COMPOSITOR RAISES 2,000 PHEASANTS. 
Thanks to the generosity of one of our lino¬ 
type operators, John M. Crampton, superinten¬ 
dent of the State Board of Fisheries and Game of 
Connecticut, was credited, in last week’s issue 
with having raised 8,000 pheasants last year. 
Mr. Crampton modestly suggests that the number 
he raised was only 6,000. 
CHARLES CRAWFORD IRWIN. 
Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 21, 1914. 
Greeting the rising sun with the rare smile 
that endeared him to hundreds of friends the 
country over, Charles Crawford Irwin left us 
forever on the morning of October 12th, in his 
home “The Oa'ks,” Bellevue. Although the end 
came after months of suffering, endured with 
that cheerfulness and courage that marked all 
his actions, and although we had been expecting 
it for many weeks, the news brought a feeling 
of sadness to every man who had the happiness 
of his acquaintance. 
Charley Irwin was born August 20th, 1877, on 
the North Side, Pittsburgh, then old Allegheny, 
and was a son of Thomas W. Irwin. A thorough 
Pittsburgher and despite his slight physique as 
game as men are made, he found his greatest 
pleasure in trap-shooting and his sunny cheer¬ 
fulness and native humor made a bright spot 
in every gathering of the shooters’ clan in this 
section until disease and pain put him out of the 
game on July 31, 1913. 
Ever since he had been fighting for his life, 
with that same cheerful courage that marked 
him on the field of sport. Entering the Homeo¬ 
pathic hospital over a year ago he remained there 
thirteen weeks hanging between life and death 
and was then removed to his home, where he 
remained until last April. Thinking an entire 
change of climate might help him, he went to 
Atlantic City, where he was in the care of emi¬ 
nent physicians until September 26th, when he 
made his last journey back to Pittsburgh, and 
his home, knowing that the end was near. 
Even though there was no hope, he never lost 
his cheerfulness, despite the terrible pain he suf¬ 
fered, and to the last remained the cheery cour¬ 
ageous gentleman. From Atlantic City last 
Spring and Summer he corresponded with many 
friends. 
Loyal to the last to his favorite sport, he kept 
his gun beside him, and in talking with friends 
expressed the hope that he could just once more 
stand behind the traps with his old shooting 
comrades and “grind a few” of the blue-rocks. 
And down the long line of hundreds of shooters 
who competed against him, there is not one who 
is not a friend and admirer of his sportsman¬ 
ship. Since his illness began, no gathering of 
trapshooters has been held in this section where 
his name was not mentioned in loving regret 
that he was not present, and at the Western 
Pennsylvania League meeting last winter the 
hundred or more men present united in sending 
him a message of good cheer and affection. He 
belonged to both state sportsmen’s organizations 
and was a consistent and active friend to the 
cause of Wild Life Conservation. His illness 
was a complication of diseases with valvular 
heart trouble as the principal and deciding factor 
and he suffered terrible pain, but never so much 
that he hadn’t a kind word or a jest for those with 
whom he came in contact-

Watson Wins Du Pont Quail Pin. 
We finished our regular season to-day with 
fairly good scores, considering a gale of wind. 
Tomlinson won first prize and Childs second for 
the day’s program—both cut glass trophies. For 
the year’s shooting—all handicap according to 
the Du Pont system, Tomlinson was high, win¬ 
ning first prize, a double shotgun donated by the 
Baker Gun & Forging Co.; Gardiner, 3 targets 
behind, was second, winning $5 in gold donated 
by Mr. Tomlinson; Watson & Walls, 4 targets 
behind Tomlinson, were 'tied for third, Watson 
winning the shoot-off and $5 prize offered by 
Mr. Thomas. We shot a program once a month 
for eight months, the first six programs to qual¬ 
ify, the Du Pont system seemed to figure out 
quite fair when the four higdi guns were only 4 
targets apart. Thanksgiving scores follow—
