ICO, a mighty good score, and shows up well for the 
success of the United States team. I am sure a notice

Ohio State Shoot. 
The twenty-sixth annual tournament of the Ohio 
State Trapshooters’ League v/as held under the auspices 
of the N. C. R. Gun Club at Dayton, O., on June 4 to 
7, the regular program beginning on the 5th. The 
weather during the entire shoot was perfect, and every 
minute of the time was enjoyed by the visitors. Over 
60,000 targets were thrown, and every arrangement for 
the comfort or convenience of the visitors which Sec¬ 
retary MacCandless could think of, was carried out. 
The office was in charge of L. J. Squier, cashier. 
W. R. Chamiberlain (Roundy), of Columbus, was 
compiler of scores, being assisted in these duties by 
R. Davies and Bert Call; the former a prominent figure 
in Cincinnati shooting circles a few years ago and 
recently elected secretary of that club. 
Trap No. 1.—Referee, G. M. Wilson; scorers, H. D. 
Kenny and H. Schaefer; puller, W. Finfrock; trap¬ 
per, L. P. Stengel. 
Trap No. 2.—Referee, L. R. Brewer; scorers, H. 
Cain- and A. Cooper; puller, C. Charles; Trapper, T. 
Larke. 
Trap No. 3.—Referee, Frank Oswald; Scorers, C. G. 
Wells and J. Mann; puller, R. McCabe; trapper, D'. C. 
Davidson. Substitue or relief man, T. Welch. 
The troubles of the shooters who were after the 
“just right” were attended to by Messrs. Roy Updike 
and Clyde Beaver, and they kept everyone in good 
humor. Ross Mombeck was assistant to Secretary Mac¬ 
Candless. The whole policy of the club in arranging 
for this tournament seems to have been to see how 
much could 'oe done for its prospective guests. The 
shooters appreciate the efforts of the club’s officials and 
the welcome received. 
The attendance was good throughout the week, there 
being an average of over one hundred shooters each 
day. The value of the money-back system as an induce¬ 
ment to keep shooters in to the end was again demon¬ 
strated. 
Practice Day, June 4. 
There was a large attendance at the grounds on 
Tuesday, June 4, 72 shooters taking advantage of the 
opportunity for a little practice before starting in the 
regular program. This may be set down as a record 
practice day entrance for any tournament, barring the 
Grand American Handicap. The program was at 100 
targets—four events at 15 and two at 20 targets each— 
with the usual entrance and an optional $1 sweep. 
The weather was fine, the only drawback, from a 
shooter’s point of view, being a brisk west wind, which 
swept across the traps and made rather difficult targets. 
Everything worked smoothly during the afternoon, the 
hundred-odd spectators being treated to an exhibition 
of good shooting by several of the contestants. Rolla 
O. Heikes, being in his home town, was obliged to up¬ 
hold the honor of the Gem City, which he did by mak¬ 
ing high score of the day, 96. For a while it looked 
I'ke he might divide high place honors with Frank Foltz 
an amateur from McClure, as they were tied at the end 
of the fifth event on 78 out of 80, but in the last round 
Foltz struck a snag and finished with 95. R. \V. Clancy, 
of Chicago, finished in second place among the profes¬ 
sionals, on 94, tying with F. M. Edwards, of Columbus, 
and George Volk, of Toledo, who secured a similar place 
in the amateur ranks. Two professionals—C. A. Young 
and L. German—tied on 93. with two amateurs—H. Hirth 
and C. Coburn. It required two events for Wagner to 
get in trim; he lost nearly twice as many targets in the 
first two events as in the last four events. C. E. Doo¬ 
little, one of the Cleveland contingent, did not make so 
good a showing as on his home grounds. F. M. King 
fell down in the first event, but recovered himself for 
the balance of the program. G. H. Hassam. of the 
Boston Palefaces, was altogether out of form to-day. The 
two Donalds from Felicity shjt pretty nearly up to 
their average, doing better toward the last. J. A. Penn 
could not recover from the eflects of his bad luck in 
the first event. Geo. Volk, of Toledo, used four or five 
different guns in the six events, but it made no differ¬ 
ence, he broke them just the same. Lester German did 
not strike his gait by several targets. W. Henderson 
went out with^ a straight. The genial Tom Marshall 
kept his place in the 90 per cent, class. R. R. Dickey, 
president of the League, was followed by bad luck, and 
dropped below his average. J. R. Taylor shot an even 
gait, but it was not the fast clip we look for from him. 
Horace Heikes has been out of the shooting game so 
long that he couldn’t get back to-day-. Roundy Cham¬ 
berlain got scratched in the fifth event, but he was 
figuring the money in the office and couldn’t leave. 
His score was not up to his mark. Secretary MacCand¬ 
less managed to find time from his duties to get into a 
couple of events. Pie loves the game and has put 
m.uch time and w'ork into the preparations for this tour¬ 
nament, and was feeling too good over its success to be 
able to get down to business on the firing line. The 
program was finished soon after 5 o’clock, and a pleasant 
afternoon brought to a close. Scores:

First Day. 
Wednesday, the first day of the tournament, proved 
an ideal day for outdoor sport, the only drawback being 
a strong west wind. An even one hundred men were 
entered on the shoots, ninety-seven of them fighting it 
out to the finish. The opening event was the N. C. R. 
special at 25 targets, giving the new-comers a chance to 
get a iine on conditions before getting into the main 
fight, and at the same time to cop a little easy money, 
if they were good enougli. Three contestants tied for 
first place on 25 straight—C. A. Young, a professional; 
B. M ing, F. Foltz and George Volk, amateurs. The last 
two named are old-time partners, and have won more 
than one two-man team match. The shooting was a lit¬ 
tle late in starting, and the program was not finished 
until well along toward evening. The last event was the 
two-man team race for the Review trophy, at 25 targets 
per man. The Springfield team No. 2 (Hill and Shobe) 
v/ent out with a total of 49, but it was decided that 
they were not eligible, under the following section of the 
rules: “Members of teams must be bona fide members 
of the clubs they represent, and reside in the same 
county that the club is located in; except that shooters 
residing in adjoining counties may contest if they are 
not members of any regularly organized gun club.” 
This left the contest a tie between Frank Foltz and 
Geo. Laskey, and the Hickville No. 2 team—C. E. Max¬ 
well and G. C. Maxwell—the score being 48. When the 
event was finished it was too late to decide the tie, and 
it was postponed until the next day. In spite of the 
wind some very good scores were recorded, J. R. Taylot 
leading the bunch with 197; L. German and W. Hender¬ 
son were second high professionals with 145, and R. W. 
Clancev came next with 144. C. Coburn was high ama¬ 
teur with 146, which gave him second high made on 
this day. J. A. Markham and J. A. Smith divided third 
amateur average on 143. Squad No. 3—Hirth, Koch, 
Coburn, Cain and Clancy—made the day’s record; they 
missed only 2 targets in the first event. Coburn made 
the long run, 109, and later went out in high place. 
John Taylor had a run of 81. Scores follow:

TEAM RACE FOR REVIEW TROPHY. 
The scores made for the Review trophy, a two-man
