The total number of targets trapped during the 
tournament was 90,940. s 
BEHIND THE FIRING POINT. 
Among the real distinguished personages in the 
shooting world who participated in the big shoot, chief 
of all was Elmer E. Shaner, the chief cook and bottle- 
holder, of Pittsburgh; Fred Whitney, or “cherubic Fred- 
erick,” as he is recognized among the best people of 
the Hawkeye State, and Marshall Sharpe, the expert 
compiler of scores, from St. Louis, Shaner’s right lung 
pals; Ed. Banks and Frank Eastman, the Hercules 
powder men, cracking shots and cracking good fellows. 
George Carter, the best and most popular game warden 
Nebraska ever had, of Lincoln, and all over, and Jim 
Day, of Cincinnati, the Peters Cartridge Co. kings, were 
both always right up with the hounds when it comes to 
shooting for money, marbles or chalk. In fact, Day 
has been the national champion, and he swears he’ll 
come back. 
Lester German, the pitching end of the one-time 
famous New York National League battery, of German 
and Wilson, of Aberdeen, Md., and one of the grand 
old pros, and one of the best of all the country’s best 
shots. Park Wilson, or.ce with the Lincoln, Mo., team, 
was the receiving end of the battery above mentioned. 
Riley Thompson, Cainsville, Mo., winner of the 
Grand American Handicap in 1910, with 100 straight from 
the 19yd. mark, at Chicago. 
Harvey Dixon, Oronogo, Mo., who won the Grand 
umbusT'o m 1911 W ’ th " ° Ut ° f 100 at 20yds -< at Col- 
Fred Gilbert, Spirit Lake, la., one of the widest 
wnHH n t sh wi, h l mg ’ u-°I years the champion of the 
bearcat a \vitli 0t th e 'double"parker. tar ® e * s ’ aad still some 
u ( , rf G , eorge w - Maxwell, Hastings, Neb., the host won- 
t one ' arn \ shot the pastime has ever known, and 
artists of th°°1 35 ^ ° f best of the ‘wo-armed 
artists of the day, as his record of an average of 95 per 
wW Hn P 5 °'V° 00 t3rget [ ull , y testifies - The lack of one 
wing doesnt seem to bother Mr. Maxwell a little bit. 
and he is just as quick on the trigger as the quickest, 
-i j ’ u ■’ °? e of Chlca g°’s best known profession¬ 
als, and who is always in the front rank when it comes 
to the yearly average. 
C. G-. Spencer, of St. Louis, another great one, and 
who won the professional average for three years in 
succession, and has a record of 519 straight 
W. R. Crosby, “Bill” for short, of O’Fallon, Ill., 
last year s champion pro and champion in several for¬ 
mer years, who flared up Monday, practice day, and 
pulverized 100 straight. 
J. R. Graham, Chicago, who was the winner of the 
championship shoot at the Olympic games at Stockholm 
last year, as an amateur, with 96 out of 100. 
rvi i W ' H i IIeer ’ “Billy” among the chickens of Guthrie, 
t’kla., and one of the most popular shots in the United 
states, winner of the championship on divers occasions. 
Jesse S. Young. Chicago, winner of the Southern 
Handicap at Columbus, Ga., in 1910, with 96 from the 
22yd. mark. 
O. R. Dickey, of Boston, one of the guys to conjure 
by, a grand old man of tile game, and the one-time win- 
ner of the Grand American ’way back in 1896, at live 
birds, with 25 straight. 
If. W. Kahler, Des Moines, winner of the Pinehurst 
i/?/ 1 *; 103 * 3 ’ a * P'nehurst, N. C., last year with 98 out of 
100 from the 22yd. mark, a really phenomenal exploit. 
T. E. Doremus, of Wilmington, Del., and therefore 
another right geek, one of the directors of the Inter¬ 
state Association, who thinks there is no stuff in the 
shooting world like Du Pont. 
E. Varner, the Adams, Neb., newspaper man, the 
champion amateur of the State, and who has the chance 
yet to be President of the United States, so much do 
the shooters think of him. 
C. B. Eaton, Fayetteville, Mo., one of old Missouri’s 
biggest cattlemen, and also one of her best shots, if not 
the best. "I’ve got a couple of carloads of 1,500 pound¬ 
ers over on the Chicago market to-day,” he said to Mr. 
Shaner, on opening day, “but what’s a few thousand 
dollars when you can come here and mingle with a 
hunch like this.” 
Del Gross, of Kansas City, one of the old guard and 
a good man. 
Carl Goucher, of Wahoo, Neb., one of the classy 
shots of the State, a prince and a great aid to the pres¬ 
ent management. 
And last, but not least, Frank A. Gotch, the world’s 
wrestling king, and one of Iowa’s best shots, who drove 
over from Humboldt, in his Cadillac. The champ was 
the cynosure of all eyes, but he wouldn’t talk mat matters, 
as he was here to shoot and have a good time, as he 
always has wherever he goes. 
There was a little reunion of the Order of Old- 
Timers heid under the big cottonwoods at the park the 
first evening, with George W. Loomis, W. D. Townsend, 
Charlie Thorpe, Frank Parmelee, Jake Crabill, Ed Banks, 
Elmer E. Shaner, Fred Whitney and others, and some 
of the reminiscences resurrected there would make a 
volume as big as the Congressional Record. 
Monday evening the shooters attended a meeting 
of the Ak Sar Ben Club, and witnessed the initiation 
ceremonies at the “Den.” Some special stunts were 
injected into the show for their benefit. Doc Fry ap¬ 
peared in a special shooting number, repeating his circus 
act. It made a great hit, literally and figuratively. Harry 
I.. Tostevin, president of the Tri-City Ben Franklin 
Club, was the chairman of the speaking program, which 
by the way, brought out an unusual list of wits. Every 
speaker had a few remarks to say, and beside the spice 
of brevity, each had humor a-plenty. The Rev. Mr. 
Miller, of Kennard; C. E. Corey, secretary of the Ben 
Franklin Club; Jack M. Hogan, A. L. Cook, Jess Max¬ 
well, of Hastings; Elmer E. Shaner, of Pittsburgh, and 
T. E. Doremus, of Wilmington, Del., were among the 
speakers. Hogan closed the session with a pantomime, 
and Shaner recited a poem by way of putting something 
new into the entertainment. 
Promptly at 9 o’clock Tuesday the tournament was 
on tap, so systematic were all of the obligations im¬ 
posed on General Manager Elmer E. Shaner, of Pitts¬ 
burgh, that Mayor James Dahlin, after one of his cus¬ 
tomary and graceful greetings to the assembled shots, 
strode to the mark on the stroke of the hour and banged 
away at the first target flung into the ambient by chiet 
of the traps, H. E. Winans, of St. Louis, which, of 
course, he didn’t come within a mile of. 
Dr. Theodore S. Palmer, of the Ornithological 
Bureau at Washington, spoke before a large gathering 
of sportsmen at the Paxton Hotel Wednesday night, in 
explanation and defense of the Weeks-McLean law, 
which calls for the custody of all migratory and insec¬ 
tivorous birds by the United States Government, and 
which was approved by Congress on March 4, of the 
present year.
