Michigan State Leagrwe Toafnament* 
Such a continual rainfall as that of the past two months cannot 
be recalled by the oldest inhabitant. On Monday a drizzling rain 
fell continually, and when the morning sun shone out bright on 
Tuesday morning those interested in the Michigan btate J^eague 
tournament July 1 and 2, began to imagine they had been ushered 
into some foreign climate where the air is purified by the glowing 
sunshine. No wonder then that a large and most enthusiastic 
gathering of the Michigan trapshooters were early on the grounds 
at Michigan Center, the splendid grounds used by the Jackson 
club, and presided over by Charles Sarvis, who shows by his 
arrangements of the grounds to be the right man in the proper 
position. , . 
We found a magautrap and a Sergeant system facing to the north- 
east, with a good background, sun shining bright with a slight 
north wind that elevated the targets slightly. Taking the layout as 
a whole, everything was favorable for good scores. 
Jackson has an actual membership of less than ten men, but they 
are workers. There was Smith in the office, Linabury doing the 
squad hustling, while here and there, and all about the grounds 
might at all times be seen Wolcott, Crosier, Dr. White, Dr. De 
May Dr. Taft and Mr. Thompson, most of them shooting in the 
events and making good scores. Thus it is not surprising that 
everything passed off in clockwork order. 
Beside this array of home talent, there was present that old- 
timer and energetic tournament manager, the only Jack Parker, 
ready to assist whenever a little advice became necessary. 
A litle canvass revealed the fact that Detroit had a good delega- 
tion in Tack Parker, A. Toll, J. H, Cox, H. Guthard, Jacob Klein, 
A. J. Stanley, Owen Scotton, Mr. Wood' and Joe Marks. Ann 
Arbor turned out with W. W. Wadhams, A. Cullom, B. F. 
Schumacher and W. Carson. Flint had the good shots and medal 
winners, W. C. Somerville, Chas. Caleb, A. D. Caldwell and T. E. 
Houghton. Battle Creek was a little shy, but carried away 
honors with Max Hensler, A. R. Hensler and Sam Howes. 
Tecumseh had a good pair in C. R. Wilson and Mr. P. W. A. 
Fitzsimmons. The home crowd consisted of the wideawake boys 
as follows: W. W. Wolcott. II. B. Crosier. B. E. Linabury, M. 
W Thompson, C. W. Sarvis, T. B. Schumaker and the trio of 
doctors, C. J. White, J, H. De May and Taft. Some of the 
towns were represented by pairs, viz.. Marshall with W. B. Wade 
and L. H. Crampton; Grass Lake with E. A. Carpenter and B. 
Scott; Leslie with F. E. Savers and V. E. Covert; Kalamazoo, 
Grand Rapids and Saginaw were not represented, but^ some in- 
dividual representations hailed from points, viz., H. C. Young, 
Munith; W. W. McQueen, Bay City; Leonard Finletter. Adrain; 
C, E. Alban, WillisT Outsiders were few, and they were dis- 
posed to kick on their 20yd. handicap, viz., J. M. Hughes, 
Palmyra, Wis.; Kit Shephardson, La Grange, Ind. ; Mr. Lang, 
Findlay, O. Mr. G, C. Williamson, of Munfie, Ind., was a busy 
man distributing souvenir badges and making new acquaintances. 
The shooters were handicapped from 16 to 18yds. for State men 
and Messrs. Shep. Hughes and Lang at the 20yd. limit. Three 
cents was charged for targets, and one cent was reserved for a 
fund to be divided between League members shooting through the 
programme. 
The programme consisted of eleven events, with ?60 added money. 
Event No. 5 was a championship contest, three medals com- 
bined in one shoot being that of expert, semi-expert and amateur 
trophies. This was the center of attraction, there being three ties 
on 24 for the expert medal, viz.. Wood, Parker and Caleb. On 
the shoot-off Caleb won easily by breaking 23 straight. Fitzsim- 
mons won the semi-expert and Somerville the amateur medal. As 
the latter's win was the third he is now the permanent owner, and 
will pass into the semi-expert class. 
While Michigan Center is five miles from Jackson, there is 
everything there to make shooters happy — hotel, lake, boats, 
fishing, summer resort, with its merry-go-round, and other amuse- 
ments galore. The scores;

Second Day, Jaly 2. 
After a good night's rest at the Sarvis Hotel, the shooters were 
in no great hurry to get their guns unpacked, as the weather 
man had not duplicated his weather of yesterday, but instead, as 
if one clear day was too much for Michiganders, had endeavored 
to empty the clouds of their accumulation of the day previous 
as well as that of to-day's portion. The programme called for 
shoot ram or shine, but as there were no provisions for shelter 
overhead at the score, the shoot was postponed until about 11 
A. M., when it had cleared up sufficiently to begin the pro- 
gramme. But the heavy rain had kept m.ariy away, and the at- 
tendance was not nearly so large as on yesterday. All those pres- 
ent shot the entire programme, and they experienced winds, cloudy 
background and toward the close of the day very threatening 
clouds caused much uneasiness, yet fortunately the storm passed 
around, and the very lengthy programme was finished. 
Twenty-five men shot in most of the events, one of which was 
a team shoot of three men from a club, and that was the one 
shoot which attracted the closest attention and demonstrated that 
team shoots are what draws a crowd. There were six clubs that 
entered, three of them from Detroit, viz., Yaller Club Ideal and 
Live Bird Club. Jackson had two clubs and Flint one. The Ideal 
and the Yaller boys were very even, each getting 67, with J H 
Cox, the star performer with the only straight score. Flint' fell 
a little short, as one of their medal winners fell off from his 
championship form. The good looking Tackson team came out 
for their spiirt last, and they looked to be winners before a shot 
was fired. Some wagers were made, and the race was on The 
first SO targets saw but one goose egg, and that Mr. White's eighth 
Their next 30 ended with two gone through Wolcott's pattern' 
and the remaining 15 were all smashed save Thompson's twenty- 
fourth, a fast dropping target, closing with a grand total of 71— 
White 24, Thompson 24, Wolcott 23. 
There was a $1 sweep on the side, and Scott, shooting as did 
others for the money, made 24.

Scores made not so good &s yesterday, yet Thompson held up 
well and made an even 90 per cent., his nearest competitors being 
Wolcott and Harvey, from Detroit, though Houghton was but 
one behind. Stanley, Marks and Caleb were bunched. Max 
Hensler duplicated his score of yesterday by winning two firsts 
in succession and then fell away for the remainder of the day. 
He does not shoot enough to withstand the punishment of con- 
tinuous two days' shooting. The scores:

The programme provided for a rebate of one cent per target for 
the two days. The number shooting in all events proved to be 
fifteen, and each drew out $6.75 for his sticktoitiveness. 
The rules and by-laws of the Association were amended so 
that the rebate hereafter given will go only to those who compete 
as a team, and those who do not come as a club will be barred from 
this rebate.

BdHor Forest and Stream: 
We, the undersigned, having received programmes of the tour- 
nament of the so-called Michigan Trapshooters' League shoot, 
held at Jackson, Mich., on Julv 1 and 2, and after consulting said 
programme wherein it is specified that the sweepstakes were open 
to all, and the only mention of handicapping is that amateurs 
would be handicapped at from 16 to 18yds., and considering this 
a fair pronosition, we accepted the same and were present at said 
shoot. After paving our entries for the day's programme, we 
were informed that we were handicapped 20yds. We being the 
onlv scratch men, although professionals and semi-professionals, 
cornprising the flower of Michigan shooters, were placed at from 
16 to 18yds., no Michigan shooter being placed at a greater dis- 
tance. 
Trapshooters. as a rule, are a genial lot of gentlemen, who extend 
a warm and generous welcome to brother shooters, and although 
there were many here who openly protested against the injustice, 
yet the controlling element of this so-called Michigan Trapshooters' 
League did not care to meet us on equal terms, although we were 
paying 3 cents each for targets, one cent of each going into a pool 
to "be divided among all League shooters shooting the entire pro- 
gramme. This virtually being a tariff of .?2 per day imposed upon 
non-residents for the privilege of shooting.

Referee, Newman. ' 
Pottstown, Pa., July 1. — At a meeting of the Shuler Shooting 
Club, of this town, held at the Shuler Hotel, it was decided to 
move the shooting house from the present shooting grounds at 
Saratoga Park to the East End Base Ball grounds, which grounds 
were decided upon as the club's new shooting grounds. The club 
members desired the change made, owing to the new grounds 
being nearer to town. The opening shoot will be held about 
July 24, when a large attendance is expected, especially from out 
of town sportsmen. The shoot will be open to all, and a good 
time is guaranteed. Duster. 
Raleigh Gan Club. 
Raleigh, N. C, July S.— The weather was entirely too warm for 
our members to do justice to themselves. All the good shots 
fell down except Jos. I. Johnson, who held his own, beside 
tieing the heaviest m.an in our club. His record was 90 per cent. 
He has the best all-round record in our club, but several have 
made up their minds to get in his class ere the season is over. 
The following event was at 50 targets: Whitaker 26, Gowan 33, 
Grav 32, Johnson 45, Pearce 35. Eberhart 7&, Parker 36, Fellows 
29, Worth 21, FerreU 24,

Westchester Cotinty Trapshootefs* Leagfwe* 
Mt. Kiisco, N. Y., .July 5-— The Westchester County Trap 
Shooters' League held its two days' tournament at Mt. Kisco on 
the 4th and 5th, the gathering on the Fourth being a representa- 
tive one. The day was extremely sultry, but no rain fell to mar 
the day's sport. Among those from out of town were the follow- 
ing: T. H. Keller, Peters Cartridge Co.; J. T. Skelly and J- S. 
Planning, of the Laflin & Rand Powder Co. ; F. E. Butler, U. M. 
C. Co.; Edward Banks, Am. "E. C." & "Schultze" Gunpowder 
Co.; C. W. Dudley, L. H. "Mike" and Simon Glover, all of New 
York City; G. IT. Piercy and his son, L. H. Piercy, of Jersey 
City; C. G. Blandford, of Ossining, N. Y.. and many others. Of 
the home club, A. Betti, manager; President Frank Bailey and 
G. Sutton, all worked hard for the success of the shoot, Mr. Sut- 
ton looking after the cashier's office and Mr. Betti acting as squad 
hustler and general superintendent. Al. Rae's department (re- 
freshments, etc.) in the big tent to the left of the clubhouse, was 
patronized satisfactorily, Bert Vandeusen finding that chicken salad, 
ice cream and sarsaparilla made a combination apparently well 
suited to the average trapshooter's appetite on a warm Fourth of 
.July. There was a good attendance of spectators, an unusually 
iarge number of ladies gracing the clubbhouse with their presence,. 
The trap was run by an expert from Ossining, who managed 
to throw the targets far and fast enough to make a straight score 
more than u.sually pleasing. The strangest thing about his_ work 
was that the later it got in the day and the warmer it got in the 
traphouse the further he threw the targets. George Piercy was 
high average on the first day, shooting remarkably well and 
evenly; on the second day Jack Fanning went to the front, with 
the result that he and Piercy were tied at the end of the tourna- 
ment for high general average. Fanning, however, being in- 
eligible for the average money, the solatium for first average 
went to Mr. Pici-cy. On the second day the attendance was quite 
small, and the programme was run through quickly in order that 
the visting sportsmen might be able to reach nome before Sun- 
day morning. After their dep.arture several novices, residents of 
Mt. Kisco, tried to equal the scores made by the experts. A3 
Rac was easily high man, the four others in the squad only manag- 
ing to break four targets between them, the race being at ten 
targets per man, and each of the four accounting for one target. 
Their names are therefore suppressed out of regar.d for the feel- 
ings of their respective families. 
On the night of the Fourth there was a band concert in front 
of the Hotel Elwood, the music being discoursed by a large-sized 
orchestra under the direction of Mr. A. Betti, who proved that 
target shooting and music do not conflict. After the concert a 
fireworks display in front of the hotel attracted a lot of atten- 
tion, Mr. Skelly h.'mdling Roman candles with much skill, show- 
ing that his acquaintance with Laflin & Rand's explosive produc- 
tions enabled hitn to show off to the best advantage fireworks of 
every description. His cliforts were highly thotight of.

Birch Bfoofc Gun Clab. 
Lyt^n. Mass. — Owing to a tournament at Wellington run by 
O. R. Dickey, of the Boston Shooting Association, there were not 
as many at the traps on the 28th as usual. Riley was high man in 
the merchandise and medal events. There was a tricky wind most 
of the time, causing the left-quarterers from the magavitrap to duck 
and some of the others to rise, so the scores of some were not so 
good as usvial. Nos. 3 to 9 were practice events.
