South End Gun Club. 
South Camden, N. J., March 19.—There was only a 
small held out at the monthly shoot of the South End 
Ciun Club on the South Camden grounds yesterday after¬ 
noon, but those who took part made excellent scores. 
l he shoot for the annual trophies is narrowing down 
and there will be only one more. 
Horner led for the club points with a clean score, but 
his handicap of seven added targets materially figured 
in the total, the best actual breaks being VVakeman. 
who smashed 22. 
In addition there was a shoot for a gold watch, in 
which Butler and Pechman tied with 10 straight, but in 
the shoot-off, miss-and-out, Pechman captured the prize.

On Highland's Traps. 
Edge Hill, Pa., March 19.—The final shoot for the 
championship of the North Hills Country Club was de- 
cided over the traps of the Highland Gun Club at Edge 
i 11 y es * er uay> and Robert G. Ringgold easily captured 
the honors, beating out J. Franklin Meehan in the final 
shoot by 5 targets. When the two shooters took their 
places at the traps yesterday, Ringgold had one target 
to the good. He broke his first string straight, lost one 
on the second, two on the third and three on the. fourth, 
while Meehan lost four in his first 25. The shoot for the 
Class C cup easily went to Thomas Meehan, Jr., who shot 
in decidedly sensational form for a youngster, he smash¬ 
ing 20, while Lee’s best effort was 14. Ringgold also 
carried off the high gun honors in the regular club 
shoot, with 22 out of 25 targets. Scores:

Trap 
at 
Larchmont. 
Larchmont, N. Y., March 20.—Fifteen of the Larch- 
mont Yacht Club’s crack trapshooters made some ex¬ 
cellent scores yesterday despite the adverse weather con¬ 
ditions, and they were encouraged by the presence of 
many club members and guests. Full scores were re¬ 
turned in several of the eight matches contested, and in 
five of them ties were recorded. By reason of darkness 
and the bad weather the leg for the March cup cou'd 
not be completed. A tie between S. .Samson and R. L. 
Spotts—each breaking 24 out of their 25 targets—will be 
shot off next week. 
G. J. Corbett, although not a member, carried off the 
honors of the day. He won the 15-target scratch con¬ 
test with a full score and a special match in which he 
also returned a card of 25. He was also “high gun” in 
the 125-target scratch competition, his score being 111. 
W. J.. Elias proved the winner of the 10-target scratch 
contest, and S. Samson won the leg for the Commo¬ 
dore’s prize with a full score. After a shoot-off with 
J. Ross Collins, W. B. Short won the leg for the Sauer 
gun, while R. L. Spotts, with a score of 114, won the 
handicap match in the high gun shoot at 125 targets. 
1 he Larchmont team wi 11 shoot against the Crescent 
men at Larchmont on April 15 and will appear at the 
•New i ork Athletic Club grounds on April 22. 
Cl earview Gun Club. 
Darby, Pa., March 19.—Harry Fisher led the way for 
the club members of the Clearview Gun Club in the 
monthly shoot, which was held at Darby yesterday after¬ 
noon. Out of his 50 targets he broke 42 getting 21 of 
his first string and the same number in his second, 
risher was the only Class A man competing. 11c- 
Lullough led the delegation of seven B men with 40 
breaks, while Ullrnan, with a score of 37, was the leader 
m Class C. G. Shuster, a visitor, really carried off the

Jersey Cify Gun Club. 
Jersey city, March IS.—C. Day, Jr., trapshooter 
champion of New Jersey, earned the honor of being high 
gun among the amateurs who competed in the open 
distance handicap events at the Jersey City Gun Club 
yesterday. Considering the strong, bothersome winds 
that prevailed, Day’s average of 88 per cent, was an ex¬ 
cellent one. He started in ordinary fashion, missing 
e 'ghteen targets in his first hundred, but finished with 
a 93 in the next, making his total 175. His nearest rival 
was C. W Billings, of the New York A. C., who broke 
lb9 in the 200-target match. Scores:

The Westy Hogans. 
New York, March 18.—Taking advantage of the fine 
opportunity afforded, Westy Hogans attending the tar¬ 
get shooting tournament run in connection with the 
Sportsmen’s Show in Madison Square Garden during the 
past week, held a meeting in the Grand Hotel and 
paved the way for this year’s tournament of the Westy 
Hogans, which will again be held in Atlantic City in 
September. The meeting was attended by President 
Neat Apgar, L. J. Squier, L. S. German, II. II. Stevens, 
Charles A^. North, C. B. Brown, George Lyon, J. F. 
Pratt, J. S. Fanning, L. Z. Lawrence, F. E. Butler, H. 
B. Brown, George Benjamin and Secretary Bernard 
Elsesser. 
It was a matter of regret that the management of the 
Sportsmen’s Show was disinclined to carry the show 
over another week, so that the Hogans could assemble 
on VV esty s natal day, March 17, and thus give the 
meeting an additional air of importance and significance. 
However, the gathering was quite timeiy and much 
business of importance was transacted. It is the inten¬ 
tion of the Flogans to make their 1911 shoot even more 
attractive than was last year’s and this will be “going 
some.” The 237 different participants in last year’s 
tournament are a unit in dec.aring it to be one of the 
most satisfactory trapshooting tournaments within their 
knowledge of the sport. 
The Hogans propose to hang up approximately 
$2,500 in cash and prizes for the 1911 shoot. The Squier 
money-back system will, of course, again be used. The 
tournament committee will devote much time and 
thought in constructing the program, to the end that all 
who attend the 1911 shoot will be as well, or better 
pleased (if this be possible) than those who participated 
last year. 
It was freely predicted at the meeting that the attend¬ 
ance at the 1911 shoot will run close to 300, and in view 
of the likelihood of this increase over last year’s figures, 
the tournament committee will make its arrangements 
accordingly, so that the shoot will move along in the 
same systematic manner as it has in former years. Pub¬ 
licity was one of the chief subjects under discussion at 
the meeting, and in order that this important detail 
shall be given proper attention, a committee was ap¬ 
pointed to inaugurate a campaign of advertising that 
will cover a wide range of publicity. In this connec¬ 
tion, the fact that the shoot will be held in Atlantic 
City, where an unusual diversity of amusement is af¬ 
forded, aside from the novelty of shooting into the ocean 
from a pier extending nearly a mile into the sea, will 
be featured. 
The Westy Hogans were pretty much in evidence at 
the Sportsmen’s Show tournament. As stated in your 
columns. President Neat Apgar won the professional in¬ 
door championship, for which he received a handsome 
gold watch fob, and Westy German made the longest 
run of the tournament and was runner-up in the pro¬ 
fessional championship. An exhibition squad composed 
of Neat Apgar, Lester German, Jack Fanning, H. IF 
Stevens and L. Z. Lawrence, all Hogans, was the chief 
attraction of the Saturday night program. An immense 
crowd saw these expert marksmen smash all but a few 
of 250 clay pigeons. 
The tournament was under the skillful management of 
“Money-Back” Squier, chairman of the pregram and 
tournament committees of the Westy Hogans, and its 
complete success was, in a very considerable measure, 
due to his superior knowledge of the fine points ill the 
conduct and management of a tournament. 
Hercules Gun Club. 
Temple, Pa., March IS.—The weather was damp, snow¬ 
ing and raining part of the day. Considerable pleasure 
was taken in these contests. While the Elm Leaf won 
the single target race, the Flercules won the double-target 
team race. Considering the weather, the shoots at Read¬ 
ing, Boyertown and Newmanstown, we must say, had a 
nice crowd. In the extra gun event for a Remington 
pump valued at $28, donated by Mr. Bertolett, Mr. Eick, 
of Reading, won with flying boards.
