Dec. 7, 1912 
New York A. C. 
Pelham Manor, N. Y., Nov. 28. —B. M. Higginson 
shot all around the snow men here to-day. He took high 
gun in both the scratch and the handicap legs, the first 
with 90 out of 100; the latter, from a handicap of 4, with 
a total of 94. As no shooter can take these two cups, 
the handicap went to C. Stein and Hr. lie Wolfe on a 
tie at 93. Stein won the shoot-off. Higginson took Mc¬ 
Mahon cup with 25 straight. Dr. De Wolfe landed the 
Travers Island trophy after a shoot-off against B. M. 
Thomson, under Olympic rules. The November cup 
went to llr. Bogart on a full score of 25. C. Stein took 
home the Ogden cup. 
The weather conditions included snow and a high 
wind. The scores follow:

Nov. 30.—To-dav wound up the Nove'mber cup event, 
the trophv going to C. Stein, who has been shooting 
under a fairly generous handicap. His month’s work, 
■however, has been very consistent. He also became 
permanent custodian of Ogden cup. McMahon cup also 
■ended its days of uncertainty as to ownership by finding 
a life home with R. O. Muller. B. M. Higginson has 
stopped, temporarily at least, the relentlessness with 
which Ralph Snotts has pursued the scaling targets to 
■successful conclusions. Mr. Higginson again took high 
gun honors with 93 out of 100 from scratch. Several 
events ran into ties, some of which were postponed on 
account of darkness. Scores:

Paleface 
Shooting Association. 
Wellington, Mass., Nov. 28.— Thanksgiving Day 
trotted the turkey — in fact, ten of them—fed, killed and 
picked in Vermont, were among the offerings. Eighty 
targets were divided into four events. Pick of the dry- 
picked went to high gun for actual smashes. This 
proved to be F. O. Williams, who eliminated 75 out of 
his allotment. Second high for actual damage went to 
Dr. W. C. Newton with 74, with W. R. Baldwin in the 
money with 73 actual deads. One lone for-wads-only 
powder burner was present, Sibley, who removed from 
further competition 74 aerosaucers — and he got a turkey.

Crescent A. C. 
Bay Ripge, L. I., Nov. 28.—Ten gunners, whose ap¬ 
pearance resembled the child conception of Santa Claus, 
snow-bedecked and cheerful, worked hard to-day trying 
to pick clay saucers from among snowflakes. W. W. 
Pell’s was the eye of discernment. He broke enough 
discs to score 88 out of 100, from a gift of 16, thereby 
winning holiday cup. F. B. Stephenson made certain 
of beating the corner on turkeys and their consequent 
high price by getting one with his gun, via the clay 
saucer route. He made 82 out of 100 in the scratch 
event. J. F. James got some feathers out of the bird 
with 76, while “buttsy” for third score went to C. R. 
James on a transposition of J. F’s figures. Mr. Steph¬ 
enson won also the leg on committee cup with 45 out of 
50 from scratch. G. G. Stephenson, J. P. Fairchild and 
W. W. Pell tied at 22 on fourth leg on monthly cup— 
water’s edge odds are 4 to 1, no takers, that G. G. S., 
now leading, will cop ibe cup. The scores follow:

Nov. 30.—J. H. Vanderveer once more took things 
home with 86 from scratch. C. R. James did mighty 
clever shooting on a strong quartering wind, when, for 
committee cup, he broke 48 out of 50, which, with his 
handicap, gave him a full. This tied F. B. Stephenson 
for the trophy. James won the shoot-off handily. R. C. 
Williams won the leg on monthly cup -\vith (5) 24, but 
as this trophy already was cinched by F. B. Stephenson 
with 66, it was glory, but no gilt. James took second 
on monthly cup with 64. Scores:

Jersey City Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Nov. 30.—Several members were 
out at the regular Saturday shoot of the Jersey City 
Gun Club to-day. The day was ideal for those that do 
not like it too windv or too frosty. Geo. Piercy was out 
for the first time this season trying out his new gun, 
and from the way he put the rest of the boys down and 
out, it would seem as though he had struck the right 
combination at last. George finished up with an aver¬ 
age of 88 per cent, for the day, his nearest competitor 
being Dave Engle, with an average of 81 per cent. The 
scores follow in strings of 25: 
Metz, 12, 15, 20, 21; Piercy, 18, 22, 23, 24, 22, 24; Lawton, 
18, 14 14, 14, 14; Engle 22,' 19, 19, 19. 23: Dalton. 18, 19,
