Iowa City G. C. 
Iowa City, Iowa, July 15.—The professionals did not 
have anything on the amateurs if Fred Bills did break 
194 out of 200, as J. R. Jahns, of Keota, la., did the 
same thing, and he is not as large, and only wears a 
pair of No. 9 shoes. Charles Hummel, of Laport, la., 
and H. A. Northy, of Waterloo, la., were a close second. 
Hummel had hard luck toward the last, as he and Jahns 
were a tie up until the last 40 targets. N. Muncy was 
high among the Iowa City boys, and considering the 
heat, and the way he worked, keeping the things a-going, 
gave a creditable account of himself with 187 dead 
targets. H. W. Kahler was a little bit handicapped on 
account of hurting his trigger finger early in the morn¬ 
ing. Manchester was well represented, and did some 
fairly good shooting, and would have done better is F. 
Morrell Hamblim, who is captain of the bunch, had not 
had to hurry so much to get home to get the milking 
done. Next season, he says, he is going to leave the 
calves run with the cows until after the snooting season 
is over. 
F. K. Eastman was very busy, as between shooting 
and expounding the superior merits of his powder, he 
was initiating new members for the new Order of Fleas, 
which only a good, conscientious and truthful shooter 
may join. 
L. W. Witrv, of Waterloo, Ia v a new shooter, gave 
a creditable account of himself with 174 out of 200. 
Durant was out with a full squad, and there was one 
thing noticeable about them, everyone had a rose on h : m 
as soon as they could be purchased on the ground. 
They surely do love flowers. 
E. C. Hinshaw, our new State fish and game warden, 
was with us, and that even 90 per cent, looked good for 
a man that only drank lemonade. 
The State University of Iowa City, was represented 
by professionals Lambert and Horrack, who, while they 
have not had the practice, are anxious to learn the 
game. 
The club was glad to welcome one of the members 
back again to the ranks—Wesley Kubecheck, Sr., our 
local gunsmith, who has been laid up for almost the 
past year from -an operation on his eyes. He was only 
able to shoot one event, but 18 out of 20 looks as if he 
was seeing pretty good again. 
The club as a whole joins in sending their thanks to 
the Winchester people for the service rendered by Fred 
C. Whitney as a cashier, and congratulates them on 
having’ a man that answers the old saying, “that the 
hand is quicker than the eye.”

Roanoke G. C. 
Roanoke, Ya., July 19. —Those who faced the traps 
on the local grounds to-day, did so under the very worst 
conditions which have existed during the present shoot¬ 
ing season, for a terrific storm, one of the whorst which 
has visited this section, held sway most of the afternoon. 
The scores made by those participating were for the 
most part good, considering the trying circumstances 
under which they shot. It is earnestly hoped by the 
club management that the members of the club who are 
expecting to participate in the State tournament on 
Sept. 1 and 2 will attend the week-end shoots and get 
into good condition. 
The weekly trophies offered by the club were won 
by the following members: 
Scratch Class—Jamison and E. W. Poindexter tied 
for first; Bloxton, second. 
Class A—Bringman first, J. W. Poindexter, second. 
Class B—H. R. Cox first; B. J. Fishburne, second. 
Class C—R. T. Fishburne, first; B. Berkley, second. 
Stevens trophy—B. Berkley. 
The scores made to-day were as follows, 50 targets 
per man:

Birmingham G. C. 
There were seventeen shooters at the Birmingham 
Gun Ciub on Saturday, July 19, who shot in the hot 
sun. A strong breeze on the back of the shooters made 
the heat more endurable, but played havoc with the 
targets. John Warren shot high with the score of 94. 
Tom Cassity paid us a visit after a long absence. Mr. 
Blalock, of the Ensley Club, also shot with us. Mr. 
Tyler paid his first visit this year. The scores, 100 tar¬
