500 blue rocks the Clearviews smashed 438, while the 
Essington team totaled 41S. Oliver and Fisher led the 
Darby delegation with 48 smashes out of their ha.f cen- 
tttry of clay skimmers, with Ehvell a close second with 47. 
W'alber was the best Riverside target getter, shat¬ 
tering 45 out of his 50, with Harper a good second 
with 44. 
Clear weather with little wind to handicap the 
marksmen was favorable to good scores, and these w'ere 
made with profusion by the gunners m the team race, 
.and also in the Clcarview’s monthly club test, which 
preceded the battle wdth the Riversides. 
In the club event Fisher and Oliver led the A men 
with 48 breaks apiece, with Ehvell holding second place 
with 47. 
Shuster led the B gunmen with 45 breaks, Green 
being second with 43 and Lee third with i'l.

Cincinnkii 1 
Gun Club. 
The members turned out 
to the shoot at the 
North- 
ern’s grounds on Feb. 9, and there was little doing at 
home. The first match in the series of tri-city team 
matches will be shot on these grounds on Washington's 
Birthday. The cities of Dayton, Springfield and Cin¬ 
cinnati will be represented. Each city can enter fifteen 
men the best ten scores to count for the team. 'Ihe 
conditions are lOO targets per man, entrance $3 per man, 
$4 of which pays for the targets and $4 constitutes a 
purse which goes to the team having the largest total 
of breaks in the three matches. The dates and places 
for the other two matches will be decided upon at the 
first contest. Professionals are not barred from a team. 
Feb. 45.—The members turned out well at the shoot 
to-day for the purpose of getting tuned up for the first 
of the tri-city team matches with Dayton and Spring- 
field, which will be held on Washington’s Birthday, 
Feb. 22. High score was made by W. R. Randall, “The 
Kid,” of Mason. Ohio, who broke 92. Capt. George W. 
J4ameron started off with perfect scores in the first 
two events, breaking 72 straight in practice and the 
regular events, and tying for second high score with A. 
Sundy, of Williamsburg, Ohio, on 90. liammerschmidt’s 
drop from the 90 per cent, class was due to the use of 
a strange gun, which cost him several targets. 
A feature of the afternoon was the return team match 
between Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. After a 
hot race, it was decided in favor of the Cincinnatis by 
one target. The Northerns had a lead of two targets 
at the close of the first round. They increased this to 
six in the second round. The Cincinnati bunch got 
busy in the third round and reduced the lead to four 
targets. At the end of the fourth round the score was 
a tie, and in the last round the home team had one the 
best of their opponents, the total score being 265 to 264. 
In the series of three matches each team has won one, 
and one was a tie. This will necessitate another match, 
which will be shot on the Northern’s grounds in the 
near future. 
In another three-man team match at 400 targets per 
man, Arthur Ganibell’s team took the lead from the 
start, and increased it in each round, defeating Davies’ 
team by 24 targets, 268 to 244. 
A five-man team match wound up the afternoon’s 
shooting, Squier’s team defeating Gambell’s by two tar¬ 
gets. 444 to 409. “Roundy” Chamberlain did not do so 
bad when it is remembered that he was using a 
strange gun; if he had his old “reliable” with him, very 
few of the targets would have reached Gambell’s “tar¬ 
get saver.” Squier started off with one down, and 
ended with one of the few straights of the afternoon, 
but hard luck in the second event kept him out of 
the PCs. Sampson tried his luck for the first since 
last summer, and .showed that he has not quite forgotten 
how to point: he will do good work for the team on 
the 22d. 
Mutt and Jeff are two members and they both 
promise to make good. Dr. Bird shot at 75 to-day—the 
first time he has been on the firing line for several 
months, and broke 49. Irwin shot a good gait in most 
of the events, but queered his chances for the 90 per 
cent, class in the first and third events. R. Davies 
settled a little dispute with Chamberlain to-day, but 
was not in good form, and the latter had the best of 
the argument. Mexico showed some of his old-time 
form, finishing close to the 90 mark. 
'Ihe first of the tri-city team matches tvith Dayton 
and Springfield, will be shot here on Washington's 
r>irthday, Feb. 22, starting promptly at 4 P. M. The 
traps will be open for practice during the forenoon, 
and if necessarv, three traps will be used, so that all 
the, shooters may be accommodated.

S. S. While G. C. 
Phtladelpiiia, Pa., Feb. 45.—The S. S. White’s 
monthly brought out thirty-seven marksmen to-day. '4'he 
usual club program called for 400 blue rocks shot at in 
relays of 25 each, handicaps added to the scores, with 
class shooting governing. Charles H. Newcomb won the 
high gun honors with 96 out of 400, winning the spoon 
for the high net score of the day. George S. McCarty 
made two straights, had one 23 and a 22. 
In the class challenge cup event Newcomb, with 49, 
took Class A. Wilson’s score of 45 won a leg on B 
trophy, McGrath had 43, and that gave him a clutch 
on the C emblem, and Stevens’ 37 was good enough for 
a dot on the D cup, 
Wilson, George, Smith, Ford, McGrath and Stevens 
tied for Sidebotham trophy. In the first shoot-off, four 
of the men dropped out, leaving Stevens and Wilson. 
On this round Stevens won. 
Jesse Griffith captured the spoon offered for the high 
net score on 50, he making 49; \\’. T. Smith won the 
dipper on the total high on 50, handicaps included, and 
Wilson landed the spoon for the best score on 75.

off a tie with Capt. C. B. Tucker, who started from the 
same handicap. Shoot-off gave Ellis 6 up. L. H. Davis 
took third with 97 from a gift of 8. J. L. Snow from 
scrateh disintegrated in the ambient atmosphere 95 alti- 
tudinous semi-sphereoids. The day was ideal for aero- 
saucer cracking—clear, warm and windless.

Feb. 45.—The club entertained several prominent trap- 
shooters at the shoot to-day, among them being L. J. 
Squier, Pittsburgh, Pa.; W. R. Chamberlain, Columbus, 
O., and O. Holaday, Ralph Trimble and R. Davies, 
local experts. High scores were impossible owing to 
the high wind, which caused the targets to duck and 
take various puzzling and unexpected flights. O. Hola¬ 
day was high man with 88, a showing' fully equal to a 
95 per cent, clip under normal weather conditions. R. 
Davies was second with 86, breaking 46 out of the last 
50 targets. Chamberlain was handicapped by the use of 
strange guns, and fell far below his average. Squier 
started out with a 20, and duplicated it in the last event, 
going out in third place. 'I'rimble was not in good form, 
as his score indicates, although the wind and strange 
grounds caused some of his misses. A. C. Kuball's 
'showing was poor for him, but is accounted for by the 
fact that he is determined to learn to shoot with both 
eyes open, and is still in the beginner’s class. The club 
members are showing much improvement, and will be 
ready to take on a few team matches with the local clubs 
bv the time ihe weatlier settles.
