Philadelpliia Trap-Shootc^s^ League* 
Ninth Monthly Contest. 
The ninth monthly contest of the Philadelphia Trap-Shooter,'.' 
League was held Jan. 1 (New Year's Day), 1898, on the grounds 
of the Florists' Gun Club, Wissinoming, Pa. The shoot was in 
reality under the auspices of the Frankford Gun Club, of Phila- 
delphia, whose grounds are at Bridesburg, Pa. Owing to these 
grounds being unsuited for so large a gathering of shooters as 
, usually, graces the monthly league shoots, the Florists very cour- 
teously tendered the Frankford "Club the use of the grounds for 
the occasion. 
Although we "have often passed these grounds when traveling 
between Philadelphia and New York over the P. R. R., this was 
the first time we had ever visited them. It was also the first 
time we had ever attended one of the monthly gatherings of the 
new league. The day was bright and clear, "but there was a strong 
northwest gale blowing that brought with it a regular Dawson 
City temperature. It was the coldest day of the season so far, 
and the sun, although he shone with all his might, couldn't mod- 
erate the freezing temperature one little bit. The shooting hotise 
was small, very small, but ample for all usual requirements, such 
as club shoots, etc. To-day, however, there were over seventy 
shooters on the grounds, and every one of the seventy wanted 
to get indoors and keep warm. The .stove, too, was small, but it 
was well worth hugging, and it got well hugged. The small bov 
who acted as stoker thoroughly enjoyed his job and kept the 
stove red-hot all the time. Lunch, coffee, etc., were served in the 
club house of the Delaware River Club, a social organization 
whose grotinds adjoin those of the Florists, and who tender the 
shooters the use of its quarters on .such occasions. It is only 
two minutes' walk from the shooting house to the club house, 
but that two minutes on Jan. 1 was enough to make one feel the 
cold before one reached the shelter of one or other of the two 
buildings. 
The shooting grounds face about due east, fhe river running 
within a couple of gunshots of the traps. The low shore line 
of .Jersey on the west bank of the river does not injure the ex- 
cellent background for target shooting, and we should imagine 
that some good scores are made over the Florists' traps Under 
more favorable weather conditions than prevailed on New Year's 
Day. The clouds of sandy dust that were swept into the air on 
the Jersey side, when the gale struck it after crossing the river, 
gave one a good idea as to the force and speed of the wind. If 
anj'thing else were needed, the erratic flight of the targets was 
enough. The blue rocks bobbed up when they should have been 
boobmg dowm, and vice versa; it was no wonder that ciphers 
were so common. The targets were thrown trom a set of blue 
rock expert traps, and also from a magaiitrap. The league race 
was shot from the expert traps, the magautrap being reserved 
during the afternoon for the open sweeps. 
1 he league, which is soon to complete its first year, is com- 
posed of eleven clubs, and so strong is the interest taken in the 
team race that each club was represented on this occasion by a 
team of six men. These teams are handic;ipped afresh every 
month, the weaker teams being allowed a larger number of tar- 
gets to shoot at, while otiiers who show an imnrovement are cut 
down a bit. Points are scored at each .shoot, as follows: 150 
breaks is the highest possible, and all teams scoring that amount 
divided the number of points due that number of high teams. 
Say eleven teams compete, as in this shoot; first place counts 10 
points and second place counts 9 points; on this occasion the 
?oiithwark and Wayne clubs both made highest possible and 
divided the 19 points due for the first two places; U. of P. scored 
8 Doints and Penn Gun Club scored 7 points, and so on down. 
The scratch team is the Independent team, the Florists being 
next to them on the list. Frankford made a good showing, but 
was badly handicapped by one of its team; the same may lie 
-said of the Forest team, this team in addition being obliged to 
shoot Its score when it was really too dark to see a target. Both 
the Southwark and the Wayne clubs did some good work under the 
•weather conditions, while the first three men on the Penn team 
broke 82 out of 86. One member of this team was Mr. Jenkins, the 
inventor of the magautrap. Mr. Jenkins showed that he could 
break targets ju.st as capably as he could devise a machine for 
throwing them; he broke 27 out of his 2S. The longest runs made 
by aiiy ot the sixty-six shooters in the team race were made by 
Ritter and J. R. Yost, of the Penn team, both men running 22 
straight before dropping a target. 
The whole shoot was capably run and managed by J. K. Starr, 
the secretary of the league and its organizer; he was cashier and 
everything' else except squad hustler. Sickness on the part of one 
or two of the working members of the Frankford Club made help 
scarce, and lots of valuable time was wasted. Still. 4,635 target.s 
were thrown during the day, the team race accounting for 2,130 
of the number. The detailed scores in this event were as below:

It was really far too cold for there to be any fun in shooting 
targets on such a day, Hence the list of entries in the sweeps 
were kept down to a comparatively low ebb all day. The counter- 
attraction of a live-bird handicap on the grounds of the Keystone 
Shooting League, nearby took away several shooters during the 
afternoon- Shooting at known angles from the expert set of traps 
in front of the shooting house, which broke the force of the wind 
for the shooters there very considerably, was something different 
from standing out in the open field in front of the magautrap, 
where the wind had full sweep of everything. It was worse than 
chilly — ^far worse. Scores in the 14 sweeps were as below:

Notes from Reading. 
Reading, Pa., Dec. 20.— A match took place Dec. IS at the 
Spring "Valley Hotel shooting grounds, between Brooke Harrison 
and John Shaaber. The match was at 25 live pigeons. Harrison 
killed the whole 25, but had the bad luck to have 3 three <lrop 
dead out of bounds; thus his score was 22. Shaaber scored 15. 
The match was for a supper at the expense of the loser. A large 
crowd witnessed the contest. 
Shoot at Hancock. 
A match at live birds was held at the Hancock House, F. W. 
Schwartz, proprietor on Dec. 18, which was well attended. Each 
man shot at 12 birds, which were very strong flyers, and aided 
by a strong wind across the shooting grounds, made high scores 
impossible. The scores were as follows: Fisher 9, Fritch 6, F. W. 
Schwartz 7, G \V Schwartz 7, Metzgcr 8. 
Hoy Defeats Hobbs. 
The drizzling rain at King of Prussia, near Norristown, pre- 
vented ordinary good scoring at a live-bird match between Frank 
L. Hoy, of Norristown, and A. Hobbs, of Radnor. Hoy killed 
9 out of 12 birds and Hobbs 4 out of 11. A large number of 
sportsmen gathered to witness the shoot. The terms were 15 live 
pigeons apiece for a purse of $25. 
Nettles vs. Hawkins. 
^^n Thursdav, Dec. 16, Frank Nettles, of Roversfield, defeated 
Charles G. Hawkins, of Pottstown, in a match at 20 live pigeons 
each, at the East End shooting grounds, Pottstown, by a score 
of 17 to 11. They will shoot another match at Royersfield, Dec. 
24. Several sweeps were also shot, as follows: 
First event, 5 birds: Hawkins 4, Schuler 3, S. E. Davis 1. 
Second event, 5 birds: Trumbauer 4, Schuler 3, Hawkins 3, 
Schcifiey 3, S. E. Davis 2, Nettles 1. 
Shooting at Eniaus. 
All interesting shooting match occurred at W'ise's Hotel, at 
Enwus. The first event was a 10-bird match between J. F. Weiler, 
of Allentown, and I. Brumuenstein. Weiler killed 6 and Brumben- 
stein killed 3. The match was for $10 a side, and considerable 
money changed hands on the result. Sweeps followed: 
^ No. 1, 10 birds: Weiler 9, Mohr 9, Acker 8, Engelman and Cohn_ 
7, Greisemer 3. 
No. 2, 7 birds: Mohr and Schwartz 7, Weiler, Acker and Brev 6, 
Wieand 5, Cohn, Greisemer, Engelman and Wise 3. 
Press Gun Club Shoot. 
At Norristown the Press Gun Club held a shoot Dec. 18. Nevin 
Cassel, S. B. Griflith, Samuel Earl and Walter Barnes tied for 
first place, each killing 3 out of 5 birds. In the shoot-off Cassel 
took first prize by killing 5; Griffith second with 4. 
Wayne Team vs. U. of P. Team. 
In a cliallenge shoot at 25 clay birds with a team from the 
University of Pennsylvania Gun Club, the Wavne Gun Club won 
on Dec. 18 by a score of 117 to 107. The event was held at Six- 
teenth and Cortland streets, Philadelphia. There was a high wind 
blowing, which interfered with good shooting.

On the third and last day 'of the tournament there will be a 
10-bird race at pigeons, .$5, birds extra, class shooting, four 
moneys. Target events number three in all, two open and one 
for Canadians only, apparently. The latter event reads as foT-- 
lows: "Team race for championship of Canada. Five gold medr'

events are: No. 1, 20 targets, .$2, five moneys, class shooting; 
No. 2, 15 targets, $1.50, four moneys, class shooting. 
The target programmes may: seem small, but the management 
will arrange events to suit the shooters when the programme has 
been shot out. 
The programme also contains a copy of the rules to govern liver 
bird shooting. A glance at these shows that there is very littl^ 
difference between them and the A. S. A. rules. The two point^- 
where the Hamilton rules differ most materially from the A. S: A. 
rules are as follows: "Boundary— The boundary for both siiigl& 
and double bird shooting shall be a 100yds. circle. The circle 
shall be drawn from the center trap." Also: "All birds chal- 
lenged must show flesh shot ma.ri? to be scored 'dead birds.' " 
Ten-bore guns are allowed. 
The following notes should be read, as they contain much that 
those who purpose attending the shoot will want to know: 
"Entries for No. 1 event may be sent to the secretary by mail, 
or will be taken on Monday evening, Jan. 17, 1898, bv'the secre 
tary, at the Brunswick Hotel, Hamilton, where all prizes will be 
paid. All entries not made by Tuesday, Jan. IS, at 12 o'clock 
noon, will be charged 10 per cent, extra. Every known expert or 
professional shooter must get into first or second place in the 
target events, or he will not be entitled to any part of the money. 
Shooting will commence at 10 o'clock A. M, sharp each day of 
the tournament. Arrangements have been marie with all Cana- 
dian railways for a fare and one-third rate. Procure certificate 
from agent at starting point, which when signed by our secretary, 
will entitle holder to rebate. Loaded shells may be had o'n 
grounds. N. B.— A committee of three will be appointed from 
the competitors to see that the birds are fairly trapped for each 
contestant. Positively no outside shooting will be allowed." 
The Hamilton Tottmament. 
The Hamilton Gun Club's tournament -will be held in Hamilton, 
Ont., Jan. 18-20, as already announced in Drivers and Twisters. 
The management of the tournament will be in the hands of Jack 
Parker, so that there will be nothing wanting in that respect. This 
tournament is open to all. 
On each day of the tournament, both targets and live birds 
will be trapped. For the first day there is a 10-bird race at pig- 
eons, $5, birds extra, 40, 30, 20 and 10. $100 guaranteed in this 
event. The 20-bird handicap, .$600 guaranteed, entrance $15, in- 
cluding birds, is also set to commence on this day. There will be 
fourteen prizes in this event, the $600 being divided as fol- 
lows: $125, $85, $65, $55, $45, $35, $35, $35, $25, $25, $25, $15,

20, 15 and 10. No. 4 is a 20-target event, reversed order, $2, class 
shooting, 40, 30, 20 and 10. 
Op the second day the f600 guaranteed event at live birds will 
The Apgar Tournament at Orange Lake. 
The following invitation has been issued broadcast to shooters 
by those who, with others, are working hard to make the Apgar 
benefit shoot the success it should be: 
"On Jan. 26 and 27 the Newburgh Gun Club are to give a 
benefit shoot to our brother sportsman, Neaf Apgar, who has 
been confined to his home by a painful accident. The committee 
most cordially invite you to unite with them, in making the affair 
a success, and promise all who attend a pleasant outing. The 
donations of merchandise have been of the most liberal character, 
and the prize list in the merchandise events will be well worth 
contesting lor. 
■ The shooting will be at Pine Point, on._.Orange Lake, which 
IS reached by trolley from Newburgh. Every facility is offered 
for shooting, and the hotel affords every comlort for guests. The 
Orange Lake Yacht Club will unite with us in entertaining our 
visitors^ and the ice boating will interest you all. We offer no 
regular programme of events, but sweeps, miss-and-outs and team 
races will be arranged to suit the "leasure of the shooters. 
"We hope to make this an old-time social shoot, and a gather- 
ing of sportsmen. Come! Bring plenty of shells for targets, and 
live birds, and leave the rest to us.— David Brown, W. A. Kidd, 
H. C. Higginson, George H. Taggart, J. B. Hal.sted, Committee." 
The programme is rather an unusual one. For the target day, 
Jan. 26, only one event is scheduled, a 10-target merchandise event, 
50 cents entrance, with the following conditions also attached to 
it: "L'nlimited re-entry allowed and proxies permitted. For this 
event merchandise prizes are offered to the actual value of over 
$150." The unlimited re-entry and proxy is novel, and is worth 
trying. It means that any one can take as many chances at 50 
cents each as he wishes; he can shoot his chance himself, or can 
delegate another man to shoot for him. Of coprse there will be 
other sweeps, but no regular programme will be issued. The 
events will be made up "to suit the shooters." 
On the second day, Thursday, Jan. 27, live birds will be trapped. 
The main event will be a 15-bird handicap, $5, birds extra, handi- 
cap rise, four moneys, class shooting. In this event Mr. H. C. 
Higginson will donate a handsome special prize to the high score, 
additional merchandise prizes being also offered in each class. 
Shells should be shipped in care of Neaf Apgar, Pine Point, 
Newburgh, N. Y. When addressed as above, all shells will be 
delivered on the grounds. 
It will be of interest to the many friends of Neaf Apgar to learn 
that he is progressing toward complete recovery as rapidly as 
could be hoped for. Those who are fond of shooting can imagine 
how it has felt for him to sit in an armchair, with crutches beside 
him, while geese and ducks gallivanted on the waters of Orange 
LaKe almost within gunshot of the "old armchair." 
Herron Hill Gtm Cltifa, of Pittsfaurg, 
Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 22. — The first of a series of monthly shoots 
was held at the grounds of the Herron Hill Gun Club, Davis

of whom dropped out before the etid. W- S. King, the scratch 
man, shot from the 31yds. mark, and went out with 24, his score 
being tied by Fargo, 30yds., who lost his eighteenth bird. The 
pair then shot off at 10 birds, King winning with 10 straight, 
making an unfinished run of 30 straight. Bessemer and Smith, 
both 30yds. men, tied for third place on 22. Alec King was the 
only other shooter to finish; he landed in fifth place with 21

The Rosedales vs. Gtielph. 
Toronto, Can., Dec. 17. — Ever since the formation of the Rose- 
dale Gun Club, interest in trap-shooting has taken a deep hold on 
all its members, and it is a pleasure for the fathers of the club 
to see their efforts to have a purely amateur club backed so 
strongly by every member on the roll. On Thanksgiving Day 
we went to Guelph to shoot our first match, and were beaten by six 
birds. To-day they gave us a return match and we evened up 
matters by leaving them six birds behind. In justice to the 
visitors we mention that four of their "Dr. Carvers" could not ac- 
company them, and substitutes took their place who had no 
practice this year. They, however, took their medicine good- 
naturedly and got back at us by inviting us to shoot a third 
match in Guelph on New Year's Day, which, of course, we most 
gladly accepted. Our reception committee met the visitors on 
their arrival, and after showing them some of the sights of the 
city, conveyed them to the club's rooms for dinner. Having to 
leave for home on the 5:30 train prevented our dining them in 
the evening at the National Club, much to our regret. A 
Dakota blizzard put in an appearance and lasted all day, which 
made the shooting somewhat difficult, especially on white birds, 
one member on our team, Mr. Gooderhom, drawing five of them 
in succession. The match was shot through by 4 o'clock, which 
gave the visitors ample time for lunch and tp get their train. 
The teams and scores were as follows— 10 birds per man:
