Spring Valley Shooting Association. 
.1 he 20-bird race, held under the auspices of the 
Spring- \'alley Shooting Association on the Spring Valley 
groiinds, proved a success. The day was very cold, with 
a slight gale stirring across the field. The ground was 
covered with snow, which made the birds almost in¬ 
visible. Many a thick, heavy-feathered gamester made 
its way to the barnyard. 
In the preliminary handicap event, which opened at 
11 A. M., by Manager A. A. Fink with ten entries, 
Fred W. Dinger, of Harrisburg, amd Dick Lamb, of 
Philadelphia, scored straight for first honors. Frank 
Wertz, of Reading; J. G. Martin, of Harrisburg; Dau- 
bert, of Llewellyn; Hand of Tower City, and A. Moyer, 
of Manatawny, tied for second honors. 
In the 20-bird race, twenty-five shooters participated. 
Many of these had previous State records, and some had 
records as one-barrel shooters. In this race, Walter S. 
I’.ehm, of Esterly, handicapped at 29yds., shot a clean 
score of 20. his last two being shot in the dusk. He was 
the last man at the firing line, and when his last bird 
dropped, applause arose among the participants and 
shooting admirers of Mr. Behm. He has now a phenom¬ 
enal record of 52 straight kills unfinished. Out of these 
he killed 23 birds with one barrel. He will very likely 
continue this run at Harrisburg or Pottstown on Feb. 
22, where a 20 and a 15-bird race, handicap, will be shot. 
Since Mr. Behm has attained this record, he will very 
likely be handicapped to 30yds. at either of these coming 
events. 
Frank M'ertz, of the home club, and Fred W. Dinger, 
of Harrisburg, tied for second honors with 19. Wertz 
missed his 12th hird, a dark brown hooper, which made 
its way among the missing across the fence. Dinger 
missed his bird, and from then he shot a perfectly 
steady clip to the finish. He was a former State chal¬ 
lenge trophy holder. 
Third honors on IS kills were won by Fick, of 
Blandon, and H. J. Wolf, of Pottstown, the well-known 
crack shot. 
J. J. Marberger and E. 11. Adams, both of Reading, 
tied on 17. Adams is one of the leading crack shots 
both at live birds and targets in Eastern Pennsylvania. 
He had a very peculiai experience this afternoon. One 
of his shells lodged in his gun chamber, which refused 
to release when he was trying to fire his second shot at 
his 14th bird, thus a lost bird was scored against him. 
Adams ranked with high honors with a straight score at 
the Boyertown 15-bird handicap race. Here Behm tied 
for second honors with 14. These two chums are very 
hard to beat, and will make some showing at the coming 
State shoot, to be held at York, Pa., on May 12 to 15. 
Daubert, of Llewellyn,, one of the Schuylkill county 
record-breakers as a one-barrel shooter, fell some shy 
to-day, not being used to the Berks county rules of 
handicapping. 
Hand, of Tower City, killed 8 birds out of his 15 
with one barrel, much to his credit. He is more of a 
target shot than a live bird shot. 
Samuel Kurtz, of Newmanstown, also a former State 
challenge trophy holder, dropped 5 birds, much sur- 
I)rising his admirers. 
“Ice,” who ranked high at Port Carbon, on Jan. 30, 
won high gun, but fell away below his usual average 
today. 
Sixteen kills proved to be the lucky number, as 
eight shooters tied on that nu nber, viz.; Prutzman, of 
Reading; Martin, of Harrisburg; Oliver, of Harrisburg; 
Coldren, of Reading; Lee Wertz, of Temple; Melot, of 
Fleetwood; Noll and Hoffa, of Myerstown. 
Fred. VV. Dinger, of Harrisburg, distributed programs 
and entry blanks for the 20-bird handicap race, to be shot 
on the Harrisburg Sportsmen’s Association grounds on 
Saturday, Feb. 22. 
PI. J. Wolf, of Pottstown, announced a 15-bird handi¬ 
cap race for Saturday, Feb. 22, to be shot on the Ring¬ 
ing Rock grounds, Pottstown, where a silver trophy 
will be awarded to the winner. A. A. Fink, of Reading, 
will have charge of the management. 
A. K. Ludwig, secretary of the Hercules Gun Club, 
Temple, Pa., announces a grand target shoot on their 
grounds on Saturday, March 8. All lovers of this kind 
of sport are cordially invited to attend. Programs will 
be distributed in due season.

New Rochelle Y. C. 
New Rochelle, N. Y., Feb. 9. —The day was clear 
and cold, and a brisk, puffy wind made the targets rather 
difficult. It was the biggest shoot the yacht club has 
had so far, there being twenty-six contestants, and the 
number of targets shot at was over 3,800. Shooting be¬ 
gan at 10:30 A. M., and with the exception of an hour 
for dinner, continued until about 4:30 P. M. The prin¬ 
cipal event was a team shoot with Siwanoy Country 
Club. The conditions of the match were: 50 targets, 
scratch, entries unlimited, best five scores of each club 
to constitute the teams. Siwanoy turned out nine men 
and one young lady. Miss Jessie Thorpe, and New 
Rochelle had ten men on deck. Siwanoy won the match 
by 15 birds. Among other visitors were Neaf Apgar, 
Mrs. V’ogel and Fred Howard. 
Donovan won a leg on the Olympic cup, and Molloy 
won a leg on the February cup. 
Field Captain Granbery was a busy man, looking 
after the details of the shoot, and what little shooting 
he did was not up to his usual form. A team shoot
