FOREST AND STREAM. 
795 
caps was appreciated by all, and earned for him the 
title of kingpin. 
The Paleface office, as usual, was handled in the most 
efficient manner, and it was somewhat a pity that a larger 
crowd was not there to take advantage of the complete 
arrangements. 
Jack Brinley, as usual, made a good Jack-of-all-trades. 
Squad writing was his specialty this time, and it was 
done to the queen’s taste. Jack was in the money- 
loaning business on Tuesday, but as far as we can hear 
it was not over and above profitable. 
Arthur E, Sibley worked like a Trojan for the shoot’s 
success. The boys now feel that a shoot without the 
only Lil Arthur would have something of a peculiar 
feeling to it. , , , 
Murray Ballou, E. B. Drake and C. R. Borland, the 
former two of the Dead Shot office, and the latter from 
the Mills, took a run out to meet the boys, and were 
kept busy receiving congratulations on the success of 
their powder in the averages. 
O. R. Dickey and Bert Powel were among the ab¬ 
sentees. The latter sent word that 'Thursday was the 
only day he could make, but had to forego this pleasure 
as his business prevented. 
The Paleface lunch was a crowning feature, and was 
well looked after by Miss Kirkwood. 
Boston, Mass., May 5.—The regular Wednesday shoot 
of the Palefaces was easily the best we have had for 
some time, and the boys enjoyed playing with 90 per 
cent, averages that have been so elusive during the 
last six months. . , . 
Frank, of course, carried off the honors \vith his 97 
per cent., and it was a treat to see him do it. Hardly 
a target but what was blown clean out of sight, and in 
his usual snappy form, which is fast enough for the best. 
Gene Reed, as Mayor, and Frost, also took a hand 
in the target-smashing line, registering a 91 a piece, 
both using strange guns, the former’s being a 34in. treas¬ 
ure picked up among the remaining contestants. 
Buffalo Smith for once had to give up, but onljr be¬ 
cause of a broken gun, which Buff could not repair in 
time to get into the last events on the programme. In 
the extra events he got in with a vengeance, and would 
hftve delivered the goods if given half a show in the 
programme. . , . , 
Some six Harvard shooters entered into the fray and 
made some creditable scores. Saturday at the West¬ 
chester club, however, tells the tale as the intercollegiate 
will then be in force, and the Crimson shooters are 
indeed hopeful of the results. Next year’s team will 
also be a good one. with some of the freshman team then 
eligible. Other scores: _ ,

National League Telegraphic Team 
Matches. 
Cincinnati, O.—The April series of telegraphic 
matches shows the results given below. The idea is at¬ 
tracting the attention of clubs in widely separated parts 
of the country, and the secretary has received several 
letters, asking for information as to the purposes of 
the League, and the chances of getting into the contest. 
'The idea originated with Dr. I. P. Gould, of the North¬ 
ern Kentucky Gun Club, Dayton, Ky., and with the aid 
of Messrs. C. Woodbury and Geo. Damron, of the same 
club, he developed the plan, worked out the schedule 
and ’ launched the series successfully during the first 
part of April. It is patterned after the telegraphic 
matches which are frequently held between^ rifle and re¬ 
volver clubs. The purpose is more to bring the trap- 
shooters of the country into friendly and fraternal re¬ 
lations, than to test their skill at the trap. It was 
also thought that such contests would increase and 
keep alive the interest in the sport, which is very apt 
to slacken when there is no competition outside of the 
club members. During the month just passed each of 
the six clubs of the League has shot two matches. 
'The Chicago team has won both times, Kansas City, 
St. Louis, Indianapolis and Northern Kentucky have won 
one each. The high individual score of the month was 
made by W. R. Chamberlain, of Columbus, 98; F P. 
Ford, of the St Louis team, was second with 96. High 
individual score for the month was made by J. W. 
Bell, of St. Louis, who broke 187 out of the 290, or 93.5 
per cent.; F. P. Ford, of St. Louis, and W. R. Chamber- 
lain, of Columbus, were second with 185, or 92.5 per 
eent. each; W. H. McNichol, of St. Louis, came third 
with 184, or 92 per cent., and H. Denny, of Indianapolis, 
fourth, with 183, or 91.3 per cent. In the rnatter of 
individuals, St. Louis finished in the lead. High team 
average in any of the matches was made by Columbus 
with 90.2 per cent.; Kansas City, 89.6 per cent.; Chicago, 
89.2 per cent. For the month Indianapolis was high 
with 89.2 per cent.; St. Louis, second, with 88.1 per eent. 
Columbus, Chicago and Northern entucky followed in 
the order named, with averages running from 86.9 per 
cent, to 86 per cent. 
The handicaps in this series apply to the whole team 
and not to individuals. In the first match of the series 
each team shot from 16yds. Teams scoring 80 per cent, 
or under shot their next match at the same distance; 
81 per cent, to 85 per cent, went to 17yds.; 86 per cent, 
to 90 per cent, to 18yds.; 91 per cent, to 95 per cent, to
