Pillow Gun Club. 
Pillow, Pa., Tan. 1, 1914.—Enclosed find scores of 
the Pillow Gun Club, which constitute the New Year 
shoot. Considering the weather and the snow flurries 
and the antics the aerosaucers took, good scores re¬ 
sulted. 
The Dalmatia boys did splendid work, considering 
the difficulties they had to contend with. 
Event No. 8 constitutes the contest between Messrs. 
Bingaman-Reitz vs. Bolmer and Shaffer. This spirited 
contest was witnessed by many and brought forth cheers 
for both rivals concerned. Score—Bingaman, 21; Reitz, 
25, 46; Bohner, 20; Shaffer, 24, 44. 
Owing to the inclemency of the weather the National 
Sportsman trophy shoot was deferred until some other 
date. J. A. BINGAMAN, Secretary.
