“Open fo Amateurs Only.” 
Columbus, Ga., May 14. — While down here attending 
the Southern Handicap, I find that the new move of 
the Interstate Association in favor of the amateurs, 
namely, the barring of professionals from taking part in 
the division of purse of the Grand American Handicap 
seems to be but little known. It has occurred to me, there¬ 
fore, that if you could devote some small portion of your 
valuable space in your next issue or so, toward the 
further enlightenment of the amateur trapshooters of 
this country on the above subject, it would be of great 
mutual advantage, and would be appreciated accord¬ 
ingly. 
As has already been stated in vour columns, the Grand 
American Handicap, the premier shooting event of the 
year, is no^ longer “open to all.” It is “open to ama- 
teurs^^ only,” professionals shooting along “for targets 
only,” handicapped just the same as ever, but competing 
against each other for a valuable trophy offered for that 
purpose by the Interstate Association. 
I his action of the association, and the fact that it has 
also guaranteed that the winner of the Grand American 
Handicap will receive $1,000 in gold, in addition to a 
diamond trophy worth at least $100, ought to insure 
there being a record-breaking entry list at Springfield, 
Ill., June 20 next. Entries close June 8, and programs 
will be ready for distribution Maj; 15.

Neaf Apgar, the genial and popular expert shot, 
representing the Peters Cartridge Company in its eastern 
territory, also widely known as the president of the 
famous VVesty Hogans, is doing some of the best shoot¬ 
ing of his career this year, of course shooting the 
now widely known “steel where steel belongs” shells. 
As an example of his work, on May 15, at Mt. Hol'y, 
N. J., he won high general average, 145 out of 150; 
May 16, at Scranton, Pa., he won high general average, 
144 out of 150; May 17, at Pottsville, Pa., he won high 
professional, 136 out of 150; May 18, Phillipsburg, N. J., 
he vvon second professional, 142 out of 150. This shoot¬ 
ing is of a very high order and can be attested by others 
in attendance at the tournaments referred to. as the con¬ 
ditions were anything but conducive of high scores. 
W. R. Chamberlain, shooting Peters factory loaded 
target shells, with “steel where steel belongs,” won sec- 
ong general average at Logansport, Ind., May 15-16, with 
a score of 276 out of 300. 
The famous E. C. cup, which has been contested for 
from time to time since the year 1896, and which is 
emblematic of the inanimate target championship of th; 
world, was placed in open competition by the Fairmont 
(W. \ a.) Gun Club at the West Virginia State tourna¬ 
ment on May 14, and was won by C. A. Young with 
a score of 184 out of 200, the highest that has ever been 
made in these matches. Mr. Young thus wins the inan - 
mate target championship of the world and by a score 
which will probably stand as a record for some litt e 
time. He used Peters factory loaded shells with “st’eel 
■where steel belongs,” the famous red “P” ammun ticn 
Uiat is creating a sensation among trap and field shooters. 
In addition to the winning of the cup, Mr. Young won 
high professional average, 288 out of 300; high general 
average on all the program events, 409 out of 425, and 
had long runs of 111 and 90. 
Peters “steel where steel belongs” shells cleaned up 
the entire field of amateurs and professionals at the Illi¬ 
nois Slate shoot at Peoria, May 15-17. Bart Lewis of 
Auburn, Ill., shooting the red “P” target shell, hr ke 
440 out of 4o0, an average of practically 98 per cent. He 
led all the amateurs and professionals present, amount¬ 
ing to nearly 100, and his shooting was a fine exhibition, 
not only of marksmanship, but of ammunition qual ty; 
Mr. Lewis also won the trophy for the longest run of 
the tournament, 129 straight. 
At Plouston, Texas, May 14-15, the Texas champion¬ 
ship event, which was open to all Texas amateurs and 
professionals, was won by Mr. H. A. Murrelle with a 
score of lOO straight, shooting Peters factory loaded 
Premier shells. Mr. Murrelle and Mr. H. J. Borden 
tied for high professional average, 410 out of 440 in¬ 
cluding 100 targets from 22yds., and Mr. Murrelle made 
the long run of the shoot, 144 straight. Mr. Borden 
also shot Peters Premier loads. 
At the Southern Handicap tournament, Mr. Wool- 
folk Henderson, shooting Peters “steel where steel be¬ 
longs” shells, won fourth general average, 387 out of 
400, with long runs of 135 and 120. Mr. J. S. Day had 
a long run of 108, also with Peters shells. 
At Nevada, la.. May 17, Mr. Wm. Hoon. of Jewel 
Junction, la., won second amateur average with Pe eri 
shells, 143 out of 150.
