[Sept. 9, 1911. 
Ye Oak Meadow Gun Club. 
Sandusky, O.—The readers of your most interesting 
paper would perhaps be interested in our new gun club. 
Through the efforts of Ira C. Krupp, a few of his most 
intimate friends, about the first of February, 1911. became 
very much interested in trapshooting, and on the farm 
owned by Mr. Krupp erected a trap house and pur¬ 
chased an Ideal trap. It was not very long before 
others became very much interested, among whom were 
some of the members of the old Sandusky Gun Club. 
The interest in trapshooting was greatly augmented by 
E. H. Marsh, who put up a silver cup to be shot for. 
This cup was won by B. E. Taylor. Shortly following, 
Donahue Hardware Co. put up a silver cup, and the 
interest in this was very great, and was won by John 
Diest. The third cup was presented to the club by Fred 
Zinn, and is being shot for at the present time, the 
following rules and conditions governing same: 
First—Interstate trapshooting rules to govern. 
Second—Any member of Ye Oak Meadow Gun Club in 
good standing may contest for trophy. 
Third—Contest to be at 500 targets, divided into twenty 
25-target events. Contestant to select his twelve best 
scores to count. Total, 300 targets. 
Fourth—Two events, 25 targets, to be contested each 
week at regular club shoot. 
Fifth—If a contestant fails to attend a regular shoot 
he will not be allowed to shoot up back scores. 
Sixth—Any contestant who has shot in twelve or more 
events and failed to score 20 targets or more in any 
single event will be permitted to shoot at 25 additional 
targets on last day of contest, and the number scored 
may be added to the total of his best twelve scores. 
Seventh—Handicap.—All shooters will contest at first 
event from 16yds. The handicap for all subsequent events 
will be based on the score of contestant in the last 
event he shot in. based on the following: A score of 
25 or 24, 20yds.; 23 or 22, 19yds.; 21, 18yds.; 20, 17yds.; 
any score under 20, 16yds. 
Eighth—Any contestant who willfully drops targets to 
secure a better handicap at next shoot will be barred 
from further competition. 
Ninth—In case of a tie, the shooters will shoot off 
the tie at 50 additional targets at the same handicap 
distance in which they competed in last event. 
Tenth—The trophy to become the personal property 
of the winner. 
Eleventh—In case of any dispute, the secretary’s de¬ 
cision to be final. 
On June 3 the club with a membership of twenty-two 
joined the State Association and sent to the Grand 
American at Columbus six representatives of Ye Oak- 
Meadow Gun Club, five of whom entered the Grand 
American; all amateurs, some of whom had never shot at 
the trap before February of this year. The folowing scores 
were made: Dr. Parker 92, Ira Krupp 91, Webb Sadler 
91, August Kuebler 89, Fred Zinn 80. 
Since our slogan is “Sandusky and Cedar Point for 
the Grand American for 1912,” we are very sure that 
when the State shooters, who were with us yesterday, 
after seeing the beautiful grounds which we have pre¬ 
pared, and the beautiful lake city to which they would 
come to attend the Grand American shoot, we feel confi¬ 
dent that they would be with us in boosting Sandusky 
and Cedar Point for the Grand American, 1912. 
To prove our enthusiasm in this sport, our records 
show that since Feb. 1, we have shot over 60,000 shells. 
Our regular club shoots are held every Saturday after¬ 
noon, and are attended by nearly every member of the 
club, sickness being about the only excuse why a mem¬ 
ber is not there. 
The club has been honored several times this season 
hv visits from the following professionals: Tohn R. 
Taylor, R. O. Heikes, Cy Young, L. G. Squier, W. R 
t hamberlam, C. A. North, Bert Call, Ted Barsto and 
B. Clancy, and we extend to our neighboring clubs and 
friends a cordial invitation to be with us on any 
Saturday. 
Friday, Sept. 1.—The up and comingness of the 
gun club here again was demonstrated today in the fact 
that eighty-two shooters took part in this one-day 
registered tournament. The weather was good, the crowd 
large and enthusiastic and the shooters highly satisfied 
with the expert manner in which the tournament was 
handled. A. Madison was high amateur, breaking 143 
out of his 150 tries. H. Haley made one less for second, 
while W. Dow Wagner and Lon Fisher shared third 
honors with 141. 
Way up professional was B. Call, who broke straight 
seven times and lost one bird in each of the other 
three. His score of 147 showed remarkable shooting and 
his score was deserted. Next to him came W. R. 
Chamberlain with 142, and I.. J. Squier in third place 
with one less. Another of those good Squier score 
sheets pleased our compositors.

W. A. Magoon,

Pinehurst Gun Club. 
The positive announcement that Luther Squier, Du 
Pont’s expert, will manage the fifth annual midwinter 
handicap trapshooting tournament at Pinehurst, N. C., 
Jan. 24, 25, 26 and 27, gives added prominence to this 
event, for his reputation is international. No man on 
either side of the two seas knows the rules of “the 
game” better than does Mr. Squier, and rare tact makes 
it possible for him to enforce as few other managers 
have ever enforced. In the vernacular of the firing 
squad, “Squier is white to the core, and plays the 
square above the table from deal to dividend.” No 
detail escapes his observant eye, and he possesses the 
rare faculty of securing results, not explanations from 
those under him. Always the contestant receives care¬ 
ful attention, and positive answers. If No. 1 insists 
that the left-quarter bird is low and No. 2 declares it is 
high, Luther immediately sets them right. Unlike the 
dispute over the lobster’s color, both men cannot be 
correct, and Mr. Squier avoids the middle road. He is 
never negative, because he knows, and the absolute 
accuracy of his knowledge carries immediate conviction. 
While the dates set are Jan. 24, 25, 26 and 27, the 
event will round out the full week, many gathering 
for practice during the week previous. For both Jan. 
24 and 25, ten 20-target sweeps are scheduled; the 100- 
target preliminary on the 26th, preceded by five 20- 
targets sweeps, and the same program preceding the 
handicap on the 27th. In all events there will be 
additional optmnal sweepstakes, the Squier money-back 
system being in effect.

Downs Gun Club. 
Downs, Kans., Sept. 1.—We had a good shoot here 
to-day and are a little proud of the fact that one of our 
amateurs, J. F. Caldwell, won out over the professionals. 
His _ score was 146 out of 150, which records mighty 
consistent shooting. He broke straight in all his events 
except 2, 3 and 4. A. W. Huff was only one behind 
with 145, followed by W. H. Charles with 140. This 
little club deserves great credit for three amateur scores 
such as these gentlemen made. Ed. O’Brien was high 
professional with 143, with Geo. Lewis next with 141.

Book Exchange. 
No doubt there are many of our readers who possess 
old books, and others who would be glad to possess 
them, and we are, therefore, making a special place in 
our advertising columns, which may be called a book 
exchange, where those who wish to purchase, sell or ex¬ 
change second-hand books may ask for what they need, 
or offer what they have. 
California Schuetzen Club. 
Chris Meyer won first prize yesterday by scoring the 
best center in the bullseye contest of the California 
Schuetzen Club. Philo Jacoby, the veteran champion, 
scored a number of bullseyes in the allotted 20 shots, and 
succeeded in taking the tenth prize of the day. 
Otto and Frank Bremer were again to the fore in the 
re-entry event with the good scores of 69 each, being 
tied for first place. John Boiler won first on the pistol 
event with scores of 43, 43. 
The yearly standing for the four best bullseyes has 
been a walkover for Otto Bremer up to the present time, 
although the next two places are being hotly contested 
for by F. O. Bertelsen and J. S. Leutenegger. 
Ilinterman, Kolander and Waller each have fine chances 
to catch up with the leaders, but they have not enough 
entries to qualify.

Waldo Beats U. S. Champion. 
If the match on Aug. 24 had been official, Police 
Commissioner Rhinelander Waldo, of New York, might 
claim the revolver championship of the United States. 
It was merely the settling of an old controversy, how¬ 
ever, between Dr. John R. Hicks, the present holder of 
the title, and the Commissioner, and Dr. Hicks lost 
with a good grace, and intimated that he would Hke a 
return match. The Commissioner won by 184 to 179 out 
of a possible 225 points. 
This little argument between the Commissioner and 
Dr. Hicks started several years ago during the second 
Sulu campaign in the Philippines, when Commissioner 
Waldo was on the staff of Gen. Leonard Wood, and 
a Captain of Filipino Scouts, and Dr. Hicks was at¬ 
tached to the Twenty-eighth Infantry. The two men 
became friends and rode about the country taking 
potshots at monkeys and parrots, which are considered 
good eating out that way—the parrots. 
They became such good shots that the rivalry waxed 
warm, and the toll of monkeys and birds of brilliant 
plumage was such that, their friends say, when the two 
men plunged into the jungle the targets fled to the 
interior with a squawking and chattering that aroused 
the camp. 
Later Dr. Hicks came back and settled in the interior 
of Staten Island, where he says game is still seen occa¬ 
sionally. He had a revolver with a wonderfully light 
pull, with which he went after the championship of the 
United States. He won that from Dr. Calkins, of Spring- 
field, Mass., and later won the championship of New 
York State and city. Commissioner Waldo became mixed 
up in politics and has been having a strenuous time 
running the Fire and Police Departments. Revolver 
practice has not been part of his daily program. 
But when the two friends met recently in clubs the 
rivalry was revived, and Commissioner Waldo opined 
that even if Dr. Plicks was pinking targets with greatest 
accuracy he would be glad to outshOot him in the 
shooting gallery in the basement of Police Headquarters. 
Running the Police Department has improved his nerve, 
and his hand is as steady as a rock. 
Major William L. Kenly, of the Fifth Artillery, U. S. 
A., and Major Benjamin Keeler, of the Field Artillery, 
were referees. Patrolman Joseph Riley, attached to the 
Commissioner’s office, who was a first sergeant in the 
Third Cavalry in the Philippines, kept score. Dr. Hicks 
produced his long-barreled target pistol and tore out the 
bullseye of the target with five quick shots. The Com¬ 
missioner smiled, a bit, and made some bullseyes of his 
own. just to show that he hadn’t forgotten how. 
Ten rounds apiece were fired, with the Doctor’s weapon 
and he was a bit ahead The Commissioner wasn’t used 
to the light trigger. So, to uphold the honor of the 
department, and also to suit his hand he shot the rest 
of the match with a regulation police revolver. He 
crept up steadily, and when the forty-five rounds apiece 
had been fired, the Commissioner had won. He made 
twenty-three bullseyes and Dr. Hicks seventeen.
