Eastern Team Championship. 
On Jan. 15, at Guttenberg race track, Guttenberg, N. J., the 
Eastern team championship at live birds, arranged by Mf. Chris 
Inteman, took place according to programme. In its support 
there was an unexpectedly large entry, and there was an earnest 
and close competition. The conditions were; Three men of any 
club, 28yds. rise, 10 birds per man; entrance fee, $7.50 per team, 
birds extra. Each of the members of the winning team received 
a silver loving cup. Money was divided into three parts, 50 per 
cent, to first; 30 per cent, to second; 20 per cent, to third. 
Fifteen teams entered the competition, making a total of forty- 
five individual contestants. First prize and place was won by 
• the team of the Jackson Gun Club, the members of which were 
•Capt. A. W. Money, A. Bunn (each of whorn killed 10 straight) 
and G. Hopper (who scored 9, his second dying out of bounds). 
Thus this team had a total of 29 out of 30, an excellent perform- 
ance. The Jeannette Gun Club was close up with a total of 28. 
The members and scores were: G. StefTens 9, G. E. Loeble 9, 
G. E. Greiff 10. The Brooklyn Gun Club's team No. 2 and the 
East Side Gun Club team tied on 26 and divided. Out of the 
forty-five contestants, five— Capt. A. W. Money, A. Bunn, G. E. 
GreifF, S. Glover and A. Kyte killed straight. 
The sky was overcast, and the light was dull, yet not unfavor- 
able for good shooting. There were two sets of traps, facing 
nearly north and south. A stiff westerly wind blew steadily 
across the traps, helping the birds materially many times to 
escape out of bounds. The b:rds were a mixed lot, with now and 
then one of the swiftest. Following are the scores:

Battimotc — Keystone. 
Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 17. — Baltimore and Philadelphia re- 
newed their old-time friendly rivalry for pre-eminence in trap- 
shooting, each city being represented by powerful organiza- 
tions in the way of shooting interests. Baltimore was represented 
by the Baltimore Shooting Association, and Philadelphia was 
represented by the Keystone .Shooting League. The contest was 
a ten-man team shoot, 25 live birds per man, and it was 
close from start to finish, and thus was ever in doubt and full of 
interest. At the end, , the result hung on the last bird. Each 
team killed 211 out of a possible 250, a tie. The contest took place 
on the grounds of the -Keystone Shooting League, at Holmesburg 
Junction. It was the first of a series of three shoots between these 
organizations. The grounds and club house were crowded with 
enthusiastic spectators. The birds, aided by the gale of wind, 
were very fast, and a great number of good kills were made by 
members of both teams. 
Baltimore held, at one stage, a comfortable lead of 8 birds, but 
this lead was reduced bird by bird until a tie was made, and then 
the enthusiasm broke out, for the local team looked like winners. 
The conditions were teams of ten men, 25 live birds per man, 
29yds. rise. The teams were paired off, each shooting out its 
score before the next pair faced the traps. On the side there 
was an optional sweep of $10, divided 50, 30 and 20 per cent., 
class shooting. - 
Lester German and John Rothacker were the first pair. German 
killed 24 to 22 for Rothacker; Baltimore led by 2. 
Dr. E. G. Darling and H. L. Landis were the second pair. 
Landis reduced Baltimore's lead to 1 bird, killing 21 to his op- 
ponent's 20. 
J. W. Chew and Fred Schwartz came third in order. Schwartz 
scored 24, Chew 22, and Keystone led by 1. 
The fourth pair, George Burrough and Edward Johnson, re- 
sulted in disaster for Keystone. Johnson killed only 18 to his 
opponent's 22, thus giving Baltimore a lead of 3 birds in the 
first 100. 
A. R. Middleton outshot Charles E. Geikler m the fifth, and 
thereby added 2 more birds to Baltimore's lead. Geikler scored 
17; his opponent 19. 
S. D. Thomas and F. W. Van Loon, the sixth pair, tied on 19. 
Of the seventh pair. Jack Dunn, a player on the New York 
baseball team, started well, but could not stand the fast pace set 
by F. M. Hobbs, who 'scored ,24. Dunn lost 5. These scores re- 
duced ^Baltimore's lead, to 1 bird, and made the followers of the 
local team confident of winning, as their strongest men were to 
follow. - , 
Keystone gained the lead m the eighth combination, m which 
Dr. George D. B. Darby outshot Harry Ducker by a score of 23 
to 21 
J. R. Malone and Howard Ridge were the ninth pair, and fin- 
ished with a tie on 22. ; — , , ^ . . 
When the last P^'' faced the traps. Hood Waters, for BaltiiBOre, 
and 1. W. Budd for Keystone, the latter organization, had a lead 
of 1 bird. They tied in the tenth round. 
The match was tied again in the twenty-second round, when 
Budd lost a driver, and to the spectators it looked as though the 
match was lost, when Budd missed again in the twenty-third 
round. Waters was shooting well, and it seemed almost impos- 
sible for him to miss his last bird; he drew an incomer and 
hit it hard, but could not stop it inside the wire.

Trap Around Reading. 
Reading, Pa., Jan. 16.— The third of a series of live-bird shooting 
matches between Lieut. D. Frank Keller and Walter Jones took 
place on the Spring Valley grounds. Each shot at 50 birds, and 
Keller won the match. Out of the first 50 each killed 34. In the 
shoot-off at 15 birds, there was another tie, each man killing 12, 
but in the final shoot-off at 5 birds Keller killed 3 and Jones 2. 
The first two matches were won by Jones. The final one was the 
most even that has been seen in this vicinity for some time, and 
the betting was about even. Jones had hard luck in his first 
match, 4 birds dropping dead out of bounds. 
West Chester, Pa., Jan. 14. — ^Arrangements for a live-bird shoot

PouGHKEEPSiE, N. Y., Jan. 17. — Nine men, including Mr. 
Wickes, of the Hyde Park Gun Club, took part in to-day's prac- 
tice shoot. Four 25-bird events were shot off, and some good

ing his first 25 straight, and afterward following it up with 24, 
making 49 out of 50 shot at. Several visitors were present, who, 
while taking no part in the shooting, seemed to enjoy the sport

welcome, their presence adds to the pleasures of a shoot. The

Sweet Potatoes Grown by a Massachusetts Mechanic. 
Mr. Geo. R. Morgan, a pattern-maker of Revere, Mass., went 
down to Pinebluff, North Carolina, last winter as one of the 
advance guard of the New England colony who are settling near 
that place. Mr. Morgan was to experiment and report results as 
to what a mechanic could do. One of his crops, on land that he 
cleared from the woods, was sweet potatoes, and he reports that 
the yield will average more than one hundred and fifty bushels to 
the acre, and at a rate of fifty cents a bushel, which is the least 
they sell for at Pinebluff, the potatoes will yield $75 an acre. The 
land cost Mr. Morgan $10 an acre, clearing, fencing and cultiva- 
tion $25 an acre, leaving him a net profit of $40 an acre. That 
speaks well for a New England mechanic. To show that land will 
make enough to pay for itself and all expenses and $40 profit is 
certainly a good showing. Mr. Morgan's place is located on the 
Seaboard Air Line Railway, the Southern road that is doing so 
much to induce Northerners to locate on its line.

So many people from all over the country now spend their winters 
in Florida that the demand for yachts and house-boats for use in 
Southern waters has greatly increased. The dangers encountered 
by yachts taking the trip down the coast during the winter are 
well known. Owing to the scarcity of builders familiar with yacht 
work in Florida, most of the boats have been built by Northern 
yards. This is no longer necessary, however, for the Merrill- 
Stevens Engineering Co. have established at Jacksonville, Florida, 
a fine plant, and they will make a specialty of building yachts and 
house-boats adapted for use in Southern waters. 
We wish to call attention to the advertisement of Messrs. Wal-

and stationary gasoline engines, and they also build launches and 
working boats. The automobile department is an important 
feature of their business. _
