$500.00 $256.40 
429.10 327.10

J. F. Couts, Jr. 143.05 70.00 
Total . $2,502.55 $1,423.17 
Under this proposed system $1,079.28 would 
have been taken from the eight high men, and 
more evenly distributed, at the same time the 
eight high men could not complain of their win¬ 
nings. 
The contention is that $500 is too much to 
put up as a prize for shooting 100 targets, es¬ 
pecially when a medal goes with it which is em¬ 
blematic of the Championship of America. None 
of the shooters, probably, who shot in this event 
ever made $500 in one day in their lives, and the 
chances are that few of them ever will. 
Under the proposed system, as compared with 
the old system, the next 47 men would have re¬ 
ceived : 
Old Proposed 
$2,289.00 $2,309.56 
which under the old system used up the entire 
purse, when added to the winnings of the first 
eight men, while under the proposed system there 
would be remaining $1,036 to be divided among 
the next 54 men. 
Under this system it is also suggested that 
medals be given to the first four or more places 
in the Grand American Handicap event, as well 
as a medal to the high man in each class. 
Some of the advantages of the suggestion are: 
It makes for a more even distribution of the 
purse, and about doubles the number of money 
winners, and increases the number of trophy 
winners. 
Should be a great forward step in creating 
a demand for trophies, and the elimination of 
money shooting. 
Should increase the number of entries in the 
big event. 
Would eliminate much of the dissatisfaction 
if the event were again won under the same 
conditions as in 1914. 
Would advance the cause of “class shooting” 
and shooting for trophies. 
And should, at least, be worthy of thoughtful 
consideration, before another Grand American 
is run on the old plan. 
It provides 2 moneys for every 10 entries or 
fraction thereof which is impossible, although 
desirable, under present method. 
Should 'increase entries for the Consolation 
event. Now, when some shooters make a bad 
start in Preliminary and G. A. H. events they 
drop out and “lay” for the Consolation. The 
proposed system would keep them in those events 
to the end.
