The Indian Tournament 
Cedar Point, Ohio, July 8-10 
By our Western Trap 
The fourteenth annual tournament of the Indians 
was the most successful in the history of the organiza¬ 
tion, the attendance apparently proving the wisdom of 
the action taken by the Braves at the 1912 meet, in 
changing the original policy of the Tribe, and opening 
the purses to amateurs only. 
The meet was held at Cedar Point, O., on July 8 , 9 
and 10 , the council wigwam being pitched at the 
Breakers Hotel, as it had been in past years. This is 
the third meeting to be held here, and it will not be the 
last, as the place is an ideal one for a week’s outing, 
affording various forms of amusement for the squaws and 
papooses, while the big chiefs are busy in their pursuit 
of the clay birds. Cedar Point is located on Lake Erie, 
a beautiful wooded peninsula lying between the lake 
and Sandusky Bay, eight miles long, and with a bathing 
beach the equal of any in the country. It is far enough 
from the city to escape the heat, dust and smoke; is only 
a short ride on the steamer from the mainland, and is 
in close touch with the outside world by phone and 
telegraph. 
The Breakers is one of the largest summer hotels 
on the Lakes, covers seven acres of ground, contains one 
thousand rooms, all of which open to the bracing breezes 
from the lake. The first meeting here, of the Indians, 
was in 1908. In 1912 the Tribe again held its annual 
pow-wow at the Point, and this year, for the third time 
the braves, with their squaws and papooses entertained 
their pale-face friends. 
The shooting grounds were a short walk from the 
hotel to the north. Four Ideal-Leggett traps were in¬ 
stalled on the beach, the targets being thrown toward 
the lake, with the clear sky for a background. Chiefs 
Buckeye, Make ’Em Fly, and Round Head pitched their 
tepees on the grounds several days in advance of the 
opening of the tournament, and had everything in readi¬ 
ness when the red men arrived. 
Among the braves present were Chiefs Grizzly, Round 
Head, Kinnikinnick, Bear Eater. Wealthy Water, Ten¬ 
nessee, Write ’Em Up, Heap Talk, Bald Eagle, One 
Score, Hoochee Coochee, Much Rest, Cedar Point. Ye 
Oak, No Pain, Shoot the Line, Right Wing, Long Talk, 
Monongahela, Hammock, Ducker, Make ’Em Fly, Ouick 
Paddle, Cure ’Em All. Buzz Wagon, White Scalp, March 
King, Black Stick, Muskingum, Happy Day, Buckeye, 
Sparrow and Fusser, thirty-two in all. The attendance 
was in excess of the expectations of the officers, about 
one hundred and fifty different shooters taking part dur¬ 
ing the tournament, and over one hundred shooting 
through. The professional Indians are entitled to the 
credit for this, which was due to their persistent boost¬ 
ing. With their continued interest and efforts, the In¬ 
dian tournament will take rank with the Westy Hogans 
as one of the best and largest tournaments of the 
country. 
The program consisted of six events at 15 targets 
and three at 20 targets each on practice day. July 7. 
On the first and third days the program was the same, 
two special 25-target events, 50 cents in each, with op¬ 
tional $2 sweep in each, and ten 15-target events, en¬ 
trance $10. The last were shot under the Squier money- 
back svstem. and settlement was made each day. A pair 
of solid gold cuff buttons .was given to the winner in 
each special event; a silver cup to high amateur each 
day, and a silver cup to amateur making long run each 
day. No contestant was allowed to win more than one 
tronhy. The second day was a handicap program. The 
Indian Handicap, 100 targets, entrance $7; handicaps 16 
to 21vds.: money divided Lewis class svstem; fotir 
classes, and winner in each class guaranteed $75, in ad¬ 
dition to a solid gold Indian head watch fob: a silver 
watch fob to second and a bronze fob to third. The 
Mallorv cup race at 50 targets, entrance $3, ended the 
day. Two specials at 25 targets each began the day’s 
sport, same conditions as on the other days. 
The Indians divided $100 among the five high ama¬ 
teurs in the regular and special events. 450 targets, and 
distributed $50 equally among the ten low guns. In all, 
thirtv-five trophies were offered. 
The Tournament Committee consisted of J. S. Speer 
(Rlack Stick). Rav Lormg (Shoot the Line). Tra C. 
Kruno (Ye Oak). A. Kuebe'er. Tr. (Cedar Point), Rolla 
O. Heikes (Ba'd Eagle), and John R. Taylor (Buckeye), 
and the fact that there were no kicks registered, indi¬ 
cated that their efforts to make an attractive program 
were successful. 
In the office were L. W. Cumberland (Grizz'v), L. J. 
Squier (White Scalp). D. H. Eaton (Write ’Em Up), 
with John R. Taylor (Buckeve) and W. R. Chamberlain 
(Round Head) as a reserve to cal' upon in case of need. 
Then, too, C. A. North (Make ’Em Fly), as usual was 
always on hand 1 when the work piled up, and helped re¬ 
lieve the congestion. 
Good weather prevailed throughout the shoot, al¬ 
though on Thursday it was threatening and a slight 
shower passed over the grounds soon after shooting 
began, but caused no delav. Evervthing worked smooth- 
lv. and each dav’s program was finished in time for the 
shooters to enjoy a swim if they were so inclined. 
PRACTICE DAY. 
Monday, practice dav, brought out a nice bunch of 
aspirants for honors, sixtv-two facing the traps during 
the afternoon. Rolla O. Heikes, Chief Bald Eagle, was 
the star performer, missing but one target of the 150, 
making a straight run of over 135. Pop is still some 
shooter, and the voung ’uns have to hustle to keen in 
sight. Next to him came George W. Maxwell (Chief 
Rieht Wing), with 146. followed hv W. R. Chamberlain 
(Chief Round Head) with 144 Chiefs Bean Eater (O. 
R. Dickev) and Monongahela (C. F. Moore) divided the 
honors of the next place on 143. The amateurs hardlv 
struck tbe : r gait this afternoon, but gave promise that 
they would give their professional brothers a hot race 
Editor, D. H. Eaton. 
when the serious work of the week began. The famous 
Chiefs Quick Paddle (Geo. E. Painter) and Ding Dong 
(James W. Bell) divided first honors on 145. R. B. 
Guy second with 144; C. D. Coburn and J. N. Knox 143 
each. John Philip Sousa (Chief March King) was going 
fast in the first four events, dropping but 2 in 70, and 
made a good finish. Hard luck in a couple of events 
kept him out of the first flight. Squad 4 made the day’s 
record in event 8 , breaking 99. The squad comprised 
C. F. Moore, G. E. Painter, G. W. Maxwell, R. W. 
Clancy and A. Kuebeler, Jr., the latter dropping one 
target. Horace Heikes (Chief Hoochee Coochee) took 
things easy, and let more get away than usual. Teddy 
Barstow was busy receiving congratulations on his 
recent admittance to the ranks of the Benedicts, and 
of course couldn’t do his best with his bride watching 
from (he side lines. W. R. Crosby (Chief Kinnikinnic) 
and Charley Young (Chief Sparrow) were late in reach¬ 
ing the grounds, but ground up 96 per cent of the 60 
targets shot at. 
The day was clear and warm, but with a light 
northerly breeze that made the trip down the line quite 
comfortable. L. W. Cumberland (Chief Grizzly) was 
busy in the office, with Chiefs White Scalp, Round 
Head, Buckeye and Make ’Em Fly, to help. When the 
“Closed” sign was displayed in the office window, about 
5 o’cock, ten full squads had been entered for the follow¬ 
ing day. The incoming trains in the evening brought 
many new shooters. At a meeting of the tournament 
committee, it was decided to make some change in 
the order of the program events.

FIRST DAY. 
The first day was somewhat warm, the wind having 
shifted to the northwest and decreased in force; but the 
heat was not at all uncomfortable. The glare of the sun 
on the water and sand was trying to the eyes, and may 
have affected some of the scores adversely. Several tents 
were erected back of the traps, and the shade afforded 
was appreciated by shooters and spectators. There were 
119 entries, and the four traps were used. The special 
events were shot last instead of first, as given in the pro¬ 
gram. Bart I.ewis and F. C. Koch had a hot race all 
threugh. The latter was one target in the lead when 
the program was half over, but Lewis caught up and 
they finished in' a tie on 146. In the shoot-off for the 
day’s high average cup, Lewis won with 25 straight to 
23 by Koch. Second high amateurs were J. N. Knox, 
H. W Heikes and F. H. Roberts, ,144 each; G. L. Dear- 
ing, C. D. Coburn and H. E. Smith 143 each. The pro¬ 
fessionals were in fine form. W. R. Crosby 'ed with 
only 2 down, but these were placed so as to spoil any 
long run. J. R. Taylor missed a target in his first event, 
then broke straight in the next five events, dropping 
one each in the seventh and ninth events; tying with 
J. S. Day for second on 147. G. W. Maxwell, J. R. 
Graham and Fred Gilbert 143 each. J. B. Barto (Wel¬ 
come Joe) began the day with an unfinished run of 56 
from practice day, and broke the first 55, giving him a 
total run of 111, winning a Du Pont long run trophy. 
The trophy for amateur long run was won by Horace W. 
Heikes (Hoochee Coochee) with 77. In the special events 
Bart Lewis, G. Painter, J. Pumphrey, J. S. Young and 
M. S. Hootman tied on 25 in the first event. In the 
second event C. D. Coburn, R. Loring, J. N. Knox, 
PL F. Roberts, J. S. Young, H. T. Strothers and R. B. 
Guy were tied on 25. The winner of the cuff buttons in 
each event was decided by score made in specials of 
Tuesday,_M. S. Hootman winning in the first, and H. T. 
Strother in the second. The surplus in the Squier money- 
back purse to-day amounted to $268.70, and was divided 
into eighteen moneys. First and second, $40.30 each; 
third to fifth, $2510 each; sixth and seventh, $17.45 each; 
eighth and ninth, $13.45 each: tenth to fifteenth, $7.15 
each; sixteenth to eighteenth. $2.70 each. The shooting 
was watched by many of the hotel guests, Geo. W. Max¬ 
well being a chief attraction, and John Philip Sousa 
(Chief March King), also receiving his full share of at¬ 
tention.

SECOND DAY. 
The day dawned cloudy and threatening, and soon 
after the first squads took their places on the firing 
line, the rain began to fall. It lasted but a short time, 
however, and the shooting was not delayed. The wind 
was light, from the northwest, and the shooters got little 
benefit from it, the heat being almost unbearable for a 
while. In the afternoon the wind increased, and the 
stunts performed by the targets proved too much for 
some of the shooters and spoiled several promising 
scores. 
The program was started with two special events. 
In the first one D. A. Edwards, H. T. Strothers, B. S. 
Donnelly, M. S. Hootman, J. Pumphrey and J. Barto 
tied on 25 straight. Strothers and Hootman were barred, 
each having already won a pair of cuff buttons, were 
cut of it, and the trophy was won by B. S. Donnelly in 
shoot-off. The shoot-off in the second special was won 
by J. Deist, defeating G. A. Beard, A. I. Brown, E. M. 
Heath, W. I. Spangler, G. VV. Parker, Geo. Burns and 
F. M. Edwards. Strother was also in this tie, but was 
not eligible. 
The handicap committee, Ray Loring and C. D. 
Coburn, did their work satisfactorily, as no remon¬ 
strances were heard. The handicaps were based on the 
scores made in the regular events of Tuesday. The 
Indian Handicap event was shot in four 25-target strings. 
There were 108 entries, a number of new shooters taking 
part. The distance handicap had its usual effect, and 
high scores were not much in evidence. F. G. llogen 
(17), W. I. Spangler (18). H. Hirth (19) and G. L. Dear- 
ing (19) were high with 94 each. J. 1. Brandenburg (17), 
A. B. Shobe (18), and ,T. S. Young (21) 93 each. The 
professionals finished with W. R. Crosby (21), and C. A. 
Young (20) tied for first on 93; II. Clark (21) and J. S. 
Day (21), 91 each; F. Gilbert (21) 90. This was the 
event where the result was a gamble. No one knew 
what class he would drop into, nor his place in his 
class. The shooters were divided into four classes, A 
taking in the scores from 94 to 90; B, from 89 to 85; 
C, from 84 to 81, and D. from SO down. The purse 
amounted to $660. which gave $165 to each class; $82.50 
to first, $49.50 to second and $33 to third. In Class A, 
five 94s received $16.50 each; three 93s, $16.50 each; three 
92s, $11 each. In Class B, seven 89s, received $11.75- 
each; four 88 s, $12.35 each; four 87s, $8.25 each. Class 
C, ten 84s, $8.25 each; three 83s, $16.50 each; seven 82s, 
$4.70. Class D, two 79s, $41.25 each; three 78s, $16.50 
each, and three 77s $11 each. 
The ties for the three trophies in each class were 
decided by lot, except that for the first and second in 
Class A, which were shot off at 25 targets each. It took 
three shoot-offs to decide the winner of the gold watch 
fob. G. L. Dearing and II. Hirth scored 21 and 24 each 
in the first and second shoot-offs and Hirth won the 
third time with 23 to 22. 
The silver watch fob for second high man was won 
by T. S Young in the shoot-off with a score of 24, de¬ 
feating Shobe 22 and Brandenburg 19. M. S. Hootman
