TRAPSHOOTING LEAGUE IDEA IS BECOM¬ 
ING POPULAR. 
Following the example of the numerous gun 
clubs in and around Philadelphia and elsewhere, 
the trapshooters in Wisconsin and Illinois are 
forming a league. It is their purpose to hold 
monthly shoots at which teams composed of ten 
men from each city will compete. The cities 
already a part of the new league are Rockford, 
Ill.; Beloit, Wis.; Caperon, Ill, and Janesville, 
Wis. New teams will be added before the next 
shoot so that a hundred shooters will likely take 
part in November. The October shoot was the 
first meeting of the new league and was attended 
by forty enthusiasts from the above named cities. 
Good scores were made by all teams and the 
totals were close. A. J. Wagner, of Beloit, with 
96 out of a possible hundred was high gun on 
his team; Dr. C. B. Helm, with 94, being the 
best gun on the Rockford team; and E. P. Drake 
and C. E. Snyder with 92 each carried off the 
individual Janesville honors. By a strange coinci¬ 
dence all these winners used Nitro Club shells. 
The meet was held under the auspices of the 
Janesville Gun Club. That trapshooting leagues 
are bound to become more popular is a certainty 
if the enthusiasm that marked the formation of 
this new league is any indication of the sporting 
possibilities. The Philadelphia Trapshooters’ 
League has become a decided fixture and con¬ 
ducts some of the best-attended shoots held in 
the eastern States. A good, healthy rivalry be¬ 
tween the competing cities is developed, even as 
much as between the various cities making up 
a base ball league, while the opportunities for 
the trapshooter to enjoy his favorite sport are 
limitless. - 
TRAPSHOOTING IN ENGLAND AND 
AMERICA. 
In England trapshooting is rather a means to 
an end than an end in itself, for there it is re¬ 
garded primarily as excellent practice for field 
hunting. Field hunting plays a much more im¬ 
portant part in social life than it does in this 
country, and men who are guests at country 
houses about Ranelagh, Belvoir, and Hurlingham 
are expected to be proficient with the shotgun 
and qualified to participate in a grouse hunt. 
To speak generally, high scores are not the 
object in English trapshooting, the purpose be- 
The Race of Champions 
Record-Breaking Feats Unparalleled in Trap-Shooting History 
When Woolfolk Henderson of Lexington, Ky., breezed through the fifteenth Grand American 
Handicap, at Dayton, O., Sept. 8-1 2, 1914, he shattered all trap-shooting records. The three 
big events, including the Grand American itself, were all won by Mr. Henderson with—

In the National 1914 Amateur Championship at single targets, Mr. Henderson was pitted 
against the Champions of no less than 35 states and by breaking 99 out of 100 singles at 
16 yards, he established himself as the Champion of Champions. 
At Double Targets he also captured the amateur championship with 90 out of 100. His 
Grand American Handicap score was 98 out of 100 from 22 yards — a new world’s record. 
Mr. Henderson s world record-breaking victories were all made with

deserved recognition as always reliable at the traps or in the field.
