MILWAUKEE BIG WOLF SHOOT. 



MiwAUKEE, Wis., Nor. 25.— Mr. S. A . Tucker, representative 

 for so long of the Parker gun, and one of the most esteemed 

 shooters of the country, this evening said a few things to the 

 writer which will do admirably as comment on the Milwaukee 

 tournament now closing. 



'•Tournament is not much good any longer," said Mr. Tucker, 

 "and everybody knows iv. This tournament is a puccesa in only 

 one way, and that is as a success for the shooters. The $500 added 

 money is a price for their attendance, and they are liere. But 

 who are they f They are the old familiar rounders you meet every- 

 where, say half nf the fifty men who break 75 per cent, of the tar- 

 gets and burn 75 percent, of the ammunition used in the trap 

 shoots of America. You don't see a half dozen Milwaukee shoot- 

 ers here, and you don't see one young shooter. They are scared 

 away, and they well may be. This is a crowd of wolves, and they 

 will get all there is to eat. You never saw such a systematic 

 dividing and dropping for place in your life. There is no sport to 

 it. No one is here for the sport. It is not a sporting event. 

 Nothing is shot to a finish, and the only question is for the com- 

 bine to figure out the best possible divisions, and to shoot so as to 

 get into the softest place. 



"I wish your paper, which is fearless enough in anything it 

 thinks is right, would take up this question. The time is coming 

 when we will have to have honest shooting. This way of shooting 

 is not honest. It makes trap shooting as rotten or more rotten 

 than any other form of sport that is practiced. It horse racing 

 were half as corrupt tournament shooting, the public would 

 not endure it. It will not endure this sort ot shooting when it 

 comes to realize it, and that is why I say there should be a stand 

 made against it. 



"I don't believe the amateur can be protected by any system of 

 handicapping. He comes to a slioot with his eyes open. But I do 

 believe that croolied shooting and dropping for place can be done 

 away with in one season. Of course if managemenxs do not care 

 to take this stand there is no use talking, but if they will, they 

 can atone step go far toward restoring the confidence of theama- 

 teur in shooting tournaments. Let the rule be, the three highest 

 scores take the money, no division of ties allowed. No one could 

 drop for place tlien. Or let managements promptly bar any man 

 detected missing a target or bird intentionally, and ask him to 

 leave the grounds. As it is now, the boys say that because a few 

 will drop back in this way all have to do it to protect their own 

 money. I don't doubt tSiis is true, but if the bar on place-shoot- 

 ing were once established I think square shooting would natu- 

 ally come to the front and our events become much more sports- 

 manlike. Of course not all such dropping could be detected, but 

 a man could not deliberately fire in theair, or cut the shot out of 

 his cartridge, or not put any shell in his gun on his iast bird, and 

 a good and sharp committee could make a man shoot again on a 

 suspected bird until they had evidence enough one way or the 

 other, 



"I believe if the management would hang up the announce- 

 ent, 'No handicap, open to the world, honest shooting only,' 

 it would more justly invite the confidence of the general public 

 than any recent tournament has! done. An indifferent shooter 

 need not be a fool. He may not want, to present his money to a 

 combine. But if he thought he stood a show to scratch into a 

 good hole alone once in a while, without one or two experts drop- 

 ping back on him, he might be willing to keep on shooting for a 

 while." 



Mr. Tucker speaks sturdily and wisely in this. I do not doubt 

 that many of the gang of wolves, among whom I have many 

 friends, will think this is haid doctrine, but at the same time 

 there is not one of them who will not admit in his heai-t that it is 

 true and just. There never a was shoot where all the arts of the 

 "naachme" were more openly and unblushingly practiced than at 

 this one. As to class of the shooting, it is enough to say that there 

 were present such Western shooters as Helkes, Budd, Elliott, 

 Parmalee, Grim, McMurchy, Geo. Kleinman, Tucker, Lindsley, 

 Rexroat. Sanford, Bingham, Stannard, Williamson, Eich, Anson. 

 Dicks, Organ, Mussey, Bennett of Kansas City, Ackerman of 

 Nebraska, etc., etc. As our friend Eddy Bingham would say. 

 these were "not overlooking anything." Among the above names 

 are those of a few men who came out for the tun of it. or out of 

 courtesy to Dick Merrill. The others were there for revenue 

 only. 



The shoot, as viewed from the professional shooter's standpoint, 

 was a success, inasmuch as the added money made the purses fat 

 things for the shooters, but for the management it was not a suc- 

 cesstul affair. Dick Merrill will probably lose $150 to |2f«j on his 

 tournament, and his associates having choerfully declined finan- 

 cial complications, this loESwill be a personal one for him. He 

 was disappointed that the Milwaukee sbooters did not support 

 the tournament. The South Side Gun Club, of Milwaukee, did 

 not give this tournament, but should have supported it. It bus 

 oyer 100 members, but of these only three or four, I believe, 

 attended the shoot. The crowd of wolves scared them out. Mr 

 Merrill was disgusted at this, but after all how could he expect a 

 different result? He hung up too much money. He split on the 

 rock which has wrecked many a tournament of late, and tried to 

 ran a shoot which should invite the wolves and the lambs also 

 The lambs declined to mingle. If Mr. Merrill had sat down and 

 mailed checks direct to the rounders early in the week he would 

 have pleased them quite as well, would have avoided a tiresome 

 formality, and would not have had to stand out in the cold four 

 daysrefereeing matches !is he did. I think this system of mailing 

 out checks would simplify tournament matters very much in a 

 shoot open to the world. The motto, "Open to the world" sounds 

 liberal and very American, but it is a very misleading motto 



Open to the world" really means "Open to a dozen shooters who 

 are exercising a trade, and who will drop and divide equitably 

 with each other to the exclusion of those who shoot for sport and 

 not for business." An open shoot is really a closed shoot. It is 

 an airtight thing. It is an hermetieal. airtight, lead pipe, sand- 

 bag einch, If you can figure just how that looks. The South Side 

 Gun Club was on to it. Now, if ?Ir. Merrill and the general 

 public and the wolves themselves will kindly refer back to Mr 

 Tucker's remarks, they will, I think, find in them cheap and nour- 

 ishing food for thought. 



The accommodations for the shooters at National Park were 

 good. Ihe target background is poor, hut the live bird grounds 

 are good. The live birds were a mixed lot, of course, but included 

 some soreechers. Cap Anson found some of these latter, wnich 

 caused him to gaze over the fence with a look of mingled disdain 

 and surprise. Live birds were shot from King traps, at 20 cents 

 the U. b. pigeon targets at 3 cents. The weather was wintery for 

 the most part. Wednesday, the first day, was raw and windy. 

 Ihursday, rhanksgiving day, was the only pleasant day of the 

 shoot, and was fair and warmer. Friday ana Saturday came off 

 blustery and blizzardy. so that shooting was rather a duty than a 

 pleasure. Under such circumstances it was personally a great 

 comfort to belong on a newspaper like Fokest and Stream 

 because it has such a red hot circulation. ' ' 



Although this gaj' crowd of wolves are devoid of conscience 

 altogether, physically speaking it would be hard to -find a finer 

 lot of men, and socially every shooter in the land knows them for 

 the .loiliest and most companionable aggregation out of iail It 

 IS no sport to attend a wolf tournament, because the boys won't 

 Shoot t9 a finish and show us any fun; but there is a lot of pleasure

' Dick Merrill -When will I give another tournament like this in 

 Milvowka? Not in the vinter ven the days are short—not in a 

 thousand years! 



S. A. TitcTfer— That game of billiards McMurchy and I played 

 against Heikes and Willard was the only sqtm'e game those fel- 

 lows were in this week. No sir, Mac and I didn't drop for second 

 place. 



Frank Parmalee (translated)— Did you hear that dream Jim El- 

 liott had after his Chicago matches? Well. Jim dreamed he went 

 to heaven, and St. Peter says, says he, 'Who are you?' 'I'm Jim 

 Elliott, a shooter from Kansas City,' says Jim. *0h no! Y'oumay 

 be from Kansas City,' St. Peter says, says he. 'but you're no 

 shooter.' (Not translated)— "S-s-say, I was t-t.-tickled to d-d-deatb 

 w-w-when the r-r-ref-ref -refer, referee called 'N-n-n-no. no b-b- 

 bird' on me, that time the b-h-bird walked oft'. T s-s-stood there 

 t-t-ten, ten m-miuutes t-tryin' to say "N-n-n, no (you know what 

 I mean) m-m-mys self!" 



R. B. Organ (referring to a dachshund, in the lunch tent)— Here's 

 Dick Merrill's prize dog, Paul Bo. Bow-legged enough, isn't 

 he? 



0. E. WiMftrd- Was it you and Roll Organ that worked a con- 

 fldenc« game on Milt Lindsley, matching coppers? Well, a Jet- 

 seyman never ought to be allowed to come out into this country 

 without a guardian. 



Mary Jane Eich— I have shot the choke out of my right arm- 

 hurt the bone somehow. Guess I'll have to lay off for six 

 months. 



Mr. Bennett, of Ka7i,ws City— Why is my arm tied up? AVhy, a 

 fellow shot me full of No. 8 shot, out quail hunting in Kansas the 

 other day. He put 150 shot holes in mv coat. Most of them were 

 stopped by a silk shirt I had on, but I caught it in the hand and 

 wrist. Tarn always going to wear a silk shirt out hunting after 

 this. No, I was not near a chicken roost. 



Jim Elliott, of Kansas Oity—W. W. Greener says my new pair 

 ot Greeners are the finest he ever sent to America. Will I shoot 

 them in Chicago? Say. if I should come to Chicago and sav "Five 

 hundred dollars" out loud, all the Chicago shooters would go 

 jump in the lake. Wait till I eat this man Fulford, then I'm 

 coming to Chicago, and I'll hang out a large shingle painted red 

 all over. 



Cap Anson — These trap shooters make me dizzy. In base ball I 

 can wink my eye for a hundred, and the bet goes. In trap shoot- 

 ing it's all talk and no business transacted. If I pull out my 

 money to make a little bet, I haA'e to run to catch sight of the fel- 

 low's coat tails around the corner. 



Charlie Ch-im—l will shoot, run, jump, hop-step-and-jump, 

 wrestle, kick, hitch-and-kick, dip, play mumble-peg or marbles 

 with any man, woman or child on earth, and I won't drop for 

 place either. 



Eddie BiJifl/iaw— That's me, too. I'm a dead game sport. I'll 

 shoot anything, pigeons in the winter time and craps in the sum- 

 mer time. What! Why, of course, pigeons are better in the 

 winter. 



Rolla Heikes— I ain't sayin' a word, am I ? 



Michael Gassliui ScTO/ord— No, the development of my left eyelid 

 did not come from winking to another fellow for a divide. I 

 wouldn't drop for place— that is— (and he winked the other eye). 



George Kleinman— Yes, I have on ;my overshoes, but I left my 

 skates at home, it seems like. 



Charlie Bwdd-Don't believe a word Tucker tells you about my 

 horse. It's a corking good horse, if you get where the road is all 

 downhill. Got a colt, too. I'm quite a farmer now. You don't 

 want to believe anything Tucker tells you about my roUing stock. 

 I ain't going to take him out riding any more, nohow. It's too 

 hard on the horse. 



G. W, Rexroat— Gome and see me. I've got some quails and 

 some guns and some dogs. 



B. Dic?f5— Milvowka ist eine sobOae, hein? Reminds me of Evans- 

 ton, where the theological school is. 



Jack Rwhie— Ain't you shy i cents on this change, cashier? 



Plnniber Read (of the ticket agent)— What time does the 4:1.5 

 train so out? 



The ^9cnf— Three seventy-five, vou son of a gun! 



The n^o!r6.3— Good-bye, Dickie. When you want to be an "angel' 

 again, let us know. 



Dickie— 1 don't want to be an angel any more. Not in a (hou- 

 sand years. E. Hough,

Thanksgiving Day at Peekskill. 



For a raw chilly day, with the wind blowing a gale from the 

 north, and the thermometer ten degrees below the freezing point. 

 The Peekskill Gun Club turned out strong to enjoy, if possible, a 

 live bird shoot. 



The two doctors, Horton and Mason, chose alternately each a 

 man from the numbers present, until all were taken, several of 

 whom had npver before faced a trap, and thus two teams were 

 the contpstants. The defeated ones agreeing to give a pigeon 

 suoper— if enough birds were killed. 



The birds proved a strong lot, most of them "Homers" once 

 upon the wing, went off like a streak. Dr. Hon on shot extremely 

 well, some of his kills were marvelous. One of Halsted's birds 

 after receiving the contents of both barrela towered to a height 

 of 30 or 40ft. and there hovered for at least half a minute. It was 

 amusing to see Johnny hunting through his pockets for a third 

 shell to use on the hoverer. The bird finally sailed off and fell 

 dead just inside the bounds. Dr. Mason had hard luck— no less 

 than three of his birds fell dead just outside. Following is the 

 score of kills out of ten, excepting CoL Robertson and C. Lent 

 who shot at five each:
