Speedway Gun Club. 
Newark, N. J., March 14.—Some fine shooting was 
witnessed at the Speedway traps yesterday, when the 
first annual tournament held under the auspices of the 
club took place. While the day was far from ideal for 
trapshooting, thirty-three gunners took part, and al¬ 
though they shot in a drizling rain, some good scores 
were turned in. 
B. M. Shanley, Jr., and John Geiger divided the 
honors. The former won first individual average prize, 
while the 25-bird handicap was captured by Geiger, wbo 
shot from the 19yds. mark. In the merchandise event, 
Geiger, A. Bruckner and C. W. Billings tied for first 
place, with “kills” of 23 to their credit. As all'the 
men shot from the 19yds. mark, a draw for the prize 
was necessary. Geiger won the draw. 
An event which created considerable interest was the 
“gun below the elbow,” which was shot in the semi¬ 
darkness and captured by Geiger, who broke 45 out of 
75. W. Hassinger was second with 41. 
In the seven other events, Shanley turned in scores 
of 20, 23, 24, 23, 23, 22 and 24. William Hassinger took 
second prize, and A. Bruckner, of the Newton Gun 
Club, third. In the professional ranks Neaf Apgar was 
high man, and incidentally won first average prize, 
while H. S. Welles was second and H. H. Stevens third. 
In the evening the club held a smoker at the Speed¬ 
way Inn, and the committee in charge of the affair 
arranged a vaudeville program for the benefit of the 
members. While the crowd was not as big as expected, 
a goodly number braved the inclement weather and 
were rewarded. The committee in charge of the smoker 
were B. M. Shanley, Jr., George Ohl, Jr., William 
Stengel, Richard McCabe, H. A. Wincklhofer and 
James Wheaton.
