N. C. R. Gun Club. 
Dayton, Ohio, Jan. 1.—The jack rabbit shoot held 
to-day was a big success, not because of the "system” 
used, but because the shooters know that anything 
pulled off by this club under the management of the 
“only” MacCandless, and with the efficient backing of 
the other officers, is bound to be perfect in every detail. 
The weather clerk was also kind, and furnished a 
balmy, spring-like day, instead of the cold, blustering 
weather which may be expected to usher in a New Year. 
Over eighty shooters were present on the grounds, 
seventy-three entering the regular events, and seventy 
shooting the entire program. Starting off with a 20Tar- 
get event, the next four were at 15 targets, and the sixth 
at 20 targets, a total of 100 targets. The entrance fee 
was low, only $6, of which $1 was deducted for targets. 
This allowed every shooter 5 cents for each broken tar¬ 
get, and furnished 5 cents for each miss for the high 
guns in each event, divided 50, 30 and 20 per cent. Three 
traps were in iise all day, the program being run off on 
Nos. 1 and 2, and No. 3 being kept busy by those who 
w’ished to shoot for targets only. 
During the day 400 or 500 spectators visited the 
grounds, among them many of the fair sex. The office 
was in charge of W. F. MacCandless, with S. L. Goss 
and J. R. Updike assisting. It was a busy place, but 
Mac’s system worked to a charm, and the pay envelopes 
were ready promptly. H. L. MacCandless was kept 
busy supplying the contestants with their favorite loads, 
the “shell room” being well stocked. O. B. Sortman 
had general management of the field force. At No. 1 
G. M. Wilson was referee and puller; No. 2, Ross 
Momheck; No. 3, John Neff. The trappers were: No. 
1, T. Welch; No. 2, Russell Mombeck; No. 3, Lester 
Perkins, W. Stroble and Cole. Scorers: C. R. Carley 
and R. S. McFarland, at No. 1: H. Bonner and E. Hall, 
at No 2. The bulletin was kept up to date by E. E. 
Strobell. 
The first squad was called to the firing line promptly 
at 10 o’clock, and with the exception of a few minutes 
at noon, when the workers were getting lunch, there 
was no cessation in the firing until shortly after 3 
o’clock when the last event was finished. A number of 
good scores were recorded. C. D. Coburn, of Mechan- 
icsburg, missed but three targets and headed the list. 
.T. Hargrave, of Jamestown, got in second place with 94. 
Sam Leever, of Goshen, tied for third place, with V. A. 
Hubler, of Dayton, on 92, Only three professionals 
were present, “Pop” Heikes taking the lead with eight 
down, Charlie Young following with 11 down, and L. J. 
Squier was third. 
At the end of the regular program a special event at 
25 targets was shot with forty entries. In this E. Ham- 
merschmidt, of Cincinnati, and F. C. Koch, of Phillips- 
burg, divided_ first money on straight scores. Second 
monev was divided among seven shooters w’ith 24 each; 
five got third money on 23 each, and the same number 
divided fourth money on 22 each. 
The Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky gun clubs 
were well represented. While here, Superintendent 
Arthur Gambell, of the former club, arranged for a series 
of inter-city team matches with Dayton and Springfield, 
the first match to be shot on the Cincinnatis’ grounds 
on Feb. 2, to be followed by one at Dayton on Feb. 
22, and one at Springfield on May 30. Each club to be 
allow'ed to enter not more than fifteen men in each 
match, the ten best scores to constitute the team total. 
On the journey home a series of local team matches 
were arranged between Cincinnati and Northern Ken¬ 
tucky, three men on a team, 100 targets per man. W. 
R. Randall, E. Hammerschmidt and A. Sunderbruch 
will represent the former, and H. R. Irwin, J. E. 
Schreck and G. \V'. Dameron the latter club. The first 
match will be shot at the Cincinnati grounds on Jan. 
12, and the return match at Northern Kentucky on the 
19th. 
H. L. Mombeck, president of the N. C. R. Club, did 
not do himself justice on the firing line. His other 
duties kept him on the jump, and gave him no time 
to steady himself for target smashing. S. W. Everitt, 
club captain, had his hands full, and the shooting was 
only an incident with him, which accounts for his low 
total of breaks. W. F. Bippus, vice-president, shot be¬ 
low his average, but scored lOO per cent, in fulfilling 
his duties as one of the hosts. Ike Brandenburg was 
content to let the visitors have the cream, but just to 
show that he could shoot, be broke 19 in the last event. 
Ed Cain is getting back into form after a severe illness, 
and proposes to make the Cincinnati and Springfield 
boys go some if they beat, the Dayton team on Feb. 2. 
Clarence Coburn only upheld the reputation of his home 
team, where they raise good shots and good sportsmen. 
C R. Stickels, of Hamilton, can do better, very much 
better, than he did here. It wasn’t a case of “clay 
bird” ague with him, just happened to be his off day; 
all shooters have ’em sometimes. F. C. Koch is some 
shooter and demonstrated the fact after the first event, 
going out with one of the few straights in the last 
event. J. M. Markham had hard luck in two events, 
or his score would have been nearer his average. 
The N. C. R. Gun Club officers are already making 
plans for the comfort and pleasure of those attending the 
G A. H. in June, and the shooters will be given the 
time of their life. The Indians are beginning their cam¬ 
paign for big doings at the tournament in July at Cedar 
Point, and from now on will keep the dates fresh in the 
minds of the shooters. They figure on an attendance 
second only to the G. A. H., and the inducements 
offered ought to make the realization of their expecta¬ 
tions certain. A week’s outing at one of the most 
beautiful summer resorts in the country, not to mention 
the fat purses which will be hung up, should prove a 
strong attraction.
