Midwinter Handicap. 
PiNEHURST, N. C., Jan. 24. —The best field a South¬ 
ern trapshooting tournament has ever gathered together 
lined up for to-day’s opening events in the fifth annual 
midwinter handicap, seventeen of the starters scoring 
bettter than 189 out of 200. G. S. McCarty, of Philadel¬

scored 194, three targets in the lead of R. W. Clancy, 
of Chicago; E. II. Storr, of Baltimore, and L. J. Squier

200-target race with a total of 194. In second position 
H. W. Kahler, of Philadelphia, and G. S. McCarty,

186. 
Jan. 26.—A. E. Ranney, shooting under New York 
Athletic Club colors, captured the Preliminary Handi¬ 
cap to-day in a race which was uncertain in its out¬ 
come until the last shot had been fired by the half a 
dozen leaders. In second position a single target away 
w'ere a fast trio, including B. B. Ward, of Aberdeen; 
R. H. Bruns, of Brookville, Ind., both at the 18yd. 
mark, and R. L. Spotts, the Larchmont Yacht Club 
champion, who was a yard further off. The field was 
closely bunched with J. A. Smith, of South Colon, O., 
and John L. Englert, of Catasauqua, both at 18yds., 
tied at 91. 
Huff, at 21yds., and Skelly at 19yds., were first and 
second among the professionals in 92 and 91. G. G. 
McCarty, of Philadelphia, led in the morning sweep- 
stakes with 98, tying with Lyon, professional. Kahler 
and I' A. Hodgman, of Tuckahoe, tied with Clancy. 
P-ofcssional, at 91. 
Jan. 27.—Shooting from the 21yd. mark, Harrv W. 
Kahler. of Philadelphia, led the field to-day with a 
clean cut score of 98, missing one target each in Mis sec- 
and ar.d fourth strings. Early in the game it looked as 
if some of the expeits might keep up to him, but it 
vvas scon apparent tint the purse and the tr .-phy wcr.i 
bis. Henry Powers on the 18yd. mark finished second 
w'ith 95. 
Ift third position a triple tie resulted between C. W. 
Billings, of New York A. C.; David T. Leahy, of Brook¬ 
lyn; E. R. Alexander, of Tuskegee, all at i 8 yds., and 
J. C. Biterling, of Allentown, 16yds., who scored 94. 
W. F. Hopper, of Jefferson, 18yds.; Frank S. Wright, 
of South Wales; Charles H. Newcomb, of Philadelphia, 
and Allen Heil, of Allentown, all 20yds., were in fourth 
place at 93; H. P. carlon, of Wilmington, 18yds., and 
'C. G. Westcot, of Orlando, 19yds., being the last to 
make oyer 90 per cent. The day was perfect. 
Hawkins, at 21yds., led the professionals with 94; 
Storr, at 19yds., making 93, and Skelly, at the same 
mark, 92. 
The gold medal for the high general average for the 
full 800 targets of the tournament went to Kahler, who 
scored 766, or 95% per cent. The gold medal for the 
600 targets at 16yds., Preliminary and Midwinter omit¬ 
ted, was won by G. S. McCarty, of Philadelphia, who 
scored 587, or 97 5-6 per cent. 
Kahler won second with 578, or 96% per cent., while 
H. E. Buckwalter, of Philadelphia, and F. S. Wright, of 
South Wales, tied for third medal at 574, or 95% per 
cent., Wright winning the shoot-off, 25 to 23, Buck- 
waiter missing his fourth and thirteenth targets. 
Lester German won the professional general average 
with 586, or 97% per cent. Wright was high in the 
morning sweepstakes with 99, and Jesse Young, of 
Chicago; Buckwalter and McCarty, tied for second at 
98. German also scored 99, which was high gun for the 
professionals. 
Taken all in all, it is generally conceded that the per¬ 
centage of experts, the entry list of eighty considered, 
was as high as has ever been recorded in an American 
■event. The winner takes $500, and the handicap trophy, 
and yesterday’s Preliminary winner, $200 and a trophy. 
The total added money and trophies amounted to $1,860 
It is superfluous to say that the Du Pont expert 
Luther Squier in the managerial chair, and with Charley 
North in charge of the Ideal-Leggett traps, that the 
tournament ran off as smoothly as an oiled sea. Leonard 
Tuft’s hospitality was of the real old Southern variety 
which spells perfection. . ’
