McHugh Still Delaware Champion. 
They do say that the only way to avoid baldness is 
to keep the hair from falling out. True enough. But 
the surest way to raise hair is to slip down to Delaware and 
see a shoot for the State championship, particularly a 
shoot between E. E. du Pont and J. B. McHugh. Inci¬ 
dentally, our heading—“McHugh Still Delaware Cham¬ 
pion”—is misleading, because the said McHugh is any¬ 
thing but “still,” because there’s a new aspirant for 
championship honors every few days, and so Brother 
McHugh must keep his gun Nyoiled and ready for im¬ 
mediate title-defense. E. E. du Pont gave McHugh a 
run for his title that was enough to give the average 
shooter nervous prostration. On the first 100 birds—the 
number called for in the match—each contestant had 
92 dead. Twenty-five more were trapped, and each 
man got 23, and with this sign on ’em, one or the other 
was due to skiddo—Du Pont fell for the hoodoo, and 
missed 5 out of the next added string, while McPIugh 
lost only two. The final score was: McHugh 13S; Du 
Pont 135, and that’s why hair lotion will be literally a 
drug on the market,—the contest was a satisfactory hair- 
raiser. W. S. Colfax, Jr., who made the best score of 
the day, 96 out of 100, in the regular program, broke 
through the lines and challenged McHugh for the re¬ 
tained title. 
Runs of 25 straight were made by J. T. Skelly, J. T. 
Robertson, L. D. Willis and W. S. Colfax, of Wilming¬ 
ton, and Lester S. German, of Aberdeen, Md. Walter 
Huff, of Macon, Ga., broke 95 out of 100. 
After successfully defending the Class B challenge 
cup several times, W. M. Hammond was defeated by 
T. W. Mathewson, the score being 40 to 35. 
The winners in the weekly shoot for the Coleman du 
Pont merchandise prizes were: Class A—Eugene E. du 
Pont, 23 out of 25; Class B—T. Roberson, 23; Class C— 
G. F. Ford, 23. The full scores follow, at 25 targets each:

GREENER GUNS 
ALWAYS WINNING 
F OR so. many years the winning gun in competitions all over the world 
has been so frequently a Greener, as to constitute a record never 
before equalled and unlikely to be surpassed by any maker or com¬ 
bination of makers, English or Foreign. 
At the Ohio State Tournament, 1911 , Mr. J. A. Penn, of Cincinnati, 
using his Greener gun, was high man with a clean score of 50 , leading the 
professionals as well as the amateurs. 
The same shooter divided the money in the Grand American Handicap, 
killing his last 50 birds straight. Naturally Mr. Penn is delighted with his gun. He voices the 
opinion of thousands of shooters when he writes, “The old gun won me the championship of \\ est 
Virginia some years ago, and could not be bought at any price, and this after twenty years continuous 
service. I have been a life-long friend and admirer of the Greener gun and shall continue to be.
