THE 
■a'W 
Cincinnati Gun Club. 
The advance guard of shooters entered for the Post 
Season tournament, reached Cincinnati on the 12th. and 
a number were at the grounds on that day and the 13th, 
anxious for a little practice on the grounds where they 
all hope to break records. Among the prominent ama¬ 
teur and professional experts who took part in the events 
on those days were Fred. G. Bills, of Chicago, who won 
high professional average on singles and doubles (1,000 
targets) at both of the previous Post Season tournaments; 
C. B. Eaton, Fayette, Mo., winner of the Preliminary 
Handicap at the Grand American last year; R. H. Bruns, 
of Brookville, Jnd., who cleaned up everything at the 
big Denver shoot this fall; Lester German, Aberdeen, 
Md., one of the best professional shots in the country; 
Mrs. Topperwein, of San Antonio, Tex., the expert with 
rifle and shotgun, and the only woman trapshooter who 
has qualified for this tournament. Mr. Topperwein is 
also here, and at the conclusion of this tournament will 
visit the N. C. R. Gun Club at Dayton. ().. where he 
and his wife will give an exhibition of fancy shooting 
w’ith rifle, revolver and shotgun. H. W. Kahler, Phila¬ 
delphia, Pa., one of the top-notch amateurs of the coun¬ 
try; E. M. Daniels, Lynchburg, Va.; J. Hightower, 
Americus, Ga.: J. R. Taylor, Columbus, O., high pro¬ 
fessional for 1911; S. A. Huntley, Sioux City, la., and 
Guy Ward, Birmingham, Ala., who is booked for a 
place near the top when the returns are all in. Fred 
Gilbert, Spirit Lake, Ta. (Chief Heap Talk), is here, but 
put in his time “seeing Cincinnati,” as a day’s practice, 
more or less, cuts no figure with him; he can deliver 
the goods just the same. 
The events on the 13th were at 25 targets each, E. 
M. Daniels leading the bunch with 94. Mrs. Topper¬ 
wein did nice work also, breaking 47 in the last 50 and 
going out with 91, second high. Bruns and German tied 
on 49 out of 50. ITarrv Kahler also shot in fine form, 
scoring 48 out of 50, a 96 per cent. gait. H. D. Freeman, 
Atlanta, Ga., took part in the events on the 12th. break¬ 
ing close to 90 per cent., which is some below his aver¬ 
age. Shooting at doubles on the same day, he tied with 
J. R. Taylor on 85 out of 50 pairs; Guy Ward was high 
with 87. and J. S. Day, Cincinnati, second, with 80. On 
the 13th several events at doubles were shot. Day lead¬ 
ing with 85 out of 49 pairs; Kahler second with 80, and 
German third with 70 out of 37 pairs.

Wapakoneta Gun Club. 
Wapakoneta, O., Oct. 3.—Fourth annual tournament 
of ' Wapakoneta Gun Club was held here to-day with 
thirty entrants, including four pink sheet shooters. Lon 
Fisher had his “gaze of concentration” with him, getting 
142 out of 150, taking high gun honors, and the more 
substantial substance generally associated therewith. 
George Kistler coaxed second gold and glory with 138, 
which left place for Ben Downs with just one error 
more. B. Call took top pro.-for-targets-only satisfaction 
and had only to "kill” 139 tc do it. “Snuff” Taylor and 
Bill Chamberlin divided second smoke with 137. Chas. 
E. Zint behaved as a properly behaved secretary should 
do, thereby helping materially in the success of the 
tournament. Scores:
