After years of opposition the Boy Scouts of America 
are recognizing the value of teaching marksmanship as 
a character builder and have authorized the issue of merit 
badges for marksmanship. This work is carried on in 
co-operation with the National Rifle Association of 
America who supplies instructors and supervisors. The 
value to the Nation of the training of the youth of the 
land in the mechanism and use of fire arms is ines¬ 
timable. A large standing army will not be a great 
necessity if citizens are trained in the first requisite of 
a defender of his country. Therefore, the promotion of 
rifle shooting not only trains the eye and the nerve and 
builds up the physical standard of our young men, but 
also at the same time adds a valuable asset to the de¬ 
fensive strength of the country. 
Philadelphia Trapshooters League. 
Camden-S. S. White. 
Connie Mack got on the nerves of the Dental bunch 
to-day and they couldn’t kill the pain nor the scaling 
saucers, consequently Camden hung the nobody home 
sign on ’em like this—Camden, 462; S. S. White, 445. 
Outside the professionals who entered the shoot there 
were present 70 men from the two clubs. The rules of 
the league call for only 50 targets, but after the league 
shoot those who had not taken their fill of powder 
stayed to watch the 100-target contest between George 
McCarty and Harry Eyre. McCarty broke 98 straight 
while Eyre finished with a score of 96. 
The professionals present were: . 1 . M. Hawkins, who 
made 49; Neaf Apgar, 47; both shooting with the S. S. 
White squad, and E. Fred Slear, who shot with the 
Camden men scored 45.

Clearview-Glen Willow. 
Darby, Pa., October 10, 1914. 
Clearview opened the eleventh season of the Trap- 
shooters’ League to-day by trimming Glen Willow. The 
Clearviews, shooting in tiptop form, shattered 444 of 
their 500 bluerocks, while Glen Willow cracked 418. 
Every one of the 10 Clearview team men totaled 42 or 
better. While Glen Willow had the highest individual 
scorer of the day in Wilde, who broke 48 out of his 
50, they also had five of the men who gained the team 
who did not break over 40. This kept them from giv¬ 
ing the Darby clay killers a warmer argument than 
they did. 
Harry Fisher fired the top score for Clearview, get¬ 
ting 47 out of his 50 flyers, with Fred Coleman, former 
target and livebird champion of the State, a close

DuPont—Highland. 
Wilmington, Del., October 11, 1914. 
The 1914-15 season of the Philadelphia Trapshooters’ 
League formally opened yesterday, with the Highland 
Shooting Association of Mt. Airy, Pa., competing on 
the local grounds against the duPont Trapshooting 
Club. This year the same eight clubs will compose the 
league that made up its membership last season. For 
two successive seasons duPont has won the pennant. 
The clubs against which the duPonts will shoot are 
Highland, Camden, Clearview, Glen Willow, Lansdale, 
Meadow Springs and the S. S. Whites of Holmesberg 
Junction. 
In yesterday’s match a hard contest was anticipated, 
as the roster of the Highlanders includes many of 
Philadelphia’s best gunners. However, the world’s 
series interfered with the attendance somewhat, as they 
were able to muster but 18 shooters, against 55 for the 
local shooting organization. Numbers counted, and the 
duPont men shot their way to an easy victory, with a 
score of 454 out of 500, as against 402 out of 500 which 
the Scotch Highlanders recorded. 
Several noted stars were missing from the Highland 
line up which militated strongly against their chances 
of winning. The missing ones were George S. McCarty, 
the two Greenwoods, Drs. Cotton and Buck and Tom 
Tansey. 
The most meritorious work for the winners was the 
shooting of W. Edmanson, one of the club’s most ac¬ 
tive and interested members, who seldom fails to re¬ 
spond to the call of the club officials in time of need. 
He missed by one target in each event, and the high 
score of the day—48 out of 50—was credited to him. 
Walter Tomlinson also starred for the duPonters, and 
in making a score of 46 x 50, had the honor of making 
one of the two straights scored during the match. Tom¬ 
linson got 21 x 25 his first time up, but came back 
strong with a 25 straight, which honor he shared with 
T. Davis, of the visiting team, who broke a 25 after 
starting badly with a is- 
W. A. Simonton, W. S. Colfax, Jr., and Eugene du¬ 
Pont also helped materially in hurling back the in¬ 
vaders, the two former getting 47 x 50, while Mr. 
duPont registered a 22 and a 23 for a 45 total. Noth¬ 
ing less than 44 made the team, and all of those were 
not counted.
