THE OHIO STATE ABOHERY ASSOCIATION. 



SECOND ANNUAL TOTJENAMENT. 



THE second annual tournament of the Ohio State Archery As- 

 sociation took place at the ZoiJlogical Garden In Oinclimati 

 on the 2oth, 2«th and 27th ult. The following clubs participated . 

 Westwood Archery Club, of Wcalwood ; Sagittarus, of Wali 

 Hills; College Hills, of College Hill; Waverly Club, of College 

 Hill; Highland Archers, of Wyoming; Uobin Hood Archers, of 

 Dayton ; Arden Archeis, of Marietta ; Olendalo Archery Ciuh, of 

 Glendale; Mcriie Bowmen of St. Clair, of Eaton; Mt. Aubu 

 Archery Club, ot Mt. Auburn ; Auburn Archers, of Mt. Aubur 



The Toledo Archery Club, a member of the Association, was 

 not present to take part in the tournament, but Mr. Smith, one of 

 Us members, came upon the grounds just before the shooting 

 was over and gave a special prize of Ave volumes of Ford's book. 

 Seven ly- two urehers took part m the tournament— twenty-nine 

 ladies and forty-three gentlemen. The record of last year's tour- 

 nament shows that nine clubs took part, with tlfty-three mem- 

 bers. The interest in archery i-s looking up in the Buckeye State, 

 as is shown by these figures. It was thought last year that the 

 excitement over archery would bo like the trau.siont temper- 

 ance movements which now and then sweep the Ohio Val- 

 ley, ot only short duration; hut it seems now, that its coming 

 was more like the dumb ague, whose tirst appearance in this 

 Ifion was recorded along with John Cleves Symmes' first deeds- 

 It came to stay. 



The Increased interest in archery after one of these public meet- 

 ings is sullleient evidence of their beneficial effects. However 

 badly one shoots at such a meeting, he comes away a better 

 archer than he was when he went. Every one seems bent on 

 tecting a beam in some fellow archer's eye, and is willing to i 

 and then have a mote extracted from his own. The result, is im- 

 provement on all sides and increased interest in the sport. There 

 were just seventy-two persons, b} actual count, who went away 

 from the tournament with a floced and firm determination to take 

 a championship medal next year. 



The shootiiig of this year was characterized by an ease and cer- 

 tainty of movement quite in contrast with last year's shooting. 

 It is evident that an entire change has taken place In the mode of 

 shooting among Ohio archers. At the last tournament everyone 

 had a style of his own. Somo "hunched," others took " ro 

 dances; " some swore aloud, others employed those quiei, deep 

 and awful forms of profanity used when a stranger treads on 

 your foot. This year's shooting was marked by a iiuiet moral 

 tone, which was relreshing, to say the least. It was the triumph 

 of Ford's method of shootiog. Everybody was trying to shoot 

 according to Ford, and it was observable that the best shots were 

 following his method. There is now no doubt but that the re- 

 publication of Ford's book will create a complete revolution In 

 archery practice m this State. " It was a maitly act of that To- 

 ledo gentleman to republish Ford's book," remarked a member 

 of a rural club during a slight lullln the shooting. (Sixteen footed 

 arrows were extracted from the body of the fellow who was 

 Kuilty of the above.) 



It was evident, as was often remarked during the tournament, 

 that something should be done to check thegrowmg habit am 

 archers of calling a gold, a buUseye. Anyone who has ever 

 amined abullseyeknows that there is not the slightest res 

 blance between the two, and then the thing is not fair fur 

 bull, for lie has no chance of talking back. Hiiriug the toui 

 meet a lady member of Uie Society for the Prevention of Cruelty 

 to Aniiiiiils, ralle.ii mo aside and asked me if I wouldn't use mj 

 Influence in trying to stop this slander upon the poor bovine'! 

 ocular organ. 1 assured her that I would (Jo my best (henei 

 this notice), whereupon she gave me a tract entitled, " Straight is 

 the gate, an arrow is the way," and departed. Her idea evidently 

 wag that idl Is not a bullseye that glitters. 



I had Intended, Mr, Editor, when 1 started out to give you 

 kind of dainly relish at this stage of my report, a slight descrip- 

 tion of the different frocks worn by the gay dames and sprightly 

 maidens who adorned our arohery meeting with their presence, 

 and at the same time touch upon the many-colored garments 

 worn br bui male archers. But I Und that Ufa 1< too short, and 



further, I understand that Mr. Will H. Thompson, who was auoh 

 a welcome guest at our tournament, is going to give you a do- 

 iptlon ot our meeting. The tpsthetic side of the afitair I leave 

 to him, knowing that his account will be replete with graceful al- 

 lusions and adorned with the latest metaphors from the.shores of 

 the Wabash.

INTERNATIONAL CRICKET, 



UNITED STATES VS. CANAPA. 



TWENTY long years have sped sinoo tlio cricketers of Canada 

 have crossed the line to meet their American cousins in 

 ihe field at England's national game, and great have been the 

 changes in these two decades. Many of those that did battle then 

 for their country's fame have sadly passed away, and the few that 

 are left can do little else but look on, for the game is now courted 

 both in America and the Dominion by much younger men, who 

 are fai' better Utied to play the old game in its new way. The 

 match was the ninth in the series of these international contests, 

 but for the first time in Ihe annals of cricket it was played under 

 the auspices of the two asscieiatlons which control the selection 

 of the teams, each in its r?speotive country. The result of this 

 new practical test of choice was therefore watched with anxiety 

 by those who have ihe interest of the game at heart, and the ap- 

 pearance of two thoroughly representative sides is a matter of 

 congratulatiOD to those who have carefully looked into the seeds 

 of time and predicted that the grain would grow. The match 

 was arranged to tie played on Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 13l;h 

 and 11th, on the grounds of the Germantown Cricket Club at 

 Nicctown, Philadelphia, hut no provision was made for playing 

 the match out should the weather prove stormy. This wiv 

 omission which we trust to sec rectified in the future, for it is 

 treniely unsatisfactory to allow the conditions of a match of t'nis 

 impoi'tanco to be' so draivn up that the preibability of a draw may 

 even enter into tiie agieemont. After traveling 500 miles no side 

 wishes to be restricted as to time, and hereafter tills match should 

 be kept going until one team wins and one is beaten, ftaiii inter- 

 fered with the play on the afternoon of the first day and caused 

 two adjournments. As soon, therefore, as C. Newhall settled 

 down, Ihe next morning, to bis cautious, patient, wary innings, it 

 could be seen with half an eye that nothing hut a draw would be 

 the result, and all interest was lost in the result of the match. 

 True, there was an cxciiiug Uurry when the wickets of the Cana- 

 dians began to lumblc in their second innings, but for all that 

 c to got rid of eleven men, allowing for the pre- 

 on between the fall of each ivicket. The man- 

 rounds and the match was in the hands of the 

 iltee of the Cricketers' Association ot the United 



jrmissi 



there w 



scribed 

 agement of the g 

 Executive Commi 



States, which is composed of the following gentlemen : Messrs. A. 

 A. Outerbridge, Chairman ; J. ftidsway Moore, John P. Green, 

 Llndley Haines and Daniel S. Newhall. We take pleasure in tes- 

 tifying that the arrangements were simply perfect, and the oom- 

 mitlee deserves the highest commendation for tiicir uniiring- at- 

 tention to the want.s of the visitors, (he public and the press. The 

 wicket, the scene of so many International contests, was much 

 deader than it usually plays, and the pilch seemed to cut up more 

 than it has done under ainiilar conditions. The out-field was 

 grand, and stakes and ropes marked the Inner ring. These were 

 the boundaries— thi-ee runs for under and four for over. 



The attendance was not as large as we expected to see, but it 

 was found that 2,700 persons were on the grounds the first day, 

 an das many as 3,000 the second. But although the audience was 

 small it was an appreciative one, showing that Philadelphia's 

 favorite out-door sport is well understood by the sight seeing 

 pubUe.and the timelj' applaiise denoting that the ring was well 

 up in the fine points of the game. The match from first to last 

 wasan astonlehinglj' good one, the bowling and fielding having 

 the caU the Urst day, and the efEcctive batting taking its turn the 

 next. Summarizing the individual play dttrlng the whole match, 

 we consider that Law showed himBClf to bo the best all-round 

 man ; G. Newhall certainly performed best at the bat, with Ray a 

 good second, and Kessler and Kay must take the palm lor the 



a America. VanRens- 



wiih the gloves, and Law's 



a journey over to see. Of 



IS prove nothing. We con- 



e out of Canada, although 



finest fielding at poin 

 sllaerwas, as he always is. at home 

 work at deep cover point was worth 

 the bowling, the figures in the anaiyi 

 aider Logan the best man that ever ci 

 we remember Eberts well. For the United Slates, C. Newhall 

 was by far the mostdifficult to play when the sun was up, for we 

 were not carried away with the telling performances of Brewster, 

 and Law during the closmg moments of the match. True, Law 

 sent them in at asmacklng puce, and Brewster kept well on the 

 bails. But the setting sun caused the long shadows of the fine old 

 forest trees that stand at the back of Iheground to slowly creep 

 out and spread like an outstretched band between the wickets. In 

 such light we defy any man to play, for as the ball would travel 

 on its way it ran the gauntlet of alternate strips of light and 

 shade. GlUean at times bowled grandly, with a pecuUar curve in 

 the air tliat must have made his Yorkers anything but pleasant to 

 meet. Ogden showed good promise, but outside of a llnoplece of 

 bead work wltb Bebsn, wUcb worked to a cbaim, S. NewhAllwas 



not up to hia usual work. The fields were placed excellently by 

 both captqlns, and Capt. KJrchhoffer had a good notion of makhiir 

 the most ot his bowling talent. 



THB OAMB. 



In ohai'mlng wiather, at 11 o'clock, the bell was rung to clear 

 the grounds, and a few minutes later Capt. George Newhall was 

 fortunate.in the choice, and elected to take the innings. The bowl- 

 ing wasopenedty Logan (medium round) from the lower end, 

 followed by GUlean (fast round) club-house end. 'I'o Logan's 

 bowling the twelve was placed as follows: Blake, at the wicket ; 

 Smith, straight-drive; Hay, pcrtnt; Gamble, cover-point; God- 

 frey, long-off ; Kirchhott'er, short-leg : Gil lean, el ip : Ogden, long- 

 leg; Behan, on-drivc; Totten, long-slip, and L'rousdale, long-on. 

 ToGillean, Logan took slip; Smith came In to long-stop; Ogden 

 to long-oft; Godfrey fell back to long-leg, and Behan to long- 

 slip. Although there were frequent changes, these positions were 

 adhered to in this innings. G. and D. Newhall went first to the 

 wickets, and the former hit Logan's third ball to the boundary at 

 leg for throe, he then got Glilean's first ball to leg for three, and 

 D. NewhaU drove him to long-on for a single. On the next boll G. 

 Newhall put one to square-leg, which Kirchhoffer aceeiiied— 7, I, 

 8. Law Joined D. Newhall and the latter played an over-pitched 

 ball from Logan on his wicket— 7. 2, 1 . 



This was a bad beginning for the United States, so Kobert New- 

 hall, Philadelphia's favorite bat, was sent in to Join Law. Oil- 

 lean's next over yielded 4- runs. Law cutting him sharply for 1 

 and H. Newhall hitting him to the ofl' for 8. In Logan's next over 

 K. Newhall's off stump was removed by a breakback— 11, 3, 3. R. 

 Uargrave partnered Law, who out GUlean for a single, and the 

 last comer slipped him for 3'a. Logan bowled his third maiden- 

 he was dead on the spot and bowling magnificently— and Giiiean, 

 after being cut lor a single by R. Hargrave gave Law's slumps 

 two close shaves. Logan's fifth over yielded 3 runs, each bats- 

 man getting him to leg for a single. Gillean sent down a maiden, 

 and R. Hargrave in Logan's next slipped hira for 3. GiUean fol- 

 lowed with another maiden. Both batsmen were now playing 

 steadily, and 4 runs were the result of Logan's seventh over. In 

 GUlean 's seventh over each player secured a single, and Ogden 

 (fast round) took the ball at Logan's end. Hargrave, after play- 

 ing his first two balls, hit the third hard to the boundary, at 

 square leg for 3. Gamble (slow round) then took GiUean's end, 

 with the total at 33, but the slows were too much tor R. Har- 

 greave. for he lifted one to Gillean at deep long on and retired 

 with a score of 16 made up of three 3's and two 3'a and singles— 

 32, 1, 16. Kessler Joined Law only to be clean bowled by Ogden, 

 the Ural ball— 33, .5, 0. Thayer, the pet of the Merlon Club, came 

 next, and almost at once gave Ray at point a one-handed catch 

 off the same bowler, which was nicely taken-33, H, 0. llrcwaier, 

 the eighth man, faced the redoubtable Law, who had been de- 

 fending his wicket obstinately. Gamble, second over, yielded a 

 single to Law, and after he got Ogden to 'jiid-on tm a hard block, 

 Brewster cut him splendidly for 3. Gamble's nc-vt over was pro- 

 lific of •( runs, Law hitting him hard (o the on for two 3'a. In Og- 

 den 's fourth over Brewster placed him nicely to the on for a sin- 

 gle. With the score of 41 Logan took Gamble's end and Brews- 

 ter cut Ilia first ball finely for 3 and another for a single. Law 

 then added a single on the on, and Brewster snicked him to lag 

 for 1. Ogden was then driven for two singles, one by each bats- 

 man, and Gillean resumed at Logan's end. On the first ball the 

 batsman ballced on a short run and Law was easily run .out. His 

 innings of 14 was a most exceUont exhibition of sound cricket ; It 

 was composed of two 3'8 and singles, after a stay of over an hour 

 at the bat-49, 7, 11. T. Hargrave joined Brewster and at once 

 hit Ogden splendidly to leg for '3, and Brewster cut him for 1. 



The first baU from GiUean clean bowled T. Hargrave— 54, 8,3— 

 and Clark joined Brewster, who was batting both carefully and 

 weU. Clark, however, was not destined to improve the disasi rous 

 took of the innings, for GUlean got in on hia leg stump on his 

 second ball-»t, 0, 0. Charles Newhall was Brewster's fourth part- 

 ner. Ogden's next oyer was a maiden, but in Glilean's next a leg- 

 bye was run off C. Newhall's legs, and Brewster phiced him to the 

 ofl' for a single. Brewster then Ut Ogden to the ropes at leg for 

 ;i, and C. Newhall drove him fora single. C. NewhaU then brought 

 down the liouse by a hard drive to the ofl: for 4, off GUlean. The 

 fielding of the Canadians was superb, particularly at this portion 

 of the innings. When til runs were up Ogden handed the ball to 

 Logan, who sent down a maiden to Brewster. C. NewhaU then 

 drove Gillean to the off for a single, but Brewster on (he next 

 ball was bowled otf his pad. Ills score of J5 was beautifully 

 made; it contained one 3, three 3'3 and singles- e.'i, JO. J'l. Van 

 Kensellaer Joined C. NewhaU and at once cut Logan for 3, il being 

 badly fumbled by Gamble. Gillean put down a maiden, ami after 

 each batsman had cut Logan for a single, Logan beat Van Uen- 

 seUaer completely and the side was out 70 runs, the lunlngg end- 

 ing at 1 o'clock, leaving C. Newhall 8, not out. During this in- 

 nings a new and exceUent method of calUng the overs was intro- 

 duced, the oflScial scorer sounding a tap-beU after every five balls 

 werebowleiL This saved the umpires the trouble of counting 

 the balls and made the overs accurate. 



The game was resumed al 1:30 f.M , with Totlen and Logan 

 at the wickets to do battle for Canada, faced by tiic bowling 

 ot C. NewhaU (fast roundi, club house, and I), Xcwhall (me- 

 dium round), lower end. The following are the pi.silious at 

 the start: For C. A. Newhall, bowUng ; D. Newhall, short sUp 

 Thayer, e.xtra mtd-off ; K. Newhall, third man; T. Hargrave; 

 mid-otf; Clark, longsUp; Brewster, mid-on; Kessler, point; Ci. 

 Newhall, short-leg square; Law, cover point; K, Hargrave, 

 draw; Van Renssallear, wiclcet-keeper. For D, S, Newhall: C 

 A. New hall, short slip; Law, long-Ifg square ; G Newhall, cover, 

 point; Thayer, short-leg: Clark, behind the howler; M, Newhall, 

 long-on; andR. Hargrave, long-on squaro-the remainder of the 

 team crossing over. Totten, who is lef t-hundcd, drew first hlood 

 by cutting the fast bowler tor a single, and in the next over cut 

 D. NewhaU for two 3's, and drove him to the oil fur 1 (oae short 

 run). C. Newhall's next three overs yielded two runs, and D, 

 NewhaU sent down three maidens- in C. Newhall's fifth over 

 Totten was magnificently caught by Kessler ut point on a very 

 hard low hit, a wonderful piece of cricket, and applauded lo the 

 echo— 7,1, H. Smith Joined Logan. The score stood ut S, when 

 there wasan ad.luurnment for dinner at 3 p.M- Oh eontinuins at 

 2:45 p.ji , O, Newhall sent down his fifth successive maiden. 

 Smith, in 1) Newhall's eighth over, hit him cleanly to leg for 1, 

 but lost his leg stump to a ripper from C. Newhall— il. 2, 1. Gam- 

 ble Joined Logan, and the bowling of the two brothers was dead 

 on the spot, 8 maidens following, in D. Newhall's twelfth over. 

 Gamble irot hold of a slow one and sent it spinnitif to square leg 

 foro. hut C, Newhall a\enu-cd his bioiner by buwiing u.miblc 

 Otf hislegs-13, 3, 3, Trousdale was Logan's foiinli puriiier. Lo- 

 Ban then bit D. NewhaU to deep square leg for :i, nut was sharply 

 caught behind the wicket by Van ftenssullear oQ' C. Newhall 

 on the second ball of the next over— IS, 4, o Behan, who ig 

 considered one of the most-likely-to-score bats of the Dominion, 

 Joined 'Trousdale, but when the score bad been moreaeed to 

 20, a violent rainstorm broke oTor the grounds and put a sud-
