r, 
Mr. James R. Malone writes us that his annual mid¬ 
summer tournament, held at Betterton, Md., last week, 
was a success. He states: “The shoot was a success, 
if net from the point of big attendance, it was a success 
in the way of everyone enjoying it. There was not a 
kick from any one, which means a great deal.” Truly, 
immense numbers are not essential to individual enjoy¬ 
ment. 
tl 
Miss Anna Reiker, of Lancaster, Pa., distinguished her¬ 
self at James R. Malone’s tournament at Betterton, Md., 
last week, by winning the main event at 20 birds on the 
fourth day. She scored straight from 27yds. She also 
made third high amateur average, 158 out of 180, on the 
third day. Mr. Lester S. German was high professional

Mr. J. M. Hawkins was second with 501. 
At the shoot of the Schuyler County League, under 
the auspices of the North Side Gun Club, held at 
Girardville, Pa., July 30, a special feature was a 5-man

of a possible 125. In the contest for the gold badge, 
25 targets, Cooper, Coleman and Brindle tied on 23, 
Brindle winning with 23 out of 25 in the shoot off. 
Owing to the absence of many contestants, the Wals- 
rode cup event was called off at the shoot of the High¬ 
land Gun Club, Edge Hill, Pa., Aug. 1. The conditions 
specify that there must be at least twelve contestants in 
a contest. An event at 106 targets was arranged, and 
Capt. Ballantyne was the winner with 95. Mr. H. S. 
Welles was 94. A special match between Ballantyne 
and Harkins against Boyer and Mooney was called off

will be three moneys, with $100 added. Aug. 23 will be 
practice day. Secretary Herbert Abbott writes us: 
“This shoot, following the Des Moines, la., shoot, 
should be a drawing card to the shooters, as we have 
a delightful city to Sunday in, a fine hotel, excellent 
boating on the Sioux River, with good fishing almost 
within the city limits.” 
At the shoot of the Orange, N. J., Gun Club, Aug. 1, 
the Miller trophy became the property of H. W. Rich¬ 
ardson. He scored the third and final win on that date. 
This trophy, donated by Mr. F. J. Miller, the club’s 
first president, has been in competition about fifteen 
months. The conditions were monthly contests, 50 tar¬ 
gets, handicap, three wins to establish ownership. Op¬ 
posed to Richardson were Baldwin and Wickes, all 
scratch men, and each having two wins. The club will 
hold no shoots during August.

At the shoot of the Christiana-Atglen Gun Club, held 
at Atglen, Pa., on July 30, a 10-man team race between 
the home club and the Lancaster Gun Club, was of 
special interest. The home club was victorious by a 
score of 869 to 797 out of a possible 1000. A return 
match will be aranged to take place in the near future. 
High professional averages were made by Messrs. Neaf 
Apgar and Linn Worthington, who tied on 187 out of 
200. Lligh amateur average was made by Mr. Harry 
M inker, 186 out of 200.

Jamas R. Malone’s Tournament. 
Ihe fifteenth annual midsummer tournament of James 
R. Malone, held at Betterton, Md., July 27 to 30, was a 
pleasing success. Two sets of traps furnished the target¬ 
throwing facilities for the shooters. There was a good 
background for shooting. 
On the first day there were thirty-four contestants. 
The programme consisted of five events at 15 targets, 
$1.30 entrance; four at 20 targets, $1.40; and one at 25 
targets, use of both barrels, $1.50 entrance, contestants 
standing 2yds. back of regular handicap. All 90 to 95 
per cent, shooters were placed on the 20yd. mark; 80 
per centers, on the 18yd. mark; below 80 per cent., on 
the 16yd. mark. Handicaps were changed each day 
according to requirements. 
The Squier money-back system prevailed. One cent 
for each target thrown during the three days was set 
aside to form a special purse for those who did not 
win their entrance. Also 50 cents was charged to each 
contestant each day for this special purse. 
Of the professionals, Lester German led in the totals 
of the day with 173 out of 180; second, H. S. Welles, 
171; third, J. M. Hawkins, 170. Scores:
