E. Reed Shaner, manager department of records, the 
Interstate Association, informs us that the scores made 
at the Spooner Gun Club’s registered tournament, held 
at Spooner, Minn., July 30, will not be counted in the 
official records of the Interstate Association owing to 
the contestants shooting under a distance handicap.

Mr. E. Reed Shaner, Manager Department of Rec¬ 
ords, writes: “In accordance with a resolution adopted 
by the Interstate Association at its annual meeting in 
1910, I beg to advise you that Mr. Frank Campbell, 
Waukee, la., was the winner of the seventh Western 
Handicap, shot at Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 16, 1912. Mr. 
Campbell used a Parker gun, Remington Arms-U. M. C. 
shells.”

The tournament, Aug. 27, 28 and 29, of Maryland 
State Sportsmen’s Association, at Prospect Park, Balti¬ 
more, will be one of the big events of the year, unless 
all signs are bogus. Last year 105 shooters took part; 
this year probably 150 will come nearer the number. 
Linn Worthington has it in charge, which in itself is 
sufficient evidence that nothing will be overlooked in the 
“make it a go” department.

Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
The registered tournament, held on Aug. 15 and 16, 
was one of the best ever given by the club. The suc¬ 
cess of the affair was due to the efficient work of Messrs. 
G. W. Dameron and H. R. Irwin, both of whom put in 
much lime and energy in the preliminary arrangements, 
and followed this up by unremitting attention to all de¬ 
tails making for the welcome and comfort of those 
attending. 
The club was favored with ideal weather on both days, 
and scores were good in consequence. The office work 
was looked after by Luther J. Squier, and was, of course 
kept up to the minute, and settlement made in short 
order after the last event of Friday. Len Shepard per¬ 
formed the duties of referee and scorer to everyone’s 
entire satisfaction. A feature of the shoot was the ex¬ 
cellent dinner served in the club house by Mrs. Taggart, 
wife of the superintendent, and this was thoroughly en¬ 
joyed by all the shooters. The local shooters turned out 
fairly well. 
The program u-as the regular one of ten 15-target 
events, entrance $1.40 in each; money divided Rose 
system, 5, 3, 2, 1. An extra 25-target handicap event for 
a trophy was added each day, entrance $1.25. Handicaps 
were based on score made each day, in regular program; 
128 or less, 16yds.; 129 to 132, at 17yds.; 133 to 136, at 
ISyds.; 137 to 141, at 19yds.; 142 to 145, at 20yds., and 
146 to 149, at 21yds. Any shooter breaking ’em all was 
required to shoot from the roof of the club house. The 
only thing occurring to mar the occasion was an acci¬ 
dent to Arthur Gambell, superintendent of the Cincin¬ 
nati Gun Club, who on Thursday afternoon fell, break¬ 
ing his leg. His many friends among the trapshooters 
will extend their sympathy to him, and their wishes for 
a speedy recovery. 
First Day. 
Thursday found Superintent Taggart with grounds 
and traps in first class condition, and everything ready. 
During the day 6015 targets were trapped. Thirty-seven 
shooters faced the traps, all but four going through 
the program. The first was not started until nearly 
11 o’clock, and the delay caused by the accident made a 
late finish, the special not being decided until 6 o’clock. 
Rolla O. Heikes, professional, was the star performer, 
missing but 2 targets—one in the third and one in the 
last event, and making a run of 106 straight. R. L. 
Trimble and J. S. Day, tied for second high profes¬ 
sional place on 141. 
The amateurs put it all over the experts to some 
extent, high man being B. S. Cooper with 114, Geo. 
Volk 143, and R. II. Bruns 142. Geo. Dameron had one 
or two bad events, which kept his total down, but he 
made the second long run with 67. Cooper got 64 straight 
and J. N. Shropshire 60. The special event had thirty- 
three entries, and resulted in a tie on 25 between Dr. 
Wm. Shattuck and Ed Cain. In second place were W. 
G. Green, Sam Leever, L. Bittner and J. S. Day with 
24 each. The last-named is a professional and was 
shooting for targets only. When the men lined up for 
the shoot-off, it was so near dusk that the targets were 
almost invisible. This was too much of a handicap for 
Cain, and he fell down badly, losing by a score of 15 
to 21. 
Second Day. 
Conditions were perfect. Attendance fell off a little, 
thirty shooters only putting in an appearance and twenty- 
eight shot through. Later in the day a few others ar¬ 
rived and entered for the special. 
The first event was started promptly at 9 o’clock, and 
at 2:30 the program was finished. By 3, Luther had 
everyone paid off, and bid the crow-d good-by, as he 
was to start for Montreal. From there he will step over 
to Cedar Point, O., for the Indian shoot. The special 
event was finished about 4, and then the late-comers had 
their turn, and kept things going until dusk. Roundy 
Chamberlain blew in this afternoon on his way home, 
and put up a perfect score in the special event. This 
was amateur day, only one professional (Pop Ileikes) 
finishing in their class. Dr. F. M. Edwards and Geo. 
Yolk tied for high gun on 146; then came Pop with 145; 
T. E. Donald was third high man and second amateur 
with 144, and the next place was filled by R. H. Bruns 
and W. G. Green with 143. Edwards and Yolk each 
went straight in four consecutive events, making the 
best runs of the day. First prize in the special event 
was won by E. Bittner on 24; J. S. Day tied him, but 
was not eligible to win. Second prize was won bv M. II. 
Johnson, after shooting off a tie on 23 with Shattuck, 
Cain, Sunderbruch and Gould. In the shoot-off, he 
broke 24. The banner squad of the tournament was 
No. 3, which scored 74 out of 75 in the eighth event— 
Ileikes, Edmondson, Cain and Volk, 15 each, and Shat¬ 
tuck carried the guns to the house for missing one. In 
the ninth event the same squad dropped but 2 targets, 
Heikes being the guilty party. In the special event 
Sunderbruch had hard luck, missing his 22d and 25th 
targets and losing a chance to win or get in a tie for 
first. In the regular and special events, 5060 targets 
were trapped. R. O. Heikes made high score for the two 
days, 293 out of 300, or 97.66 per cent.
