All Won by Amateurs Shooting 
at Philadelphia for the 1911 tournament, to be held at 
Du Bois, Pa., next year. 
I trust all concerned in framing the program for the 
1911 tournament will take heed and produce one that 
all sportsmen can afford to attend without losing all lus- 
hard-earned cash, and not compel him to remain at 
home. These doubles caused at least a score <pf shooters 
to remain at home, silent, with anxiously beating hearts^ 
to partake in some of the joys of sportsmanship, which 
so dearly belong to them. ^ ,, 
I am sorry I cannot express the sentiment Of my 
brother shooters more fully in this cause.

Alexander vs. Kifi. 
Herbert Alexander, of Oxford, Pa., challenged P. 
S Kift, of Lock Haven, Pa., for a 20-live-bird race to 
be shot as soon as Mr. Kift puts up the coin. Mr. 
Alexander deposited $50 with Referee Hod Lutz of 
Harrisburg, Pa., for this match. Herb says it will be 
to him like eating watermelon. “It’s easier to beat 
Kift than Buckwalter.” The match is to be shot on 
the Paxtonia grounds, Harrisburg, Pa. Mr. Kift is a 
strong, keen, steady marksman, one of rare ability, and 
il.m “Mac” nredicts Philadelphia the winner. 
Buffalo Audubon Gun .Club. 
Buffalo, N. Y., May 30.—Event 10 was a distance 
handicap and was not figured in the totals. Ihere 
were ten events, the first at 15, the tenth at ^.0 and the 
remainder at 20 targets. A strong wind and heavy rain 
made shooting very difficult, but a good crowd was in 
attendance at our annual, event. Frank Wright and 
Toe Tennings tied for high average with 165 each. 
Wright won in the shoot-off by breaking 25 straight to 
Tennings’ 21. Henry Mesinger carried off . the first 
prize in the merchandise event with 25 straight from 
17yds. Glover, of London, Ont.,^was straight also, but 
Mesinger won on the shoot-off

Criticism of Program. 
Allentown, Pa.— Permit me to state a few of the 
comments brought before me concerning the Pennsyl¬ 
vania State Sportsmen’s tournament. I feel in sym¬ 
pathy with brother sportsmen of my district, which 
persuades me to bring before the shooters this broad 
sentiment. It shows that the program was solely pre¬ 
pared by and for the benefit of the Philadelphia trap-

East End Gun Club. 
Huntington, W. Va., May 28.—The East End Gun 
Club held a practice shoot on their new grounds an<1 
over one of the Merricke auto ball-bearing traps, which 
is manufactured here. The trap throws a beautiful tar¬ 
get. The weather was unfavorable and a stiff breeze was 
blowing, which affected the score. The following took 
part, with results as follows: 
shooters, considering the double-target events. \ ery 
few doubles are shot throughout the State, except at 
Philadelphia, where a long practice exists. Allentown, 
Pa., would have been represented with at least ten 
shooters had it not been for those double targets each 
day. So she had one, and he accidentally swiped the 
championship, which was never the intention. Lebanon, 
Pa., with all its grand sportsmen, was not represented 
at all, just solely on this account. The Hercules Gun 
Club had but one representative, Mr. Wertz. Bryden 
Gun Club, of Catasauqua had but one; a score of shoot¬ 
ers intended to go, but when the program arrived, 
seeing this, could not go and throw their hard-earned 
cash to these Philadelphia doubles. 
I find that my brother shooters were handicapped to 
21 yds.. who rank with a less percentage than some of 
the Philadelphia shooters, who were shooting^ from 
29vds. Who is responsible for this injustice? W T as the 
handicap committee not aware of this? We are all 
members of the Association and deserve reasonable 
treatment. 
We also note that the Florists Gun Club desired the 
1911 tournament, but now want the 1912, evidently, as 
predicted, a rake-off program. 
Worst of all, they insisted on framing the program
