Tidbits of News and Gossip 
Among Shooters. 
It is with a good deal otf pleas¬ 
ure I note that Hayes Keller has 
been appointed sales manager of 
the Hunter Arms Co. This is a 
fitting happy new year to a man 
who has worked diligently and 
faithfully in the interest of his 
company. T. H. Jr. like his old 
dad, who is mistaken for his own 
grandson at times, is a friend 
maker of sincere type. He is 
popular through personality as well as though 
the merit of the L. C. Smith single trigger. 
Hayes, p'hysicaly, doesn’t cast much of a shadow 
but when it comes to selling guns, that same 
shadow eclipses many a gun salesman of much 
more generous pulchritude. May T. H.’s shadow 
never grow less. 
Almost every gun club has a shoot scheduled 
for Feb. 12 and 22, and the majority of the 
events will be made especially attractive. 
A decidedly attractive brodhure has been re¬ 
ceived from E. Reed Shaner, Secretary, Inter¬ 
state Association. It indicates care and painstak¬ 
ing effort on the part of the busy bees of the 
association, those who hive in Pittsburgh. Ex¬ 
cerpts from the booklet is re-printed on another 
page in this issue. 
We have received a number of requests for 
calendars issued by arms and ammunition compa¬ 
nies. We would suggest sending direct to the 
company whose calendar you want, and if it is 
possible for them to supply you they very gladly 
will do so. A word to the wise goes a fishin, 
sometimes. 
Every club in the country will hold shoots on 
Feb. 12 (Lincoln’s birthday) and Feb. 22, (Wash¬ 
ington’s Birthday) so that no shooter need go 
begging for a place to shoot on either of those 
days as most clubs are glad to welcome visitors.

PORT WASHINGTON YACHT CLUB. 
Trap shooting popular this year with good 
scores by many shooters. 
Attendance during the month at the Port 
Washington Yacht Club has been above the 
average, the old standbys being on deck to pass 
the horny hand of welcome to newcomers—dbwn 
there they call it passing the “Buck.” H. H. 
Shannon has been chief custodian of the silver 
and plate. His cup cabinet is beginning to take 
on the appearance of Ralph Spotts across the sea. 
Somebody better pull the handicap rope on this 
youngster, else 'he will start in the wholesale 
silver business. Scores Jan. 2nd.:

INTER-YACHT CLUB TOURNAMENT. 
The first of three Inter Yacht Club champion¬ 
ship shoots was pulled over the traps of New 
Rochelle Yacht Club, Harrison Island, ion Janu¬ 
ary 16th. The home team won the first leg with 
445, Marine and Field being second with 442, 
Bayside Yacht Club third with 431. John H. 
Hendrickson and Hazen L. Hoyt tied for indi¬ 
vidual high gun with 95 x 100, but Hoyt, who 
generally is there on a shoot-off, fell down badly, 
getting only 21 of his 25, while Hendrickson 
went straight. This gives Hendrickson a leg on

average gun for the entire series. High man on 
the winning team was Dr. G. H. Martin with 93.

CAMDEN FIELD GLUB. 
Kling Wins Turkeys. 
John Kling was the winner of two turkeys in 
the Camden Field Club shoot. Kling won the 
first event at 25 targets, shooting from the 20- 
yard line, breaking 23 birds. In the seceond event 
Kling made a total of 21. Kling won the third 
event with 20 targets, hut liberally donated the 
gobbler to the second man. For second place 
Pfeffer and Johnson were tied, and on the shoot- 
off Johnson shot ten out of a possible 12 and re¬ 
ceived the turkey. 
WHITE PLAINS GUN CLUB. 
Eighteen shooters shot the program through at 
.he first shoot of the year 1915 at the White 
Plains Gun Club, at the club grounds, Gedney 
Farms, White Plains, N. Y. 
Paul A. Raymond, the all around champion of 
the United States with the pistol, revolver, 22- 
calibre rifle, U. S. Springfield, who has just 
joined the club, found the conditions a little 
strange as he succeeded in breaking 80 out of his 
100. It is always with much pleasure that the 
boys all welcome Miss Laura Boles and her sis¬ 
ters at the club shoots. Miss Boles’ score of 79 
shows what perserverance at the traps will do. 
The true sportsman’s disposition is truly shown 
in Miss Boles’ work. H. K. Curtis and “Chubby” 
Bill Webb came over from Chappaqua and helped 
make the afternoon a pleasant one. Bill’s ex¬ 
perience at the first indoor trap shoot, held at 
the Garden always causes quite some laughter. 
Nobody can tell it as well as he can so for the 
benefit of those who had not already heard it 
he recalled the occasion and told how the referee 
asked him to be a little more careful in aiming 
at the targets as his last two shots had gone
