could be imagined. Both Amateur and Professional High Averages, as well as all the 
special events, were won by users of “steel where steel belongs ” ammunition.

Rutherford G. C 
The Rutherford Gun Club, of Rutherford, Pa., a 
suburb of Harrisburg, Pa., held an interesting shoot on 
50 targets per man for the national sportsman’s silver 
cup. This attracted a number of shooters to participate 
in this contest. C. N. Miller and Geo. L. Sarvis tied 
for high honors and the trophy. In the shoot-off each 
broke straight until the 23d target, which Miller lost, 
thus awarding the cup to Sarvis. Jt is very handsomely 
etched with a trapshooter, which any sportsman can 
be proud of. Second amateur honors were won by S. 
L. Conrad with 41 breaks out of his quota. This wa's 
going some. Harry Laucks, treasurer of the club, w r as 
on the job and served as coacher. The fair sex admired 
the spirited contest, and it is hoped that they will soon 
figure in these contests. Secretary G. L. Sarvis ex¬ 
tended a hearty welcome to all lovers of this sport. 
G. D. Sarvis made a remarkable score of 38 from his 
quota. Grieff, Hassler and Oliphant tied on 31, which 
shows a pretty good clip. Nagle was a close runner-up 
to-day with a score of 36 from his quota. Taking the 
whole shoot all in all, very creditable scores were re¬ 
corded throughout. About 1,500 targets were trapped 
to-day from a McCrae trap.

South [ End G. C. 
The South End Gun Club tournament, held on the 
Carsonia grounds in honor of Mr. Gibbs, of Sunny, 
Tenn., and Ed. Banks, of Wilmington, Del., was a suc¬ 
cess despite the unpleasant weather. The race was on 
a 150-target program. Bob Morris and James Hagan, 
the renowned unmatchable co-workers on the traps, 
were in charge. Gibbs made the remarkable score of 
146 from his quota. He broke 98 out of his first 100 
birds and broke straight in four events. 
Ed. Banks broke also straight in three events and 
scored 135 from his quota. Ed found some new 
acquaintances among the Reading boys, and each one 
had a glad word for him. High amateur honors were 
won by W. S. Behm, of Esterly, one of the South End 
bunch, who is hard to beat. Walter shot straight in 
the last 25-target event, landing 130 from his quota. 
Frank Gerbert was second high amateur with 127, and 
F. D. Miller third with 126. On the first 100 targets, 
Miller was high with 86 and Behm second with 85. 
Miller dropped 5 in the last 25-target event, while Behm 
broke straight. Gerbert broke 22 in each 25-target 
event. Harry Ball landed on odds of 17 in four events, 
evidently related to St. Patrick. Ball, Gerbert and 
Shultz each broke S3 out of the first 100. 
H. I. Melchior, secretary, made some remarkable 
scores to-day with his new gun. Brown stayed on the 
13 mark, but scored straight in the fourth event. Pop. 
Eshelman showed 1 some excellent skill with 109 to his 
credit from his quota. Schultz landed at the 18 mark in 
the second and fifth events. Pappy Kift couldn’t touch 
this. “Ice” shot in spirited form to-day. Behm lost but 
5 birds in his last 50. J. J. Marberger, who was sick 
for some time, was on the grounds serving as referee. 
An individual race was shot between W. S. Behm 
and H. I. Melchior, in which Behm scored 23 to 
Melchior’s 18. 
Several of the boys have obtained their licenses 
already for the gunning season.

Cleveland G. C. 
Cleveland,^ O., Sept. 13.—The regular weekly club 
shoot of the Cleveland Gun Club was held to-day at 
Shooting Park, Mayfield road, stop 16A. Twenty shoot¬ 
ers participated, and a spirited contest was the result. 
Dr. Brown was high gun, breaking 94 out of 100. Wil¬ 
liams was the next on the score board with 92, which 
kept the Doctor on the lookout. A number of new 
faces appeared at the traps in the last two shoots, and 
it is hoped that the fever will be kept up. Messrs. 
Rogers and Upson are home again from across the water, 
but they have not got down to breaking targets yet, as 
the target game has been almost forgotten by them for 
the last four or five months. But they will get trotting 
soo-n, and when they get agoing the bunch will have 
something to do.
