FOREST AND STREAM. 



68 



On Wopsy's Heights. 



the programme for its third annual tournament, which was held 

 on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week, July 10, II and 12, 

 the Altoona Bod and Gun Club closed its introductory with the follow- 

 ing: "All these * * * will stimulate you to a better fulfillment of 

 your various vocations and stamp in your memory a meeting that a 

 prolonged life will gladly retain. " There's no error there. It was 

 true, every word of it. Not a visitor who took part in any of the three 

 days' sport, not a member of the home club who worked for the suc- 

 cess of that organization and who laid himself out, as they all did, to 

 make things pleasant for their guests, but will bear witness to the ac- 

 curacy of the above quoted sentence. 



There was only one thing lacbiDg to make the tournament an entire 

 success— more shooters. Among the visitors were: Elmer E. Shauer, 

 Vandergrift and Julius Low, of Pittsburg, Pa.; Ferd. Van Dyke, of 

 Dayton, N. J., representing the Winchester Repealing Arms Com- 

 pany; Tom Keller, ot Plainfield, N. J., a representative of the U, S. 

 Cartridge Company; Gus QreifT, of Von Lengerke & Detmold's, 

 New York city, shootiDg a Francotte gun and Schultze powder; W. 

 H. Skinner, of Chicago, with a Forehand Arms Company's gun and 

 the new W. A. Smokeless powder; Major R. H. Breintnall, Newark, N. 

 J,; "Dutchy" Smith, of Plainfield, N. J.; Billy Fieles, of Christiana, 

 Pa.; J. E. Ross, of Homestead, Pa.; H. W. Burnham, of York, Pa.; 

 J. O'H. Denny, of Ligonier, Pa.; etc. But where were the Phtladel- 

 phians we expected to meet? Where wereHepler, "Brewster." "Sulli- 

 van" and the Worden Bros., of Harrisburg? Where were Smeck and 

 Shaaber, of Reading; ' Nelse". Hughes, of Williamsport; and the repre- 

 sentatives from Mifflintown, Johnstown and Braddoek? Are they all 

 waiting for the State tournament at Holmesburg Junction on August 

 21-24? It looks like it. Whatever was the reason, their absence was 

 regretted, and they missed a most enjoyable shoot. 



The preparations made by the club, and the forethought displayed 

 in looking after the comfort of its guests, were unexceptionable. All 

 cases of shells shipped in care of the club were transported to the 

 shooting grounds free of charge, and were to be found there on the 

 morning of the shoot. The club's large tent was erected back of the 

 firing Hoes and afforded ample accommodation, while two large awn- 

 ings stretched above the shooters' heads were a capital protection 

 from the rays of the sun that beat down with considerable force on 

 the summit of "Wopsy" during the months of July and August, A 

 hack that conveyed shooters to and from the hotel over the 1,200yds. 

 that intervene between it and the brow of the hill, where the tourna- 

 ment was held, was another proof of the care the club took of its 

 guests At the hotel also everything was done to add to the success 

 of the shoot. In past years this has not been the case, but this year 

 it was all one could wish. To Mrs. McCoy, of Pittsburg, the present 

 manageress of the hotel, the credit of this change must be given. 

 The inner man lacked for nothing. The Italian orchestra, too, was a 

 good one, but it was not DI Cillo's. One missed the jovial face of 

 Frank di Cillo and the muaic which he and his compatriots, Briglio 

 and Massino, discoursed at the tournaments of the Altoona Gun Club 

 In past years. We missed the "Darky's Dream." 



Of course the shooting took place at the grounds at Lookout Point, 

 the same spot where the target shooting of last year's State tourna- 

 ment was done. If there is anywhere a more perfect spot for a target 

 tournament, send Forest and Stream a photo of it for reproduction. 

 The beauties of Wopsononock have been so often described in these col- 

 umns that we must ask forbearance while a short story of the location 

 of the shooting grounds is given for the benefit of those who may not 

 have read of them before. On the summit of Wopsononock Mountain, 

 2,600ft. above sea level, stands a four-storied pavilion, crowning a 

 bluff that has about 800ft. of sheer descent. From the top floor of 

 the pavilion a magnificent panorama is spread before the eyes of the 

 tourist. On a clear day seven counties can be discerned. Below, but 

 slightly to the right, lies the city of Altoona, some four miles distant 

 as the crow flies. To the left are Bellwood (six miles from Altoona) 

 and Tyrone (ten miles still further toward the east). Bald Eagle and 

 Brush mountains, across the valley, blue with hazi, form the horizon 

 on nine days out of ten. On the tenth day mountain peaks in far dis- 

 tant counties are seen stretching away to the south. Behind, looking 

 back over the hotel, lie the mountains of Cambria county, rendered 

 glorious as evening passes into night by the rays of the setting sun. 

 At that hour, silhouetted against the sky, stands sharply out the 

 slender spire of Carroltown church, a score of miles away. A man 

 who can't appreciate such scenery can scarce be called a man. Any- 

 way, he's no shooter. 



It is on eaeh side of the pavilion mentioned above that the Altoona 

 Gun Club last year went to work and cleared and leveled at consider- 

 able cost two plots of ground, each 25yds. square. Right on the brow 

 of the hill a set of traps is placed on each of these plots. The shooters 

 stand back and have the blue of heaven for a background— a pure sky 

 background. No black smoke, no houses, no clumps of trees, no 

 fence variegated with advertisements, prevents an instant "getting on 

 to" the targets. Of course there are no "pickups." Once a target 

 leaves the traps it is pulverized by the shooter or else dashe3 itself to 

 pieces on the rocks, hundreds of feet down the forest-clad mountain 

 side. Vet with all this, each target thrown surely gone, whether shot 

 at or not, the Altoona Gun Club ran Its shoot and charged only 2 

 cents a target. And it will do so again next year. 



Not the least interesting part of attending a shoot at Wopsononock 

 is the railroad ride of seven and a half miles from Juniata to the 

 summit, during which a height of 1,100ft. is climbed by the locomotive 

 and cars. The trip from Altoona to Juniata is about 12 minutes by 

 electric cars; at the last-named place connection is made with this 

 mountain railroad, the A. C. & N. R. R., a railroad that does much to 

 help on the tournaments of the Altoona Rod and Gun Club. Looking 

 down from the shooting grounds, the train looks like a mechanical 

 toy as it creeps along and upward, following- the windings of a rail- 

 road that does not possess a half mile of straight track from end to 

 end. So much for Wopsononock and its surroundings. Now for the 

 shoot itself. 



On Wednesday, the first day, sport opened with a few practice 

 Bweeps at 10 targets each, unknown angles, $1 entrance. In these 

 sweeps Gus Greiff didn't do a thing but break his 30 targets straight. 

 This work, coupled with his shooting on Tuesday afternoon, when a 

 little practice was indulged in, had a good deal to do with his receipt 

 of but five extra targets in the big race. Fifteen competitors took 

 part in the 100 target handicap event. Van Dyke was placed scratch, 

 Kotty bei ag the limit man. To show the difficulties that besetahan- 

 dicapper, take the cases of "Dutchy" and Killits, who were given 110 

 and 112 respectively, and who scored 99 each, tieing for first money. 

 "Dutchy," as all his friends know, has not been shooting well for some 

 time; yet in this race he broke 90 out of his first 100. In the extra 

 events he broke only just over 82 per cent. Killits broke £8 out of his 

 100, and scored 99 in all, missing nis last target, a shot that cost him 

 quite a little money. In the sweeps he broke less than 82 per cent., 

 while the next day, Thursday, it hustled him to break 70 per cent, in 

 the ten 15-target events on the programme ! On this same day (Thurs- 

 day) "Dutchy" scored 83>£ per cent. "Clover," with his handicap of 

 10 targets, won second money with 96 out of 110, a fraction over 87 per 

 cent., yet in the extra events he averaged only 80 per cent., 

 averaging the same percentage on Thursday, when he shot 

 seven 15-target events. Van Dyke's 91 out of 100 was his 

 regular gait at Altoona, and shows what a really good 

 shot he is. The quick way in which he punched the targets out 

 whenever there was any wind that threatened to play tricks with them 

 was a source of delight to the boys, who always like to see Van come 

 out on top. When Gus Greiff started in and knocked out 24 out of his 

 first 25 he was looked on as a sure winner; he next totaled 21, follow- 

 ing this with another 24, making 69 out of 75; by dropping 5 out of hi3 

 next Btring, and only getting 4 out of his allowance of 5 extra, he 

 landed one point behind Van Dyke with 93, tleing Elmer Shaner, who 

 was allowed 10 extra, for fourth money. There were thus six out of 

 the fifteen contestants who claimed part of the purses; not so bad a 

 handicap after all, considering the length of the race. Two men also 

 made 91, one scored 90 and two totaled 89. Breintnall made a bad 

 skip in his first 25, scoring only 17, yet he finished with 60; while Fieles 

 lost 13 birds out of his first 50, and still came out with 67. Kotty broke 

 43 out of his first 50, and it looked a moral for him with his 20 extras, 

 but out of his remaining 70 he scored only two above 50 per cent. : a 

 most unaccountable falling off. "Clover" shot a very regular race, 

 scoring 22, 20, 22 and 22, finishing with 10 straight on his allowance. 

 Bill Clark shot as any man does who has the duty of running a shoot 

 upon his shoulders and in his mind. The race in detail was as folio wt : 



Handicap race, 100 targets, unknown angles, handicap allowance of 

 extra targets, $5, targets extra at 2 cents:

After the above events had been shot off the shooters who had fired 

 close on to 200 shots called a halt, as they had had enough shooting 

 for one day. As it was yet early, probably about 4:45 P. M., Skinner 

 proposed that the boys try their hands at "California freeze-outs." 

 These "Skinner games," as Dutchy promptly named them, took at 

 once as soon as the boys saw how they worked. The way they are 

 run is as follows: The shooters who enter shoot at No. 1 trap in rota- 

 tion; all who miss retire and pay 5 or 10 cents into the pot, according 

 as it has been agreed upon. The survivors then shoot at No. 2; next 

 at No. 3, and so on, those who miss each round dropping out and pay- 

 ing 5 or 10 cents (whichever it is) for each bird shot at. It's really a 

 miss and out, with compulsory division as soon as it is down to t-vo 

 shooters. At 10 cents a target it is an easy thing to find one's self 

 with a dollar or more to pay. Greiff liked the freeze outs, breaking 

 something like 48 out of 50 targets in them. 



What with the practice work on Tuesday, the number of shots fired 

 on AVednesday in the big race and the extras, added to the work on 

 Thursday in tne programme events and in the "Skinner games" Fri- 

 day, the 



Third Day 



found the majority of shooters not only lazy, but also out of their 

 own ammunition. As there were also only a little over two squads on 

 the grounds, and not all those anxious to shoot, freeze-outs and a 

 team race between the "Irish" and the "Dutch" took the place of the 

 programme. It is safe to assert that a more pleasant day's sport, and 

 one that was more enjoyed, has very seldom been spent. In the 

 freeze-outs during the morning Greiff and "Dutchy" led by a length 

 both &hooting very well. The team race was shot during* the after- 

 noon, and was a purely sporting affair. Van Dyke and "Dutchy" 

 captained the Irish and Dutch respectively, the event ending in a de- 

 cisive victory for those who wore the green. Van Dyke only shot 

 along after being very pressingly urged, as he was a sick man, suffer- 

 ing from an attack of malaria. Considering that he was thus decid- 

 edly under the weather, and that he was shooting "anybody's shells," 

 i. e., whatever he could get, his total is not as bad as it looks. The 

 targets, too, were thrown harder than in the 100-target event, the 

 trappers lining them up and down the screens in great style. 



It was after 6 P. M, on this day before the shooting was over, and 

 even then it was only lack of shells that put a stopper to the sport. 

 There wasn't a shell left in anybody's possession; those who had had 

 more than they wanted shared with those who hadn't any. The de- 

 tails of the team race, with its conditions, follow: 



Team race: Six men teams, 50 targets per man, unknown angles, 

 losing team to pay for the targets. Race divided into three optional 

 sweeps, two 15-target events and one 20-target event.

In the cashier's office, W. C. MacDonald and W. S. Bookwalter 

 handled everything that came their way with ease and promptitude 

 Compared witb Altoona's previous tournament's, "Buckshot's" work 

 in this department was a sinecure. The manifolding of the scores was 

 excellent— and how much that means to a press representative! 

 Traps and targets worked capitally. The traps used were Paul 

 North's bluerock experts, empire targets being thrown for them. 

 The pull used was an Empire Target Company's wire trap pull.
