FOREST AND STREAM 
April 20, 1912 
The prediction has been made that there will be more 
shooting around Cincinnati this season than for a num¬ 
ber of years, and the club officers are planning to do 
their share toward the fulfillment of this prophecy. With 
clubs—and all live ones—at Alt. Healthy, Glendale, Day- 
ton, Ky., I-Iamilton, and the East End, and with the 
Cincinnati Club again a factor in the game, it should 
be an easy matter to arrange a series of interclub 
matches, which would do much to keep the interest 
alive. 
K 
Things loot encouraging for trapshooting in Terre 
Haute, Ind. The new house of the Terre Haute Rod 
and Gun Club will be formally opened with a tourna¬ 
ment, date of which has not yet been set. President 
John E. Cox has appointed the following committees: 
Grounds Committee—Dr. E. J. Schott, Otto Hippie- 
hauser, Albert Einecke, George A. Moorehead and B. T 
Smith. Shooting Committee—Chas. F. Louden, Judge 
Chas. M. Fortune, Leslie Hornbuckle, Samuel Brid- 
well. Dr. J. E. Elliott and J. M. Murphy. Twelve new 
members have been added to the club within the last 
month. 
n 
Teddy Doremus, Secretary, Du Pont Gun Club, has 
sent out a very nifty invitation, in which appears the 
following information: “'You and your friends are cor¬ 
dially invited to witness the race for the E. C. cup, 
which represents the inanimate target championship of 
the world, between Geo. L. Lyon, of Durham, N. C., 
holder, and Lester S. German, of Aberdeen, Md., chal¬ 
lenger, on the grounds of the Du Pont Gun Club, \\ il- 
mington, Del., May 4, and also to take part in a 100- 
target race. The E. C. cup race will start at 1:30 P.AL, 
the 100-target race at 10:30 A.M. sharp. The 100-target 
race will be made up of five 20 -target events, entrance 
|1, with an optional sweep of $1 on each event. Division 
of moneys: High gun system, one money for each five 
entries or fraction thereof. Sterling silver spoons will 
be awarded by the Lewis Class system, one spoon to 
each ten entries or fraction thereof in the 100 -target event. 
Traps open for practice shooting at 9:30 A. M. Lunch, 
at popular prices, will be served in the club house.” 
W. G. Beecroft. 
Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
Things looked very lively and old-time-like at the 
grounds on April 14, sixteen shooters taking their places 
on the firing line during the afternoon and keeping the 
trap boys busy until nearly dark. There were a number 
of visitors, among them being Les. German, Aberdeen, 
Md.; L. J. Squier, Pittsburgh, Pa.; C. A. Young, 
Springfield, O., all well-known professionals, and Ike 
Brandenburg, of Dayton, O., one of the most widely 
known amateurs of the State. 
The weather was delightful, a trifle unseasonably warm, 
but shooters and spectators enjoyed being able to. sit 
out of doors again, and made no complaint of the heat. 
The wind was variable, and at times got the boys guess¬ 
ing on the targets, but this only made the contests more 
interesting, and the good scores were all the more credit¬ 
able. German had them all beaten when the scores 
were totaled up, missing but 2 targets out of 125, and 
making a run of 53 straight. Capt. George Dameron, 
the club’s crack shot, gave him a nice race for first 
place in the first 100, finishing with 96, only 2 targets 
behind him. Charlie Young also showed that he can 
still point his old shooting-iron right, and got second 
place for the afternoon with 116. Squier and Le Compte 
tied oh 103 for third place. 
The much-advertised team match between Hammer- 
schmidt and Johnson, and Dameron and Irwin, proved 
an easy victory for the latter team, which finished with 
22 targets to the good. The teams will shoot a return 
match on the Cincinnati Gun Club’s grounds in the 
near future, and the result will not be quite so one-sided, 
for neither Hammerschmidt nor Johnson were in their 
usual form to-day. The second in the series between 
Dameron and Hammerschmidt resulted in a win for the 
former by 15 targets. This gives him 14 targets to the 
good in the two matches, the latter having won the first 
match by one target. The deciding match will be shot on 
April21, and will be a much closer contest, though Dameron 
will have the best of it in the total of the three matches. 
There was a close race between the professionals, 
German and Le Compte going up against Squier and 
Young. The latter lost the match by 4 targets. After 
the first round, the former team went to the front and 
kept there to the end. 
There was a three-cornered match between Aledico, 
Luverne (Gould) and Walker, at 25 targets, handicap 
of added targets, for a colored picture of the famous 
setter Count Gladstone. The match resulted in a tie, 
as follows: Medico (3) 25, Luverne (5) 25, Walker ( 6 ) 25. 
In the shoot-off, no handicap. Medico won with a straight 
score; Luverne 23, and Walker 19. 
The friendly rivalry between Irwin and Johnson re¬ 
sulted in a match at 25 targets, which was won by the 
latter on a score of 23 to 20. They will try conclusions 
at the next shoot. 
Luverne and J. B. C. also settled a friendly dispute 
in a match at 50 targets, the former getting the best of 
it on a score of 42 to -36. 
The afternoon’s sport was brought to an end with a 
couple of events at doubles. Out of 24 pairs, German 
scored 37, which was high; Le Compte and Squier each 
scored 31: Hammerschmidt 33. Irwin shot at 10 pairs 
and scored 9. 
The club will give the first of its monthly shoots on 
April 21, using the N. C. R. Gun Club system, which 
has given good satisfaction in Dayton and attracted a 
large number of shooters. It is hoped that the attend¬ 
ance here will prove the wisdom of the step. The club 
wants to please the shooters first, last and all the time, 
and the officers are working to that end to the best of 
tbeir ability. A sqiiad of the members will attend the 
slioot of the N. C. R. Gun Club, at Dayton, on April 27, 
and will lurn_ out in force for the Clhio State shoot, 
which is to be held there in June. Scores:

Indianapolis. Ind., April 13.—Conditions to-day were 
of the “made-to-order” sort, and the contestants were 
in such good form that 50yd. targets were made to look 
easy to the bvstander. Noteworthy scores were those of 
Parry (96) and Moller (95) in the special race for 
spoons. Each posted two straights, Edmonson one. 
Shooting for the cup in strings of 20 was under a 
fixed distance handicap the first time up, and thereafter 
one’s score in any event will indicate his distance in 
the next, except that 16vds. will be the minimum.
