Huntingdon, Pa. June 28-29.—Forty-one shooters, among 
them being the four “dead shot Meehans” took a chance 
at being reduced to a grease spot by a tropical sun, and 
faced the drivers and twisters in the two days’ shoot 
held here yesterday and to-day. The sticky weather took 
some the energy from the shooters, so that scores fell 
below the usual high standard. H. Shoop took high 
amateur with 365 out of 400; J. Franklin Meehan, Sr., 
short a close second with 364; H. German flaked 347 for 
third, while the clearing of the dust showed Barnett 
fourth with 340. 
L. W. Chamberlain scooped high professional, break¬ 
ing 380.

Have You Registered? 
Gun clubs that are thinking of holding registered 
tournaments during the last quarter of the year (October, 
November and December) should not overlook the rule 
which requires that application for registration must be 
made not less than ninety days in advance of the tour¬ 
nament opening date. There is still a substantial amount 
in our registered tournament fund, and there is little 
likelihood of any registered tournaments not being 
properly cared for out of the fund.
