Greensboro Gun Club. 
Greensboro, Ala., is a small and prosperous town 
in the southwestern part of Alabama, situated on the 
Southern Ry. branch. The town is situated in the Black 
Belt of Alabama, famous for the fertile soil. The South¬ 
ern University is located here. Greensboro is noted 
throughout the South for its hospitality. It is the home 
of Jeff Blunt, one of the most popular shooters through¬ 
out the country; also Dr. Lamson, E. V. Otts and Chas. 
Wheeler, well-known shooters. 
The Gun Club of Greensboro is made up of twenty 
shooters, some being beginners, who will, in time, be 
good shooters. The tournament was under the manage¬ 
ment of E. V. Otts and Chas. Wheeler, an assurance 
that it was a good shoot. The grounds are located at the 
edge of a grove of trees, and shooting to the east, the 
glare was rather bright in the morning, but ideal in the 
afternoon. 
A few professionals and local amateurs were out on 
practice day. May 28. On the arrival of the south bound 
train on the 29th, were shooters representing clubs from 
various parts of the country: Cocke and McMurdo, 
of New Orleans; Chas. Dunlap and several others from 
Eutaw; M’arren Skinner and Garl from Birmingham; 
Simon and Byrne from Mobile, and several others. Wm. 
Laslie and several others had arrived the day before. 
H. D. Freeman fired the first shot, and the race 
was on for high honors. There was a race between 
P'reeman and tbe leading amateur, Wm. Laslie, Laslie 
winning the first day and Freeman the second, tying on 
479 out of 500 for the two days. Jeff Blunt was shooting 
away below his average, owing to the fact that he was 
convalescing from a recent spell of illness. Dr. Lamson 
shot good throughout the tournament, as did also 
Simon, of Mobile. More shooters were expected to at¬ 
tend this tournament, but for various reasons were un¬ 
able to reach the grounds. Chas. Dunlap broke his 
gun early the first day, which made him fall down some 
and kept him out of tbe running. E. R. Holt shot well 
the first day, making a run of 99 straight. C. Otts 
handled the office and did most excellent work, as each 
shooter was handed his share at the end of each day’s 
shooting. Scores:

started June 8, are as follows:

score in each class first time up, over two traps, wins 
the cup. At least two contestants in a class must com¬ 
pete in order to make a contest. Winner’s name to be 
engraved on the cup. Only scores made on regular 
Saturday shoots to count. The only exception being 
for those shooters who find it impossible to contest on 
Saturday. Arrangements may be made with the secre¬ 
tary to shoot on Thursday, provided notice is given in 
writing or by ’phone before 4:30 P. M. the Wednesday 
previous. Telephone notice must be confirmed in writ¬ 
ing. Contestant by giving such notice of his desire .to 
shoot on Tliursday is then ineligible to shoot for the 
trophy on Saturday. All challenges must be made in 
writing and handed to the cashier. Challenge matches 
may be shot on Thursday or Saturday at the option of 
both parties. Challenge matches to be at 50 targets, the 
loser to pay for the 100 targets shot at. If holder can¬ 
not accept challenge and shoot within two weeks from 
the date of the challenge, the cup is to go to tbe 
challenger, but without his name engraved thereon; he 
must then defend the cup. Successfully defending the 
cup will entitle him to have his name engraved on it. 
If the holder is not challenged within three weeks of 
the_ date of his win the cup then goes into open com¬ 
petition. Any contestant successfully defending a cup 
for three successive challenge matches must turn in the 
cup for open competition. After each cup has been won 
by ten different shooters, the final ownership will be 
decided by_ the ten winners shooting off at 50 targets 
per man, distance handicap to govern. The cups, which 
are on exhibition in Room 4GG, du Pont Building, are 
most attractive.
