American Amateur Championship. 
Pelham Manor, April 3.—A considerable population 
of champions of one sort and another went into the dis¬ 
card here to-day, when the American amateur club cham- 
])ionship was shot at Travers Island, under auspices of 
New York Athletic Club. Wires were crossed on the 
dope on the winner, as Ralph Spotts, by virtue of his 
consistent season’s shooting, and the fact that he was 
on home grounds, was tipped to win honors. He didn’t, 
lie got only third, and he has not shot in such uneven 
form at any time during the year. He was one of the 
champs to add to the scrap heap. Another was 
Ernest von Lengerke, who by the grace of a prevailing' 
wind, is champion of New Jersey. He was too far under 
the rope and old iron to be found with a grappling-iron. 
He landed sixth with 1G5 out of 200. Paul von Boeck- 
man. Long Island champ, didn’t need the sign “Use No 
Hooks” in looking for him. He was too far under to be 
spoiled by a hook. He peaked out from under about 
thirty-three bruised champs and near-champs, and at 
that he was only 13 discs below Allen Hell, who took 
second on 169. 
The big honor went to a mighty steady in-all-weather 
gunner, Charley Newcomb, of Philadelphia, who had a 
margin of 10 in his glory, cracking 179 out of 200 scalers. 
George Adee, the old Yale quarter-back, chipped in on 
every raise, finally being called on 14G. Another broad- 
shouldered football ’ero was E. Wigglesworth, some time 
back an all-American half-back from Harvard. He had 
the honor of heading the list of shooters, if one inverted 
the score-card. He smeared the ambient atmosphere 
with 138. 
Owing to a strong bear market on scores, A. Corliss, 
champion of New York Stock Exchange, was “put” in 
41st place. Pennsylvania had three men in the first ten, 
the balance being New Yorkers. New England was 
well represented in the entries, while not a single West¬ 
ern club had a shooter at the .score. Much interest was 
manife.sted in the club team shoot. New York A. C. 
took the event with 799 out of 1000, Ralph Spotts being 
high cracker with 167 out of 200. Boston A. A., shoot¬ 
ing on new grounds and not being used to the variety 
of steam that can ooze up from black creek mud, put 
up a plucky argument, passing under the wire just 11 
saucers to the bad. Westchester Country Club was 
sighted in the offing some 14 targets later. 
Among the for-wads-only disseminators of the gospel 
of ballistics, Les German, whose wares are a la Du Pont, 
tied up with high amateur on 179. It is interesting to 
note that this is the fourth time that Newcomb has shot 
for the title, and that he won it finally on the lowest 
score that ever has taken the title, which has been in 
competition ten years. 
In the itreliminary, held yesterday, Ralph Spotts was 
high gun with 183, D. F. McMahon second with 179, and 
G. A. Hobart, third on 178, while R. A. Faye, of Bos¬ 
ton A. A., completed the foursome with 176. 
In the inter-city team shoot, New York won with 
1708, Boston second with 1692, Philadelphia third, 1609. 
One hundred and twenty-nine guns started in pre- 
hm., and 149 in championship. Last year’s prelim, 
winner was E. A. Randall, of Portland Gun Club, who 
this' year made 171. Last year’s champion was B. M. 
Higginson, who this year did not compete.
