Philadelphia Trapshooters’ League. 
The S. S. White Gun Club, by winning the Trap- 
shooters’ League match on March 3, at Holmesburg 
Junction, from Lansdale, is assured of the championship. 
There is only one remaining shoot, and the best Meadow 
Springs or South End, which are tie now for second 
place, can do is to finish second, one point behind the 
\Vhites, providing the latter does not win its last shoot. 
Highland’s defeat at the hands of Meadow Springs 
■dropped the Edge Hill men down to a deadlock hold 
on third place with Lansdale and Du Pont, the latter by 
beating Haddonfield advancing from fourth place. 
The clear and bracing weather of March 3 brought 
out the largest crowd of the shooting season, no less 
than 216 league marksmen participating in the four 
matches. Du Pont turned out the largest number, 63 
men firing over the traps for their club honors. Meadow 
Springs had 37 to enroll on the club’s books, while 
Lansdale had the least number, only 17 gunners making 
the trip to Holmesburg.

Meadow Springs—Highland. 
Having seven of their official “ten” reach the 40 mark 
■or b«ter enabled Meadow Springs to defeat Highland 
a Hapshooters League match on March 3 by a score 
of 411 to 376. Highland failed to get more than three 
men in the 40 class, for the rest of their shooters, ex¬ 
periencing some little trouble trying to gauge the blue- 
rocks, fell down hard.

Kahler— Gay. 
prominent sportsmen of Cincinnati, 
i hiladelphia, Lexington and other Kentucky cities gath- 
^'■‘=,9 at tire grounds of the Hilltop Gun Club at Aus- 
terlitz, Ky., on Feb. 26, to witness the first match in the 
series between J. D. Gay, of Pine Grove, Ky., and Harry 
x\.ahler, of Philadelphia. Gay is a veteran in the game 
and is reckoned one of the best wing shots in the coun- 
try, bar none; Kahler is one of the younger generation 
9 f shooters who has taken front rank among the cracker- 
jacks of the East, and in that section they have the best 
The conditions under which the match was shot could 
hardly have been harder. A gale of wind blowing from 
the southwest, quartering toward the traps, made quick 
and accurate work absolutely necessary. 
Hon. T. A. Marshall, of Keithsburg, Ill., was referee 
and Frank Pragoff, of Louisville, Ky., official scorer. 
Kahler won the toss for position, and fired the first 
''‘"ing his first 12 straight, losing the 
Mth. Gay dropped two in the first 10, the first 25 being 
finished with Kahler one bird in the lead; score, 22 to 21. 
In the next 25 Gay lost but two, while Kahler lost 
four, and the match was half over with Gay one bird 
ahead; score, 44 to 43. 
The third round of 25 was Kahler’s on a score of 20, 
”2' this made the contestants tied on 63 birds out of 
to. During the^ last round the light was getting rather 
poor and the wind seemed to increase in force. In this 
round Gay forged to the front, killing 21 to Kahler’s 18, 
and winning the match by three birds. 
Taken altogether, the match was the finest and clean¬ 
est exhibition of skill which has been seen at the traps 
in this part of the country. Scores, first match, 100 birds,

Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, O.—The weather was too cold on Feb. 22 
for many to try the bluerocks. Seven braved the storm, 
shot a lew and then sought the big log fire. 
A nice crowd was out on Feb. 23, and some good 
scores were made. Jones was high man with 145 out of 
150. Jim Smith and Bert Cooper tied for second place 
with 142. Chet Hedges third, 141. Fisher and Dr. 
Edwards fourth, 139. 
The next shoot will be March 21, and the writer ex¬ 
tends an invitation to each and all to attend the opening 
shoot at the Bulkhead Hotel at the Lewistown Reser¬ 
voir, or Indian Lake, in the near future. Having pur¬ 
chased the hotel and other property, 1 will be in a 
position to make it pleasant to all to spend their vaca¬ 
tion and duck hunting at this popular hotel. Every¬ 
thing is being refurnished and cleaned up, to make it 
the finest place on Indian Lake. 'Ihe hotel will be open 
to guests on and after March 10. Some twenty inches 
of ice covers the lake at present, so no duck shooting, 
tiood guides, with blinds and decoys can be had at 
reasonable prices. The same feed will be given as you 
get at the Columbus Gun Club. A new manager is 
wanted for the club. Speak up. Who wants it? Come 
to Indian Lake.
