Herron Hill Gun Club. 
Pittsburgh, May 5, 1914- 
Rain hindered but did not mar the opening monthly 
tournament of the Western Pennsylvania Trap Shoot¬ 
ers’ League, which was staged on the Davis Island 
range of the Herron Hill Gun Club on the first Tues¬ 
day in the month of May. The shoot was gotten un¬ 
der way in the rain, which fell until noon, but 91 
gunners from Pittsburgh and surrounding towns shot 
clear through the program of 150 clay birds. This is 
10 less than attended the opening shoot at Browns¬ 
ville last year, but considering the weather, the start 
was an auspicious one. The afternoon was better for 
sport at the traps, and some shooters who started 
poorly finished strong. 
Tuesday’s event brought out a representative crowd 
from the clubs affiliated with the league, and the shoot¬ 
ers included both young and old veterans and novice, 
good, bad and indifferent gunners. 
High individual honors of the day went to Norwood 
Johnston of the Herron Hill Club, who broke 144 
clays out of the day’s string, losing only six. He was 
pressed close by D. E. Hickey, who also shot con¬ 
sistently and scored 143 breaks. G. E. Painter and 
George Cochran were up among the leaders with 142 
each, closely followed by Bennett, Dickerman, King, 
Heisey, Lautenslager, West and Matthews. 
HERRON HILL TEAM WINS. 
Gunners of the Herron Hill Club got away to a fly¬ 
ing start in the team race, three of them landing up 
among the leaders. As the three best scores made 
by the gunners of any one club constitute that club’s 
record for the shoot, the Herron Hill bunch were able 
to count Johnston’s total of 144, the Cochran and 
Painter strings of 142, for a total of 428 birds. 
A trio from the McKeesport Gun Club landed sec¬ 
ond place ; n the team contest. Heisey with 139, Aber 
with 134 and Calhoun with 131 totaled 404 birds. The 
Butler Rod and Gun Club got third,'through the shoot¬ 
ing of Pearsom. 131; Elliott, 130, and Purvis, 129; total¬ 
ing 390. The Canonsburg crew were beaten by just 
two points for the third position, as Matthews with 
138, Anthony with 131 and Beck with 119 counted 388 
breaks. 
The event went off smoothly, as three traps were in¬ 
stalled and there was no delay. The shooting done 
indicates that a good percentage of the veterans are 
shooting at their usual gait and some of the newcomers 
will make bids for positions before the seasons ends. 
Under the Lewis Class System, which governs the 
league’s five monthly tournament, there were four squads 
of money-winners. The shooters classified themselves 
according to their scores, and the leaders in four 
equal divisions split up the four equal shares of the 
prize money. 
THE MONEY WINNERS. 
Class A winners were Johnston, Hickey, Painter, 
Cochran and Bennett. 
Those sharing in the Class B spoils, in which many 
ties occurred, were Pearsom, Anthony, Lang, Calhoun, 
Hahn, Miller, Rigsby, Elliott, Purvis, Anderson and B. 
B. Thompson. 
Class C winners were Coates, C. Kochendorfer, J. H. 
McMeans, R. J. Gumbert, Schuyler, Morrison, Duffy, 
J. Lawson and J. M. Linhart. 
Hubbs, Scott, England, Wilson, G., Thompson and 
Brabson divided Class D coin. 
Carl Moore, of Brownsville, led the professional gun¬ 
ners at the traps and made the high score of the day, 
breaking 145 birds, one more than the high amateur’s 
string. L. W. Cumberland had 142 and L. J. Squier 139.

Delaware State Championship. 
Wilmington, Del., May 9, 1914. 
Bv E. R. GALVIN. 
Shooting in the form that has long marked him as 
one of the best amateur trapshooters in the country, 
Alden B. Richardson of Dover, Del., yesterday de¬ 
feated seven of the classiest blue rock busters in the 
Delaware State Championship Cup. 
country in a contest for the final ownership of the 
Delaware Open State Championship trophy. He made 
the phenomenal score of 98 out of 100. 
The history of the cup is replete with stories of 
many hard-fought battles over the traps for temporary 
possession of the prize, and being a challenge affair 
and open to both amateur and professional shooters 
has been the center of interest ever since the DuPont 
Club was formed. 
The eight men who competed for the trophy, a 
sterling silver prize, were those who have won it since 
it was placed in competition several years ago- The 
affair yesterday was arranged in order that the final 
winner be determined and the trophy awarded to him. 
Mr. Richardson, who, by the way, has been shoot¬ 
ing a remarkable clip of late, never showed to better 
advantage than yesterday. In addition, “Del” shot 
under disadvantages which would discourage the aver¬ 
age shooter. He competed in the match with a new 
gun which he had not previously had an opportunity 
of giving a tryout. 
In practice he broke fifty straight, which evidently 
convinced him that the gun was all right, and also 
that the man behind it was going pretty good, for ir. 
the match for the championship he distanced his 
nearest competitor, W. S. Colfax, Jr., by four targets. 
The score in detail follows:

Tuum Est! 
A little pinewood cabin 
Set where the sage-brush grows, 
Ten billion heights of sunshine, 
A tinted prairie rose, 
And stars!—stars!—stars!— 
Stars when the day is done; 
Silence and stars and the fragrance of life 
Where the prairie breezes run. 
A simple pine tree doorstep 
Set on the virgin sod, 
The curlew’s plaintive calling, 
The grasses’ graceful nod. 
And clouds!—clouds!—clouds!— 
Cloud castles in the blue; 
Sunshine and clouds and a promise of rain, 
And the coolness of the dew. 
A humble homestead cottage 
Set where the cactus blooms. 
Afar on snow-swept summits 
Jove’s mighty summons booms; 
And wind!—wind!—wind!— 
Breath of the whirlwind globe. 
Stars and clouds and wind and sun— 
Who covets the ermined robe?
