Wins and Defends Shannon Trophy at Holmesburg Junction. By E. F. Slear. Philadelphia, Pa., October 9.—A small bunch of enthusiastic trap shooters, taking chances on the weather postponing other out door sports, on Saturday made the trip to Holmesburg Junction and over the Keystone traps had a little match of their own. Easily the feature of the shoot was the match for the Shannon trophy, held by E. Fred. Slear. Dr. Wylie challenged the holder, and in a match at 25 targets, was defeated by Slear, 21 to 20. Frank Pratt then took a shy at the medal, and, standing at 17 yards, he outshot Slear, 21 to 20. Then Dr. Wylie thought he would have another try for the prize, and he imme diately challenged the winner, but in a close match, at which first one and then the other led, Pratt succeeded in successfully de fending it, 22 to 20.
