DUPONT MEN
AGAIN LEAGUE
TOP NOTCHERS
For Second Time Locals Win
the TrapShOOterS Contest
by Wide Margin

Repeating their success OF the 1912.
10 campaign the champion DUPONT
team. by defeating Meadow Spring Club
in the deciding match Of the Trap
shooters League here Saturday after
noon won their second consecutive cham
pionship after one Of the most exciting
races ever conducted under the aus
piccs OF the organization.
Upon Saturdays contest depended
whether DUPONT would clinch the title
or else he compelled TO end the race in
a tie with either two, three or four
clubs. This condition could have been
brought about by the Meadow Spring
winning. Highland beating Lansdale
and Camden conquering. The Camden
team was the only club which could win
for Lansdalc upset Highland aud Du-
Pont was too strong for Meadow Spring.
A singular coincidence TO Saturdays
match was that the final match last
season ended with contest between
Meadow Spring and DUPONT. and upon
this conflict also hinged the title, the
conditions then being that Meadow
Spring had to win from the Wilmington
shooters to tic them for the lead The
Duponts won this match and made sure
of the rag.
Camden was really the surprise OF the
entire season and had the South Jersey
men started as well as they finished,
DUPONT would have had decidedly
harder time winning the championship
than they did. The Jerseymen shot a
pace when once started. which swept
everything before them. and had they
not lost to Meadow Spring in the open
ing shoot of the season they would have
ended the season with as many points rs
scored by DUPONT Ae Il is. they finish
ed second one point behind the cham
pions
The $. $. Whites. Highland and Mca-
dow Spring. teams ended in a tic for
third place. with II points each. Lans-
dale ranking fourth, Clearview fifth and
Glen Willow bringing up the tail-end
procession. Dupont broke the most tar
gets. 3.l03.
The DUPONT Saturday scores were eN-
ceptionally good throughout, but the
chief interest OF the afternoon ccntered
in tho work of A. b. Richardson for
DUPONT. and Harry Sloan for the visi-
tors Each was high man for his re-
spective team. and each finished even
with total OF 4S. Their breaks were
identical. Richardson breaking straight
through his first string and sloan du-
plicating the performance On his Sec
ond string Richardson dropped two and
Sloan did the same. g.. n. Martin OF
lDuPont WAS second high. with total OF
t6. Richardson and Sloan were th'
nly gunners who got through with q
