forest and stream 
shooting accessories, and who does not re- 
ceive sny compensation or concession, mon- 
etary or otherwise, or allowance for ex¬ 
penses or trapshooting supplies from such 
manufacturers or dealers, shall be classed 
as an amateur. 
Any shooter, including employes of man¬ 
ufacturers of, or dealers in, firearms, am¬ 
munition, powder, targets, traps and other 
trapshooting accessories, who receives his 
salary or any portion of his salary, or any 
expenses of any kind for use in trapshoot¬ 
ing, or rebate on the market price of such 
articles, as compensation for the promotion 
of the sale or advertisement of any such 
products handled by such manufacturers, 
shall be classed as a professional. 
As a further proof of the regard with 
which trapshooting is held it may be said 
that 236,475 targets were thrown during the 
six months between March and October 
at the shooting school at Atlantic City and 
that 4,870 were either induced to take a 
hand at the game or were drawn to it of 
their own accord. As the sport is admit¬ 
tedly fascinating no doubt the new shoot¬ 
ers making up the 2,476 of the above total 
will not only continue to shoot but also 
bring others into the game by their en¬ 
thusiasm. 
A S the new year swings into its short 
month, those having to do with the 
management of registered tourna¬ 
ments will be minded of the fact that their 
applications must be at the office of the 
Interstate Association before February 15th 
—provided the closing date is the same as 
that of other years, the Association holds 
its annual meeting December 7 th- By so 
doing gun club secretaries will augment 
their chances in receiving financial support 
from this source which it has been inti¬ 
mated may take the form of all trophies 
and no money in 1917, thus proclaiming in 
no uncertain manner that the professional 
spirit is being entirely eliminated. This is 
as it should be for it is this element that 
prefers trophies over money that is the 
backbone of both their individual clubs and 
the very sport itself. 
In fact, the trade representatives are 
banding together to give the amateurs 
shoots, as witnessed by the great and popu¬ 
lar annual shoot of the Westy Hogans and 
the new organization of mid-west “pros,” 
The Miwikims. The old organization will 
hold its nth and the new one its 1st an¬ 
nual tournament for the amateurs during 
September, 1917.
