FOREST AND STREAM 
[Oct. 27, 1906. 
Arkansas State Sportsmen’s Association. 
The sixteenth annual of the Arkansas State Sportsmen's 
Association, although held much later than any of its 
predecessors, was favored with tine weather and a good 
attendance, and this combination is necessary to a 
successful tournament. The Rose-Jack Rabbit system, 
which was used at this .tournament, gave eminent satis¬ 
faction, and every one went away pleased with the 
manner in which the purses were divided, while those 
who had never shot under this system were greatly sur¬ 
prised to learn that they drew money in every event, as 
some were under the impression that when they failed 
to land a place they were shut out. 
Forest: Park, where the tournament was held, is quite 
a distance from the city, but it is an enjoyable trip on 
the electric line, with splendid service, and few realized 
that they were fully live miles from the city. The 
shooting was done over two Leggett traps, and this 
enabled the management to finish up in good time, so 
that all were back to the city in good time for supper. 
The programme consisted of twelve 15-target events 
each day, with $16 added to each; four moneys, ratio 
5, 4, 3, and 2, and also two special or championship con¬ 
tests. The shaot was managed by Paul R. Litzke, who 
was ably assisted by Talbot Feilds, secretary of the Cap¬ 
ital City Gun Club, under whos'e auspices it was held, 
and Frank Wriggle. M. A. Stone was cashier, and 
handled this part of the affair in fine style, so that on 
the whole, the shoot was well conducted, despite some 
unforeseen handicaps that arose at the very last minute. 
The trade was well represented by L. 4. Wade, J. S. 
Day, Chas. G. Spencer, Turner Hubby, F. M. Faurote, 
Hood Waters and A. W. Hatcher. 
The state shooters in attendance consisted of the fol¬ 
lowing: A. L. Morgan and j. P. Wright, Camden; 
J. D. Proctor, Junction City; Frank B. Baptist, B. S. 
Ricks and Walter Mann, Fort Smith; Chas. Henson, 
Springdale; L. E. Knott and Ed. McCorkle, Arkadelphia; 
A. H. Campbell, Augusta; G. W. Clements, J. T. Lloyd, 
W. P. Xmon, J. E. Wells, E. C. Arnold, Emil Voss and 
W. H. Simpson, Pine Bluff; C. D. Conrey, C. Perry, 
R. E. Slifer, W. Simmermacher, A. Tindal and N. T. 
Kestersen, Stuttgart; Dr. A. U. williams, Hot Springs. 
The annual meeting of the Association was heid Tues¬ 
day night in the parlor of the Gleason Hotel. This was 
presided over by G. W. Clements, and trom the reports 
of the secretary and treasurer, the organization was 
shown to be in a flourishing condition. Mr. Baptist, in 
behalf of the Fort Smith club, invited the Association 
to hold its next annual meeting in that city, and assured 
the members that his club was willing to guarantee $410 
added and probably more. This invitation was accepted, 
and the next tournament will be held in Fort . Smith 
during the month of July. The election of officers re¬ 
sulted in Paul R. Litzke being chosen president; Frank 
Baptist, vice-president; E. A. Howell, treasurer, and 
L. E. Knott, secretary. 
First Day, Oct. 9. 
The honors in the professional class went to C. G. 
Spencer; J. S. Day second. Turner Hubby third, and 
L. I. Wade fourth. This class shot at 230 targets, their 
score in the handicap being included in the average, as 
they shot from the ltiyd. mark, while the amateurs shot 
under a handicap and their scores in this event are not 
included in figuring the averages. Aside from the regu¬ 
lar twelve sweeps at 15 targets, the Dupont • handicap 
at 50 .targets, and the two-man team championship were 
decided. The handicap was won by B. S. Ricks, a 16yd. 
man, with 42, and the $16 added money, which went to 
the next five high guns, went to the following: Thibault 
(16) 41, Chenaui (IS) 39, Clements (20) 39; Morgan (20) 
38, Mann (14) 36. The two-man team championship was 
won by Baptist and Ricks, of Fort Smith, with 42 out 
of 50; Chenault and Thibault, of Little Rock, were second 
with 38.

Second Day, Oct. 10. 
Turner Hubby was to the fore among the hired men, 
with one target over Wade and Spencer, who were tied 
for second. JJay was fourth and Hatcher fifth. 
Wright once more led the amateurs, and Arnold, a new 
arrival, was second, with Conroy third. 
The event of chief interest was the individual champion¬ 
ship, and this was something of a contest, as three tied 
for the trophy, though no great scores were made. Geo. 
Clements, of Pine Bluff ; Dr. A. U. Williams, of Hot 
Springs, and A. FI. Campbell, of Augusta, all finished 
with 44, which was high. The going had evidently been 
hard, as none of the contestants shot up to their mark 
in the shoot-off, as here Clements won with 19 out of 25, 
W illiams 17, Campbell 16. 1 he other special event wa. 
the three-man team championship, and this was won uy 
Little Rock 
team, consisting 
of Powell, Miller 
and 
Thibault.

Arkansas Championship Live Birds. 
Little Rock, Ark., Oct. 11. —Live-bird shooting was 
inaugurated here for the season, with the match between 
John M. Pemberton, a local man, and R. W. Larkan, of 
De Vails Bluff, for the championship and the Peters 
Cartridge Co. trophy, emblematic thereof. 
Visions of jewelry and championship honors have been 
haunting Larkan for some time, and with this preying 
on his mind, he determined once more to shy his caster 
in the ring and endeavor to wrest the emblem and honor 
from the holder. Many were laboring under the im¬ 
pression that Pemberton was going to be caught nap¬ 
ping, as he has done practically no shooting of late, and 
what little target shooting he has done showed none of 
the form that cnaracterized his brilliant work of last 
year, which enabled him to garner all the loose jewelry 
that bore any significance as a championship emblem. 
That those -who reckoned him out of form were mis¬ 
taken, is shown by the very excellent race he shot, which 
never gave Larkan a look in, so to speak, as the latter 
missed his first bird and then the match was virtually 
over. Pemberton disposed of the first 13 birds in slash¬ 
ing style, and then hesitated on a loafing bird that fell 
dead out of bounds. But this was his only slip, and this 
enabled him to finish with 24 out of 25, the very best 
score he has ever put up in a race of this kind. Larkan 
got started wrong, as his first one, a very fast twisting 
driver, got away. Shortly after his sixth, a circling in¬ 
comer, on which he used very poor judgment, also got 
away; then he lost his sixteenth and his twenty-second, 
after which he withdrew, having no further chance to win. 
The conditions were ideal, and the birds, a very fair 
lot, with a good wind to aid them. 
The conditions of the match were 25 live birds per man, 
30yds. rise, Interstate rules; challenger must post $1(> 
forfeit against the trophy and winner takes money and 
medal, and loser pays for the birds. 
After the match was decided those present took a hand 
in the sport, with the following results: W. B. Miller 
35, 38; Nick Peav 25, 28; Dr. 1. W. Lenow 21. 25; Paul 
R. Litzke 18, 25; W. P. Bird 15, 25; J. V. Harpending 
7, 15; Sonny Dickinson 7, 15. 
W. B. Miller has challenged Pemberton, and the match 
will be shot Nov. 2.

Jackson Park Gun Club. 
Paterson, N. J., Oct. 20. —The weather was rainy and 
gloomy. Nine shooters, despite the bad weather, took 
part in the competition. 
The Jacksons are building an addition to their regular

bers of the new rifle club that will be in operation

to be made by the popular organization, and it is pre¬ 
dicted that they will have one of the finest shooting 
parks in this section of the state ~ before the present 
season has been .brought to 
a close.

Montclair Gun Club. 
Montclair, N. J., Sept. 20.—Perhaps because of the 
stormy weather but six men were present to-day; those 
on hand, however, had a good deal of fun. 
Event 1, 25 targets, was for practice. Event 10, for a 
silver prize, was won by Boxall. Event 3, miss-and-out, 
was won by Wallace, while event 4, for a brass cleaning 
rod, went to Boxall. Event 5, a walking match, was tied 
for by Wallace and Harrison. Event 6, 25 targets, gun 
held below the elbow, was won by Cockefair. Events 7 
and 8, both miss-and-out, were won by Cockefair and 
Winslow. 
Handicaps apply in event 6.
