Daniel Boone Gun Club. 
Marthasville, Mo., Jan. 11.—Our gun club held its 
first regular meeting of the year to-night with a large 
number of the members present, even though the weather 
was bad. This being election time, the following officers 
were elected for the year: President, H. W. Meyer; 
Vice-President, A. F. Ahmann; Treasurer, O. F. Berg; 
Secretary, J. O. Wilson; l-'ield Captain, John Mutert. 
The treasurer’s report showed the club to he in a 
prosperous _ condition, both as to membership and 
finances. So good, in fact, a reduction in annual dues 
was voted for the present year. 
During the past year ten new guns were bought by 
our club members—four Smiths, two Ithacas, one Win¬ 
chester Trap, one Winchester Automatic, and two Rem¬ 
ington Automatics. 
The new officers were requested to take the proper 
steps ,it once to secure a registered one-day tournament 
dor the late summer, an earlier date not being suitable 
lor this locality. 
In looking over our records we find there were only 
about 40.000 targets thrown over our grounds during 1912, 
and we do not know whether that is few or many for the 
first year of the gun club’s existence. 
The day was cold and rainy, with sleet on the ground. 
Only five shooters got out to the grounds to do any 
shooting. Of these, Ahmann was high as the scores, at 
50 targets, show: Ahmann 46, Lichtenberg 40, J. Mutert 
37, Meyer 32, R. Gardyne 14 out of 25. 
Jan. 18.—The following practice scores were made 
to-day. The day was pleasant, and the boys are warming 
up for a few team races with neighboring clubs in the 
near future if prospects materialize.

Capt 
Herron Hill Gun Club. 
Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 17.—Eighty trapshooters from 
this city and vicinity attended the midwinter shoot of the 
Herron Hill Gun Club, on Davis Island. Every one who 
was any one was there. 
The day was dark and the foggy rain, with rain on 
the side made shooting difficult. Darkness stopped the 
shoot after 75 birds had been pulled for each man. 
A 'nandsome silver loving cup had been put up for 
competition. Alex King won it. 
The annual meeting of the Western Pennsylvania 
Trapshooters’ League was held after the shoot. But the 
browsing in the Dutch room of the Fort Pitt was re¬ 
garded by most of the sportsmen as the big noise. It 
did prove to be the most enjoyable, for the afternoon’s 
shooting had put each worthy gun handler’s hunger on 
edge, and the waiters had a busy time of it. A tasty 
and substantial menu fitted them for the more serious 
things of the evening. 
Several matters of importance connected with the 
coming season were disposed of at the meeting. The 
League is the governing body of the sport in this sec¬ 
tion, and it, in turn, is conducted along lines laid down 
by the Interstate Association, the governing body of the 
trapshooters of the United States. The annual League 
race will again be the big event of the local season. 
Five shoots will be held at five different gun clubs one 
being run each month next summer. Prizes will be 
awarded for individual and team competition. The Lewis 
class system will be used to classify the shooters, so 
that every ma.n taking part will have an excellent chance 
to land one of the prizes. 
Carl Moore, of Brownsville, won last year’s indi¬ 
vidual championship, but he was pressed hard by other 
good men, among whom were Abner Calhoun, Painter 
and Heckman. The Camden four-man team had an easy 
thing of it in the team race, winning with little oppo¬ 
sition. Its members are Calhoun, Hickman, Rigsby and 
Abner, four sterling shots. 
Following the example of the trapshooters in this 
territory, devotees of the sport in Western Pennsylvania 
and eastern Ohio are about to form an Ohio-Pennsylvania 
Trapshooters’ League, including Youngstown, New Cas¬ 
tle, Sharon, Warren, Niles, Girard, Ellwood City and 
other towns. The new organization will be modeled 
along the lines of the local association. 
Gun clubs affiliated with the Western Pennsylvania 
Trapshooters’ League include Camden Gun Club, Vulcan 
Cun Club, Butler Rod and Gun Club, Herron Hill Gun 
Club, Charleroi Gun Club, Canonsburg Gun Club, Pitts¬ 
burgh Gun Club, Bellevernon Gun Club, Washington 
Gun Club, McKeesport Gun Club, Brownsville Rod and 
Gun Club, Tarentum Gun Club, Coraopolis Gun Club, 
Buckhorn Gun Club, United Gun Club, North End Gun 
Club, Youghiogheny Gun Club and McKees Rocks Gun 
Club. The scores made follow:
