La Crosse Gun Club. 
La Crosse, Wis., March i, 1914. 
The unfavorable weather brought out only a small 
number of gunners this morning. Eight men faced the 
traps of the La Crosse Gun Club and they envied the 
members who stayed at home. Almost zero weather 
and a violent wind, that made it seem again as cold, 
prevailed and afforded very difficult shooting, as can be 
surmised from the following scores:

Birmingham Gun Club. 
Birmingham, March 14, 1914. 
John Fletcher and John Warren tied for high average 
at the regular weekly shoot of the Birmingham Gun 
-Club, each breaking 95 out of their 100 targets shot at. 
They were closely followed by T. H. Fox and T. H. 
Keller, Jr., both professionals, who tied ior second place 
with 93 each. Jas. Hillman, H. C. Ryding, J. K. War¬ 
ren, T. II. Keller and T. H. Fox each turned in perfect 
scores of 25. H. C. Ryding made the long run of the 
day with 37 without a miss. 
Dr. T. J. Sellers is still keeping up his good work 
as his score of 92 shows. 
'Mr. T. H. Keller paid his first visit to the Birming¬ 
ham Gun Club and made a most creditable score and 
many new friends.

Larchmont Yacht Club. 
Larchmont, March 15. 
Pleasant spring weather, perfect light and little or no 
breeze made conditions so ideal for clay bird shooting 
at the Larchmont Yacht Club to-day that two new trap 
records were established during the afternoon’s com¬ 
petition. A mark of 144 out of 150 that had resisted as¬ 
saults for several seasons was the first to go, “Dan” 
McMahon and Ralph Spotts tying for the high score 
prize with a total of 145. Then in a double shoot-off 
Mr. Spotts broke 49 more clay birds out of 50, which 
made his score 194 out of 200, or five points better than 
the previous club record of 189. Incidentally, Mr. and Mc¬ 
Mahon also beat the old eight string record by three 
clay birds, his total being 192. 
Practically all of the other twelve contestants found 
conditions to their liking, and returned their best scores 
of the year. Gross scores of 25 were numerous, and so 
were ties, necessitating many shoot-offs. Mr. McMahon 
led in four events, Mr. Spotts in two, and A. L. Burns 
in the remaining two.
