Crawforo.SViLle, Tnd,, Oct. 25. -As per announcement which 
appeared in your jourmd, the annual live-bird shoot of the Craw- 
fordsville Gun Club took place yesterday and to-day. .We had 
the grandest weather ever known this time of year — bright sun- 
shine, and warm enough to cause the shooters to hunt the shade, 
with just enough cross wind to assist the sparrows in their zig- 
zag, and to carry some hard-hit pigeons over the boundary line. 
It was the universal opinion of all present that the grounds and 
arrangements were the nio.st perfect that could be found any- 
wliere. The sparrows were lively and the pigeons strong, clean 
and fresh from the country — probably not above halt a dozen sitters in 
the whole lot. The good scores made may indicate that the birds 
were easy. Vet not so, as 1 can toll you tljat the Shooters were 
shooters and in fine fettle. • , 
This enterprising city has long been known to all shooters as 
being famous for its excellent tournaments, and much of it is 
due to its being the home of Ed Voris, that prince of good 
fellows, and champion live-bird shot" of the State. But he has 
very able assistants in Chas. E. Lacy, secretary, and Mac Still- 
well, general manager. Then again there is Frank .Snyder, L. D. 
Helm, Frank Davis, Chas. Servies and others to make up a great 
team. This, together with the Crawford House to furnish first- 
class entertainment, Vv'ill cause the boys to journey to Crawfords- 
ville just as often as they get a programme announcing a shoot. 
The attendance was not large, btit then they were enthusiastic 
and stayers, quite a majority of them being old-timers. 
Those v,'hom I remember were E. S. Rice and Tr.amj) Irwin, of 
Chicago; C. W. Budd, of Des Moines, la.; E. FI. Tripp, Geo. J. 
Marott and H. Comstock, of Indianapolis; J. C. Small and H. B. 
Hill, of Aurora; A. C. Par.sons and his daughter Orpha, of Frank- 
fort, Ind. ; J. L. Head, of I'eru; Joe Blistam and Al Livenguth, 
Lafayette; \V. H, Washburn, New Richmond; C. B. Wiggins, 
Homer, 111.; H. W. Cadwallader, Danville, 111.; Mr. Lamme, 
Attica, and Marc Reed, of Lafayette. 
The list reveals a number of old-timers, while among the tender- 
feet I think honors for best shooting fell to Mr. Wiggins. 
The way the 2,200 sparrows were grassed can be readily seen by 
referring to the following recapitulation:

This shows that Charley Budd was best man, his score being 
148 out of a possible 1.55. Mr. Washburn, of New Richmond, was 
second with 144, while E. II. Tripp had 142, and H. B. Hill 141 
to their credit. Mr. Washburn was the Dtily- lucky winner, as he 
captured a couple of firsts. 
Second Day, 
Pigeon shooting proved more interesting, as you will discover 
a number of new names in the scores. There is a vast difference 
between shooting sparrows and pigeons, hence pigeon shooting 
seems the most attractive, yet I cannot sec why sparrow shooting 
should not become more popular. It would, no doubt, if every 
town had a'Flill to catch and trap them. 
As before mentioned, the pigeons were extra good, and such aS 
any good shot would enjoy shooting. Nearly all of them were' 
right or left or direct drivers. Birds were retrieved by Mac 
Stillwell's pointer dog Hazard, and by John L. Weber's black 
octter dog Dan. Both did well, but Dan was the more lively in hi? 
work, and was under perfect control. 
The supply of pigeons was limitad>. aitd. anly Soiix '<?f the six 
events scheduled were shot off. 
Event No, 1, 7 birds, entrance $5; Budd 5, Tripp 6, Cadwallader 
7, Wiggins 6, Webb 5, Helm 6, Butler 5, Sarviss 6, Voris 7, Tramp 
7, McGinnis 7, Lacey B. Rice 2, Hill 6, Miller 5, Anson 7. 
Event No. 2, 10 birds, entrance ,$7.50: Budd 10, Tripp 10, Cad. 
wallader 8, Wiggins 10, Webb 5, Butler S, Voris 8, Tramp 10, Mc- 
Ginnis 7, Lacey 8, Rice 8, Hill 9, Nutley 5, Livenguth 8, Sloro 8, 
Small 6, Snyder 7, Anson 10. 
Event No. 3, handicaps from 27 to 31vds., 15 birds, entrance $15: 
Budd (31) 14, Tripp (30) 14, Cadwallader (30) 13, Wiggins (30) 14, 
Webb (27) 13, Butler (28) 13, Voris (30) 15, Tramp (30) 15; Mc- 
Ginnis (30) 13, Hill (30) 14, Stillwell (27) 18, Reed (27) 12, Anson 
(29) 12. 
Event No. 4, 7 birds, entrance $5: Tripp 6, Cadwallader 6, 
Wiggins 7, Webb 6, Butler 6, Sai-vis 4, Voris 6, Tramp 7, Mc- 
Ginnis 5, Plill 6, Miller 5, Livenguth 6, Reed 4. 
Event No. 5, miss-and-out, $1 entrance. Tliis was divided be- 
tween Cadwallader, Butler, Tramp and Hill. 
A glance will show that the honors rest with the old Tramp, his 
straight score throughout all the matches bebig an enviable one. 
Forty-one straiglit is seldom made on such occasions. 
Mr. Wiggins came next, having lost btit 2 dead out, 1 ol 
these being chased out by the retriever. ]5udd, Voris and I'ripp 
lost 3 each, while Flill lo.st 4 and Cadwallader 5. 
Headquarters Crawford House. 
Only think on Oct. 25 the thermometer registering 80 degrees. 
'hie universal verdict was, "Well done, Crawford sville I We will 
all come again." . . 
Mr. E. S. Rice became so rtiiicji interested m tliem "pesky little 
brown birds," with their erratic moveJnents that he fired about 
300 shots first day; in fact, a few others only stopped when there 
were no more in the Hill coops. 
When the end came and the guns were laid away and the score 
sheet was made out, it was announced that one of the oldest men 
pn the grounds, viz., Tramp Irwin, had shot in every event and 
made a clean record. He was warmly congratulated by all 
present. 
Do you realize that for a number of years sparrow shooting has 
been conducted in but only a very few places outside of Indiana? 
And then the sparrows were furnished almost, if not entirely, by 
one man, W. T. Hill, of Indianapolis. 
Sparrow shooting could be made as popular as pigeons if shooter."; 
and clubs would look into this fascinating sport. It is more de- 
ceiving, and therefore more interesting. The greatest trouble is in 
catching, keeping and handling the little birds. Mr. iTill is M 
present about the only man who has mastered the art and can 
successfully trap them. 
There are many things in their favor for use in tt)urnamrnr,s. 
They cost but half as much as pigeons; they can be shot inr.rr 
than five times as fast as pigeons; then there is no cruelty' c..>ti 
nccted therewith. Pigeons are house pets, whereas the Engli.-;h 
sparrows are everywhere pronounced house pests. 
ViSTTOK. 
Country Gun Club. 
Myer.stom'n. Pa., Oct. 21.— A small crowd of members 
thtir hands at bluerocks and birds this afternoon. The dav w.i :\- 
fine as could be — no better for shooting. Nos. 1, 2, 4, 5 rii I i 
■were at bluerocks, and No. 3 at birds. 
Several small prizes were shot for in Nos, 3, 4 and 5. 
The club had announced a shoot to be held on Thank.';^ • n'j 
but has postponed it on account of the scarcity of pigeons. I.i 
hopes to get one up at some early day. W'e" have enrolled : ■• 
new members, and by untiring efforts expect to swell our nii. : • 
some and thereby revive trapshooting in this section.
