Birmingham G. C. 
Birmingham, Ala., Sept. G.—Thirteen shooters were 
at the weekly shoot of the Birmingham Gun Club. There 
were several showers during the afternoon, and condi¬ 
tions were very hard owing to the dark clouds in the 
background and the continual sprinkling of rain. 
Several of the shooters did well, considering the con¬ 
ditions. R. H. Baugh came in late, but did good work 
with 46 out of 50 shot at. H. C. Ryding is still keeping 
up his good work. 
Judging from present indications, the Ensley Gun 
Club tournament on Sept. 17 will be well attended, and 
some good scores will be made. Reports from suround- 
ing gun clubs indicate that they will be represented by 
their best shooters. 
Scores were made as follows:

Hammond G. C. 
Hammond, Tnd., Sept. 1.—The Hammond Gun Club 
held its annual registered tournament on its grounds 
at Hammond, Ind.. to-day. A small number was in 
attendance—the smallest ever present at any of the 
•club’s tournaments, owing to the fact that the Chicago 
Gun Club held a tournament at the same time, thereby 
cutting off the Chicago attendance. 
Shooting conditions were poor on account of a heavy 
wind blowing toward the shooters, affecting the flight 
•of targets and blowing the burnt powder into the 
faces of the shooters. But a few good scores were made. 
J’as. Barr, was high professional with 176 out of 180. 
H. Clark was high amateur with 1G4. The five high 
guns participating in the division of the added money 
were: H. Clark, F. Probert, J. IT. Cory, H. A. Collins 
and J. C. Becker. Scores:

Roanoke G. C. 
Quite a good crowd of the faithful ones were on 
hand Saturday afternoon, the Gth, considering the fact 
that the State tournament was concluded only a few 
days ago. The next program of interest to be shot by 
the club will be what is known as the “turkey shoot” 
to be shot on the last Saturday in October, at which 
shoot there will be twenty good live fat turkeys to be 
won. The weekly trophies offered by the club were won 
by the following members: 
Scratch Class: First, Dr. E. C. Watson; second, W. 
S. Jones. 
Class A: First, S. H. Holland; second, J. W. Poin¬ 
dexter. 
Class B: First, E. D. Heins; second, H. E. Dyer. 
Class C: First, A. W. Barbour; second, Byrd.

Westwood G. C. 
The weekly shoot on Aug. 31 was poorly attended, 
owing to the intense heat, and those present preferred a 
shady seat to a place on the firing line. Craig and De- 
Wall, two new ones in the clay-bird game, were the only 
two who had the nerve to shoot at 100, and they made 
very good scores for novices. Ruehlman got 24 in his 
second event, but fell down badly in the others. Carson 
did well in the one event he shot. 
On Labor Day, with the mercury close to 100 de¬ 
grees, the club was lucky to muster fourteen shooters. 
Of these, only three had the courage to brave the heat 
for more than two or three events. Willey shot at 175 
targets, breaking 92 in his last 100, and 157 in all. Ruehl¬ 
man was next with 80 breaks, and La Boiteaux came 
third with 76. Rybolt shot a little below his average, 
scoring 88 per cent, in two events. The record score for 
the day was made by Ruehlman, who broke 25 straight 
in a three-cornered match, defeating Rybolt, 24, and 
Willey 23.
