Westy Hogans to Shoot for DuPont 18-Yard Mark 
Championship Target Trophy. 
This beautiful and valuable trophy, which was first 
placed in competition July 14th, 1913, is to be shot for 
at the 1914 annual meet of the Westy Hogans at At¬ 
lantic City, New Jersey. The “Tramps” have not de¬ 
cided on just what date the contest will be staged, 
but it is likely that it will be along toward the latter 
end of Westy Hogan week. 
This cup, now known as the 18-yard mark cup, is the 
old DuPont Live Bird Championship Trophy, which 
was first competed for at Baltimore, Md., October 22-24, 
1895. Mr. Fred Gilbert, making his debut among the 
crack pigeon shots of tbe world, won it after shooting 
into a tie with J. L. Brewer and C. Macalaster, and in 
doing so stepped into the front rank of shooters of all 
time without any preliminary or preparatory experi¬ 
ence, except what he gained in gunning for ducks on 
the lakes of Iowa and Minnesota, and for quail, prairie 
chicken, etc., on the prairies of the same states. 
During the succeeding nineteen years the live bird 
trophy was shot for many times, and Gilbert, Crosby, 
Jim Elliott and others won it from time to time. In¬ 
terest in live bird shooting waned, however, and trap¬ 
shooting has practically supplanted it throughout the 
country. Consequently, there was little competition for 
the live bird trophy, and about a year ago the DuPont 
Powder Company called the trophy in by paying the 
holder the fixed redemption fee, and on July 14th it 
took its place as the only “back mark” amateur chal¬ 
lenge trophy in the clay target game. 
Under the revised conditions it has been shot for 
five times, and in every instance has created a world of 
interest, and done much to stimulate enthusiasm in 
handicap challenge events. The record of winnings 
to date is: 
Date. Name of Winner. Where Shot. Score. 
July 14, 1913.—Wm. Foord, Wilmington, Del., 95 x 100. 
Wilmington, Del. 
Sept. 20, 1913.—(Bart Lewis, Atlantic City, N. J., 92x100. 
Auburn, Ill. 
April 9, 1914.—(Bart Lewis, Springfield, Ill., 93 x 100. 
Auburn, Ill. 25 straight in shoot-off. 
May 31, 1914.—Wm. Ridley, Utica, Ill., 93 x 100. 
What Cheer, Iowa. 
June 26, 1914—J. N. Knox, Cedar Point, Ohio, 94 x 100. 
Convoy, Ohio. 25 straight in shoot-off. 
These scores are remarkable when it is taken into con¬ 
sideration the fact that all targets are thrown full 60 
yards, and the shooting is from 18 yards rise. All 
matches are at 100 targets. 
ACCUMULATION PURSE POPULAR. 
One feature which makes the trophy so popular with 
shooters who have a pretty good opinion of their ability 
to smash targets is the Accumulation Purse. This is 
worked out as follows: Every amateur who enters a 
contest for the 18-yard mark trophy puts up an entrance 
fee of $10. Professionals may shoot for targets only by 
making entrance in the amount of $2. One cent per 
target for both amateurs and professionals goes to the 
club holding the shoot. One cent per target for both 
amateurs and professionals goes to make up the “Ac¬ 
cumulation Purse.” The other $8 put up by the ama¬ 
teurs goes to form the pot for which they shoot. Pro¬ 
fessionals are not eligible to win the trophy or compete 
for the purse. The purse for amateurs is divided high 
guns, with three moneys for every ten entries or frac¬ 
tion thereof. 
The amateur making the high score gets the trophy 
and first money, and he is subject to challenge under 
the following conditions: Challenges to be made in 
writing to DuPont Powder Company, Wilmington, 
Delaware, who notify holder. Within ten days holder 
must notify above company of his acceptance of the 
challenge and has the right to name the place and date 
for the contest, which shall not be later than forty-five 
days from the date of the DuPont Powder Company’s 
notice to the holder of the trophy. The DuPont Powder 
Company reserves the right to approve the selection of 
the grounds and the date of the competition. 
The holder of the trophy posts the cup in place of 
paying the $10 entrance fee, and regardless of whether 
or not he takes part in the competition, he must put 
the trophy up. When the match takes place, the cup 
automatically goes into “open competition” so that 
amateurs may have the same right of competing for it as 
the challenger and the holder. 
When the Accumulation Purse amounts to $200 the cup 
is called in by the DuPont Powder Company, who pay 
the then holder the fixed redemption fee, and place the 
cup again in open competition. This is the case at 
present, and under the care of Ted Doremus the sum 
of $200 is reposing in the vaults of the Wilmington Trust 
Company at Wilmington, Delaware, awaiting the word 
of the Westy Hogans as to who gets it. Wm. Foord, Bill 
Ridley, Bart Lewis and J. N. Knox all have “an in¬ 
terest” in the $200 and will undoubtedly shoot for it at 
the Westy Hogan shoot at Atlantic City. It is too bad 
that there will not be four moneys so that all can have 
a slice when this melon is cut. Billy Foord, by tbe 
way, won’t have any better chance of winning than 
will any of the others, even though he lives in the same 
city where the money is “on file.’ 
Nor do the shooters contribute the entire $200 to make 
up the Accumulation Purse, for the wise management 
of the aforesaid Doremus provided that the monev 1 
placed in the savings fund of the Wilmington Trust 
Company, and that means that about ten big round 
iron men, or $10, will be earned in interest. 
At the 1913 Westy Hogan shoot just an even fifty 
shooters entered for the 18-Yard Mark Championship 
Trophy, and it is freely predicted that at the 1914 shoot 
the number will be doubled. The cup, of course, goes 
into open competition again at the same shoot, while 
the four previous winners are shooting for the $200. 
When the cup was first put up under tbe revised condi¬ 
tions the DuPont Powder Company added $25 to the pot 
as a sort of a “nest egg,’ but it has been demonstrated 
that the cup is now able to “stand on its own feet” and 
the contests for it are getting more popular all the time, 
so a similar donation will not be necessary in tbe 
future. 
So much for the past history of the cup. Now for the
