DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



Oenui.. A1 Sp»ngler, of Spangler Crimper fame, is probably as widely 

 and as favorably known as any sport.sm.in in this country, and we 

 c'onaider ourselves safe in assfr'tipg that the following item from the 

 Syracuse, N. Y. Courier, will bp read with pleasure by all his friends 

 and that they will feel happier in knowing that "Al" is likely to derive 

 a big income as the result of his genius: 



"With the advent of anew pneumatic tire into the 'cycling world, 

 springs into existence the Ppangler Pneumiitic Tire Company of New 

 York, its worth and magnitude to he adjudged from the fact that 

 those prominently interested are George Gould, the railway magnate, 

 A. Kennedy Child, well known to 'c.yclers and S. Y. L Hommedieu, 

 president of the Columbia Rubber Company. It was only last week 

 that papers were drawn up and articles of incorporation applied for, 

 although it was well in the wind all summer that a new tire organiza- 

 tion would be effected with pT-omioent capitalists at the head of [it. 

 TTie capital of the concern will aegregate 5200,000. The inventor of 

 the tire is a Syracu.':e geniu?. A. E. Spangler, whf se name has become 

 famous in cpiiVffi ion with the Spangler cartridge crimper. The tire, 

 which is of the inner tube ccnstruetion, can be attached or detached 

 to any style of a rim. The method of attachment is exceedingly 

 .^simple, dispensing with cement, wires, nuts, bolts, screws and the 

 common process of inflation. Either side of the shoe may be 

 detached for a space of Oin. at any point, and the tube pulled out, 

 patched at the puncture, and returned to position without disturbing 

 any other part of the tire. It is impossible for the shoe to 'roll' or 

 'creep' the one-hundredth part of an inch. It weighs no more than 

 any other pneumntic tire and is quite attractive in appearance, being 

 much like the Pimlop in shape and breadth of surface. The outer 

 cover is provided with flanges on either side and held firmly in 

 l)lace by harrow steel tiands, fitted within the edges of the rim. " The 

 tire has been put to practical test. It has been ridden more than 100 

 miles over the roughest roads and was enasted down one of the 

 steepest hills in the city. It was run deflated 30 miles up hill and 

 down, over the stoniest part of the country. The tire will he 

 manufactured b3' the Akron Rubber Company. Samples are already 

 in circulation, and an order for 20.000 pairs was placed last week by 

 a large and well known manufacturer. The inventor is a prominent 

 sportsman and is authority on matters pertaining to gunnery. He is 

 captain of the Syracuse Athletic Association Gun Team and was 

 connected with the Hunter and Lefever Arms Companies for several 

 years." 



The following circular explains itself: "Shillington, Pa., Oct. 2. — I 

 take pleasure in stating that I have completed arraneements for an 

 open-to all sweepstake Cno handicap) at 25 live birds, $20 entry, to be

C, H. TOWNSEND. 



PENNSYLVANIA THIRD ANNUAL. 



Harbisbdro, Sept. 26.— This city, the capital of Pennsylvania, on the 

 Susquehanna River in Dauphin county, is one. of the prettiest cities in 

 the State. On the outjskirts of the town, at Sixth and Mackey streets, 

 is the Maple Grove Hotel, within one block of the base ball grounds, 

 where the third annual tournament of the Pennsylvania State Sports- 

 men's Association opened this morning under very favorable circum- 

 stances. Our old friend M. M. Grove, the genial proprietor of the 

 Maple Grove, was on hand to give the boys a hearty welcome, a great 

 many of whom he remembers from three years ago. when the Harris- 

 burg Shooting Association eave a very successful three-days' tourna- 

 ment at this same place. The new houses, of which there are a great 

 number just around here, show how the towm is extending, and the 

 improvement of this hotel shows that our old friend Grove has been 

 dealt with very kindly as far as this world's business goes— over a 

 hundred new houses built within one block of this hotel in the last six 

 months. Speaking of the tournament of three vears ago brings up 

 some recollections, among them of the way .1. A. R. Elliott, the noted 

 pigeon shot of Kansas City, came on the grounds unknown to any one 

 present at the time he made his entry for the shoot under the name of 

 Dr. Gains. W. Fred Quimhy, who Is known to almost evei-v shooter 

 in the United States, as Elliott stepped to the score to shoot rwhen 

 Fred's eye lit on him for the first time), exclaimed, "Why, Jim Elliott, 

 you old rascal, this is a nice way to come among a lot of green shool - 

 ers." And after a great deal of chajfing he introduced Mr. Elliott all 

 around. 



Another one whom T met for the first time then and who is here to- 

 day is Capt. A. W. Money, who at that time was just introducing his 

 now famous E. 0. powder, which has made great strides in popularity 

 in so short a time 



The tournament is under the manaeement of Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, 

 of Pittsburg, through the courtes.v of the Interstate Manufacturers' 

 and Dealers' Association, and he has everything in good shape. There 

 fire two sets of expert bluerock traps, with the famous Pau' North 

 electric pulls, in position facing northwest, with blackboard.^ for 

 scoring, dividing the two sets. Shooting was started at 8:45. ju^t 

 fifteen minutes later than advertised, and from that time until dark 

 everything rfu just as smoothly as a well-oiled machine. No one 

 could give better satisfaction than Manager Shaner. and every one is 

 talking about how impartial he is in all his decisions. He is very 

 ably assisted by the Harrisburg Iboys. who as a rule, are thorough 

 sportsmen and gentlemen. Jas. H. and H. F. Worden. J. Dinger, Harry 

 Dill. Dave McCormick. John Dustin and several others. We all miss 

 the noble frame and gonial face of the ex-president of the association, 

 Mr. O. E. H. Brelsford, and many are the wishes for his good health 

 and success in his new place of residence, which is Chicago. We 

 also miss the noted trap shot E. D. Fulford from his old stanipine 

 ground; and there is another of the eld shooters who always did 

 everything in his power to make visitors welcome, now living in 

 Philadelphia, J. S. Nutt, better known by the shooters as Commo- 

 dore Nutt. This wa.s a trio of good shooters and they are a big loss 

 to the Harrisburg Club in team shooting, althoueh others are now 

 filling their places. One of the most con.spicuous figures on the 

 grounds is Wm. R. Fieles, of Christiana, who is also captain of the 

 Harrisburg Club. He has on the broad-brimmed black hat that 

 Thomas Keller bought for him at Knoxville last May and a Thurman 

 shooting blouse, on the back of which is painted in oil a setter dog on 

 "S point, and over it the words ' This is" and under it "my business;" 

 and it is a novel idea of his to advertise his business that is very 

 taking. 



Chas. Smith ("Dutcby") of Plainfleld, also cuts a prominent figure, 

 wdth his ornamented hat and his jolly goodnature, which makes him a 

 favorite wherever he goes. Fred Quimby ia also here; this is the only 

 Quimby, and he is talking, or at least trying to talk everybody on the 

 grounds to death, but has not succeeded yet; but has borrowed quite 

 a lot of cigars already, and is likely to get some more before he goes 

 home. Wm. and Jas. Wolstencro'ft and J. A. Rust, of Philadelphia, 

 make a trio of shooters who are hard to beat and they are all there 

 shooting in good form. Wm. H. Paddock, the gun man at J. T.Bailey 

 & Go 's, of Philadelphia, is looking around to-day, and he has very 

 generously sent to this shoot a large tent for the use of and as head- 

 quarters of the Philadelphia shooters and others, and by the way it is 

 being used is certainly appreciated 



Harvey McMurchy has with him a new Smith ejector gun, made for 

 Mr. Elliott Smiih, the president of the American Wood Powder Co.; 

 and it is a beauty. It is one of their highest grade guns, the finish of 

 which is certainly a credit to the numufncturer. 



Neaf Apgar received a hearty w elcome from all his old friends; they 

 are all glad to see Neaf at a ttmrnarnent. Paul North, of Cleveland, 

 is looking well and hearty as ever and is glad because his electric trap- 

 pulls are giving such general satisfaction. E. K. Kniskern, of AVilkes- 

 barre, is also making lots of friends here for his new Wilke.sbarreham- 

 merless gun. 



W. H. .Skiimer. of Buffalo, N. Y.. is showing a single barrel repeat- 

 ing shotgim with a very novel arrangement for taking it apart and 

 carrying it in a victory case. 



Harry Thurman is receiving a great deal of encouragement and a 

 lot of orders for his new No. U shooting blouse which has a high 

 sweater collar. 



E H. Burbidge represents the little State of Connecticut at this 

 shoot, and if all the shooters of that State shoot as well as he, they 

 are a good lot. 



L. W. Gillett, the handsome president of the John F. Weiler Gun 

 Club, of Allentown, Pa., is taking in the shooting. S. L. Sharp, 

 Ephrata, is shooting along at a good gait, as are several others from 

 the same place. Among them are R, W. Biekley, L. M. Weist, J. B. 

 C/Offroth; and from the Lancaster Gun Club are B. F. Taylor, H. E 

 Anderson, G. and S. Hoffman and J. A. Wilson, of Franklin, Pa., who 

 certainly enjoys himself and tries to make others enjoy themselves 

 as much as any one person I know of. 



H. A. W. Matz, president and grand hustler of the Reading Shoot 

 ing Association, is shooting very well and with him are Oscar Mellott 

 and Jim Schenck. 



Emmerson Miller, Ed. Ulmer and Oscar Acker are among the on- 

 lookers from Allentown. Major E. L. Gilmer, of Greensboro, N. 0., 

 one of the ever welcome men from the South, is along with our ol d 

 friend. Col Anthony, of Charlotte. N. C, one of the Southern gentle- 

 men it always makes one feel glad to call his friend. G. W. Haddox 

 and his brother, of Winchester, also old friends of the Forest and 

 Stkkam, are both euj'^ying themselves at the traps. 



Wopsononick Bill or W. G. Clark, of Altoona, and Sheriff G. F. Bell, 

 John Killets, Ed. Kathman, Wm. Sands, all from their mountain 

 homes, are here in company with Ed. Banks. 



E. Rohrbach, of WUliamsport, and Nelson Hughes, whom your corre- 

 spondent will never forget for the kindness and welcome bestowed by 

 him when at Williamsport last spring. There are a great many others 

 here, some shooting, and about five or six hundred looking on. 



The grounds are very conveniently laid out, with a large tent, 

 The weather to-day is cloudy and raw, aud the tents are a very wel- 

 come protection which most of the shooters avail themselves of. 



The main events to-day were the AVm. Wolstencroft & Son's trophy, 

 for the individual championship of the State, at 50 targets, known traps 

 and known angles, and it was a very sharp tussel for this same trophy 

 which is a very handsome one. Harry Dill, Harry Thurman and W. 

 R. Fieles tieing on 48 broken, had to shoot otf. wiien W. R. Fieles, by 

 the handsome score of 25 straight, or 73 out of 75, was the winner. 



The next State event was the Reading team trophy, for the 5 men 

 team championship of the State, 85 targets per man. For this only 

 three teams entered, no other clubs having enough members on the 

 grounds for a team. It was won by Harrisburg team No. 1, with a 

 score of 110. Over 8,000 targets were thrown to-day. The averages 

 for the day are: H. McMurchy 147; .Skinner I'Vi; Fieles, Rohrbach, 

 Apgar 141; Wilson, low average, lOf). The scores are: 



William Wolstencroft & Son's trophy, for the individual champion 

 ship of Pennsylvania, at targets. 50 single targets, entrance S3, Key- 

 stone rules, lO-gaiige guns '18yds. rise; 12-gauge guns, 16yds. rise; 

 rapid firing system. This prize" to be held by the winner each year in 

 trust, to be accounted for to the Pennsylvania State Sportsmen's .As- 

 sociation. Should the said association at any time disband, this trophy 

 shall then revert to the donors. This medal is of a very handsome 

 design, and valued at $100.

Second Day, Sept. S7. 



The second day opened a little hazy, but by 9 o'clock the sun was 

 out, making it much more pleasant than yesterday. Many new faces 

 are on the grounds, among them Jacob Pentz, of New Jersey; Milt. P. 

 Lindsley, sometimes known as Scarfacc Charley the Wood Pulp Injun, 

 one who has friends all over the United States; in every town almost 

 where there is a gun club, his scarred face is know ti, and to know him 

 is to like him, Dutchy Smith, with an American fi.ag stuck in his hat, 

 which he said was his mascot, created lots of fun to-day. Col An- 

 thony, of Charlotte, N. C, says he would like to have a circus and have 

 Dutchy and Fieles for clowns, and he thinks he could beat the world. 

 Cashier Harry Gough is one of our old friends from several years 

 back, and it would bo hard to beat him in the cashier's box. Why, he 

 knows how to deal with all kickers; he knocked the wind clean out of 

 Dustin; aud his assistant, George Moorehead, is as fine a fellow as you 

 would meet anywhere. 



Among the new ones to-day I see Fene Cooper, of Mahanoy City, who 

 holds the Manufacturers' aud Trap-Shooters' Association champion- 

 ship badge, which he won at Allentowm lately; Rene T. Clayton, of 

 Tamaqua, Pa., and there is no more popular man among the shooters 

 in the State than this same Clayton, always happy and trying to switch 

 his friends the same way; A. H. King, of Pittsburgh, came'up to the 

 traps to-day smiling and happy with his fresh laurels won at .Jack 

 Parker's international shoot. Will Spicer, of Danville, who is always 

 ready for a shoot, and who told Col. Anthony to-day that the shoots 

 that added money in the South next year would be sure to see his big 

 Dutch face there. He is not quite as large as Dutchy Smith, of Plain- 

 fleld, N. J., but he is young yet and will grow. 



Much disappointment was expressed when it was found that only one 

 team, the Harrisburg, was entered for the Harrisburg Shooting Asso- 

 ciation trophy; but there are too many in a team, the six should be 

 made a four, or three would be better. There were at least five clubs 

 on the grounds to-day that could have entered teams of four, but with 

 the hard times aud so many shoots going on, it is hard to get a Ixsam of 

 six men to go any distance from hoine. But the Harrisburg team 

 toed the scratch and shot for and won the trophy, and kept it in the 

 Association for next year. 



The Keystone League, of Philadelphia, came to the front and won 

 the American Wood Powder trophy with the handsome score of 90 out 

 out of 105 singles and doubles; the Harrisburg team a good second. 



The regular programme was finished by 2:30 o'clock, and four extra 

 events, 20 targets each, $3 entrance, the last one 10 singles 5 pairs, 

 were shot out uefore dark. 



Over 9,000 targets were thrown to-day. The averages were: Buf- 

 bridge 149, Dutchy 148. Fieles 146, Wilson (low) 110. 



For team championship of Pennsylvania, prize silver trophy, valued 

 at $2fKi, donated by the Harrisburg Shooting Association. To be con- 

 tested for annuahy under the following conditions: Teams shall con- 

 sist of 6 men, bona, /I'rfe members of any club or a.ssociatiou iu the

 one-half of which shall be in payment of targets, the balance, 50?!, to 

 holders of the trophy, the balance. 30^ and 20;1 to the ue.vt teams in 

 order. Twenty-five targets per man, 1,50 per team, shall be shot at 

 known angles, rapid-firing system, 10 and 13-gauge gims, at 16yds,

 club under whose auspices this association shoot is given for its 

 return to the club under whose auspices the next association shoot 

 shall be given, l^ovided, however, there be no association shoot 

 given, it shall revert to the Hari isburg Shooting Association, of Har- 

 risburg, Pa. No one man to shoot on iuore than one team.
