Arkansas State Sportsmen's Ass'n Tournament. 
Little Rock, Ark., June 1— The Little Rock shooters have reason 
to feel elated over tbe results of the fifth annual tournament of the 
Arkansas State Sportsmen's Association, which was held at WeBt End 
Park, Little Rock, May 28 to 30. This ;tournament was originally in- 
tended to he held at Hot Springs, April 8-10, but owing to the small- 
pox scare which prevailed about that time it was deemed advisable to 
hold the tournament in Little Rock. This also necessitated a change of 
dates, and the above-mentioned dates were the ones that were chosen, 
as they were the only ones that did not conflict with some near-by 
tournament. This gave the local boys less than two months to pre- 
pare for the tournament, and its success is therefore all the more 
gratifying. 
The shoot was well attended, as the appended list of visiting shoot- 
ers will attest: R. O. Heikes and E. D. Rike, Dayton, O.; Charley 
Young, Springfield, O.: B. A. Bartlett, Buffalo, N. Y.; Ferd. Van 
Dyke, Davton, N. J.; B. Leroy Woodward, Campello, Mass.; E. D. 
Fultord, Utica, N. Y.; W. ST, Drake, South Orange, N. J.; J. W. Hoff- 
man, German Valley, N. J.; J. J. Oornett, Lineus, Mo.; K. M. Moore, 
Farmersville, Tex. ; J. Clausen, Santa Rosa Park, Fla. ; William Lape, 
Coffyville, Kan.; Irby Bennett, Frank P. Poston, Fred. Schmidt, A. B. 
Duncan, Cockrell and Plummer, Memphis, Tenn. ; G. W. Hughes, John 
J. Sumpter, Jr., Dr. A. U. Williams (Dobbins), Charles N. Rix, A. R. 
Smith, W. J. Little and the Hon. J. L. Wadley, of Hot Springs; J. T. 
Lloyd, W. A. Leach and Elmo Marsh, Pine Bluff ; Joe P. Matthews, 
Fort Smith. The weather was not all that could be desired, as it was 
cloudy and threatening part of the time, and rained quite hard 
Wednesday morning, delaying the commencement of the shoot about 
an hour. The shooting was by no means easy, as the threatening 
weather made the light very bad, and the variegated background, a 
high baseball fence covered "with signs of all colors, made tbe flight of 
the targets very deceiving. Regardless of these difficulties some very 
fine work was done, Rolla Heikes carrying off the honors, with Charley 
Young right after him. The following are the

For Gate Money Only. 
The afternoon sun on Monday last was warm enough at the Parkway 
Driving Park, L. I., to make one appreciate fully the coolness with 
which the principals in the "Brewer versus Birds" match annexed the 
dollars of an easily gulled public. To charge 81 for the privilege of 
witnessing a shooting match of the sure enough kind would be worthy 
of note. But to charge $1 per capita for the privilege of standing in a 
hayfield for more than two hours while the principals wrangled 
about a referee and a trap, to be rewarded finally with an exhibition 
that lasted nearly two hours more, is something that deserves special 
comment. There were several features connected with this affair that 
will be of interest. 
In the first place, the daily papers were worked satisfactorily, the 
match receiving a good deal of attention at their hands. Phil Duffy, 
of Brooklyn, N. Y., and John L. Brewer were positively staled to have 
posted $250 a side to bind a match, Brewer betting that he could kill 95 
out of 100 pigeons, Duffy to provide and trap the birds. It is a fact 
that $50 a side was deposited with a temporary stakeholder, but so far 
as anybody could make out that was every cent that was put up. Re- 
ports of big wagers, one made by Hank White, were passed around, 
and helped to create a little more interest. The judicious use of Mr. 
John S. Hoey's name as refereee gave an air of genuineness to the 
match that it otherwise would not have had: Mr, Hoey's reputation 
for honest, straightforward work on the race tracks or at the 
traps was a positive assurance that there would he a square deal. 
The answer to the question— "Who authorized the use of Mr. Hoey's 
name?"— would he interesting. The articles signed by the two princi- 
pals were also nothing more than memoranda, jotted down as the dif- 
ferent points were agreed upon. A special point in the articles was 
that the trap might be any that Duffy might choose, the only stipula- 
tion being that it should not stand, either open or shut, more than 
12in. above the ground. Now Duffy's choice was a corker to look at, 
but an easy one to make. Order a zinc box, 2^ft long, about 9in, 
wide and ll^in. high; also get a lid for this box "so large that it pro- 
jects about half an inch all around, and fasten this lid on to the box 
with a single hinge at one end; place this box with the lid downward, 
and with the hinged end toward the score; pass a rope over the top of 
it and fasten it to the front end of the box. That was Duffy's trap 
and pulling apparatus. Brewer and his backer (I believe that was Mr. 
Glbbons's position) objected to the trap. As a matter of fact, when 
open for the bird to go out it was over 12in. above the ground. Duffy 
told Brewer to choose a referee, and if the referee objected to the trap 
it would be all right. Brewer's backer wanted Frank Class to act as 
referee, but Duffy pleaded that he didn't know Class and would have 
none of him. So it went on for a couple of hours, while about 300 
spectators stood around on the long grass or lay down on the newly- 
mown swaths cut by Billy Mills and his scythe, it being Billy's duty to 
clear a space for the score and the traps. As Brewer wouldn't shoot 
the race so long as Duffy's trap was to be used, and as Duffy wouldn't 
go ahead unless his invention was allowed to stand, things were at a 
deadlock. Somehow or other very few people were surprised at the 
state of affairs— they expected a wrangle of some sort. Finally Mr. 
w. Lair appeared with a couple of old King traps from the New 
"Utrecht Gun: Club's grounds at Woodlawn; the $50 a side was re- 
turned to the principals, and Brewer proceeded to show what he could 
do to Duffy's birds, not a cent of money being at stake so far as any- 
body could find out. 
The birds were a very mixed lot and did not reflect much credit on 
Mr. Duffy's sagacity. They were not a patch on those which he has 
had the reputation of providing. They were really only a fair lot of 
summer birds, with a few good ones sandwiched in here and there. 
There were any amount of sitters, Brewer calling several "no birds." 
He started in by making some slobbering kills, missing his third bird, 
an incomer, clean with his right barrel. As a set-off, however, he 
showed what he could do by making some excellent quick kills 
on some of the fast birds. It must be remembered, in con- 
sidering th« score, that he was shooting a 10-gauge gun, a 
crown grade Greener, and that the birds wer« being liber- 
ated from only one trap. The first 23 were killed, but the 24th got 
away. The next to escape was his 38th. From that point he killed 
straight until the 63d round, when a fast driver escaped. Seventeen 
more kills were registered, leaving but 20 more to shoot at, the score 
standing 77 kills out of 80 birds shot at. It looked a moral certainty just 
then that 95 or better would be scored. Three misses out of bis next 
five settled it, the score showing 79 out of 85— six misses. Brewer 
shot out his string, killing straight and scoring 94 out of 100. 
Judging from the opinions freely expressed, it looks as if match 
shooting of this sort, gate-money affairs, had received a good sound- 
ing slap, so far as this part of the country is concerned. It was really 
about as cold a deal as any that has ever been attemped around New 
York. There were several well-known club men present, many of 
them excellent shots themselves; there were also a number of New 
Jersey shooters on the grounds, who had taken a day off to coma 
over to Long Island. Out of consideration for their feelings all 
names of those present are suppressed. The score was as follows:

The Memphis Tournament. 
Memphis, Tenn., June 10.— Special to Forest and Stream: The 
practice shooting to-day shows that there are between fifty and sixty 
shooters present. They come from all over the South and a great 
tournament is assured. The entries to-morrow will probably reach 
the one hundred mark. All the arrangements for the comfort of the 
shooters and for the smooth running of the tournament are very 
good; the management exceptionally excellent. Weather is warm, 
but pleasant.
