Trapshooters’ League to Promote the Sport. 
Patterning after the Philadelphia Trapshooters’ League, 
which has done much to foster an interest in trap¬ 
shooting in the vicinity of that city, the Orange Gun 
Club, the Smith Gun Club, the Little Falls Gun 
Club and the Jersey City Gun Club have formed 
the North Jersey Trapshooters’ I.eague, and have 
arranged a schedule of matches for this month, 
March and April. The teams will contest for 
a trophy put up by the Du Pont Company, and the 
five high members of the winning team will each re¬ 
ceive a watch fob, also put up by the same concern. It 
is expected that the formation of the league will stimu¬ 
late a new interest in the sport in northern New Tersey. 
The first match will take place on February 21st and 
the last on April 18th. On each Saturday afternoon 
selected for a match there will be two contests, three 
Saturdays in all being set aside. On February 21st 
Orange and Jersey City will shoot at Orange while 
Little Falls and Smith are competing- at the Smith 
traps, in Newark. 
The next meet will be on March 21st, when Orange 
will shoot Little Falls at Little Falls and Smith will 
contest with Jersey City at Jersey City. Smith and 
Orange will come together at Orange on April 18th, 
the same day that Little Falls will be the scene of 
the match between the team of that place and Jersev 
City. 
The arrangement made between the representatives of 
the clubs in the league provide that all members of 
each club are eligible to compete, but only the five 
highest scores of any one team shall count. as the 
team total. The winning team in each match is to be 
credited with two points and the loser with one point. 
The arrangements for the league matches were made 
at a meeting on Friday night, at which the Smith 
Club was represented by Harry Higgs; Orange by 
Merrick R. Baldwin; Jersey City, by Richard Young, 
and Little Falls, by William Kussmaul. 
White Plains Gun Club. 
Eighteen shooters faced the trap at the White Plains 
Gun Club’s regular shoot held at the Gedney Farms 
Hotel, White Plains, on Saturday afternoon, February 
7th. A stiff north-east wind was blowing across the 
traps and kept the shooters busy trying to find the 
targets which at times were very difficult to hit. 
T. H. Lawrence was high gun for the day with 76, 
Dr. G. H. Martin and Tom Davis tied for second 
honors with 74 each, while Pop Ward took third 
place with 69. 
Mrs. F. F. Rodgers, one of our new members, won 
a leg on the Martin Trophy open to lady competitors. 
Her score was 48. Another lady shooter, Mrs. June 
Haughton, did remarkably well for a beginner as she 
btoke 11 targets out of a t otal of 25. This club has 
the unique distinction of having five lady shooters com¬ 
peting at their traps and expect to see very close scores 
in the competition for the Martin Trophy before the 
season is finished. 
After the shoot was over, a meeting of the club 
was held and J. H. Finch cf_ Greenwich was elected 
field captain and Dr. C. F. Healey was elected as a 
member of the board of governors to fill the vacancy 
caused by Z. C. Offutt leaving New York. Final ar¬ 
rangements were made for the White Plains Distance 
Handicap shoot which is to be held on Thursday, Feb¬ 
ruary 12th.

At the Columbus Gun Club, Columbus, Ohio. 
For the third Saturday in succession we have had 
extremely bad weather, the heavy storm of Saturday
