Nov. 16, 1912 
New York A. C. 
Pelham Manor, N. Y., Nov. 5.—At the Election 
Day shoot the score sheet looked more like “those 
present” during the busy season in trapshooting at the 
Island. The number was not large, but was representa¬ 
tive. Capt. Billings, however, still is among the absent. 
G. M. Thompson scored one pedestal on the November 
cup with (3) 25, in addition to which he tied, and lost 
on shoot-off on Travers Island trophy. R. R. Debacher 
got a doubleheader, winning Ogden cup and Olympic 
style event. 
G. J. Corbett and D. F. McMahon tied for Mc¬ 
Mahon cup, Corbett, of course, won the shoot-off. Dr. 
Held scored on Travers Island cup, while Ralph Spotts, 
from 21yds., won distance handicap with 22 out of 25. 
Added events were two 100-target events, handicap 
and scratch, won by D. F. McMahon and G. M. Thom¬ 
son, respectively. The scores:

Nov. 9. — There were some changes in names and 
scores to-day, but no increase in the number. There 
was a bad down-channel wind, which sped up the saucers 
considerably.. November cup went to Brandenburg on 
a shoot-off with Lenane, with a handicap of 6. A. Elliott 
Ranney was there with his windward eye, taking high 
gun with 91 out of 100. Dr. Culver followed with 88. 
Ranney took, among other things, Ogden trophy, shoot¬ 
ing off with C. Stein. Lenane scooped McMahon trophy 
leg after a shoot-off. Travers Island trophy went to Dr. 
De Wolfe, who won also Day trophy, after a tie with 
Ranney, and a tie on Olympic cup with C. W. Billings. 
This tie will be decided at next shoot. The distance 
trophy also was won in part by Lenane, but Billings 
took it away on shoot-off. 
This was Billings’ first appearance since the regular 
events began, and he shot in pretty good form. Spotts 
was somewhat wind-fettered, being " placed only in high 
•gun event, when he made 86 
from scratch. Scores:

Jersey City Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Nov. 9.—This was one grand 
day for trapshooting, even if the wind did blow consider¬ 
able, but that only made the competition all the keener; 
but if any one thinks the targets were easy, just ask 
Kearney, as this is the third time he had ever shot at 
the rocks and drew a pretty bad day for a beginner. 
Shannon had the honor of being high gun with the 
unusually low score for him of 80 per cent. Dixon and 
Dr. Bogart were giving him a close race for the honors 
until they both tried out their new guns, and, of course, 
their scores then took on a sickly tint. Dr. Bogart 
has been absent from our Saturday shoots for so long 
that he had forgotten the location of the club evidently, 
as he was almost out to Newark before he realized that 
he had “got by.” However, after giving orders con¬ 
cerning a private garage he is having put up for his 
own private use, he promises to motor over every 
Saturday until the snow gets too deep. The scores 
follow: 
Strings of 25 targets: Shannon, 18, 23, 17, 20, 21, 22, 
19; Kearney, 2, 4, 6. 6, 14; Dr. Russell, 14, 11, 4, 12, 12; 
Dixon, 18, 21, 20, 17, 20; Dr. Bogart 19, 21, 15, 21, 16, 
19; Kellv, 11, 15; Burlington, 18, 15; Kurzel, 14, 14; Dob¬ 
son, 4, 8.

Danville Rod and Gun Club. 
Danville, Ill., Nov. 3.—Diamond medal went to J. 
Ed. McMillan here to-day on a score of 46 out of 50. 
Dog medal (gold) was bagged by Fax Bartlett, 42 out 
of 50. Kinningham eliminated 61 out of 75 possibilities, 
while Hendrich popped away at 100 and successfully 
negotiated 60 of them. Fourteen trappists burned 
powder. The medal shoot is a regular fortnightly 
feature and brings out great competition. The scores:
