Altoona, October 3, 1914. 
Ed. Hellyer of Alexandria, just back from the Yresty 
Hogan shoot at Atlantic City, stopped in Altoona 
yesterday long enough to be royally entertained by the 
Blair County Road Drivers Gun Club. He also copped 
first place in the annual invitation October shoot of 
the club. Ed. marshaled the Alexandria team to this 
city and he set the pace by cracking 135 out of a 
possible 150 targets. The weather was ideal. There 
was thirty-four entries.

tied for second place with 133 targets while F. Ebright 
of this city was third with 131. G. Ebright of Altoona 
and E. G. Miller of Ebensburg tied for fourth with 129. 
There were many Jack Rabbit events during the day.

Du Pont Trap Shooting Club. 
Wilmington, Del., October 3, 1914. 
This was a big day at the duPont Trapshooting 
Club. 50 gunners were out to enjoy the perfect after¬ 
noon at the traps. A variety of matches were shot, 
and several were of a special nature. In three of them, 
championships were involved, and the results show 
■that championships were won, lost and retained. The 
perfect weather conditions contributed largely to good 
scores. Three traps were in operation all afternoon, 
and were kept very busy until nightfall. 
Several spectacular attractions were staged, among 
which were a match for the State Championship be¬ 
tween W. S. Colfax, Jr., Challenger, and Edward hanks, 
holder, of the cup emblematic of the open champion¬ 
ship of Delaware; a match between W. A. Joslyn, chal¬ 
lenger, and W. S. Colfax, holder, of the President’s 
Cup for Ineligibles, and a match between John H. 
Minnick, holder of the Class A Eugene duPo'nt Chal¬ 
lenge Cup, and Harry P. Carlon, challenger. In this 
race the winner was pledged to shoot Isaac Turner 
a match, and in this instance the winner proved to be 
Minnick, so he had the pleasure of shooting both Car¬ 
lon and Turner in one day for possession of the cup. 
Interspersed with these interesting events were the 
second Connable Cup championship match, and the 
regular Coleman duPont Spoon Events, so that from 
one o’clock until six it was one continual round of 
shooting, with any variety of a match booked that any 
one cared to see. 
COLFAX DEFEATS BANKS. 
The match between W. Schuyler Colfax, Jr., and 
Edward Banks for the open championship of Delaware 
was expected to be a hummer, and it ran true to form. 
The wise ones and the dopesters were silent and willing 
to let events take their course. 
Both Banks and Colfax are shooters of the first qual¬ 
ity, with a wealth of experience behind them, and it 
seemed to be the concensus of opinion that the race 
would be won or lost by a target or two, and when 
the returns were all in these predictions were found 
to have hit the mark pretty closely, for Colfax, the 
challenger turned in a card of 94, which was but one 
target better than that posted by Banks. The match 
was a very interesting one and at stages bordered on 
the spectacular. Banks started off like a house afire, 
getting his first 25 targets clean, while the best Col¬ 
fax could register was 23. Event number two showed 
the fortunes of war with Colfax, who broke 25 straight, 
while Banks dropped to the rear with a 22. At the 
half century Colfax was leading by a target with a 
score of 48, while Banks had a total of 47, and this 
was the standing maintained throughout the match. 
The last two events were somewhat of a procession, 
with no advantage either way. In event 3 Banks and 
Colfax both registered 22 x 25, and in event 4 both came 
through with 24 x 25, so that the margin of one bird 
which Colfax gained in event 2 stood him in good 
stead, and really won the match for him. The scores 
by events were: 
Edward Banks . 25 22 22 24—93 
W. S. Colfax, Jr. 23 25 22 24—94 
COLFAX LOST THIS ONE. 
Colfax also had a match on hand which was staged 
prior to the State championship race and which in¬ 
volved possession of the President’s Cup for ineligibles. 
In this curtain raiser his path was not so rosy, and 
after a “neck and neck” finish race with W. A. Joslyn 
in a 50-target affair, the latter was adjudged the win¬ 
ner by the margin of one target. Colfax gained pos¬ 
session of the cup in a walk-away match with T. W. 
Baker a few weeks ago, and expected to have an easy 
time with the other professionals who are eligible to 
compete for the ineligibles cup. In this he was mis¬ 
taken, and struck a snag right off the reel in W. A. 
Joslyn, who trimmed him at his own game. The scores 
were: 
W. A. Joslyn . 24 23—47 
W. S. Colfax . 23 23—46 
The second of the three final contests for the Frank 
L. Connable $100 sterling silver loving cup trophy was 
staged, and this brought together several of the best 
shots in the club, or in the East for that matter. The 
Connable Cup has been in competition for the past 
year, with one contest being held each month. The 
monthly winners, of whom there were eleven, qualified 
for the finals. The finals are shot in three matches at 
50 targets per man, under a distance handicap. 
The winner is determined by adding together the 
best two out of three scores each shooter makes in 
the three matches, and the one having the best total 
on 100 targets is declared the winner. In the match 
held one month ago, A. B. Richardson, of Dover, 
shooting from the 22-yard mark, was high gun, with 
a score of 45 out of 50. In yesterday’s clash T.
