FOREST AND STREAM 
[Dec. 9, 1911. 
New York Athletic Club. 
Pelham Manor, N. Y., Nov. 30.—Eugene Crowe finally 
won the Thanksgiving cup at Travers Island to-day, 
shooting through a tie with Lindquist, Higginson and 
De Wolfe. Crowe made 22 with his handicap of 2. For 
the honors of high gun of the day there was a close 
race between G. F. Pelham, D. Lindquist and B. M. 
Higginson. Each won two, but in actual results Hig¬ 
ginson had the best of it, as he won out in the Novem¬ 
ber cup. Lindquist won the leg yesterday and this left 
him a tie with Higginson, both having two legs, but in 
the shoot-off Higginson was much more accurate, for he 
made 23 from scratch, while Lindquist had to be con¬ 
tent with a total of 19, including a handicap of 2 targets.

Ossining Gun Club. 
The scores made at the clay target shoot of the 
Ossining Gun Club Thanksgiving Dav were disappoint¬ 
ing, considering the ideal weather conditions. Seventeen 
shooters bolted turkey dinners to be on hand at 1:30 P.M. 
to compete for the six prizes offered. Three prizes went 
to class A, this having the largest entry: two to Class B, 
while in Class C, James H. Moran and John T. Kirby 
fought it out for the remaining prize. 
All shot at 50 targets, and a glance at the scores will 
show a perfect classification—T. T. Washburne being the 
only exception. It wasn’t Ike’s fault, for he was trying 
a new-fangled gun, that acted like a balky horse. Ted 
Brewerton duplicated his 1910 Thanksgiving Day per¬ 
formance by copping first prize. Brewerton was tied by 
A. L. Burns, who motored over from Mamaroneck to 
get in the game, but won on a toss-up. Preston Wood 
won second in Class A. 
Two members from Pleasantville—Arthur Sutton and 
Frank Zarr—drove over in their auto with Will Huff 
and A. C. Hoyt, a prospective member, as their guests. 
Zarr got first prize in Class B. while Sutton lost second 
on a toss-up with S. Arthur Kipp in the same class. 
The scores were as follows, the stars denoting visitors: 
Class A—A. L. Burns 43, Edward Brewerton 43. R. P. 
Wood 42, C. G. Blandford 41. G. B. Hubbell 40, L. F. 
Lyons 36, J. T. Hyland 35, I. T. Washburne 30. 
Class B—F Zarr 35. *W. IT. Huff 35, S. A. Kipp 31,

Indianapolis Gun Club. 
The man in a rocker by the fire, said conditions were 
about right for breaking targets. The man behind the 
gun thought otherwise, and so the scores were generally 
low at the shoot of the Indianapolis Gun Club. Parry 
showed best in the percentage column, and Edmonson 
was best in the spoon handicap. 
The Indianapolis Gun Club will have an all-day shoot

Crescent Athletic Club. 
Bay Ridge, L. I., Nov. 30. —The turkey gobbled, but 
Geo. E. Brower finally gobbled the turkey, after a tie 
with W. W. Pell and Arthur Blake, in the annual turkey 
shoot here to-day. Not only did Brower capture the 
turkey, but he also scored a leg on the Stake trophy at 
the same time. 
The take-home trophy at 100 targets also ended in a 
triple tie. C. R. James, C. Blake and J. F. James each 
had totals of 90 targets in the first time at the traps. 
The shoot-off was at 25 targets, and although he missed 
his first two birds, tile prize, a handsome clock, was 
taken by C. R. James. 
A club trophy shoot ended in a tie among F P. 
Stephenson, F. S. 
Hyatt and A. Blake. All tied 
again 
in the shoot-off that followed. In the second shoot-off 
F. B. Stephenson broke 
the 
tie and won the event.

*Guest. 
There was great interest here Saturday last over the 
100 target take-home trophy. There were eleven entries, 
hut it didn’t take long for Stephenson and Fairchild to 
shake off the other nine. The latter finally won out with 
93 against 90 for Stephenson. C. R. James was third 
with 84. A. Bryant made a leg on the December cup. 
C. R. James showed high on the Stake trophy, handicap. 
The weather was perfect for trapshooting. The sum¬ 
maries :
