Missouri and Kansas Trapshoooiers’ League. 
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 12.—The fourth and last shoot 
of the Missouri and Kansas League for the season of 
1910 was held at Elliott’s Blue River Park, "Kansas City, 
Nov. 10 and 11. 
The attendance was rather small for this event, but 
this may be accounted for by the fact that we have had 
two large shoots here within sixty days, and we are get¬ 
ting somewhat shot out. And, too, the duck and quail 
seasons are both with us. 
The weather man treated us good this time, but the 
scores are not as good as they usually are under like 
conditions. 
At a meeting of the League, held at the club house, 
Nov. 10, Vernon Greene, of Kansas City, was elected 
President; Fremont Huston, of Perry, Okla., Vice-Presi¬ 
dent, and Dave Elliott, of Kansas City, Secretary-Treas¬ 
urer. The following were appointed Board of Directors: 
Chris. Gottlieb, Ed. CP’Brien, Del Gross and Dave 
Elliott. 
The name of the League will be changed next year to 
the Big Four League, and will include the States of 
Nebraska and Oklahoma in addition to Missouri and 
Kansas. 
The outgoing officers were tendered a vote of thanks, 
and the manufacturers who have helped us during the 
past year were also given a vote of appreciation. 
Resolutions of condolence were ordered to be extended 
to the family of Fred Bell, of Arkansas City, whose sad 
death leaves a big vacancy in our ranks. 
The following resolutions were adopted: 
Be it Resolved by the members of the Missouri and 
Kansas League, that in the future the name of the 
Missouri and Kansas League be known as Big Four. 
It is further resolved that the purpose of this League 
shall be for the interest and promotion of trapshooting, 
and more particularly for the protection of fish and game, 
and it is urgently requested that each member shall con¬ 
stitute himself a specal game warden and assist the 
regular game warden in the fulfillment of his duties in 
apprehending violators of the laws pertaining to fish 
and game. 
It is further resolved, that the League give four tour¬ 
naments during the year 1911. one in each of the following 
States: Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska, at 
such place and time as the directors may decide upon. 
It is further resolved that the secretary mail a printed 
copy of the foregoing resolutions to each member of the 
League, including a list of its members.

Cincinnati (O.) Gun Club. 
Things are looming up for the club now, and we hope 
that the attendance will continue to increase until the 
club gets back to its former place, as one of the leaders 
in the sport in the Middle West. Two events were 
pulled off on Nov. 13, one at 50 targets and one at 100 
targets. An even dozen men took their places on the 
firing line. J. Payne' was high in the first event with 
48. and finished the day with a total of 90 out of 100. 
Hesser, who has not shot at the trap since the old days 
at St. Bernard, divided second honors with Bird on 45. 
Heilman got third place on 43—a very good score, con¬ 
sidering that he has not kept up his practice lately. Tar- 
bill was high man in the 100-target race, but not with so 
high a score as he generally makes.

Bergen Beach Gun Club. 
Brooklyn, L. I.—The regular monthly shoot for 
November took place on Tuesday, Nov. 8, the second 
Tuesday of the monthly incidentally falling on Election 
Day. On account of our members using the morning 
hours to exercise their right of suffrage, the contest was 
not called until 1 o’clock P. M., thus leaving but a few 
hours to complete the competition for the select and 
beautiful trophies Capt. Dreyer had furnished for the 
day’s sport. 
F. Schneider refereed, Sam Short took care of the 
scoring, and Schortemeier had charge of the cashier’s 
office. 
The wind blew a gale and the battery of expert traps 
did certainly lift the targets a la Johnstone and Hoxey, 
particularly the No. 1 trap. 
The conditions were: 100 targets, distance handicap. 
Simonson, of Lynbrcok, L. I., from the 17yd. mark, out¬ 
classed them all in the hurricane. 
Russ. Metz did himself proud and came in second from 
the 16yd. mark, with Ad. Suydam a close third. These 
were most popular wins. 
Tim Richmond’s new single gun got out of order in 
the first round. He borrowed a gun that did not fit him, 
but could not do justice to himself and withdrew at the 
end of the first half. Dalton finished out his 100, shoot¬ 
ing much better for Jim than for his own score. Of 
course, the score did not count. Mr. Morgan came in a 
good fourth. 
In the preliminary at 25 targets, from the 16vd. mark, 
the scores were: Schreivogel 15, Dalton 23. Von Boeck- 
mann 17, Skidmore 20, Young 18, Russell 15, Suydam 18, 
Medler 18, Schorty 24, Melville 3, Morgan 21, Moeller 20, 
Bergen 20, Dreyer 20, G. Remsen 21. The club’s presi¬ 
dent and treasurer and Schorty tied on 75, and drew for 
choice. Mr. Craft made an excellent score with a 20- 
gauge. Mr. Medler. handicapped at 17yds., shot at 18yds. 
from choice. Mr. Fagan came without a gun, but shot 
the 100 with a fev? borrowed ones. About 3,000 targets 
were thrown. 
The prizes were a cut-glass fruit bowl, cut-glass bowl, 
cut-glass fern dish, sterling silver cake knife, silver bon¬ 
bon basket, silver shaving set and mirror, silver sugar 
shell and spoon, silver shaving set, two dozen spoons 
two safety razors, two sets 12 blades.

S. S. White Gun Club. 
Philadelphia, Nov. 12.—The S. S. Whites held their 
monthly shoot on the. ITolmesburg Junction grounds to¬ 
day. 'I lie club event. No. 1, was at 25 targets, allow¬ 
ance handicap. A silver spoon was first prize. No. 2 
was at 25 targets, for the class challenge cups, Classes 
A, B,. C and D. The largest number of wins in the 
year determines the winners. Scores: 
J. F. Pratt won the club event. He broke 20 out of 25, 
which, with a handicap of 7, easily carried him to the 
top. W. E. Robinson and Pratt tied for the spoon 
offered for the high score on the two events with a total 
of 55, but as the club rules prohibit any gunner from 
winning two spoons on any single day, Robinson was 
awarded the trophy. J. H. Anderson with 51 won the 
runner-up trophy. 
In the class shooting, Griffith and W. H. Mathews tied 
for high honors in Class A with 23. In the extra event 
to decide the winner, Griffith broke 23 to Mathews’ 17. 
Sidebotham, Appleton and Robinson were on an equal 
footing for the Class B prize, but on the shoot-off Side¬ 
botham won by breaking 19 to Appleton’s 18. Robinson 
did not shoot. In Class C, J. H. Anderson won with 
24 breaks, and Harkins was the best shot in Class D.

South End Gun Club. 
Camden, N. J., Nov. 12.—The cold wind blew across 
the traps with great force, making all kinds of irregular 
target flights at the club’s monthly shoot. Nevertheless, 
the scores averaged well, some being quite good. Two 
spoons were offered as prizes: one for the high gun and 
the other for the shooter making.the best run. Lippin- 
cott captured the former with 24, and Dougherty the lat¬ 
ter by breaking 14 straight. The event, the first for three 
prizes in a total of 125 targets to be shot for monthly, 
was at 25 targets, sliding handicap, the number of added 
targets being governed by each month’s shoot. Nearly 
all the gunners were on scratch yesterday, but of the 
few given handicaps, two succeeded in ’ landing the 
trophies. There were four tied in actual breaks, Chal¬ 
mers, Hineline, Dougherty and Wakeman, with 22.
