Trapshooting in the West. 
San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 20.—The California Wing 
Shooting Club closed the 1910 season by a big shoot on 
Sept. 4, at which the medals were distributed to the men 
with the best scores for the season. The season is re¬ 
garded as being a satisfactory one, notwithstanding that 
a new ground had to be prepared and the members of 
the club are forced to journey across the Bay. The medals, 
for this season were won by Fred Willett, Tony Prior 
and Clarence Nauman. Willett and Nauman tied for the 
highest honors with 78 birds for the season out of a 
possible 84, and Prior secured 76. Willett had a lead 
over his rivals up to the closing shoot, when he missed 
two birds. Nauman made a perfect score, which en¬ 
abled him to tie the score of Willett. In the final medal 
race but two perfect scores were made, the other falling 
to A. J. Webb. The shooting of Clarence Nauman for 
the season is considered particularly good, as most of 
the time he has shot from the 32yd. line. 
The Bay View Gun Club held its regular shoot at the 
Alameda grounds, Sept. 4, a feature of the meeting being 
the exhibition given by Mr. and Mrs. A. Topperwein, of 
San Antonio, Tex. In the 100-target race the silver cup 
was won by E. Hoelle. The Selby trophy was captured 
by H. Swales. The winner in the club match for the 
season was H. Swales, who was given the gold medal. 
The second prize was annexed by E. Hoelle. 
A. P. B. 
Tournament at Youngstown, Ohio. 
The two-day registered tournament of the Struthers 
and Youngstown Gun Club was held at Southern Park, 
Youngstown, on Sept. 14 and 15. There was a fine pro¬ 
gram of twelve events each day, though its length cut 
down the scores of some of the participants who had not 
been shooting much of late. A strong wind on both 
days also had an unfavorable influence upon some of 
the scores. 
On the first day Broman was high gun with 188 out 
of 200 ; he also won the first gun in the merchandise 
event with 49 out of 50. Elliott taking the second on 48. 
On the second day Elliott was high with 188; he also 
captured the first gun with 48. Miller taking the second 
with 47. Events 7, 8 and 9, 50 targets, constituted the 
merchandise event, and evoked much interest among the 
shooters. 
Another year w'e hope to .have a larger attendance, 
though as a whole, the tournament was a success. Scores 
are appended:

Atlantic City Gun Club. 
Atlantic City. N. J., Sept. 23. — Tbe week-end shoot 
of the club was very well attended, and with good 
weather conditions the scores were all satisfactory. 
Cook was the star of the afternoon, winning the trophy, 
a cut-glass drinking glass, with 48 out of 50, and, with 
his two handicap, lie copped a perfect score. 
In the team shoot, Cook’s team fell by the wayside, 
Powers’ team winning cut by 8 targets. 
Algar, who is just out of the hospital from an appen¬ 
dicitis ooeration, had the boys guessing, and the time he 
is shooting in is perfect, and with a little more practice 
he will make them all go some.
