Trap Shooting at the Youghiogheny Country Club. 
McKeesport, Pa., June 22, 1914. 
Trap shooting at the Youghiogheny Country Club on 
Saturday proved a most interesting race, particularly 
in doubles, where Calhoun and Aber tied with 20 birds 
apiece, out of a possible 24, and in shooting off the tie, 
each of them having agreed between themselves it should 
be shot off in 5 pairs, tied again, each getting 7 out 
of a possible 10. Calhoun led off by easily getting his 
first pair, Aber made a poor start, and only got one out 
of his two pairs, but Calhoun fell down, on his second 
and third pair, only getting one out of each. Aber 
who was shooting Calhoun’s gun. got the knack of 
things and succeeded in breaking both out of his third 
and fourth pair. Calhoun got his fourth pair and both 
missed one out of the last pair. They agreed to shoot 
off this second tie in three pairs. Calhoun got his first 
pair nicely, whereas Aber missed one. In the second 
pair, Calhoun followed Aber’s example and dropped one 
out of his pair. Aber got both out of his second pair 
and Calhoun both out of his last pair, making it neces¬ 
sary' for Aber to beat, to get both of the last birds, 
or lose out to the old veteran. He was equal to the 
occasion and once more tied the score 5 to 5 out of a 
possible 6. Both contestants had been doing consider¬ 
able shooting and b>' mutual consent, agreed to shoot 
off the tie at the next regular contest at the 
Youghiogheny Country Club, on the afternoon of July 
4th. This contest for doubles is all the more exciting 
in the fact that in the season’s contests for doubles 
at the Country Club, Dr. Aber and Calhoun each have 
one event, so they stand tied all around and there is 
considerable interest being manifested as to who will 
be the lucky victor. 
In the regular 50 bird contest, Dr. Aber was an easy 
winner, with 49 out of a possible 50 getting 25 straight 
in his first event, and dropping one bird in the sec¬ 
ond. Calhoun and Heisey tied for second place with 
an even 44 apiece. J. C. Ashton shot up well in the 
contest, getting 40 out of his 50. Dr. Aber qualifies 
again in Class A. Meredith in Class B, and Sword 
in Class C, each one being entitled to shoot off at the 
end of the season for prizes to be awarded at that time. 
Scores for the regular events were as follows: 
Dr. Aber . 25 
J. F. Calhoun . 22 
Dr. Heisey . 23 
J. C. Ashton . 22

'Indicates professionals who were ineligible to win 
prizes. 
The tie between Magahern and Jarrell will be shot off 
prior to the third Saturday in July, which is the regu¬ 
lar date each month for the Connable Cup contest. 
The scores made on the 16-yards targets were good. 
Harry Carlon, who jumped into the limelight last week— 
but not by shooting—gave a very nice exhibition of blue 
rock “busting.” missing but 5 in his 100. To do this he 
slaughtered 25 straight twice and then turned in scores 
of 22 and 23. Next in line was “Old Reliable” Fred 
E. Slear of Collingswood, N. J., with 94 out of 100. 
Fred is always a welcome visitor at the DuPont Club 
and seldom fails to turn in a good score. He cracked 
out three 24’s 0:1 trap two, but admitted that trap 
one got his goat, where he broke but 22. 
Ward Hammond, the professional and John Minnick, 
world’s amateur champion at 500 targets, came next with 
93 out of 100. Minnick broke 24, 24, 23 and 22 to hang 
up this total, while Hammond turned in a card of 22, 23, 
24 and 24. The sco.es in detail follow: 
H. P. Carlon . 93—100

It is getting to be quite the fashion to stage “special 
matches” at the DuPont Club, and yesterday afternoon 
three were pulled off. The contest at 50 targets per 
man between S. Tuchton and W. G. Wood for posses¬ 
sion of the Class B, Eugene duPont Challenge Cup, 
was a thriller. Wood got squared away in the first 25 
with a bad start, missing 5 out of the first 10, but once 
on the right track he gave his competitor a match for 
his life which was hotly contested every inch of the 
way. 
In the first 25 Tuchton broke 21 to Wood’s 16. In the 
second 25 Wood broke 23 to Tuchton’s 22, and the match 
ended Tuchton 4^, Wood 39. Several other Class B men 
are camping on Tuchton’s trail, and he will have to be 
some shooter to keep the cup away from them. 
A contest between three right and three left-handed 
shooters was also pulled off, and while the score was not 
as close as anticipated, the outcome was in doubt un¬ 
til late in the match, when Reed and Tuchton of the 
“lefties” blew up. The left-handers’ teams was com¬ 
posed of Harry Reed, Stanley Tuchton and Clyde Lee- 
dom. Leedom, since having his arm broken some time 
since has been shooting from his left shoulder and the 
scores he makes are surprising.
