A Tramp Beats Cadwallader. 
Attica, Ind., Oct. 29. — The match that yon mentioned in last 
issue to come off here between W. Tramp Irwin, of Chicago, and 
H. VV. Cadwallader, of Danville, was shot here this afternoon upon 
the gun club's grounds. It proved to be very interesting, as was 
witnessed by many of the citizens of this and the surrounding 
towns. 
The conditions as to grounds and weather were against the 
shooters, while the birds were an extra good lot, and kept the 
shooters very uneasy at all times. 
The weather was warm, and the sky was overcast for the greater 
part of the time. As the end was nearing, a very black cloud came 
up, and in a few moments after the last gun was fired the heavens 
opened and the rain fell in such quantites as to prevent the con- 
tinuation of a little target match. 
As to grounds, it had been arranged to have the shooting on 
a level meadow, and the veteran Daddy Ryan and .Squire Harvey 
spent a day's time arranging them, only to sec their labors go for 
naught, as a sudden and unexpected incident happened, and they 
had to use their regular target ground. This was not a proper 
pigeon ground, as the traps were set in a depression, and there 
was a decided up-hill slope just back of the traps. _This would 
cause the shooter to undershoot, especially with the tirst barrel. 
After a little maneuvering on part of the contestants, the follow- 
ing selections were made, viz. : C. B. Lamme to hold stakes and 
keep the official score; Al Livenguth, of Lafayette, referee; George 
Miller, trap puller, and J. L. Webber to handle his dog Dan to do 
the retrieving. It was agreed bj' both that birds near the traps 
should be brought in by the trappers, and those falling at some 
distance from the traps should be retrieved by the dog. 
T will here just note that the dog had little to do. yet he 
brought in one of Tramp's and one of Cadwallader's that fell in- 
side the regulation boundary. I should have mentioned previously 
that the boundary used was but 30yds. from the center trap. The 
scores made were as follows: 
Tramp 0121111211122*221112*11112122122211112212221222222—47 
Cadwallader 22i)22112222121221*221212212222*12111211li202111222— 4f> 
.\bove shows that the Tramp got a bit rattled on Jiis first, and it 
got away without much if any punishment. He claims — and justly, 
too — that the trap was not pulled over, and the bird got away be- 
hind it and was thus lost. Cad fared better, stopping his first 
neatly and using the second for safety. Each shot in turn, and 
Tramp was killing all dead with the first, but Cad slipped up on 
his 3d shot, a very easy one, that could hardly fly beyond the 
boundary line. Both made many goot shots, .and at th'e end of 
the first 25 Cad was 1 ahead. But as Cad lost 2 out of the last 
25 and the Tramp ran out straight from the 21st shot he lost the 
match by 1 bird. 
The work of Webber's dog was fine, and the referee had it all 
his way. and was very correct and impartial save in one instance — 
where Tramp let a bird get on the ground before firing. The 
referee said afterward he thought it his business to call dead and 
then for the other party to challenge. Be that as it may, the bird 
was scored dead, and did not affect the result. 
The match was so even that the many spectators were much in- 
terested, and they expressed a desire to hear of these good shots 
Ijeing matched soon again. A. B. C. 
Peters Cartridge Co/s Tournament at Jackson- 
ville, Fla. 
JACKSONVI1.LE, Fla.. Oct. 30. — To-day saw the closing of the 
second and last day's successful shoot given by the Peters Cartridge 
Co., of Cincinnati, under the auspices of the Jacksonville Gun 
Club. It was characterized by a mar\'e!ous exhibiHon of trap- 
shooting, and the scores were remarkable under the fact that the 
targets were not easy marks by any means. 
In the amateur ranks Barney Worthen tied Jack Fanning, of 
New York, the second daj' for high average on a percentage of 
97, each breaking 170 out of 175 targets shot at. The main feature 
of Mr, Worthen's shooting was the fact of his breaking 69 targets 
straight, which is considered something extra fine for an amateur. 
Mr. Worthen was much pleased with his score, and says he owes 
it to his load, which was 3drs. of King's Smokeless, l^^^oz. No. 
.7^ chilled shot, in Ideal shells. - 
Dr. Wilson, of Savannah, made the high amateur average for the 
two day.s, viz., 96. For this remarkable performance he was pre- 
sented with the handsome gold locket donated by the Peters 
Cartridge Co. for the amateur making high average of the tourna- 
ment. 
Mr. John Parker also shot in nearly every event, and was well 
up among the leaders at the finish. As he had the management in 
hand, this was a great strain on him, and his good shooting under 
the circumstances was remarkable. Col. Anthony, the old re- 
liable, was also up with the leaders. ■ . 
After the shooting was concluded for the day a meeting ot the 
sportsmen was held at the Duval Hotel, where Mr. Irby Bennett 
in an appropriate speech presented Dr. Wilson with the trophy. 
The Doctor responded in an equally appropriate manner. .Viessrs. 
Fanning, Parker, Spcrry and Col. Anthony were called upon tor 
speeches. and many happv stories were told, until a. call was made 
for the dining room. I'here the hungry sho-ters de"VMistratrrt 
their ability around the mahogany in as excellent a manner as 
thev did at the traps. An aMiecd mat tiie buu.jt waa .. t,.a.^.. 
success, and a full and just meed of praise was due the 1 eters 
Cartridge Co. for their generous and sportsmanlike siiirit in giving 
a new impetus to Irapshooting, particularly here in Florida, where 
trapshooting was on the wane. 
A memorial of thanks was drafted and presented to the repre- 
sentatives of the Peters Cartridge Co., Messrs. Parker & Eemcke, 
for their interesting efforts to make the shoot a successful and in- 
teresting one, and" thanks to Ur. Sjierry, secretary of the Jack- 
sonville Gun Club and host of the Duval, for his efforts to make 
the visit of the shooters also a pleasant one, 
.After tJie tournament one day was devuicd to hve-bird shooting. 
It was sweepstake shooting entirely. The birds were a fair average 
lot. Toward the last there was a miss-and-out event until it came 
down to Fanning. Fox, Parker and Baker. It ^vas getting darker 
every minute, and soon Fox lost; a little later Fanning went out, 
and then it was down to Parker and JiaKer. Alter eacu round 1 
contestants went back a yard, starting from the 30yd. mark back 
to 40, when Baker won, Parker drawing a dark bdic bird that he 
had to get down on his knees to see. It was not seen by Parker 
or the spectators until it got too far away to be killed, _ 
Baker was congratulated by all for 'his game race. He is from 
Griffin, Ga., and he will soon be among the cracker jacks. Shooters 
want t9|!ook out for this voung man. He i.s only eighteen years 
old.

then be ^determined whether the pigeon shoots are to be con- 
tinued. The season prizis will be awarded and other matters of

the compilation of the season's averages:

Northcott; Class C, J. D. Pollard. Targets thrown during the 
season, 36,543; targets broken during the season, 24,390; club

John Watson's Annual. 
Your Uncle John Watson is at this writing chasing his pigeons 
around the feed lot in order to get them in good hard condition. 
The regular annual tanglefoot will be given as usual, as soon as the 
weather gets good and cold, the dates being set for Dec 11-14 
The programme will be right, and the pace v-ill h° warm.' Th.'s 
is the clearing house shoot for the year in the West, and any- 
body who thinks he has anything coming to liim in the pigcun 
game will do very well to pack his gun and a little cash and 
head for this village two weeks before Christmas. It is a game 
for the shooters, and the past reputation of the event is enough to 
warrant for the success of the shoot this year. 
Wants It. 
E. H. Tripp seems to want the Grand Hotel cup of Indiana as 
would appear from his annexing it for a second season at 'the 
.sjioot of the Limited Gun Club, at Indianapolis, this week. Fred 
Gilbert missing but 2 targets in a day, seems to be getting back 
.some of his u. g. f., and will probably be pestering Jimmie Elliott 
plenty before long.
