First Day. 
Although hampered to such an extent by rain 
that the Double Target event had to be postponed, 
a field of 141 faced the traps on the opening 
day of the Tournament. 
George L. Lyon, Durham, N. C., was the leader, 
breaking 147 out of a possible 150 targets. He 
was given a hard run by S. A. Huntley of 
Omaha, Neb., who finished the day with one less 
“dead” target than his North Carolina opponent. 
Charles G. Spencer, a professional who won 
the Southern Handicap in 1909, when that event 
was an open competition, was third with a total 
t 45 i while A. B. Richardson, who tied with 
Woolfolk Henderson, Monday, for high amateur, 
was fourth with six missed. 
A. B. Richardson furnished quite a spectacular 
—if that might be used to apply with reference to 
a trapshooting achievement—when he registered 
a long run of 113, far exceeding anything of the 
kind by other competitors. G. L. Dearing, who 
had 129 for his total, secured a run of 88. R. A. 
King, the Colorado representative, smashed 74 
for his best run. Woolfolk Henderson, the Na¬ 
tional Singles and Doubles champion, and J. B. 
West, a Nashvillian, tied for another long string 
each getting 67 without a miss. 
Second Day. 
Shooting a wee bit erratic, yet in such good 
form that he outfinished a field of classy ama¬ 
teurs, J. I. Chipley, of Greenwood, S. C., broke 
92 of a possible 100 targets in the preliminary of 
the Southern Handicap and took first honors for 
the day. He was second only to Walter Huff, the 
Macon Ga., trade representative, who was, by 
rules of the competition, barred from shooting 
for other than targets only. Huff, shooting from 
the 21 yard mark, scored 95. 
Chipley, while a veteran in the game and recog¬ 
nized as an able shooter, had never won a big 
event of importance. Old enthusiasts recall that 
he attended many meetings and always placed 
well up in the money, but to-day’s laurels were

NATIONAL SPORTSMAN: 
“I saw in the July number where Mr. C. D. Watson of Big Pine, California, tested 
his.gun for close shooting and penetration. He used a Sportsman magazine 
for a target and on forty yards with twenty-six grains of Ballistite and one and one- 
eighth ounces of seven and one-half chilled shot, and the penetration was twenty-six 
leaves including the cover. This counts clean holes only. „ The total penetration was 
twenty-seven leaves, twenty-three shot hit the magazine.” 
“Here is where I would like to tell my experience with a Lefever Gun. I used the 
same kind of load as Mr. Watson and the penetration was forty-three leaves, counting 
the clean holes, total penetration sixty-nine leaves. Forty-three shot hit the magazine. 
This was on forty yards measured. Would like Mr.. Watson to see this as it may be 
to his advantage.” 
“I have shot about all standard makes of guns, the ...... included. They are all 
«ood nuns, but by my experience there is none that shoots like the Lefever. My gun 
is a 12-gauge, thirty-inch barrel, eight-pound Lefever, and if there is a better shooting 
gun made I would like to see it.” N. J. JOHNSON.
