Larchmont, N. Y., Nov. 24.—Spotts—yes, Ralph 
Spotts, of course—outshot everything in front of the 
club house at Larchmont Yacht Club to-day. As usual, 
he cared not what kind of weather was furnished as 
spinning ground for the saucers. To-day’s gales were 
ice ladened and uncertain. The targets rose and fell in 
pleasant undulation or syncopated like a ten-year-old 
single cylinder motor in a heavy sea. He led in the high 
gun trophy with 139 out of 150 targets. He ran straight 
to a full score in the accumulation cup event, and sailed 
off with the 15-bird scratch event with 14 breaks. Dan 
McMahon ran a good second for high gun with 132.

Jersey City Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Nov. 23.—We had the largest 
crowd so far this season to-day, when eighteen shooters 
participated in the regular Saturday shoot of the Jersey 
City Gun Club. As the club’s high average trophy is 
figured on 100 or more targets, Dixon, who could only 
stay for two events, and set a hot pace at the rate of 
90 per cent., was not eligible, and so the real fight was 
between the two veterans at the sport, Engle and Shan¬ 
non. They both shot in the same squad, and fought it 
out all afternoon, and when it was all over. Shannon 
carried home the honors with an average of 84 4-5, while 
Engle had an even 84 per cent., he missing one target 
more than Shannon.

Don’t forget that the Jersey City Gun Club shoots 
every Saturday afternoon, and extends an invitation to 
any one who likes to break bluerocks, to pay us a visit 
and shoots as few or as many as they like. We always 
have a full supply of shells on hand. 
The prize for a 25 straight was also won by Shannon 
to-dav, he getting the second one made this season in 
the fourth event. Kearnev is showing great improve¬ 
ment in his shooting, and looks like a winner before 
the season closes.

Yale W ins Triangular. 
New Haven, Conn., Nov. 23. —Not because of Yale’s 
good form, but in spite of her mediocre showing, she 
won to-day from Harvard and Princeton. It was John 
Harvard’s day with punts and passes, but not for her 
aerosaucer artists as discriminators between jumpers and 
fast quarterers. .She finished last—verv last, being 30 
targets behind Yale, whose five lead Princeton only 3 
discs disintegrated. 
Princeton was cracking at about her average for this 
season, while Yale was considerably off plumb. That 
sterling dependable dried mud distributor, White, al¬ 
though shooting only 85, took top berth among the three 
squads. Bullock, from the Cambridge aggregation, lacked 
only one break of the Oransre and Black Captain’s break¬ 
age, while Simpson, from Wilsontown, littered fragments

Ossining Gun Club. 
O'Sstning, N. Y., Nov. 23. — The following scores 
were made at a practice shoot of the Ossining Gun Club, 
at 25 targets. Iilandford got a win with 24, Bedell and 
\\ ood coming second with 21. The cup is to be won 
three times to own, and is to be put in competition 
whenever five or more shoot for it at a regularly called 
shoot. Harold Washburn, son of “I. T.,” and a chip 
of the old block, shot along to-day and did some good 
work. Geo. Romair.e, a new one at it, also shot along. 
Win. Smith did some snappy shooting in the prize event 
after a long absence frem the traps. Brandreth was out 
of form, but ;s just as likely to put up a 90 per cent, 
score any time. Scores:

ever, by Allen Pirie with 25 total, shooting on a handi¬

The Du Pont Gun Club. 
Wilmington, Del., Nov. 28.—They are getting 
romantic down du Pont way. At least it generally is 
conceded that moonlight meetings are manifestations of 
romance. H. P. Carlon, Vic du Pont and J. W. An¬ 
derson, Jr., selected lunar rays in preference to the 
beatings of Old Sol as time opportune for settling a 
Class B Spoon tie. Carlon won the title with 20 out of 25. 
In Class B challenge match for the 1912 Class A 
trophy between C. Thorpe Martin, holder, and Nelson 
K. Smith, challenger, Martin broke 23 and 24 to Smith's 
21 and 24; total of 47 to 45. 
Coleman du Pont silver souvenir spoons brought 
out a number of contestants in several classes. Class A, 
however, had only four entries, and M. E. Rose won 
with 24. In Class B, there was a tie between Victor du 
Pont and Dr. Arthur Patterson on 24 each, but the 
Doctor had the spoon in his hand until he slipped up 
and lost his 25th target. The winner in Class C was 
C. E. Springer, who shot altogether too well for his 
opponents, and for that matter any of the contestants, 
by breaking 25 straight. 
In Class D, the veteran S. G. Davidson won a well 
deserved victory by smashing 20 out of his 25 in good
