Annie Oakley, Challenges and Championship* 
l-'dtior J-'oresl and Stream: 
During Annie Oakley's shooting career 1 think' she has received 
more so-called challenges than any one in the same line, with the 
possible exception of Dr. Carver. Now, as it may interest .some 
<■[ your readers, 1 send a few samples of tliese challenges, and 1 
will leave it to the sportsmen of America if she is right in her 
determination not to use that much-abused word. Hut rigltt here 
let me say that not one of these challenges was accomjMnied by 
a dollar to back it up; but as they went the rounds of the press 
I suppose they served the purpose foi' which they were intended. 
Although I have not mv scrap l)ooks at hand. 1 well remember 
the first challenge. It was during her first engagement at the Olympic 
Theater in Chicago, a woman who killed her husband, a Mrs. 
Tesse James, challenged Annie for all kinds of shooting. I had 
much to learn in those days, but as I had just $100 in the world 
1- deposited $50 with a sportsman's journal; then 1 was fool enough 
to make a flying trip to Milwaukee, where 1 found her posmg in 
a dime museum. On making myself known and asking if she 
was Mrs. Je.sse James, I was staggered with the reply, "\Vho 
the do you think I am?" I returned to Chicago with less 
money, but a little more sense, and as I had not learned to kick 
myself when 1 made a mistake, 1 butted the knobs of the wash 
stand instead, . 
1 need not say that the pai-ty was an nnpostor and in no way 
related to tlie real Mrs. Jesse James, who t have since learned 
is a lady in every sense of the word. 
Along about 1S79 or 1880, before Annie Oakley commenced shoot- 
ing, two women were touring the country, giving exhibitions of • 
riile' shooting, dm-ing which they shot apples otf each other's head. 
One night, while doing this trick, one killed the other. As it was 
known that they had quarreled that same day some claimed it 
■ was done purposely, but the one responsible proved that she was 
intoxicated, and not accountable for the accident. Two weeks later 
she was billed as the "Woman Killer." She has been appearing 
under different names since then, and has more tlian once chal- 
lenged Annie Oakley. 
During one of my visits to London there was a woman shooting 
in one of the music halls under the name of Winona. She never 
missed ringinjg the bell, and was making quite a reputation, and 
us a matter ol course, issued the usual challenge. A few days later 
she called on Annie Oakley in her dressing tent. During her 
visit I took pains to show her some American rifles, in which she 
seemed to take little if any interest. I think she must have had a 
brandy and soda more than was good for her, for she grew quite 
Gonfrdential, and more than surprised me by saying, •"Pon my 
word, Miss Oakley, I don't know a thing about rifles. My car- 
tridges are all blank, and my husband rings the bell by pulling a 
"string." Now, this may seem strange, but 1 have seen many of 
the shooting acts on the English stage worked on the same prin- 
<:iple, and not only the audience but the managers as well swal- 
lowed bait, hook and all. I. saw the same thing worked ni a New 
York theater last winter, but more than one in the audience 
caught on to the game. , ., . . , , 
During my last visit to London, an exhibition shot made a 
proposition "which was certainly original. He was a self-styled 
captain, and always proved he was using single bullets by showing 
his wife's hands, which were minus some fingers. One day he 
called on me at the hotel, and this was the plan outlined by which 
we could make some money. As well as 1 can remember, it was 
like this: "See here, old boy, you are in this business for the 
money. So am I. Your wife has a great reputation, and my 
missus can shoot a bit. Now, I was talking to the manager of a. 
music hall, and I told him my idea. He blooming well fell m a 
fit, and I know we can make a tidy bit out of it. Now here it is: 
Let your wife shoot one hundred shots against mine. Each to take 
a drink of ale or beer at the end of each ten shots; that will be 
something new and pack the blooming shop." 1 told him that 
Annie Oakley would stand no chance in such a contest; and to 
I his day he is telling it in the third-class barrooms how his 
missus challenged Annie Oakley. 
One woman who often challenged Annie Oakley has three living 
husbands, or said to be such, and 1 have clippings from Western 
papers which, if half true, would keep any respectable man or 
woman from entering into any contest or controversy with her. 
Now, just a few more lines, and I am through, bavmg already 
taken up more of your space that I had intended domg. 
.^nnie Oakley is always glad to meet ladies, either at the trap 
or in the field, and should they make a better score than she, it 
will make no difference in her friendship toward them; in fact, 
some, of the best lady shots in the country to-day are counted 
among her dearest friends, and as she is the pion.eer in that line 
she is always proud when they score welL For what bettei- 
tiionument could she leave behind than lady shots and lady gun. 
t" ) ub s ? 
But let me say right here, and once for all, that no woman with 
a shady past or doubtful reputation can ever enter into a personal 
contest with Annie Oakley while I am managing her, as she values, 
her private reputation far more than her shooting one, and as for 
the word champion she will never use it. ... 
Once more 1 ask in her behalf that her friends will omit it iii 
connection with her name. Frank E. Butlex. 
Echoes of the Anglo-American Match. 
New Y''ork, July 20.— Editor Forest and Stream: Since my return 
10 America from the trip of the American team to London and 
(ilasgow. 1 have been asked so many questions about different 
jnatters connected with and met with on that trip that it seems as 
"if it would not be taking up your space uselessly should you de- 
cide to print what follows: , ^ , i. ^ <-<4., 
in the first place, many people have wanted to know what the 
Welsh liarp" is; its distance from London, etc. "The Welsh 
Harp" is the name of an inn, or road house, as it would probably 
ht called here, about eight miles from the center of London, taking 
llie street called Strand as a possible center. The grounds- used 
by the Middlesex Gun Club, where the international races were 
shot are "just across the road" from the Welsh Harp— that is to- 
s;iy, 'a highway and a line of the Midland Railway separate the tw& 
grounds. , . 
At the Welsh Harp a set of traps is arranged and maintained 
Solely for live-bird shooting, the equipment being up to date. East 
birds are trapped, and with a summer boundary of t^Oyds.— 50yds.. 
in the winter— high scores are seldonr made. Betting on individual 
shots cuts quite a prominent figure at all shoots held af the 
Welsh Harp grounds; and the same may be .said of all shooting 
•TOiinds in England and on the continent of Europe, in fact, it 
would often appear to an outsider as if pigeon shooting on all such 
grounds was merely an incident, the laying and taking of odds, 
fjeing the main feature, with the value of the sweepstake as a sort 
of side issue. Any shooter troubled with nerves would find it a. 
Iiaid matter to get schooled so that the noise made by those who 
endeavor to get a bet on his shot didn't bother him. There are a 
few men on this side whom 1 have known to object to any loud 
talking while they were at the score. It would be amusing to see 
iiow such requests for silence as 1 have heard made here would 
be received on the other .side of the Atlantic. I'm afraid there 
would be but little diminution in the offers to take and lay odds. 
All bets on individual shots are made "on the nod —that is, no 
money changes hands until after the referee's decision on the shot 
has been rendered. For instance: At the Welsh Harp on the 
Monday after the International series of target races, June 17, 
there was a grand gathering of pigeon shooters and spectators, the 
main feature on the programme being a contest for a very hand- 
s'-me trophy, purporting to be the international live-bird trophy, 
a competition which I have already described and in which first 
honors and the cup were carried ott by Billy Crosby after a 
shoot-off with Parmelee, Heikes, Powers and Elliott, Parmelee 
losing his 17th bird dead out of bounds. Betting on each shot 
was very active, particularly at the start, when the Englsh betting 
men were quite willing to take what seemed to our boys absurdly 
luw odds One Englishman, a prominent live-bird shot himself, 
expressed himself loudly as willing to take "four to one" on the 
una- in other words, more easily understood here perhaps, he was 
willing to wager one to four on the bird. The Americans, rooters 
and shooters promptly accommodated him with a bunch of bets 
(the man at 'the score being one of our team), the total value of 
which was. worth while considering. Yet not a cent was put up! 
The shot being successful, the taker of the odds satisfied all his 
liabilities, and went to work on the same lines as before on^^thc 
very next shot. It was simply a case. 111 take, etc., and III 
lay it you in." As Frank Parmelee put it, that was one place 
where "mouth bets went." . . , , . . . 
A matter of interest in connection with this competitron were 
the conditions of the contest. There were: 12 birds per man, 
entrance fee (in American equivalent) $10, re-entries to the number 
of four each being allowed up to the end of the fourth round, $500 
guaranteed, with handsome cup to the winner. As there were 
ninety-eight entries and re-entries all told, the management netted 
u nice thing out of the shoot, nothing but the cup arid the W 
tfuaranteed going to the shooters. The Americans took the $500, 
but ther* wae not much margin left after all expenses had been 
paid. ' 
Again, I have often been asked why it was that the scores made 
by our team in ific inlernatioual scries hi London were so low 
ciuuparatively siieakiug. My answer has always been that some 
ot the .scores, though apparently low on paper, were really as good 
;is iiuniy of the 98 and 97 per cents, often recorded over here. 
It must first of all be remembered that the members of the team 
had only had two half-days in which to practice on t^irgets thrown 
very hard against a decidedly poor background. Shooters stood 
at the score on ground slightly higher than the traps, thus shoot- 
ing down hill. The field in front of the traps sloped off rapidlv 
down to n hedge antl ditch, and then rose again quite as rapidlv. 
making it extremely hard to gauge the speed of a target. Tlie 
traps were screwed up to throw a target fully HO to 65yds.; at 
least such was the impression of all our men. To the right was 
the GOft. tower from which targets are thrown overhead to repre- 
sent "driven pheasants," etc. The timbers of this tower were well 
peppered with shot, targets frequently crossing in front of it, and 
passing away beyond it also. The "liigh right-quarterers" from 
Nos. 4 and 5 traps w-erc generally to be classed in the hoodoo 
category, as, in addition to crossing the' tower, they were against 
a long viaduct constructed on several brick arches, which added 
to the difficulty of properly locating the targets. ' 
4is regards the heights at which the targets were thrown, thev 
were thrown fully up to the limit of "12ft. 10yds, from the traps," 
the agreement being that they were to be thrown "not less'than 
6 nor more than 12ft. high lOyds. from the trap." They were thus 
a lot of very high targets; as the boys said, "You've got to bury 
the straightaways to make sure of them." 
Every shooter knows the value of shooting in a squad with a 
uniform gait. Nothing is so liable to break up a squad a.s to 
(lave an extremely quick or an extremely slow shot in its ranks. 
The quick shot is far preferable to the slower one. Had our 
boys been shooting in squads by themselves scores would almost 
certainly have been correspondingly higher. As it was, they were 
sandwiched in— first an Englishman, then an American, and so on. 
It was a little disconcerting, too, perhaps to have a man alongside 
of you blowing off both barrels now and then. 
Anyway, whatever the scores were, when all conditions are 
taken into consideration, the totals of the American, team made at 
the grounds of the Middlesex Gun Club during the international 
series would take a lot of beating. Given another week's practice, 
there would of course have been an improvement; but as it was, 
the scores were really very good indeed, and j-eflect great credit 
on those rnembers of the team who made up the honored "ten" 
on each of the three days. 
Up in Scotland conditions were difl^erciit. It was a case of 
"known traps and angles" in the match with the Scotchmen at 
Glasgow. VV'hile there was no sky background, the lack of it was 
more than made up for by the fact that both trap and angle were 
known to the shooter when he called. "Pull." The traps were 
placed in a pit, or rather, trench, at the foot of a hill which rose 
rapidly in front of the traps. Thus it was really impossible to 
throw a target very far as a straightaway, for it plunged into the 
hill as it were. Left-quarterers could not be thrown at an acute 
angle on account of some workmen who were excavating foimda- 
tions for a new hospital on the brow of the hill to the left. The 
only acute angle target was the right-quarterer from No. 1, which 
skated along low and fast to the right, and was probably the most 
missed target of any of them. 
Another reason for the higher scores in Glasgow was probably 
the better condition of the team, which had had plenty of lime 
to get rid of its sea legs, and accustomed to late hours for eating 
and the English cooking. As a matter of fact, the whole team 
was feeling fit and well when it took into camp our Scotch friends; 
969 breaks out of 1,000 sh'ot at spealvs for itself. 
I don't believe T have ever mentioned that at tlie Glasgow 
shoot there was no pulling apparatus — each boy pulled his own 
trap. The shooter had thus to call, "Pull" in a loud voice so as 
to make himself plainly heard in the trapper's pit, 18yds. away. 
At first Fred Gilbert thought this would handicap him: "My 
bayish voice never will reach them; I'll get all kinds of balks."' 
The exact reverse was the result. F'red s high-pitched "Pull" 
penetrated the Scotch atmosphere like the whistle of a locomotive, 
and fhe boys pulled their traps at once. Edward Banks. 
Mississippi Valley Notes, 
Sportsmen generally will be pleased to learn that the tangle 
over the faulty section of the new Illinois game law with regard 
to the taking and killing of quail is at last so far defined as to 
enable the State wardens and deputies to take a firm stand in the 
protection of this favorite game bird. The saving clause lies in 
that section of the general law making quail, in common with all 
other native birds, the property of the State. This gives the officers 
the right to arrest for confiscation, and State Game Commissioner 
Lovejoy has issued an order to all wardens, backed by the ad-vice 
of Attorney-General Hamlyn, ordering the most rigorous enforce- 
ment of this section, as also that relating to trespass, between 
Dec. 20 and Nov. 1 of every year. This position will meet with 
the unanimous indorsement of sportsmen of the State, and thus 
it' is believed that quail will have practically the same protection 
as under the old law, which increased their numbers ten-fold in 
two years. 
State Game Commissioner Lovejoy, of Illinois, hatS established 
his headquarters at Roscoe, where all communications in relation 
to this subject should be sent. He is rapidly reorganizing his 
force of wardens and deputies, and expects within, a few weeks to 
have the State well policed with men whose business it will be to 
see that Bob White and his little brown mate are not molested in 
their merry summer home. 
Throughout this Western Valley, wherever two or more men 
meet who love the shotgun and its uses, the foremost theme of 
conversation and mental pride is the performance of our repre- 
sentatives who so gloriously vindicated American marksmanship, 
in the recent contests abroad. Nothing that has happened in the 
shooting world for years had or can have a broader influence in 
promoting interest in this splendid national .sport. 
"Old man" Dietrich, of Waveland, Ind., took all the hoys over 
the rough road at "Cad's" recent Danville shoot. Mr. Dietrich 
wears his sixty-five simvmers with all the grace of a man of 
thirty, and in tjie long races he made the only 25 straight, 
pocketing a $16 purse, -and copipleting a string of 30 odd straight 
kills. 
Charlie Wiggins, of Homer, is one of the newer lights in 
Illinois shooting circles, whom tlie bnys significantly designate as 
"a comer." 
The nearby cities 6£ Taylorville arid Morrisonville, 111., have 
been mixing it lately in a series (7f alternating challenge matches. 
To date honors are even, and each club has recently provided new 
traps and grounds, the better to prepare its members for future 
battles. 
Dave Elliott gave his u.sual semi-monthly shoot at Dupont Park, 
St. Louis, on the 14th inst. Attendsince was above the average, 
and the average at Dave's shoots is always good. 
And the next thing will be the fixing of dates for the annual 
Indian pow-wow and tourney. Recent developments should in- 
sure this being a record meet. 
Harold Money is getting quite well acclimated to the tone and 
■.spirit of the VVcstern .shooting game. He ha.-, been doing the 
South and Southwest lately, and so far as we can learn has given 
no one an opjiortunity to do him in the matter of good scores. 
The marked success of the receijt floating tournament, given by 
the Mt. Sterling (jun Club, on the Illinois River, is likely to 
result in other events of the same kind soon. The sportsmen of 
the lieardstown Gun Club are arrangiitg for an all-day "excursion 
shoot" in connection with a local merchants' carnival some time 
during August. . 
J. K. Cadwallader is authority for the stateiiielit thpt a three-day 
target and live bird shoot wfll be held in that city late in the fall'. 
Fred Schiess won the Class A and Henry Phinney the Class B 
medal at the July 12 shoot of the Piasa Gun Club, Alton. 
The Progre'ssive Gun Club, of East St. Louis, will hold its 
regular monthly tournament and medal contest on Jtine 4. 
In Frog-Killing Time, 
Come, write, said the Colonel, a sbng-of release 
From midsummer madnes.s — a metrical rhyme. 
That brings to the spirit a message of peace, 
A lilt of the pleasures of frog-kUling time. 
Away with dull routine of office and shops. 
Where avarice strives and ambition would cHnib ; 
We're off to the pond where that old monarch stop.s, 
The king of the season of frog-killing time. 
With rifle and gig as the barb of deceit, 
, We lure the sly imp from his home in the slime. 
And nothing that tickles the palate can beat 
The fruit of our labors of frog-killing time. , 
The croak of the cynic may float like a log, 
Low down in the current enveloped with grime. 
But nothing can tempt from their camp in the bog. 
Amphibious nimrods of frog-killing time.

The second of the series for the Damand & Gould Company 
cup, ten-man teams, from Leominster and Fitchburg, was pulled 
ofi- fhis afternoon, op the grounds of the Fitchburg Club. The 
weather conditions were perfect. 
Targets were thrown from magautrap, 60yds. — quite different 
shooting from targets at 40yds. 
The Leomin.sterites shot much below their average, for they are 
generally able to compete with the best; but they wilj prove 
themselves good losers when they become a little more ac- 
customed to it, for in former years everything came their w.iy. 
The Fitchburg men seemed to let up on the last half, probably 
because they saw they had the race sure. 
Cutler was an exception, for he is shooting for a record, and as 
usual shot better than 90 per cent. This makes two straight wins 
for Fitchburg. Three wins takes the cup.
