ARKANSAS STATE TOURNAMENT. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



The fourth annual tournament of the Arkansas State Sportsmen's 

 Association, which was held at the Fair Grounds, Fort Smith, Ark., 

 May 7, 8, 0 and 10, was not as successful as the previous tournaments 

 given by the association. The Fort Smith Gun Club had been adver- 

 tising SI ,000 added money, but when the programmes appeared they 

 ~only showed $280 added money; the small amount added to the 

 purses, the stringent financial matter and the geographical location 

 of Fort Smith, in the extreme northwestern part of the State, making 

 it very inconvenient for most of the members of the association to 

 attend, are the principal causes for the small attendance. 



Among the visiting sportsmen in attendance during the shoot were 

 .1 A. R Elliott, of Kansas City. Mo.. W. R. Crosby, of O'Fallen, 111., 

 John Parker, of Detroit, Mich,, W. W. Mcllhauy, of Weir City, 

 Kansas, who shot under the nom-de-plume of Wallace, R. L. Camp- 

 bell, B. A Fay and E. L. Fay, of Springfield, Mo.. Arthur C. Wilde, of 

 Burton, Kansas. Hot Springs was represented by G W. Hughes, A. 

 K Smith, Chas. 'N. Rix, Dr. A. IT. Williams, Dr. Livers, John J. 

 Knmpter, Jr. and P. P. \V ood. Little Rock by Col. J. A. Woodson, Dr. 

 F, L. French, J. W. Irwin, R. W. Duley. John M. Pemberton, J. K. 

 Thiebault, John W. Dickinson, Paul R. Litzke and L. W. Browning 

 and J. T. Lloyd, of Pine Bluff. 



The Grand Central Hotel was headquarters for shooters and the 

 proprietor, Mr. Cleveland, showed them every possible attention and 

 courtesy, making their stay at his hotel a very pleasant, one indeed. 



The grounds are about two miles from the city, and the only way to 

 reach them is by special conveyance. 



They are not very suitable for trap-shooting, being very uneven and 

 having a bad background, a grove of trees standing right in line of 

 the traps, thuugh some distance, making the targets very difficult to 

 see on dark days, such as Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were. 

 The traps were situated in a kind of hollow, while about 20yds. in 

 front of numbers 3, 4 and 5 traps was a high ridge; this made a 

 straightaway bird from either of these traps appear very much lower 

 than they really were, thus deceiving many of the shooters and caus- 

 ing them to undershoot these birds, while just to the left of No. 1 trap 

 stood a small house only about 15yds. away. In the unknown angles 

 events, if a shooter was unfortunate enough to gets left-quartering bird 

 from this trap the bird would frequently get behind the house before 

 one could shoot, in which case the shooter was generallv allowed 

 another bird. It was very amusing to see the efforts made by some of 

 the shooters to break this target before it could get behind the house; 

 sometimes the shooter was lucky enough to score a kill, but frequently 

 the contents of the gun was emptied into the building. If you shot 

 the result had to be scored. 



Monday the weather was clear but extremely hot for this eea°on of 

 the year. That night it rained very hard, Tuesday was cloudy and 

 threatening, but much pleasanter, Wednesday was the same. Thurs- 

 day it began to rain about 7 o'clock and continued until about 10:30 

 o'clock, shootiDg did not begin before 11 o'clock, but the programme 

 was shot out and several extra events 



Honors were equally divided. Hot Springs won the team champion- 

 ship medal, Little Rock won the Keeley Cup, Harvey Dugan, of Fort 

 Smith, won the Individual championship medal. 



At the meeting of the association, Hot Springs was the place chosen 

 to hold the next meeting and tournament, and the following officers 

 were elected: G. W. Hughes, Hot Springs, Pres. ; J, T. Lloyd, Pine 

 Bluff, Vice-Pres.; John J. Sumpter, Jr., Hot Springs, Sec'y ; 0. N. Rix, 

 Hot SpringSjTreas. 



Col. J. A. Woodson, of Little Rock, moved that the president ap- 

 point a committee to form a new constitution and by-laws; carried. 



The m -mbers of the Association discussed at length the gross viola- 

 tion of our game and fish laws, and it was finally moved and carried 

 that the president be empowered to appoint a competent person, at 

 any time, to investigate such violations as may be brought to his no- 

 tice, and have the offenders prosecuted to the fullest extent of the 

 law. 



The secretary was instructed, upon motion of Col. Woodson, to cor 

 respond with Gov. Fishback in reference to the violations of our game 

 and fish tews, and request him, in the name of the Association, to in- 

 struct the sheriffs of each and every county in the State to use every 

 effort to enforce the game and fish laws and prosecute every violation 

 of said laws that may occur m his county. 



Voted that the president appoint [a committee of three to draft an 

 amendment to the present game laws in regard to the shooting of 

 quail. Moved by Col. Woodson, and duly carried, that the same com- 

 mittee be instructed to draft a bill making-it a violation of the law to 

 kill any wild duc£a ia-.this State between March J and Sept. 1 of each 

 year. 



Moved and earried that the secretary write to each member of the 

 Association next year for a donation of $2, should he be disposed to 

 contribute; the'money to be added to the events on the programme of 

 the tournament. 



Mr. Paul R Litzke, of Little Rock, moved that the Association be- 

 come a member of the National Game and Fish protective Association. 

 Carried. 



Bluerock targets, expert trap and electric pulls were used and this 

 with John Parker to manage the shoot, made a great combination, 

 one that is hard to beat; everything worked like a wpll-oiled piece of 

 machinery. The way John Parker would hustle off a programme 

 was a revelation to the shooters in this section of the country. 



Americin Shooting Association rules governed, four moneys, 40, 30, 

 20 and 10 per cent., all tie^ divided. Elliott, Parker and Crosby shot 

 in expert class. The most interesting events were:

Among Southern Trap Men. 



In Washington we called on good old "Billy" Wagner, the well- 

 known expert of the Capital City Rod and Gun Club. Trap matters, 

 Mr. Wagner said, had been rather slow of late, but from now op he 

 anticipated good turnouts at the club shoots. The prospects for a 

 tournament in Washington this year are not encouraging. 



Before we left Mr. Wagner's, in came Dick Parker, another of the 

 Capital City experts, bringing along with him a well-rattled gup be- 

 longing to Henry Gulick, president of the club. He requested Mr. 

 Wagner to put the gun in as good repair as possible, "for," said he, 

 "that is the gun Gulick loans to his friends, and he wants it in perfect 

 order, because ff it happens to be a 'little off' the borrowers will kick 

 and insist upon Harry's loaning them his best gun. 



At Greensboro, N. C, the home of the Greensboro Gun Club, will be 

 held a tournament by the Interstate Association on Sept. 19 and 20. 



Mr. R. Quincy, proprietor of the Buford Bouse, in Charlotte, N. C, 

 is a firm believer in the value of Forest and Stream as an advertising 

 medium. Mr. E. R. Dodge, of the Charlotte Gun Club, is one of the 

 most expert as well as most enthusiastic sportsmen of the town. In 

 Charlotte we called on Secretary A r chie Stoises, and later had the 

 pleasure of meeting Col. J. T. Anthony and President W. H- Justice. 

 From these gentlemen we learned that the gun club was now in 

 possession of a handsome ice pitcher which had been presented to them 

 by Mr. Welch, the well-known expert of the Riverton Gun Club. Dur- 

 ing the last open season Mr. Welch and his friend, Mr. Altberger, 

 visited Charlotte in search of some quail shooting. They fell into the 

 capable hands of members of the Charlotte Gun Club and were given 

 all the sport they desired in the field, as well as being tendered a din- 

 ner by Col. J. T. Anthony. Messrs. Welch and Altberger also gave a 

 dinner to the Charlotte Gun Club, and upon leaving the town vowed 

 eternal fealty to its whole-souled sportsmen. Shortly afterward a box 

 came to Charlotte for the gun club, containing a magnificent water 

 pitcher of silver, sent to the club as a trophy by Messrs. Welch and 

 Altberger, in appreciation of courtesies received. The club decided to 

 compete for the trophy in a series of ten weekly shoots, 50 shots each 

 weeK, the man scoring the highest aggregate out of the possible 500 to 

 become the sole owner. 



The competitions began on April 24, American Association rules gov- 

 ering, five known traps, unknown angles, and the targets are thrown 

 extremely hard. At the initial shoot eight competitors shot two 

 Strings of 25 each. The scores were: J. T. Anthony, 22, 25—47; J. W 

 Todd, 24, 24—48; Walter Brehm, 18, 20-38; E. R. Dodge, 21, 22—43; W. 



H. Justice, 22, 25—47, A. R. Stokes, 20, 24-44; Charles Cresswell, 19, 

 21—40; John Carson, 19, 23—42. The second conte=t took place on May 



I, with this result: J. T. Anthony, 20, 23—43; J. W. Todd, 23, 22—45, C 

 Cresswell, 21, 21—42; W. H. Justice, 21, 23—44; John Carson, 24, 18—42; 

 E. R. Dodge, 23, 18—41 . In the third competition, on May 8, J. T. An- 

 thony scored 19, 21—40; J. W. Todd, 23, 19—42; C. Cresswell, 20, 18—38: 

 A. R. Stokes, 20, 19-39; A. R. Stokes (back score), 20, 17—37; John Car- 

 son, 23, 22—45; E. R. Dodge, 20, 21—41. The full score made on Tues- 

 day, May 15, was as follows:

As the competition now stands J. W. Todd leads with 178 breaks out 

 of the possible 200. J. T. Anthony is second with 173; then comes 

 John Carson 171, Charles Cresswell 165, A. R. Stokes 164, E. R. Dodge 

 164, W. H. Justice 129 (three scores) and Walter Brehm 38 (one score). 



Statesville, N. C., has a newly organized gun club, of whose future 

 Col. J. F. Armfleld, one of the town's enthusiastic sportsmen, is very 

 sanguine. Thus far they shoot from one trap, but in a fortnight wjll 

 be fully equipped with a set of five traps. Almost the entire adult 

 male population are sportsmen, and Col. ArmfieJd hopes in time to 

 enthuse them all with the love of trap shooting. C. H. Townsend, 



Binghamton Tournament. 



Binghamton, N. Y., May 21.— We have changed the date of our tour- 

 nament from June 8 and 9 to June 28 and 29. The former dates so 

 nearly conflict with State shoot,- and a more important note is that 

 we wish to take more time and present a more attractive and elaborate 

 programme. So many shooters have written expressing a desire to 

 come that we feel justified in doing so. We shall offer some very 

 substantial prizes in the merchandise shoots, which we will publish 

 later. Among other things there will be two hammerless guns, and 

 all other prizes will be useful. The grounds are directly on electric 

 car line; we shoot to northwest and have clear sky background. Our 

 new club has now about fifty members and we expect to own the 

 grouuds on which we shoot in a year. H. W. Bkown. 



Johnstown Monthly. 



Johnstown, Pa., May 17.— Inclosed you will find scores of the regular 

 monthly shoot of the Johnstown Rifle and Gun Club. Match at blue- 

 rocks, 5 traps, known angles and traps, handicap:
