Houston (Tex.) Interurban G. C. 
Houston. Tex., Sept. 3. —We have just finished a 
very successful two-day registered tournament. There 
were forty-six shooters, and twenty-five of these shot the 
full program. We used one trap the first day, and 
two the second day. and trapped 15,010 targets. The 
weather was fine both days except for a northeast squall, 
which lasted about an hour, on the afternoon of the 
second day, which lowered some of the scores. Ed. 
Fosgard won the National Sportsman silver cup on 25 
straight. There were twenty-two entries in this event, 
fourteen of whom were amateurs. Fosgard won high 
amateur average; Dan O’Connell, second average, and 
Hodges and McNeir tied on third, with Plank fourth, 
with the following scores respectively, 380, 375, 371 and 
367 out of 400 — 200 each day. First average won gold 
scarfpin, tie clasp and cuff buttons; second, a case of 
black shells, and third, a handsome thermos bottle and 
leather case; fourth place won a $5 pair of shoes. 
Fosgard made the long run of the tournament, 50 
straight in practice and 71 registered; France ran 68 
straight and Murrellc, one of the pros, ran 103 straight 
and was high over all with 382 out of 400. Guy Ward 
was second, 274. and Schwartz 371. Murrelle was high 
in doubles with 45 out of 50. Hodges was high amateur 
with 41; O’Connell seccnd with 38, and Fosgard third 
with 36. First money in this event paid $26. 
In the Rice Hotel handicap, C. L. Beasley won the 
silver cup from 21yds., and the first money, which was 
$49, with the score of 47. J. T. Austin broke 48, but was 
shooting for targets only. There were four tied on 45 
for second money, namely. Ford, Gardiner, Horn and 
McNeir, and France was third alone. The cup went 
with first money, which was divided 50, 30, 20. 
The President put up a very pretty cut-glass howl 
for the best score made bv any lady. Mrs. W. G. Allen 
won, with Mrs. H. A. Murrelle a close second; the 
scores were 20 and 19 respectively. 
The cashier had all the money figured out before the 
handicap was finished, and before the last man was paid 
in the regular events the money for the handicap was 
figured and everyone got his money and went his way 
rejoicing. We wish to extend thanks to all those who 
helped with the program both days.

Winchester 
RIFLE CARTRIDGES 
T HE following record-breaking scores stand out in bold relief above all the wealth of wonderful 
shooting done at the International and National Shooting Tournament to date. Embrac¬ 
ing as they did shooting at 800, 900 and 1000 yards, they demonstrate the all-around 
skill of the men who made them and the surpassing accuracy of Winchester Rifle Cartridges. 
224 — 225 
The score of 224 out of 225 was made by G. W. Chesley, New Haven, 
Conn., and has never been equalled under the conditions it was shot. 
Mr. Chesley’s wonderful scores throughout the meet with Winchester 
Cartridges made him the man of the hour at Camp Perry. 
1726 — 1800 
The score of 1726 out of 1800 was made by a picked team shooting in 
the Herrick Trophy Match, but under Palmer Match conditions, for a 
record—not for prizes. The team, mistakenly named the “Usterwasers”, 
proved that its members are still very much “Isers", as the score beat the 
World’s Record of 1720, made by the United States Team in the 
Palma Trophy Match in 1912, by 6 points; and 12 points better than 
the score made by the winners of the match this year. 
WINCHESTER CARTRIDGES WIN THE 
REVOLVER CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE 
WORLD AND THE NATIONAL REVOL¬ 
VER MATCH. 
In the revolver matches, WinchestePCartridges easily outclassed all other 
makes, and confirmed the opinion of the Board of Government Experts, 
who pronounced them “the most accurate” after exhaustive tests. 
THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WORLD was won by 
Lieutenant Wilhelm Carlberg, of Stockholm, Sweden, with a score of 
486, made under the most difficult conditions. Lieutenant Carlberg 
used Winchester .22 Long Rifle “Lesmok” Cartridges. 
THE NATIONAL REVOLVER MATCH was won by Dr. G. H. Snook, of Columbus, Ohio, with 
Winchester Cartridges. Dr. Snook had to outshoot a large field of the best revolver shots in the country to win 
this important match ; and the excellence of the Winchester Cartridges, coupled with his skill, won him the victory.

Flea Bites. 
The National Protective Order of Fleas, enrolled 
among the sportsmen of the world and time-honored in 
its associations, held an initiatory meet at the Iowa 
State shoot, initiating several locals into the order. 
Grand Master F. K. Eastman, of the Fleas, super¬ 
intended the three “bites” of the ritual. George Wad¬ 
dles, was the most likely candidate, and makes a good 
Flea. Among the others received into full membership 
were Pike Florence, Hans Madsen, Leo Woisnak, Dr. 
Van Slyke, of Mpls., and Messrs. Emmerson and Apple- 
man. 
Among the obligations of the Fleas, which can be 
given out, was the solemn promise to keep the oppon¬ 
ents of conservation and sport constantly on the scratch. 
At the Iowa State shoot, next year, the Fleas plan 
on getting a large membership. A fine “dog’s tail” 
club may be built in the near future. 
The initiation into the Fleas is said to be a harrow¬ 
ing experience which remains a lesson in the memory 
of every applicant. 
As a symbolical illustration, one room of the Cerro 
Gordo Plotel was kept constantly locked. Fleas bred 
to enormous size could be heard growling within large 
cages. A man to become a Flea must encounter several 
of these fellows. 
Livermore G. C. 
Livermore, la.. Sept. 10.—Heavy local showers pre¬ 
vented many shooters from attending that were coming 
by auto. A heavy wind blew directly against the shoot¬ 
ers. causing very difficult targets. Billy Hoon won in a 
walk with 188. Scores:
