NEW YORK ATHLETIC CLUB’S AMATEUR 
CHAMPIONSHIP OF AMERICA. 
George Bull Durham Lyon Gets Away With the 
Big Amateur Classic. 
Ole Bull Lyon of Durham, where the cows 
come from, and New York Athletic Club wound 
up an unusually successful season, the chief event 
of which was taking home the N. Y. A. C. Ama¬ 
teur Championship, held at Travers Island, un¬ 
der auspices of the Mercury Foot organization, 
directed by George J. Corbett. Never before has 
Travers Island held such a gathering of trap 
shooters, nor has a more representative bunch 
of dyed in the wool, can’t question ’em, amateurs 
shot a tournament. The entries were so resplen¬ 
dent with class that George L. had to shoot 
records full of holes, big enough through which 
to carry away the glory, laud and honor. Last 
year’s winner, Ralph Spotts, generally conceded 
to be the best shot in this section, stepped down 
to fifth place, with good grace. As a harbinger 
of spring, a fine young wet rain allied itself with 
a wholesome wind, which led the mourners to an¬ 
nounce that scores would be rotten. Alas for 
the mourners, they knew not whereof they mum¬ 
bled; the scores not only beat high of last year 
but trailed the ground record in the empty shells. 
Preliminary Handicap. 
When entries closed the score showed 115 
aerosaucer crackers in line, with a congregation 
of names with which to conjure. There were 
Spotts, Lyons, Burns, Newcomb, Snow, Richard¬ 
son, Randall, Heil, Hendrickson, Billings, Gun¬ 
ther, in fact, as the appended score will show, 
the top register mud disc destroyers were there 
to make the win anything but a Christmas tree 
picking. Eight events of twenty-five targets were 
shot. Lyon missed two in his first string, one 
in the next three, made a full in the fifth, 
missed one in each of the next two and skidded 
off two in the last event, chalking up 191, win¬ 
ning the preliminary event with a record score. 
A. B. Richardson of Wilmington, and Delaware 
State champion, finished only one target behind 
Lyon, after what seemed a hopeless chance for 
place. Richardson ran his last eighty-five 
straight. Third place went to Ralph L. Spotts. 
Boston-N. Y. A. C. Inter Club Championship. 
The last match between the class of Boston 
and Travers Island, which race has been going 
on all season, was finished, the Mercury Foot 
scaler chasers winning with 1,783 against 1,694 
After the previous match the Bostonians had a 
lead of 27 saucers. This was soon chewed up 
by the metropolitan bunch and 62 tacked on to 
it. In a second one crack out of the box team 
championship N. Y. A. C. again put one over 
on the bivalve aggregation. The score was 
1,648 to 1,433. 
Championship Event. 
George Lyon was touted to win this affair and 
true to form he did that little thing, with one 
target more than needed to win the preliminary, 
and at the same time kopping the record for 
smashes in this classic. He cleaned the ambient 
atmosphere of all but eight of the 200 swirling, 
driving, twisting clay saucers hurled catapaulti- 
cally over Shoal Harbor toward the shores of 
Long Island, five miles over yonder. And be it 
said in a whisper that there are no harder traps 
over which to shoot than those opposite the barns 
of the defunct menagerie across the creek, where 
John H. Starin dug a fortune out of the pockets 
of picnickers.
