FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Deo. 36, 1896, 
Trap at Chicasfo. 
147 vs. hotaj. 
OHiCAGo. n., Dec. IS — Tiroes have bepn a trifle lively In shooting 
Circles at Ohfsago this week. thoua;h so far only one match has been 
shot, that for the Du Pont championabip trophy, Pec. 12, between 147 
(J. L. Winston) and George Roll, of. Chicago, winner cf the trophy in 
the last contest before the present one An event cf this kind, especially 
When It occurs sfter the close of the Tammany trap phnotlng season, 
Cs sure to excite more than local interest, tt is probable that over SOO 
Shooters assembled at Burnside to witness this race, and that is a very 
large crowd for a Chicago shoot. Among those present from outside 
were Charlie Grimm and Fred Gilbert, from Iowa Chicago trap clubs 
were well represented, especially, cf course, the Blue Island Club, of 
which Mr. Roll is a member, and there were a number of shooters in 
from adjacent shootme; towns. All in all it looked a bit like old times 
in Chicago, and the talk of the shooters among themselves after the 
Close cf the race made a general whoop la reminiscent of the palmier 
days In this city. Challenges were thicker than razors at a darky 
wedding, and champions, ch! dear. 
The race for the trophy was a very pretty one in some respects, 
though not close enough to afford the interest it might otherwise 
have held. For the past ten days Mr Winston has been in the form 
of his life, and the knowing ones could see no one else as winner in 
this contest. Yet it is without doubt true that Mr Roll was tbf> local 
favorite, many shooters remembering the long runs on pigeons he has 
inade within the last year, and joining in the confident belief of Mr. 
Jake Rehm, Mr. Roll's discoverer and backer, that Mr. Roll is the 
coming pigeon shot of this section. In practice at the grounds for 
the past few days, Mr. Roll has been doing good work, being well 
tried out with Dr Carver and other good ones, and has acquitted 
iiim8»lt as well as could be asked. The work of sweeps and practice 
matches, however, has before now deceived many a shooter or ob- 
server pf shooters, and when the time of the actual match came it was 
Been what a vast gulf intervenes between such shooting and match 
shooting against an old campaigner such as the one Mr Roll was to 
meet. Mr Roll was out of the match at the first ten birds, and at the 
50 turn all interest in the event was over, from a sporting standpoint. 
Mr. Roll shot a Smith gun, aa did Mr Winston, but while the 
weapon of the latter was a grand one, that of Mr, Roll has been by 
some means shot out or injured bo that it did not hold the load 
together as well as it should. Mr. Roll wished to purchase another 
gua for this race, but was adf ised not to change until afterward. 
Two or three ti-Tiea he appeared to cover and jir a bird well out in 
the field, which Mr. Winston's euQ might have cut down. Through- 
out the race, however. Mr. Roll comported himself as a gentlemanly 
and able shooter, who shot a good race and is yet to shoot a great 
many better, There is only one way iu which he can get experience 
and that is by shooting matches. This he has not yet had time to do, 
Mr. vVinston was as usual absolutely confident of himself. Winner 
of 12 out of his lasf 14 matches, engaged in the sort of employment 
ite likes and io the best physical health he has enjoyed for years, he 
would on Tuesday last have been an awkward man for any one to beat. 
When Mr. Daryea beat Mr Winston here last snmmer the latter 
weighed only 140 pounds. He now weighs 164, and it was the com- 
ment of many who saw him at the score that they had never seen 
him looking better. He never shot a better race in his life than this 
one, nor did any one ever see a cleaner or more gentlemanly race shot 
between two men. Mr. Roll sat down back of th« scire after each 
ehot by his handler, who threw an overcoat over his shoulder. Mr. 
Winston stood up at the rail near the gate and never sat down once 
during the match, nor spoke a word to any one. Mr. Roll wore the 
usual shooter's jersey and Mr. Winston was clad in a blue jacket worn 
over a warm buckskin shirt. 
Prior to the shoot, and soon after his arrival in town, Mr. Winston 
walked up to a card hanging in the club house at Watson's Park and 
marked down a long figure 7. Tbia he explained by saying that he 
had left Cleveland on car No. 7, in lower berth No 7. that heshotload 
No. 147, and was going to beat George Roll by just 7 birds. Whether 
Mr. Winston is the seventh son of a seventh son or not one does not 
know, but in this case he seemed to have the gift of prophecy. At the 
60 turn George Watson, who sat by the writer, offered lo make any 
sort of a wager that Mr. Winston would win by just 7 birds. There 
are two ciphers in the last 5 birds of Mr. Winston's scores, at least one 
of which might not have been there had he been crowded. His long- 
est run was 3S. In Mr. Winston's shooting it was readily apparent 
that he has entirely changed his style of shooting since leaving Chi- 
cago last summer. He is very much quicker on with hia flr.sc and 
faster with his second. Yet ihat he was not guilty of mechanical 
shooting was shown In the deliberate care he used on side shots and 
incomers where he had plenty of time. His practice on rattling good 
birds at Zwirlem's has been of service, yet it has not taught him to 
forget the one-bird-al-a-time rule of his earlier shooting. 
The birds used in this match were a good lot, only 4 being flagged 
out of 200, and they flew well and strongly, though they were not as 
hard as they would have been on the same grounds had there been a 
little wind and a bit of sunshine to liven them up. The day was dull 
and raw, not very cold and not a regulation pigeon day for this 
park. 
Mr. Roll was unfortunate enough to lose bis first two birds over the 
line, and at the lOih bird was 4 behind. At the 11th bird he was 5 be- 
hind, and thence the gap was never closed. At the first 25 turn Mr. 
Roll was shooting steadily. At the 50 hole he was less steady. At the 
75 hole he was doing his best work, and making his longest run. Mr. 
Roll was liberally ajiplauded at his good kills by friends who evidently 
wished him to win. When Mr. Winston lost his 48th bh-d, which was 
hit twice and turned both times, but went out, somfi thoughtless per- 
son called out "Go onl go on !" as hoping that the bird would go out. 
John Watson, wh-> was referee, promptly reproved that sort of thing, 
and said he wanted no more of it. 
The retrieving was done by three dogs, Mr. Winston's 45th bird 
was hit light, and the dog drove it over the line. His 53d was nearly 
out when caught and saved by the dog. His 76th was well out when 
hit and turned coming in; seeing that It would fall to the ground, 
Winston held his fire until it had fallen, the nature of the operation 
showing very clearly the coolness and deliberation with which be 
was shooting. His b7th bird was hit light and carelessly, but his 88tb, 
feathered lightly by the first barrel, went over, accompanied by a 
look of surprise on the shooter's face. His 931 bird was billed very 
far out in the deep fleid, and his 95th, a very high and far bii d, flying 
strongly, feU .t easily 50yds from the score, calling out applauije for 
Mr. Winston for almost the first time. 
Mr. Roll's 47 ch bird was a hard one, and went out minus some of its 
feathers. His 49th and 50. h birdi both got over the line. His 72d 
wabbled up almost to the aead line, but fell just Inside. His 75th was 
a screaming good kill. He lost his 79t.h, a low, fast bird, which was 
not centred with the first barrel. Waen Mr. Winston lost hia 68th 
bird, it was a big white bird which was only feathered lightly When 
Mr. Roll shot his 83th bird he got the same colored bird which flew m 
precisely the same direction, was shot in precisely the sanie way and 
also lost. His 89th bird was a fasi driver, hit very lightly, if at all. 
Wben Mr. Roll came to shoot his 98th bird there occurred a peculiar 
and unique circumstance, o;je which never before hai peued to John 
Watson's knowledge on his grounds, one which has never been seen 
by any shooter so far as known, and one not covered by any shooting 
rules There is a light 2ft. wire fence used as a boundary liae on these 
grounds, and the bird, which was hit hard, lit directly on this fence, 
where it perched unsteadily and then fell off on the inside. The dog 
was sent after the bird, which then rose and flew out, and was of 
course lost. Mr. Winston asked the referee what would have bnen the 
result had the bird been gathered, and Mr. Watson replied that he 
Should have scored it a dead bird, as he considered the wire boundary 
no fence at all, but simply a boundary line agreed upon by all. 
As stated, both shooters used L. 0. Smith guns, with Da Pont pow- 
der, of course, each shooting SJ^drs. Mr. Winston used Winchester 
Leader shells, and Mr. Roll U. M. 0. Trap shells. The following are 
the scores of the race:

147 VS. OARVKR. 
Deo. 19.— We had a shooting match here to-day, and It wasn't a tie. 
As reported in matter sent yesterday evening, Dr. Carver finally 
agreed to make good his proposition to Winston lo shoot him six 
races at live birds. 50 birds each race, for J50 a side, and to bet him 
$100 to l|47 that Winston would not win one of the six. Winston 
would accept no explanation of a personal sort, but said to Dr, 
Carver in the presence of another, '"tou will either make your re- 
fuHal to shoot as public as your challenge to shoot, or you will have 
to n ake good your own proposal and go to the score with me. It*8 
either shoot or apologize publicly." This stirred up Dr. Carver and 
he showed the true sort of manhood and grit by saying, with em- 
phanis: 
' I'm going to California soon, and Til walk the whole way before I'll 
apologize or retract. I'll shoot you as I said I would." 
This sort of talk is a lot better than newspaper blufflng, and It is 
the sort which will make friends for a man, whether he wins or loses. 
The result of it was that Winston did not go home, but w«s on hand 
this morning, apparently happy, though still saying he knew he had 
a hard game ahead this time. Winston's cold was better, and he ap- 
peared fresher and stronger than he did yesterday. Dr. Carver, big 
and powerful, as fine built a man as stands in America to-day. seemed, 
as he always does, full of strength and vigor. He was by all odds a 
favorite, as many Chicago men believe he is invincible, but only about 
a couple cf dozen men were assembled at the grounds to see the 
match, it not being general'.r known that the shoot was to come off. 
FIRST MATCH , 
The day was a peculiar one, brightish, though a little overcast, the 
Elm peeping out now and then. The wind was very light, its direc- 
tion being that of a left-quartering incomer, or slightly to the lef c of 
the shooters' faces as they stood at the score. The weather was 
chilly and raw, but not severely cold, light snow faUing during the 
morning. It was not a hard pigeon day at all, and the birds did not 
average absolutely so hard as they are often seen here, though they 
were fresh and strong, some of them screamers, and all prompt to 
start except 4 out of the 200. The number of incomers was unusually 
large. The 'uck of the birds, it any such thing can exist in a lOO-bird 
race with King automatic traps, seemed distinctly to favor Winston, 
at least on several times, when he caught an incomer against a hard 
driver for his opponent. Yet it was the incomers which troubled Dr. 
Carver, the left-quwtering incomer being practically his hoodoo 
and throwing him out of the close thing the race might otherwise 
have been. Dr. Carver shot with all his ease and elegance, and Win- 
ston with the added snap and speed he brings back with hioi from his 
trip Bast. Winston is a better pigeon shot to-day than he ever 
was in his life, and better than a good many of his f riend.i thought 
before seeing him this fall. He was very cool and careful with his in- 
comers and let none get away; his lost birds being swift outgoers for 
the most part, two of which did not seem to be touched at all. Yet it 
should nor. he thought he was dull at the hard ones, for a few looks at 
some of his long stops would have disabused anybody of that Impres- 
sion very soon. He is better at fast drivers than he ever was, but 
uses time when he has time to spare. Oaone twisting Incomer es- 
pecially, his 20th bird, he showed great skill, waiting a seemingly in- 
terminable time for the wild twister to steady down as it came In, and 
then cutting in two almost at the line. 
As the men stood at the line, some difference was noticeable in 
their conduct Dr. Carver walked up and down behind Winston all the 
time nervously and commented on the race. Winston stood still at tlie 
gate, never sitting down, and talked very little, only answering his 
opponent a few times, and with no animosity at all. He complained 
once, with possible sarcasm, that the talk of his opponent had made 
him miss a bird; and once he said, after killing a hard one, "How's 
that?" replying to the wish of his rival that he might at last get a 
"decent bird to shoot at." Carver's first bird was a sharp driver, 
and Winston's a soft incomer. "There's a contrast," said Carver, and 
he repeated it in a grieved tone when the same thing happened at the 
second bird. As the race progressed, however, it became quieter, 
and the men seemed to commend or criticise each other in a more 
friendly way, though Carver iJoutinued to complain about his hard 
luck, and his poor shooting occasionally. Winston sawed wood 
and said little, and the race was a pleasant one to watch and report. 
It. should be understood again that the race in each case was at only 
50 birds, though the two races were shot without intermission. Win- 
ston asked time at the close of the first match to go in and get a cup 
oi" coffee, but Carver wanted to go on, so Winston drank his coffee at 
the score. It began to spit snow at the beginning of the second race 
and the wind was just a trifle fresher. When Dr. Carver killed one or 
two stiff ones he said: "That's the sort of birds that show whether 
you can shoot or not," and Winston naively replied he would like to 
shoot him on 200 of that sort. Had the wind been in the opposite 
direction It is possible neither score would have been so high. 
In the first match Carver's 7th bird was hit full, but got over. His 
13th and 16th were both narrow squeaks, wabbling almost over before 
dropping. His 37th bird was a corker, and so was the nexl, though it 
went higher. His 42d got away unhurt apparently. He seemfd just 
a shade slower at times than Winston, and so some of his drivers 
seemed very hard to stop, though at these it seemed the big 'uu could 
not miss. It was the incomers that were hard for him. His 26th bird 
was hit hard as It came in. but wabbled over the line and fell stone 
dead. He crimped his next 5 handsomely, and then pot another back- 
handed incomer, which also wabbled over, and 7 birds further on he 
lost yet another left-hand incomer, thus coming rapidly back to Win- 
ston, whom he led at the 25 turn by 2 birds, and who meantime had 
been pounding along with only one more miss. In the first 20 birds it 
was said by a spectator, "Jack'll never catch Carver again in this 
race," but at the 40 hole Winston led by 1 bird, and each dropping a 
bird after that, Winston went out winner with this lead. Winston's 
10th bird was seemingly not touched. His 14th was a corker, and so 
was his 17th, which he lost. His 43d was a hard one, but was "cored. 
His 45th seemed not iilt, and his 48th was killed after a very long wait 
for the fire. His 49th was a strong bird and slow to drop, but was 
scored. 
Winston shot an L. 0. Smith gun, with his load 147 A, Austin 
Smokeless, In Winchester Leader shells. Dr. Carver shot a Cash- 
more gun,- with 8i4in. U. M. C. Trap shells. He declined to state 
what powder he was using. His empty shells bad the smell of a 
f dint banana flavor. The following is the score, 50 live birds, $S0, A.

SBCOKD MATCH. 
The first race was a very pretty one, and all who had come out to 
fee it felt very well repaid. Winston especially had cau !e for gratifi- 
cation, because at the very first race of the six he had won his side 
bet, taking down $100 at once, and also his stakes of 850. He felt 
himself "vindicated," as he expressed it, and remarked that he did 
not care if he lost the next five races. But he did not shoot as though 
he meant this literally. On the other hand, he spoiled the prettiness 
of the contest by walking far ahead of his competitor and beating him 
out by 5 birds in the 50. Carver lost his very first bird iu this race, 
and was able to score only 31 out of his first 35, Winston meantime 
assuming a form which made him a "lead pipe" for winner of this 
race also. He finished the race with bis teeth chattering with cold, 
the weather now having turned a trifle more raw if possible. The 
birds were, if anything, better in this race. 
Carver's 5th and 6fh birds were screamers both of them, and so 
was his 7th, over which a most peculiar circumstance happened. The 
bird was a very fast and strong one, was knocked down far out in 
the field straight beyond No. 3 trap, where the dog started for it. 
Carver stood and was talking about the hard luck he had had in 
drawing tough birds, and was receiving congratulations upon stop- 
ping such a vicious one, when the bird got up and flew directly in 
over the dead line, and so was lost. It passed within a few feet of 
the men at the score, and could almost have been caught had it been 
noticed in time. When Winston missed his 9th Carver said laugh- 
ingly, "You can't kill good ones," to which Jack replied that he knew 
he couldn't. Winston's 13th, 15th and 17th birds were all wicked ones 
and needed fast and good work, and the same should be said of Car- 
ver's 18th and 2l8t. Winston killed his 23d almost at his feet. His 
23d wa'. asnaketo therlgbfc, wherehe missed it. ' Oh!" said Jack, and 
then held his tire, as the bird swirily doubled and went back where ic 
came from. After a long wait he cut it down. At the next bird 
almost this same thing was done again. His 25th was a long driver, 
and his SOth was saved only by luck at the wire. Carver had a nasty 
one in hia 28th, but on his ,32d he got the only bird which had to ba 
flagged for him. "Thank the Lord," said he, "I've got one of them 
Kansas City birds. Scare him up and see me kill him," which was 
done. Carver's 83d was another instance of hard luck. He hit it 
mu , wltto tbe flrst, w4 it yrm nmij dowa iftim t^e mov>i 
came, which seemed to scare it, the bird rallying and going 
on out. The birds here were Loginning to average pretty 
tough ones. Winston's 33d, a high white bird, was hit weii, but wab- 
bled over : and this happfnsd also with Carver's 37th, a bob-tailed 
white bird, Winston's .38: h was spatted twice in a second, and none 
too soon and hard, for it was ugly. His 4l8t was a strong one, and 
wabbled over the line. Carver's 42d was a grand kill, a far and high 
driver going sharp, and he was applauded by Winston for it. Carver 
caught another of his hoodooa on his 44th, an incomer which twisted 
around to left and over; and he missed his last bird, a worming driver 
which was shaken up, but not severely. Carver never got within two 
birds of Winston at all in this race, and while It was pleasant to see 
two such shots at work, the race itself was not close enough to be 
eventful. The men shook hands at the close of the race and joked 
about it. Carver seemed disappointed, and felt that he was not up to 
his place. Winston still insisted that he did not feel sure about the 
next races, which are to be shot Monday, but. thought Carver would 
be harder to beat then than he was to day. Winston thin lis Carver a 
hard man l;o beat, and spoke very highly of hia gameness in agreeing 
to shoot him the six races as offered In this one is not quite clear^ 
as in all good sporting ethics a man is supposed to do his thinking be- 
fore he makes his challenge; and no challenge would ever be printed 
In a careful paper unless made as bona fide, and with forfeit accom- 
panying. The following is the score of the second match:

Dec. 19.— At the close of the races with Carver to-day, Saturday, 
Winston met Fred Gilbert, and again took up the matter of the com- 
bination race, targets and birds. This time Winston offered to eon- 
cede to Gilbert the order in which the races should be shot. The men 
will shoot next Thursday at John Watson's roof garden. 100 live birds, 
A. S. A. rules, and 100 targets, expert rules, for $50 a side, total scores 
to count. 
It is likely there will be a race on with the vrinner of the Cast Iron 
badg'^. if the latter will agree to shoot soon. Winston goes home for 
Christmas, but will return soon if necessary. 
When Mr Louis Duryea. of New York, was here about three weeks 
ago he deputized Mr. B,. B. Organ to see Dr. Carver, and to tell him 
that if he cared to come East this winter he could be assured of five 
races, for $500 to $10,000 a side- Dr. Carver says he will be in New 
York probably in April, and will shoot three races for $1,000 a side un- 
less something unforeseen should arise i o prevent. He is going to 
Europe in the spring. 
Among the airy trifles which have come to naught are two more 
propositions caught Hying about in the air this week. The irrepres- 
sible Winston, who has made so much circus in Chicago this week, 
offered to shoot a f our-piy~ race, majority of scores to count, he to 
shoot Bingham and Carver one day and Gilbert and Grimm the next, 
one against the four; $100 a race, 100 birds. This is not so odd as the 
race Abe Kleinman oilers Oswald von Lengerke, which is that they 
shall shoot at 50 birds for $35 a side, Mr, Kleinman to stand at 30yd3., 
Mr. Von Lengerke to stand at lOyds. and u'e a field gun, open bored: 
the race not to come off till a good southeast wind shall blow! This 
wind would make the birds run incomers, and so would prevent the 
shooter at the 10yd. mark from having more than 10yds. swing, as he 
would not dare shoot back of where he stood, lest he should shoot 
into the crowd. 
Yet another odd bit of gossip comes up. Some ten years ago, at one 
of the old Illinois State shoots, Abe Kleinman and Roll Organ tied for 
a diamond medal known as the Charles Wilcox medal, which was for 
highest score in some event not now fresh in memory. This tie has 
never been shot off, and yesterday Ahe asked Boll if he was willing to 
shoot it. At last they agreed to buy it and not shoot it, and it was de- 
cided to give or take f 20 for the odd hnU interest. Mr. Blleinman 
bought out Mr. Organ and now owns the .modal. 
If things keep up this way we will make a shooting town out of 
Chicago again before long. E. Hough,

More Scores from Watson's Park. 
Chioaqo, III., Dec. 14.— J. L. Winston, Dr. Carver and George Roll 
had some practice on live birds to-d'iy. Winston shot at 65 birds, 
scoring 57; Carver scored 36 out of 30; Roll 35 out of 45,
