Northern Kentucky G. C. 
The money-back tournament held on Sept. 28, was a 
very successful affair, although the attendance fell below 
expectations. The weather was threatening early in the 
day, and this kept many of the out-of-town shooters from 
starting. Twenty-three shooters faced the traps. Of 
these, W. R. Chamberlain, of Columbus, O., a profes¬ 
sional, started off with the first 45 targets straight, and 
finished in first place with 145. J. E. Cain, an amateur 
of Dayton, O., gave him a close race, being tied at the 
close of the ninth event, but dropping into second^ place 
in the last event with a total score of 144. Capt. George 
Dameron, a local shooter, was third with 138. C. S. 
Rybolt arrived at the grounds late, and shot in only the 
last six events; he shot an extra 10 targets to. make up 
an even 100, and scored a total of 93. J. Francis and Dr. 
Maddox, of Harrison, O., were among the visitors, and 
each scored 133. Ike Brandenberg, of Dayton, O., was 
not in his usual form, and dropped many more targets 
than is customary with him. The losses amounted to 
$26.60, in sums ranging from 40 cents to $6.25, and the 
surplus in the money-back purse was $20.00. This was 
divided into six moneys, 25, 20, 15, 15, 15, 15 and' 10 per 
cent. W. Bailey, after the first event, shot a very even 
gait, getting into fourth place on 136. Roundy Chamber¬ 
lain did the figuring for the shoot, and was on the job 
all right, besides doing some fine work at the traps. 
Manager H. R. Irwin is at work on a program for a 
shoot to be pulled off in two or three weeks, which will 
offer a chance for the good ones to make a killing, and 
at the same time not cut out the poorer shots. It will 
probably be a 300-target race, with purses worth trying 
for, and if a shooter is in trim he can take down some¬ 
thing over all his expenses. Scores:

Long Beach G. C. 
Long Beach, L. I., Sept. 27. —The Long Beach Gun 
Club celebrated its second birthday with a three days’ 
shoot, ending to-lay. It was pulled under direction of 
Abercrombie and Fitch, assisted by E. R. Wilbur and 
managed by Jack Fanning, backed by Nassau Hotel. 
During the three days about 100 shooters blew in and 
out at one time or another, some discouraged by the 
baffling wind, some by the eastern exposure, which 
threw a disconcerting glare down the barrels, and 
some by the fact that Bart Lewis was shooting in G. 
A. H. form, while others found no handicap event on 
the program and wouldn’t take a chance against . the 
class that turned out. The general averages were low 
because, when old Boreas didn't dance the tango and 
other syncopatious with Miss Bluerock, a regular 
Belasco—Blanche Bates, Under Two Flags—sand storm 
came down the beach into Mr. Shooter’s optics. 
The surprise of the tournament was Dan McMahon, 
of N. Y. A. C., who took high gun on second day, 
beating Bart Lewis by five aerosaucers, the scores being 
138 and 143, and the Long Beach cup with 96 out of 100. 
Aside from this lapse, however, Bart kopped the kale 
in every thing, getting high gun for the three days, 
winning Metropolitan handicap with 91, taking high gun 
for three days with 419 out of 450, beating Hank Stevens, 
the classy professional, by nine rocks. Dan McMahon 
was runner-up on entire program with 408, while F. B. 
Stephenson, from Crescent A. C., took third place on 
407. J. H. Hendrickson, of Bergen Beach, topped second 
notch for Metropolitan with 89 and was second gun for 
third day with 134. Somebody—seems like it was some 
of that Port Washington outfit—talked about fifteen 
yards back of Dan McMahon, causing him to lose his 
stride, and his chance to be runner-up for Bart on the 
final day. 
Speaking of the Port Washington bunch, there were 
more shooters from the little burg that celebrates on 
Oct. 21 the • coming of the railroad, than from any 
other town. Some half dozen wind-jammers from the 
Port were punching holes in the ambient atmosphere, 
after which the skipper of Kelpie II. couldn’t find his 
score when the tent was pulled down (and this with 
most unnecessary haste); finally on appeal to the “man 
higher up” some one found that the salt had found as 
much difficulty in finding the targets as he had in 
finding their total. From out of the mess someone drew 
90, which Mr. Pranckard accepted as his—he couldn’t 
just say what happened to the balance of the 150. But 
to return to our Southdowns. F. B. Stephenson shot in 
excellent form the first two days, taking second money 
the first day with 140 and tying up with that crack Paul 
Von Boeckman, from Bergen Beach, with 136 for fifth 
place on second day. Rather a shock was the below 
par shooting of the bully amateur cracker, J. E. S. Dey 
—the conditions beat him to it handily. Third on 
Metropolitan was A. L. Ivins, from over Jersey way, 
with 88. 
Three of the co-educational squad turned out, and 
Jessie Thorpe, pink-cheeked and confident, surprised the 
old rock breakers by smashing 103 out of 150, which 
was excellent under the conditions. Miss Brown, a new¬ 
comer, but none the less attractive, outguessed the 
zephyrs to the tune of 66, while Mrs. Rodgers shot a 
good race, getting 88 of her efforts. 
Dr. Culver, from Travers Island, took fourth high 
average with 397. High professional was Hank Stevens 
with 410, pro-deuce being II. S. Welles, who de¬ 
stroyed 398, followed by Neaf Apgar with 391. Frank 
Lawrence said he’d rather be duck shooting; he finished 
last with 352—but he could tell you just what everyone 
was shooting. All of which reminds us that Mrs. 
Rodgers won ladies high average for tournament with 
288 out of 450. Here endeth the first lesson, which 
teacheth several things, most of which are that Long 
Beach with traps in their present location is not an 
ideal place for a shoot. It also teaches that the way to 
draw a good crowd there is to hold the shoot earlier in 
the season—not just before the opening of the game 
season—to offer attractive cash prizes instead of trophies 
and to follow either Tuesday and Wednesday after the 
Westy Hogans or immediately after one of the Con¬ 
necticut T. S. L. shoots, and to have a good handicap 
event with the Squier money-back system in vogue 
throughout—give the average shooter a shake for his 
aces, at least. 
The tournament was well managed by Jack Fanning, 
and all events were run off in good time and satis¬ 
factorily. The scores of the Metropolitan Championship
