of Atglen, Pa., will cashier the shoot 
and will be assisted by T. S. Chalfant, and the other 
officers of the club. This will insure a well managed 
shoot. 
“It is barely possible that during the anniversary 
shoot Geo. Lyon and Lester German will shoot for the 
72. C. cup, emblematic of the target championship of 
the world. We have installed at the club five expert 
traps, which will be used for this race, and will be in use 
at any time from now on. As our plans materialize, we 
will keep you posted.” 
Get ready to go down to Wilmington and make a 
noise like Ballistite. 
Larchmont Y. C. 
The only thing that will give Westchester county 
trapshooters a chance to own a trophy will be to have 
R. L. Spotts arrested for exceeding the speed limit 
between Travis Island and Larchmont. He has already 
run on high gear into the big events in the two afore¬ 
mentioned clubs, and created havoc among the medals. 
On Election day he ran for high gun on the Larch¬ 
mont Gun Club ticket and was elected by 125 votes, a 
majority of one over C. W. Billings. This same Bill¬ 
ings won the 50-target special with 47 kills. He found 
things easy in the 25-target trophy match, and chalked 
up a straight. Tom McCahill and J. Corbett took the 
remaining prizes. Summary:

Y ale—Princeton. 
Princeton, N. J.. Nov. 11.—With 37 targets to the 
good, Yale went away with the match against Princeton 
here to-day. The only shooting of note was that of 
Biddle, of Yale University, who made 49 out of his 50, 
doing pretty shooting throughout. Final score was 
230 to 193.
