Indianapolis Tournament. 
Indianapoi.is, Tnd.—The tournament of the Indianapo¬ 
lis Gun Club, held on April 21 and 22, was the sixth 
annual. A sliding handicap governed the sweepstake 
events. The w-ind was blowing a forty-mile gale on the 
first day, and the handicap and bad weather kept down 
the attendance. Nevertheless, all had a good time. There 
were all told, twenty-four contestants on the first day. 
On the first day, Crosby was high professional'with 199 
out of a possible 220. Young seconcf with 192. Straughn 
was high amateur with 191. The scores follow:

April 22, Second Day. 
The weather conditions were more favorable on the 
second day, but still were unfavorable for a sliding 
handicap. Crosby again won high professional with a 
total of 205 out of 220. Le Compte was second with 
196. Of the amateurs Straughn and Parry tied on 198 
for the day’s high average.

Mountain View Tournament. 
Troy, N. Y., April 24.—The attendance at our two-day 
tournament, held on April 23 and 24, was not up to our 
expectations. The weather was very bad for target 
shooting—a rain storm prevailed during the first day, and 
a fierce gale blew across the traps on the second, making 
good scores almost impossible. 
The programme of 200 targets, with $40 added money 
and $20 average money each day, was shot. 
J. S. Fanning was high professional on the first day, 
scoring 194 out of 200. J. A. R. Elliott was high pro¬ 
fessional for the second day, scoring 172 out of 200. 
lloth the above named gentlemen tied for high gun for 
the two days, each breaking 359 out of 400. Both of 
them received a Dunlap hat. The four high averages 
among the amateurs for the first day were won by 
X’alentine, scoring 186 out of 200; Hurd and Clay tied 
for second, each scoring 180. Butler secured third place, 
scoring 177. Corefield and Farrell tied for fourth posi¬ 
tion, each scoring 176. 
On the second day Sanders was high amateur, scoring 
170 out of 200. Wilcox was second, scoring 164. Hurd 
secured third place scoring 162. N'alentine was fourth 
with 153 to his credit. The general average for the two 
days (purse $30) was divided by Hurd, Sanders, Wilco.x 
and Valentine. 
Thirty-seven gunners participated in the events on the 
first day, fifteen of them being members of the home 
club. On the second day thirty-one gunners partici¬ 
pated, and again fifteen of the local boys took part. 
Mr. Harry Stevens did not shoot, as he was suffering 
from a very severe attack of rheumatism. However, he 
made himself very useful in the office, he acting as 
cashier, which duties he performed in his excellent 
manner. The scores for the two days follow; 
April 23, First Day.

The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., April 23.—The regular Wednesday shoot 
held here to-day was certainly up against it, as far as 
weather conditions were concerned, and it has been 
many a day since such a peculiar day has been en¬ 
countered. The holiday of April 19 kept down the at¬ 
tendance in no small way, but enthusiasts like Frank, 
Buff, Charles, Hussam, Burnes, etc., were on hand and 
would not forego one of the Wednesday afternoon shoots. 
One Buffalo was in the lime light, and while 81 on 
paper seems little, out at the grounds it was a splendid 
score and took a professional to beat it. Frank, with 
79, came in for second, his third event with six misses 
putting him down and out, as far as first was con¬ 
cerned. Hodges captured third and shot exceedingly 
well, considering that the last shoot for him was the 
1908 Eastern Handicap. 
In the Burnes trophy Charles won out with a clear 
lead of 3 targets over all the other amateurs. Buffalo, 
with 81, led Burnes and Daggett one target, and deserves 
great credit for the uphill battle. 
Six teams entered the team race, Dickey and Frank 
on scratch and Curtis and Abbott with 8 on the limit. 
The scratchers proved themselves to be the real shooters 
and tied the Buffalo-Clarke combination on 43, with 
Charles and Burton second, three targets less. Scores:

New York Athletic Club. 
Although the trapshooting season at Travers Island 
does not end before May 8, the New York Athletic Club 
gunners held their last competition for the season’s 
trophies yesterday in order to determine the permanent 
possessors of the various club prizes. Fifteen men re¬ 
ported for the final contests, the majority of them being 
those who had succeeded in winning one or more 
legs on the prizes during the season. 
The Sauer gun was awarded to F. H. Schauffler, who 
not only had the most legs to his credit, but who also 
led the “Mercury Foot” shooters during the season, 
with an average of 88.49 per cent. F. A. Hodgman was 
the second best gunner of the club, with a mark of 
87.90 per cent, for the season. The other gunners who 
succeeded in scoring victories were T. J. O’Donohue, 
Jr. and T. C. Durham. 
(j. W. Billings and F. H. Schauffler showed the best 
form in the final competition yesterday, each having one 
perfect score to his credit.

St. Louis Central Sharpshooters’ Association. 
St. Louis, April 19. —Capt. Siepe’s men were up against 
even a tougher proposition than the riflemen, for the 
targets flew in every direction except where they were 
expected to, and shooting was a great deal a matter of 
chance; but ten men took chances and shot at 75 birds 
each. '\Vatkins and Spaedy were after each other’s scalps, 
and as they shot pretty well together Sunday afternoon, 
they have agreed to shoot a match of 100 shots on next 
Sunday afternoon to decide who really is the best man. 
The results of Sunday’s shoot were as follows: 
Events: 12 3 Events:
