DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
The Warrensburg and Pertle Springs Gun Club, War- 
rensburg, Mo., announces a shoot to be held on Aug. 6 
and 7. Mr. Charles W. Beaty is the Secretary. 
r, 
Messrs. E. I. Vanderveer and Frank Muldoon will be 
the managers of the first annual target tournament, given 
by the Asbury Park, N. J., Shooting Association. 
* 
In the weekly shoot of the Meadow Springs Gun Club, 
Philadelphia, Mr. H. H. Sloan scored 25 targets, of 
which 2 were allowance, in the handicap event. He 
would have won without his handicap, as his nearest 
opponents, Ben and Kane, scored only 22 each. 
On the 14th inst., Mr. Carl Von Lengetke took charge 
of the great sporting goods department of J. Wana- 
maker. Mr. Von Lengerke has a vast experience in the 
sporting goods trade, is a practical sportsman himself, 
and has a host of friends, all of which are essentials to 
success.

Secretary Karl Steward writes us: “The Harrisburg, 
Pa., Sportsmen’s Association has leased a field of thirty 
acres, on which they built a new club house, placed 
two Leggett traps and will hold a dedication shoot on 
Aug. 20 and 21. Wish to state further that this shoot is 
registered under Interstate Association rules.”

Replying to “A Western Shooter” on 
“Jack Rabbit System.” 
Sistersville, W. Va., July 11.—Referring to the article 
under the head of “Jack Rabbit System,” by “A Western 
Shooter,” which appeared in one of last week’s sports¬ 
men’s papers, beg to say that I have no especial desire 
to criticise the article in question, but after reading it 
over quite carefully, I must confess that I felt tempted 
to criticise its author, and ask him where he has been 
all these years; why he didn’t write that article a long 
time ago and then sign his name to it. He has cer¬ 
tainly hit the nail squarely on the head, and should be 
commended; but how many of our thousands of shooters 
will come out and say so, or even make reply one way or 
the other? 
Not very many, and that is just the reason we have 
so many “get-rich-quick” schemes for division of money. 
So far as the writer is concerned, Mr. Westerner, I want 
to add my hearty amen to your opinions as expressed 
in- the article above referred to, and to. suggest that you 
let us hear from you again. In addition to your views 
on a system for division of money, give us something 
on handicaps. We contend that any form of handicap 
that will in any way interfere with your score is bad, 
and only intended to kill off the better shots,. or those 
who have helped to make the game what it is to-day. 
We further contend that if you are going to handicap 
at all, you had better do it by setting aside a certain 
portion of all winnings for the low men, as it is an 
absolute fact that if a man has enough blood in. his 
veins to be called a sportsman he would a thousand times 
rather have a creditable score than a few dollars. 
Now, Mr. Westerner, as you asked to be allowed to 
spring something a little new—which, by the way, is very 
good and worthy of consideration—let me make a still 
further suggestion along that line. As it is a matter of 
fact that, the shooters of the country will not come out 
and express themselves on these subjects, through the 
columns of the several papers, suppose when we have 
a shoot, especially a two days’ affair, that we arrange 
for a sort of smoker at some convenient place, and 
insist upon all those who might be interested to be 
present and participate. At this smoker, besides getting 
better acquainted, these matters of division of money, 
handicaps, etc., etc., might be taken up and discussed, 
to the end that these seeming evils might be rectified. 
Ed. O. Bower. 
[This referred to a communication in which “A West¬ 
ern Shooter” maintained that the Jack Rabbit system 
worked a hardship to the best shots. He further main¬ 
tained that class shooting was more popular with trap¬ 
shooters. He advocated charging a fee at the gate, so 
that the spectators would thereby contribute something 
to the sport in return for their entertainment.]
