Ohio Trap-Shooters' League. 
Dayton, 0., June 10.— The tenth annual convention of the Ohio 
Trap-Shooters 1 League was held June 9, President C. W. Raymond. 
Treasurer Ed Taylor's report Bhowed the League to he in a prosper- 
ous condition, free from debt, with a balance on band of $87.45. The 
following clubs were admitted: Portsmouth, Lima, Iron City, Iron- 
ton and King's Smokelpss. The executive committee submitted a 
new constitution, and after considerable discussion they were em- 
powered to make such changes as they deemed necessary and submit 
the same in sixty days, so as to enable all the members to familiarize 
themselves with it, the committee's action to be final. 
Circleville, Cleveland and Springfield were placed in nomination for 
the next annual meeting. The Cleveland delegation came prepared 
to make a great fight, and Mr. Saffold spoke at some length as to the 
benpflt the league would derive by holding the next annual meeting 
in the northern part of the State, citing that there were a number of 
c'ubs in that section that would affiliate if this would be done. Dr. 
.Waters, of Columbus, spoke in behalf of Springfield, and took the 
stand that it would be advisable to hold the meeting at Springfield, 
as it was more centrally located. Springfield was chosen by a large 
majority, and the vote was made unanimous on motion of the Cleve- 
land delegation. 
The election of officers resulted as follows: President, Dr. C. M. 
Boot, of Springfield; Vice-President, C. A. Young, Springfield; Secre- 
tary and Treasurer Ed Taylor, Cincinnati; Executive Committee, Ed 
Taylor and R. S. Waddell, Cincinnati; C. W. Raymond, Dayton, and 
George Haswell, Circleville. 
THE TOURNAMENT. 
The tournament was held on the grounds of the Buckeye Gun Club, 
and as this is one of the progressive clubs of the country the arrange- 
ments were of course complete. Mr. C. W. Raymond, of the home 
club, acted as manager and displayed considerable executive ability 
in handling the shoot. Everything passed off satisfactorily. 
Two sets of traps were in position, one of bluerocks and one set of 
empire; empire targets were used. The Buckeye Club added $800 to 
the purses in the League events, and in addition threw the targets 
at the moderate charge of 2 cents. The system of dividing the purse 
in the League events was decidedly in favor of the poor shooter. After 
the birds were deducted the purse was divided into two equal parts 
and each part was then in turn divided 50, 30 and 20 per cent. This 
virtually made six moneys. Any shooter sharing in a division of the 
first three moneys three times was debarred from sharing in any part 
of the last three moneys during the remainder of the tournament. In 
this way the better shots were out of this class after the first three or 
four events. This system, while very favorable to the poor shot, 
offers too much inducement to drop for place and not a little drop- 
Ding was indulged in. Some shooters were even brazen enough to 
boast about it; several shooters would run 12 straight and then miss 
their last 3 birds to keep from going In the expert class. 
The executive committee's attention was called to the fact, but as 
nothing was said in the programme about droppers no action could be 
taken. At the next tournament the purses will be divided on a differ- 
ent plan. There is some talk of adopting the Rose system, at any rate 
some provision will be made against droppers. 
D. A. Upson was very much in evidence at the shoot, he captured 
two of the trophies and also made the best average of the shoot. 
FIRST DAS. 
On the opening day it rained steadily all day. The attendance was 
not very large. The event of the day was the contest for the State 
Journal cup, which was won by Upson, who scored 30 straight; two 
scored 29; Scott McDonald and Tippy McDonald mtesed their first one 
and then went out straight. In the League events Upson led with an 
average of 95.7, but in the open events Heikes was first with 98 8, 
while both scored the same number for the day, each scoring 221 out 
of 230, making an average of 96 per cent. Raymond was second with 
93 per cent. Upson made one run of 93. 
Aside from the names that appear in the table below, Hart, Kohle 
and Curphey shot in one or two of the League events. In the open 
events Winston shot at 30, broke 29, average 56.6. Clave shot 30, 
broke 27, average 96. A number of others shot only in one event.

cm? SHOOT. 
There were only 12 entries in this event, and of this number four 
tied on 47. Redwing lost one bird by pulling the wrong trigger. He 
has always been accustomed to shooting his left barrel, but he had 
the misfortune to break the mainspring in this lock, and then he tried 
to shoot it, although he had the other barrel loaded. The referee at 
first allowed him another bird, which he broke but afterward reversed 
his decision. Had the decision stood he would have won the cup on a 
score of 48. As it was, he got in the ties, but Upson shot him out. 
Alkire had but to break his last bird to tie Upson again ; he failed to 
do this, however,

THIRD DAY. 
The weather was absolutely perfect, and the entries exceeded 
those of either of the previous days. There were two trophy events: 
one a two-men team race for State team championship, and the other 
a handicap event for an E. C. cup. The local team, composed of Rike 
and Heikes, managed to retain the cup, and C. E. Arnold, a young 
amateur from New Carlisle, won the cup. 
Arnold, J. Craig, Norton, Trimble and Saul tied for the cup, and in 
the shoot off at 25 birds Arnold won, having 5 added in 25 and scoring 
21. When the shoot off occurred it was nearly dark and the targets 
were very difficult to see, and the best night hawk won. This day 
Redwing carried off the honors with the fine average of 96.1. Heikes 
was again second. 
In the table below the first five events are the regular League events , 
and the other 15-bird events were the open events. The 50-bird 
event is the handicap, and the number set in the last column repre- 
sents the number each had added to his score, Heikes, Redwing and 
Upson were the only scratch men.

The Iowa State Tournament. 
Davenport, la., June 10.— This morning opened with every promise 
for one of those rare days in June that the poets sing about, and the 
promise was fulfilled. Rain the previous night had laid all dust, and 
all through the day the hot sunshine was tempered by a cool breeze 
from the northeast. Before 9 o'clock the shooters had assembled 
in goodly numbers and several "extras "were shot/ At the begin- 
ning, and in fact all through the forenoon, the traps persisted in 
breaking the targets in a most exasperating way, that got many of 
the men nervous and no doubt lowered some of their scores. The 
traps were new ones and the man who makes them was expected to 
be on hand to take care of them, but he failed to put in an appearance 
R. B. Cook, the State secretary, took charge of everything and was 
about everywhere at once, getting the traps in running order and 
keeping the crowd in good humor. He succeeded in both. 
Events No. 2 and No. 5 were at live birds. More than two-thirds of 
them did not fly when the traps were thrown, and it took a lot of 
scaring to put them on the wing, but nearly all "got right out of 
there" when they did go. Under the circumstances the scores are 
fairly good. To save time the birds were shot from known traps, and 
no birds except challenged one« gathered until the traps were all'shot 
down. Star targets were used. They break veryeasilyand go to dust 
when hit by shot in a way that does tne shooter good. After the traps 
were properly adjusted they broke slightly more of the targets than 
is common with other targets. The Rose system of dividing purses 
was used. By this system each man in first place is credited with 5 
points, each in second place 3 points, third place 2 points, and in fourth 
place 1 point. The purse is divided by the «um of the points, and eacn 
shooter's share is determined by the number of points to his credit 
The plan appears to make an equitable division and stops dropping 
for place, as second place never yields as much as first. Scores of the 
programme events of the first day are as follows:

SECOND DAY, JUNE 11. 
The glorious weather still prevailed to-day, the boys were all in 
good humor and manifested it by numerous boyish pranks and 
practical jokes. There was very little trouble with the target traps; 
the targets flew fast and far, but they broke whenever they were hit. 
The live birds furnished to-day were— well, just a little the swiftest, 
toughest lot of old tailers that were ever put in traps. Lots of them 
carried two loads of shot over the boundary, leaving clouds of feathers 
floating above or beyond the traps. Taking it alFround, it was the 
finest, day's sport the writer ever saw at any tournament.

Events Nos. 1, 3, 4 and 7 were at known traps and angles; Nos. 2 and 
5, live birds; No. 6 for Smith cup under expert rules. 
THIRD DAY, JUNE 12. 
The weather clerk surely stood in with the boys all through. Every 
day was just a little nicer than the previous one, and the first one was 
perfect. There was to-day a strong northwest wind that gave the 
pigeons a chance for their lives and the shooters an opportunity to 
use their utmost skill, and the way it played pranks with the targets 
made high scores hard to get. The entire programme was shot through 
and a large number of extras, both at targets and live birds. 
Everybody was satisfied with everything, and there never was a 
tournament that ran more smoothly than the last two days of this one. 
In addition to the regular purses the management gave $35 for the 
highest average through the entire tournament, and $15 to the next 
highest. Budd took the first with an average of 93 4 s , Gilbert second 
with an average of %%. There was also $35 paid to the shooter who 
shot through the entire programme and made the lowest average, and 
$15 to second lowest. Couger got the $85, average 1\%. The $15 went 
to Cook, average 78. Cook can do better, but in this case he ran the 
entire tournament and shot in all programme events besides. It was 
with regret that the shooters separated and departed for their homes, 
promising to meet at Des Moines next year. The scores:

Nos. 2 and 5 were at live birds. No. 5 was for State trophy, two-men 
teams. Won by Gilbert and Avery. 
At the annual meeting of the Iowa State Sportsmen's Association, 
authority was given to the board of directors to allow the secretary 
in the future a reasonable proportion of the receipts of the associa- 
tion in lieu of salary. The past year has been the only one in which a 
secretary has devoted nearly the time to the duties of the office that are 
required to boom the association. Under the new plan it is hoped 
the good work will go on. 
Des Moines was selected as the next place of meeting. Game laws 
and the Funk bill and other matters of interest were discussed, but 
no definite action taken. New officers are: President, R. B. Cooke 
Davenport; Vice-President, Charlie Budd, Des Moines; Secretary 
Fred.C. Whitney. Des Moines; Treasurer, Al. C. Mueller, Des Moines 
Directors: Sam Hoffman, Altantic; C. M. Grimm-, Clear Lake; C. O 
Perkins, Nelson Royal and G. L. Eason, Des Moines. 
SNAP SHOTS. 
Sam Hoffman furnished most of the fun. He led the Indian squa 
and was appropriately dressed for the occasion. 
Charley Grimm shot at an incomer and failed to stop it. As it flew 
tow ard him he dropped his gun, ran to head off the bird, and caughti . 
on the wing within a foot of the boundary. The leap he made to reach 
the bird would do credit to a greyhound. 
Budd and Grimm go to the Cleveland tournament from here. 
Gilbert went home, and will go to the Mankato (Minn.) shoot. 
Tucker goes to the Oskaloosa shoot next week. 
A good many others went home to stay till some nearby event 
brings them out. O. H. Hampton. 
Missoula Bod and Gun Club. 
Missoula, Mont., June 8.— Since the tournament the bluerock 
smashers of Missoula have been content with letting a couple of 
weeks drift by without the witnessing of a club medal contest, but 
yesterday a half dozen of the boys concluded it about time to get 
back to work, and the following score was the result. Conditions, 20 
targets, unknown angles:
