In the handicap for two shotguns for first and second

shooting from the marks as indicated: John Living¬ 
ston 19yds., Homer Clark 21, D. A. Edwards 18, H. T. 
Edwards 18, H. Dixon 18, Chenault 17, and W. C. Rains

record from the 21yd. mark, made by H. D. Freeman, at 
Columbus, Ga., during the Southern Handicap. 
Darkness prevented any further shoot-'off, .so they tossed 
the coin for first choice of guns, D. A. Edwards winning 
first choice.

West Virginia Sportsmen’s Association 
Charleston, W. Va.—The dates of this registered tour¬ 
nament were June 16-17. Many trapshooters from all 
sections of the State and a large crowd of visitors were 
present. The competition was on the grounds of the 
Charleston Gun Club. Out of 200 shot at, G. E. Painter 
broke 194; A. G. Higginbotham, 188; E. O. Bower, 186; 
T. M. Mclntire, 184; J. A. de Gruyter, 184; W. Shat- 
tuck, 183. 
The shooting of the experts representing several 
ammunition and arms companies, excited much interest, 
but perhaps the most interesting event of the day was 
the two-man team race, which was won by C. W. 
Phellis and H. M. Shaul, of Huntington, with a score 
of 48 targets broken out of 50 shot at. 
The last event of the first day was the contest for 
twelve large home-made cakes, which had been made 
by the Ladies’ Aid Society of the State Street Church, 
who had in charge the sale of refreshments and lunches 
at the club house. This contest was very interesting 
and some good scores were made. 
The first day of the shoot brought out many local 
people who, in spite of the threatening weather, went 
early to the club grounds and watched the shooting in 
the various events. All the visitors found most com¬ 
fortable acommodations. 
J. F. Phillips, of Fairmont, won the State champion¬ 
ship trophy on the second day, breaking 49 targets out 
of a possible 50. J. A. de Gruyter, of Charleston; A. 
G. Pligginbotham, of Jacksonburg, and T. H. Funk, each 
scored 48. The State championship individual race was 
open to all West Virginian amateurs. 
The high man of the two days was G. E. Painter, of 
Pittsburg, who made 385 out of a possible 400; he was 
followed by A. G. Higginbotham, of Jacksonburg, with 
372; W. A. Weidebusch, of Fairmont, and E. O. Bower, 
of Sistersville, with 371 each, and Marshall Bond, of 
Charleston, with 368. 
A larger crowd of visitors than attended the first day’s 
shoot was present, and the weather was ideal for the 
trapshooters to work. 
Fifty-three amateur shooters took part in to-day’s con¬ 
tests. J. R. Taylor and George Maxwell tied for the 
first place among the professionals, each making a score 
of 381 out of -a possible 400.
