the program. The contest for the trophies was a spirited 
one. In Class A, with eleven contestants, there were 
ties for both trophies; Hall, Connelly and H. W. Heikes, 
tied for first on 48; and E. Hammerschmidt and F. C.

Sunderbruck getting 24 in each, and Welch 24 and 21. 
T. J. Donald and M. H. Johnson for second on 46. It 
took two shoot-offs to decide the winner of the gold fob, 
Sunderbruck getting 24 in each, and Welch 24 and 21. 
Three times did Donald and Johnson take their places 
on the firing line before the ownership of the second 
trophy, a silver fob, was decided; in the first shoot-off 
each scored 23; in the second 22, and in the third John¬ 
son won with 24 to Donald’s 22. In Class C, no shoot¬ 
off was needed, E. C. Shafor getting the gold fob on a 
score of 47, and C. W. Ford the silver fob on 46. In the 
first 100 targets, W. H. Hall and C. A. Young, tied on 
99; H. W. Heikes, C. Smith and L. H. Gambell second 
with 96 each; Ray Gaskill and T. E. Donald third on 
94 each; H. S. Connelly, 92. Hall just missed making 
his century by dropping his 85th target, getting a run 
of 84. Following Hall among the amateurs came H. W. 
Heikes with 144; L. H. Gambell, 142, and H. S. Con¬ 
nelly, 140. Among the professionals R. L. Trimble was 
second with 137. He was suffering from an accident 
to his right arm, and did not get it limbered up until 
the third event, after which he shot in form, dropping 
but 4 targets out of the last 120. Squad No. 2, Con¬ 
nelly, H. Ertel, L. Gambell, Hammerschmidt and Ford 
carried off the palm for squad work, scoring a total of 
95 out of 100 in events 6 and 9. The office was in 
charge of L. J. Squier, assisted by Secretary Davies, and 
they did their share in making the tournament a success 
by keeping the work up to the minute, and having 
the money ready for the winners within a few minutes 
after the last squad sheet was handed in.

Princeton University Gun Club. 
The Princeton Gun Team defeated Yale on Saturday. 
May 23, in a very close and exciting shoot. At the end 
of the first half Yale led by 2 birds, but the Tigers 
showed a strong come back and pulled out the winners 
by the scant margin of one bird. Reed, of the Princeton 
team, also won the individual honors, tieing with Blake, 
of Yale, at 45. He won the shoot-off, 22 ex 25, against 
Blake’s 17 ex 25. 
W. M. Hammond, of the Hercules Powder Co., ran 
the shoot perfectly. He came over night from the Penn¬ 
sylvania State Shoot at Pittsburgh to take care of this, 
the biggest event in the college shooting world. 
Princeton now has the intercollegiate team and indi¬ 
vidual championships for the second consecutive year.

Charley Newcomb High Gun. 
Charles Newcomb, of Philadelphia, won the Pennsyl¬ 
vania State Championship with his Charles Daly single- 
barrel trap gun, making the phenomenal record of 494 
out of 500 targets, making runs of 217 and 115 straight. 
This was the highest record for either professionals or 
amateurs. 
Cleveland Gun Club. 
Cleveland, Ohio, May 24.—The weekly club shoot of 
the Cleveland Gun Club, held Saturday, May 23, was 
well attended and some good shooting was done. Al¬ 
though Grant and Judd tied for high scores with 94 
out of 100, Tobey was the trophy winner with a score 
of 82, which gave him 16 points, as his handicap was 
but 66 out of 100 to break. In the annual contest 
G. M. Weeden was high gun of the field, making a 
perfect score of 50 and breaking 143 out of 150 in both 
events, the weekly and annual. This was good work 
as Mr. Weeden is no crackerjack. May 30th the club 
will hold its May Day annual tournament, which is 
open to all, and a number of shooters are looked for, 
and those wishing a good day’s sport can have it by 
attending this shoot.
