Ohio Trap-Shooters* League. 
Sphingfield, 0., June 4.— The eleventh annual tournament of the 
Ohio Trap-Shooters' League took place here Wednesday, Thursday 
and Friday. J'lne ?-4. The tournament was held on the grounds of 
the Springfield Qim Club, which are conveniently situated within 
about ten minutes' ride on the electric cars from the heart of the 
city. All the appointments and paraphernalia were of the finest 
order and the shoot was run in a remarkably smooth and commend- 
able manner; no objections of any nature were uttered during the 
entire shoot. The manaeement provided liberally for the comfort of 
visitors, some five or six large tents and a commodious club house 
tending to give plenty of room and make the arrangements perfect 
in every respect. One magautrap was continually in operation and 
in addition, a set of bluerock expert traps was also used, targets be- 
ing thrown under the Sergeant system, which, as all know, is on the 
order of shooting under the magautrap rules. Every precaution was 
taken to prevent delay on account of inclement weather. The 
shooters were protected by a permanent roof, which was more like a 
regular house; long rows of guQ racks and benches making a most 
desirable con ven ience. 
The first day opened rather threateningly, the sky being of a leaden 
hue. and with strong gusts of wind blowing directly over t e traps, 
which made the targets very erratic in flight, and misses of frequent 
occurrence. Some forty-five sportsmen took part during the day, spe- 
culation being rife as to the rather small list of entries. This was gen- 
erally conceded to be on account of the Rose system of division, es- 
pecially with so many points, viz , five moneys in all 15-target events, 
and six moneys in the 20-bhd races. A number of visitors left for 
home at the close of the first day's programme. Still for all that the 
system divided the money so evenly that no one came out a large 
■winner, while those making an average of 85 per cent, pulled out a 
little ahead. In ■ he regular open programme events for the three 
days, Ralph L. Trimble won first average, closely followed by RoUa 
O. Heikes and Frank S Parmi^lee. 
Following are the first day's scores, with Trimble and Heikes tying 
for first average, Parmelee second and Ketcham third.

The third and last day opened anything but favorably The 
weather was miserable in the morning, but became pleasant in the 
afternoon, and as a consequence the attendance cf spectators was 
very large indeed, probably 101 ladies gracing the occasion with their 
presence. A great incentive for their presence being the knowledge 
that their local pride, Mrs. Anna Myers, was to participate during the 
day, and to compare the results with those as made by Mrs. M. F. 
Lindsley (Wanda). It is due Mrs. Myers to state that she made a very 
favorable impression on all those who witnessed her shooting, and 
she bids fair to excel in the art of trap-shooting. It mu^t be borne in 
mind that she has only been shooting for about six months, but for 
all that she handles a gun perfectly, and centers the targets in expert 
style. In the E, C. cup race she scored 30 out of 50 at unknown an- 
gles, which with her handicap of 20 made a clean score of 50. Messrs. 
Norton, Myers, Mingo, Reese and Foley, who with their respective 
handicaps tied with Mrs Myers for the trophy, did a commendable 
thing by relinquishing their claim and presenting the cup to Mrs. 
Myers as a token of their appreciation of her skill.
