Chicago Interurban League. 
^ HIC Ar,o, Ill., Sept. 30.—The sixth shoot of the 
Chicago Interurban League of Gun Clubs took place 
on the grounds of the Chicago Gun Club. This was 
scheduled to be held at Long Lake, but was held on 
the grounds of the Chicago Gun Club instead. Seventy- 
five shooters made their appearance. The day was very 
raw and chilly; otherwise the attendance no doubt 
would have been a great deal larger. 
t ^ he T ^ or first place between the Chicago and 
,ng Lake gun clubs was very interesting, although 
when the scores were counted it was a surprise to all to 
find that the South Shore Country Club, with only 
seven members present, carried off the high score, and 
the cnicago Gun Club had to be satisfied with second 
place with —8. The .National Gun Club just nosed out 
the Long Lake Club for third place with 227. 
TT T , he '^dividual high scores were made’ by Ernest 
Heath and J. A. laggart, with 49 each.

Middle Wes< Amafeur Championship. 
The second annual Middle West Amateur Cham¬ 
pionship at targets will be held on the grounds of the 
Chicago Gun Club, 123d street and Michigan avenue, 
Oct. 20. Shooting will begin at 10:30 A. M. and close 
at 12 noon. Any shooter arriving after that time will not 
be eligible to shoot. All shooters desiring to enter will 
shoot in what is known as the qualifying round. This 
event will be at 25 targets per man. 'All 16yds. There 
will be no entrance fee, all shooters shooting in the 
championship and consolation events will pay 2 cents 
for each target shot. All practice events targets 1 cent. 
As an example, if there are one hundred shooters com¬ 
peting, the 64 high guns will qualify. If 50 to 75 shoot¬ 
ers compete, then the 32 high guns will qualify. The 
shooters who have qualified will then draw a number and 
the name is entered on the bulletin board opposite said 
number. The shooters having drawn No. 1 and No. 2 
are then paired. No. 3 and No. 4 are paired, and so on 
down the list. The next round is at 25 targets: No. 1 
will shoot No. 2, the winner of this match is still in the 
running, the defeated one is out; for instance, 64 shoot¬ 
ers have qualified; after the first round 32 will have won; 
the next round will have 16, the next 8, the next 4, and 
the final round will have 2. Those two will then shoot 
at 25 Targets, the winner to be the champion. All ties 
in matches will be shot off at 10 targets. All shooters 
who did not qualify will be paired same as in the cham¬ 
pionship event and will contest for the consolation 
prizes, as an example: say there are 100 shooters, 64 
will qualify, the next 32 high guns will shoot in the con¬ 
solation event, and the four low guns will be dropped, 
as either the figures 16, 32 or 64 must be used to make 
the pairings work out even down to the last two men. 
One cent per target shot at will be set aside as prize 
money for the winners; $25 will be deducted from this 
fund to purchase a suitable trophy for the winner of the 
championship. Prize money will be divided as follows: 
60 per cent, for the qualifying round, and 40 per cent, 
for the consolation event. This will go to the winners, 
as follows: 50 per cent, to first, 25 to second, 12% to 
third and 12% to fourth. There will be an optional 
sweep on the first 25 targets shot at (the qualifying 
round), entrance $2; percentage division; four moneys, 
40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent.

Guernsey Gun Club. 
Guernsey, la., Sept. 25.—As advertised, we had a 
one-day shoot to-day. Well, it was the worst day we 
ever experienced to try and shoot targets. Setting in a 
marsh in a bunch of bulrushes and the water freezing 
on your boots and getting a shot at mallards once in 
two hours would be play compared with the day here—a 
cold northwest wind blowing at a 50-mile clip, a little 
rain mixed in and cold enough to make a fellow’s teeth 
crack; hence the poor scores. 
Considering the weather, we had a very good bunch 
of shooters. Mr. N. Muncy, of Iowa City, was high 
gun with 176 out of 200. The good-natured Fitzsimmons, 
from Chicago, was second high with 173; A. Grabin, of 
Guernsey, was third with 169. R. T. Jeffrey, of Ames, 
was with us, but owing to sickness this summer he has 
done very little target shooting. R. L. Border, of 
Victor, was a close fourth with 166. 
We will give a local shoot Thanksgiving Day. 
Everybody invited.

Of the many who tried for the Field cup but six 
met the requirements of the handicap, which called for 
600 targets in strings of 50, with at least 500 to qualify. 
The six finished in a bunch in the order given below. 
In the beginning, the allowance to each entrant was 
based upon his average for the four months just passed, 
each being given enough to make 50, which was the 
limit to be reached, regardless of the number broken. 
Thereafter the allowance changed every four weeks, and 
in changing, only the scores made in that time w'ere 
considered. The vagaries of the system would be 
amusing but for the unfairness of it all, and tile invita¬ 
tion it offers to one who will accept it.

to-day. In practice at 16yds. he broke a little better 
than 96 per cent., while Britton got 94, Hofer 92, Alig 
and Wilson 90 each. Shooting for spoons, Edmonson

Omaha Gun Club. 
Omaha, Neb., Oct. 2.—E. W. Varner worked both 
days here, and showed up at the end of the second with 
high average tucked away in his shell bag; 375 out of 
400 was what he made his win on. Albert Olsen missed 
just two more than Varner, so had to be happy one 
rung lower on the shooting ladder. W. D. Townsend and 
Charley Gammon split up third place with 368. Ed. 
O’Brien showed ’em how high a pro. could go and still 
not get ’em all. He broke 383 out of 500.
