Monongahela Valley Sportsman’s League. 
Morcantown, W. Va., April 27.—The first regular 
monthly tournament of the Monongahela Valley Sports- 
man’s League of West Virginia, for the season of 1906, 
was held to-day by the Grafton Rod and Gun Club, with 
an attendance of twenty-four shooters. 
The new grounds of the Grafton club, which were 
christened to-day, are a great improvement over their 
old location, as to arrangement, background and prox- 
imity to town (five minutes’ walk from hotels), and 
these advantages will doubtless induce a stronger attend- 
ance and more interest at club shoots. 
Mr. Colpitts, of the Fairmont club, won high average 
for the tournament, with the excellent amateur average 
of 92.5 per cent., and one run of 67 straight. 
The race for the individual championship trophy was 
won by Mr. Wiedebusch, after shooting off two ties with 
Mr. Taylor, both of the Fairmont Club. 
The five-man League team championship trophy (the 
DuPont cup) was won by the Fairmont Gun Club with 
a score of 85 out of 100. 
The Fairmont and Mannington clubs only were rep- 
resented in this race, as a professional call compelled 
the withdrawal of one member of the Grafton team 
before the programme was shot out, thus disqualifying 
that team, and the Recreation Rod and Gun Club did 
not have a full team at the tournament. 
The next tournament of the League will be held by 
the Recreation Rod and Gun Club, at Morgantown, on 
May 25, when the regular League programme of 200 
targets ‘will be run off, and in addition, one special 
event will be shot for merchandise prizes, under the 
Hae. | conditions: 20 targets, distance handicap. 16 
20 yards, handicap to be determined from scores made 
ie the regular programme, five merchandise prizes, with 
optional sweepstakes. 
The club also offers a special prize, to the first shooter 
who betters the ground record of 189 straight. The

Enterprise Gun Club. 
McKeesport, Pa., April 28.—The fifth and last contest 
for the McKeesport Daily News cup was shot on the 
grounds of the Enterprise Gun Club, April 28, and _re- 
sulted in a new winner, Mr. Wesley Hale, on 46. The 
race has been an interesting one; five contests and five 
different winners. 
Immediately after the last contest, the five men were 
lined up for a 50-target race, to decide the championship, 
and Wm. Everett, the winner of the first contest, was the. 
lucky man, on a score of 41. 
The weather conditions were fine. The targets were 
good. Everybody did well until the last event, when 
the governor on the magautrap broke, and all that 
could be seen was a yellow streak during this event. 
None of the boys seemed to know how to catch up with 
them except Wesley Hale, who broke the last 30 straight, 
and by so doing killed 2 birds with one shot, winning the 
$5 gold piece for long run and also the cup. 
The Enterprise Gun Club gave a prize to each one who 
made a win on the cup, as follows: Wm. Everett, Daily 
News cup for 1906; Wesley Hale, $5 cash; J. F. Calhoun, 
fancy suit case; RG. Knight, fancy gun case; W. D. 
Davis, fancy suit case; Wesley Hale, abe run of hits, 
30, $5; John Rhodes, long run of misses, 8, $2.50.
