The registered tournament held on Sept. 12 and 13 
was pulled off successfully, although the small attendance 
of local shooters was a great disappointment to the 
club’s officers, who had looked to them for a far more 
generous support. During the two days there were 
almost forty shooters present, twenty-eight shooting 
through the entire program. Of these, six were pro¬ 
fessionals. The program was the regular one of ten 15- 
target events, and there was an extra event at 10 singles 
and 5 pairs each day. Optional 75-cent sweeps were pro¬ 
vided in each event, and a $2.50 sweep in each day’s 
regular program, but none of the contestants seemed to 
care for this opportunity to annex a little wealth. The 
weather, barring a trifle too much wind on Thursday, 
was fine, a delightful change from the heat of the pre¬ 
vious few days. Len Shepard and R.' Ward acted as 
referees and scorers. The office was in charge of L. J. 
Squier. Supt. Arthur Gambell watched the progress of 
the shoot from a wheel-chair on the house veranda. It 
will be several weeks yet before he will be able to get 
around. 
The dinners served by Mrs. Gambell were pleasant 
reminder of the old St. Bernard days, and were enjoyed 
by all.' 
The grounds were open for practice on Wednesday, 
but only half a dozen shooters availed themselves of 
the opportunity, and they only shot at a few targets. 
The grounds have been put in fine condition, new traps 
installed and everything in readiness for the Post- 
Season tournament next month. 
Fir»l Day. 
Thursday, the opening day, was pleasant. Thirty- 
three shooters registered, and twenty-nine shot through 
the program. An unsteady, incoming wind made the 
targets exceedingly difficult, and scores fell below the 
average of most of the contestants. High gun honors 
for the day went to F. C. Koch, an amateur from 
Phillipsburg, O., who broke 144. J. A. Smith, South 
Solon, O., was second with 142. and F. M. Edwards, 
Columbus, and Lon Fisher, Huntsville, O., divided 
third on 137. 
J. R. Taylor led the professionals with 143, C. O. Le 
Compte 138 and W. Henderson 137. 
At the close of the fifth event, J. A. Smith was the 
favorite with only 2 down in 75. He kept up his good 
work until the ninth event, when he struck a snag and 
lost Iris chance for high average. 
The special event had twenty entries, Cain winning 
first money on 24, his lost target being in one of the 
pairs. His score was tied by Henderson, a professional. 
Smith, Hill, Edwards and Fisher divided second on 22 
each. Shattuck and Lallance took third new shooters 
and gives promise of making good. His score of nearly 
85 per cent, on the hard targets trapped to-day being 
an excellent showing. The program was started at 10:20 
and was finished at 4:15. A recess was taken at noon 
for dinner. The scores in the regular program follow:

Second Day. 
Friday was partly cloudy, and the return of the heat 
wave made it uncomfortable. Two or three new men 
replaced those who left Thursday night, so that the 
number of entrants remained the same. Shooting be¬ 
gan at 9:30, the events being finished at 4 o’clock. At 
noon a recess was taken for dinner, and in the afternoon 
two traps were used, Len Shepard and R. Ward referee¬ 
ing and scoring at Nos. 1 and 2 respectively. ■ John R. 
Taylor was the star performer, a role often filled by him. 
He went out with a total of 149. His first 77 targets 
were broken straight, and this, with the last 60 of the 
first day. gave him a continuous run of 137, and entitled 
him to a Du Pont professional long run trophy. After 
missing his third target in the sixth event, he ran 87 
more, including the 15 singles in the special event. R. O. 
Heikes was second high professional with 144, and Guy 
Ward third with 141. High amateur average was again 
captured by F. C. Koch with 145. His first 54 targets 
were broken, and with the last 48 of the first day, gave 
him a run of 102 and won him a Du Pont amateur long 
run medal Lon Fisher was second with 142, and F. M. 
Edwards third with 140. The latter was tied with Koch 
at the end of the fifth event, getting his first 71 straight, 
and scoring 73 out of 75, but failed to keep up his gait 
in the last half. High professional average for the two 
days went to J. R.__Taylor with 292. R. O. Heikes 278, 
C. O. Le Compte 276. With the exception of first place, 
the amateurs had it over the pros, F. C. Koch being 
first with 289. J. A. Smith 281, and Lon Fisher 279. 
Several of the shooters left early to get the boat for 
Louisville on their way to the Indiana State shoot at 
Evansville. Among them were R. O. Heikes, J. R. 
Taylor, Guy Ward, Lon Fisher and C. D. Coburn. That 
interest in trapshooting is not quite extinct here was 
proven by the good attendance of spectators, the fair 
sex being well represented. 
The money-back system worked out satisfactorily for 
both the topnotchers and the poorer shots. Losses were 
paid in sums ranging from 80 cents to $15.45, and the 
high average moneys were worth contesting for. 
The special event had sixteen entries. First money 
was divided by Hill, Cain, Edwards and Fisher on 23; 
Schreck got second on.22; Coburn, Smith and Culbert¬ 
son third on 20; Welch fourth on IS.
