gives them a “hunch” in any race. Insist on having ‘*steel where steel belongs.'*

Ne^dow Spring—Du Pont. 
Philadelphia, May 3.—A broken trap upset the 
entire program to-day, thus postponing the finish of 
the Philadelphia Trapshooters’ League wind-up. When 
Meadow Spring and Du Pont lined up for the shoot 
upon which hinged the championship, a record-breaking 
list entered for the day. If Du Pont had won they 
would have taken title to championship. Had Meadow 
Spring won it meant the tying of Du Pont for first 
place. Both clubs agreed to shoot the delayed match 
•on May 17, with sanction of the committee. 
The League now stands: 
White . 
Du Pont . 
Lansdale . 
Meadow Spring 
Highland .

Lansdale- 
Edge Hill. 
Philadelphia, May 3. —Lansdale won the final 
League match for Highland to-day at Edge Hill, 420 
to 415. Many of the home team, as well as all of the 
visitors, went home with the idea that Highland had 
won the shoot by two targets, but all had counted in the 
47 made by Vincent Oliver, who was the high gun of 
the day, but who was said to be ineligible, as he had 
previously shot for the Clearview Club. This score made 
a big difference, but the Lansdale shooters were of the 
opinion that competing for Highland, Oliver must neces¬ 
sarily be a qualified member, and they had counted in 
"his score. Oliver belongs to the Edge Hill Club, but he 
is also a member of Clearview, and it was said that he 
elected to shoot under the latter’s colors in Trapshoot- 
■ers’ League matches, which made him ineligible to be 
■counted for Highland. 
Lansdale had seven shooters with totals of 40 or 
better, and though they were forced to take in a 35, it 
was the speed of Munch with 46, the Swartz brothers 
with 45 a piece, and H. Nice with 44, that helped materi¬ 
ally to win. Scores:

Glen Willows—While. 
Philadelphia, May 3.—From a wholly unexpected 
source came the downfall of S. S. White Gun Club team 
in the race for championship of Philadelphia Trapshoot¬ 
ers’ League. Glen Willow, heretofore trodden on by 
every team in the League, to-day came up with the 
punch that put away the Dentists, Glen Willon’s ten 
high men did not fall below 43, Steen with 48 leading. 
The Whites did not have a member fall below the 43 
total, but there were three of those with 48, C. H. New¬ 
comb was high for the losers with 48. Scores:

Herron Hill Gun Club. 
PiTTiSBURGH, Pa., May 5.—The opening shoot of the 
Herron Hill Gun Club, of this place, was held May 3 
and proved a success with ideal weather and grounds 
in splendid condition. Twenty-two of the trapshooting 
fraternity in attendance. The special feature of the 
afternoon was the sterling silver spoon race, awarded 
according to the Lewis class system. Geo. Cochran and 
Oscar Kirsch tied for Class A spoon with 47. In the 
shoot-off, which was very close, Kirsch captured the 
trophy. Crothers won the Class B spoon. Pearson the 
Class C, and Sherrer the Class D. 
Jim Lewis was high professional, and being the 
originator of the class system, comes in very handy 
around the shooting grounds on such occasions as this, 
and you will generally find him in the office. Joe Gar¬ 
land was present and redeemed his record of a few 
weeks ago. Scores:
