TRIZE AWARDS. 
Clarence D. 
Coburn, for 
winning the high amateur 
grim on Tuesday afternoon, Aug. 19, received a handsome 
silver Thermos bottle. 
Dr. F. M. Edwards received a handsome casserole 
for the long run on the first day, Aug. 20. 
Dr. F. M. Edwards also made the high score on the 
first day, winning the loving cup. 
Bart Lewis won high gun second day, a loving cup, 
with a score of 14G. 
Wtn. Webster won the long run on the second day, 
a silver Thermos bottle. 
The annual corn roast at the New Columbus Gun 
Club is now being talked of, and a date will soon be 
set, and invitations sent out; and it is hoped that, all 
cur old friends who formerly participated, will be on 
hand to try the corn. 
Dr. J. A. Van Fossen, our old standby at the club, 
has been very poorly, and is at present in the West 
trying to recuperate, and the best wishes of all the 
shooters are with hint for a quick return to good health. 
Horace Heikes, (Pop’s little boy), was over, and he says 
shooting comes quite natural to him, - but he has not 
been doing much of it for several years. 
RUMBLINGS HEARD ALONG THE LINE. 
A. B. Shobe was tickled with his 119. 
Lank Grubb, of Thornville, said honey was scarce; 
but he let three hives go to market rather than miss the 
“Limited.” 
Fred Harlow, of Newark, O., shot an even clip 
through the tournament and landed in a good spot. 
J. Ed Cain, of Dayton, O., says he was glad to be 
with us. 
Pop Heikes, of Dayton, was here in the interest of 
his new company and will be associated with the Ohio 
and adjacent territory, and we hope to have the pleasure 
of seeing him often at the Columbus Gun Club. 
H. W. Veitmeyer, of Indianapolis, the congenial 
Du Pont man, was on hand for the “Limited,” and says: 
“This was certainly some shoot.” 
John B. Taylor, of Columbus, was of great assistance 
in running the tournament, which is undouotedly account¬ 
able for ms score not being quite as high as usual, yet 
one of the ladies at the churcn luncheon said that Jolin 
made the highest run at the luncheon. 
W. R. Chamber,am certain.y did himself proud to 
juggle the office end and shoot so well—288 out of ishO is 
some shooting—and one of the boys said that if they 
hadn’t got to kidding him up at the last trap he wou.d 
have gone out with 291 and thereby copped the per¬ 
simmon. 
file high professional for the tournament was 
Charles A. Young, of Springneld, O., with 290; J. S. 
Day, 289; W. K. Chambenain, 288. 
C. Jr. Moore shot splendidly all along the line. 
F. J. Coburn, of Mechanicsburg, O., has certainly 
been going some this season and has headed the list at 
a number of shoots; 285 was nice work. 
Thomas A. Marshall was here with his smile and en¬ 
tertained the boys between events with a lew of the 
latest. Mr. Marshall has had a very busy season, and 
there are few shoots '.hat he has not attended. Sir 
Thomas says that he hopes to bring over our .English 
cousins from abroad for a shooting test, as well aa any 
European marksmen who wish to participate. Vv e ex¬ 
tend the invitation to come to Columbus if a tour of 
the western cities is made, which is very probable. 
Coffman, Wing and Harry Price, of Dublin, O., were 
on hand for the “.Limited,” and were greatly pleased with 
the big shoot. 
“Louie” Cumberland is a slick fellow around an 
office in a shooting match, and “Louie” most every time 
he bane in the ottice at a shoot figgerin’ and hggerin', 
he say no more office for me; dis is the last time. 
Onyhow, he come back again. “Louie” say he rather 
hunt craw fish in Meigs county, anytime. 
We were pleased to see our old friend F. W. Mark- 
man in the lineup, and he seems to get all the enjoyment 
there is out of a shoot. Come again. 
Dr. Shattuck, from Coal Grove, says that he and Doc. 
Edwards are on the outs now. Thinking it necessary to 
ask what the trouble might be, Shattuck confided the 
fact that Doc. Edwards had been making a special olive 
oil tablet for the nerves, and having taken them himseif 
on occasions where a high score was necessary. Doc. 
Shattuck asked Dr. Edwards for a few to take at this 
"Limit shoot.” Dr. Edwards refused to produce. Doc. 
Shattuck claims he used to put it over on Edwards until 
he began on those tablets, and if Edwards won’t cough 
up, he will make some of his own. 
J. S. Day kept pumping away, and outside of his 
crackerjack shooting in the regular events, lie was a 
very busy man at No. 6, and pulled down a few shekels 
extra. J. S. says that old fellow that wiggled oh through 
the cornfield acted like an old prairie hen with a Hock 
of young ones trying to lead you away from the chicks. 
A great many ot the standard gauge shooters, includ¬ 
ing Pop Heikes, Tommy Marshall, Clarence Coburn, 
Lank Lrubbs, C. A. Young, C. F. Moore, “Roundy ' 
and John and many others, were looking for some salt 
to put on their tails at No. 6. A great many disloca¬ 
tions were recorded as the tryers tried to bend in the di¬ 
rection going from miss and outs. 
H. N. Camp, of Columbus came very near getting 
hooked with a bunch. 
PI. D. Smart, of Gabon, had a wrestle with the No. 
6 fliers, and says they were the best trained birds he 
ever saw, and that he saw some. 
Herman Feidner, of Marion, and a bunch of Marion 
boys were down and enjoyed the Twentieth Century. 
Billy Poole, of Springfield, always comes to Colum¬ 
bus, and here’s to Springfield on the 25th of September 
for a good big crowd at their good old-fashioned $20 
entrance straight percentage division shoot. Get a pro¬ 
gram and be there. 
Joe Rummell came down from Youngstown for the 
“Limit.” Joe likes to shoot better than eat; he isn't 
like John Taylor. Well, Joe, we trust you had a good 
time and will come again. 
Ora Shilling, of Columbus, stated that be was in¬ 
structed to read carefully page 81 in Harry Bear’s book 
on where to hold in regard to breaking ninety-five per 
cent, at a tournament, and being a little late, hurriedly 
read from the book, but became suspicious when he did 
not connect, but found he had been reading page 71 
instead of page 81. 
Sir William Fishinger, who is now our new County 
Recorder, and one of the old-timers in the shooting 
game, was over and took in the big show and all the 
little side shows. William is quite a mixer. 
Ray Campbell, of Edison, was refused admittance be¬ 
cause he didn’t come in on the train. He roaded it over 
on an Indian motorcycle. Two Indians. 
Bert Cooper, of Thornville, mentioned that a blue¬ 
winged teal in an 80-mile blow was nothing compared 
to the birds on No. 6, as they required an “unlimited 
lead.” 
L. H. Pussell and the boys from Lancaster, O., were 
out for the fun and enjoyed everything in connection 
with the shoot. 
M. S. Ilootman, the Grand American winner of 1913, 
was on hand, and like many, says, “This was some shoot 
and 1 had a mighty good time.” Come again, Ilootman. 
Brother John and Chet Hedges, the old reliable 
from A.shville, O., were both on the job. Chet has been 
pocrly of late, rind we were glad to see him out. John 
is toe healthy to act sick, as his complexion shows. 
John Keifer.of Columbus, of ox roast fame, was in the 
“puddle up to his middle,” and he says he will go there 
again. By the way, Johnny’s been up to Wisconsin 
teaching them fellers up there how to catch feesh. Ask 
him about it. 
Big Bill Weinman, the pump man, can manipulate 
nearly every kind of a pump but a pump gun. He used 
to shoot a double-barrel, but there was a scarcity of 
machinery about a double-barrel, so “Billyam” gets him¬ 
self a pump gun, so he could be pumping wherever lie 
went. He tried to pump big Darby dry, so he could see 
if there were any five-pound bass in it, as he has been 
looking for one over there for the past ten years. 
Frank Foltz, from McClure, has lost his old red hat. 
Don’t know if that makes any difference in the eye or 
not, but Frank looks happy just the same.
