^ ^ P* T. S. L. at Allegheny. 
Allegheny, Pa., Oct. 7.— The closing tournament of the West- 
ern Pennsylvania Trapshooters' League, held under the auspices 
of the North Side Gun Club of Allegheny, Pa., on Oct. 6 and 
7, marks the close of the most successful trapshooting season in 
western Pennsylvania, and the promoters of the league may well 
feel proud of their efforts to boom a sport which has been abso- 
lutely dead in this section for many years. 
The North Side shooters had expected better attendance from 
the various clubs in the league, as they had by far the most 
entries in the series of tournaments during the entire season. 
Both New Castle and Ligonier Gun clubs failed to send a single 
shooter. However, the tournament was a grand success and one 
of the best ever held in western Pennsylvania. 
Shooters were present irom Brownsville, Corry, Rufisdale Du 
Bois, Irwin, Blairsville, Derrj% Parkersbui-g, W. Va., and Liver- 
pool, and Kavenna, Ohio. Ihe trade was represented by J. M. 
Hawkins, J. S. i^'anning, Frank Butler, Charles G. Grubb and 
Chas. North. 
In the cashier's office were L. Lautenslager and Bill Mc- 
'Crickart, while A. S. HoUingsworth, of JJerry, handled the score 
sheets. Frank Butler was an ideal referee at trap No. 2, and 
Charlie Grubb made himself uselul in general. Chas. North kept 
an eye on the magautraps and hustled squads at the same time. 
L. B. Flemmg, who managed the tournament, wishes to thank 
the above gentlemen for their valuable assistance, as it was largely 
due to their untiring efforts that the shoot was run so smoothly 
and rapidly. 
Tuesday morning opened with very disagreeable weather, be- 
ing very dark with a drizzling rain falling. However, the weather 
did not scare tlie shooters in the least, and by i) o'clock mere 
were plenty of them on the grounds. By this time, it had stopped 
raining. At 10 o'clock the "Mallory Squad" started event No. 1. 
During the day forty-four shooters faced the score and 0,310 tar- 
gets trapped. A stop of one-half hour was made at noon for 
lunch, and the programme was tinished at 3 o'clock. 
High average for the day was made by L. B. Fleming, of the 
North Side Gun Club, who broke IbG out of 175. J. M. Hawkins, 
of Baltimore, finished second with 104. F. E. Mallory, of Parkers- 
burg, third, with 162, and H. C. V\'atson, of Sewickley, fourth, 
with 160. In practice, before the programme was started, Hawkins 
broke 101 straight, and in the regular events he had a run of 
71 without a miss. 
On Wednesday morning a fierce wind was blowing from the 
south, papers and boxes were blown across the grounds and tar- 
gets were anything but easy' to hit. 'Considering the weather, the 
scores were very good, as the wind kept blowing during the en- 
tire day. 
Oct* 7, Second Day. 
Shooting started the second day at 9:15 A. M., and as many of 
the shooters wished to take in the ball game between PittSDurg 
and Boston, things were kept moving at a rapid gait. The pro- 
gramme was finished at 2 o'clock, even though a delay of 20 
minutes was occasioned by the breaking of a saddle on one of 
the traps. 
Forty-four shooters again faced the traps; the same number 
as on the first day, and 6,425 targets trapped. During the two 
days, counting practice shooting, 14,000 targets were thrown. 
High average the second day was made by J. F. Mallory, of 
Parkersburg, with 160 out of 175. J. S. Fanning second, with 
159; Hawkins third, with 158, and Fleming fourth, with 155. For 
the two days J. M. Hawkins led with 322 out of 350. L. B. Flem- 
ing second, with 321; J. F. Mallory third, with 312; R. S. Deniker 
fourth, with 311, and F. E. Mallory fifth, with 307. 
Each of these men received $5 as average money. The North 
Side team, composed of Fleming, Jeff Watson and Kelsey, won 
the team shoot, which gives their club first place and title of 
champions of the Western Pennsylvania Trapshooters' League.

The North Side boys turned out in great shape. Those who 
took part in the shoot were Fleming, Watson, Deniker, Knode, 
Kelsey, Andrews, Bessemer, Pontefract, Howard, McGlashan, 
Henry G., Tony, Jeff. Pyle and BrowTi. The "Mallory" squad, 
consisting of F. E., S. T. and J. F. Mallory, J. W. Stewart and 
C. J. Mowry, were always ready at the score. They said nothing 
but sawed wood— and they can saw some at that. Lou Flem- 
ing, although hustling all the time, managed to land within one 
target of high average. 
Jack Fanning has not yet rested up from his ten months' trip, 
as the scores will show. _ . . . 
Harry Watson, the Sewickley Valley wonder, was not in his 
usual "snappy" form. He still wears Ed. Rike's coat. 
Frank Butler certainly knows how to referee. His decisions 
were prompt and correct. 
Dick Deniker, the war horse of Ruffsdale, as usual, landed near 
the top of the bunch. 
Charlie Grubb found an occasional moment to talk — and eat 
chicken. 
Of the 53 entries who shot during the two days, but three 
men — Fanning, Hawkins and North shot for targets only. 
Flick, the one-armed shot of Ravenna, Ohio, tried a new gun. 
He smashed 20 straight and bought the gun. 
J. M. Hawkins made many new friends by his pleasant and 
gentlemanly manners. The North Side Club came out exactly 
even, financially, on the tournament. They were not out for the 
coin. 
Haffisbtitg: Toufnament. 
The sixteenth annual tournament of the Harrisburg Shooting 
Association was held at Harrisburg, Pa., Oct. 9 and 10. Like all 
late fall tournaments, a chance has to be taken with the weather 
man; and this time he won, for on those two days the sky was 
of the dark, cold, wintry kind. Also a gale of wind, such as the 
writer has not seen at any shoot this season, blew continuously 
for the two days, accompanied by rain about half the time. 
There are but few cities that could turn out as many shooters 
as Harrisburg did at this shoot, under the same weather con- 
ditions. 
The trade was well represented, there being present Mr. J. A. 
R. Elliott, J. M. Hawkins, Frank Lawrence, L. J. Squier, J, R. 
Hull, E. D. Fulford, Harry H. Stevens and N. Apgar, 
Nearly fifty different shooters participated. One of the features 
was a team shoot for cash pizes; no entrance fee; open to any 
gun club in the State; four men to the team; 25 targets per man; 
for $85 in cash, to be divided among the four highest teams, 40, 
30, 20 and 10 per cent. The club donated this money instead 
of putting up a cup, which has been the custom. 
Although the weather was the worst ever, everything moved off 
in good shape, thanks to the good work done by Mr. A. H. 
Roberts, the club's secretary, and by Mr. Frank Lawrence, the 
manager of the shoot. Everybody was willing to lend a helping 
hand, and the shoot was pronounced a success. The scores fol- 
low;

WESTERN TRAP. 
Garfield Gun Club. 
CHIC.^GO, 111., Oct. 10. — The appended scores were made on our 
grounds to-day on the occasion of the fourth shoot of the fourth 
series. Dr. Meek carried off the honors of the day by winning 
Class A trophy on 25 straiglit, while Dr. Huff captured the 
jewelry in Class B on 19. L. Wolff did the trick for Class C on 15. 
The day was an ideal one for target shooting, being cool and 
just a slight breeze from the rear. The attendance was not what 
it should be, but that is accounted for by the open season for 
game.

Nevada Anntial Shoot. 
Nevada, Mo., Oct. 10.— The Nevada Gun Club held their annual 
shoot at Lake Park, Oct. 7 and 8. It was a success from every 
standpoint. The weather was lair, with the exception of a flurry 
of wind occasionally. 'Ihe club was favored with the presence 
the first day of Mr. and Mrs. Butler, of Chanute, Kan., and with 
the short while which Mrs. Butler has been loll^wing the trap, 
she made the old heads "go some." 
The second day was not so well attended, but some very fair 
scores were made. 
The club is indebted to the big-hearted Dave Elliott (brother 
of J. A. R.), of IVansas City, for his untiring help through both 
days, as his ambition any time is to work rather than shoot in 
oraer to keep everything moving. 
The first day's shoot resulted in Mr. Gresham, of Mineral, Kan., 
being high man, with 143 targets, being close run by jviackie, of 
Scammon, Kas, with a total of 142. 
The second day ended, Gresham was 120, Mackie 129, leaving 
Maciv.c uigii sun on the two uuys by a margin ol Z targets.
