Y.\nnvii.t,E, N. J., March 24.— The contest between Messrs, J. 
A. R. Elliott, of Kansas City, and R, O, Heikcs, oi Dayton, O., 
for possession of the cast iron medal, was shot at Zwerlein's 
grounds to-day. From a spectator's point of view, it was a highly 
interesting affair, and fraught with much excitement, owing to the 
superior quality of the bird.s and the many sensational kills the 
contestants found .necessary repeatedly to make in order to score 
the number they did. 
The match begun at 1 :.50. Elliott, having won the toss, elected 
to in;ntgurate' the race. He readily negotiated his first bird, a 
rather ordinary one, while, on the other hand. Heikes was re- 
quired to kill a very fast-twisting driver. Elliott's second was a 
similar bird, but it got away with the loss of a few feathers. Heikes 
retained this advantage but briefly, as his missed bis fouth, also a 
good one. Neither experienced any further trouble until the 13th, 
wJicn Heikes had the bad luck to lose an extraordinarily fast bird 
dead out of bounds. Apparently both loads were placed right, but 
it went down wind with maiwelous rapidity. Being very strong, it 
llcw quite a ways beyond the boundary before it collapsed. Elliott, 
however, lost liis very next bird, a low-flying driver; each charge 
made the featlici-s fly, but after it got beyond the boundary a bush- 
whacker gave it its quietus. 
1 Inis. matters stood :if the end of the first string of 25, each hav- 
ing then scored 23. Each lost his 27th bird dead out of bounds. 
Elliott's was a very fast one, but Heikes' was an ordinary one. 
This bird acted in a very peculiar manner, flying straight.away 
until struck with the second charge, when it veered in the op- 
posite direction, coming back over the dead line, flying against a 
spectator in its eifort to escape. Had it continued on its original 
course in ?H probabilities it would have been scored. 
After losing his 27th, Elliott by dint of good shooting and a 
very large portion of luck ran 43 straight, not cncounteriitg any 
losses until the 72d round, when he undersliot a driver with both 
loads. liowever, he had been very fortunate in gatliering his 32d. 
This bird, a sitter, was overshot, when it finally hopped up. hut 
very obligingly lit again. The second was properly place_d, but, 
though the shot seemed to envelop the bird, the latter immediately 
took wing with some vigor, though stopped again vvithhi bounds aitd 
finallj' gathered by some activity on the part of the dog. Luck 
again favored Elliott on his 35th. An incomer, a very swift one, 
uuartering off to the right, was hard hit, thoitgh ai)parently strong 
enough to go out, obligingly struck the top of the wire netting 
and stopped inside. 
In the "meantime Heikes was having all kinds of trouble. Draw- 
ing an unusual proportion of hard birds, he was unable to nego- 
tiate them all. He lost his -'Gth dead out of bounds, and missed 
his 43d and 45th, so that in his second string he only scored 21 
to Elliott's 24. This put the latter 3 ahead at the end of 50, From 
the 45th to the 75th, Heikes did some consistent shooting, making 
.1 run of 29. On the 72d round he cut down Elliott's lead 1, but 
lost it ag.qin on the 75th roujid, missing another very fast bird. 
Elliott missed his 80th, and Heikes killed straight up to the 86th, 
when he again missed one of those twisting drivers. 
On the 88th round Elliott was still 3 in the lead, so that with 
only 12 more to shoot it looked like a certainty that he would re- 
tain possession of the medal. But fortune forsook him on the last 
quarter of the match, and while he had been favored in the draw 
up to then, he was now getting much the hardest birds. His S9tli 
was a very hard one, that he apparently never caught up with. He 
follow-cd this up by undershooting the very next, which was a good 
one, but not near so fast. He permitted the Dayton shooter to 
even up matters when he missed his 93d, a bird of the quality of 
his 89th, Heikes was shooting with great care and deterraination, 
strainittg every nerve to make it a tie at least. However, he fell 
down on his 95th, a slow flying left-quarterer that he evidently 
shot ahead of, for at each discharge of ti e gun the bi»l stag- 
gered as though hit, but recovered and flew away. This gave 
Elliott another opportunity to win the match if he could kill the 
remaining 5 birds. He all but accomplished this, failing on the 
final bird, which would have insured the match to him, irrespective 
of what Heikes did in this round. 
This final bird was a good one, though not near so fast as many 
he had killed. Hit too far back, it flew a long Avays before it 
succumbed. When this miss occurred it still remained for Heikes 
to kill his last bird to make the race a tie. His first load was 
properly placed, so that the suspense was over as soon, as the 
bird was liberated. Thus the result was that each scored 91 on 
an exceptionally hard lot of birds. 
It was agreed to shoot the tie off at once, so that aftef an inter- 
mission of about ten minutes, the time necessary to procure an 
additional supply of birds, the contest proceeded. 
Heikes, who all alon^ had shown such rare judgment, made a 
rather inauspicious beginning, losing his very first bird by poor 
head work. He drew a trim-looking bird that walked rapidly away 
from him. After adding several yards to the allotted distance, it 
fiiiallv took wing and gained such a start that the shooter never 
eaijght up, »nd the V\ri escape unhijS'Stted. W'hat mie Heike?' 
chances look dMbiows seen ehannged, as Eliioti loiet bi,s very oext 
bird, so that they were once more tied, Now each shooter got down 
to busmesB and both fared well until the 19th round, when Elliott 
lost a hard one. The lo.-'s of the 22d put him 2 behind. Heikes lost 
his 23d, but Elliott followed suit by missing his 24th. Thus 
Heikcs had only to kill his 1 of his remaining 2 to win the match. 
He killed his 24th, but lost his last. In this round he drew a little 
hopper, which he tried to kill as it flipped up, but the bird was 
on the ground when the charge reached it and the reteree ordered 
another. As the match was already won he was somewhat care- 
less, and when -he drew a good one he failed to stop it. The final 
score in the shoot-olT was lieikes 22, Elliott 21. Heikes had good 
nek on his lOth bird in this final string. Though he hit it hard it 
Ucw almost to llie straightaway boundary before it fell dead. 
J rom the above it will be seen that Heikes shot a wonderful 
t'.p-hill race and ultimately won after it appeared as though he 
was hopelessly beaten. 
Heikcs' best kills were his 1st, 5th. 9th, 12th. 18th, 23d, 25th, 28th. 
3l,th, 46th, 55th, .59th, 00th, 61st, 64th, 66th, '77th, S2d, 84th, 89th. 
91st, 93d and 94th. 
His good kills in the shoot-off were his 6th, 7th and 8th. Two o! 
Ills lost birds were easy ones— the 27th and 95th. 
J, "'Pi^"^ ^PP'-' ii'il's -were his 9th. llth, 15th, 17th, 23d, 30th, 34th, 
4]st, 60th 62d, 64th, 69th, 74th, 75th, 76th, 77th, 88th, 97th anci 99th. 
-I he good shoot-off birds he killed were is 10th and 16th. 
In considering the above it must be understood that these were 
the best of the many good- ones. Further evidence of the quality 
oi tiie birds is attested by the match having been shot in one hour 
and twentj'-nme minutes, which with the stvle of trapping here 
.\oguc IS exceptionally fast time. The excellent manner in 
which the dogs performed and the activity the trappers displayed 
aided materially to accomplish this. The time mentioned of course 
only embraces ihiit which it took to shoot the match proper, as 
tJ)c shoot-off was much slower, the birds in it being of a much 
inferior quality. In this 50 there were 3 no birds called, while in 
the original match there was not a single one. One peculiarity 
aliout llic birds here was that the majority twisted. 
In the match proper each had the same' number of sitters---8— 
while in the shoot-off Elliott had 4 and Heikes 1. 
1 he weather was clear and there was a good wind blowing from 
left to right across the traps, so that right quartering bifds going 
down this attained a high rate of speed. 
Heikes shot a Parker single- trigger gun, SYg of E, C. powder in 
V. M. C. Go. Trap shells, 
Elliott shot a Winchester takedown gun, 4S grains of Hazard 
powder in Winchester Leader shells. 
Mr. W. R. Crosby was referee and Geo. Ciipperly pulled the 
traps, fir J f 
ElHott and Heikes have now shot three matches. Elliott defeated 
Heikes for the Star cup at. Kansas City, in May, '98, by 94 to 93 
In ,Tuly, 99, he defeated Heikes for the cast iron medal and 
thereafter retained possession of it until to-day. In the meantime 
he deteatcd Chas. Young, 95 to 93; Chas, Zwerlein. 95 to 81: De 
Bow. 99 to 93, and Doty, 91 to 81. 
Heikes, however, has won the medal six times, winning it from 
Chas, Grimm at Chicago in December, '?7, by 91 to 87, and after- 
ward defending it against the same shooter at Dayton O., in Jan- 
uary, 98; score, 93 to 90. In July of the same year 'he defended 
it against Fred CHIbert at Eau Claire, kilHng 99 to Gilbert's 94 
Next he beat W. R. Elliston, of Nashville, in October of the same 
year by 96 to 94. He last defended it against Budd at the samr 
place ieh. 22—91 to 82.
