List of Winnefs in Herron Hill Hacdicap, 
With sixty-nine moneys in the' purse to be decided, and with 
those who broke 84 out of 100 getting at least a $10 gold piece, it 
took quite a little time to arrive at a correct list of winners in 
order of merit. Below is given that list, as it is believed same 
will be of considerable interest:

The thirty-seventh to the sixty-n-nth prizes were all $10 gold 
pieces, and therefore the 86s and 85s, of which there were two and 
eighteen respectively, did not have to shoot off. The 84s, however, 
were thirteen in number, and as there were only ten prizes be- 
tween them, three had to go without anything, and McMillan, 
Anthony and G., O. Be'l were apparently the unlucky ones, ac- 
cording to record as furnished me. 
Target Programme Comp'e'ccf. 
With the awarding of the prizes in the Herron Hill Handicap 
the target programme for the Pennsylvania State Sportsmen's As- 
sociation's fifteenth annual tournament was completed. It had 
been hard work for all concerned, the management and shooters 
combined. The long waits were tedious; that is, for the shooters; 
as for the management, they had no waits or rests, long or short, 
during the entire week; and perhaps not for days before the open- 
tng' of the shoot. 
The magnitude of the task they had to cope with may be gath- 
ered from the fact that they had State and open events to handle 
at the same time, and that with 200 and odd shooters on the 
ground, all wanting to get busy, is anything but a cinch. 
As an item of interest is now given a list of targets thrown 
during the tournament, as taken from the scores furnished. 
W hile the figures may not be actually correct, they are approxi- 
mately so, and are only given for what they are worth: 
Preliminary day 10,000 
First day 36,&60 
Second day: 
Open events 11,140 
Wolstencroft trophy and ties 4,675 
Lindsley trophy and ties 1,100 
• Harrisburg trophy and ties 750 
Reading trophy and ties.., 700 
Denny trophy and ties 4,650 
Third day: 
. Herron Hill Handicap, ties not included 22,000 
Total 91,875 
Foi rth Day, May 5, 
The management had worked hard over night and early in the 
morning of this day to transform the target grounds into three 
sets of live-bird grounds, with 50yd. wire boundaries and high pro- 
tecting fences between each set of traps, much after the same 
style as adopted at Interstate Park in the old days. A young 
cyclone that whirled around Brunot's Island on the night of the 
4th caused some damage to the arrangements, and b,ew down a. 
fence or two, but the shooting commenced as soon as the boat 
made its landing. 
The birds were a more than fair lot, but the_. long grass that 
surrounded the traps made them often slow to start, in addition to 
which most of the time there was an incoming wind, which, with 
the Driving Park buildings in the rear of the shooters, made many 
of the birds incomers which would probably otherwise made 
straight cuts for the outer boundary. 
With three State events on the programme, in addition to the 
main event, the Driving Park Handicap, on their hands, the man- 
agement had their work set for them to get through the pro- 
gramme in anything like due order. Most of the ties were shot 
oft on the mornmg of May 6, it being impossible to finish them 
over night. Thus, with the preliminary day on -the 1st, there were 
six days of continued sport on Brunot's Island before it could be 
said that the fifteenth annual tournament of the Pennsylvania 
State Sportsmen's Association had been brought to a successful 
close. 
The several eve.nts are treated of below, and the scores are 
given with, the shoot-offs where required. A rough calculation 
made from the scores apparently shows that a grand total of 2,531 
birds were trapped in the four events and in the shoot-offs con- 
nected with those events, as follows: Williamsport trophy, 976; 
Driving Park Handicap, 882; John A. Wilson trophy, 358, and 
L. C. Smith trophy, 315. 
The Driving Paik Handicap. 
Open to all, nobody barred. Twenty birds per man, $20 entrance, 
birds included; handicaps 25 to 32yds. One money for every five 
entries or fraction thereof. In addition to first money the winner 
to receive a $100 sterling silver loving cup presented by the Her- 
ron Hill Gun Club. High guns, not class shooting. (As there 
were fifty-seven actual entries, there were twelve moneys.) 
It was at first intended that this event, as per statement in the 
■ programme, should be at 25 birds, $25 entrance; but owing to the 
large number of entries in the State events, and the fact that 
therefore only one set of traps could be devoted to this "open to 
all" event, the number of birds was cut to 20 and the entrance to 
$20 per man. There were originally sixty-five entries for the event, 
but when it was seen that even by cutting down the event as 
above, it was almost certain that the decision as to ownership of 
the trophy could not be arrived at until Saturday morning, eight 
were allowed to withdraw, the number of actual contestants being 
fifty-seven, among them some of the best in the country. 
At the close of the day, when it was too dark to attempt to 
shoot off the ties, there were nine men with 20 straight to their 
credit and eight who had scored 19 out of 20._ Among the latter 
was Lester German, of Aberdeen, Md., a sterling good shot, who 
had what was generally considered some hard luck in connection 
with his ninth bird, ivhich, so far as I could tell, was scored lost 
to him under exceptionally unfortunate (to him) conditions. The 
happening was thus: He drew a swerving outgoer from No. 1 
or 2 trap, which he missed clean with his first, but brought down 
with a quick and accurate second, drawing generous applause for 
his work. The rule was to shoot two birds .before leaving the 
score, the first bird not being gathered until both had been shot 
at unless there was reasonable doubt as to whether the first bird 
could be gathered or not. There seemed no doubt about German's 
bird being dead,^ and he was permitted by the referee (who had 
called his first bird "dead," and had it scored so), to shoot at his 
second, which he killed in good shape. The discharge of his 
gun, however, wakened up a bird that gathered itself together and 
flew heavily to the left quarter boundary. German and several others 
were positive it was not his b'rd, but a pricked one from one of the 
two other sets of traps, so he made no special efforts to have it 
retrieved. The boy sent to gather it was unable to get really near 
it, and it went out, flying strongly, whereupon the "dead bird" in 
German's ninth round was changed to a "lost." The claim made 
also was that German's bird was darker in color than the one 
that got away. Later on a dead bird was found in the long grass, 
which some said was surely German's bird, but no further change 
was made in the score. The long grass in the outfield was a heavy 
handicap on locating fallen birds accurately, and is solely re- 
sponsible for any doubt in this case as to whether it really was 
Cieniian'.s bird that got away, and which lost him his chance of 
the cup, or whether it was his bird that was later on discovered 
dead in the grass. Without attempting or desiring to criticise in 
the least, it would seem as if a "no bird" was the worst that 
German should have got in such a case, unless it was positively 
certain that the dead b'rd discovered later was not his ninth bird. 
Among those with "20 straight" were C. M. Powers, of Decatur 
111. ; H. C. Hirschy, of Minneapolis, winner of the last G. A. H. 
at pigeons, in which there were 456 entries; and C. A. Young, of 
Youngstown, O., all at 31yds., Yovmg shooting a repeating 
"Young" gun. Three out of the nine were 30yd. men — "Tryon," 
a nom de fusil that has lately been adopted by a Cleveland 
shooter of considerable repute; J. R. M-alone, runner-up in the 
G. A. H. of 1900, and the Pittsburger, Bessemer. The other three 
were Geo. S. Trafford, of Lebanon, Pa., 29yds.; N. Johnston and 
Henry Gee, a Pittsburger, both at 28yds. The winner was Powers, 
who killed 14 straight, Johnston being the runner-up. Young and 
Bessemer both dropped out in the thirteenth round; Henry Gee 
in the ninth, Malone in the eigtlih, and Trafford in the seventh. 
Hirschy went out in the fotirth, and Tryon in the third. Thus 
Powers landed the cup which, while described in the programme 
as a $100 sterling silver loving cup, actually cost the Herron Hill 
Gun Club practically ,$130, and was a beauty indeed. 
The shoot-off of the 19s for the three remaining moneys was 
quite short, as only six showed up to contest for their portion of 
the purse. The two missing ones were W. C. Danser and Frank 
Muldoon, both of Freehold, N. J., and both 28yd. men. L._ C. 
Willard, of Chicago (31yds.) missed his first bird in the ties; 
. P. S. Pyle (28yds.) lost his second. The remaining four shot 
along until the sixth round, when C. O. Le Compte, of Eminence, 
Ky. (30yds.) lost his bird, leaving Lester German (31), Geo. 
Roll, of Chicago (31), and C. B. Hawley (28), to whack up the 
last three moneys in the purse. Scores follow:

Hard Fight for Championship Hooofs, 
As will be seen from the above scores, there were ten men tied 
with straight scores of 15 each; then came twelve with 14 each, 
sixteen with 13 and ten with 12, so that out of a total of fifty= 
three entries, forty-eight got into the money; thus the various 
winnings outside of the honor taking the trophy and the cham- 
pionship did not amount to much. It was most unfortunate that 
birds should have run out, as otherwise there would have been a 
final real disposition of the lioncr of being champion of Pennsyl- 
vania. As it was, when the birds did run out, Pontefract, Derk 
and Coleman had each of them a run of 50 straight in the ties 
to their credit, and the championship honors were decided by 
lot, Pontefract being the lucky man, not that he had not fully 
aejerved all that was coming to him, after having scored 65 
straight all told in the event. Two years ago Fred Coleman won 
both the target and the pigeon championships, and he certainly 
worked hard and deserved both this year, as he had corralled the 
target championship earlier in the game. Fate, however, was 
against him, and also Derk; but both nevertheless have the pleas- 
ant recollection of having "fit some" at Pittsburg, on May 6. 
From the scores in the shoot-off, which follows, it will be seen 
that KeLoey and Beamesdorff fell out in the third round ; Frank 
in the fourth, and A. H. King and John J. Hallowell in the fifth. 
Hon. Frank Godcharles, of Milton, Pa., one of the best sports- 
men in the State, lasted only until his seventh round,; but the 
lusty Geo. Trafford, of Lebanon, Pa., hung on to the end of the 
seventeenth round, when he had totalled 31 straight in this event. 
Then came the struggle, which only ended as above, when birds 
gave out, and Dame Fortune had to be dallied with. '

This event, the Wilson trophy, was quite a sporty affair, but 
only twenty-six thought it advisable to put up their $10 and 
fight it ovit for the cup and cash consideration offered. • Of that 
•number, six men tied with clean scores of 15 . each, and shot off, 
miss-and-out, for position and cup, there being only three: moneys, 
high guns to win. The fortunate (or perhaps, skillful) three were 
V. Williams, Jimmie Atkinson and Rahm, the winner of the big 
pigeon event at Detroit last winter, the Gilman & Barnes trophy, 
when a blizzard made trouble for many a good man. Drinkhard 
and Frank fell down in the second round of the ties, and Kred 
Coleman dropped his sixth bird; Rahm went out in the ninth 
round, and Atkinson in the seventeenth, after he and Williams had 
had quite a prolonged struggle for first place and cup. Scores:
