HIS RS)ASONa FOR SILBNCB M^DE P0BL1O. 
Foe some weeks past we tiave reqnested Mr. Grimm to make public 
his reasons for ignoring: Elliott's chalieuge for the cast iron badge. 
It took Mr. Grimm some lime to make up his mind to accede to that 
request, and naturally— for not one of his reasons is worthy of a man 
who claims a championship. No wonder he was silent. 
But now that he has, in a decidedly personal letter, made such de- 
fense of his conduct as was possible, it is due our readers that we 
should consider that defense. 
After readinsr through the letter we find three reasons for silence 
and two reasons for not wanting to shoot Elliott. Two of his reasons 
for silence were that he had been bass flshiug and corn huskiDg; the 
other is treated of later. His reasons for not wanting to shoot Elliott 
were: (i ), "I will say risht here that I have not been looking; for any 
shooting matches lately;" and (ii ), "I do not think that midsumcner, 
when the birds are nesting and in poor feather, is the best time to 
shoot live-bird matches in championship events." 
TO HAISE THB STATUS OF THE CAST IRON BADGE. 
In the second paragraph of his letter Mr. Grimm writes: "It Is not 
so very long since Mr. Banks wanted to have t e cast-iron medal and 
the Kansas City .5far cup welded together. But that cannot be done 
just at present, for I think it a proper idea to have one trophy with- 
out a strinff lied to it, and I believe the cast iron medal is the only 
medal of that kind, because the American KeW wiug-shot cup is 
now owned by an individual and not open for competition. It is very 
evident that Mr Banks does not know the circumstances in this case, 
or Mr. Elliott, as well as I do, or he would not wonder at my silence, 
or why Mr. Elliott and myself do not .shoot." 
It is quite true that Ave did suggest welding the two trophies to- 
gether, and the suggestion was made with the idea of giving the cast- 
iron badge some intrinsic value as a championship emblem The his- 
tory of the badge itself shows just how much value it has as such: 
In Novemtje'', 1894, some four or Ave champions or would-be cham- 
pions got together in Chicago, agreed to shoot for 850 a corner, one 
money, 100 birds per man, for a badge of no flnancial value what- 
ever, and then drew into the net a few more shooters to make the 
shoot of some note in point of numbers at least. In less than seventy- 
two hours from the time of drawing up the articles of agi'eement in_ 
a private room in the American Field otTdce, and with practically no 
publication of the condition.? of the race, and with no due notice of 
such an event being given to any other shooters in the country, this 
great cbampionsbip shoot— the contest for the cast-iron chaoipion- 
ship of the United Slates— was shot off, and George Klpinman de- 
clared the winner. The other competitors were: Brewer, Carver. 
Griram, Elliott, Bingham, R. S. Mott (Robin) and 0. W. Budd. If 
such conditions as the above are all that are necessary to constitute a 
championship, why shouldn't there be apy quantity ot champions 
supplied at three days' notice? It wouldn't cost much to turn out a 
dozen champions by a stated date. The stakes might be nominal; 
entries limited; Si the maximum price of the championship emblem, 
and the cost oE birds put down to bottom prices. No conditions ap- 
parently (if we follow the precedent established above) would have 
to be made public prior to the shooting of the event. Let us havs a 
fluid-steel medal championship, a spittoon championship, and a host 
of similar titles to fight for. 
The last part of ttie paragraph quoted above is rather superfluous. 
We no longer wonder at Mr. Grimm's silence, or "why Mr. Elliott and 
myself do not shoot," now that we are acquainted vrith Mr. Grimm's 
versijn ot what he terms "the circumstances in this case." 
KOT LOOKING ffOR MATCHES. 
''I will say right here that I have not been looking for any shooting 
matches lately, and when a man really wishes a shooting matchnow- 
adays he is liable to get one very quickly." 
Here's the pith of the whole matter. In the above sentence, quoted 
from his letter, Mr Grimm leaves the public but one inference, viz : 
that he dops not want to shoot, and is willing to take advantage of a 
very trivial eiTor in the form of Elliott's challenge, in order that he 
may retain his championship honors without a contest. 
'•I do not think that the midsummer, when the birds are nesting and 
■Jn poor feather is the best time to shoot live-bird matches in cham- 
pionship events." 
Mr. Grimm has a perfect right to his opinion on that point, and, as 
a matter of fact, we agree with him to a certain extent. But neither 
Mr. Grimm nor eurselves can expect everybody to think as we do, 
and a challenged party has only a lioiited time in which to defend 
his trophy. With the cast iron badge the limit is sixty days. Elliott 
deposited his forfeit with Forest and Stream on July 8. This gave 
Grimm until Sept. 5. Now, suppose Grimm bad let tlie matter go by 
for thirty days, say until Aug. 7, but had then written Elliott of his 
error, or made his reasons for not accepting the challenge public. 
The match could then have taken place, after a new challenge, some- 
where about the second week of October, tarktog into account delays 
in mailing, etc. The second week of October is not midsummer by 
any means; but then— "I have not been looking for any shooting 
matches lately." 
When Mr. Grimm further on in Ms letter refers to a rS-bird race 
shot in Kansas City in April last, when four men out of twelve 
killed 2i scraight, and everybody in the event got in for the money, 
he confirms us in our opinion of Kansas City shooters as a rule; there 
are lotsjof excellent shots there, and one of them is particularly 
skillful. 
There is another point that Mr. Grimm seems to have overlooked 
in decrying championship contests on midsummer birds: It is the 
same for all. Another champion might say that he didn't like to 
shoot at midwinter birds, when the pigeons are heavily clad with 
feathers and hard to bring down. What the holder of a trophy 
thinks as regards weather and quality of birds is of little value when 
somebody else challenges him to shoot within a given time. It is 
then a case of shoot, forfeit or squizzle; sometimes it's a squizzle! 
ELLIOTT MAKES KG CLAIM. 
Passing on to another portion of Mr. Grimm's letter, we find the 
following paragraph: ''Now, to return to the cast-iron medal. Mr. 
Elliott helped make the rules governing that emblem, and he alone 
Cannot amend them, just ac present. Also, if Mr. Elliott really 
thought he had any claim to the medal, he would make a loud noise 
abouc it; he knows how to halloo as well as Mr. Banks. I am truly 
sorry tnat Mr Banks should think that I would be silent if I had any 
reason for saying anything; also, I am sorry he should think thac 
I would not give up hke a gentleman if I had forfeited, for I will do 
so yet if I do forfeit." 
If Mr. Grimm will read over once more the interview our Western 
correspondent had with Elliott on this point, he will see that Elliott 
. makes no claim for the cast-iron badge, having become aware of his 
error in posting his forfeit with Fohbsx ai»d Stream in preference to 
depositing it with our Western cotemporary. As to our opinion of 
Mr, Grimm and his silence under the circumstances, thac has by now 
, been well defined in these columns. We still think, and always shall 
' think, that Mr. Grimm took refuge behind a remarkably small bush 
in oreler to protect bis championship emblem and his title. 
The latter part of the paragraph is best answered by quoting what 
we wrote on the point in our issue of Sept. 11: "Jim ElUott's victory 
over Charlie Budd gives him two championship emblems and titles: 
he has won the Star cup and the Du Pont trophy. The cast-iron 
badge alone remains, and it would seem that that, too, belongs to 
him by virtue of forfeiture, Charlie Grimm not having paid any atten- 
tion Co the chillenge issued by Elliott at the same time, and" in the 
same let er, that he challenged for the two trophies above mentioned. 
There may be something back of this silence on the part of Grimm, 
but what it is we cannot guess, and our correspondent who reported 
the Budd-Elliott match at Eau Claire, Wis., gives us no clew. Not 
havmg a copy of the conditions governing challenges for this trophy, 
we would hazard the statemenc that the non acceptance of a chaUenge 
for the cast^-iron medal necessarily carries with h the forfeiture of all 
right to the medal, and to whatever title goes along with the emblem. 
If we are wrong on thi.s point, will some one who is familiar wiih the 
conditions kindly correct us." 
ONLY ONK HISTAKB. 
Proceeding with Grimm's epistle: "Mr. Banks says, 'Mr. Grimm is 
too good a sportsman and too good a fellow to seek to hold a trophy 
hke the cast-iron badge by virtue of such an insigniflcant breach in 
the conditions governing challenges for the same;' and he intimates 
that I should have noiitied Mr. Elliott of his mistake. Well, if I 
should undertake to notify Mr. Elhoct of all his mistakes, I might be 
kept very busy, as much so, perhaps, as Mr. Banks is in notifying me 
from time to time of my mistakes. I am sorry to have made a bad 
impression among the shooters by keeping silent. But a great many 
of our shooters and champions are making a very bad imjjression by 
saying too much, even without the aid of other people." 
VVe have never suggested that Mr. Grimm should do anything more 
than we imagine eny sportsman would have done; that is, notify El- 
liott of his one bltmaer. We are sorry, too, that Atr. Grimm has made 
a bad impression bj his silence; and we regret to inform him chat he 
has undoubtedly made that bad impression worse by permitting the 
"signed"), to appear in print. Ic is nothing more than an open con- 
fession that he took advantage of an eri'or m the terms ot a challenge, 
in order that he might not have to defend his trophy and possibly lose 
his title. 
MOEB REASONS FOR SILENCE, 
Mr. Grimm goes on to state that "there were several other reasons 
for my silence." So far as we can see, he gives three, two of which 
do not seem at aU pertinent or endowed with any strength, (i.), "It 
Is disgusting to hear people say too much, or to have others saying 
too much for them." (11.), "Another good reason for my sil»nc» was 
that I was off baas fishing." Both the above reasons may be dis- 
missed without further comment. 
The third reason is, however, most decidedly apropos, and confirms 
what we have written above. This is the reason, also In Grimm's 
own words (if the letter is his own production) : "I consider It a very- 
good reason for keeping silent, when a man who helped to make the 
rules governing the championship of America, and who pledged him- 
self to them and shot under them, will not comply with those rules 
in issuing a challenge; and that is why I have not taken any trouble 
to answer his challenge." 
What is Mr. Grimm driving at? He knows that no championship 
could be claimed unless the conditions of challenge were oDserved. 
Does he mean us to infer that Elliott was afraid of him, and pur- 
posely made the error in posting his forfeit with Forest and Stream? 
Does anybody think that Elliott is afraid to shoot a match with Grimm 
for the cast-iron badge? The reason given is absolutely no pertinent 
reason at all. 
The remainder of Mr. Grimm's long letter is of no particular inter- 
est, as it wanders from the subject, being chiefly concerned with 
small personalities which are aimed at other individuals as well 
as ourselves, but which do not apply to the case under discussion. 
The closing paragraph is, however, worth reproducing: 
NOT A NEWSPAPER WRITER. 
"In conclusion I will say, Mr. Banks seemed to think it necessary 
for me to say something, and I have done so, and have given him the 
facts. My business is farming and stock-raising, not newspaper 
writing: therefore I will quit that diversion right here. But I will 
pick up my gun from time to time, so as to be in good form should 
it become necessary. I hope this will quiet the newspaper talk and 
self-advertising business. I will now pick up my old corn-hiisker 
once more, and I hope this time in peace, unless some one comes 
along who means business." 
For a man whose "business is farming and stock-raising, not news- 
paper writing," Mr. Grimm makes quite a fair attempt at the latter 
business io this letter signed "Charles M. Grimm." 
IS NEW JERSEY. 
MATCHES AT MARION, 
Sept. US —A series of matches was brought off at the grounds of 
the Endeavor Gun Club. Marion, N. J , this afternoon. Ordinary 
human beings would have stayed indoors and kept dry, but it has to 
rain verv hard before trap-shooters will quit; so, despite the raw 
northeast wind and constant rain, all the matches scheduled for 
decision were brought off. There were about a couple of dozen 
tpectators, too; among them Captain A. W Money, Ferd Van Dyke, 
Dr. Hunt, Joe Kehoe, Seeley, etc. It seemed strange to see Captain 
Money and Ferd Van Dyke at a shoot without guns, but the weather 
was 80 bad that they very wisely left theirs behind. 
The first match was the 200-target race between 147 and Al 
Heritage's nominee, 100 targets, expert rules, and, 100 targets, un- 
known angles, total score to count. The stakes were a dinner for ten 
at Taylor's Hotel, Jersey City ; a Dunlap hat and apair of shoes; loser 
to pay for the targets. The targets were thrown about as far as the 
club's bluerock expert traps would throw them, and all were thrown 
low, with the exception of No. 5, which was quite high in comparison 
with the others. W. L. Gardiner, of Norwalk, O , was chosen referee, 
and to his credit be it said that he never flinched from his duty, 
sitting out in the raiu without a murmur, or anything else to protect 
him save an umbrella; and that wasn't much protection from the 
rain that came right in his face, driven by the northeast wind 
that at times rose to the dignity of quite a strong breeze. Mr. 
Gardiner's refereeing was never once called in question, and that 
means a great deal, for the light was so bad that it was often ex- 
tremely hard to see the targets. Carl von Lengerke worked the in- 
dicator, five gun wads, and dealt out the traps without fear or favor. 
Billy, the club's puller and majir-domo, pulled the traps, while Ferd 
Van Dyke marked down the scores, and smiled when the Os came 
thick and fast. Toward the close of the match, when the second 50 
at unknown angles were being shot, the referee also grew quite hila- 
rious over the numerous ciphers that rolled in. He did not laugh 
quite so loudly, nor so strongly, when his turn came. It is true that 
the scores, particularly in the unknown angles, do look ridiculous; 
they certainly should have been much higher. But the conditions 
were severe, the match being shot thus: First, the 100 targets, expert 
rules, were disposed of, each shooter having to walk from the club 
house to the score for every series of 5 targets; before this part of 
the match was half over, they were wet through and decidedly chilly; 
then canae the unknown angles, the whole 100 targets being shot at 
without a Hreak or a rest, 147 cooling off his gun with a bucket of 
water. When all hese things are considered, added to the bad light, 
fast targets, hard angles, and a driving rain in the face of the shoot- 
ers, it will be seen that there is some cause to plead extenuating cir- 
cumstances. The result of the match was in favor of Heritage's 
nominee by a satisfactory margin, 147 inviting the party to partake 
of his hospitality at Taylor's Hotel the same evening. 
Carl von Lengerke and W. L. Gardiner in their 50-target, unknown 
angles, double act, were next on the programnae. Carl's run of 16 
straight in the first 25, and Gardiner's repeated f aUures in the second 
half, were chiefly responsible for the result of 39 to 35 in favor of the 
Jersey man Mr. Gardiner's friends out in Ohio will probably wonder 
what he was doing. If they had been present they would have, per- 
haps, wondered how he broke so many under the conditions. 
The third niatch was between Heritage and 147, the stakes being 
cigars for the dinner party The Jersey southpaw lost the cigars; 
the bad light, fast targets and the heavy rain on his glasses were too 
big a handicap, even with his allowance of 5 excra targets to 
shoot at 
A. fourth match was made and shot, the conditions being as follows: 
Gardiner and 147 vs. Carl von Lengerke and Banks, 100 targets per 
man, unknown angles. The Lengerke-Banks combination won easily, 
but the victory was entirely owing to the excellent shooting done by 
Von Lengerke, who shot a remarkable race under the circumstances. 
Ordinarily Carl shoots in slow time, but to-day he shoe quickly and 
pulverized his targets before they got any start on him. His score is 
really very much better than it looks on paper, being actually httle 
.short of miraculous.

BERGEN COUNTY WINS FROM RIVEBSIDE. 
Sept. au —The Riverside Gun Club, of Red Bank, N. J , sent a 10- 
men team to visit the Bergen County Gun Club at Hackensack, N. J., 
this afternoon. The conditions of the race were 50 targets per man, 
unknown angles. After the heavy rain and persistent northeasterly 
■wind of the previous day, the clear, bright sky and soft southwest wind 
of to-day were quite a treat. Everything looked favorable for high 
scores, lJut with a few exceptions on each side, the results were dis- 
appoinclng. The home team won by 18 breaks, not a large number 
when it is considered that £00 targets were shot by each team. Tak- 
ing the teams man for man, it looks upon paper as if the Bergen 
County was much the stronger of the two. Buc the last five men on 
the team were clean off in their shooting, both Ed. Taylor and F. 
Sinnock being physically unfit for the work they had in hand 
The race was shot in squads of six, three men from each team, 25 
targets per man at a clip. The result of the firsc round was in favor 
of the Bergen County Club with 198 breaks against 191, a lead of 7. 
The second roimd resulted also in favor of the home team with 203 
breaks against 192, an additional 11 to the good. The high score in 
the first round was 23; this was made by N. E. Money and W. Watts, 
both teams thus dividing this honor. The second round also saw 
honors divided in this line, Ferd Van Dyke and Oscar Hesse, the 
president of the Walsrode Powder Company in this company, both 
scoring 25 straight. Watts, of the Riversides, was again well to the 
fore with a 24, Fogarty and Banks scoring similar totals for their 
te&m. Noel Money and Capt, Money both shot good scores, materially 
halpln? with their totals of 44 and 48 respectively, to make the victory 
more binding, The detailed gcoreg follow:
