[Jan. 21, 1911. 
Amateur Averages, 1910. 
Pittsburg, Pa.—Following herewith is the official In¬ 
terstate Association list of amateur averages for 1910, 
with names of contestants, total number of targets shot 
at in registered tournaments, total number of targets 
scored and percentages. , . 
The averages for single targets are based on a mini¬ 
mum of 2,000 targets, as per the Interstate Association 
ruling to that effect. The records of the tournaments 
held at Weiser, Idaho, May 13-14; Waverly, Minn., May 
29-30; Plattsburg, N. Y., June 10; Webster, S. D. June 
13, and Moscow, Tenn., July 4-5, were not received, and, 
of course, are not included in the list. 
The averages for double targets are computed on the 
Interstate Association tournaments only, and they are 
based on taking part in two tournaments as a minimum, 
as per the Interstate Association ruling to that effect.

New York. Jan. 10.— The Bergen Beach Gun Club 
will run their spring monthly series of contests on 
Feb 13 (Mondav), the celebration of Lincoln s Birth¬ 
day; Tuesday. March 14, and Tuesday, April 11, be¬ 
ginning at 10 A. M. each day. Best total of two out 
of the three shoots to qualify, three classes, 16 to 19yds , 
distance handicap; 60 targets each shoot; entrance SI, 
including birds, for many prizes. Our Saturday shoots, 
beginning at 1 P. M., will be at 100 targets each day, 
entrance $1.50, including targets; a trophy or cup each 
month and other prizes. This Saturday series will run 
through January, February, March April, May and 
Tune, 1911. Sliding handicap, 16 to 20yds.; five 20-bird 
‘events each Saturday. Contestants must enter at least 
three Saturdavs of each month to- qualify. 
Our fourth 'Cosmopolitan championship will take place 
on Thursday, Oct. 12 (Columbus Oay), 1911. We 
shoot on Saturdays during July and August. Our total 
number of shoots during 1910 was 60, and refreshments 
at the courtesy of the club at each shoot. This total 
included eleven monthly contests, forty-four Saturdays, 
four holidays and our “classic,” the Cosmopolitan cham¬ 
pionship. Same this year, boys. 
The first regular monthly shoot for the new year was 
held on Tan 10, beginning at IP. M. In the short 
afternoon*2850 targets were trapped from the expert club 
traps. The weather was delightful, the temperature 
moderating toward the evening. Twenty-one contestants 
participated, and the averages of those shooting at 100 or 
more taregts found Mr.Medler in the lead, with Garry 
Remsen second, Jack Fanning third, Schorty fourth; 
Vanderveer fifth and Kelly sixth. Garry had Brother 
Medler skinned on the first 100 by one target 91 to 90, 
but the latter batted out a 24 in the next, which hiked 
his average a few points over Garry s total. Dr. Moeller 
certainly is a wonder, near three-score-and-ten, and 
burning nitro powder at 275 targets. 
Targets were propelled the full 50yds., as usual, and 
the right-quarterer was a dipping deceiver. 
One of our new members, Mr. S. F. Thompson, tallied 
but 6 of his 50, but stuck it out nervily to the end. 
Tohn Dannefelser got a move on in two events, and is 
improving. Mr. Shannan shot consistently. 
Sam Short was referee; Billy De Long scorer, and Fred 
Schneider, trap-puller. . , 
Our serial contests, beginning on the celebration ot 
Lincoln's Birthday, Feb. 13 (Monday), the other two 
davs being Tuesday, March 14 and Tuesday, April 11, 
will be corkers. Shooting begins at 10 A. M. on these 
davs 50 targets; entrance $1, including birds, each 
day ’ Total ot two of the three scores to count; three 
classes 16 to 19vds., distance handicap. Prizes, as usual, 
and refreshments gratis. All amateurs invited.

thrown 50yds.:
