Cincinnati Gun Club. 
Eighteen members of the Story Gun Club visited the 
grounds August 30 and took part in the weekly shoot. 
In all forty-six shooters were present, among them 
Sam Leever and Dull of Goshen; W. Randall of Mason; 
C. A. Young of Springfield; J. M. Barr of Indianapolis; 
Gaskill and Dimmitt, of Morrow. The weather condi¬ 
tions were perfect, and a number of good scores were 
made. The home club started the sport with a visit¬ 
ors’ event at 50 targets, offering a handsome DuPont 
trophy as a prize to the high man belonging to the 
Story Club. This was a handicap event, and was won 
by Ned Smead on a perfect score of 50, including his 
handicap. J. L. Roth, Jr. made high score of actual 
breaks, 34, O. Newkirch, second with 33. Nemo and 
Gaskill tied for high score in the event on 49, but were 
not eligible to win, not being members of the visiting 
club. The star performer of the afternoon was C. A. 
Young, the well known professional from Springfield; 
he broke 149 out of 150, having an unfinished run of 144; 
at doubles he broke 45 out of 25 pairs, and from 20 yards 
broke 22 targets. Leever and Johnson broke 23 from 20 
yards; Dull 20 and Porter 17. Butz broke 16 out of 12 
pairs, and Meyers 35 out of 25 pairs. In the team 
match Dimmitt’s team defeated Cambell's team by one 
target, 315 to 314. Young made high individual score of 
50 straight; Randall and Connelly second with 47 each. 
A Dutch lunch was served during the afternoon, and 
everyone enjoyed themselves. Out of the 100 targets 
Nemo broke 93; Gaskill, Dimmitt and L. Gambell 92 
each; Randall and Dibowski 91 each. Connelly scored 
92 in his first 100. Ford shot in three events at 75 tar¬ 
gets and broke 71. A number of the club members will 
attend the Grand American Handicap at Dayton, be¬ 
ginning on September 7.

* Central Ohio League’s Tournament. 
The fifth and last tournament of the League’s series 
was held at Dayton, on the N. C. R. grounds, August 
29th, under the auspices of the Salem Gun Club. The 
attendance was a disappointment to the officers of the 
Salem Club, as every arrangement had been made to 
care for one of the largest crowds of the series, and 
the fact that the G. A. H. grounds and traps were to 
be used, was expected to prove a drawing attraction. 
Stormy weather on Friday probably prevented many 
from starting, and others were unable to leave their 
business on the last day of the week. However, in 
everything but the number of contestants, the shoot 
was one of the best of the series, and the Salem Gun 
Club officials are to be congratulated on their hand¬ 
ling of the event. The events, four at 15 and two at 
20-targets each, and the special, two 25-target events, 
were run off over four traps, the first squad taking its 
place on the firing line soon after nine. Early in the 
afternoon the events were finished, and the balance of 
the day was devoted to events at doubles, and to prac¬ 
ticing at handicap distances. The weather was. about 
all that could be asked for. A slight shower, just as 
the shooting started, lasted only a few moments, and 
soon afterward the sky cleared, and the sun shone 
brightly the rest of the day. A strong increasing wind 
which prevailed during most of the day, made the tar¬ 
gets rather erratic, and cut some of the scores below the 
average. The office was in charge of L. J. Squier, 
who handled the financial end of the tournament to 
everyone’s satisfaction, as usual. F. C. Koch, of the 
Salem Club, not only shot well, but looked after the 
field work, and kept things moving smoothly. In the 
regular program events, H. E. Smith, of Columbus, was 
high amateur with 96; Lon Fisher and F. C. Koch 94 
each; K. P. Johnson and J. E. Nutt 93 each, and C. 
D. Coburn 92. J. R. Taylor was high professional with 
96; C. A. Young and C. F. Moore 95 each; R. O. 
Heikes 94. In the special event, C. A.. Young, pro¬ 
fessional, and K. P. Johnson, amateur, tied on 49; J. 
R. Taylor and H. E. Smith were second on 48; C. T. 
Stevens and J. N. Knox, amateurs, 47 each. In the 
five-men team contest, Springfield and Dayton were the 
only clubs represented, the latter winning by a mar¬ 
gin of 19 targets. Eight teams were entered in the 
two-men contest, the Lima Gun Club’s team, J. N. 
Knox and Lon Fisher, winning with 184. The N. C. 
R. Gun Club team, H. W. Heikes and J. N. Knox, 
second with 183. 
The President’s Trophy, a solid silver, gold lined 
loving cup, presented by Mr. J. M. Markham, for the 
amateur contestant having high average on 400 or more 
targets during the series, was won by F. C. Koch, of 
Phillipsburg, on a score of 468 out of 500; H. E. Smith, 
of Columbus finished second, with 467; K. P. Johnson 
and A. B. Shobe, 460 each; H. W. Heikes 459; C. T. 
Stevens 458; J. N. Knox 456; H. D. Duckham 447; J. 
M. Markham 451; C. E. Winkler 442. The conditions 
required that the contestants should shoot through at 
least four of the five tournaments, the regular pro¬ 
gram of too targets to count. The Secretary’s Trophy, 
a repeating shot gun, presented by Mr. Harry C. 
Downey, was won by K. P. Johnson, of Kenton, on a 
score of 653 out of 700; H. E. Smith was second with 
648; F. C. Koch, 647; H. W. Heikes and J. N. Knox 
641 each; A. B. Shobe, 637; H. D. Duckham, 627. The 
conditions required that a contestant should shoot 
through the regular program and also the special event 
at 50 targets, a total of 150 at each tournament, at 750 
for the series. Owing to the large number of shooters 
attending the opening tournament, the special event 
was omitted on that occasion, so that the total num¬ 
ber of targets for series was 700. 
The Edwards’ Trophy, a silver carving set, presented 
by Dr. F. M. Edwards, shot for in the special event, 
was won by K. P. Johnson who rolled up a total of 10 
points in the race; H. W. Heikes had 6; H. D. Duck¬ 
ham 7 and F. C. Koch and II. E. Smith 5 each. The 
conditions allowed the first, second and third high 
scores in the special 50-target event at each tourna¬ 
ment, three (3) points, two (2) points and one (1) point, 
respectively, as in the Rose System of money division. 
The contestant having the greatest number of points 
at the close of the five tournaments to win the trophy. 
Each member of the winning team in the 2-men team 
contest, received a pair of gold cuff buttons, the same 
team not being allowed to win but one set. At Spring- 
field, where the first tournament was held, F. J. and 
C. D. Coburn, won on a score of 187; at Kenton, F. 
C. Koch and H. W. Heikes, 189; at Columbus, F. M. 
Edwards and H. E. Smith, 185; at Lima, W. F. Bippus 
and A. D. Dress, 181; at Dayton, J. N. Knox and Lon 
Fisher, 184. 
The Lewis Class System was used in connection with 
the regular program, of 100 targets, an entrance fee of 
$2.00 being charged, the entire amount going to the 
purse, which was equally divided among four classes. 
There were three moneys in each class. Rose System 
3-2-1. Class A, scores of 90 or better; Class B, 86 to 
89; Class C, 81 to 85, and Class D, 80 or less. H. E. 
Smith was high man in Class A, with 96; two 94’s and 
two 93’s took the other moneys. Class B went to H. W. 
Heikes and L. Anderson were high on 89; there were 
four 88’s and three 87’s. In Class C there were six 
85’s, two 84’s and three 83’s. In Class D, 80 was high, 
followed by two 79’s and three 77’s. Average attendance 
at the League tournaments, 95. proof that the League 
has warranted its existence and that it has succeeded 
in its object, to increase and maintain the interest in 
trap shooting. Leagues in other sections of the state 
would undoubtedly meet with like results, if the right 
men could be induced to work the matter. During the 
tournaments 61,315 targets have been trapped, including 
the special event at this shoot.
