BOILING SPRINGS VERS US ENDEAVOR. 
April 16 — The Boiling SpriDgg Gun Club, of Rutherford, N. J., and 
the Endeavor Gun Olub, of Jerspy City, N. J,, have been engaged in a 
series of team races at targets. The. Boiling Springs won the first 
heat on their own grounds; the Endeavors won the second by a nar- 
row margin on their grounds at Marion. The third and final match 
was shot this afternoon on the grounds of the Boiling Springs Gun 
Club, Paul Jeanneret having won the toss for choice of grounds 
from George Piercy, the captain of the Endeavor team. On thiB 
occasion the home team won by a good majority, scoring 207 to 184. 
The score of the winners was the result of some very even work, 
the high scores being two 24s, and the low scores two 18s. George 
McAlpin regained his lost form and pounded out 24; W. J. Simpson, 
one of the most consistently good target shots the club claims among 
its members, also scored 24; Paul Jeanneret, F. Hall and Frank Krebs 
were each responsible for 22 breaks. For the losers Carl von Lengerke 
shot very well, adding 24 to the team total, Edwards being next with 
23, L. H. Schortemeier and Eddie Collins being close behind with 21 
apiece. The team totals were as follows:

NEW JERSEY TRAP-SHOOTERS 1 LEAGUE. 
April SI.— The April shoot of the New Jersey Trap-Shooters' League 
was held to-day on the grounds of the South Side Gun Club, of New- 
ark N. J , in glorious spring-like weather. Notwithstanding the fact 
that the grounds of the South Side Club are centrally located and easy 
of access from almost every point in New Jersey, the attendance was 
nothing like what it should have been. Of the ten clubs that form 
the league only five were represented by full teams of six men. The 
teams that competed were: Climax Gun Club, of Plainfleld; Boiling 
Springs Gun Club, of Rutherford; South Side Gun Club, of Newark; 
Endeavor Gun Club, of Jersey City; Union Gun Club, of Springfield. 
These five teams finished in order named. Tbe. Riverside Gun Club, of 
Red Bank, had four men present, but lacked two to complete the 
team. 
The team race was productive of some high scoring, the Climax and 
the Boiling Springs teams scoring respectively 131 and 130 out of the 
150 targets shot at; the South Side Club was third with 128. A epe- 
cial feature of the Bhoot was the great number of high individual 
scores. Out of the forty-two that shot along in the main event six 
scored 25 straight, four made 24, one scored 23 and five made 22. On 
this occasion the management departed from the system of shooting 
this event that had been in use at the previous league races this year, 
that of pplittlng up the teams, and shot the teams as squads. As it 
happened this did not matter much, as the conditions were equal for 
everybody, wind, sun and light being about the same during the en- 
tire race; although it did make quite a difference when, as happened 
while the Endeavor team was at the score, an engine burning the 
softest of soft coal stopped at the coal shutes and sent its black trail 
across the traps like a pall over the face of the sun. 
During the afternoon, for shooting did not commence until about 
12 o'clock, some capital shooting was done Eddie Collins, shooting 
King's Smokeless, broke 96 out of 100 shot at, making the best aver- 
age of the day. It was a treat to all to note that Colonel R. Heber 
Breintnall, president of the South Side Gun Club, had regained his 
lost form and was shooting away up. GeorgeS. McAlpin was another 
who showed that he was able to "find 'em" once again. Empire traps 
and targets were used, of course, the South Side Gun Club having a 
set of these traps always in use, while empire targets have been 
adopted by the League for all its contests. Billy Hobart, secretary 
of the home club, and also secretary of the League, ran the shoot, 
with W. Parker, of Elizabeth, as cashier. W. N. Drake, manager of 
the League team races, looked after the main event, and strangely 
enough never took his gun out of its case; Billy is a good shot and 
loves to shoot, but to-day he never tried his hand at a target. Among 
those looking on was Elmer E. Shaner, manager of the Interstate 
Association, who is very busy just now arranging all the details for 
the E. O. tournament atGuttenburg the first week in May, 
There was one very disagreeable feature about this shoot that we 
were very sorry to see. We refer to one or two palpable cases of 
dropping for place in the minor sweeps. The only redeeming feature 
about these cases was the refreshingly open way in which it was done, 
the delinquents making no bones about it at all. While there is, of 
course, no law to prevent dropping for place, it is so very generally 
conceded that such actions are not in sympathy with the great mass 
of shooters that droppers as a rule do their best not to let their tac- 
tics become public property. One shooter who was present has re- 
cently become quite noted for loitering around until the event is 
almost ready to be closed, entering In the last squad with a well-defined 
intention of seeking the best hole He is a first-rate shot and very 
often successful in his endeavors to "touch the spot." We would sug- 
gest to the managements of certain small shoots in this section that 
they take a leaf out of the books of the Memphis and Knoxville gun 
clubs, or follow Paul North's example in dealing with tbe party: 
Make him enter early or don't let him shoot. Their entry lists will not 
suffer. 
The team scores were: 
Climax: Dutchy 25, Apgar 24, L. H. Schortemeier 22. Aaron Wood-

PLUM ISLAND ROD AND GUN CLUB. 
April #0.— Several members ;of the Plum Island Rod and Gun Club 
went to their grounds on Long Island to see a match between H. Le- 
maire, of Brooklyn, and Frank Lawrence, of New York. The condi- 
tions were 50 targets per man, club rules to govern. Considerable 
interest was taken in the match, and there was a certain amount of

evenly matched, each breaking 41 out of 50 As no definite arrange- 
ment could be come to on the spot regarding shooting off the tie or 
the manner in which it was decided, the principals agreed to shoot 
the match over again in two weeks' time. Scores:
