T. H. K., Secretary. 
Du Pont Trap Shooting Club. 
Wilmington, Del., October 24, 1914. 
Thirty-five regulars put chilled shot over the lot to¬ 
day. A quiet gentleman, C. A. Hardy, of Chicago, 
caused a hurried call for reinforcements on left, right 
and center of the line. His net, which was the day's 
high, was 97 x 100, of which one event was 25 straight, 
that same constituting the only full for the afternoon. 
In the spoon contests some excellent work was wit¬ 
nessed, and in Classes A and B it took a score of 24 
out of 25 to win. Clyde Leedom was the marked man 
in Class A, and he defeated his classmates handily, 
missing his fourteenth target and going clean in the 
other 24 frames. In Class B William Coyne got off to 
a flying start, and dropped but one target, which gave 
him the 24 necessary to beat out John Anderson’s 23, 
which John had turned in just a few minutes earlier. 
In Class C Charlie Springer annexed the spoon with 
a score of 22 out of 25, while the Class D spoon prize 
went to John E. Miller, who celebrated his return 
to the club by cleaning up in his class. In Class E 
there were but two contestants, and J. S. Grant walked 
off with the spoon with 3 out of 25.

In the double target event, W. A. Simonton a Pacific 
Coast acquisition to the DuPont Club about May 30, 
opened the eyes of the assembled throng by cracking 
out 23 out of 24, which is a feat that has not been 
duplicated at the local shooting grounds in some moons. 
He also got a 21 out of 24, which is considered excellent. 
C. A. Hardy gave a nice exhibition of double target 
shooting, getting his first 10 straight, when his gun 
went bad, and he had to finish the event with a strange 
arm, getting 18 out of 24. Other totals:

Overland Motor Gun Club. 
Charles Newcomb, one of the best shots in the city, 
and “Dol” Richardson, amateur champion of Delaware, 
tied for high honors with 94 in the third annual target 
tournament of the Overland Motor Company yesterday 
at Edge Hill, and on the shoot-off at twenty-five clays 
Newcomb registered a total of 23, one more than Rich¬ 
ardson. W. B. Severn, of Philadelphia, finished third 
in the amateur ranks, catching 93 clays on the wing, 
besides tieing for third honors in the event for Over¬ 
land owners. 
The ladies’ event, for a special trophy, which was on 
a handicap basis taken upon the previous shoots the 
ladies had completed in this season, was won by Miss 
E. Hammond, representing the Nemours Gun Club of 
Wilmington, Del., beating out Mrs. White, of the same 
club, by a half point. Miss Hammond broke 16 out 
of 50. and with a handicap of 2754 totaled 4354. 
In the different classes the high men shot off an 
extra round of 25. In Class A. Newcomb totaled 23 
against Richardson’s 22. In Class B Izzy Hoffman was 
defeated by one point by Dixson, who turned in a score 
of 23. In Class C Pennington, from Media, totaled 22 
birds as against 18 for J. Greenwood, of this city. In 
Class D the two contestants, R. Greenwood and Hitch¬ 
cock, left before they could be notified and they will 
shoot off for the trophy at some future event. 
In the special event for owners of Overland cars W. 
B. Severn, of this city, broke 93 clays and looked as 
if he would win for the third consecutive year, but 
when the handicaps were figured out it was found that 
Pratt had come out ahead with a total of 99.

The Famed (g> Brand :: QUALITY COUNTS and the (g) Brand Means SHOOTING QUALITY 
Mr. Woolfolk Henderson, of Lexington, Ky., was the victor in each of these great races, and in all of them he used PETERS SHELLS, 
made with “steel where steel belongs.” His performance stands without a parallel; no individual shooter and no make of ammunition has 
ever before won ALL of the world s greatest trapshooting honors, a fact which in itself is a marvelous tribute to Mr. Henderson’s marks¬ 
manship and the QUALITY of his ammunition. But in addition to this he established a new WORLD’S AMATEUR RECORD, 98 out 
of 100 from 22 yards. 
MR. 
HENDERSON’S Scores Were As Follows : 
The Race of Champions for 
Amateur Championship of the United States, Single Targets, 99 ex 100 from 16 yds. 
Amateur Championship of the United States, Double Targets, 90 ex 100 from 16 yds. 
Grand American Handicap, 98 ex 100 from 22 yds. 
HIGH AVERAGE FOR ALL TARGETS, 565 x 600, Was Won by MR. S. A. HUNTLEY, Using PETERS SHELLS 
Including 200 from 22 yards, 200 from 18 yards, 100 from 16 yards and 50 pairs
