It will be remembered that at the EASTERN HANDICAP, Barton Lewis was High Amateur, 
344 ex 350, using PETERS Shells. 
Chas. A. Young, the 1913 Professional Champion of the U. S., won High General Average at 
the Elks’ Tournament, Cedar Point, O., August 12-13, using PETERS Shells as usual. Score, 
295 ex 300. 
The consistent and persistent winnings of the P brand simply means that 
whenever quality cuts any figure at all. these goods will be found at the top.

Hercules G. C. 
Temple, Pa., Aug. 23.—The registered tournament of 
the Hercules Gun Club was a success, but very likely 
the Squier money-back system would have increased the 
attendance. High professional honors were won by Neaf 
Apgar with 145 breaks to his credit. J. Mowell Hawkins 
followed with 141 for second, and Ws M. Hammond third 
with 139. High amateur honors were won by W. S. 
Behm with 144 breaks, which honored him with the 
Reading Eagle trophy, presented by the Reading Eagle 
Co. F. D. Miller, of Albany, a newcomer at the traps 
this season, ranked second high amateur to-day. He 
kept the boys guessing when he broke straight in four 
events. He never fell below 13, scoring 141 out of his 
quota. Good for you, Frank. R. D. Morgan, of Greeley, 
Neb., who is on a tour through the East, landed fourth 
honors with 139. A. S. Heil and J. Andrews tied for 
third honors on 140 breaks. 
Some one got Mengel’s goat in the fifth and tenth 
event, when he dropped to 12, scoring 137 on the pro¬ 
gram, landing high gun in Class B for the Bristol steel 
fishing rod. 
E. H. Adams arrived at 12:30 on account of taking 
stock at the Reading Glove Works, where he is super¬ 
intendent. He was rushed to shoot up. causing him to 
drop 14 out of his quota, thus scoring 136 on the pro¬ 
gram. Melchior arrived at 3 P. M., from Hazleton and 
shot in three events. W. M. Eck, captain of the Elm 
Leaf, shot in better form, breaking straight in the third 
event. Oliver. Pratt and Eyre were present from Phil¬ 
adelphia in their touring car. Pratt shot a good clip, 
breaking straight in two events. Oliver lost his nerve 
in the sixth, dropping 5. Eyre went straight in two 
events. J. E. Levan, who is taking after his chum 
Behm, made the boys sit up and take notice when he 
broke ’em all in events 8 and 9. Eisenhour was five tar¬ 
gets ahead of his chum Schmeck. Frank Wertz, who 
shoots with gun below the elbow, broke 120 from bis 
quota. E. F. Sobers, the Bethlehem heavy-weight, shot 
his usual gait, winning fourth prize in Class D, a bottle 
of whiskey. C. B. Prutzman won the same in Class C. 
Fred Ziegler broke 130 for first in Class D. a pair 
of Common Sense shoes. 
J. C. Bitterling was out of form, although he has no 
apology to offer. 
There was some performance between Apgar and 
Hawkins for first honors in the professional class; each 
broke straight in five events. Neaf ran 108 straight here 
on Oct. 12, 1912. 
The boys all missed noisy John Englert, of Catasau- 
qua. Al. could not say whether it’s a boy or a girl. 
We hope it’s a trapshooter, however. 
H. P. Stapleton shot six events, had to leave on 
No. 95 for Newmanstown, Pa. 
O. S. Sked dropped 13 to-day, which is very un¬ 
usual on our grounds. 
Frank Gerhert arrived at 3 P. M. to take in some 
of the sights. The laughing boy, Harry Ball, did not 
show up to-day. 
T. M. Hawkins took charge of the office. Secretary 
Ludwig was called to Harrisburg by telegram, but re¬ 
turned at noon. W. Miller, Jr., had charge of the trap. 
About 3800 targets were thrown. Not a soul from Har¬ 
risburg was present, although eight of the Reading boys 
shot their program on July 4 and 5. What apology 
shalt thou submit?

Jerjsey City. N. J., Aug. 25. — There were eleven

his black shells, was the daddy of us all, cleaning' up 
with 92. Tom Kelly was the runner-up with 84, with 
J. Hetherington, Jr., giving him a good race for second 
honors, and finished with 83. Our next shooting date 
will be Sept. 7. So come out and pay us a visit, and 
get in the game.

W. C. Trapshooters’ League. 
Long Hill, Conn., Aug. 16.—Hillside Gun Club 
was a pretty scene to-day, with sixty shooters and 
myriads of pretty women spectators and two women 
shooters. 
High gun was disputed between Dr. Funk, E. W. 
Mumford and C. W. Van Stone, each slaying 144 rocks. 
Harry Stevens was there with 147 for top wads-only 
entrant. We heard, on good authority, that Brother 
Sheldon from down Chicopee Falls way, is away on a 
hard-earned vacation. We hope it is true ’cause he 
needs a day off. 
Ole Bill Plammond, he of the cheery Wilmington 
smile, nearly tied Jack Fanning—that is, if he’d made 
135 instead of 131, it would have been a dead heat. 
He kept on smiling, just the same. 
Miss Bolles smeared the ambient atmosphere with 
the fragments of 99, while Mrs. F. Rodgers got the 90, 
but not the 9.

Holland G. C. 
Batavia, N. Y., Aug. 23.—To-day was Novice Day, 
it being the first attempt at the traps for the seventeen 
shooters who shot at 25 targets. J. Nve won first prize, 
a cut-glass dish, with 16 out of 25. C. Ingraham won 
second, a solid silver spoon, with 14. C. Gribbin won 
the prize for low score, 2 out of 25, a new single-barrel 
gun of the “pop” .variety, using cork ammunition, and 
there was some fun when he opened the package. 
New interest has started, and others^ are asking when 
tlie next shoot will be. The answer is, Sept. 13, and there 
will be a special program for the novices, with prizes.
