A DOUBLE VICTORY! 
It is not often that a Shotgun Tournament and a Rifle Tournament are given in the same 
city on the same day, but that is what happened at Columbus, Ohio, February 22-23. And 
it is a very significant fact that in each of these two tournaments, victory came to users of

SHELLS and CARTRIDGES 
At the Columbus Gun Club, Feb. 22-23, Mr. Woolfolk 
Henderson won 
HIGH PROFESSIONAL AVERAGE

the same loads with which he made an average as an 
Amateur in 1909, of 94.87% on 9,495 targets. 
At the Iroquois Rifle Club, Feb. 22, Mr. J. H. Snook made 
the HIGHEST TOTAL SCORE, 238 out of a possible 250, 
and also won the

Haddonfield Gun Club. 
Haddonfield, N. J.—The Haddonfield Gun Club 
held a pleasant practice shoot on the 26th. The attend¬ 
ance was not up to expectations. That is easily ex¬ 
plained. There was a fox chase in the immediate neigh¬ 
borhood. A fox chase is the largest imaginable thing 
to the wind of the average South Jersey sportsman. 
The only feature of the afternoon’s sport worthy of 
notice, aside from the chase, was John Bennett and his 
new gun. John has been shooting a pump gun. The 
change to the two-trigger kind completely upset him. 
Repeatedly he placed the shell in the wrong barrel. 
What an expression of surprise and disgust his face 
wore when he pulled the trigger, and no report fol¬ 
lowed. Finally, John collected himself and settled down 
to steady work. He broke 87 targets out of the 100 
shot at—a very creditable score to make with a new 
gun. Better by 10 per cent, than he did with his old 
pump.

Death of Charles F. Jordan. 
The following sad recountal is taken from the Boston 
Globe: 
Wellington, March 5.—Charles F. Jordan, secretary 
of the Portland Gun Club, of Portland, Me., and a well- 
known business man of that city, was stricken with 
heart-failure on the grounds of the Paleface Trapshooting 
Association about 2 o’clock this afternoon. He died in 
the arms of Gilbert Wheeler, of Brunswick, Me., with 
whom he was talking in the club house at the time. 
The suden death of Mr. Jordan, who was one of the 
best known and most popular followers of trapshooting 
in New England, deeply affected the hundred odd shoot¬ 
ers assembled from all over New England and else¬ 
where, who were just starting on the big 100-target 
team match. The match was stopped and indefinitely 
postponed. 
The death put a damper on what promised to be one 
of the biggest and most exciting competitions held at 
the Paleface grounds since the great Eastern Handicap 
shoot. Mr. Jordan was on hand with a number of 
Maine shooters, and was to participate in the team 
match as one of Horace Kirkwood’s team. 
Although death must have occurred almost instantly, 
Dr. E. F. Gleason, of the B. A. A.; Dr. Foster, of 
Lawrence, and Dr. Funk, of Washington, who were 
present, tried every possible method of restoring the 
stricken man to consciousness. Almost as soon as lie 
fell into the arms of Gil Wheeler, with whom he was 
talking about a setter dog, Dr. Gleason, aided by the 
other physicians and the shooters, commenced to work 
on the unconscious man. After laboring incessantly for 
about an hour, it became apparent beyond all possible 
doubt that their efforts were in vain, and that Jordan 
was dead. 
The only warning of the attack of heart-failure to which 
he succumbed, was his complaint to Wheeler just before 
he collopsed. He said to Wheeler, “Gil, I feel faint,” 
and then fell against him. Wheeler, aided by others, 
caught the falling man, who weighed nearly 200 pounds, 
and word was sent to the other shooters, who were out¬ 
side, preparing to take their places on the firing plat¬ 
forms. 
After the doctors gave up all hope, word was sent to 
the Medford police headquarters, and the medical ex¬ 
aminer viewed the body, pronouncing death to be due to 
heart-failure. The body was taken to the rooms of a 
Boston undertaker, and was shipped on the train for 
Portland this evening, accompanied by the Portland 
men, who came down with Mr. Jordan to take part in 
the big match. 
In the death of Mr. Jordan the trapshooting sport 
loses one of its most ardent and most popular devotees 
in the eastern part of the United States. He was 
secretary-treasurer of the Portland Gun Club, and was the 
captain of the team of that club which met the Paleface 
team last August in Portland. At the time he enter¬ 
tained the visiting shooters royally, and was known as a 
prince of good fellows among all the followers of the 
sport. 
He was forty-seven years old, and is survived by a 
widow. Arrangements were made this evening by 
Horace Kirkwood, governor-general of the Paleface As¬ 
sociation, for the attendance of a delegation of that 
organization at the funeral.
