DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Next shoot of the Chicago and Interurban League 
will be on the grounds of the South Chicago Gun Club, 
instead of the Arlington Heights Gun Club, by agree¬ 
ment. 
« 
S. D. Fowler, of Walcott, aged seventy-eight, the 
oldest living trapshooter in New York State, and a 
marksman of considelable reputation, took part in the 
tournament at Fulton, N. Y., Aug. 7. Who says trap¬ 
shooting isn’t a healthful recreation? 
We are informed by the International Falls Gun Club, 
through Elmer E. Shaner, Sec’y-Treasurer of the Inter¬ 
state Association, that the tournament registered for the 
International Falls (Minn.) Gun Club, scheduled for 
Aug. 1, was cancelled owing to the loss of their shoot¬ 
ing grounds. 
The Interstate Assoc : ation announces that, in addition 
to the $1,000 added by them, the Portland Gun Club will 
add $20 to each of the regular events (the handicap and 
double-target events not included), at the Pacific Coast 
Handicap tournament, scheduled for Portland, Ore., 
Aug. 27-29. This will make a grand total of $1,500 added 
monev at this tournament.

At a meeting of shooters, held Tuesday n : ght, Aug. 
6 , at Birmingham Gun Club, it was determined to have 
a special car for those from Alabama and sister States 
who intend to take in the $5,000 Denver handicap. John 
Warren and Bob Skinner were appointed a committee. 
Arrangements were made for a special car to leave Bir¬ 
mingham on Saturday, Sept. 7, at noon, going through 
without change to Denver, arriving there Monday morn¬ 
ing, Sept. 9, the shoot beginning Sept. 10. Any shooter 
desiring to go with the Birmingham crowd should make 
reservations early. 
V 
Secretary Bernard Elsesser, of the Westy Hogans, an¬ 
nounces that he has received an unusually large number 
of requests for programs from shooters who have never 
attended a Westy Hogan tournament. This, he writes, is 
a good sign for a record-breaking attendance at this 
year’s shoot, which will be held at Venice Park, Atlantic 
City, N. J., Sept. 17-21. The Hogans are predicting that 
the number of entries this year wiil reach the 400 mark. 
This prediction is based on the attendance figures of 
each Westy Hogan tournament, and which show a steady 
increase each year. The first year, 1907, there were G3 
entries; in 1908, there were 104; in 1909, 178; in 1910, 233, 
and in 1911, 309.

Charlottesville Tournament. 
Charlottesville, Va., Aug. 8.— The tenth annual 
shoot of the Charlottesville University of Virginia Gun 
Club was held on Aug. 7. The attendance was gratify¬ 
ing, forty-two shooters participating in the various 
events, of whom thirty two shot through the entire pro¬ 
gram of 200 targets. During the day, 8,470 targets were 
thrown from one trap in the program events, including 
the special handicap event of 25 targets, and this does 
not include those used in shooting off the ties. It 
seems to the writer that this is almost a record for one 
trap. The shooters were mostly veterans in the game 
and from the moment the first gun was fired until the 
last target was thrown, things moved with clock-like 
precision. 
Mr. George L. Bruffey was the manager, as he has 
been of the nine other shoots held in the years that are 
gone, and this one added additional luster to his repu¬ 
tation as a manager of tournaments. No complaints 
were heard; every one was treated fairly; the arrange¬ 
ments for the comfort of those taking part and the 
visitors were perfect. The day was ideal and c m- 
aitions perfect, except for a fluky wind, which ever and 
anon played havee with the scores. 
The first, sixth, seventh, eighth and tenth events were 
for six prizes, the others contained five each, most of 
which were cash prizes, there being $91 distributed 
among the ten events. This seemed to please the shoot¬ 
ers, who do not enthuse when shooting for a con¬ 
glomerate mass of merchandise stuff. However, the 
merchandise prizes on this program were above ’the 
average, and well worth carrying home. 
E. M. Daniel, of Lynchburg, was high amateur, and 
was high over all, scoring 194 out of 200. Dr W. \V. 
Dennis, of the same place, and S. P. Sillings, of Staun¬ 
ton, were next in line with 183. Baskerville was high 
professional, scoring 183. 
The special handicap event at 25 targets attracted the 
attention of the visitors, and was a warmly contested 
affair. First in this event was won by Miles Taylor, 
of the Analostan Gun Club, of Washington, D. C., who 
v ent straight from 18yds. He was closely pressed by, 
F, M. Daniel, who shot from 20yds. and scored 24- 
Fisher and Battle, also shooting from lSyds., scored 24 
each. Baskerville 
and 
Goodloe, professionals, 
also 
scored 24.

alone on 23; the 22 s shot off the tie miss-and-out. and 
W. R. Anderson won: the fifth, sixth and seventh ties 
"ere shot off, and Harry George won the fifth; Dr. 
Rea won the sixth, and James M. Coyner won the 
seventh. . . 
Lunch was served by the ladies of the Emscopal 
Church. It was a fine spread and was well natronized. 
Miss Bocock, who was assisting in feeding the hungry, 
found time to sing several negro songs. Her imita¬ 
tion of their dialect was perfect and added much to 
the enioyment of the occasion. 
Dick’ Snow was the official scorer, and his work 
was flawless. He is an old shooter, and did not let the 
scores get “balled up.” 
George W. Perk, Tr., of the Analostan Gun Club, of 
Washington, D. C., who by the way is the origmal of 
“Peck’s Bad Bov.” was on the firing line, and after it 
was over was heard to remark, “That CharWtesville 
cou’d borrow anything he had, for he had $ 1,000 worth 
fun.” . 
Dr W. W. Dennis was in fine form and gave 
Shooting” P. Sillings a hot race for second high av- 
age, and he might have beaten his Staunton friend if 
had not been for a “punk” load The representa- 
•es from Lvnchburg were surely a shooting crowd and 
ill be heard from at the State shoot. 
Th» Virginia State shoot will be held at Lynchburg 
is vear It will open on Labor Day. as is the custom 
wavs The boys say they have everything in apple pie 
■der for their ’ visitors, and that there will be about 
00 in cash and prizes to be contested for by the 
embers of the association. , A .... 
Many of those who attended tins shoot will be on 
ind at the registered shoot to be given by F. L. 
ook. at Mt. Elliot, the latter part of this month 
fatcii out for the programs. Cook will give a good 
loot. He is a prince when it comes to entertaining, 
.. tn this one.
