Shooting in splendid form, unworried by a gale of 
wind which made targets dip and jump like things pos¬ 
sessed, Dave J homas led the field of fifteen contestants 
m the monthly tournament, held over the traps of the 
Clearing Gun Club Sunday afternoon. The match was 
a 100-target race, shot from 16yds. Thomas broke 98, 
.• more than Charley Emery, who was second man.

Seventeen guns competed in a special handicap match

Independent Gun Club. 
Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 10.—A dark background and 
frequent showers did not make the best kind of weather 
conditions for the monthly target test of the Independent 
Gun Club at Holmesburg Junction yesterday afternoon. 
Despite all these unfavorable conditions, there was 
some shooting accomplished by many of the gunners, 
which would have well tickled a professional. Good 
scores ruled throughout, but to Willis, a visitor from 
Wilmington, went the high honors of the day. Out of 
his 100 clay pigeons he let but two escape his bird shot. 
Willis, who shot in really wonderful form, is to meet 
Banks in a special 100-target test for the Delaware cham¬ 
pionship at Wilmington, on Sept. 30. 
Willis, however, being a visitor, did not come in for 
any share of the prize money the Independents handed 
out. All the trophies were confined to club members. 
The fight for the high total of the day, handicap added, 
was a neck-and-neck test between Davis, Firth and Side- 
botham, all of whom pulled up at the 100 mark tie away 
for the prize. The gunners then entered the first shoot- 
off to determine the winner, with Firth dropping out on 
the first round. Davis and Sidebotham then fired away 
in another event, but were tied when the allotted number 
of targets ran out. It was too late for another test, so 
the men decided to toss a coin for the prize, and Davis 
proved to be the lucky caller. 
Charles Newcomb captured the silver spoon offered for 
the shooter making the best actual score, he breaking 
93 of his entry of targets. Scores:

series 
to be conducted this 
winter 
to determine the amateur target championship of the city 
for the Shannon trophy, was won by Clegg yesterday 
afternoon at Holmesburg Junction, when the Meadow 
Springs man broke 24 of his 25 targets from an 18yds. 
rise. The conditions of the series are that only amateurs 
of 88 per cent, or under are eligible to compete for the 
trophy, and the winner of each shoot is open to chal¬ 
lenge. The tourney will close on March 9, when the 
gunner having the highest number of wins will be 
awarded the prize. 
Both Slear and Pratt gave Clegg quite an argument for 
high gun, but each man lost by a bird. Slear, however, 
challenged Clegg at the termination of the shoot, and the 
match will be determined within two weeks’ time. Scores:

The attendance at the weekly shoot on Sept. 10 was 
quite good for this section, where the interest in the 
target game seems to be in rather a moribund condition. 
The comparatively few shooters who still take a more or 
less active interest are anxiously awaiting the appearance 
of a leader willing and able to place the local clubs in 
their former high position in the trapshooting world. 
We have the shooters still, but there seems to be no one 
with the enthusiasm necessary for the task. The weather 
was very sultry, and a heavy rainstorm late in the after¬ 
noon put a stop to the sport. Dameron was high gun 
with 93; in the first 50 he missed but two targets. H. R. 
Irwin who has earned a place among the best shots in 
the vicinity, gave the leader a close race, tying him in 
the last 50, and finishing with 91. 
In a match at 50 targets from 20yds.. these two tied 
on 47, which is some shooting at that distance. 
The next money-back tournament will be held on Oct. 
1. A special event will be arranged for a valuable 
trophy on this date. Just now Charlie Woodbury has 
the auto fever, and is putting in all his spare time on 
the road in his new car, but he will get back into the 
game again before long. There will be a live-bird shoot 
on the grounds on the afternoon of Sept. 21. All sports¬ 
men are welcome. The date for the ten-man team shoot 
with the N. C. R. Gun Club, of Dayton, will be an¬ 
nounced soon.

Pillow Gun Club. 
Pillow, Pa., Sept. 4. — The annual registered tourna¬ 
ment went off here to-day with a rush and was decidedly 
successful. Allen Heil had no difficulty in getting first 
money with 141 out of 150. Second honors were too 
great for any one man to carry, so D. A. Herrold and 
Robert Gable shared the burden, each being credited 
with 135 dead ones. There were twenty-one entries.
