FOREST AND STREAM 
[Sept. 2, 1911. 
Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
An impromptu live-bird shoot was held at the grounds 
on Aug. 23, in which seven of the wing shots of Cin¬ 
cinnati and vicinity narticipated. The weather con¬ 
ditions were good. The birds were strong fliers, and 
among the lot were a few exceptionally fast ones. The 
object of the shoot was principally to get in trim for 
the coming shoot at Ryland, Ky., on Labor Day. Harry 
Hessler. a member of the recently organized gun club 
at Mt. Healthy, O., made his debut in the live-bird game 
at this shoot, and tied for high gun with George Walker, 
one of the best pigeon shots in this section, on a perfect 
score of 20, a performance worthy of special mention. 
George Dameron, the club’s star target shot, also put 
up nice work, missing but one bird in the two events, 
and tying the leaders in the first event. Payne had the 
hard luck to lose two birds dead out of bounds; both 
were hard hit, and barely got over the boundary. The 
club officials have not decided as yet in regard to hold¬ 
ing monthly live-bird events during the fall and winter, 
but will probably do so if there seems sufficient in the 
game to warrant it. 
Event No. 1, 10 birds, $5 entrance, divided, 50, 30 and 
20 per cent.: 
Walker 31yds., . 10 Schreck, 30 . 9 
H Hessler. 28. 10 Robbins, 28 . 6 
Dameron, 30. 10 Gould, 30 . 8 
Payne, 32 . 9 
Event No. 2. same as No. 1: 
Walker, 32 . 10 Payne, 32 . 8 
Hessler, 30 . 10 Gould, 31 . 8 
Dameron, 31 . 9 Robbins, 28 . 7 
Schreck, 31 . 9 
There was a very fair attendance at the shoot on 
Aug. 26._ The weather was good for target shooting, 
there being no wind to affect the flight of the targets. 
H. R. Irwin was high man with 95 out of 100. It is 
evident that he has solved the gun problem so far as 
he is concerned, for he has been doing good work with 
his latest weapon for several weeks. Ed. Frohliger, of 
the Hyde Park Gun Club, took part in a shoot to-day 
for the first time since his club quit its weekly meet¬ 
ings, and did some very good work, considering his lack 
of practice. 
The next money-back shoot of the club will be held 
on Sept. 3. A large attendance is expected, as the club 
has added a special event to the regular program, which 
will prove interesting.

The attendance at the shoot on Aug. 7 fell off a little, 
as the day was extremely hot, with a high degree of 
humidity, and no wind to temper the heat in the slight¬ 
est. Only two 25-target events were shot, Schreck mak¬ 
ing high score of 45. Luverne did not succeed in get¬ 
ting the best of his old antagonist, Schreck, though he 
game him a good run in the last event. Supt. Taggart 
discovered a few pigeons in the loft, and an event at 6 
birds each was shot as a wind-up to the afternoon. In 
this event Schreck came out the winner with a perfect 
score. The birds were a fair lot, with three or four 
screamers, the winner getting his share of the fast ones. 
At the shoot on the day before, Lehman and Irwin shot 
a few live birds, the former killing 14 out of 15, and the 
latter 6 out of 10. 
The next money-back shoot will be held on Sept. 3, 
and the club will introduce a new feature, hoping to 
bring out a iarger number of the local amateurs. 
The date for the ten-man team match with the N. C. R. 
Club, of Dayton, ()., will be settled in a few days, and 
will probably be about the middle of September. The 
first match will take place on the latter’s grounds, and 
the return match, which will soon follow, on the 
grounds of the Northern. Several of the members will 
take part in the series of live-bird shoots, which begin 
on Labor Day. at Ryland, Ky., on the grounds of the 
Crystal Lake Gun Club.

Berks County League. 
The shoot of the Berks County League was held on 
the grounds of the South End Gun Club at Reading, 
Pa. The rain in the early morning kept some of the 
shooters at home. Excellent scores were made through¬ 
out the day, due greatly to Manager L. R. Lewis, by 
tile courtesy of the Du Pont Powder Co. Uncle Tom 
kept his eye moving. A. A. Fink was on the grounds 
early — a grand promoter and rendered all possible as¬ 
sistance. 
L. VV. Cumberland astonished the shooters and spec¬ 
tators when he smashed his 125 straight. Well done, 
Lloyd, 147 out of 150. 
Apgar was second professional with 144. 
Messrs. Fay and Lawrence are new-comers, but made 
a lot of friends. 
A. S. Heil, of Allentown, was high amateur with 146 
out of 150. This won the Ballistite silver cup, emblem¬ 
atic of this county’s championship. You know A1 is a 
butcher, and is used to taking the “whole hog.” He 
also scored 4S out of 50 in the team race. 
Lockwood W. Worden, of Harrisburg, was second 
high amateur with 144. 
Schlicher and Ed Adams tied for third amateur with 
142. 
The team race was a feature. Ten teams entered, a 
total. of thirty shooters. The race was won by the 
Lehigh Valiev Shooting Association team—Heil 48, 
Schlicher 49, Englert 50, a total of 147 out of 150. In¬ 
dependence of Philadelphia, was second with 142 out of 
150. Harry Kahler and John Englert broke straight in 
the team race. Here Harry established another Western 
record. 
Neaf cast a hearty smile when John broke straight in 
the team race. No hair on this cotton-tail. 
Rader, of Newmanstown, made the boys take notice 
with 138 out of 150. 
Gerhart was in excellent form, scoring 136, which 
put him one target ahead of Melchior, one of the pro¬ 
moters. 
Ed. Adams had a clear conscience to-day, listing third 
amateur, tying Schlicher. 
Bitterling was in good form. His chum, Charlie, broke 
straight in the first event, but broke down, scoring only 
108. 
Business prevented Lee Wertz from following the 
game closely, thus reaching’ the 134 tide. 
Yocum scored 135 out of 150. This is excellent shoot¬ 
ing with one eye. 
Harry Ball fell shy to-day, slightly below his average. 
“Butch” did not show up with the Allentown bunch. 
Through the death of Mrs. Yocum, Lewis’ associate, 
Ludwig, could not be present, as the Post-office De¬ 
partment called him for extra duty vice D. M. Yocum. 
Two traps were in use and 8500 targets were thrown. 
This is a new era for the county championship with a 
total of forty-six entries. 
Many of the boys who shot to-day will figure in the 
Westy Hogan.

Atlantic City Gun Club. 
Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 26. —The week-end shoot 
of the Atlantic City Gun Club was honored with the 
presence of C. G. Westcoat, the popular expert amateur 
of Leesburg, Fla., and Mr. Kiplinger, of the Peters 
Cartridge Co. The shoot was held on the famous 
Young’s Pier, the home of the Westy Hogans, and, I 
might add, that all our Friday shoots will be held there 
until after the Westy Hogan event is shot, and we will 
be glad to have any visiting trapshooters come out with 
11 s and get some practice for the big event. In view of 
the fact that a strong wind was blowing and a shower 
coming up, the scores made w'ere more than creditable, 
and this practice is just w'hat is needed to line up for 
some of the Westy Hogan prizes. Scores:

This is a race of 200 targets, and the contest is to be 
finished next week. It looks like anyone’s win, as out of 
the 150 shot at, Plum is down 20 with 2 handicap; 
Powers 17, no handicap; Sheppard, 18, 2 handicap; 
Cook 14, no handicap; Westcoat 14, with 2 handicap. 
It is hoped there will be a shoot-off or two before the 
cup is won. 
Again we invite you all to come down and shoot with 
us if you would like a little practice before Westy 
arrives, Sept. 19. Secretary.

Newton, N. J.. Aug. 26.—Twenty-five enthusiastic 
amateurs faced the traps at the club here to-day. The 
star feature was the five-man team race between Great 
Meadows and Newton, in which the home team won by 
18 targets—228 to 210 out of 250. Connie and Calm, of 
Newton, shot remarkably well, each getting 48 out of 
his 50. In the singles at 125 birds, E. J. Cahn was high 
gun with 122, after some exceedingly pretty shooting. 
L. Connie shot cleverly into second place with 120, be¬ 
ing one up on G. Freeman, who took third with five 
to spare. 
The tournament was well attended by non-shooting 
visitors and was a tremendous success in every way.
