Spring Valley Shooting Association. 
Reading, Pa., Jan. 11.—In the third event, a miss- 
and-out, 5-bird limit, Lee Wertz, Fred Wertz and Eisen- 
houer killed straight. The fast birds and cloudy day 
kept the shooters guessing. Harry Coldren, an old-timer 
at this game, fell shy. 
The annual 20-bird handicap of the Spring Valley 
-Shooting Association will be held on Saturday, Feb. 8 . 
A large attendance is anticipated. For particulars address 
E. H. Adams, 1805 Perkiomen avenue, Reading, Pa. 
jManager Charles Hass, of the Rlandon Rod and Gun 
Club, announced a 15-bird' handicap, entrance $8 and $9; 
7-bird, $4 entrance introductory on Saturday, Jan. 25, on 
the grounds of the Blandon Rod and Gun Club. 
Harry Ball, E. H. Adams and W. S. Behm are 
scheduled to shoot at the Midwinter Handicap at Pine- 
hurst, N. C., Jan. 22-25. Something doing, boys, when 
their old-time coacher, H. I. Melchior, has charge of 
this trio. Oh, gee, look at that “Hass-a-peffer.” Walter 
says this is like kissing' a pretty girl—the more you get 
the more you want. Scores:

Cincinnati Gun Club. 
The team match, which was the feature of the weekly 
shoot on Jan. 12. was won by the team of the Northern 
Kentucky Gun Club, with a margin of 13 targets. Capt. 
G. W. Dameron, of the winning team, made high indi¬ 
vidual score, 93; Flammerschmidt, of the opposing team, 
being his nearest competitor, with 89. The Northerns 
took the lead in the first round at 20 targets, and in¬ 
creased their advantage in each round until the last 20 , 
when the Cincinnati team beat them by 2 targets. The 
leturn match will be shot on the Northern’s ground as 
soon as the high water will permit. 
W. R. Chamberlain, of Columlnis, was among the 
visitors, and tied for second high score with R. L. 
Trimble, the local e.xpert, on 91 in the regular events. 
The flood prevented W. R, Randall, of Mason, a member 
of the Cincinnati team, from reaching the grounds, and 
his place was taken by Supt. Arthur Gambell. The 
latter was not in his best form, or the story might have 
had a different ending, at least the teams would have 
finished nearer together. Dameron shot well up to his 
usual gait, missing only one target in the last CO. 
The new Westwood Gun Club was represented by 
J. -Schneider, A. C. Kuball, M. Stopper and J. Nocheck, 
all of whom took part in several of the events, although 
they arrived at the grounds late in the afternoon. L. J. 
Squier, of Pittsburgh, was present, and shot through the 
program, but bad luck in the first and last events kept 
his score below his usual mark. Back-water from the 
Licking River transformed the grounds into an island, 
and was still rising when the shooters left, being only 
about a foot belcw the planks of the bridge. The con¬ 
ditions were hard—poor light and cold—and this had its 
effect on many of the scores. Irwin has been doing 
much better work lately tlian he did to-day. Schreck 
has also been putting iq) scores in the 90 per cent, class 
of late, and was one of the four men to go straight in 
any one of the events to-day, but the targets were too 
much for him in the last three events, and lie dropped. 
A. Sundy couldn’t connect, as he did at Dayton on 
New Year’s Day, and finished several targets below the 
mark that was expected of him.

E^igene Gun Club. 
Eugene, Ore., Jan. 3. —To-day was very blustery and 
cold, some snow in the air, but ten of the boys would 
not be denied, and spent a very pleasant afternoon at 
the club grounds. Moullen was high man with 96 to 
his credit, which is sure going some, taking into con¬ 
sideration the weather conditions. After the regular 
100 birds, Moullen and McCormack chose sides and 
shot for the ‘Supper which was won by the McCormack 
squad, although they finished in the dark. 
At 7:30 this evening, pursuant to call, a meeting 
was held at the club rooms, and the Oregon State 
Sportsmen’s Association w'as organized, and from the 
intrest shown, there is no doubt but wdiat it will be a 
success. 
Dr. F. M. Oa}^ of Eugene Gun Club, was chosen 
President; F. 1^. Tracey, of Albany Gun Club, \ ice- 
President; E. A. Bean, of Eugene Gun Club, Secre¬ 
tary-treasurer. The Board of Directors are: M. Abra¬ 
ham, of Portland Gun Club; A. B. Weatherford, of 
Albany Gun Club; W’m. Beagle, of Ontario Gun Club; 
C. P, Murphy, of Baker Gun Club; Dr. E. R. Seely, 
of Medford Gun Club, and Ira Johnson, of Coquille 
Rod and Gun Club. Eugene w^as selected as the place 
for holding the first annual tournament, under the 
auspices of the Eugene Gun Club, and as the boys here 
have the reputation of doing things about right, every 
lover of the game can be assured of a good time. The
