Meadow Springs Wins Shoot Off. 
Camden, N. J., Jan. 11.—The disputed Meadow 
Springs-Camden Shooting Association Trapshooters’ 
League match shot on Dec. 7 and won by the latter by 
425 to 417, then ordered shot over again by the Board 
of Directors, was decided here today. Two men from 
each team shot the event, this being one less than those 
eligible. Meadow Springs won, Letford and Christman 
breaking 43 and 42, while Lippincott and Dungan broke 
39 and 35. 
The scores made by the Meadow Springs were higher 
than the two low men who made the team match on 
Dec. 7, while the totals registered by the two Camden 
men fell below the marks made by their lowest scorers 
on that day. This enabled Meadow Springs to add 
3 targets to their total of 417, made in the December 
match, giving them 426, and as the Camden score of 
last month only amounted to 425, the West Philadel¬ 
phians captured the match. 
This causes a general shift in the standings of cer¬ 
tain clubs in the league race. Meadow Springs has a 
point added to their total, giving them 5 scored to date, 
and increases their target breakage to 1313. Camden 
loses a point by going down to defeat, giving them a 
total of 3 scored, but their broken targets, 1241, re¬ 
mains the same, for they failed to better their score 
of last month by to-day’s effort. 
This ties Meadow Springs with Highland and Lans- 
dale for second place and drops Camden to a tie with 
Clearview and Glen Willow for tail end position. The 
present standing follows:

Independent Gun Club. 
Philadelphia, Pa.. .Tan. 11.—Howard M’ilson, of 
Prankford, won the principal trophy at the Independent 
Iiun Club monthly shoot over the Keystone traps at 
Holmesburg .1 unction to-day. On the main program, 
y'ilson. Dr. I'. \\’. Mathews, Betson, C. IT. Newcomb, 
Thos. Tansey, Keenan. J. ’.B. Fontaine and W. IT. 
Mathews tied with full scores. In the first shoot-off 
Betson, Tansey and W. FI. Mathews were eliminated, 
and on the second Keenan and Newcomb passed the 
bunch. The third eradicated Fontaine, leaving Wilson 
and F. W’. Matthews to go to it. Wilson had a handicap 
of 1% targets, and Mathews 1. The race in the fog and 
settling dusk was balanced well. At the end of the 25 
targets, each had broken 22 , which gave the prize to 
Wilson on his handicap of % target. 
The silver spoon for the best net went to Chas. IT. 
Newcomb with 96, one better than Jesse Griffith, who 
won the runner-up dipper after being tied with Eyre. 
The spoon for Class B was captured by Benjamin Deist, 
while Edmund T. Rumble added another spoon to his 
collection of silver by getting booby prize in Class C. 
Tn addition to the regular shoot, Isaac W. Budd 
put up a special trophy for a aO-targe*^ event to the 
shooter coming nearest to a score that was kept secret 
until the shoot was over. This proved to be 39, and 
Harvey IViley was the successful one by just making 
the necessary total. 
Clarence Hand equaled the year’s score with J. B. 
I'ontaine by winning their dual race yesterday by just 
one bird, Fontaine having led his side at the last League 
shoot. It was quite some feat even to win by the single 
target, as Hand had to shoot from the ISyd. mark, while 
Fontaine stood at 16yds. Scores:

Larchmont Y. C. 
I.ARCHMONT, N. Y., Jan. 11.—A 30-mile-an-hour 
breeze makes an uneven cradle for clay saucers, so scores 
made here to-day are most creditable. Geo. W'. Maxwell 
broke 123 out of 150. Billy Heer, H. D. Gibbs and C. 
Williams were other trade representatives present. 
T. J. McCahill carried off the honors. He got the 
leg for the monthly cup with a full score of 25; also, the 
S])ecial trophy match with 25, and the accumulation cup 
contest with another full score. Ralph L. Spotts was 
high gun in the 150-target scratch contest with 127 
broken targets. B. M. Higginson, of the New York 
Athletic Club, broke 132, but this prize was for mem¬ 
bers only. ITigginsqn was the winner of the 15-target 
scratcli event, and he also captured the take-home trophy 
at 25 targets with a score of 22. 
A Whiting won the visitors’ trophy, after a shoot-oflf 
with Dr. L. Culver, and he also won the 100-target han¬ 
dicap match with a score of 93. The special take-home 
trophy was won by A. L. Bruns, and M. K. Waters 
carried off the 10 -target scratch prize.

Crescent A. C. 
Bay Ridge, N. Y., Jan. 11.—J. F. James shot a great 
gun to-day, .getting 92 out of 100 from scratch, which, 
under hazy conditions, was exceptionally good. In addi¬ 
tion to take-home trophy, he tied W. W. Pell for Remsen 
cup. G. G. Stephenson, Jr., won committee cup with 
45 from 6 graft rocks, and monthly cup with 24 from 
3 handouts. C. R. James trophy limb was lopped off 
by F. S. Hyatt with 46 from a couple duly presented 
him. Two brilliants were present from the helping- 
hand firmament—R. O. Heikes, who broke 94, and E. S. 
Graham, an amateur when he won Olympic champion¬ 
ship last year, now saying nice things for Flercules. 
Mr. Graham put the blinds on Rollo in two events. 
Mathematically calculated, this would be two-fifths of

The day was an ideal one for trapshooting, except 
for a light wind. Our best shooters do not come out 
often during the winter so the scores are not a sample 
of the shooting that can be done by the Birmingham 
Gun Club regulars. T. K. Lee is a beginner at the 
trapshooting game, though a veteran with the rifle.
