TOURNAMENT AT YOUGHIOGHENY COUNTRY CLUB. 
Youghiogheny Country Club. 
After one learns to pronounce its name, there is no 
club in this country with a trapshooting predilection 
that can improve on the Youghiogheny Country Club, 
of McKeesport, l J a. Its location is ideal. Its energy and 
ambition are irrepressible, and. its interest in trapshoot¬ 
ing speaks for itself—out of a membership of 250—20 per 
cent, are trap devotees, and the club is only about one 
year old. On Sept. 10 the tournament of the Western 
Pennsylvania Trapshooters’ League was held on the 
grounds and was handled in an absolutely satisfactory 
way. For a baby club to take care of four score and 
ten trapshooters is no mean project, and to do it to the 
satisfaction of all of. the fastidious clay bird crackers 
present is, or was, impossible. The club with the un¬ 
pronounceable name made it possible. The program was 
at 120 clays, out of which N. F. Johnston, from the 
Smoky City, despoiled 116. J. F. Calhoun, of the home 
club, trotted close up with 114, while Dr. A. II. Aber, 
of Drawsburg, and Mr. J. Irwin, of Monongahela, divided 
third on 112. High average for the season in the league 
went to Brownsville, represented by Carl F. Moore. He 
has 564 to his credit out of 600 shot at—94 per cent. 
George E. Painter snuffed 422 out of 455, or 93.6 per 
cent., ior second season’s average. High pink sheet 
for targets only entrants were J. F. Taylor and Woolfolk 
Henderson on a tie at 118. Les. German lost one too 
many, and took third.

Gay tied on 96. the former winning the shoot-off, 23 to 
21. He was challenged by F. C. Bell, and the match 
was shot on the Fayette Gun Club’s grounds, Lexing¬ 
ton, resulting in a tie on 95, Clay again proving the 
winner in the shoot-off, breaking 24 to 22. Clay was 
challenged by Charles B. Strother, the match being shot 
on the Winchester Gun Club’s grounds, and Clay win¬ 
ning' on a score of 97 to 96. The next contest for the 
cup will be held at the State shoot in Winchester, next 
spring. The cup must be won at two State shoots in 
succession to become the property of the individual. 
Besides the contestants for the cup, there were several 
shooters in the events. W. Henderson, of Lexington, 
was high man with 96; Guy Ward, of Birmingham, Ala., 
was next with 95, and M. I. Johnson, of Cincinnati, 
came third with 94. Clay, the former holder of the cup, 
v/as not in his usual trim, shooting to form in only two 
events. 
Hammerschmidt has let up in practice for several 
months, and showed the lack in this match, finishing 
at least 15 to 18 targets below his average. 
Weather conditions were about perfect. Arthur 
Gambell acted as referee, and Len Shepard as scorer. 
The boys were mighty well pleased to welcome 
Uncle John Dea, who used to be one of the regulars at 
our shoots, but was obliged to give up the sport on ac¬ 
count of ill health. He came down from Maysville to 
root for Hall, and surely proved a mascot worth having.

C. P. T. S. League. 
Huntingdon. Pa., Oct. 3. —Darkness sent fifteen birds 
to roost before the entire 150 could be shot at, so the 
high gun is figured on 135, of which A. M. Bennet 
missed only 10, thereby becoming honor man for the 
tournament. Ed. Hellyer, Jr., and Chas. Steinbach gave 
the topper a run for his glory, and only lost by one 
rock a piece, tying at 124. 
Upper pro. was L. W. Cumberland with 130, seconded 
by J. Lewis, 129, trailed by L. Lewis, 126. 
It was some shoot, with seventy-five entrants, and 
joy from start to finish.

Latonia (Ky.) Gun Club. 
W. H. Halt, placed Maysville, Ky., on the trap¬ 
shooters map when he won the fourth contest for the 
Kentucky State challenge cup on Oct. 5, defeating T. H. 
Clay, Jr... Of Paris, Ky., the holder; E. Hammerschmidt, 
of Latoma, challenger, and H. R. Irwin, Fort Thomas; 
H. T. Strother, Winchester, and Capt. G. W. Dameron, 
Bellevue, who had entered for the race. The race was 
between Dameron and Hall from the start. In the first 
round the former got a lead of one target, but Hall went 
straight in the second round, and secured a lead of two 
targets. The next two rounds made no difference in the 
standing of the leaders, each missing two targets. In 
the last event Hall went straight, while Dameron dropped 
two targets, thus giving the match and cup to Hall with 
a score of 95 to 91. The cup was first shot for at the 
State shoot last spring, when T. H. Clay and J. D.

Du Pont Gun Club. 
Wilmington, Del., Oct. 3.—To-day the Class A 
challenge cup was competed for. The h der. v\ ard 
Hammond, who won the cup from Edward Banks last 
Saturday, was challenged by Eugene li du Pont. The 
result was rather unexpected, as a close race had been 
looked for, but Mr. Hammond was way off and never 
came back, Mr. Du Pont breaking 24 to his 18 out 
of the first 25 shot at. In the last 25 both broke 21, so 
that the final result was 45 to 39 in favor of Eugene E. 
du Pont, who will now have to defend his title to the 
cup against J. T. Skelly, who had filed a challenge. 
For the sake of practice. No. 1 trap was speeded up 
a bit, and threw targets from 55 to 60yds., but some 
good scores were made, as all conditions were favor¬ 
able so far as the weather was concerned. Thirteen 
shooters in all were present, and six strings of 25 
targets were shot with the following result:

The absence of the more prominent marksmen of
