At the shoot on Jan. 20, Ralph Trimble, the well- 
known local professional, was high gun with a score of 
92. The weather was of the late October brand, but a 
stiff breeze made the- flight of the targets very erratic, 
and some of the contestants *'ailed to shoot their usual 
clip. Hammerschmidt was high amateur on a score of 
91, tying with K. H. Bruns, of Brookville, Ind., who 
visited the grounds the week previous. John Schreck 
came next with 9U, and was one.of the two shooters who 
went straight in any of the five 20-target events. 
In a race between Arthur Gambell and R. Davies, 
the former won with 23 to 20 out of 25 targets. Ertel 
and Gardner also shot a friendly match at 25 targets, the 
h<rmer winning with 20 to 19. Several team matches 
were shot late in the afternoon, A. Gambell and Ike 
defeating Davies and Schreck by one target. In the 
three-man team match, Hammerschmidt and L. Gambell 
won with 8 targets to the good over Ike and A. Gambell, 
and 7 ahead of Davies and Schreck. The only straight 
25 of the day was made in this contest by L. Gambell. 
At the shoot on Jan. 19, Bruns and Medico^ were de¬ 
feated by Hammerschmidt and Schreck, 74 to 71. From 
18yds. Bruns broke 67 out of 75. Irwin 42, and Flam- 
merschmidt 45 out of 50; and Medico 20 out of 25. Shoot¬ 
ing at 13 pairs of doubles, Schreck broke 17, Bruns 16 
and Hammerschmidt 13. 
The first of the intercity ten-man team matches be¬ 
tween Cincinnati, Dayton and Springfield will probably 
be shot on the N. C. R. Gun Club’s grounds, at Dayton, 
on Feb. 22, when the dates for the following matches will 
be arranged. The return match between the Cincinnati 
and Northern Kentucky clubs will be shot at the latter’s 
grounds on Feb.

Jersey City, N. J., Jan. 25.—This was another ideal 
day for trapshooting, there being no wind at all to 
disturb the even flight of targets, and the day was good 
and bright. But with conditions so favorable, the scores 
should have bee:.; better than they were. Geo. Piercy 
was high gun again to-day with an average of 86 per 
cent.—the only shooter to finish better than 80 per cent. 
Kent, a new member, and with an experience of only 
a couple of months at the game, finished second with 
79 per cent. Lawton won a spoon after shooting off 
with Tewes in one event, and in the only other prize 
event W'indisch won with a full score, counting his 
handicap. The scores:

ing. Harry W’entzel missed his last bird, scoring 10 
kills, receiving fourth money alone. 
In the miss-and-out event “Ice” missed his first 
bird, Haas, Marberger and Fry their second, Adams, 
W’entzel and Frank Wertz their third bird. Fred W'ertz 
missed his fourth, when A. Scbmoyer and Lee Wertz 
divided the purse, each receiving $5 in this race. 
The birds were all good, heavy-feathered, strong, 
healthy, fast fliers, which made them hard shooting. 
IMtich credit should be given the boys in this race. 
A. K. Ludwig, of Reading, had charge of the office, 
which was assigned to him by Manager Charles Haas. 
Howard Wertz, of Temple, who generally has charge of 
the traps at the Hercules Gun Club tournaments, served 
as referee in the 15-bird handicap. 
A number of the boys expect to go to Harrisburg to 
attend the 20 live-bird race for the Harrisburg trophy 
on Feb. 22. In 1910 Lee Wertz won this trophy with a 
straight score. The scores of to-day follow: 
Event No. 1. 15 live birds, $8 entrance.—C. B. Prutz- 
man (28) 11, Charles Haas (29) 13, J. J. Marberger (29)

Blandon Rod and Gun Club. 
Blandon, Pa., Jan. 25. — The live-bird shoot held here 
under the auspices of the Blandon Rod and Gun Club, 
under the management of Charles Haas, was a great 
success. Several of the boys had gone to Pottstown, 
where also another live-bird shoot was held. The 
weather was fine, a regular spring—but no bluebirds to 
hum the regular spring welcome. 
Twelve competitors entered the 15-bird handicap race 
with an $8 entrance. Birds were rated at 35 cents per 
pair. In this event Charles Haas, J. J. Marberger, i£. 
H. Adams, Lee W’ertz and Fred W’ertz tied for first 
honors. Fred W’ertz was the last man who had a whack 
at 14 kills, but he missed his 13th bird, when a number 
of goo-goo eyes passed along the line whi’e he missed 
this bird, so each received $5.15 as high man. Second 
high honors went to A. Schmoyer, Frank W’ertz and 
‘‘Ice,’’ with 12 kills, each receiving $6.40. 
C. B. Prutzman lost his four first birds and killed 
the rest straight. It’s always well to have a good end- 
Siwanoy—Orange. 
Orange, N. J., Jan. 25.—With not their strongest 
team at the scores Siwanoy Country Club got a mauling 
from Orange to-day, some ten targets separating the 
teams. High man for the day was split by Colquitt 
and Mosler, of Orange, and Guggenheim, of Siwanoy. 
The Mt. Vernon aggregation had two 17s recorded, 
and generally speaking, the entire team went bad. The 
scores: 
Orange—Colquitt 24, Mosler 24. Geiger 23, Unger 22. 
Thompson 22. Dukes 22, Yeomans 22, Wakeley 20, Lock- 
wood IS, Rockwell 17. 
Siwanoy — Guggenheim 24, \'alentine 20, Pelham 22. 
Wiley 20. Yates"l9, Haas 19, Smith 17, Curry 17. 
Practice scores were: Haas, 14, 20; Willey, 19, 19; 
Curry, 16, 18; Yates, 23, 19; Valentine, 18, 20; Guggen¬ 
heim, 24; Pelham, 22, 22; Smith, 14, 13; Unger, 24; Col¬ 
quitt. 25; Dukes, 14. 
In a 15-bird shoot Yates, Guggenheim, Pelham, of 
Siwanoy, and Unger, Colquitt, Geiger and Yeomans 
were all tied with a score of 14.
