[Nov. I, 1902. 
CfawfofdsviIIe Tournament. 
Crawfordsville, Ind., Oct. 22.— Another year has passed away, 
and the lovely Indian summer lingering "with us, caused the 
Crawfordsville trapshooters to announce a fall tournament. As 
this was the nineteenth annual, they desired to increase the popu- 
larity of their tournaments, so they went about it in what we term 
"blooded" style. A programme was printed, naming ten- 20- 
tsrget events, a total of 200 targets; and with no one barred, all to 
stand at 16yds., this served to draw the best shots, and those 
not stayers did not honor the club with their presence. 
The management of the shoot feel on those who have been 
cpnducting these tournaments for years. Few men enjoy a more 
•extended acquaintance among shooters than Ed Voris, while 
locally Frank Snyder and Max Stillwcll are about as ■well known. 
Then there are Lacy, Helm, Washburn and others. 
During the past year the greatest improvements ever made here 
have been undertaken, and now the club house is one of the best 
in the State. The grounds face north, and are fine and suitable 
for all kinds of shooting. These grounds wiJl be the center of 
attraction for many years to come, as concerns the shooters of this 
and the adjoining States. 
The day was fine, and many ladies were present to etijdy thenl- 
selv es as they w^atched the shooting while comfbrtablv seated on 
the veranda of the club house. 
The splendid dinner served by the Superintendent, Mr. Deitrich, 
was much enjoyed. 
If clubs only knew how much pleasure there is in a good com- 
modious club house there would be more of them erected and 
maintained. 
Those who came to shoot were Gus'Mollen, Indianapolis, Ind. ; 
Rolla Heikes, Dayton, O.; Geo. Roll, Blue Island. 111.: Milt. 
Cooper, Indianapolis; C. O. Le Compte. Eminence. Kv. ; H. M.

Roll Heikes was high score for the day, averaging one target 
better than nineteen for the ten events. Clark, of Wabash, was 
but two, and then next came Geo. Roll with 1S6. Partington did 
well, making the 90 per cent, hole, while Money, Wiggins and 
Thompson landed in the 179 place. The scores:

Oct. 23, Second Day. 
There have been many sparrow tournaments held during the past, 
confined for the most part to Indianapolis and Crawfordsville, Ind., 
yet if mj' memory serves me right, to-day's tournament may be 
put down as the most successful one yet conducted in this "neck 
o' woods." 
This is true in every sense. 
The birds were of the most lively "bumble be©" order. The 
grounds are really perfection. The trapping was simply "out of 
sight." The shooters were of the highest type of American gentle- 
men. The day was of the delightful Indian summer. The dear 
ladies were out without wraps, and Crawfords,ville ladies are not 
slow in appreciating and taking part in their husband's outings, 
and thus adding to their pleasure. 
After these twenty years' or more experience th'at the Indianapolis 
people have had with sparrows as .successful 'mediums for trap- 
shooting, how very strange it is that there is yet only one spar- 
rovj man where shooters are so numerous in this country, and 
where the dirty English sparrow has accumulated so fast and 
taken possession of the whole land? Johnny Bull, when at a 
banquet in America, once upon a time attempted to get off some- 
thing on the sparrow, and proceeded after this fashion; 
"The sparrow, to make a nest, went up the spoof. 
But the rain came down and drowned 'im cot; 
The sun came oot, dried hup the rain. 
The blooming beggar went hup the spoot again." 
Endeavoring, ] suppose, to show the persistence of our English 
cousins. 
Be that as it ms.y, there is nothing used for tfapshooting that 
gets away as quickly and beats the jacksnipe by far in his un- 
expected movements, and proves so amusing to shooters and 
spectators as the little beggar tops the boundary fence. If this 
only sparrow man, Hill, could make all the cities with a good 
supply of birds and traps it would not be long until th^re would 
be sparrow matches as niyn^-pus as the live-bird matches, have 
been heretofore. 
Yesterday the management were counting on about fifteen men 
for all the events of to-day, yet the very first match showed up a 
total of twenty-eight entries. Not only had most of the boys 
remained over, but there were additions of Adamson. of Muncie; 
Phellis, of Cincinnati, O., and Thompson, of Greencastle. Mr. 
Adamson_was so busy talking up Graphine that he did not shoot 
in many events, but one Phellis let 'em know that he was on to 
the little "owriness" of the festive sparrows, while Thompson did 
not get much up in the money, he stuck to the game from first to 
last. 
The first match consisted of 10 birds, and had twenty-eight 
entries, and when twenty-five men, or five squads, had shot, there 
was not a man equal to the task of killing 10 straight. As there 
are so few sparrow shoots it will not be amiss to show your readers 
that sparrows are trapped b5' the use of fifteen traps. Each shooter 
has three unknown traps before liim, and the shooter walks aromid 
after each shot, same as the old stjde of five traps, target shooting. 
Providing the trapping was done from pits, the sparrows could 
be shot as fast as targets, as there is no gathering of birds. A 
bird once touching the. ground in the boundary is a 'dead bird. 
Sparrow rules are somewhat different from live bird rules. The 
rise is 25 or 26yds., 35yds." boundary; use of both barrels; three 
unknown traps, etc. The last squad in this first event was not full, 
so E. H. Tripp and H. Money were permitted in this squad, and 
when they went out .with 10 straight each, they were delightfully 
surprised to find that they were the only ones to do it, while such 
good ones as Heikes and Snyder, first men up, had each lost 4. 
But Heikes got even the next time by going straight, having 
Phil as a partner. Money and Tripp lost 3 each Geo. Roll, qf 
much good pigeon fame, here shot his first sparrow, and made 14 
straight; he was second alone. 
Coming to the big race of 50 birds, $15 entrances, there was 
§om?thing to t§st the skill on a long^ race. The scores may not 
seem good, but you take the writer's word for it, that had you 
seen the birds you would have agreed on this proposition. 
There was one man who held the Fort, as he missed but one 
out of the first 43; yet he had a hard luck story on the last 7, losing 
2, including the fiftieth. Forty-seven is a great score, and not likely 
to be duplicated. 
Money and Phil were very close, with only 4 to the bad, showing 
that constant practice will avail much. Phil shot the most gamy, 
uphill race, as he had to put the last 20 to the ground to get into 
second place. Heikes made the second longest run of the day, 28, 
and landed in the 45, as did Clark, of Wabash. Wiggins lost but 
one bird out of the first, 28; and then drew five impossibles, and 
stood to win the fourth money all alone. As there was $180 in the 
pot, each winner was well rewarded, especially Mr. Fort, whose 
green sweater is still conspicuous, though the card heretofore worn 
on the back has been removed.. 
During the next three matches not a straight score was made, 
and E. H. Tripp, after doing very poor shooting, for him, won 
the last event alone, thus winning both first and last match. 
At the close of the programme a double match was shot, which 
fiu'nished much amusement. About half the little miscreants got 
away to "chirrup" about people's windows and keep tliem avyake 
on Sunday mornings as of yore. 
After shooting a couple of target races, the supply of shells had 
been exhausted, and all being tired, were. willing to leave the 
groimd. 
The kickers were not here. They had no use for "kicks." All 
will come next year and bring a friend. 
Long live the Crawfordsville shooting fraternity.

Trap Around Reading. 
Re.adinc, Pa.. Oct. 23. — A shoot that'was open to all was given 
by the South End Gun Club on its grotinds, on Boyer's Island, 
yesterday afternoon. Fred Gilbert, of Spirit Lake, la., champion 
wing and target shot of America, was present and gave a perform- 
ance that has never before been equalled on any local ground. 
Shooting over a magautrap, he broke 100 targets straight. Messrs. 
W. L. Coh'ille and L. J. Squier were also on the grounds and pai'- 
ticipated in a number of ,the events. All three are well known in 
Reading, and they were heartily greeted by their friends. This 
was Gilbert's first visit to Reading since the State tournament, in 
the spring of 1898.

Gilbert — Klein — B«tmistef Toufnament. 
Spirit Lake, la., Oct. 24.— The Gilbert, Klein and Burmister 
three-day fourth annual tournament was not as well attended as 
expected. The programme was a liberal one and should have 
drawn a good crowd of shooters. It had eight 15 and two 20 target 
events for amateurs, and two 25 open events for each day, with $5 
added to each event. 
On the second day a handicap 50-target event, open to all, $5 
entrance, and a cup to go with first money, was shot, A hand- 
.some cup was given to the amateur making high average. 
W. R. Crosby, shooting from the 22yd. mart:, won the cup and 
first money in the handicap, scoring 46, a very creditable score, as 
the targets were thrown about 60yds. Guy Burnside made high 
average in the amateur class, and won the cup. Burmister and 
Lee, of Spirit Lake, have invented a trap pull by which all the 
traps are pulled in rotation by one wire and level. It worked to 
perfection. Owing to the light attendance the third day's pro- 
gramme was not shot, and the day was spent in shooting ducks, 
fi.shing and catching frogs. Tom A. Marshall won high average in 
the frog contest, while Dr. Cook made the largest bag on ducks.

Mr. Floyd's Disappointment. 
New Yoric, (Jet. 23.— Mr. Editor, will you listen to my little tale 
of woe? After waiting a sufficient time for Mr. I. A, Hudson, of 
Dagsboro, Del., to cover my deposit to bind a match, T find check 
returned to me from you and in answer to my letter from your 
office, saying "Nothing doing" in Delaware. 
From the way Mr. Hudson wrote to Forest and Stream, I 
really expected him upon the next train to coax me to shoot him 
a match. I am indeed surprised to find that he is a shooter with 
his pen instead of with his gtui. 
One would think from the tone of the challenge he sent me 
through Forest and Stream that Mr, Hudson was green at trap, 
but such is not the case. Eight years ago I shot him a 50-bird 
race at Ocean City, Md., and defeated him. Five years, or about 
that time, later I shot him another race and defeated him again. 
During all of these years, Mr. Hudson has had a trap on his pea 
patch of a farm and was practicing at every opportunity. 
I think Mr. Hudson wants some cheap advertisement, and 
picked me out to get it for him. As I look at it, I would lose 
five pea patch farms before I would go into my hole as he has 
done, and be branded as a shooter with the pen, 
Mr. Editor, if there are an5'- more shooters like Mr. Hudson 
in Sussex county, Del., throw their challenges into the waste 
basket, unless the money accompanies the challenge; and if the 
money is there, let me know it. I will be at your office, or check 
will, in few hours afterward, for I think it would be finding money 
to shoot any one I have seen or heard of from Sussex county, 
Del. 
I also wish to state that niy farm is in Maryland and quite 3 
ways from Mr. Hudson, as his is in Delaware — if he calls his one.

Osslnfng Gan Club, 
OssiNiNG, N. Y. — Am sending scores made Saturday, 25th inst. 
Notice they are strung out to make them look as large as possible. 
Most of our regulars are off on shooting trips. The two invet- 
erates, Bissing and Washburn, are away, and the little parts they 
play in our Saturday matinees are missed. The former is up in 
Aroostook count>% Me., after a moose, and the latter is after the 
few parbidges he left for seed up in Sullivan county last fall.

The shotgun, choked for trap, duck, and other long-range shoot 
ing, is also serviceable for ruffed grouse, quail and other cover 
lairds, wheti the shooter uses in it ammunition containing the 
Hummer Shot Spreader. They are manufactured by Mr. Daniel 
Brown, Thornton, R. I., who will be pleased to send them, or 
information concerning them, as set forth by him in our busines- 
cohunns this week.

Chester greaseless bullets, whi»h have proved eminently successfu.
