Delaware State Tournament. 
Newark, Del., Oct. 17.—The two days’ tournament otf 
the Delaware State Trapshooters’ League closed to-day. 
It was held under the auspices of the Newark, Del., Gun 
Club, a recent acquisition to the League, which sig 
nalled its first attempt at a State tournament by making 
a complete success. 
Fine weather favored the meeting on both days. The 
conditions were such that good scoring was reasonably 
to be expected; but still, even at that, the phenomenal 
performance of Mr. Lester S. German, of Aberdeen, Md., 
surpassed the expectations of the most sanguine, _ He 
broke 179 out of a possible 180, and made a run of 110

ateur division, went to Messrs. G. S. McCarty, of Phila 
delphia, and L. Towner, of Baltimore, each scoring 172. 
Mr. Wm. M. Foord, of Wilmington, was second high 
amateur with 167. 
The traps were not working satisfactorily, They broke 
many targets, and threw too low frequently. The grove 
of trees in the background also added to the difficulties 
of sighting the targets. 
None of the special events were shot on the first day, 
hence the competition was all straight sweepstake shoot- 
ing.

Second Day. 
There was a close contest for high professional aver- 
age for the day, between Messrs. German and Hawkins, 
the former leading by a score of 184 to 183 out of a 
possible 190. Mr. Foord made high amateur average for 
the day, also for both days and also won the individual 
State championship with the excellent score of 93 out of 
100. Mr. A. B. Richardson, of Dover, who held the 
title and cup, did not defend his title. He very gener- 
ously forwarded the cup for competition at this tourna- 
ment. Foord won on a very narrow margin. It was a 
neck-and-neck race between him and his_ redoubtable 
fellow townsman, Mr. James T. Skelly, for three-quarters 
of the distance, but Foord finally finished one target in 
| the lead, 93 to 92. 
) 


There was another cup offered for Class B_ shooters. 
Competition was open to all residents of the State who 
had not averaged 80 per cent. in the State championship 
contests in which they had participated. Mr. John 
Evans, of Dover, was victor with a score of 82 out of 
100. He was closely pressed by Mr. J. H. Hossinger, of 
Newark, who scored 79, 
The conditions of the State team race were five men to 
a team, 50 targets per man. Two teams entered, one each 
from the Newark Gun Club and the Wawaset Gun Club, 
of Wilmington. Newark, somewhat in the domain of the 
unexpected, was victor by a score of 197 to 190, out of a 
possible 250. 
The weather was pleasant, but the wind added some- 

what to the difficulties of scoring. wo sets of traps 
were used en the second day, and they performed in an

“Brush” Shells For Bird Shooting 
Winchester “Brush” Shells help wonderfully to make 
big bags. 
They are so loaded as to give an open 
and even pattern at ranges of from 25 to 30 yards when 
used in choke bore guns, without the loss of velocity, 
penetration or uniformity. 
With these shells you 
can use your duck or trap gun for field shooting and 
make many kills which otherwise would be misses. 
They are loaded in ‘Leader’ 
and sold by reputable dealers everywhere. 
and ‘“‘Repeater’’ grades

North Side Rod and Gun Club. 
_ PATERSON, N. J., Oct. 13.—The Northside Rod and 
Gun Club held its weekly shoot on Saturday, the 12th 
inst. They had as their guests members of the Engle- 
wood, N. J., Gun Club, who showed that they are adepts 
at smashing clay targets. Members of the Midland 
Gun Club, of Maywood, were also present. They cer- 
tainly proved themselves qualified shooters. The North- 
siders themselves were not present in such great num- 
bers, as they should have been. The reason was that 
too many still have the fishing fever; but I can assure 
our friends there will be something doing soon. Prep- 
arations are being made for our annual Thanksgiving 
Day prize shoot, on which day a number of professional 
shooters have promised to be present, also a number of 
visiting clubs. Altogether it promises to eclipse all 
former occasions,
