THE STORY OF THE “GREAT EASTERN- 
HANDICAP. 
After a one-year lapse the Eastern Handicap 
Tournament is again on the sporting calendar. 
The “Great Eastern” as it is more commonly 
•called by trapshooters, was shot over the traps 
■of the Keystone Shooting League, Holmsburg 
Junction, Pa., on July 17, 18, 19 and 20. 
This was the tenth running of the Eastern 
handicap, the first tournament being staged in 
Philadelphia in 1906, so that it is only natural 
that Philadelphia should once more bring the 
tournament to life. 
The Eastern has been won 4 times from 18 yds., 
twice from 19, twice from 20 and once from 21 
and curiously enough on this occasion, the last 
time it was shot (1914), with the same score of 
97 and from the same distance as in 1916. Once 
it has been won with a score of 91, twice with 
•93, once with 95, twice with 96, twice with 97 
and once with 98. 
With a field of 164 actual starters, with a score 
more entries, and a winning score of 97 out of 
100 from the 21 yard mark by Clarence B. Platt, 
of Bridgeton, N. J., the Eastern Handicap event 
produced a fitting climax to a week filled with 
keen contest, well scattered winning, well fought 
shootoffs, and general satisfaction to every par¬ 
ticipant. 
When Platt outshot his field in the Eastern 
Handicap with a score surpassed but once before 
in the history of these events, he outscored by 
a single target three other shooters who had 
been running neck-and-neck for the honor. The 
other winnings were distributed impartially to 
all sections of the country about as follows: 
Preliminary Handicap to H. W. Lodge, Phila¬ 
delphia, Pa., with 96 out of 100 from 19 yds.; 
Introductory Event to John G. Martin, of Har¬ 
risburg, Pa., with 99 out of 100 and 49 out of 50 
and 39 out of 40 in the shootoffs; Special Event 
to John Noel, Nashville, Tenn., 99 out of 100; 
Eastern Introductory Event to Charles H. New¬ 
comb, Philadelphia, Pa., with 99 out of 100; 
Double Target Championship to Fred Plum, At¬ 
lantic City, N. J., with 29 out of 30; and high 
average on 16 yard targets to A. B. Richardson 
and Fred Plum on 343 out of 350. 
This summary of the victories achieved by the 
representative field that competed in this tourna¬ 
ment shows an average of victories that has sel¬ 
dom been equalled in the history of trap shoot¬ 
ing. Peculiarly enough it required a score of 99 
out of 100 targets to win each of the special 
events. 
This tournament, like its predecessors that 
have been under Interstate jurisdiction, ran with 
the smoothness of a piece of well-oiled machin¬ 
ery. Tournament Manager Elmer E. Shaner, of 
the Interstate, never showed to better advantage. 
CHANGES IN ONTARIO GAME LAWS. 
There are several revisions in the Ontario 
game laws this year principally in connection 
with the non-resident license fee for hunters 
which has been reduced from $50 to $25. The 
open season for moose, reindeer or caribou north 
of the C. P. R. from Mattawa to the Manitoba 
boundary and that part of the Province lying 
to the south of the C. P. R. from the City of 
Port Arthur to the Manitoba boundary has been 
changed, and is now from the 1st of November 
to 30th of November, both days inclusive. 
Non-resident hunter’s license has been reduced 
from $50 to $25. 
The division of territories known as Northern 
and Southern mentioned in paragraph dealing 
with ducks and other waterfowl has been dis¬ 
continued, and same regulations now apply to 
all parts of the Province. This division of ter¬ 
ritory is also referred to in other paragraphs 
under “Hunting Regulations.” 
The open season for moose, reindeer and cari¬ 
bou in that section of Ontario lying north of the 
C. P. R. from Mattawa to the Manitoba bound¬ 
ary and that section lying south of the C. P. R. 
from Port Arthur to Manitoba boundary has been 
changed from October 16 to November 15 to 
November 1 to November 30.

November 15.

15. No person shall take or kill more than 6
