FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Oct. 15, 1904. 
W. P. T. S. L. at Allegheny. 
Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. S. — The closing tournament of the Western 
Pennsylvania Trapshooters' League, held Oct. 4 and 5, under the 
auspices of the North Side Gun Club on the grounds of the 
Herron Hill Gun Club, at Davis Island, was a great success. 
While the attendance was not as large as expected, the shoot was 
nevertheless a first-class one in every respect, and during the two 
days 10,000 targets were trapped. 
The trade was represented by Luther J. Squier, H. P. Fessenden, 
H. G. Watson and Chas. G. Grubb. 
L. B. Fleming managed the shoot, and wishes to extend thanks 
to Messrs. Grubb, Fessenden and Watson for their untiring efforts 
to keep things moving rapidly. 
Through the kindness of Mr. G. E. Painter, his fine steam yacht, 
the Wauneta, was placed at the disposal of the shooters and their 
friends, and made the run of eight miles to and from the shooting 
grounds each day. As the yacht passed the Pittsburg Exposition 
on the return trip the second day the shooters aboard were given 
a rare treat in the way of speed, the Wauneta running the last 
half mile at a speed close to thirty miles an hour. Those aboard 
will never forget that boat ride, and it is indeed doubtful if Mr. 
Painter ever forgets the rousing cheers given him as the boys 
stepped ashore. 
High average the .first day was made by J. T. Atkinson, of 
New Castle, Pa., who broke 166 out of 175 bluerocks; Kelsey, of 
Pittsburg, *second, with 165; L. B. Fleming third with 164, and 
Calhoun, Irwin, Walker and Davis fourth with 163. 
Long runs for the tournament were Hickey 97, Fleming 82, 
Squier 54, and Atkinson 51. High average for the two days was 
made by Kelsey, who broke 332 out of 350. J. F. Calhoun was 
second with 327, Atkinson and Squier third with 326, Irwin and 
Davis fourth with 321, Fleming fifth with 314, and West sixth with 
311. 
The League team race was won by Herron Hill and Scottdale 
teams, with North Side Gun Club second. The six-man team 
race for a purse of $120 between the All-Pittsburg team and the 
Baldwin Gun - Club team, of Carrick, Pa., was won by the 
former team, with a margin of SO targets.

Indep enrJent — Allentown, 
Easton, Pa., Oct. 1. — The deciding shoot between the Allen- 
town Rod' and Gun Club, of Allentown, Pa., and the Independent 
Gun Club, of Easton, Pa., was held to-day near Acker's Hotel, 
South Bethlehem, on new grounds, just completed. 
The Easton shooters came out the winners by a very close mar- 
gin, which can be noted by the scores. Comment is necessary 
on the low scores made by many of the shooters, and it was on 
account of the very strong wind blowing across the trap, which 
made the flight of the targets snake-like, and in consequence 
many birds were missed by shooters which under ordinary condi- 
tions would have been broken. 
This last match won by the Easton shooters put them in the 
position, of the champion ten-man team in this section of the 
State, having defeated all comers either in a series of matches or 
single matches. 
Rumors are afloat that the Independent boys will shortly be 
challenged by a Philadelphia team, and be given a chance to see 
whether they can defeat a team composed of the best shots in 
that section. 
The following are the scores, showing that the Independent 
team won by one bird: 
Easton Team— Pleiss 23, Snyder 15, Housman 22, Francotte 19„ 
H. Miller 15, J. Heil 16, Brunner 17, Markley 20, W. H. Maurer

Indiana State Championship. 
Ft. Wayne, Ind., Oct. 2. — The contest for the State champion- 
ship of Indiana and the gold medal emblematic of it took place 
on the grounds of the Corner Rod and Gun Club to-day. 
A preliminary at 25 targets served as a means of settling some 
differences of opinion concerning the relative shooting skill of 
Messrs. Henry Hockmeyer and H. A. Witte, for a purse of $10. 
Witte won by a score of 19 to 8. 
Several hundred spectators witnessed the main contest. It 
was a close race from start to finish. The birds were good. The 
v/eather was cloudy. The boundary was 40yds., and each con- 
testant lost two dead out. Mr. G. Williamson, of Muncle, Ind., 
acted as referee, and Mr. Dark, of Indianapolis, acted as scorer. 
The tie will probably be shot off on Oct. 22. 
This is the second tie of Messrs. Clark and Witz for the State 
championship. Scores:

there were a score or more from Wabash, Huntington and Roan- 
oke. A crowd of Clark's friends came up from Wabash, headed 
by "Wampus" Flynn, and Herman Kronk led a delegation of 
Huntingtonians. About a dozen marksmen from Roanoke were 
also among the spectators.

New York Athletic Club. 
Travers Island, N. Y., Oct. 8.— Although the day was perfect 
for target shooting, only a small number of members appeared at 
the regular shoot. On account of several members complaining of 
«asy targets, all three traps were screwed up to throw the targets 
75yds., and the result can be plainly seen below. 
Mr. Barnes was an easy winner in event No. 1, as well as No. 
4. Both of these events were for silver loving cups. Mr. S. 
Scott, a guest, although not shooting in his usual good form, cap- 
tured three events. 
The star event was No. 6, for a very handsome trophy, which 
was won by Mr. Perkins. 
The last two events were won by Mr. Greiff, who had shot very 
badly in all events except the seventh and eighth. 
Event 1, 25 targets, handicap allowance added. Gus E. Greiff 
ibroke 19, plus 1, equal 20; F. L. Barnes, 19-4-23; L. G. Schroeder,
