Birmingham Gun Club. 
July 18, 1914. 
Owing to the threatening weather but few shooters 
were out to the weekly shoot of the Birmingham Gun 
Club. John Fletcher led the shooting with 95 out of 
his 100 shot at; Ryding and Cornwell were in second 
place with 92. Fletcher was the only one to make a 
perfect score of 25. 
Tony Meal led the shooting of the Ensley-Pratt Gun 
Club on Friday with Moady a close second. 
A very attractive shoot is being arranged for July 
30th at the picnic of the East Lake Orphange. An 
expert will be on hand to give a rifle demonstration 
on that occasion and the Birmingham Gun Club will 
shoot a race for the beautiful trophy given by the 
management. 
The programs will be out in a few days for the 
Alabama State Shoot to be held August 11 and 12.

FIRST DAY. 
The two days’ registered tournament held on July 
9 and 10, proved a very successful and enjoyable affair. 
Manager H. R. Irwin, as usual, was “on the job,” 
and attended to all the details. A fine dinner was 
served in the club house by Mrs. Taggert, wife of the 
ground superintendent, each day which was thoroughly 
appreciated by the shooters. L. J. Squier had charge 
in the office, thus ensuring promptness and accuracy in 
the financial department. The program consisted of 
150 targets each day shoot in six events of 15 and then 
of 20 targets each. Entrance fee $3 which entitled the 
contestant to shoot for average money and trophies. 
Optional $1 sweep in each event, and a $2 optional 
sweep in the 150 targets each day, the former divided 
40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent., and the latter one money 
for each five entries or fraction thereof. Three hand¬ 
some gold trophies donated by the Interstate Asso- 
tion were distributed, class system, one in each class, 
on the first day, and $25 donated by the Interstate was 
added to the average money on the last day. The 
average money consisted of one event for each target 
trapped. There was a special 25-target handicap event 
scheduled for each day, handicaps, 16 to 20 yards, based 
on the scores made in the regular events. The weather 
was uncomfortably hot during the shoot, a high degree 
of humidity making the heat still more unbearable. 
Things worked smoothly during the shoot, with the 
exception of a short delay on the first day, caused by 
trap troubles The opening day was pleasant, but 
with the mercury standing at jS, the contestants did not 
move with much snap, and the regular events were 
not finished in time to pull off the special. There were 
thirty-eight entries during the day, of which thirty- 
one shot through the program. Among the out-of-town 
shooters were F. C. Koch, Phillipsburg; W. R. Crosby 
(Chief Kinnekinnie), O’Fallon, Ill.; B. P. Remy, 
Anderson, Ind.; J. N. Stropshire, Cynthiana, Ky.; O 
S. Lawrence, Louisville, Ky.; J. C. Dixon, Indianapolis. 
Ind.; T. E. and T. J. Donald. Felicity; Sam Leever and 
P. J.'Mallory, Goshen; C. O. Le Compte, Asheville, N. 
C.; W. H. Hall, Maysville, Ky.; R. H. Bruns, Brook- 
ville, Ind.; W. R. Randall, Mason; J. F. Couts, San 
Diego, Cal., and J. G. Francis, Harrison. The local 
shooters also turned out well, and captured their full 
share of the honors. None of the shooters reached the 
century mark in the long run column, but several made 
very good attempts. Sam Leever with 88; B. P. Remy, 
85; E. Hammerschmidt, 79; F. C. Koch, 61; O S. 
Lawrence and J. S. Day, 52 each. High amateur for 
the day was R. H. Bruns, with 146. H. J. Meyers, a 
local man, and one new in the game, was second with 
145; F\ C. Koch, J. F. Couts, B. P. Remy and Sam 
Leever, 144 each. The professional class was headed 
by J. S. Day and W. R. Crosby with 145 each; R. L. 
Trimble 141; O. S. Lawrence, 140. The shooters were 
classified by scores made in the regular events, scores 
of 136 and better in Class A; 129 to 135 in Class B, 
and 128 and under in Class C. The Class A trophy was 
won by R. H. Bruns with 146; Class B, J. N. Shropshire, 
135; Class C, J. C. Dixon with 127.

SECOND DAY. 
The attendance on the closing day of the tournament, 
was smaller than on the first day, as is most often the 
case, but there were enough present to make a nice 
shoot, twenty-nine ^entering, and twenty-five shooting 
in all events. The weather was still hot, but the con¬ 
testants got a little relief early in the afternoon when 
a wind storm accompanied by a few drops of 
rain passed over the grounds and cooled the air 
for a short while. The targets were affected by 
the wind, and the squads on the firing line during 
the blow, had to do some quick guessing to connect 
with the targets at all. The events were started at nine 
o’clock, and the regular program of six 15 and three 
20-target events were finished at three, there being no 
delays. This was followed by the special 25-target handi¬ 
cap event, with twelve entries. W. H. Hall from 19 
yards, and B. N. Shropshire from 16 yards tying on a 
straight score of 25. Rather than take part in a shoot- 
off the high men divided the prize, a case of shells. 
Several runs of 50 and better were made. R. L. Trimble 
finished one begun on the previous day with 65, and 
later made one of 62; H. J. Meyers, the local amateur, 
59; M. II. Johnson, also a local man, 57, and F. C. 
Koch, 50. High amateur honors were won by T. J. 
Donald, of Felicity, with a score of 145; J. F. Couts 
second with 143, and L. Rating third with 142. F. C. 
Koch, R. H. Bruns and Smart tied for fourth on 141. 
The professionals finished well to the front, Ralph L.
