Western Connecticut Trep Shooters’ League. 
The fifteenth registered tournameni of the Western 
Connecticut Trapshooters’ League was held at the 
grounds of the Sea Side Gun Club, Bridgeport, Conn., 
June 21. A heavy rainstorm on the day before and 
continuing up to a late hour on the morning of the 
shoot, kept the attendance well down below the average, 
but what was lacking in numbers was made up in class, 
so that it was a most successful affair in every respect. 
High gun honors for the day were captured by E. W. 
Mumford, Hartford, with 144 out of 150, closely followed 
by N. L. C. Wilson, Bridgeport, 142, also ten others 
with scores of 90 per cent, and better, for the entire pro¬ 
gram. The most noticeable performance of the day 
was the 105 straight breaks made by S. P. Senior, Bridge¬ 
port, establishing a record which is likely to stand for 
some time to come among shooters of New England, and 
thereby capturing one of the much coveted prizes of¬ 
fered by the Du Pont Powder Co. to any amateur break¬ 
ing 100 straight, it being a very handsome solid gold 
watch fob, bearing suitable inscription of the event. A 
hearty round of applause was accorded Mr. Senior upon 
the breaking of his lOOth bird, which was well deserved. 
The five-man team match v/as again won by the Sea 
Side Gun Club, Bridgeport, it being their third consecu¬ 
tive win of the season, and hanging up a new record 
for the league of 462 out of 500, beating their previous 
record of 460, made at Bethel on May 3. 
Keen interest was shown in the special event at 25 
targets, distance handicap, and was hotly contested to 
the end. E. G. Southey, 20yds., and Chas. Fox, 18yds., 
tied with 23 each for first honors, Southey winning out 
in the shoot-off and taking the $50 Victrola, Fox taking 
second, which was a Smitn & Wesson target revolver. 
Other winners in this event were: Flomer Sherman, 
third; E. R. Lewis, fourth; Dr. G. N. Martin, fifth, and 
C. C. Smith, sixth, they having all tied at 22, and in the 
shoot-off finished in the order named. 
Hank Stevens captured high gun honors in the pro¬ 
fessional ranks, making the same score as the high ama¬ 
teur of the day, 144 out of 150. 
Much grace was added to the occasion by the pres¬ 
ence of many of the ladies, who came out to enjoy the 
sport of the day, and the well esablished hospitality of 
the Sea Side bo'ys. , „ , 
A sheep roast was served between 12 and 2, that 
being one of the really good features of the day, and 
where everybody made good scores. The next shoot 
will be held at'Danbury, July 26.

sion, Calhoun qualifying at the head of Class A with 
46 and no ties, Simpson qualifying at the ead of Class 
B with 38 and no ties. Dr. Hodgson qualifying at the 
head of Class C with 34, Pendleton and Young also qual¬ 
ifying with im with scores of 34. According to the 
arrangement of this shoot these five men having qualified 
in their respective classes for a shoot-off at the end of 
the season for a prize to be given to the winner in each 
class. In event of any one of these men qualifying in a 
subsequent shoot in a higher class, he will be automatic¬ 
ally eliminated from the class in which he has already 
qualified, as no man can shoot off at the end of the 
season in more than one class. 
Immediately following the 50-l)ird contest a shoot at 
25 pairs of doubles was run off, resulting as follows: 
Calhoun . 43 Peckman . 34

Altoona G. C. 
Altoona, Pa., June 23.—The second tournament of 
the Central Pennsylvania Trapshooters’ League was held 
at Johnstown to-day. Carl Moore left Dayton, where he 
ran up a good score in the Grand American Handicap, 
and traveled most of Friday night to be on hand in 
Johnstown. He broke 139 out of 150. 
The most remarkable affair of the day was the 
shooting of Edward Hellyer, Jr., of Alexandra, who shot 
at Dayton, and was in the money at the Grand American 
Handicap. He jumped to Johnstown over night and ran 
high gun, breaking 142 out of 150. Mr. Hellyer has been 
shooting at the traps only three years, but is one of 
the most consistent shooters in the State. 
Our “Uncle Bill” McClarren, the Ebensburg veteran, 
was on hand, and by breaking 117 out of 150, demon¬ 
strates that his seventy-nine years have not put him out 
of business. 
Chas. Newcomb, of Philadelphia, stopped off and 
shot at 75 targets, breaking 73, to show that he can still 
see them. 
Jack Waltz, of this city, was in charge of the office, 
and needless to say, handled it to the satisfaction ot 
everybody. 
The next shoot will be held at Lewistown on July 
24. Dubois will have a shoot on the 25th and 26th of this 
month, and some of the Altoona gunners will attend. 
The results of the team shooting Saturday follow:

Little Falls G. C. 
Last Saturday the Little Falls Gun Club held what 
will probably be the last shoot on their traps until the 
fall, but it all depends on how long the shooters can 
be held down, and that may not be long, for it was 7:30 
last Saturday before the last shooter left the traps. 
The lOO-bird prize shoot was very interesting, there 
being great rivalry among some of the shooters, the 
finishing being close, as shown by the scores. The 
winners were H. S. Sindle, G. A. Hobart, C. Speer, T. 
Dukes, T. Howard, E. Gardner, C. Canizzaro, W. Kuss- 
maul, S. Comly and E. L. Klotz. 
There was also a special match after the regular 
program for a cut glass bowl and was won by C. Speer, 
who tied with S. G. Francisco, H. S. Sindle, S. Comly 
and Ed. Smith. On the shoot-off Speer made 25 straight.
