THE MID-WINTER
HANDICAP
$13,000.00 in Money and Trophy
- The fifteenth renewal of the Midwinter
Handicap Target Tournament, which
opens the trapshooting season for the new
year, Is scheduled for the full week of
January 16 to 21. The big shoot will
open on Monday, and the final scores are
not to be in on the Consolation until the
following Saturday night.
The money and trophy this year will
amount to $13,000.00, and by a very gen
eral request, the shoot will not be regis
tered. This will give the army of as
pirants an opportunity to bang away at
the big money and trophies without fear
of its effecting their year 's record.
The opening day's program provides
for an Introductory of six events of
twenty-five targets each with an entrance
breaks , as against 2115 for " Chief '
Elmer Wheeler, Frank Troh, Harve Dixon,
D. C. Rand and S. H. Sharman who made
up the competing squad from the West.
The anniversary is a 200 target contest
between previous winners of the Mid
winter Handicap, and is made up of the
100 targets in the Preliminary and 100
in the Midwinter. D. W. Baker, the
Pittsburg crack, won this event last year.
The list of eligibles includes C. W. Billings,
Harry Edwards, Dr. D. L. Culver, C. H.
Newcomb, H. W. Kahler, J. E. Jennings,
S. A. Huntley, W. G. Ramsey, Ira
Galbraith, A. G. Healey, Wm. Wettleaf,
and D. W. Baker, and this year the name
of Frank D. Kelsay will have to be added
in capital letters. Shooters at Pinehurst
will recall this veteran's memorable
achievement over the big field in the Mid
winter last year. This Aurora, N. Y.,
star, who is sixty-five years of age, and
who was Frank Wright's predecessor
as chronic champion of New York State,

One of Annie Oakley's Shooting Classes at the Gun Club
of $10.00, and additional sweeps of $2.50.
The second and third day is about the same
as opening day, while the Preliminary
Handicap is set for Thursday, the fourth
day. Handicaps for this event range from
16 to 22 yards. The choice plum of the
week is set for Friday, when the Midwinter
Handicap will be shot. This is a 100
target event, with handicaps the same as
in the Preliminary, and carries with it six
money prizes guaranteed. The winner,
in addition to getting the handsome trophy
will receive $350.00 sure, and so on down
the line to the sixth high man whose share
will be $100.00.
In addition to the rich handicaps which
prevail throughout the week, other inter
esting features of the shoot will be the
renewal of the Anniversary Event, inau
gurated last year, and the sectional con
test in which the Eastern guns will
compete against the Western aggregation.
All of the 300 or more contestants that
will take part in the three days' general
average contest will be eligible for the
sectional Team Race, the team proper for
each section being limited to five Eastern
and five Western guns scoring the highest
number of breaks for the three regular
days. The dividing line between the East
and West is to be the western boundary of
the states of Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky,
Tennessee and Mississippi. The East
triumphed over the West rather handily in
this event last vear, when Paul Earle.
Tracy Lewis, A. Heil, G-. A. Brown
and F. B. Lofland comprised the Eastern
contingent and scored a total of 2162
dropped two birds out of his first 80,
and when he started his last string he
faced the necessity of breaking the entire
20 in a row in order to win the rich
classic, for S. H. Sharman of Salt Lake
City, had already wound up his session
with 97 breaks. The elderly gentleman
was equal to the occasion, and when his
last target went to ruin it won for him the
handsome trophy and $378.00 in money.
Mr. Kelsay then added to his glories by
taking the Consolation event the following
day.
More than 300 shooters attended the
shoot last year, and from the way in
quiries and requests for reservations are
coming in that number will be greatly
exceeded this year.
