WESTERN TRAP. 
Daofofth G-n v-iub Toornameot. 
Danforth, 111., Oct. 4.— One of the first of the Illinois tourna- 
ments for this month was held to-day at this place, f n's 
of this season’s clubs, and though the shooters did n t g 
together until after noon, the traps were kept going from I to b 
P. M. As will be seen by the scores, some of those present dia 
not shoot well, but that was no fault of the traps or the grounds. 
The club engaged the well-known W. Tramp Irwin to look 
after details. Enough said! The traps were as well set as 
though' 10,000 targets were to be thrown in a day. All tne 
details of bookkeeping, squad sheets, hustling same, referee and 
scorer, were all there and soon onto their yob. ^ a 
However, one thing was neglected, and that was in the loaded 
shells. ' Not a sufficient quantity nor a properly loaded shell 
was on the ground. The best shell was three drams, one 
and one-eighth shot, while others contained two and three- 
fourths ' drams with one and one eighth of soft eights. We all 
live and learn, so when the next shoot is held, there will be a 
sufficient supply of regulation target loads. They know better 
by this time. . , 
The weather was fine, and some of the scores good. Mr. 
Rietz was high man, and he was shooting an autorMtic pumper. 
His score of 20 straight was a good one. The officers of the 
club are workers, and they worked so hard that they were the 
poorest shots on the ground. , , , , 
There was present and not shooting, the trade representatives 
Ward Burton and Tramp Irwin. Others present, were: H. 
Rosa'eus, George Rietz, of Gilman; Jack Neal, Rantoul; Wm. 
Burnes, Askum A. Ferris and G. H. Clark, Crescent &ty. The 
Danforth boys were E. R. Eilts, O.. Creamier, T. Gerdes, A. . 
Barnes, H. Gerdes, John Satthoff, John Ahrens and T. Gerdes.

N w London Tournament. 
New London, la.., Oct. 6. — The trapshooters of Iowa, Mis- 
ouri and Illinois' do not half appreciate what Dr. Cook has done 
:ir them. Now, think of a $500 gold donation, and then only 
fteen shooters present. This money, as well as other added 
matures, such as watches, watch fobs and such like, were put up 
y Dr. Cook individually, and there should have been at least 
eventy-five shooters present. The Doctor has held these shoiffs 
nth these same liberal donations for several years past, and tfie 
eputation for fair dealing and a good time generally has long 
een established, hence there must have been somethmg wrong 
nth the time- of year, for even John Burmeister and Guy Burn- 
ide were absent, something heretofore unknown, as they were 
Egular winners of some one of the handicaps. 
Besides the opportunity to win enough cash to pay expenses, 
here is always social functions and amusements galore— one of 
le diversions this year being a game of baseball j shooters ag^nst 
regular nine which had been beaten but twice this season. This 
roved to be the most laughable farce ever presented on an 
owa diamond. Outside of a local pitcher and catcher, the 
hooters and positions were: Barber, first base; Morrison, sec- 
iid; French, third; Barkley, shortstop ; Kohler right field; M. 
'hompsbn, center field ; R. Thompson, left fiold. John (j&rrett, 
mpire. Bill Crosby, chief - rooter; Stannard, Lord and Kinney 
ubstitutes. , , j ^ n • t 
Five innings were played, and the score was 4 to 0 in favor oi 
,ie shooters. The umpire came near being mobbed even by the 
dnners for “rotten” decisions. There were sore throats Md 
ired limbs when the night came on, but such fun will probably 
ever again come to pass upon Iowa soil. , . , . , . 
The weather was of the very best— warm, bright, no wind— and 
.lost of the scores made were good. 
The dates were Oct. 3, 4 and 6. t> jj 
On preliminary day Garrett ran 96, ^, 98; Stannard 9^ Budd 
6- French 90; Cook 90, 91; Hoon 98, 98; Morrison lOO; Bar- 
er 97. Messrs. Garrett and Hoon each won a watch, and Barber 
wo watch fobs. 
The traveling men turned out well, there being seven present, 
ludd shot one day only, being somewhat on the indisposed list; 
lut the others went through. Crosby came all the way from 
Ipokane, Wash., and did not lose his eye on the journey, as he 
ost but 8 for the two days, and made a run of 271. Don Morrison 
las present and made a very fine showing, but came second. Wm. 
itannard was third -wnth 566. i j f f.-. 
In the amateurs, Garrett set the , pace too hard for o^ers to 
ollow, beating out Barber, the champion, by 6 targets. Barkley, 
he Chicago boy, and Hoon, of the Iowa, tied on third. Garrett 
nade a run of 142 on the preliminary day; on Tuesday, 145, and 
in IVednesday, 62. Thursday Mr. Kahier rnade 54. 
the close of the shoot nearly all the shooters moved on to 
Davenport, where another three-days’ shoot was to take place.

At Granville. 
Granville, 111., Sept. 30. — There is a good club here, considering 
the age and the size of the town, and as some of the members 
are good shots and often attend other shoots, the tournaments 
held here are usually well attended; but this time the visitors 
were limited. The shoot was not advertised in the sporting 
journals, and the printed programmes were only sent out a few 
days in advance. Scores:

Cincinnati Gun Club. 
Oct. 7 was an ideal fall day, and those at the grounds enjoyed 
the sport to the full. In the 100-target race, Herman was high 
with 94; Maynard was a close second with 91. Morris Kaufman, 
trade representative from ’way down South, was a visitor, stop- 
ping over here on his way to Indianapolis. He landed third 
place with 88. In the practice events he went one better, break- 
ing 89. Bleh shot a score in the cup race, and just missed getting 
in with the two leaders. He broke 23 straight and then dropped 
the next target, finishing with 24. 
The Ackley trophy series will begin on Oct. 13. On Oct. 20 
the first shoot in the series for the Powell & Clements cup will 
take place. These -trophies will be shot for alternate .weeks. The 
handicap committee will meet on the 8th and decide on rules and 
handicap. It is likely that a distance handicap will be used. 
Ackley was at the grounds to-day and shot a few at practice, but 
was obliged to stop, as he is suffering from asthma. 
Maynard has returned from his trip to Winnipeg. So much 
had fallen in that section of country that it was simply impossible 
to get around, and he had no sport with the chickens, as he had 
anticipated. 
It is something unusual not to see Gambell at the score as 
often as he gets a chance, but to-day he was resting up and only 
shot at 16 targets. The scores:

Notes. 
The Columbus, O., Gun Club had a splendid day for their 
weekly shoot on Sept. 30, and twenty members were present and 
took part in the programme, which consisted of nine events at 
10, three at 15 and four .at 25 targets. In the first 50 shot at in 
events of 10 targets each, Togo and Winters broke 44 each; 
Holden and Harrison 42 each; Lacey and Bossell 41 each. Togo 
was high for the day with 149 out of 180, 82.2 per cent. ; Harrison 
broke 113 out of 130, 86.9 per cent. ; Holden 111 out of 145, 76.5 
per cent. The boys were not a bit disheartened by their defeat 
at Newark, and will likely have another try for the Phellis trophy. 
The interest in the weekly shoot of the Welfare Gun Club, Day- 
ton, on Sept. 30, was increased by a friendly team match, Watkins 
and Breen captains, and five men on a side. Rike and Storm 
shot at 50 targets each, the former breaking 47 and the latter 20, 
which divided between the teams made Watkins’ total 217 to 
Breen’s 226. Watkins made high score of 47. Smith, of Breen’s 
team, second, 45. In the practice events, Rike was high with 
89 out of 95. Carr 62 out of 70. The Welfare Club is offering 
attractive programmes at its Saturday shoots, and Dayton shooters 
are beginning to take advantage of the chance for an interesting 
afternoon of sport. One programme consisted of five 20-target 
events with $5 added money in the second and fourth events, 
entrance 114 cent per target; 14 cent for target being divided be- 
tween the -two low men shooting in all events. Other -money 
divided 60, 30 and 20 per cent. 
There wa.s good sport on the Dayton Gun Club grounds on 
Sept. 29, the principal event being a match between Less Reid 
and Wm. R. Clark of the New Paris Gun Club, and W. E. 
Lindemuth and Zenas A. Craig, of the home club. The first event 
was at 26 targets, Craig and Reid breaking 22 each; Clark 20, 
Carr 17, Whitacrc 16, A. Keller 12. In another event, Bailey broke 
21, Carr 16, Keller 15, and Monbeek 9. In the third, Carr broke 
24, and Craig 22. Then came the team match, H. M. Carr referee. 
The four men have been shooting about the same gait, a little 
ever 90 per cent. ; but in this match they beat their record in all 
but one case. Clark led the bunch -with 96, his partner breaking 
94, making the team total 190. Lindemuth accounted for 92, but 
Craig shot away out of form and broke only 80, making the team 
total 172, losing the match by 18 targets. At the end of the first 
round the score was 49 to 41 in favor of the visitors. In the 
second round they increased their lead to 12, the score being 95 
to 83. At the end of the third round they had added another one 
to the lead, 141 to 128, and in the last round they got 6 more. 
Clark made the long run of the match, breaking his last 42 
targets straight. Reid made a run of 37 and Lindemuth one of 32. 
Just before dark a final sweep at 25 targets was shot, Craig, Reid 
and Carr breaking 24 each; Clark 22, Keller 19. 
The medal shoot of the Rohrer’s Island Gun Club, Dayton, 
which should have taken place on Oct. 4 was postponed one 
week, as a large number of the members started on that day 
for Bing Island, on St. Mary’s reservoir, near Montezuma, for a . 
tew days’ duck shooting and fishing. Among the party were 
President Gus A. Hodapp, \ ice-President Wm. C. Oldt, Secre- . 
tary VV ill E. Kette, Treasurer Chas. F. Miller, Trustees Phil, 
Hanauer, Chas. Smyth, Harry Oswald and Horace Lockwood, 
and members John Schaerf, J. L. Sapp and Ed. Cain. The party 
will occupy the Bing Island Club house, and have the use of 
boats, decoys, etc. The contest between Hodapp, Oldt, Miller 
and Cain for possession of the medal will be returned on the next 
regular shooting day with redoubled vigor. There are four more 
days on which ihe remaining six shoots of the series may be held, 
and it is intended to pull off three of these on the first pleasant 
'VV ednesday. This will make a programme which will attract 
members and friends, as refreshments will be served in the lavish 
manner usual with this club. 
There was a goodly attendance of sportsmen on the grounds of 
the Phoenix Gun Club, St. Paris, to take part in the tournament 
held on Oct. 4. The programme included eight events at 16 and 
two at 20 targets, with a total entrance of $16. Four moneys in 
each event, 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent., and three high average 
moneys. Ihe shooters faced a rolling, green meadow, with an 
almost clear sky background. Wm. H. Batdorf and Jeff Karnehm 
managed the shoot, and had everything in running order at 10 
o’clock, when the sport began. Among the out-of-town shooters 
present were M. E. Lindemuth, W. A. Watkins, H. M. Carr and 
Ike Brandenberg, of Dayton. E. W. Holding, of Urbana; Judge 
Miller, VV m. Poole, Chas. Henderson and D. Snyder, ' of Spring- 
field; R. Neer, of New Moorefield; J. Weber and Geo. Keistler, 
of Celina; W. R. Chamberlain and J. N. Smith, of Columbus; 
W. J. Fishinger, of Hilliards; Alf. Hill, of West Liberty; D. D. 
Gross, of W. Jefferson. A good dinner was served in a large 
tent, where shooters and spectators were comfortably accommo- 
dated. In addition to the programme events, the district team 
trophy and individual championship cup were shot for. The latter, 
a handsome silver cup, is shot for each month at 60 targets, and 
is emblematic of the championship of seven counties. At the 
first contest in April, the cup was won by Karnehm. In a sub- 
■ sequent contest, Losh tied with Holding, the latter winning the 
shoot-ofl. Holding won the next four contests, and was again 
the victor to-day, scoring 49 out of 50. The team contest is for 
five-man teams for the championship of the same county, 60 : 
targets per man. Three teams were entered to-day: Urbana— 
Holding, Bailey, Winder, Poysell and Muzzy — scored a -total of 
210 and won. Springfield — Poole, Miller, Hendersen, Snyder and 
Neer — 201. St. Paris — Batdorf, Karnehm, Losh, Bal.entine and 
Brubaker — 197. The win to-day was the third for Urbana, and 
unless tied by Springfield at the next shoot, which will be the 
last of the series of eight contests, the cup will become the 
property of the Urbana Gun Club. In April, August and October 
the Urbana team won. Springfield won in May and July. De 
Groff won in June, and St. Paris in September. The next shoot 
will be held at Urbana. Eighteen men shot the entire pro- 
gramme. High average mopey was won by M. E. Lindemuth, 
145; J. Karnehm 144, W. A. Watkins 142, Geo. Keistler and Chas. 
Hehderseni were fourth, just out of the race, with 141 each, and 
J. H. Smith, 140, H. M. Carr 139, W. F. Losh and Alf. Hill 136 
each. I. Brandenberg 135, W. R. Chamberlain 134, D. D. Gross 
and D. Snyder 133 each, W. J. Fishinger' and J. ■ Brubaker 131 
each, Wm. Poole 124, W. H. Batdorf 116, and J. Weber 116. The 
club has a large shooting shed, which offers ample protection from 
the weather, and shoots will be held twice a month throughout 
the winter. The secretary has office room in the club house, close 
to the shed, with windows on the four sides. The club is a new 
one, but their first tournament, given this year, was very suc- 
cessful, ^and they are in the game to stay. The members all 
take an active interest in the sport? 
Team Match at Camp Dennison. 
The Madisonville, O., Gun Club, issued a challenge to the trap- 
shooting members of the Superior Hunting and Fishing Club, to 
shoot a six-man team match, and as a result there was a gather- 
ing' at the latter’s camp on the little Miami River, at Camp Den- 
nison, on Oct. 6. The match was perhaps as much to bring the 
boys together socially as to make an exhibition of marksmanship, 
and this object was fully achieved, as the visitors were entertained 
in a royal manner, about everything good in the way of solid or 
liquid refreshments was theirs, and was most thoroughly enjoyed. 
The match was to have been at 100 targets per man, but as the 
visitors found themselves shy on shells, it was cut down to 85 
targets each the Superiors winning quite easily, 312 to 292. Stein- 
korb, of the Madisonville aggregation, was ffigh man with 72, and 
Dan Pohlar, of Superior, second, with 70. Dan is also one of the 
good shots of the Cincinnati Club, and can generally do better 
than this. A heavy wind blowing in the' shooters’ faces and a 
hard background were responsible for some of the misses. Stein- 
korb started off at a rattling gait, breaking the first 27 straight, 
but after that he began to drop a few. The misses were well 
distributed, so that no long runs were made. Henninger was next 
with 23 straight. Uhl has done better work than he did to-day, 
but the duties of host, which suit him down to the ground, inter- 
fered with his shooting. Patten will make a good one. The tar- 
gets were hard, and he got a bit worried. The visitors as well 
as the members all have a good word to say for the chef. Squire. 
He’s a good one, and knows how to get up a camp dinner and 
how to serve it. The scores:
