CORRECTION. 
In our issue of September nineteenth, in an 
editorial under Caption “Professionalism in 
Trap Shooting,” the following paragraph ap¬ 
peared: “The Interstate, realizing that something 
must be done, has decided to make a new handi¬ 
cap mark of twenty-five yards, and to place 
every returning professional and some tourna¬ 
ment chasing amateurs on the limit mark.” 
We are advised by Elmer E. Shaner, Treas¬ 
urer and Manager of the Interstate Association 
that no such action as referred to in the edi¬ 
torial was taken by the association. We regret 
having made the statement, which, however, 
was based on authority we presumed to be re¬ 
liable. We take the liberty of suggesting that 
such a ruling might be in order by the Inter¬ 
state Association.

Housatonic Rod and Gun Club. 
The Housatonic Rod and Gun Club held their regu¬ 
lar Labor Day Shoot on the club grounds at Stratford, 
Conn., and although delayed by trouble with a trap 
which prevented finishing the entire program before 
dark, the thirty odd shooters who participated all went 
away well satisfied. Homer Sherman was high gun with 
70 breaks out of 75. Leigh was second with 69, while 
Van Stone with 67, and Cutter with 63, followed. The 
shooters were favored with fair weather, and a breeze 
which kept some of them guessing what the clays would 
do next. The scores in the regular program follow:

We _ only had seven out at our regular shoot to-day, 
the big five and two beginners, the first time ever for 
Whitton, and with a little practice he ought to make 
good. Handicap prizes for the day first to Tomlinson 
and second to Gardiner. It was a tie on the regular 50 
and Dan won the tie. Never mind the writer won the 
“Quarter-quarter” and the rest of the “5” had to con¬ 
tribute. Scores follow:
