Larchmont, December 21, 1913. 
Ralph K. Spotts, son of Ralph L. Spotts, broke 126 
clay pigeons out of 150, and won five of the eight 
events in the Larchmont Yacht Club shoot today. Be¬ 
ginning with the December Cup shoot, Ralph, Jr. re¬ 
turned full scores in five straight events, and although 
forced into shoot-offs won them all with several points 
to spare. The boy then topped all his efforts by scor¬ 
ing 25 straight in the Accumulation Cup event for the 
only perfect score of the day. 
Thomas Lenane, Jr. and Ralph L. Spotts were the 
only other winners during the afternoon, the former 
leading in the ten and fifteen clay bird events besides 
participating in four shoot-offs, while the elder Spotts 
won the high scratch prize for the fifth time in suc¬ 
cession. Summaries:

Point Breeze Gun Club. 
Young, shooting from a 29-yard rise, did the best 
shooting of the day in the weekly live-bird events of 
the Point Breeze Gun Club, decided over the south¬ 
western shooting grounds yesterday afternoon. In the 
ten-bird event he grassed every one of his ten flyers and 
gained possession of a big, fat turkey offered for the 
high gun of the event. Then in a miss-and-out for 
another gobbler he brought to earth ten more flyerr- 
bringing him in another fine bird and giving him a 
record of twenty straight for the day. 
There was a lively shoot for second money between 
Killian, Paul and Aiman, all three ending in a tie 
with nine each. Killian and Paul missed their ninth 
birds, while Aiman, after letting his first pigeon get 
away, ran nine kills in a row. 
Three other birds were also carried away by 
victorious gunmen. Aiman and Killian, with eight kills 
each in miss-and out events, captured gobblers, while 
Biddle, with seven straight, also was awarded a bird.

Spotlight Cartridges. 
Spotlight cartridges are new and ingeniously con¬ 
trived cartridges now being manufactured by the Win¬ 
chester Repeating Arms Company. When these car¬ 
tridges are fired at a target which is too hard for 
them to penetrate, they emit a bright, sparkling flash 
about the size of a silver dollar. This flash is so bright 
that it is plainly discernible in daylight, and at night 
gives a most brilliant illumination, which is startling 
to the beholder. These cartridges are likely to become 
very popular in shooting galleries and for home amuse¬ 
ment. Thev are now in the market. 
ARCHERY 
(Continued) 
Summary of N. A. A. Mail Matches. 
Now that the mail matches, which have been so 
pleasant to us archers, are all over and done, let us 
see what the results are as concerns the individual 
competitors. Rule 4, as printed in Forest and Stream 
of Sept. 20th, said: “At the end of the season account 
will be taken of the best single scores, the best average 
scores and the greatest number of matches competed in.” 
Getting rid of the last item first, we find that Hertig 
and Elmer each competed nine times and that everyone 
else had a count less than that. What distinction may 
lie in this feature is therefore divided. 
iln computing the results in this final summary it is 
evidently better to publish the men’s events first and 
the others later, because the lists of names are so long. 
Both of the winners of highest score are Pittsburgh 
men and one had never competed in a tournament. 
In the academic mode we may say that those who 
have a score of over 600 stand Summa cum laude, those 
over 550 Magna cum laude, and those over 500 cum laude. 
Then in the York Round we get: 
Magna cum laude—(Hertig, Holmes and Taylor. 
Cum laude—Doughty. 
In the American Round: 
Summa cum laude—Holmes, Rendtorff, Hertig and 
Bishop. 
Magna cum laude—Taylor, Elmer and Nichols. 
Cum laude—Gray, Smith. Sorber and Duff. 
Many others who failed to make very high score# 
showed a steady and commendable improvement during 
the whole season. At various times recently both Hertig 
and Rendtorff have complained of ill health, and so it 
is with satisfaction that we find ourselves able to give 
each of them “606.” 
Considering averages the w-inners are not the same, 
Holmes then going ahead of Hertig in the York and 
Rendtorff ahead of Holmes in the American. 
The lists were arranged according to highest score 
because in some cases a single poor score due to bad 
weather or accidents pulled the average down unfairly. 
For instance, Wilder, with an average of 245, made one 
York Round of only 84, and yet all his other scores 
were from 241 to 309.
