Ivins-Ballard vs. Hoey -Murphy. 



Elkwood Park, N. J.— The property of Piiil Daly, of Long Branch, 

 N. J., has been the scene of some excellent live-bird shooting during 

 the past two weeks. The park itself contains an excellent, mile track, 

 as fast as any in the States, and one which is much frequented by 

 owners of trotters, pacers and bicycles. Bicyclists know well the 

 records recently credited to this track, its career as a pigeon-shoot- 

 ing arena is of very recent date. Target, or clay-pigeon shooting, was 

 auspiciously inaugurated on Auk. 16, on which date seventeen shoot- 

 ers took part in a 100 -target handicap racB, $10 entranca, the winner 

 turning up in Capt. E. B. Wadsworth, of Boston, Mass., who scared 

 100 out of his 110. His club, the Boston Shooting Association, was 

 also represented by Orrin R. Dickey, who made the great score of 97 

 out of hiB 100 targets, tieing for seaond money with Charlie Smith, of 

 Plainfield, N. J., who was allowed six extra targets to shoot at. 



BALLARD DEFEATS IVINS. 



One or two live-bird matches of more or less importance have also 

 been recorded since the opening of the park to shooters, and prior to 

 Friday, Aug. 30. One of these matches was a 50 live-bird race, shot on 

 Aug. 23, the contestants being A. L. Ivins, of Seabright, N. J., and 

 Bland Ballard, of Louisville, Ky. The conditions were: 50 live birds 

 per man, Ivins allowing Ballard 1yd. The score, which is given below, 

 shows that Ballard won by two birds, killing 47 to 45. Out of the 

 eight birds recorded as lost, but one or two at the most got away un- 

 gathered, the others being dead out of bounds. The miss aud-out 

 which followed, and which was won by Ivins with the capital score of 

 16 straight, was composed of Ivins, Ballard and two men whose names 

 are well known to pigeon Bhooters of this country, one of them also 

 being the possessor of a capital record before Euronean traps— Fred 

 Hoey and Edgar Gt, Murphy. Following are the scores made on that 

 day:

The result of the above meeting was the making of a four-handed 

 match between the shooters named, the teams being Hoey and Mur- 

 phy vs. Ballard and Ivins, and the conditions: to shoot on Aug. 30, at 

 2 P. M., $500 a side, play or pay, 30yds. all, 50yds. boundary, 100 live 

 birds per man, 200 to the team, Hurlinghnm rules governed, with the 

 exception that a shooter was privileged to choose whether his bird 

 should be gathered by dog or man. 



A BIG CONTRACT. 



When the match was first made public, there was a perceptible 

 murmur of astonishment at the apparent temerity of the backer of 

 Ballard and Ivins in "stacking up," to use an accepted phrase, 

 against two such shots as Hoey and Murphy are known to be. The 

 records of those two men are well known and their capabilities have 

 been respected by shooters when making matches. It is true that 

 Ivins has shown that he can kill good fast birds. On April 4, 5, of this 

 year, he showed up well in Ihe Grand American Handicap, killing 18 

 straight before he missed, a fast circling outgoer from No. 2 trap 

 beating him in the nineteenth round. His next six birds were killed 

 in good style, the score showing his total to be 24 out of 25. Later, on 

 July 6, he won the Hollywood Futurity Handicap, at West End, N. J., 

 scoring again 24 out of 25, and tieing George Work, of the Carteret 

 Gun Club, and Junius H. Davis, of the Riverton Gun Club, for first, 

 second and third moneys and the cup. They agreed to divide the pot, 

 shooting off at 10 birds each for the cup. Ivins scored 10 to Davis's 

 9 and Work's 8, thus winning the trophy. But Ballard was an un- 

 known quantity. His score of 47 out of 50, given above, was not gener- 

 ally known, and his record in the Hollwood Futurity was not encour- 

 aging. In that race, standing on the 26yds. mark, he lost 4 out of his 

 first 6 birds, 3 of them dead out of bounds, and retiring. It should bB 

 mentioned that in that race Ivins stood at 28yds., Davis at 27 and 

 Work at 30yds. On paper, therefore, it looked something like a cinch 

 for Hoey and Murphy when the match now under discussion was first 

 announced. The result shows that the backer of Ivins and Ballard, 

 who was none other we believe that Mr. Percy Dobbins, of New York 

 City and Long Branch, knew pretty well what he was doing. 



THET WERE GOOD BIRDS. 



In preparing for the match, Phil Daly, Jr., and Harry Chanfrau, 

 "Kit, the Arkansas Traveler," who is at present summering at the 

 Elkwood Inn, worked hard to secure the comfort of the contestants 

 and spectators, the latter arriving in considerable numbers. Gilbert, 

 of Philadelphia, had been requisitioned for 1,000 of his bast birds, out 

 of which 400 were to be selected for the match. To insure proper 

 handling, Gilbert sent his son along to look after the birds. As for 

 the birds themselves, they were a splendid lot of flyers, all blue and 

 not a "peep" among them. With a wind to aid them, it is safe to say 

 that the lowest score made that afternoon would have been hard to 

 equal. As it was, with a wind that blew from the southeast, the 

 traps facing slightly to the north of east, they furnished as fine a lot 

 of fast, twisting birds as we have seen for many a long day. Flying 

 low against the wind, they imitated the flight of an English snipe to 

 perfection, but such ruses seldom availed them much. As a natural 

 result of the direction of the wind, left-quartering incomers were, in 

 the majority of instances, extremely fast birds, making the boundary 

 seem very close to No. 1 trap. 



M1LO IS A GREAT RETRIEVER. 



Among the other preliminaries, it may be mentioned that Mr. John 

 S. Hoey was appointed referee, Mr. Hoey's selection being a natural 

 one and entirely warranted by his work in like positions during the 

 past. The retrieving, except when a man was called for, was done by 

 an Irish setter, Milo, two and a halt years old, the property of J. 

 Vone Emmons, secretary of the Central Gun Club, of Long Branch, 

 and by Spot, an English setter, the property of Ivins. Without wish- 

 ing to detract from the merits of the work done by Ivins's dog, that 

 performed by Milo deserves special mention, being of a kind too sel- 

 dom witnessed at such gatherings. Mr. Emmons has his dog under 

 the most perfect control. There is no need to hold him at the score, 

 whether it is his turn to retrieve the bird or not. He won't go unless 

 he gets the word. Two or three times he was sent after a bird 

 through an error, "man" having been called for. A shrill whistle 

 from his master's lips arrested him instantly, and he returned to his 

 post with tail wagging and a smile in his eyes. It was extremely 

 pretty work and called forth the applause of the crowd on more 

 than one occasion. 



Two by-birds per man were allowed by the referee, and then Fred 

 Hoey was called to the score. He killed a fast bird from No. 2 trap 

 and Ivins took his place. He drew an incomer from No. 1, which was 

 also scored. Then Edgar Murphy stepped to the score and snapped .a 

 bird over No. 1 trap, not giving the bird a chance to declare itself. 

 Ballard's bird, a right-quarterer from No. 4, was then grassed, Ballard 

 shooting while he masticated a mouthful of lunch, having arrived too 

 late on the grounds to eat his lunch in a more leisurely manner. 



THE FIRST MISS. 



The first miss came quickly, Hoey slipping up on an easy one from 

 No. 2. The next miss came from the other side, Ivins losing his sixth 

 bird, a fast left-quarterer from No. 3, dead over the boundary. That 

 tied the score, but the tie was soon broken, Hoey losing another, a 

 driver from No. 4, but by no means a fast bird. Whether he hit it or 

 not, the bird didn't lose a feather. Then Murphy lost his twelfth bird, 

 a towerer from No. 5 that was hit hard with the first, but slobbered 

 with the second, the bird coming back over his head and falling dead 

 out of bounds, This put Ivins and Ballard two ahead, but the hotting, 

 which at the start was 60 to 50 on Hoey and Murphy, did not change 

 at all. Ivins reduced the lead to one by losing his fourteenth bird, a 

 oircler to the left from No. 1, on which he used poor judgment. The 

 bird fell dead on the track just over the boundary. Ballard, who had 

 been shooting a great gait all this time, and using his second barrel 

 with teUing effect, tied the score when his eighteenth bird, a fast one 

 from No. 3, carried his load over the boundary. Fred Hoey, who was 

 having decidedly the worst of the birds, promptly gave the other side 

 a lead of two at the end of the 25th round by dropping his nineteenth 

 and twenty -fourth birds; the latter, a circling outgoer to the left, was 

 apparently untouched. The score at the quarter-pole was therefore: 

 Hoey 21, Murphy 24; total 45; Ivins 23, Ballard 24; total 47. 



SECOND SERIES. 



In the 26th round Ivins lost another bird dead out of bounds. The 

 bird was a very fast left-quartering driver from No. 2, and was hit hard 

 with both barrels. Murphy's 31st bird caused the next cypher to be 

 registered, the bird, a quick one from No. 1, just carrying the shot 

 over the low wire boundary. As Ballard missed his 32d, a fast left- 

 quarterer from No. 1, which he shot behind with both barrels, and as 

 Ivins missed his bird in the succeeding round, the score was again a 

 tie, a fresh impulse being given to the betting. Fred Hoey, however, 

 made a bad break, losing his 34th and 35th birds, putting his opponents 

 two to the good once more. His 34th bird was a slow circling incomer 

 to the left, a bird that ninety out of a hundred ought to have killed, 

 and one that he won't miss again in a month of Sundays. His 35th, on 

 the other hand, was a corker of a type that we see too few of nowa- 

 days. During the remainder of the second round no further change 

 was made, as, although IvinB lost his 3Sth bird dead out of bounds, 

 Hoey evened up that miss by losing his 45th, a bird that surely ought 

 to have been easily scored. Thus the halt-mile post found both parties 

 in the same position that they were at the end of the first 26— two 

 ahead for Ballard and Ivins. 



THIRD SERIES. 



In the third series Fred Hoey began what proved to be a remarkable 

 exhibition of his skill with the gun. It is true that both he and Mur- 

 phy lost their 5.3d birds, thus giving Ballard and Ivins a substantial 

 lead of four, but after that miss Hoey settled down and made the 

 longest run of the day— 42 straight. Hoey's miss was an excusable 

 one, the bird twisting like a quail in thick brush; Murphy's bird was 

 one that caused an exclamation of surprise to escape from the crowd 

 when they saw that it had been missed, as it was an easy one. Agaia 

 the lead was reduced to two by Ballard's miss of his 9th and Ivins's 

 miss of his 10th bird in this series, the birds being respectively In the 

 59th and 60ch rounds of the match. Ballard's bird should have been 

 killed, but he handicapped himself too much by waiting a long time 

 with his second barrel. Ivins's bird was one of the sort that "we all 

 miss when we get them." Murphy dropped his 63d and 68th birds, 

 neutralizing the lass two misses and pHclng the other side once more 

 two in the lead. Ballard drew a very fast low-flying driver from No. 

 5 trap in the 71st round and let it get away from' him, being too care- 

 ful with that great second barrel of his. The close of the third series 

 thus saw a gain of one for the Ballard-Ivins combination, the scores 

 standing: Hoey 67, Murphy 70, total 137; Ivins 69, Ballard 71 ; total 140. 



FOURTH SERIES. 



The spectators had long since become aware that they were in for a 

 shooting match, and at this point every shot was watched with intense 

 interest, the applause being both frequent and well merited, some ex- 

 cellent work being done by all the men, but particularly by Hoey, who 

 wag taking them all alike and downing his birds in capital time. The 

 first nine birds of this series were all scored to each man. Then came 

 a break. Ivins got a little slow and appeared as if the strain was tell- 

 ing upon him. His 85th, an easy bird, got away from him, and his 87th 

 also added a cypher to his score. As Murphy had lost his 8fith dead 

 out of bounds, the lead was still two for the other side. Ivins's H8th 

 bird gave him heart disease, flying to the extreme outer boundary, 

 where it was retrieved by Dr. Knowlton, who was acting as handler for 

 Ivins, It was a piece of good luck that seemed to put his eyes all right 

 again, as he killed out straight, The end of the 91st round saw Ballard 

 and Ivins still two in the lead, but Ballard reduced the lead to only a 

 single bird by losing his92d, a swift skimmer from No. 4 lhat zigzagged 

 as he flew toward Branchport. Each man was applauded loudly as he 

 killed his birds in the next three bounds, the tension on the feelings of 

 the spectators being too great for many of them. This was evidenced 

 when in the 95th round Fred Hoey's bird, an extraordinary fast, twist- 

 ing left-quartering driver from No. 2 trap, carried both charges of 

 shot out of bounds. It was then that several of the spectators forgot 

 all their claims .to sportsmanship and cheered, because that miss 

 made their dollars all the safer. After Ivins had killed his bird, Bal- 

 lard said something to the referee, whereupon Mr. Hoey turned to the 

 crowd and said, "Gentlemen, we don't object to your applauding a 

 good shot; but we do object to your applauding when a man misses." 

 Then the other part of the crowd cheered, and none more loudly than 

 Messrs. Ballard and Ivins. The 96th round saw three cyphers added to 

 the score. Hoey, who may have been upset by the behavior of the 

 crowd in the previous round, let an easy one get over the boundary; 

 Murphy drew a corker from No. 1 that was calculated to beat anybody, 

 while Ballard scored his worst miss of the day by letting a simple- 

 minded bird get away untouched. With the lead of four against them 

 again, and only three more birds each to shoot at, the cause of Hoey 

 and Murphy was a lost one. All killed those birds with the exception 

 of Ballard, who lost his last one, another easy bird, dead out of bounds. 

 A good amount of money had been wagered that Ballard's score 

 would beat Murphy's. Murphy finished with 93, while Ballard had 93 

 to his credit, and only had to kill to win the bets that had been made. 

 As it was, he tied Murphy's score, losing his bird, as stated above. 



PROBABLY A RECORD. 



Thus ended a great match, and one that has probably established a 

 record. We can call to mind no other four-handed match in which all 

 the contestants have scored 90 or better. When the quality of the 

 birds is taken into consideration, the records of the men are very little 

 short of phenomenal. Fred. Hoey's position as lowest scorer is un- 

 doubtedly due to his having been accustomed while in Europe to birds 

 that are nard and fast flyers all the time; the somewhat uneven char- 

 acter of American birds handicapped him. He killed his difficult 

 birds as well as ever; it was the easy ones that he let get away from 

 him. Murphy shot very well indeed. Considering how long he has 

 baen away from the traps, he showed excellent judgment and did 

 some very quick work, killing his birds cleanly. We understand that 

 neither Ivins nor Ballard have ever shot a 100-bird race before. If 

 that is the case they flew at high game, and what is more came out on 

 top. Ivins shot well throughout, with tb» exception of that small 

 period covered by the eighty-fifth to the eighty-eighth rounds, when 

 there seemed some danger of his going to pieces. His score of 92 was 

 the result of sterling work, and stamps him as a man to be respected 

 by handicappers in the future. Ballard, who is a stranger in these 

 parts, won a great many friends by his free and easy bearing at all 

 times, never for one instant losing his self-control, but steadily pump- 

 ing in his deadly second barrel with telling effect. Edgar Murphy is 

 unquestionably a fine second-barrel shot, but in our opinion Ballard is 

 his superior in that respect. He may be slow with it, but he is very 

 sure; it is true he lost a bird or two when quicker work with his 

 second might have scored them. Still 93 out of 100 first-class birds 

 shows that he did not hold the gun very far out of line. 



THE FALL OF THE TRAP3. 



It is always a point of interest to know juat how the traps fell to 

 each man. Although in the detailed score given below the trap number 

 is given in the upper line of each series, yet for the sake of sparing 

 readers of Forest and Stream the trouble of figuring it for them- 

 selves the following table is given: 



No. 1. No. 2. No. 3. No. 4. No. 5. 



Hoey 18 30 19 14 19 



Murphy 27 19 16 16 22 



Ivins ..18 18 23 26 15 



Ballard 30 19 13 20 18 



93 86 71 76 74 



In examining these figures it should be borne in mind that a fairly 

 strong wind blew almost directly from No. 5 trap toward the shooter. 



THE GUNS AND LOADS. 



In the matter of guns and powders used the following will be of in- 

 terest: Fred Hoey— Purdey, with (we believe) 48^rs of Schultze in 

 an Eley (London) shell; Murphy— Francotte, E. C., U. M. C. Trap 

 shell; Ivins— Francotte, Schultze, V. L, & D. Special; Ballard— 

 Greener, same powder and shell as Ivins. 



THE SCORE IN DETAIL. 



Below is given the score in detail, a perusal of which will readily 

 show the flight of the bird, number of the trap and whether the bh d 

 was killed with the first or second barrel, or whether it got away 

 dead out of bounds being marked as usual by a small black dot. If it 

 can be beaten for completeness we would like to know it in order that 

 we may be in a position to give our readers the best of everything. 

 The high runs were: Hoey, 42 and 10; Murphy, 21, 18, 17, 11 and 10- 

 Ivins. 24, 22, 13 and 11; Ballard, 26, 20, 17, 13 and 11. The score is as 

 follows:

Trap around Altoona. 



Altoona, Pa., Aug. 24.— The first of the series of races between six- 

 men teams of the Altoona Gun Club and the Huntingdon (Pa.) Gun 

 Club took place on the latter's grounds to-day. As previously stated 

 in a former issue of Forest and Stream, these contests were gotten 

 up at the instance of the Huntingdon Club, which is a new organiza- 

 tion and desires by coming In contact with its more experienced 

 Mountain City neighbors to gain such information as will enable it to 

 become prominent in shooting circlts. It has some very good young 

 material, and I shall be very much disappointed if in next year's tour- 

 naments they are not figuring among first place men. 



The club gave us indeed a right royal reception on this occasion; in 

 fact, the town was at the disposal of the score or more of Altoona 

 representatives, and a lasting friendship will no doubt be the result 

 The officers of the home club are: Al Flemming. President; R K Fos- 

 ter, Secretary; L. R. Leister, Treasurer, and A. A. Williams, Captain 



The grounds are conveniently located just outside the borough 

 limits along the old Pennsylvania canal. They have a full set of blue- 

 rock traps and one of Charlie Hebbard's empire wire pulls. The ar- 

 rangement of buildings and fixtures can be improved upon and no 

 doubt will be in the near future. The threatening weather and final 

 rainstorm kept a number of the more tender shooters at the hotel 

 during the sweepstake events and marred somewhat the pleasure of 

 the occasion. As it was the entries reached the twenty mark The 

 purses in sweeps were divided 50, 30 and 20 per cant. All the sweeps 

 were 10-target events, known angles. The scores follow :
