FOREST AND STREAM 
[Oct. 20, 1906. 
Messrs. L. J. Squier and Lester S. German tied on high 
average with 376 out of 190. There was a very strong 
cross wind, and in consequence the shooting was ex¬ 
tremely difficult.

Clinton Tournament. 
The sixteenth annual tournament of the Clinton, Ont., 
Gun Club was held Oct. 9 and 10. 
lhe shooting was at live birds and targets. A good 
crowd of shooters was present from Hamilton, Ridgetown, 
St. Thomas, London, Exeter, Owen Sound, Crediton, 
Port Frank, Seaforth and other points. 
Notwithstanding the bad weather, the shoot was one 
of the best held on the local grounds. The live birds 
were ah extra fast lot, and were assisted by a strong 
northwest gale, with occasional hailstorms, and many 
brilliant kills were made. 
High average for the first day was won by J. E. Hovey, 
Clinton; second by A. E. McRitchie, Ridgetown; third 
by J. E. Cantilon, Clinton; F. Galbraith, Ridgetown, and 
Frank Miller, Port I'rank. .1 he scores for first day

Oct. 10, Second Day. 
The second day opened under the most unfavorable 
conditions possible. Over six inches of snow fell during 
the night, and at 9 o’clock, when the shooters put in an 
appearance, a blinding snowstorm was in progress and 
continued all day. Nevertheless, the shooting went on, 
and some splendid scores were made; in fact, were ahead 
of last year’s, which were under favorable conditions. 
Nine events of 20 targets were completed. Roy Luck, of 
Laring, won high average with the score of 167; G. 
Beattie, second, with 164; R. Day third, with 163. The

Pick Ups. 
Better shooting than that made by Roy Luck, of Sarina, 
is very seldon seen. Nearly 93 per cent, in a gale of wind, 
and a snowstorm, and 96 out of his last 100 from 21 and 
22yds., has never been equalled in Canada, and places 
him in the front rank in the trapshooting world. Among 
shooters he is better known as Billy Bounce, his Canadian 
Indian name. 
A welcome visitor in Canada is John S. Cole, of De¬ 
troit, and while not a shooter of nitro powder, he is 
always full of gas that has got to escape either in a good, 
story or talking up the goods he represents. He says 
U. M. C. stands for Use More Cartridges. John S. 
refereed the live birds, and his ruling was never ques¬ 
tioned. Come again. 
Mrs. Homebody (engaging cook)—Very well, then; 
you may come to-morrow at 10. 
Cook—Oi’d sooner come at 8, mum. Thin if Oi don’t 
loike th’ place Oi can lave in time for the matinay. 
Pat—Is Kelly a friend av yours? 
Mike—He is not—th’ lasht time I licked him he 
rayfused to shake hands. 
Wawaset Gun Club Trophy. 
Wilmington. Del., Oct. 10.—A group of shooting en¬ 
thusiasts were favored with a gamely contested race for 
the Wawaset Gun Club trophy to-day on the grounds 
of the Wawaset Gun Club. The contestants were Lester 
S. German, of Aberdeen, Md., and Mr. Luther J. Squier, 
of Wilmington, both of high renown in the annals of 
trapshooting, especially in respect to great tournaments, 
where the competition is hardest and thickest. 
The race was at 100 targets, shot in strings of 25. 
There was some wind, but not enough to seriously in¬ 
terfere with good scores. The excellent form in which 
both expert principals have been shooting of late aroused 
anticipations of a fine contest. In this, the spectators 
were not disappointed. At the end of the first string, 
German led by one target, 24 to 23. He broke the next 
25 straight, lost one out of the third 25 and broke the 
fourth 25 straight, thus scoring 98 out of 100. 
Squier broke his third 25 straight. He scored 93 out 
of ICO, which was good shooting, notwithstanding the 
small difference between it and that of his opponent. 
The scores: 
L S German.24 25 24 25—98 L J Squier..23 22 25 23—93 
LESTER S. GERMAN. 
While Mr. German has achieved great fame as an 
expert trap shot, a few years ago he was better known 
among the baseball enthusiasts. In 1893 his name was 
found at the head of the list of pitchers in the National 
League. He not only headed the list for his pitching 
ability, but also as a fielder of that position. Coming 
from the Augusta, Ga., team to the New York National 
League team in the year above mentioned, he at once 
made good, and was a member of that famous team for 
four successive seasons. Few, if any, of his old team 
mates would recognize him now, for when he was in 
baseball he weighed 160 pounds, whereas he now refuses 
as a rule to look at a weighing machine. Mr. German 
is not a bit touchy about his age, but owns up to thirty- 
six years on earth, stating that he arrived in Baltimore, 
Md., June 2, 1870, a small, but extremely pretty, baby. 
There was some sweepstake shooting in addition to the 
match, the totals of which follow:

W. Pa T. S. L. 
Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct. 10.—Herewith are the scores of 
the last meet of the Western Pennsylvania Trapshooters’ 
League, held on the grounds of the North Side Gun 
Club, at Carnegie, Pa., Thursday, Oct. 4. 
The weather was unfavorable owing to the high wind 
and plenty of rain, making shooting quite hard; never¬ 
theless, under these adverse circumstances, records for 
the League were broken and set at a high standard for 
next year. Special mention should be made of the 
shooting done by Mr. D. W. Baker, of Allegheny, and 
Mr II. H. Stevens. Mr. Baker lost only 2 targets out of 
180, the best previous record for the League being 173. 
H. FI. Stevens was close second with 177, and Clifford 
third with 176. The squad record was also broken by 
squad No. 2 in event 9 and 10. The squad was composed 
of Clifford, Kelsey, Hickey, Fleming and Anderson. 
In event No. 9 they broke 75 straight, and in event 10, 
74 out of 75, Kelsey losing a hard left-quarterer. This 
made their total score 149 out of 150. 
The trade was represented by L. J. Squier, H. FI. 
Stevens, James Lewis, Charles G. Grubb and E. Reed 
Shaner, of the Sportsman’s Supply Co., who also acted 
as cashier of the tournament. 
This being the last tournament of the League, found 
eight men eligible to compete for the Lefever gun. This 
event was at 25 targets, handicaps 15 to 20yds. The 
scores of this event are also appended. Kelsey and 
Anderson tied for a gun, with 24 out of 25, Kelsey shoot¬ 
ing from 20vds. and Anderson from 18. In the shoot-off 
Kelsey dropped his second target, and Anderson broke 
his; the event being miss-and-out, Anderson was de¬ 
clared the winner amid applause from the spectators. 
Ihe system in which this League has been running 
this year was of paying back the entrance fee, so the 
great success at the close of the season, there is still 
$100 in the treasury to be divided among the contestants, 
as ordered by the board of control. Scores follow:
