/fiarim Repeating Shotgun 
Made famous by its dependability. The solid top and side ejection keep gases and powder away from 
your eyes; help quick, effective repeat shots. Rain, sleet, snow and foreign matter can’t get into the action. 
The mechanism is strong, simple, wear-resisting. The double extractors pull any shell instantly; two special safety 
devices prevent accidental discharge while action is unlocked, and an automatic recoil block makes hangfires harmless. 
All Marlins are strongly made, finely balanced, accurate, hard hitting guns, and are the quickest and easiest to take down 
and clean. Illustration shows Model 24 grade “A” 12 gauge; it has all the features that make for a perfect gun

Trapshooters’ League of Indiana. 
Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 13.—The sixteenth annual 
tournament of the Trapshooters’ League of Indiana was 
held on the grounds of the Indianapolis Gun Club yes¬ 
terday and to-day. The weather on both days was ideal. 
Most of the contestants cante with the expectation of 
getting into a real shooting match—and in this they were 
not disappointed. The high gun, at any and all stages of 
the tournament, always had a competitor or two jogging 
along at his heels so closely that he had to shoot his best 
if he stayed in the race. 
J. R. Graham, of Chicago, won out in the two days’ 
program, with an exceedingly consistent, high-class 
record to his credit. He broke all but 10 of the 300 tar¬ 
gets in the regular program of the two days, broke 48 
cut of 50 in the preliminary of the first day, and 49 out 
of 50 in the warm-up of the second day; or, in other 
words, 13 down in 400. 
W. L. Straughan, of Waveland, Ind., was second high 
gun among the amateurs for the two days’ regular pro¬ 
gram, with a total of 287 out of 300—three targets less 
than Graham’s score. With this sort of shooting he 
won the highly coveted honor of the State championship 
for the current year, which also means one lap in the 
race for the permanent ownership of the large sterling 
silver loving cup that was donated as a championship 
emblem by T. H. Parry, retiring president of the 
League. The conditions of the contest require that it 
shall be won twice by an Indiana amateur at two sepa¬ 
rate annual tournaments of the League before it shall 
become his property. 
Next in order for high individual honors in the regu¬ 
lar program came Lon Fisher, of Columbus, O., with 
284; W. N. Wise, of Noblesville, Ind., with 281; O. F. 
liritton, of Indianapolis, with 279; T. H. Parry, of In¬ 
dianapolis, with 278; C. L. Nickle, of Marion, Ind., with 
277, and J. B. Barto, of Chicago; J. E. Cain, of Dayton, 
()., and G. G. Williamson, of Muncie, Ind., each with 
276. These contestants carried oflf the bulk of the sur¬ 
plus, amounting to $262, remaining in the special fund 
after the losses had been paid, according to the Squier 
money-back system. 
The two-man team race, open to Indiana amateurs, 
was won by team No. 3—W. N. Wise and T. II. Parry, 
who scored 559 out of 600. Teams No. 5 and 10, respec¬ 
tively, Moller and Britton, and Hickman and William¬ 
son, were tied for second place, each with 543 out of 600. 
Nickle and Jewett, comprising' team No. 7, were third 
with 540 out of 600. The trophies for this race, two 
pairs of quart size thermos bottles in sole leather cases, 
were presented by the Indianapolis Gun Club. 
George Miller, of Hamilton, Ind., in scoring 49 out 
of 50 targets in events 1 and 3 of the preliminary, and 
event 2 of the warm-up, won the Indian’s trophy, a 
silver-bound cut-glass decanter, presented by Col. E. H. 
Tripp, former president of the League. 
The secretary’s trophy, a sterling silver syrup pitcher, 
was won by Dr. C. C. Hickman, of Yeoman, Ind., who 
scored 48 out of 50 in event 2 of the preliminary and 
events 1 and 3 of the warm-up. 
The purses in the preliminary, a 50-target special pre¬ 
ceding the regular program of the first day, and in the 
warm-up, a 50-target special preceding the program of 
the second day. were divided, 25, 25, 25 and 25, class 
shooting. Graham, Britton, Edmondson, Hickman, 
Straughan, Andrews and Barto found profit in the dis¬ 
tribution. A tabulation of the scores made in these 
specials, by events, follows: 
Preliminary: No. 1 was for Indian’s trophy; No. 2, 
the secretary’s trophy; No. 3 the Indian's trophy. 
Warm-up: No. 1 was for the secretary’s trophy; No. 2, 
the Indian’s trophy; No. 3 the secretary’s trophy.

"Professionals. 
Among the professionals who shot through the regu¬ 
lar program. Young was high with 288; Ileikes second 
with 287; Taylor third with 286; Stannard fourth with 
278, and Marshall fifth with 265. Roll was unable to 
finish the events of the first day. During the first day’s 
shooting Stannard gave exhibitions, between events, of 
how to take the hammers out of another fellow’s gun and 
put them in his own. ITe demonstrated that he had skill 
as a mechanic, as well as that of a professional shooter, 
but it made-him sweat to do it. 
The annual business meeting of the League was about 
as hot a contest as the shooting. The delegates who 
were present at the meeting called for Tuesday evening 
at headquarters hotel thought they had their affairs ar¬ 
ranged about right when adjournment came, but the 
discussion on the shooting grounds the next day led 
them into a special called meeting for the purpose of 
reconsidering some actions that were had the evening 
before. The results of the two meetings, in short, were 
that Evansville, Ind , was chosen as the place for holding 
the next annual tournament. Mr. G. A. Beard, Of 
Evansville, was elected president for the ensuing year, 
and Mr. Frank P. Fuchs, 130 Main street, Evansville, 
was elected secretary. These two gentlemen, ex-officio, 
together with Messrs. IT. E. Wilcox, W. N. Wise, G. 
W. Wagner and G. G. Williamson, constitute the execu¬ 
tive committee of the League. The executive committee 
was instructed to hold the annual tournament at such 
time of the year and arrange such program for the oc¬ 
casion, as in its judgment might seem best for the in¬ 
terests of the sport in the State. Resolutions were 
passed expressing the appreciation of the meeting to 
Messrs. Parry, Tripp and Denny, and to the Indianapolis 
Gun Club, for their respective donations of trophies. 
This annual tournament was a better one in every re¬ 
spect than the one that was held last year, and if the 
zeal that was manifested by the delegates in the annual 
meeting indicated anything at all, it forecasts a larger 
and even more successful tournament next year at Evans¬ 
ville.

Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
The attendance at the regular shoot of the club on 
Sept. 17 was very small, most of the members having 
had their fill of shooting during the past week, and the 
visitors having left the city, on their way to the Westy 
Hogan shoot at Atlantic City. This was the date for the 
start of the series of contests for the Barker & Friesens 
cup, but only two scores were recorded, Dameron get¬ 
ting a good start with 48 and Gould breaking 35. The 
next shoot will be held on Sept. 23 and 24. 
The conditions governing this cup are as follows: Con¬ 
testants must shoot ten 50-target events between Sept. 17 
and Dec. 31, both dates included, so that there are 
fifteen shooting days remaining on which to compete. 
Only one event can be shot on the same day, and the 
contestant must announce his intention to shoot for the 
trophy before beginning his score. If there is a tie it 
will be shot off from the mark at which the contestants 
shot their last score in the match. The match is open to 
all amateurs. No entrance fee is charged, contestants 
paying one cent apiece for targets. Contestants handicap 
themselves. Starting in their first event at 16yds, and 
breaking 40 to 41 targets, they shoot their second event 
at the same distance; 42 to 43, go to 17yds.; 44 to 45, 
18yds.; 46 to 50, 19yds.; 48 to 50, 20yds.
