Dunont Old Home Week. 
Wilmington, Del., October 17, 1914. 
Wilmington’s Old Home Week Trapshooting Tour¬ 
nament staged at the duPont Trapshooting Club to¬ 
day was a decided success. Seventy-one gunners faced 
the traps during the afternoon, many of them from out¬ 
side points, and good scores were made. The shoot 
started promptly at noon, and by 5 p. m. all had finished 
shooting their quota of 100 targets. Eleven of the en¬ 
trants were professionals, leaving sixty amateurs to 
participate in the contest for the prizes and trophies to 
the extent of $125 which were offered. 
The high score of the day was made by the noted 
professional, Lester S. German, of Aberdeen, Md.., who 
turned in a card of 96 out of too. which was considered 
a very remarkable accomplishment considering the hard 
conditions under which the events were shot. When 
the shooters faced the traps for their first events the 
sky was overcast, and a strong wind was blowing from 
behind which beat the targets down, and caused them 
to assume some fantastic curves and cut some very dis¬ 
concerted capers. . 
Two local men. W. G. Wood and W. M. Foord. tied 
for high amateur record on a score of 93 out of 100, 
which was just one target better than the scores of J. 
B. McHugh of Wilmington, and Harry Eyre of Phil¬ 
adelphia, who managed to account for 92 of their flyers. 
Eyre was fresh from the Fred Stone Complimentary 
Shoot at Philadelphia yesterday where he cleaned up 
the citv of Brotherly Love's best with a score of 97 out 
of 100 from the 19 vard mark, and defeated the popular 
actor who registered 95 kills from the 17 yard mark. 
Third high score was also shared by a Wilmington 
man. Mr. T. C. Martin, who broke 01 out of too. He 
tied with H. B. Cook, of Atlantic City. 
Henrv Winchester and A. B. Richardson, the former 
of Wilmington, and the latter of Dover, were next in 
line with cards of 90 out of 100. The scores of all who

In the contest for the valuable prizes and trophies 
which were offered, A. B. Richardson, Dover, and W. 
M. Foord, of this city, fared -the best. The race in 
Class A for high honors, developed into a tie between 
Foord and W. G. Wood, who scored 93. This neces¬ 
sitated a shoot off, which was won by the former, who 
broke 20 straight to Wood’s 17 x 20, so Foord took the 
first prize, which was a handsome traveling set in a 
leather case, presented by W. J. Webster, president 
of the Atlas Powder Company. A safety razor was 
taken down by Wood. The third prize, a fountain pen, 
was won by Harry Eyre, who had. tied with Joe 
McHugh, on scores of 92. Eyre won in the shoot off, 
18 to 17- 
In Class B, J. C. Griffith made the high record, 
and he annexed a gold watch fob, contributed by the 
Interstate Association. His score was 86 x 100. S. M. 
Crothers, who tied with him, was not present to shoot 
off the tie, so he was awarded second prize in this class 
—a silver and cut glass relish set. Fred Plum, of 
Atlantic City, walked off with a handsome Scarf pin 
as a result of scoring 85 x 100, which placed him third 
high in Class B. 
In Class C, Clyde Leedom and T. Walker Mathewson 
tied for high gun on scores of 79 x 100. As daikness 
was drawing on. and it was impossible to shoot off the 
tie, they decided it by a spin of the wheel. Leedom 
won out, and was awarded a crystal clock, while Mathew¬ 
son received a solid gold Interstate Association watch 
fob. Billy Edmanson and Billy Robelen tied for third 
high in this class and the spin of the wheel gave the 
trophy to the former, who received a Conklin self-filling 
’ fountain pen. . 
— Dr. Arthur Patterson had things to himself in Class 
D, and annexed high gun without noposition, for which 
he was awarded one-half dozen sterling silver spoons. 
W. J. Highfield, who was but one target behind, with 
73 out of 100, was awarded second prize, a pair of solid 
gold cuff links, while C. S. Hand, of Philadelphia, won 
the silver Interstate Association silver watch fob trophy. 
Hand turned in a score of 72. 
Dave Lindsay surprised himself and pleased ihis 
friends when he won first prize in Class D with a 
score of 67 out of 100. This was a casserole, with a 
sterling silver holder. Dr. Horace Betts, who captured 
second Class E prize with 66, received a silk shirt, and 
Stephen Crothers. of Philadelphia, was awarded one-half 
dozen linen handkerchiefs as third prize. His score was 
64 out of TOO. 
In the double target event, three of the professionals 
turned in better cards than did any of the amateurs 
but as thev were not eligible to compete for prizes, did 
not share in the distribution of them. A. B. Richard¬ 
son easily won the amateur honors, with a score of 17 
out of 20 and received the prize offered for the best 
score in this event—a Coleman duPont sterling silver 
spoon. The double -target scores follow:

A miss and out event was staged, and many of the 
shooters patronized the “wolf” trap while the regular 
events were in progress. The targets were thrown 
from three expert traps, unknown angles and traps, and 
“everything went.” as the targets were of the “curley 
wolf” variety. A. B. Richardson had things his own 
wav for quite a while, and earlv in the game registered 
ten straight. Later Walter Tomlinson came in with 
another ten straight, only to be followed by Jess 
Griffith with the same score. Thev were high guns, and 
with two prizes to distribute in this event a shoot off 
was necessary. This was also miss and out. and was 
won bv T. C. Griffith with a run of one. Richardson and 
Tomlinson missing on their trials. First prize was a 
Coleman duPont spoon, and second prize a scarf pin. 
Richardson and Tomlinson again shot for the tie pin, 
and the former won with one break, the latter missing 
his first bird. The miss and out scores follow: 
J C. Griffith . 10
