BETTER CONDITIONS
THAN EVER BEFORE

With the same circuit which shot
through the 1914 campaign, the
Philadelphia Trapshooters League
will take the field again this fall in
better condition than ever before.
! Surely and strongly the target league
has grown until now it is at the zenith
OF its career. Trap shooting was new
err better than it is now, there are
more lifeless bird destroyers than
ever before and the interest in the
sport Is, therefore at its height.
! At the midsummer meeting of the
league, held in Philadelphia. last
week, the officials decided to start
about the same time as last year, and
terminate at the same period as this
spring. The seven months schedule
will probably be adopted and the same

ing was done at the meeting to indi-
cate any other move. Most of the
time was consumed in appointing
various working committees, which
are to report at the next session Of
the league, to be held Monday, Au-

The circuit, including DUPONT. Cam

a feature which, since its adoption, |
has proved decidedly beneficial to the |
league
One important rule suggested at
the meeting, which will likely pass
by unanimous vote, was that tho |
league prizes be awarded on the basis
of a contestants score during the
season, and that the Lewis class
system govern the distribution of the
prizes, with two classifications. one
on the five highest scores made and
one on all league shoots, each classifi-
