Columbus Tournament. 
Columhus, O., Feb. 2.—Charlie Shell won high aver- 
age at the big midwinter shoot held by the Columbus 
Gun Club, Feb. 22 and 23. Cooper, of Thornville, got 
second amateur, and H. E. Smith got third. 
Woolfolk Henderson got second high and first pro¬ 
fessional. He couldn’t get started right the first day, 
but led them all on the second. H. K. Nolder, of 
Portsmouth, was high the first day with 143; Shell second 
and H. E. Smith third. „ , 
Of the amateurs the second day, Shell Cooper and 
Walters were high with 139 each; second, Fisher, Bohn, 
Cromly and Jim Smith, 138 each; third fell to H. H. 
Smith again. _ ^ * hm x> r* 
Of the professionals, Henderson was first, 144; K. U. 
Heikes second, 136; H. Heikes third, 127. 
As this was a handicap shoot, the scores were low. 
This was the largest shoot the Columbus Gun Club 
has ever had in the winter. Interest is sure picking up 
around Columbus. 
Owing to other clubs holding shoots on Washington s 
Birthday, our attendance would have been larger. 
Weather conditions were not of the best, hence the

scores were low. 
In the gun events, Webster won both guns with^ the 
great score of 24 out of 25 from 19yds. . Charlie Shell 
got the Stevens for high average. Besides the gun, 
there was $60 average money, making $81 in all. 
The club set aside one cent a target for average money. 
This will be the policy of the club from now on, to 
divide its profits with the shooters. In the gun events 
the amount taken out for each gun was less than they 
could be bought for at retail downtown. The custom 
has been in all merchandise events the club takes all the 
pot. In the Ithaca gun event, there was a surplus of 
$22 divided high guns. In the Stevens, there were $2S 
divided Class, so there was a nice pot besides the guns. 
The next shoot will be St. Patrick’s day, March 17; 
160 targets for the day, $10.25 entrance; 16 to 20yds. 
On this day one cent a target will be charged with no 
average money. 
Mrs. Fisher is sure getting the reputation for good 
and big dinners. Pop Heikes says he eats so much that 
he can’t shoot afterward. Pop and son blew in from 
Cleveland the second day; had to divide their time be¬ 
tween Columbus and the Lake City. 
Don’t forget the big shoot in July, when you get all 
the profits given back in average money. There was a 
small party at the traps Saturday afternoon. Webster 
was high, with Fisher a close second. 
Roundy and Cumberland got lost or kidnapped. They 
started for the club, but got side-tracked some place, 
a reward is offered for 25 straight. Who can break 
them? Scores:

Bryden Gui\ Club. 
Allentown, Pa., Feb. 26.—Excellent scores were made 
at the bi-monthly shoot of the Bryden Gun Club, of 
Catasauqua, Pa., Feb. 26. J. L. Englert broke straight 
his 50 targets shot at. There is no use trying, no one 
can beat John. 
If “Slim” had been here this would have been a 
close race. They will meet some day. 
President Brown showed excellent ability, but no

Target Practice at Home 
—in the attic or cellar, or right in your apartment if room ar- 
rangement permits—is entirely practical with a home-made 
bullet catcher and the new 
Model 25 777ar/l/l Repeater—.22 short or C. B. caps 
This is a perfect Marlin repeating rifle that shoots 15 .22 short or 18 C. B caps at one 
loading. Its take-down construction and trombone action are popular and desirable 
features; the side ejection favors rapid, accurate firing; the removable side-plate makes 
it especially easy to keep clean and serviceable. 
The C. B. caps are entirely accurate 
and satisfactory in this short range 
work, yet they are the cheapest form 
of reliable ammunition made. 
With .22 short cartridges it is very 
accurate and powerful enough for 
all small game shooting up to 50 
yards. 
The price of this excellent new model is surprisingly low—send a postal today for circular 
with large illustration and full description. Complete catalog for three stamps postage.
