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. 25.—This was the most dis¬ 
agreeable day at the Jersy City Gun Club we have ex¬ 
perienced in several years, as it rained hard all day 
without any intermission at ail, and the net result was 
the smallest attendance we have had in many moons. 
George Piercy was high for the day with 89 per cent., 
which was first class work, considering the conditions. 
Dr. Ittner came late, but all in time to get second 
honors with 80 per cent. John Hetherington, Jr., is 
coming along finely, and is going to be one of our best 
bets before long. By eliminating a little hard luck to¬ 
day, which butted in just at the wrong time, Jack would 
have been up near the top. 
Williams and Dixon shot a couple of 25-bird matches, 
each winning one. O’Brien was out for the first time 
this season, as it was too moist for his week-end trip 
to the country. The scores follow in strings of 25:

Camden Shooting Association. 
Camden, N. J., Oct. 25.— We did not start to shoot 
off the program until 1:30 P. M., as it was raining all 
morning. Had quite a shoot in the morning from our 
porch—about 800 rocks. This shoot was postponed at 
12 M., but some of the amateurs insisted on shooting the 
program. Scores:

Dm Pont Gun Club. 
Wilmington, Del., Oct. 25.—J. B. McHugh was 
Hammondized here to-dav, thereby losing all interest, 
r:ght and title to the_ Delaware State championship. 
W ard Hammond, shooting an old powder under a new 
name, rode him out of possession without a wail or a 
lonesome whine, but not until he had won in a shoot-off. 
The score on the 100 was 93 each. On the shoot-off 
Hammond broke 25 straight, while McHugh dropped two 
of his quota. It was one of the best events ever pulled, 
and that’s going some—for this much comoeted trophy. 
In the first string of 25 McHugh broke 24 and Ham¬ 
mond 21. On the second string McHugh broke 23 and 
Hammond 24. Thus at the 50-target mark McHugh had 
47 to 45 for Hammond. On the third string Hammond 
broke 24, while McHugh missed 4, this making his score 
21. At this stage of the contest, Hammond had a total 
for the 75 shot at of 69. while that of McHugh was 68. 
On the fourth string McHugh pulled himself together 
with 25 straight, while Hammond scored 24. 
Any one wanting a crack at the D. S. C. has only 
to ring W. II.’s doorbell. 
The Connable cup contest had an entry list of twenty- 
five shooters, resulting in a tie between H. W. Bush, 
shooting from 22 yds., and H. T. Reed from 18yds. on 23. 
In the shoot-off each man broke 20, and as it was get¬ 
ting late, it was agreed to shoot the tie off a week later.

In addition 
to the

there was a good deal 
of 
shooting at targets 
from the 16yd. mark 
and some 
shooting at double targets. Good scores were made by 
McHugh, Colfax, Minnick, J. W. Cann, Dr. P. D. Guest 
and Stanley Tuchton. 
Birminghim G. C. 
Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 25.— Fourteen shooters took 
part in the regular weekly shoot of the Birmingham Gun 
Club to-dav. The wind was blowing, and the light bad, 
consequently the scores are below the average. Mr. 
House was shooting a 20-gauge, and Dr. Jourdin a 16- 
pauge, which took down their scores considerably. Harry 
Hood is shooting well for a beginner. Mrs. Garl led the 
field by a margin of 5 targets. R. H. Leland and Bon¬ 
ham tied for high professional on 83 out of 100. Charley 
Perry was shooting a new gun. Master F. Dodge, the 
mascot of the club, managed to get a little more than 
half—very good for a boy of

“Come. Mr. Merchant, blow your horn; 
It’s the proper business caper, 
And the very best way 
To make it pay 
Is with printer’s ink on paper.” 
“Come, Mr. Merchant, blow your horn; 
If you don’t, it won’t be blown. 
The people won’t flock 
To buy your stock 
If you never make it known.”
