Score a Triumph at Famed Long Beach Club. 
The tournament of the Long Beach, N. Y., Gun Club, Sept. 25-27, attracted a big field of amateur trap 
shooters, including many of the best known clay bird smashers in the country. Mr. Barton Lewis stayed 
over in the East after the Westy Hogan shoot to attend this event, and lived up to his reputation gained 
at the 1913 Grand American, where he won the Amateur Championship of the U. S. with a score of 
195 ex 200, from 18 yds. At Long Beach, under extraordinarily difficult conditions, Mr. Lewis won:—

Jersey City G. C. 
Jersey City, N. J.. Oct. 11.- —Fifteen members were 
cut to-day at the regular Saturday shoot of the Jersey 
City Gun Club, and while the scores as a rule were 
away below what the boys usually can do, they no doubt 
were due to lack of practice, as this was the first time 
cut of several since last spring. Dixon put it all over 
the rest of us, and led the field for the day with an 
average of 90 per cent., which was doing fine for a young 
fellow. Harvey, a new member, was second with 85 
per cent. Jack Fanning, of the Du Pont Co., paid us a 
visit to-day, and renewed his acquaintance with the 
members, some of whom had almost forgotten his smiling 
face, it being so long since he had looked us up. 
Shannon was over from New York for the first time this 
season, and had it out with Kearney all afternoon, 
Kearney finally beating him out by 4 points. Hallinger 
had his ups and downs, as his scores will show. The 
scores follow, in strings of 25:

Independent G. C. 
Easton'. Pa., Oct. 11.—The Independent Gun Club 
held the last of a series of shoots for the J. Stevens 
Arms Co. trophy, and the Du Pont trophy. J. Maurer 
was the final winner of the Stevens trophy with 186 out 
of 200, handicap included. B. Wenner was winner of the 
Du Pont trophy with 186 out of 200, handicap included. 
We had the pleasure of having with us, O. Sked, of 
Wilkes-Barre, Pa., of the U. M. C. Co., and H. Beaver, 
of Slatingtoni, also W. II. Maurer, of Jersey City. Sked, 
Maurer and Heil shot a three-cornered match for the 
club’s challenge cup, each contestant shooting at 75 
rocks. The match ended in a tie with each breaking 67. 
In the shoot-off J. Maurer and Heil each broke 22 out of 
25, while Sked was only able to get 20. It being too 
dark to shoot off the tie, it was decided that Maurer and 
Heil would shoot it off at our next shoot. Below are 
the scores of to-day’s shoot. Event No. 1 was the handi¬ 
cap for Stevens trophy; No. 2, handicap for Du Pont

Next Year's G. A. H. 
Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct. 11.—The time is drawing near 
when applications for next year’s handicap tournaments, 
the Grand American Handicap included, that will be 
given by the Interstate Association, must be filed in 
order to have them considered by our directors. We 
would, therefore, suggest to gun clubs desiring any of 
said tournaments to be held under their auspices, that 
they give the matter early attention and file their ap- 
plicat'ons not later than Nov. 25.
