Pottstown Gun Club. 
PoTTSTOwx, Pa., March 21.—The live-bird shoot held 
at Ringing Hill grounds was a success, in spite of the 
occasional showers. Twenty-two contestants entered the 
race, which began at 10:30 A. M. with one bird up. 
At 12 o’clock an intermission was taken to partake of 
the chicken dinner prepared especially by the hostess, 
Airs. H. J. Wolf—“Ye boys know this is Fred’s favorite 
dish.” George W. Hepler, of Harrisburg, the renowned 
amateur wing shot and former amateur State chairman, 
led the field with a straight score, receiving honory 
mention for this efficient work by the applause of his 
coachers and co-shooters. George kept his nerve, stead¬ 
fastly plunging every gamester as it departed from the 
traps. “George met the enemy, and they were his.” 
Mr. Eck, captain of the Elm Leaf Gun Club, of Read¬ 
ing, tied with Dinger, of Harrisburg; Lesneski, of 
Lebanon; Emmers, of Royersford, and Ladner, of Potts¬ 
town, for second honors, with 14 kills to their credit. 
Eck showed e.xceptional skill, losing his eighth bird, 
which ranked him among the crack marksmen in at¬ 
tendance. Dinger, a former State amateur champion 
trophy holder, lost his fourth bird, an old crow at that 
by its looks. It looked as though Fred wanted to spare 
him, as he was never touched. This landed him second. 
Lesneski, an old-timer, of Lebanon, landed also among 
the second honors, but would have landed straight, were 
it not for one of the trappers stepping inside the bound¬ 
ary while Walter was ready to fire his second load on 
his seventh bird, cutting off his view, then killing it out 
of bounds. 
Emmers, of Royersford, had a straight score up to 
his 15th bird, which he missed. This bird was in the 
game before, darting off like lightning as soon as the 
trap was sprung, rising directly for about 15 feet, then 
off she went without a scratch. The crowd was gasping 
with surprise. This placed Helper as the only straight 
in the race. 
Rehrig, of Schuylkill Haven; Fred Wertz, of Fleet- 
wood, and Smith, of Pottstown, tied on the hoodoo 13 
for third honors. Rehrig, who is known as the renowned 
Schuylkill county wdng shot, killed 4 of his birds with 
one barrel—very commendable. 
Tyson, of Lebanon, dropped 5 from his bunch, which 
is below his average. 
Fred Wertz kept his nerve well, but dropped his 
seventh and ninth, landing third honors. 
Smith made a very creditable score. “No wonder 
he let his wdiiskers grow.” Geist killed them all, but 
two dropped dead out of bounds. Tholan, of Phoenix- 
ville, shot 8 of his birds, with one barrel, which is very 
creditable to him. It shows a keen, skillful eye. 
Frank Wertz, of Reading, came very late, was un¬ 
lucky all day, scoring away below his general average. 
On Feb. 8, at Spring Valley, he ranked among the high 
honors with 19 out of the 20 birds. 
Harry .S. Coldren, of Reading, lost three of his birds, 
which is exceptionally low for his record. The day was 
warm and •evidently too many flies on his gun. 
Lessig lost his first and fifth out of bounds, as well 
as Geist. 
The birds were strong, heavy, recently caught barn¬ 
yard gamesters, which accounts for low scores. The 
management was under supervision of A. A. Fink, of 
Reading. A. K. Ludwig, also of Reading, served as 
referee and scorer, keeping the game rolling. Reading’s 
renowned wingshot trio—Messrs. Adams, Marberger and 
Behm—were missed to-day. These are the boys who 
generally land the bacon. 
Another race of 15 birds will be held on the Mill 
Park grounds, under the auspices of the Pottstown 
Gun Club on March 29, under the management of Jos. 
11. Smith and Norman Hanley. Handicaps 27 to 30yds.
