Indianapolis Gun Club. 
■The annual fall tournament of the Indianapolis Gun 
Club was opened on Sept. 14 at the grounds of the or¬ 
ganization west of the city. A high wind played havoc 
with good scores on the part of the marksmen, although 
the results of the leaders were exceptionally good, con¬ 
sidering the weather conditions. 
George Kanouse, of St. Paul, Ind. led a field of 
f thirty-seven amateurs with a total of 1S4 breaks out of 
a possible 200. Kanouse also carried away high win¬ 
nings and the best of the merchandise prizes. His 
closest opponent was Rugg, who registered 181 breaks 
out of _00. Parry was the remaining amateur to get in 
the 90 per cent, class, as he always does. One bad 
round put him third instead of first. 
H - Vietmeyer, of Chicago, led the professionals in 
a tic with K. Heikes, of Dayton, with one miss more 
than the leader of the amateur division. Clancy was 
third, and Young fourth high amateurs. 
In spite of the threatening weather a large crowd was 
in attendance, and an even larger one is expected to-day 
when the turney will be finished. The list of entrants 
include some of the best shooters in the country from 
| a number of States. 
Our old custodian. John Clark, had charge of grounds 
and traps, and he did it well. Flight of targets was 
erratic on account of the wind, but he kept the traps 
working fine. 
J. M. Barr cashiered the shoot, and did it well. Our 
old standby and former secretary, Bill Armstrong, 
assisted in his perfect way, and we could not get on 
without him. 
Our field captain, Col. E. IT. Tripp, looked over the 
traps and field once. Also looked over a few targets 
Gus Moller fared well in the money and shot fine.' 
Mr. Rugg shoots some. One bad round put him be¬ 
low Mr. Kanouse by three birds. 
Lieut. Stutesman, of Fort Benj. Harrison, got out late 
or the last two events, but shot as though he would 
have cleaned up had he pulled in earlier
