Amateur Championship 
Genuine class was represented at the amateur trap 
championship at the New York Athletic Club at 
Traver’s Island, April 24 and 25. About 125 of America’s 
best amateurs were on the firing line while a decidedly 
classy gallery enjoyed the sport. Ralph L. Spotts, the 
pride of the East, won the championship, after a shoot 
off with one of the best gun men in this country, 
A. L. Burns of Larchmont Yacht Club. Mr. Spotts 
won also the high average prize with 373. Long run 
trophy was taken by George S. McCarthy with 78 
straight. The two man club team race was bottled up 
by Boston Athletic Club, S. W. Putnam and L. H. 
Davis each getting 182 x 200. The only other 182 was 
made by Charley Newcomb of Quakertown. Independent 
and Du Pont tied for place on 361. The five man team 
went to Independent Gun Club with 890 x 1000—New 
York Athletic Club was second, Boston trailed. Special 
trap prize went to Dr. Sauer on No. x, with 95; E. A. 
Staples, No. 2, with 92; L. H. Davis, No. 3. with 96; 
A. L. Burns, No. 4 with 98. The weather for cham¬ 
pionship was—well it was rotten. Rained all day and, 
during the afternoon a northeast wind blew the tar¬ 
gets up hill and hurled the rain into the shooters faces. 
On Friday, for the preliminaries the day was delight¬ 
ful. Winner of preliminary was won by Allen Heil 
with 185. The only lady shooter present was Miss 
Jessie Thorpe, who did well, as she usually does. The 
office was in charge of Theodore W. Baker of Hercules 
Powder Co. and his work was popular and beyond 
criticism. Paul North was in charge of traps and, we 
all know what that means.
