FOREST AND STREAM 
LEAGUE OF OHIO SPORTSMEN. 
Two state records were broken at the annual 
tournament of the League of Ohio Sportsmen, 
held at Franklin park, September first, W. T. 
Behman winning one and Nelson L. Bulkley 
another. Cups were presented to both contest¬ 
ants. The following are the results: 
BEHMAN WINS STATE RECORD. 
W. T. Behman won the accuracy fly contest 
at Franklin park last week with 99 5-15 per 
cent., which sets a new state record. He also 
won the long distance fly with an average of 73 
1-2 feet. The fly events were contested hotly but 
owing to the 20-mile wind, which makes a whirl¬ 
wind at Franklin park, considerable luck with 
greater skill seemed to win out. The showing 
of the visiting contestants under the circum¬ 
stances was remarkable.

45 ' ANOTHER STATE RECORD. 
The one-half ounce accuracy bait casting was 
won by Nelson L. Bulkley with a score of 987* 
to per cent. This score is a state record. The 
wind, in all probability, kept the records down, 
as casters were often thrown off five feet in a 
single cast. 
A. E. Shatford won the one-fourth ounce ac¬ 
curacy with a score of 97 7-10 per cent. This 
score is remarkable, considering the high wind, 
which seemed to gust in from all directions.

The one-half ounce long distance bait event 
was won by Nelson L. Bulkley with 153 feet. 
Average three casts. Owing to the lateness of 
the hour, this event was cast on water, which ac¬ 
counts for the low average. 
The one-fourth ounce long distance bait event 
was won by F. M. Brooks with 133 feet. Aver¬ 
age three casts. This event was cast on water, 
as the hour was too late for the course on land 
is quite a little distance from the lake.

WASHINGTON PARK CASTING CLUB. 
Chicago, Sept. 14, 1914.—The following 
scores were cast at the club meet, Re-Entry Day, 
Sept. 12 and the day following. 
Weather conditions were fairly good. Wind, 
northeast and south, 8 to 12 miles—partly clear, 
partly cloudy. 
Mr. Moffett’s score in 1-4 oz. distance bait 
establishes a new club record. 
Mr. Heetfield’s average “shoot” in the hobble 
distance fly is very commendable as this was 
his “first try” at this game. As an award, he 
has his next hobble advanced five feet—-viz. to 
65 feet. 
The Washington Park Amateur fellows ac¬ 
quitted themselves creditably in the National 
Amateurs’ Tournament. J. E. Amman achieved 
the “All Round Championship” and the champ¬ 
ionship trophy in Salmon Fly, L. T. Dry Fly Ac¬ 
curacy and L. T. Distance Fly. Mr. F. E. Mof¬ 
fett was awarded the championishp trophy in 
1-2 oz. Distance Bait. Mr. R. C. Nicholson the 
championship trophy in 1-2 oz. Accuracy Bait. 
L. E. De Garmo the tophy in L. T. Accuracy 
Fly. Besides which members of our club were 
awarded three second places, four third places, 
two fourth places and four fifth places. 
Of the four new entrants cups hung up, three 
were awarded to our fellows. Mr. R. D. Heet- 
field, Mr. H. A. McLane and Mr. O. J. Towell. 
Mr. Towell’s scores would have taken two of 
these, except the rule permitted one cup only 
to be awarded to any one contestant. 
Let every member turn out at the next meet— 
Re-Entry Day—Sept. 26 and complete his scores 
in all events for the season. 
The club’s formal program will be concluded 
at that time. 
The last meet was an enjoyable one and indi¬ 
cates the good times still to come at the pool 
and the club dinners during the winter season. 
The Arctic Squad will hold their first meet in 
distance bait Thanksgiving Day.
