FOREST AND STREAM 
SEVENTH ANNUAL TOURNAMENT OF 
N. A. S. A. C. 
The remarkably fine weather was one of the 
many factors to assist in swelling the attendance 
at the seventh annual tournament of the Nation¬ 
al Association of Scientific Angling Clubs, held 
at the pool, in Washington Park, Chicago, Sep¬ 
tember 5, 6 and 7. 
John Waddell of Grand Rapids, Mich., the vet¬ 
eran fly caster, one of the best-known fishermen 
in the West, cast in several events, doing some 
very creditable work. 
Among the cities represented were Kansas 
City, Mo.; St. Louis, Mo.; Grand Rapids, Mich.; 
Columbus, O.; Dundee, Ill.; and Racine, Wis. 
New records were established in the salmon 
fly, quarter-ounce distance bait, quarter-ounce 
accuracy bait, light-tackle dry fly accuracy, half¬ 
ounce distance bait and half-ounce accuracy bait. 
The winner of first place in each event was 
awarded a diamond trophy, emblematic of the 
N. A. S. A. C. amateur championship, while to 
the other winners were awarded valuable prizes. 
The first event was the salmon fly. There 
were seventeen entrants. The previous high 
record in the event was broken by four casters— 
J. M. Smith, F. N. Peet, G. G. Chatt and C. E. 
Lingenfelter. The caster was hardly able to get 
his line out in the back, but the wind helped 
him in laying out 'his cast along the buoy line. 
The prize winners were as follows: First, C. E. 
Lingenfelter; second, G. G. Chatt; third, F. N. 
Peet; fourth, J. M. Smith; fifth, W. J. Jamison; 
sixth, John Waddell; seventh, Call McCarthy. 
The next event was the quartemounce distance 
bait, with twenty-two entrants. At the start, the 
south wind, blowing with an approximate veloci¬ 
ty of thirty miles an hour, was too strong for 
quarter-ounce casting, but the wind soon died 
down and conditions were better. B. F. Flegel’s 
score of 177 ft. 5 in. established a new tourna¬ 
ment record, eclipsing his score of 1910 by near¬ 
ly thirty [feet. His longest cast of 192 feet 4 
inches was remarkable. 
The winners of prizes follow: 
B. F. Flegel, first; C. E. Lingenfelter, 
second; N. F. Noland, third; O. E. Becker, 
fourth; Call McCarthy, fifth; F. N. Peet, sixth; 
F. Kleinfeldt, seventh; W. J. Jamison, eighth. 
The third event, the heavy-tackle accuracy fly, 
brought out thirty contestants. The wind blew 
in flurries and gusts from the south and south¬ 
west, Which somewhat handicapped the casters. 
C. E. Lingenfelter’s score, with only three de¬ 
merits, was exceptionally good, and all the con¬ 
testants made a good showing, seventeen men 
scoring over ninety-nine per cent, a record not 
to be ashamed of. The prize-winners were C. 
E. Lingenfelter, first; J. M. Smith, second; A. 
J. Winteringham, third; G. G. Chatt, fourth; 
C. H. Doyle, fifth; Dr. J. G. Hollingsworth, 
sixth; C. W. Grant, seventh; W. Andrews, 
eighth. 
The fourth event, the heavy-tackle distance 
fly, came first on the program, Sunday, with 
nineteen entrants. A shifting, cross wind made 
conditions bad, and it was almost impossible for 
the caster to whip his line out to any respectable 
distance. The prize winners were Call McCar¬ 
thy, first; F. N. Peet, second; G. G. Chatt, third; 
C. E. Lingenfelter, fourth; T. W. Brotherton, 
fifth; Jobn Waddell, sixth; A. J. Winteringham, 
seventh; F. Kleinfeldt, eighth. 
Following the distance fly came the quarter- 
ounce accuracy bait, with fifty-four contestants 
and spirited competition ensued. Mrs. H. C. 
Humphreys made a score of 98, a most excellent 
record for a lady. A large number of high 
scores were made, thirteen men averaging 99 
per cent or better. The conditions were ideal in 
this event, with just a breath of air stirring. 
William Stanley’s score of 99.6 per cent is a new 
association record, exceeding by one-tenth per 
cent the score of W. H. Ball in 19x0. The win¬ 
ners of prizes were: William Stanley, first; N. 
F. Noland, second; L. M. Place, third; A. D. 
Whitby, fourth; J. W. Tice, fifth; C. H. Doyle, 
sixth; C. W. Grant, seventh; E. K. Pierson, 
eighth; M. M. Clark, ninth; O. E. Becker, tenth; 
A. J. Winteringham, eleventh; E. S. Gray, 
twelfth; W. J. Jamison, thirteenth; Call Mc¬ 
Carthy, fourteenth. 
When the two events were completed, the hour 
being late, the light-tackle dry fly accuracy event 
was postponed until the following day, when it 
was cast in conjunction with the distance fly. 
Thirty-three contestants were on hand. Condi¬ 
tions were exceedingly poor, owing to the wind, 
which played havoc with the line on the back 
cast, but some extraordinary scores were made 
notwithstanding. Ordinarily, in a club contest 
under the existant conditions the event would 
have been postponed to await less adverse cir¬ 
cumstances. The following were prize winners: 
F. Kleinfeldt, first; C. E. Lingenfelter, second; 
F. N. Peet, third; Call McCarthy, fourth; Will¬ 
iam Stanley, fifth; E. K. Pierson, sixth; A. J. 
Winteringham, seventh; T. W. Brotherton, 
eighth. 
The seventh event to be cast was the light- 
tackle, distance fly, in which there were eighteen 
contestants. Conditions, on the whole, were 
good, although the wind was bad on the back 
cast. It was an average day, and no Complaints 
were made. Prize winners were: Call McCarthy 
first; G. G. Chatt, second; F. N. Peet, third; 
C. W. Grant, fourth; W. J. Jamison, fifth; I. H. 
Heilman, sixth; T. W. Brotherton, seventh; C. 
E. Lingenfelter, eighth. 
There were twenty-three contestants in the 
half-ounce distance bait and a good contest en¬ 
sued, the light north wind serving as first aid 
to the caster. B. F. Flegel broke the world’s 
record, his average score being 222 feet 1 inch, 
which outdistanced his previous score of 214 1-3 
feet. And now who will dare to say that “23” 
is an unlucky number? Those winning prizes 
were: B. F. Flegel, first; C. E. Lingenfelter, sec¬ 
ond; G. G. Chatt, third; F. Kleinfeldt, fourth; 
L. N. Place, fifth; Call McCarthy, sixth; T. 
Nordholm, seventh; I. H. Heilman, eighth. 
The closing event of the tournament was the 
half-ounce accuracy bait, which had sixty-four 
entrants. A close contest resulted, and some re¬ 
markable scores were mad©,’ (considering tihe 
poor light on 'be water. A new national tourna¬ 
ment record was established by G. G. Chatt, 
with his score of 99.6, which was just a trifll’e 
higher than the previous record made by D. F. 
Beatty in 1910. The winners of prizes were: G. 
G. Chatt, first; William Stanley, second; D. Ker- 
naghan, third; E. K. Pierson, fourth; Call Mc¬ 
Carthy, fifth; F. Kleinfeldt, sixth; G. S. Eldred, 
seventh; C. W. Grant, eighth; A. Bauer, ninth; 
O. E. Becker, tenth; C. H. Doyle, eleventh; A. 
J. Winteringham, twelfth; L. N. Place, thir¬ 
teenth; A. D. Whitby, fourteenth. 
In the special half-ounce accuracy bait event, 
cast in conjunction with the championship half¬ 
ounce accuracy bait on Monday, C. F. Andrews 
was the winner of the silver loving cup present¬ 
ed by President Bauer. C. P. Clifford was a 
close second, while F. C. Wernecke was in third 
place. 
Call McCarthy won the highest honor of the 
tourney, the first place in the All-Around 
Championship, the trophy being a handsome sil¬ 
ver loving cup presented by Forest and Stream. 
C. E. Lingenfelter was in second place, and re¬ 
ceived the second cup. 
The N. A. S. A. C. pennant for 1914 was won 
by the Anglers’ Casting Club of Chicago.
