Youghiogheny Country Club Shoot. 
McKeesport, Pa., March 30, 1914. 
In spite of the dark miserable day, a large number 
turned out for trap shooting at the Youghiogheny 
Country Club, Saturday afternoon. Calhoun again was 
high man, with 44 out of a possible 50. Dr. Aber, 
Wilson, Heisey and C. Byard following him closely. 
Dr. Aber with 42 and the other three men each with 
an even 40. Bert Parke showing up mighty well with 
39. Cornelius was trying out a new gun, which would 
account somewhat for low scores. Rigsby^s gun was 
giving him some trigger trouble which handicapped him 
in the shoot considerable, particularly in the doubles. 
Both traps were used and the shoot off passed quickly, 
giving plenty of time for practice both on No. 1 and 
2 traps. Doubles were easily won by Dr. Aber, get¬ 
ting 18 out of a possible 20, Dr. Heisey 16, Calhoun 13, 
Rigsby 10, and Cornelius 8. 
The scores in the regular shoot were as follows: 
J. F. Calhoun . 
Dr. Aber ... 21 
J. W. Wilson . 21 
Dr. Heisey . 20 
C. Byard . 21 
B. E. Parke . 19

The club members interested in trap shooting re¬ 
mained at the club house to supper, holding a meeting 
immediately afterward with the chairman of the house 
and grounds committee president, so as to make the 
necessary arrangements for this seasons trap shooting. 
It was decided in view of the fact that the Pitcairn 
Club has challenged representatives from McKeesport, 
for a team shoot on Saturday, April nth, that the 
Youghiogheny Country Club cancel their shoot for that 
day, so that there.shall be no interference in the way 
of'a fine attendance from this district to the Pitcairn 
shoot, it being understood, and the arrangement is be- 
in,, made by J. F. Calhoun that the McKeesport shoot¬ 
ers challenge' the Pitcairn Club to a return match, 
to be held on the grounds of the Youghiogheny 
Country Club. Saturday afternoon. May 2nd. This 
will be a fine attraction, and certainly should in¬ 
sure a large number of shooters and spectators to the 
May 2nd shoot. It was decided to hold four mer¬ 
chandise shoots, the first to be on Tuesday. April 
14th, second, Tuesday. May 19th, third, Tuesday, June 
23rd, fourth and finals, Tuesday, July 21st. The four 
shoots to be 50 bird events, three class system, the two 
high scores in each class qualifying, and the finals a 
100 bird test in each class, the first and second man 
in each class receiving a merchandise prize. Tt was de¬ 
cided that the same general system for the regular 
Saturday shoots, be adopted as they used last year at the 
club, with the exception that at each so bird event, 
the two high scores in each class qualify instead of only 
one man in each class, and that at the shoot off at 
the end of the season, that a first and second prize be 
given in each of the three classes. By this method 
a much larger number will be in the final shoot off at 
the end of the season. These Saturday events will start 
with Saturday, May 2nd, and close with Saturday, 
October 24th. This will not close the season as there 
will be shoots on Saturday, November 14th, Thursday, 
November 26th, Thanksgiving Day, and on Saturday, 
Dec. 26th, and special events will be arranged for those 
dates, but they were omitted in the regular series, as it 
was thought that a good many shooters would be in the 
field November 14th, due to the season having opened, 
and the dates along with Thanksgiving Day, and so 
near Christmas Day. would have a good many who on 
account of the holiday season might not be able to be 
present. 
At each of the Saturday shoots there will be a con¬ 
test for doubles this year. Tt will be a twelve pair 
shoot instead of 25 as arranged last year and instead of 
there being only one prize, there will be a first and sec¬ 
ond prize given to the men who stand first and second 
in the greatest number of shoots for doubles that are 
held. If there are enough at the Tuesday merchandise 
shoots who care to shoot doubles, an arrangement will 
be made for a contest for doubles on these week day 
afternoons, as well as at the Saturday events. 
A neat folder will be given out shortly, and mailed to 
all shooters in this district, outlining the nature of the 
shoots to be held and the days of the several events. 
Throughout the regular Saturday 50 bird shoots there 
will be run a club contest and a first and second prize 
to be given. This will be conducted in such a way 
that it will not in any way interfere with the open shoots 
to which all are invited and will be made most welcome. 
WM. A. CORNELIUS, Secretary. 
Du Pont Gun Club. 
Wilmington, Delaware, March 28, 1914. 
A special meeting and smoker was held bv the D11 
Pont Trapshooting Club tonight in the auditorium of 
the Du Pont Hotel. About 100 members attended, and 
the session was a most interesting one. Reports of J 
S. Grant, treasurer, and of T. S. Chalfant, manager and 
cashier of the club were read. Speeches and talks were 
made by T. E. Doremus, vice-president of the club. C. 
Thorpe Martin, Dr. Horace Betts, president of. the Dela¬ 
ware State Sportsmen’s Association, Dr. Willis Linn. 
Harry Carlon. Wm. Highfield, John Minnick. Walter 
Tomlinson and others. 
A suggestion was made that there be a standing com¬ 
mittee of five members to be appointed by the chair¬ 
man of the meeting, T. E. Doremus, to confer from 
time to time with the Executive Committee of the club 
and assist the latter committee in handling the affairs 
of the club. This suggestion was made by Mr. Carlon, 
and was enthusiastically received by all. Another sug¬ 
gestion which was acted favorably upon was one made 
by Dr. Betts, who advanced the idea of a committee 
of three of the most active members of the club to be 
known as “The Handicap Committee.” The duty of 
this committee will be to ascertain and make certain 
that all members receive just and equitable handicaps. 
The workings of these two new committees will re¬ 
lieve the present club management of a lot of ardu¬ 
ous duties, and should tend to made the club more 
popular than ever. 
For three years the club has been charging members 
for targets at the rate of 15 cents for 25 or 60 cents per 
100, or cheaper than at any other club in existence. 
This has proven a losing game for the club, and it w„ 
decided to hereafter charge 20 cents for 23 targets, or 
80 cents per 100. The adoption of a club button, and 
several other matters were discussed, and will come up 
for more serious thought later on. It is planned to 
have club meetings oftener in the future, as, from inter¬ 
est shown and results obtained tonight they are an 
excellent feature.

Nine of ’em toed the score today and the appended 
scores show the Hamilton Club 'dinner didn’t affect 
the nerves of any of them; though there was an ab¬ 
sence—that of Brother Camp. C. D. Sayre was then 
with the eye, getting three out of five events, i. e., a 
limb on Monthly Cup, with a full from a gratis start 
of three; President’s Cup with 98 from an elevation of 
ten and Sayre Cup with 93 from the same unbroken 
lift. Take Home Trophy slipped into the maw of h. 
H. Lott with the cracking fine destroyal of 90 from 
scratch. The Du Pont Trophy passed "under the wire

ahead of Mr. Lott.

Nothing New in Jersey Championship. 
Eienen guten schutzen kann mann nicht uberwinden 
—that’s what a chap on the side lines said about 
Edward von Kattengell, when he hung his photograph 
for the second time on the frame of the New Jersey 
State Championship—this repetition stuff reminds us 
a lot of the Delaware lay out with 24, 22, 24 and a full, 
totaling 95. Von put it over one of Jersey’s best. 
Charles Day by four aerosaucers. In the team match 
the Riversides, among whom were the Jersey champ, C. 
W. Billings, than whom there are few better. B. M. 
Shanley, a regular high gun Jersey shooter, and some 
more good ones. ’Ole Al. Ivins got away with high 
individual score, reducing to dust 47 out of his fifty 
pulls. Just before closing it might be well to men¬ 
tion that the J. C. was a tie and that on the shoot off 
Von clicked off his 25 with nary a miss, while Day 
allowed three scalers to proceed to a grassy grave, un¬ 
touched.

White Plains Gun Club. 
White Plains, April 4, 1914. 
The well nigh invincible Miss Jessie Thorpe, tied two 
good ones today for the Du Pont Trophy and then 
just naturally went to the one hundred bird handicap 
and put it all over the mere men, getting 95 from 22 
unpulled—some day we will get a good photograph 
of Miss Jessie, which thus far we have not. She is 
a pretty little lady, with rosy cheeks, showing what 
the great outdoors will do for you or one. Dr. Currie 
finally stole away with the event just because, Miss 
Jessie wasn’t militant and, besides, he got 97. 
IT. O. Allyn. one of those hard to beaters, kopped the 
Below the Elbow event with 22 down and three to 
play. In the final on ten pairs T. FI. Lawrence and 
A. J. McManus tied at ten. They will shoot the event

i'he big event here today was a team shoot between

Things were pretty well divided here today—allow¬

New York Athletic Club. 
Pelham Manor, April 4, 1914. 
Anyone who alleges that trap shooting is not the 
king of outdoor sports at Traver’s Island may take 
what condolence they can get from the entry list of 
today—thirty-five gentlemen, count them, and every one 
a pretty classy shooter. First of all there was a team 
race in which the homer’s ripped holes below the water 
line of the incomers, in less vernacular lingo, the 
Seasides of Bridgeport, succumbed to the Villas of Mer¬ 
cury fleet. High gun for New York Athletic Club was 
—no—not Spotts—that’s the time I fooled ya—a gentle¬ 
man named Oakwood—whence came he—perhaps he 
knows a little dog about so high—and perhaps he 
doesn’t—but at any rate he was there with all wool 
in wet weather. Plis wreckage was 83 out of an un¬ 
bloomed century. FTigh for the Connecticut gentry 
was L. C. Wilson who hung four bunches of dust on 
Mr. Oakwood, his smearing showing on the board at 
87. This same Oakwood, won the major portion of the 
regular program, raisingkell with a limb on Club Cup, 
Traver’s Island Trophy; ein hundert scratch and a sec¬ 
ond special event. C. W. Berner put the cleaner on 
the bunch in the Monthly Club Event, R. R. De- 
bacher liquidated the Accumulation pull, and P. P. 
Senior, we also plead ignorance on the gentleman’s 
family trap tree, got the first special event, getting a 
spade full from a draw of three discs.
