Some Fine Pittsburgh Scores. 
Pittsburgh, Pa., July 30 .—Editor Forest 
and Stream: W. J. Holmes, of the Bon Air 
archers, on July 29, made the following re¬ 
markable score at 60 yards, ninety-six arrows: 
23-141; 24-146; 24-142; 24-164; total, 95-593. 
This score is remarkable in that Mr. Holmes 
has been shooting only a year, and doubly so in 
that the arrows used were a set of Duff three- 
quarter nock arrows, several of which had been 
repaired. The one miss was made with a de¬ 
fective repaired shaft in the early part of the 
round. No effort had been made by Mr. Holmes 
to grade these arrows. They were selected at 
random from a dozen bought last fall. If Jim¬ 
mie Duff can discover the secret and apply it to 
the manufacture of his high-grade arrows, he 
can get $20 a dozen for them. 
The following practice scores were recently 
made, and show great improvement in the shoot¬ 
ing of the men who made them. If it were only 
possible to duplicate practice work under tour¬ 
nament conditions, the meet at Boston in August 
would indeed be an interesting contest.

Mr. Douthett’s score at 40 yards is very 
good for a beginner, it being his first attempt 
to shoot a full round. 
Mr. Holmes’s score of 92-564 in the team 
round is the best in point of score that had been 
done to date. The writer in attempting to ex¬ 
cel this good work made a perfect hit score of 
96, but fell short of reaching Mr. Holmes’s total, 
making in all 96-558. After this score was com¬ 
pleted, he shot until an arrow was missed, total¬ 
ing 183 consecutive hits at 60 yards, and with 
the first 144 arrows making 144-802. 
Jiles made this remark: “Hertig, if you 
could shoot away from home, as well as you 
do in your own back yard, you would be all 
right.” Jiles attributes his own good work of 
late to a set of 450 grain Whitman arrows, 
which he regards at the most nearly perfect 
ever made. ,Mr. Whitman calls them “freaks,” 
but they pulled their owner out of the worst 
slump a man was ever in. O. L. Hertig. 
Dr. Elmer’s Fine American Score. 
Wayne, Pa., July 26 . —Editor Forest and 
Stream: The four Wayne archers who are 
practicing for the tournament are now scattered 
far apart from Virginia to Maine on their vaca¬ 
tions, so I have only my own score to report 
this week It is the best I have ever done for 
both single and double American, and I feel 
quite happy at having come within one hundred 
points of Rendtorff. Both rounds were shot 
this afternoon, and I held my bow loose-handed. 
Score:

This is the first time I have crossed 1,100.

Wayne, Pa., July 24 . — Editor Forest and 
Stream: I am quite confident that in spite of 
Dr. Hertig's observations to the contrary I really 
do hold my bpw in a loose grasp until it is 
nearly straight. It is then necessary to tighten 
one’s grip to prevent the bow’s flopping about. 
Hertig thought I did this a moment sooner than 
I do. It is something that the archer can feel 
better than an observer can see. That the same 
method works equally well with other archers 
is attested by the following extract from a letter 
from J. M. Mauser, of Laury’s Station: 
“Am trying out your loose-handed method 
with the inclosed results at forty yards: 6 - 46 , 
6 - 46 , 6 - 50 , 6 - 40 , 6 - 40 ; total, 30 - 222 .” 
A man who can make fifteen bullseyes out 
of thirty shots is doing as well as anybody in 
this world, particularly when he gets five of 
them in succession. Compared with Mr. 
Mauser’s previous scores, this shows a wonder¬ 
ful advance which I think can in part at least 
be attributed to his change to the loose-handed 
style. 
Since Mr. Hale's success on the Fourth of 
July he has decided to participate in the Na¬ 
tional next month. He and I shot a York, our 
first of the season, the other day, and until the 
last two ends he had the lead. Unfortunately 
while finding his point of aim on the first end 
at sixty, he got only a 3 3 1 = 3 — 7, which spoiled 
a good score. His second end at sixty was 
9 7 7 5 5 5=6—38. Score: 
100yds. 80yds. 60yds. Total 
Hale . 28-127 32448 21-101 81-376 
Elmer . 25-105 33-149 24-142 82-3S6 
The next day we shot again. Hale was 
going strong, but was called away and could 
not finish. I got a much better total, owing to 
a good 80-yard score: 
30-138 37-215 24-138 91-491 
The first end at eighty was one hit in the blue 
and five misses, so it shows that one should not 
despair after a poor start. Practically every¬ 
one in commenting on the Fourth of July tour¬ 
nament has spoken of it as a beautiful scene. 
Most tournaments are not especially beautiful 
nor do the managers usually pay much regard 
to the esthetic side. However, the coming Na¬ 
tional will mark a change in this respect because 
Mr. Bryant, in his invitation, requests all the 
participants to do the one thing that made the 
Wayne match look so w" and that is to wear 
white clothes. Let us hone there will be no ex¬ 
ceptions. One lone man wearing black trousers 
is enough to spoil the whole effect. When the 
archers • up to the targets, the line of white 
is extremely effective, and one or two breaks in 
it would be most unfortunate.

always ready to buy.
