Chicago Live Birds. 
CMicAGOv 111,, Nov. 24.— We are having pretty good live-bird 
Weather these days in this neighborhood, and there is every likeli- 
hood that 'ihani^bgivmg: Day wiU be co.d enough to give proper 
•zest to John Watson's Thanksgiving Day shoot. The programme 
will be the same as that oftered for to-day— 6 birds, $2, hail m the 
JDOt, 30yds,. Ciass. shooting: 15 birds, entrance $5, hait in the pot, 
handicaps 28 to 31yds., class shooting. 
. Nor should the shooters forget the regular John Watson winter 
ioumament, added money handicap, Dec. 11-14. The big event 
x>f that week of shooting is slated for Friday, Dec, 14, 24 live 
birds, 115, handicap. This will be the best sweep we have had in 
this region for several moons. 
Gelling Better, 
Tom Marshiall, lately reported as recovering from the injury to 
his arm, is by no means a well man yet. He has been here in 
Chicago for some days, and will be here for quite a while yet. 
He hurt Ins arm last fall in a stumbling fall, which landed him 
with his whole weight on his hand, the arm being forced out and 
up m tlie direction of the head, He came to .. Chicago and had 
an X-ray examination made, and found that instead of the tendons 
teanng loose, a piece ol the bone to which the tendons are at- 
tached in the joint had broken of? and allowed the arm to 
Stretch up. He lost the use of his arm, which is the left arm, 
almost altogether, but a long course of Swedish moveinents here 
has slowly restored motion to the arm, so that he can now raise 
it as high as his head. It is going to be a long and slow re- 
covery, but the prospects seem that by storing he will be about as 
good as new in that arm. Mr. Marshall is cheerful over it, but I 
think the accident rather depressed his spirits for a time. It 
would be rather a bad blow tor him if he were cut off from his 
favorite sport Of the shotgun. All the shooters of the country will 
be glad to hear that there is no likelihood of any such bad result. 
The Amcricaa— English Team Race. 
It was, by the way, Mr. Marshall who gave me some interesting 
details icoarciaig mts propuoca mai.,n oeiwecn Amtiican auQ 
English teams, auout wincU there has been so much talke lateiy. 
M.r. Marbi.au says that the project was hrst taken up senou=iy 
at the Indian \v oif shoot last summer. A: tliai time a siate was 
made up lur a team and a rough drait was sketched oi a programme 
m Laic anything mure aelmiie came up later aoout tne trip. 
i^Jeittier at iiiat time nor at any later time has any aDsoiute cer- 
tainty existed regarding the match. Mr, Marsha.i says that his 
name was suggtbied Oy some oi his iriends as captain ot tlie 
team, and he vvouid be willing to serve il the boys wished him 
to, which certainly the boys wou.d not oniy wish, but insist 
upon, as Mr. Marshall is the very man for this position. He also 
said that he had little doubt that the money lor the trip cou.d be 
raised, since some of the men wouid be aoie to pay their own ex- 
penses, and others wouid no doubt be backed by their firms in 
such an enierprise. Mr. Faul jNorth. of the Lieve.and Target Co., 
has long been enthusiastic about this team match, and he has 
furnished most ot the intormation regarding the attitude of the 
shooters on the other side. Mr. North thinks that the match can 
be arranged, though 1 do not understand that anything definite has 
as yet been concluded as to the personnel and backing of the team 
Oft the other side. Mr. Marshall therelore says that, while he leeis 
confadent that the American team can be gotten together easily 
■and can easily get the money for the trip, there is nothing to 
warrant the assertion that the match has been arranged. He says 
lhal much remains to be done, and asks that the sporting papers 
Itindiy give this matter proper prominence and refer it to the icad- 
rag sp,.rting papers of England, or to leading sportsmen of that 
country, so that tne matter may be discussed understandingiy 
upon the other side. It is to be hoped that the editor ot the 
London Field and others of the great journals of that country, not 
forgetting Mr. K. B. Marston, ol the Fishing Gazette, tlioug'h the 
latter is an angitr and not concerned so much in shooting, niav 
take up this matter and give it the proper consideration at tha't 
■end of the line. 
There arc some things which should be remembered in talking 
over this international match. American shooters should remem- 
ber tliat the trap situa,tion is not the same in Eng;and as it is 
liere. There is no professional or semi-professional trap circuit 
3h that country. The very best shooters in that country are ama- 
teurs pure and simple, though they will .shoot for any kind of 
money, and will go against almost any kind of a game of a fair 
sporting nature and of an amateur sort. They will not, however, 
shoot for a gate, nor shoot with professionals in every instance. 
The term professional in that country probably has a different 
significance from what it has here. Our English brothers shou.d 
remember that while some of the men mentioned in the American 
team^ shoot for money, and make a living out of the business, they 
forfeit no social standing through that in this country, and are 
admitted to our best clubs in contests with the pure amateurs. 
^\■ith a little elTort on the part of each party to the match there 
.should be no difficulty in both parties arriving at the understanding 
that the teams on both sides are made up of gentlemen sportsmen 
and of representative men. 
There has been sOtne talk of a gate, out of which the visiting 
team should receive a certain amount of expense motley in case 
the visitors were defeated. It would seem that this idea of gate 
money ought to be dropped at' the out.set. It has been tried in 
this country; by some of our match shooters, but it has never left 
a good fce'ing, and has in many cases been the cause of a great 
.deal of unpleasant ta'k. There is not a man in the American team 
who ever ought to take any hand in a. gate-nionev match. Whi'e 
I speak in ignorance of the situation in England, I believe that 
a gate-money team in that country wou'd not be a representative 
team, and that such a match wou'd not be an international match 
in any sense of the word. We would be sending some of our 
best shots and best sportsmen to England, and if possib'e we want 
to be met by ju-5t that sort of opp^'nents on the other side. There 
is also some talk of making this match for targets only. As the 
Americans ha\ e .ndmittedly the best experience in this' line, and 
wou'd be favorites in the target match, even though the English- 
men were given the use of two barrels, it would seem to be the 
part of good sportsmanship for the .-Kmericans to agree at once 
to a live-bird race, al.so, if . the. ^atter be proposed bv the Eno-'ish 
shoters. In this race our cousins across the water might perhaps 
surprise some of our best shots on the fast little English blue- 
rocks. We shou'd not need to ask any odds of them, even at this 
game, but it would seem to be a nearer thing than the target 
proposition, ,and il would take off much of the feeling that perhaps 
the Eng'i.'-Ii shooters were going against a crosvd of specialists in 
a target race. 
The trip, in Mr. Marshall's estimation, ought to take about two 
months, and should be made in June and JuH- of next summer. 
He thinks there would probably be a great many side matches, 
and believes that American monev wou'd not be wanting for 
almost anv^ kind of a shoteun contest with almost any sort of a 
man that Europe can' produce. 
There is some talk, as Mr. .Marshall hints, of this thins beih^ 
carried through by a private enterprise, in case any of the men 
.above mentioned for the teani did not find themse'ves in a position 
t-i make the trip for financial reasons. This sutrgestion may come 
up for later comment.. These men h.ive in a manner set their 
her.rts upon thi.« i"«tch. and 1 am satisfif^d that all the shooters 
of America wou'd like to see this trip made. This aftords Erround 
.for the hope Ih.at it will evenma ly be made. Our English 
cousins nuiv feel bv warrant of this private and unofficial state- 
ment of the man who is practiCallv .--ure to be in charge of the 
Ameri-an tea"i fh^t theV are unofficially, but confidently, chal- 
lenged to n^^ke this ii'fuch at lari;ets. Perhaiis the American.^ 
wou'd cai'v'der pUo a li>-c-b'rd rfiqe, though this did not come 
wi«h >''r, Marsba'l's statement at the" time. 
Ensr'isl'"'e»i are ivti-'riiusly coi-d .'iport.-nicn. and evetvbodv 
hopes and believes that thev wi'l be heard from in regard to this 
matter. It i.-^ too bad that Noel Money is not back in Eng'and 
rrom South Africa. What- our f'-Jepd.s acroes? the water wilTmost 
nS-ed is a wo^d ta'k wuh some Enu-lich fent'eman who has been 
long in thi.s coun'rv, who i-s aeouainted with the shooting situation 
here, and who can exp'ain inte"iffenllv the set"iing d'screoancies 
between the trap situations in i\merira and in Entrland. Thern i.s 
no SI"'' ^■■'^•■^r,->nrv spr-"i'-; eiionfh to act as a bar to the hriiio--

This has been the bti^t vesir the ckih has ever had for target 
shooting. There is a nice balanfce o« the right side of the ledger 
this year, so we expect to increase the attendance next year by 
giving moilihly prizes instead of a yeariy prize, as by comparison 
with jast year you will see mat all the memoers snot much better 
this .year. I^ ext >-ear we will be ao.e to. shoot any c.uu one to 
fifteen men, and give them a warm race: 
A numiier ot oxtr members are away quail shooting. Dr. Morton 
and Dr. Arnoid leave to-night tor Arkansas. \V. L-. King, one of 
our new members, will go next week. Dr. Miller and Dr. Carson 
leave Thursday evening tor another try at them and expert to land 
three or tour, Chas. Antome and V^. L. Cunnyiighani just got 
back from Indiana. They lelt a tew birds in the State, but Chas-. 
Hess and wife will try and get the ba.ance, so at the first live- 
bird shoot we will have to listen to some big one.s.

Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club. 
.San Francisco, Nov. 18.— Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club had 
bad weather conditions, but hot competition, for the yearly mcdaU 
and prizes on the all comers' matches. Hoadlev tied I)aiss for 
"onofs on the pistol, and Becker led on the'. 22 rifle contest. 
Both are comparatively new members. Pape led on the military 
f" inl^ wiLliin 5 points of Young, who leads with 47, average 
lor 10 best scores, Creedmoor count. Daiss led with revolver, and 
V oung with fine rifle. Hoad ev was third on the all comers' 
pistol in the morning, and gained 45 points by his fine shoot- 
ing, which placed him 4 points ahead of Becker, and Dr. Twist 
also gained .33 point;;, which put him 9 points behind Hoad.ey. 
I'.ecker got even by tieing the Doctor with the .22 rifle. The 
competition is most intense, and the best of feeling exists between 
all, which adds to the sport. It was the best day of the year as to 
the number of entries, and the next two final shoots will be 
more interesting, as they settle final ownership of medals and 
prizes. The Columbia buttons were won during last six months 
as follows: Rifle, A. B. Dorrell, C. M. Daiss and Dr. J. F. 
Twist. Pistol, F, O. Young, Paul Becker and N. A. Robinson^ 
who will wear them permanently hereafter. Daiss has put up S 
more for those who did not win. These are similar to those 
sent Humphrey and Dr. Baker as souvenirs of their phenomenal 
shooting on Columbia target. They are given for most firsts, and 
won each month; member winning most times in six months wins 
finally. 
Scores to-day, Columbia target; all comers' re-entry matches:
