FRANK LAWRENCE. 
Birmingham Gun Club. 
Birmingham, Ala., July 11, 1914. 
Owing to the rain very few shooters reported at the 
Birmingham Gun 'Club at their regular weekly shoot. 
Considering the hard conditions very good scores were 
made. We had with us Geo. Hillman and Tom Cassity 
(professionals) from Nashville, Tenn. 
Mrs. Garl led the shooting for the day with 93 out 
of her 100 shot at, followed closely 'by John Fletcher with 
92. Cornwell, Mrs. Garl and H. Garl each made per¬ 
fect scores of 25 straight. Garl made long run for the 
day with 38, Mrs. Garl 36, Cornwell 32. 
Programs will be out in a few days for the Alabama 
State Shooting Tournament to be held August nth and 
12th. 
There will be a special exhibition shoot at the picnic 
of the East Lake Orphanage on July 30, to be held on 
the Fair Grounds. The committee of arrangements will 
give a handsome silver trophy to the winner of the 
100 target race. The shoot will take place at 2.30 on 
the Birmingham Gun Club grounds. All shooters are 
invited to attend this shoot. 
Scores as follows:

EXPLANATION. 
A shooter starts with an added target handicap based 
on her previous shooting and the above scale of handi¬ 
capping. 
Illustration.—A shooter who averages 10 “dead” tar¬ 
gets out of a possible 25 would therefore begin the 
competition with a handicap of 7 “added targets.” A 
shooter thereafter handicaps herself in the contests by 
her scores. Illustration.—The shooter mentioned above 
begins with a handicap of 7 by reason of averaging 
10 out of a possible 25. At the first event she breaks 
8—her score for this event would be 8 plus the 7 “added 
targets,” or 15. However, on the second event she gets 
9 “added targets” by reason of breaking 8 on her 
previous event. If on the second event she should break 
18 targets her score for this event would be 25, not 27, 
as it is impossible to score better than 100 per cent. 
In the third event she would get o “added targets” by 
reason of having broken above 17 targets in preceding 
event. 
The final winner is the shooter averaging, with the 
handicaps, the highest percentage on the targets scored. 
Shoot-offs, if necessary, will be conducted on the basis 
of the above scale of handicapping, and it is under¬ 
stood that the management reserves the right to make 
an adjustment during the contest or during the shoot- 
off, if thought advisable to do so. 
In the regular handicap event yesterday afternoon, 
Dr. 'Seward was high and was awarded the Ramsay 
trophy until the next regular shoot. 
Mrs. iChas. Springer, who made second high total 
score, received the seventh book in the Consolation 
Contest, entitled “Poems of Rod and Gun.” Scores

Miss Lannan Wins the Rutter Trophy. 
Doctor Seward Holds the Ramsay Medal for This Week. 
Yesterday marked the closing shoot for the Rutter 
trophy, a beautiful silver loving cup, presented to the 
Nemours Trapshooting Club by Mr. David R. Rutter, 
assistant advertising manager of the E. I. du Pont Co. 
There was a close race for the cup, but it was tri¬ 
umphantly carried off, at the close of the shoot yester¬ 
day afternoon, by Miss Marie V. Lannan, who had made 
the highest total average between the dates of April 
15th and July 15th. Miss H. D. Hammond, Miss Amy 
Schofield, Mrs. Harry White, Miss J. P. Hirat. Mrs. 
Ghas. Springer, Mrs. E. L. Riley, Miss Bessie V. Car- 
son, Miss Alice Riley and Mrs. W. A. Joslyn pressed 
Miss Lannan hard, however, most of them losing by 
only a small fraction of a point. 
The conditions governing the contest were as follows: 
Competition to be at 25 targets and shooters to be eligi¬ 
ble must compete at least on eight different shooting 
days. “Added” Target system of handicapping, as 'be¬ 
low, to govern: 
A shooter breaking 17 (or above) receives 0 added targets

Not many members attended the weeklv shoot on 
July 12, and the four, who took part in the shooting 
certainly paid for their sport. The mercury stood at 
114 on the house veranda, and the wind was like a 
blast from a furnace, making the heat still more un¬ 
endurable. The shooting was delayed until late, hoping 
for a little let-up in the torridity, and consisted of sev¬ 
eral team .matches, and a three-cornered match from 18 
yards. Butz and Meyers had the best of the first match 
by six targets, and, in the second match, allowed their 
opponents three targets, with the result of a victory for 
the latter. In the next two matches the handicap was 
reduced to two targets, the third match resulting in a 
tie and the fourth being won by Ford and Holiday 
without the aid of their handicap. Ford was high man 
with Q3, and Meyers second with qo. The latter also 
won the 18-yard contest by a single target. The pro¬ 
gram for the registered tournament to be held on Au¬ 
gust 13 and 14 is in the hands of the printer. There 
will be nine events each day, at a total of 150 targets, 
with an entrance of $3.00, which entitles the contestant 
to compete for average money and trophies. Three 
trophies will be distributed, Lewis Class system, Pine- 
hurst Plan, scores on the first day to classify, and win¬ 
ners decided by scores made on second day. A number 
nf optionals are provided, so that those who want a 
chance to win a big wad may be accommodated. The 
hich average purse will consist of 1 cent per target, 
with $25 added, and will be in the two days’ shoot.
