Trap at Holmesburg. 
Holmesburg Junction, Pa., Nov. 13.—The Indepen¬ 
dent Gun Club and the S. S. White Gun Club held a 
joint shoot here to-day. There was a good attendance 
of skillful markksmen. Frank Sidebotham was victor in 
the White Gun Club handicap with 23, plus 2 allowance, 
which made 25, a full score. He also was a close con¬ 
testant in the Independent Gun Club’s events, scoring 
100 with an allowance of 11, tying with Cordery arid 
Worthington, the latter scoring 9S actual breaks out of 
100 . 
Newcomb was also conspicuously in the winnings, 
taking a silver spoon in the S. S. White competition 
with a net score of 95, and was runner up in the In¬ 
dependent shoot with 98, of which 3 were allowance. 
Overbaugh won Class B spoon; Howard George won 
Class C. spoon. Lynn Worthington, of Rising Sun, Md., 
won the high honors, the beautiful silver marmalade jar. 
Lester German had no handicap in the Independent 
Gun Club event, in which Worthington, Cordery and 
Sidebotham tied, 100 being the maximum. In the shoot- 
off, Worthington showed superb nerve and command 
of the gun. Twilight was rapidly deepening when 
Worthington had to make a train for home, but the 
Rising Sun expert lined up with his squad and scored 
all but one of his 25, bounded into an automobile and 
was whirled to the station before he knew the result of 
the match. Cordery broke 22 and Sidebotham 20. In 
all, Worthington shot at 175 targets during the day, and 
of this number he dropped but 3 . 
1 he almost perfect weather was responsible for the 
unusually high scores. There was but little wind, and 
early in the afternoon, when the light was good, there 
was no reason except the man behind the gun for not 
making a respectable total. The speed with which the 
first trap threw the targets puzzled not a few, until they 
became used to them, but the slower second trap ac¬ 
counted for many long-distance breaks. Yet there were 
but jew straight scores. Newcomb and Worthington 
divining the honors in this respect, although the former 
ha ,? his, gun. go wrong in the afternoon. Scores:

Thomas has highest score at 23yds., scoring 47; Young 
and Roll each scoring 46. 
Thomas and Young tied with 49 at 22yds., Roll and 
Young following with 48. 
Barto has two 49s from 21yds., Roll following with 48, 
and Quade pushing them along with 47. 
Roll was high at 20yds., with 48; Geo. Eck, Barto and 
Flewelling each scoring 47. 
Nov. 7.—The weather was cloudy and dark, threaten¬ 
ing rain all day; a heavy downpour putting a stop to 
the shooting just as some of the boys were getting 
warmed up. 
Thomas was shooting his automatic gun and Taggart 
tried out his better half’si new 20-gauge. Both of these 
shooters finished their last frame in the rain, and it was 
so dark they called for the lights to be turned on so they 
could see the birds, Thomas shooting from 23yds. and 
Taggart from 20yds. 
The Seeligs were shooting a new 20-gauge field gun 
and did not come up to their usual scores. 
Anderson, from Chicago Heights, brought his own 
gun with him to-day, and his scores show a big im¬ 
provement over his last visit. 
Mrs. Taggart intended trying her new 20-gauge, but 
could not muster up courage to go out with the squads 
and then the weather man put a stop to the shooting by 
turning on the rain faucet.

Batavia, N. Y., Nov. 11. —At our regular monthly 
shoot to-day we had some shooters from Byron and 
Churchville, but not enough to shoot the three-man team , 
race we had planned. The weather was fine and the 
scores speak for themselves, the first four events being 
the regular trophy programme. Febiger was high with 
95, Walls and Tomlinson 91 each.
