FOREST AND STREAM. 
[July s, igda. 
A Point of View. 
j.S^'**^^'"'^''^'' O. — ^Trapshooting, in its particulars as a sport, 
differs radically from those of every other recognized sport which 
has a national breadth and interest. The difference is in the utter 
absence of any distinction between the amateur and the profes- 
sional. The latter affects to consider that trapshooting is sport, 
and refers to it as such, though to him it is not sport at all; it is 
a business. To him it is sawing wood. 
From a small and comparatively humble start, professionalism 
has grown till it dominates every branch of trapshooting. There 
was a time when the salaried professionals had no higher purpose 
than to sell their goods, enter all the events at a tournament and 
skim off the cream from all the moneys in such cases as they 
could not take both cream and milk. 
At present all the manuiacturers are in frantic competition to 
make the best showing in the w-ay of winnings and averages with 
their products, so that at any open tournament an outsider may 
well be in doubt as to whether competition is run as a sport for 
th.ose who engage in it, or as a means merely to advertise goods. 
There is much to deplore in this destructive ascendency of pro- 
fessionalism. It eternally parades before the eyes of those who 
are fond of it as a sport that they, as amateurs, are profitable ap- 
pendages to the business interests of manufacturers who are seeking 
advertising matter. It is the old story of kiiimg the goose which 
laid the golden eggs. 
Further than that, the professionals, by constant practice week 
in and week out attain to such a high stage of skill that their 
performances are not only sufficient to frighten ordinary amateurs 
out of all competition with them, but sufhcient to discourage the 
amateurs from any attempts in any kind of a competition. The 
amateur reasons that, if he can miss three targets in ten, while the 
professional only misses three in 300, w^hat use is there in attempt- 
ing to shoot at all? 
It would be greatly to the advancement of trapshooting if the 
leading amateurs would immediately take steps to organize a 
national association. But they will not do so. 
Let the professional live, but let him live from his profession. 
Let him not live as a parasite on the amateur. He has an entire 
right to his profession. The amateur has an entire right to his 
sport. The latter buys his guns and ammunition. He pays 'cash 
for them. When he comes to use them in competition, he is 
competing oftentimes against the agents of the very manufacturers 
from %vhom he purchased them. In the end, his defeat serves to 
advertise something or other which served to beat him. If he 
wins, it serves as an adverti.sement of w^hat he had bought and 
paid for already. He is subordinated to what is used. As a con- 
testant, he holds a second place to the trade interests. 
One may read the tournament scores week after week to learn 
that who won is secondary to what won. And the trade generally 
wins. The same names are dished up in first place week after 
week. East, West, North and South, wherever there has been a 
crop worth picking. As a consequence, all kinds of new devices 
are necessarily invented and put in action to reassure the ama- 
teur that the professional is rendered harmless. Club managers, if 
they have not a sympathy due to substantial manufacturers' favors, 
are woefully lacking in moral courage in dealing with pro- 
fessionalism. Handicaps are announced which, when applied, do 
not handicap at all; moneys are divided in a mystical way, which, 
after all the tooting of horns concerning them, go to the men who 
can shoot the best, the professionals. 
Probably no amateur organization ever had as large a member- 
ship as the League of American Wheelmen had. It guarded its 
amateur interests most rigorously. At one time, it had far upward 
of 100,000 members. That time is only three or four years ago. In 
a commercial way — that is, a professional way— it afforded fat 
emolument to those who knew the professional arts. Professional- 
ism at length grew strong enough in the L. A, W. to make a 
fight for recognition and won. The L. A. W. to-day is hardly im- 
portant enough to call it a wreck of its former great self. The 
principle is the same. One man cannot fatten as a business meas- 
ure by monopolizing all that is of value in another man's sport, 
No doubt but what there is a great deal of trapshooting done in 
America even under the heavy burdens imposed on it by pro- 
fessionalism. No doubt but what there w'ould be many times more 
of trapshooting done but for the burdens of professionalism. 
When men stop shooting, we can gather together and wonder 
why they stopped. We can conjecture this, that and the other 
thing, except professionalism. When the game is dead, as it will 
be in time under present conditions, some Napoleon can then 
start a national amateur association out of what is left of trap- 
shooting. 
Let us, at least, for a while longer, show more" interest in the 
winner as a shooter than in what he won with. Let us make a 
pretense that the shooters are honestly engaged as men, each 
contesting against the others, not as agents who are using their 
opponents merely for advertising purposes. It is much pleasantcr 
to compete as a man than it is to compete merely as a means for 
some other man to accumulate advertising data. 
I write this from a conviction that the manufacturers, in their 
headlong eagerness to control^ both the sales of their goods and 
their use after being sold, will in time find thej'' have handled 
a two-edged cutter. Sucker. 
Central Michigfan Ttapshootets* Association. 
Albion, Mich., June 26. — Early this season an association was 
organized consisting of Battle Creek, Marshall, Albion, and Chai- 
lotte gun clubs, to be known as the Central Michigan Trapshooters' 
Association, the object being that of holding tournaments and 
friendly contests at the traps. The first meeting was held a month 
ago at Marshall; the second one at Albion, June 26. These gath- 
erings have proven very interesting and created a friendly and 
healthy rivalry, especially so seeing that there is a five-man team 
shoot as part of the programme. 
The Albion club is a large one, having good officers, and to be 
up to the times, have set up a magautrap on the fair grounds, 
Everj'thing is lovely save the background, and this not the best. 
Targets are thrown against a hill, and there are many trees, just 
now covered with a very dark green foliage. Hence, there are 
m&ny low scores, as shown by the tabulation herewith. 
Considering that the shoot was intended to be a local affair, 
there was a large attendance. The Jackson delegation was com- 
posed of R. W. Smith, Mr. Ferris and Mr. Crosier; Marshall sent 
down a fine body of good shooters, viz., C. C, Smith, H. M. 
Holmes, S. Swarthout, E. De Reamers, L. H. Crampton, C. 
Brugel, M. F. Roberts, H. Faulkner, John Farnsworth, F. G, 
Seaman. Homer was quite at home when C. A. Rafter, John 
Linton and Wm. Brunson got to smashing targets. Part of the 
Battle Creek club were late getting in, but they had a good team 
in Fred Hovv'se, S. J. Carpenter, G, C. Willard, Max Hensler and 
Al, Hensler. The home club was well represented by E. C. Gale, 
W. T. Cattermole, O. H. Stecker, W. A. Sweeney, L. J. Deering, 
C, H. Bliss,. C. H. Ackley, Homer Brasie, W. S. Daskam, C. D. 
Baum, A. F. Andrews, Elmer Jacobs and G. W. McGuire. Char- 
lotte sent Sam Robinson, Tom Waddell, Henry Robinson and 
Fred Hartel, and as but two of them were shooting their team 
did not compete.. 
The prizes were mostly merchandise, donated by the Albion 
business men and women. Price of entrance, targets only. Ties 
were not shot off, but were decided by chance. 
Trophy team shoot, five men to the team, 20 targets to the 
man. As may be expected, the team contest was the most ex- 
citing event of the day. It is very seldom that teams are so 
•evenly matched, as there was but one bird difference in the total 
of each team, and that was in favor of the Marshall team, which 
won on the former contest also. The scores: 
Albion Gun Club — Bawn 18, Gale 13, Bronson 18, Sweeney 17, 
C. K. Bliss 14; total 80. . , 
Marshall Gun Club — Crampton 17, Faulkner 15, Swarthout 16, 
Wade 17, C. Smith 16; total 81. 
Battle Creek Team— Carpenter 16, Willard 15, Howes 17, Hensler 
17, A. R. Hensler 15; total 80. 
Hensler trophy, open to League members, 25 targets : S. Howse 
22, Carpenter 18,- Gale 15, A. R, Hensler 19. Swarthout 19, A. H. 
Gale 18. Holmes 15, Robinson 17, Sweeney 17, Crampton 19, 
Bronson 20, Roberts 19, Kartell 20, Willard 16. 
There was little time for any sweepstake shooting, and yet the 
popping of nitro powder was kept up until sundown. Max Hensler, 
of Battle Creek shot a steady gaif:, losing but 10 out o£ 120 shot 
at in the regular events. The scores;

Interstate Tournament at Raleigh. 
Raleigit, N. C, June 27.— The Interstate Association's trap- 
sliootmg tournament, given under the auspice.'^ of the Raleigh Gun 
Club, June 25 and 26, was not as largely attended as had been 
expected by the local club, but tho-se who were there witnessed 
some good shooting. 
Among tlie better known shots present may be mentioned the 
following: Mr. H. P. Collins and Capt. Ben Eick, representing 
the Dupont Powder Company: Mr. Walter Huff, representing the 
Hazard Powder Company; Mr. Charles Nichols, representing the 
Winchester Repeating Arms Company; Mr. T. E. Avery, repre- 
senting the Union Metallic Cartridge Company;" Mr. A. W. du Bray 
representing Parker Brothers; Messrs. L. D. Thomas and J. S.' 
Fanning representing the Laflin & Rand Powder Company; 
Messrs. H. B. Lemcke and Neaf Apgar. representing the Peters 
Cartridge Company; Messrs. P. J. Gallagher and J. W. S. Butt, 
of the Portsmouth, Va., Gun Club, and Messrs. Johnson, Gowan, 
Walters, Stark, Dixon, Ellington and others, of the local club. 
High average for both days was won by Capt. Ben Eick, Neaf 
.Vpgar second and Walter Huff third. 
After the regular programme had been finished the second day, 
the Raleigh Gun Club donated a purse of $50. open to all. handi- 
cap by distance, to be contested for without entrance fee, the 
Raleigh Gun Club members not competing for the money. This 
liberality upon the pa»t of the club was appreciated by alL who 
were present. ' 
A pleasant incident in connection with the tournament was the 
presenting of a pair of cuff buttons to Manager Shaner, of the 
Interstate Association. The gift was from the Raleigh Gun Club, 
and President Johnson, in making the presentation speech, stated 
that it was a faint expression of the club's appreciation of Man- 
ager Shaner's kindly efforts to render the occasion pleasant and 
agreeable to all. Manager Shaner responded in a few well chosen 
words. 
The Raleigh Gun Club was organized three years ago, and has 
a membership of about fifty. The club has been in active life 
ever since it was organized, and the interest in it has steadily 
grown. Mr. James I. Johnson is President: Mr. Jos. F. Ferrall 
Vice-President, and Mr. R, T. Gowan, Secretary and Treasurer! 
The club has splendidly equipped shooting grounds on the car 
line, less than ten minutes' ride from the capitol square, where it 
holds a weekly shoot each Thursday afternoon. Just southwest of 
the traps stands a clump of trees, aft'ording ample shade on hot 
summer afternoons. The traps face northeast, looking away over a 
gentle slope, forming an ideal shooting place. Blackbird targets 
and expert traps, arranged according to the Sergeant system, were 
used^ and gave the very best of satisfaction. The scores of both 
flays follow: .

L. and Trapshooters' Leagfue* 
The largest tournament that has been held in the Southern coun- 
try has just come to a close at Shreveport, La. The tournament 
was given by the Louisiana and Mississippi Trapshooters' League, 
under the auspices of the Caddo Gun Ciub, of Shreveport. To 
say that the shoot was a success, goes without saying, as the scores 
below will show for themselves. 
Mr. Ward Erwin, of the Greenville Club, was the lion of the day, 
winning first average over all the experts, making a score of 378 
put of 400 birds shot at. Taking into consideration that the shoot- 
mg was done over four expert traps, each set being in a different 
location, making the targets pretty hard. I think that the score is 
phenomenal; and also, taking into consideration that Mr, Erwin 
weighs only 108 pounds. He also won the individual trophy 
donated by Baker & McDowell, and led his team, which won the 
lovmg cup donated by the Peters Cartridge Company. The team 
winning the cup was composed of Erwin, Blake and Foote: they 
scored 71 out of 75 birds. This team— and in fact the Greenville 
Club— IS being very ably coached by that veteran trap shot. Major 
l^oote, and a great deal of their success in their team work is due 
to his wide experience. 
Mr. Wilcox, of Texas, shot second; Mr. Fletcher, of Birmingham, 
third. ' 
Aniong the experts, Mr. Wade, of Texas, representing the Peters 
Cartridge Company won the high expert average; Mr, Spencer, of 
bt. Louis, also of the Peters Cartridge Company, shot second, and 
^^I-, J^aurote, of the Winchester Arms Company, shooting third. 
I he trade was represented by Messrs. Wade, Spencer and Kau£- 
mann, for the Peters Cartridge Company; Messrs. Faurote, Hill- 
man and Hildreth, for the Winchester Arms Company; Messrs. 
Skelly, Williams and Fanning, for the Laflin & Rand Powder Com- 
pany, and the only Bert Taylor, for the Hazard and Dupont powder 
companies. 
One of the most pleasing features of the shoot was the presenta- 
tion of diamond lockets to Maurice . Kaufmann, who managed the 
shoot, and to Mr. George Hillman, who so ably assisted the man- 
ager m taking complete charge of the office work. 
The next shoot of the League will be held in Greenville, Miss 
July 17 and 18, where $600 will be added to the purse and two 
cents charged for targets. The League shoots are strictly amateur 
shoots, without any handicap; all amateur shooters will be welcome.

city was fairly well attended. 
The programme called for three 10 and eight 15 targets events 
each day. The shooting was from three traps. Sergeant system, 
largets were thrown about 50 yards. 
The weather on Thursday and Friday was pleasant, but on Sat- 
urday morning it commenced raining and most of the shooters 
went home. Owing to the small attendance, Mr. Kessler de- 
cided not to finish the programme.

merely a suggestion on our part, and if you care to publish it, we 
would be glad to have you do so. Below are the names of the 
people who have signed the agreement to close: M. Hartley Com- 
pany, Winchester Repeating Arms Company, A. G. Spalding & 
Brothers, Schoverling, Daly & Gales. H. D. Folsom Arms Com- 
pany, Bridgeport Gun Implement Company. Remington Anps Com- 
pany, Von Lengerke & Detmold, C. J. Godfrey, Union Metallic
