The Delaware State Championship. 
First Day. 
The first annual tournament of the Delaware State 
Sportsmen’s Association was held May 29 and 30, at 
Wilmington, under the auspices of Du Pont Gun Club. 
To prove it was a success, it is only necessary to add 
that it was fully up to expectation, and the prediction 
of Secretary Doremus, of the Du Pont Gun Club, under 
whose general supervision it was given. The referees 
were J. A. McMullen, Bob McArdle, and Charlie Buck- 
waiter. The office was in charge of Lloyd R. Lewis, 
Tom Chalfand and Charlie North: the latter, of course, 
was in charge of the traps. W. A. Joslyn was “master 
of shooters.” The work of the merchandise prize com¬ 
mittee, made up of Chairman Edward Banks, W. M. 
Hammond, W. J. Highfield, V. K. Smith and Dr. 
Steele, was worthy of commendation. The weather was 
delightful, and as is usual at the Du Pont Club, the 
attendance was representative of the best in Wilmington, 
with the usual number of interested women spectators. 
There were sixty-five shooters in the regular program 
while the merchandise events brought out ninety-five 
target masters, seventy-eight of whom were residents of 
the State of Delaware. 
Some great shooting was done in both sections of the 
program, the ten regular events each at 15 targets, pro¬ 
ducing a fine race for first honors on the 150 targets shot 
at by each man. Lester S. German, of Aberdeen, Md., 
won by a single target over the local amateur, J. H. 
Minnick, who again showed his class by standing the 
strain of a hard race with some of the best shots in the 
country. 
German broke 147 out of 150, while Minnick’s score 
was 14G. W. S. Colfax, Jr., another local crack, was 
right on Minnick’s heels with 145, the race between these 
two men being especially interesting, from the fact that 
they shot in the same squad and ran a neck-and-neck 
race right up to the last event. 
H. W. Kahler, of Philadelphia, tied for fourth with 
two professionals, H. H. Stevens and Neaf Apgar, all 
three scoring one less than Colfax. Eugene E. du Pont 
with 143, A. B. Richardson, of Dover, with 142, and 
H. Schlicher, of Allentown, Pa., with 141, came next 
in order.

Second Day. 
On the 150 targets in the regular program, H. H.- 
-.tevens easily led the field, running his first 139 straight, 
and losing only two out of 150. He had' the credit of 
making the longest run ever made on the local club’s 
grounds, 147, having finished yesterday’s program with 
eight straight. Next to him was C. H. Newcomb, the 
Philadelphia amateur, with 148, and after Newcomb came 
Allen Heil, an amateur from Allentown, Pa., with 145. 
Other high scores were A. B. Richardson, the Dover 
amateur, and L. S. German, with 143: H. W. Kahler, of 
Philadelphia, wnth 142, and W. S. Colfax, of Wilming¬ 
ton, with 14i. 
The last 100 targets on the program constituted the 
race for the open championship of the State of Dela¬ 
ware, and in this event Richardson won with 96 out of 
100. Tied for second place were Ed. Banks, Eugene du 
Pont and W. S. Colfax, Jr., each having 94. The chief 
honors of the shcot were won as follows: 
The Delaware State championship at targets, open 
to all residents of the State, won by A. B. Richardson, 
with 96 out of 100. 
The Delaware amateur State championship, open only 
to amateurs who are residents of the State. Won by 
A. B. Richardson, with 285 out of 300. This win carried 
with it the ownership for one year of the silver trophy 
donated by the traffic department of the Du Pont Co. 
The Millard Davis loving cup. Won Ijy Allen Heil, 
who broke 68 straight, the cup being donated to the 
amateur who made the longest run of the tournament.

Northern Kentucky 
Gun Club. 
There were only a few shooters at the weekly shoot 
on June 1, most of the members having had their fill 
of shooting at the Cincinnati grounds on Decoration 
Day, and resting up for the trip to Dayton, O., on the 
4th. George Dameron got into shape after shooting in 
one event, and went out with about his average; in an 
extra event at 25 targets he went a 96 per cent. gait. 
Walker failed to keep up the gait he has been going 
lately. The next monthly tournament of the club will 
be held on June 30, and will be under the Squier money- 
back system, the same program as last year, ten 15- 
target events, with a special at 25 targets for a trophy 
offered by the Club. The first shoot of the monthly 
series was under the N. .C. R. system, but the shooters 
did not seem to enthuse over it, which accounts for the 
change in 
the plans made 
by the club for the 
season.

Cincinnati has landed the match for the E. C. cup, 
between C. A. Young, of Springfield, O., and H. D. 
Freeman, of Atlanta, Ga. This will be shot on the 
afternoon of July 4. There will be shooting all day 
on that date, arranged to suit the shooters. In addition 
to the traps over w’nich the match will be pulled off, there 
will be one trap reserved for sweepstake shooting, and 
one for those who care to shoot for targets only. The 
program will he announced later, and is bound to be 
an attractive one. There was little doing at the grounds 
on June 1 and 2, as the members have hardly realized 
yet that the club is ready for business. Arthur Gambell 
has gotten together a team for the State shoot, consist¬ 
ing of J. A. Payne, W. R. Randall, H. Bonser, R. 
Davies and E. Sampson. M. H. Johnson will also be on 
hand, and Arthur Gambell will go up, and will be ready 
to shoot if necessary. An effort will be made to land 
the State shoot for 1913. 
There was a good bunch at the grounds on May 19. 
The weather could hardly have been better and some 
good scores were made. Meyers and Ludwick, of the 
East Gun Club, did very well, considering that they 
were on strange grounds. O. J. Holaday and J. S. Day 
shot a fine race, finishing in first place on 96 each: the 
former broke his first 54 straight, which gave him a 
run of 64 with 10 he shot in practice. Capt. Geo. Dam¬ 
eron was not in good shape, and did not get into trim 
until the last event, when he missed but one target; 
he then shot a match with Smith at 25 targets, winning 
on a score of 24 to 22. Ertel has not been over for 
some time, and did not make as good a showing as 
usual. Jones felt a little discouraged over his work, but 
a few w’eeks of practice will put him back where he 
belongs. J. B. C. and Gould shot their weekly match 
at 50 targets, the former winning by a score of 38 to 37. 
Doc. will get his revenge next week. George Walker is 
rapidly making good in t’ne target game, and is going 
to give some of them a run for their money before the 
summer is over, ^''oige has not shot since last fall; that’s 
why he missed so many. 
Shooting at doubles after the regular events were over, 
Voige and Ertel broke 11 and 16 respectively out of 12 
pairs; Meyers and Ludwick shot at 17 pairs each, the 
former breaking 14 and the latter 17, which is not at 
all bad work for the first time trying this style of shoot¬ 
ing. 
The second in the series of monthly tournaments will 
be held on May 26. This is shot under the N. C. R. 
system, lOO targets in four events at 15 and two at 20 
targets each, entrance $5, four high average moneys and 
four moneys in each event. The club will be represented 
at the shoot of the Cincinnati Gun Club on May 30, as 
this will be the last chance for practice before the State 
shoot at Dayton, O.. the first week in June. 
Scores follow; Holaday (lOO) 96, Dameron (1001 84, 
Day (Iffl) 96, Ertel (65) 50, Richey (50) 28, Jones (80) 64, 
J. B. C. (100) 76, Walker (50) 40, Myers (60) 39, Ludwig 
(65) 56, Voige (.50) 30, Gould (50) 37. 
Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., June 2. —At the fifth contest for 
the Frank Hall trophy, held on the Hudson Gun Club 
grounds to-day, there was an attendance of only thirty 
shooters, eleven taking part in the trophy event. A1 
Ivins was high with a score of 90, C. Day, Jr., being the 
runner-up with 88. 
The day was warm, which had to do with the slim 
entry for the cup. The next contest takes place at 
Newton, N. J., on June 22. There were 5,500 targets 
trapped, and only one straight score of 25 was recorded, Al. 
Ivins doing the trick. Our next club shoot will be held 
on June 16, everybody is welcome to shoot along 
with us.
