TO Shoot FOR
THE State TITLE
Removal From City of W.
S. Colfax Forces Cup
Up Again
MANY GUNNERS
SEEK TROPHY

Local shotgun cracks will vie with
each other on Saturday for the coveted
cup emblematic Of the Open Champion
ship of Delaware Until his removal
from the city a few days ago, w.
Schuyler Colfax, Jr., held the open
championship, and no one seemed anx-
ious to come forward and make the
effort to wrest the title from him. Col
fax has long been recognized as one oil
the best shots in the east, and he was
especially good in match shooting On
numerous occasions he won and de-
Tended his right to possess the cham
pionship cup, in one match breaking
80 out of hit quota Of 100 targets, which
is by way of being a very nice little
piece of shooting. ColfaX's departure
leaves a vacancy in the ranks OF the
gun men which will be hard to fill, as
he was a tower of strength to the pow
der makers in the Philadelphia Trap
shooters League matches.
The event on Saturday for the cham
pionship is expected to bring out some
of the best shooting seen this year,
and a classy field should enter and
compete for the state title. Among
tnObe WHO are tApet leu u. lAht w ~
the cup race are. Edward Banks, W. A.
Joslyn. T. w. Baker. John Minnick,

The coveted cup is a handsome Ster-
ling silver affair, standing about eigh-
teen inches high. and of very pretty
design. II will continue in competition
as a challenge trophy until prior to the

those who have won it one OF more

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
SMYRNA, Del, Jan. 27.-Sportsmen
at a meeting here on Monday night,
discussed the present game laws, in
cluding the resident gunners' license
tax. They all agreed to form an ap-
peal for the repeal Of the law. The
hunters also objected to extending the
Sussex dog law into Kent and New
Castle counties.
Those present also endorsed a move
to have the present Legislature pass a
law prohibiting anyone to sell game.
The meeting also discussed the Game
and Fish Commissioners contention
that they cannot replenish the State
with birds and rabbits unless they get
the revenue from cunning and fish
licenses. 1t was pointed out that this
revenue had been collected for two
years and that game was scarcer last
fall than ever before.
There was much time spent on the
subject of how to get rid of skunks.
It was suggested that a bounty would
reduce the number of the pests.
