FOREST AND STREAM 
June 22, 1912 
Lehigh Valley Shoooting Association. 
The weather was very unpleasant on June 15, at the 
tournament of the Lehigh Valley S. A., as it rained off 
and on all afternoon. Most of the boys shot with their 
rain-coats on. This lowered their scores to some extent. 
A. S. Ileil, secretary of the Association, was kept busy 
hustling the squads amid the rain. E. H. Adams, of 
Reading, the banner amateur of the South End Gun 
Club, led the field of forty-five amateur shooters with 146 
breaks out of his 150 birds. Ed. wants the whole hog 
or none. The Reading boys are proud of his career, 
as he shot Melchior’s double-barrel gun during the 
entire tournament. 
A. S. Heil, secretary, and W. S. Behm, of Reading, 
tied on 142 out of their quota, for second high ama¬ 
teur. These two chums are of the same height, same 
weight, both single and no strings of cottontails near 
them._ Why should they not tie on such an event. 
W. Hepner and A. J. Mengie, of Reading, tied on 
140 as third high amateurs, with J. G. Englert right on 
their heels with 139. 
Arthur Rasmusson, pitcher of the Allentown ball 
team, landed 138, which was tied by F. B. Ziegler, of 
Royersford; E. R. Christman, of Royersford, and R. J. 
Budd, of Lykens, Pa. 
Both Fred Coleman and C. F. Kramlich fell a little 
below their average with 136 breaks. Melchior, Jones. 
Ball and Gerhert. four leading chums of Reading, each 
broke 133. F. S. Rader shot six events and had to 
leave for home. Mr. Daub, of Muir, shot a good race 
to-day. M. R. Eshelman, the oldest man in the race, 
landed 125 targets. G. E. Brown, president of the 
Bryden Gun Club, was low gun, with 87 breaks and 63 
goo-goos. He received .$2.50 for this record. 
E. O. Smith, of Bethlehem, gave the boys a good 
race. A. K. Ludwig, who was in the office, was busy 
hustling squads, preparing scores, etc. 
J. M. Hawkins led the professional field with 145 
breaks. Hank Stevens was second with 140, and H. L. 
Brown with 135 to his credit was third. L. R. Lewis 
scored excellently, w'hile assisting in the office work. 
This was F. M. Fay’s first appearance; he broke 130. 
A number of visiting shooters were present, and 
good care was taken of them. Fine chicken dinner was 
served at the hotel. 
In the ten-man team race between the South End 
Gun Club, of Reading, and the home club, the Reading 
team won by 35 targets. The scores in the team shoot

was on the job and delayed the game but eight minutes. 
The first gun was fired at 10:15 A. M. and the last 
at 6:20 P. M.; 6690 targets were thrown during this 
period, and was well done, considering the weather con¬ 
ditions.

present on account of attending a funeral. 
Treasurer M. E. Desch served as referee, while Pop 
Knauss had the official scores.

Sunbury-Selinsgrove Gun Club. 
Su.xBURY, Pa., June 14.—The regular weekly practice 
of the Sunbury-Selinsgrove Gun Club was attended by 
most of the regulars and also by some beginners. Tbe 
fact of the State shoot being so recent in date and all the 
men having had their fill of shooting, held the attendance 
down quite a bit. 
The final leg of the Du Pont trophy was shot, with 
Brian Teats being returned the winner with the good 
score of 190 out of 200 shot at, including his handicaps. 
Howell was right back to form again. Recently he 
was far off his usual pace, getting down to 80 and 82 
per cent. But yesterday he had his old-time down 
pat, and broke them with his old snap and ginger. 
Teats bought a new gun at the State shoot, and at 
once jumped to SO per cent, figures. The fact that it is 
not a flash in the pan, is shown by the regularity with 
which he makes 23s and 24s. A little more steadiness 
and he W'lll make them all hustle. 
Sulouff, Moeschlin, Yeager, though new to the trap¬ 
shooting game, made a very creditable showing. With 
more practice, they will there with’ the goods.

lenge trophy. The man winning it five times will re¬ 
tain permanent possession, and W'e will then get an¬ 
other. SECRET.-tRY.

■The shoot was a big success, but not as many 
entries as there would have been had the farmers been 
up with their work. Some of our home boys and our 
best shots were unable to come. 
G T. Hall and S. D. Workman, of Loami, autoed 
down and gave good reports of themselves. 
The ladies’ circle furnished good eating. 
We let down the trap about 15yds., but still there 
w’ere no big scores. 
A. C Connor went to the Macon, Mo., shoot, but 
was here in time to shoot the program through. 
Riverside Gun Club. 
, Brainerd, Minn., June 8. —An unusual feature of 
this shoot was the winning of both high averages by 
fath^ ^d son. Geo. Trent, Sr., of the Remington-U. 
M. C. Co., being high professional, and Geo Trent, Jr. 
being high amateur. Senior made 283 and Junior 277.
