Rifle Shooting in Genesee County. 
Batavia, N. Y., Jan. 9. —It is difficult to keep up in¬ 
terest in fish and game associations when so much else 
is going on as at this season of the year. At our monthly 
meeting last night we admitted eighteen new members, 
which with twenty-nine new ones last month, shows 
healthy growth. We now have over one hundred who 
have paid for the present fiscal year, ending Sept. 1. 
We are going to make a decided effort to secure as 
members those who secured hunting licenses in this 
county in 1911, and there were over 1600. If we can get 
a fair proportion of them we will have a fund with which 
to plant birds, fish and otherwise better conditions, so 
there will be something to go after when the fall season 
opens. Just to keep things moving, we had a rifle con¬ 
test last night. Sides were chosen, and the losing 
side paid 10 cents each, which furnished a smoke for 
everybody. The ten high men then shot a match for a 
ton of coal, which a member had donated. Last month 
we had four prizes. For next month we already have two 
prizes offered. Try it; it was a blizzard night, but it 
brought out forty of the boys. Scores follow: 
Side captained by Edward Russell, 2343; side captained 
by C. M. Feary, 2219. Russell wins by 124.

Olympic Revolver Team. 
At the twelfth annual meeting of the United States 
Revolver Association, held Jan. 15, in the Seventy-first 
Regiment Armory, it was decided to send a team of 
four men and two substitutes to the Olympic games at 
Stockholm. The matches are to be shot between June 
29 and July 5. The international target will be used, 
and each man will have 60 shots at 50 meters. Any 
ammunition, any pistol or revolver and any open sights 
may be used. Elimination trials will be held over the 
United States until May 29, when the entries close. The 
time of the departure of the team has not been fixed. 
It is pretty well understood that the team captain will be 
Lieut. Reginald H. Sayre, of this city. 
The by-laws were amended so as to elect five vice- 
presidents instead of one as before. This gives the ex¬ 
ecutive committee seven members. The Association now 
has 14,000 members and a balance in the treasury of 
$ 2 , 000 . 
The officers elected for 1912 are: President, C. S. 
Axtell, of Springfield, Mass.; Vice-Presidents, C. L. 
Linden, San Francisco; C. C. Crossman, St. Louis; 
R. J. Mulligan, Baltimore; W. H. Whigham, Chicago, 
and Dr. R. H. Sayre, New York; Secretary-Treasurer, 
J. B. Crabtree, Springfield, Mass. 
Federal Rifle and Revolver Club. 
At the regular annual meeting of the Federal Rifle 
and Revolver Club, held at the Federal range, Boston, 
on Jan. 8, the officers elected were; President, W. E. 
Fennell; Vice-President, C. H. Kelly; Secretary, O. E. 
Gerrish; Treasurer, W. S. Gibbons; Executive Officer, 
G. F. Hoffman. 
Under this competent administration there can be no 
doubt of the success of the organization during the year. 
The membership has increased remarkably, and material 
for exceptionally strong shooting teams is developing 
rapidly. Many interesting individual and team matches 
are planned, and entries have been made in the N. R. A. 
and U. S. R. A. matches.

Wisconsin Challenges. 
Through an unfortunate delay in forw’arding their 
entry blanks to National Rifle Association for a place in 
the intercollegiate tournament now in progress, Wis¬ 
consin University rifle team was unable to find a place 
in colleges listed in the matches. This is rather too 
bad, as Wisconsin, most of whose students hail from the 
big-game regions of the West, are, many of them, 
natural rifle shots, and would have added considerably 
to the interest in the tournament. They have, how¬ 
ever, shown their sporting blood by issuing challenges 
to all colleges East and West. The first challenge went 
to Nebraska University this week.

Washington, D. C., Jan. 13.—At the end of tne third 
week of the Eastern Indoor League, Cleveianq, New 
Haven and Bridgeport stand tie, each having won three 
and lost no matches. Two members of the New Haven 
team made possibles during the week, this being the 
principal reason New Haven finished ahead on the 
week’s work. The results for the week were: Phila¬ 
delphia 947, Manchester, N. H., 938, New Haven 990, 
Warren, Pa., 974, Bridgeport 988, Boston 935, Cleveland

This Man takes His Oath 
^ The fisherman is known to be the most “exact” 
person in the world, and some shooters can still draw 
the “long bow,” but our customers are convinced that 
The Greener is the World’s Best Gun 
They lose no opportunity of advertising this fact amongst 
their fellow sportsmen. 
Mr. Beddall, a merchant of Port Carbon. Pa., recently shot 
a crow with his 16-bore Greener gun at a distance of ,312 feet, 
measured by a Civil Engineer, and he has sworn to his state¬ 
ment before Mr. W. U. Gane, J. P. 
Mr. Penn, of Columbus, Ohio, another enthusiastic cus - 
tomer, writes, “I cannot thank you enough for my new gun . 
It is a jewel. I would not take $500 for it. Hurrah for W. W . 
Greener! He certainly is the Only Gunmaker.” 
Surely your new gun will be a "Far Killing” Greener. No 
other can give you the same consistent shooting combined 
with hard hitting and lasting wear.
