[Jan. 14, 1911. 
Tri-State Live Bird Tournament. 
The fifth annual tournament for the live-bird trophy 
and championship of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, was 
held by the Northern Kentucky Gun Club on Tan. 2 and 
3, at the grounds north of Dayton, Ky. The weather was 
not favorable for shooting, and doubtless caused a much 
smaller attendance than had been expected. The birds 
were a very good lot, better than any which have been 
had for recent shoots in this section. There were few 
sitters and most of the birds were extremely strong and 
fast flyers, as can be seen by the number of “dead outs” 
which were scored. 
The committee having charge of the arrangements con¬ 
sisted of John A. Payne, Cincinnati, O.; J. V. Dea, 
Maysville, Ky.; Geo. Dameron, Bellevue, Ky.; John 
Schaeck, Covington. Ky.; Geo. Walker, Ft. Thomas, Ky.; 
C. B. Woodbury, Dayton, Ky. 
Dr. I. P. Gould, the club secretary, handled the 
financial end of the shoot. 
A fine dinner, served by Mrs. Taggart each day, was a 
feature of the shoot which all enjoyed. Another pleasing 
feature was the egg-nog, a la Payne. Those who tried it 
said it was the best ever, and it certainly improved their 
shooting. 
The local shooters turned out fairly well, but many 
well-known live-bird shots were absent. Among the out- 
of-town visitors were Jesse Young, Chicago; W. Webster, 
H. Smith and Lon Fisher, Columbus, O.; T. Clay, Aus- 
terlitz, Ky.; J. S. Day, Midland, Tex., and H. A. Woody, 
Cynthiana, Ky. The bunch from Lexington and other 
towns which had been expected, failed to materialize, 
and Indiana had no representatives, even the veteran 
Ed Voris, who won the title in 1908, failed to appear. 
Everything ran smoothly during the two days, and, 
barring the weather, the tournament was a big success. 
First Day. 
Monday, the opening day, was cold, with a strong, 
chilly wind blowing, and the sun hidden by heavy clouds, 
altogether a disagreeable day for outdoor sport, and the 
shooters stayed in the club house near the fire when not 
at the score. The attendance was fairly good and a num¬ 
ber of local shooters entered the events. There was a big 
crowd of spectators in the afternoon, more than have at¬ 
tended a shoot here in a long time. The birds were the 
best the club has had at any of its shoots during the 
past season. A very few sitters, most of them being 
strong fast flyers, and when once started off down wind, 
it took quick work and straight pointing to bring it 
down inside the boundary. If a bird escaped it had to 
run the gauntlet of a crowd of bushwhackers surrounding 
the grounds, the fusilade sounding like a regiment of 
soldiers firing at will. _ George Keifer filled the office of 
referee to the satisfaction of every one, and Dr. Shouse 
was official scorer. The handicapping committee con¬ 
sisted of T. Clay, Austerlitz, Ky.; Ed Voris, Crawfords- 
ville, Ind., and F. Alkire, Williamsport, O. The last 
two gentlemen were absent and their places were filled 
acceptably. The program consisted of the tri-State cham¬ 
pionship contest at 25 birds, handicaps 29 to 33yds. The 
first 15 birds of this event, and the last 10 birds consti¬ 
tuted events 2 and 3, entrance $10 and $5 respectively, 
divided high guns. The shooting began about 9:30 with a 
practice event at 10 birds, in which Holloday, Jr., was 
high gun with a straight score. In the championship 
event there were nineteen entries This was a close race 
between H. A. Woody, of Cynthiana, Ky., and John 
Schreck, of Covington, who were tied on 19 kills, after 
shooting at 20 birds, Schreck missing his third bird and 
Woody losing his eighth bird dead out. In the last 
five birds of the match, Schreck let two get away, and 
Woody missed one, winning the title and trophy by 23 to 
22. Holoday, Jr., was high man in the event with a score 
24, his 20th bird falling dead just over the boundary; 
but he was ineligible to win, being a professional. Dam¬ 
eron, unquestionably one of the best shots in this sec¬ 
tion, had an’off day, and withdrew after shooting at 10 
birds. Of these he had the hard luck to lose 3 dead out. 
T. Clay was also unlucky, three of his four lost birds 
were dead out, all of them barely clearing the boundary. 
In the second event Holoday, Jr., was high with a 
straight score. Second place honors were divided by 
Clay, Schreck, Woodv and McFee on 14 each. Jesse 
Young captured first in the third event with 10 straight. 
Day, Gould, Holoday, Jr., Woody and Phillips second 
with 9 each. 
The tri-State trophy has been won by C. A. Young, 
Springfield, O., in 1906; Horace Bonser, Hartwell, O., 
1907: Ed. Voris, Crawfordsville, Ind., 1908: George 
Walker, Ft. Thomas, Ky., 1909; H. A. Woody, Cynthiana, 
Kv., 1910. 
The regular events were finished in good season, and 
the balance of the afternoon was devoted to $3 miss-and- 
out events. The scores:

The sportsmen awoke on Tuesday to find the ground 
covered with six or eight inches of snow, and more com¬ 
ing. The outlook was decidedly dubious, and a notice in 
the daily papers that the shoot had been declared off 
had the effect of cutting the attendance in half, many 
of the visitors returning to their homes. Several of the 
local men also failed to show up, although the start was 
delayed until nearly noon. Only nine men shot in the 
day’s events, and there were very few spectators, the 
weather also cut down the number of bushwhackers. The 
birds were fast, and included an unusual number of white 
ones, which were extremely difficult to see in the snow. 
The handicapping committee was chosen from the shoot¬ 
ers present, and consisted of T. Clay, J. Young', Chicago, 
and J. Schreck, Covington. 
The program consisted of an event at 50 birds, two 
events at 20 birds each, and one at 10 birds, being the 
first 20 the second 20 and the last 10 of the 50-bird race 
respectively. The big event was won by Jesse Young 
with a score of 47; 2 of his lost birds were dead out; 
his 33d and 41st birds just cleared the boundary. His 
45th bird was a fast one, and escaped, apparently un¬ 
touched. John Schreck was second with 45, and of his 
5 lost birds, 4 fell dead just over the line. Walker was in 
hard luck, losing 6 birds dead out. Young captured first 
money in the second event on a straight score, with Day 
and Schreck close seconds on 19 each. In the third 
event Payne and Young divided first on 19 each; Gould, 
Schreck and Dea second with 18 each. Day and Hola¬ 
day tied for first in the fourth event on straight scores; 
Walker and Schreck second with 9 each. 
The regular events were finished about 3 o’clock, and 
five specials were pulled off, the last two being at 5 
pairs each. It was dark before the last pair was shot. 
In double shooting Young was high with 15 out of 10 
pairs; Payne and Day killed 14 each. For the day; in 
all events at 100 birds, Young was high with 88. Day 
and Payne tie:} on S6. The, scores: 
Event No. 1, 50 birds, handicaps 26 to 33yds; entrance 
$20, birds extra; three moneys, 50. 30 and 20 per cent.; 
class shooting. The , race shot in series of 10; 10 straight, 
go back 1yd for next 10; 9 out of 10, stay at same mark; 
8, or less out of 10, advance 1yd. No one to go nearer 
than 26, nor further back than 33yds..

The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., Dec. 31. —The last dav of the old year 
was very well taken care of by the Palefaces at their 
annual winter shoot, held to-day, and with the ther¬ 
mometer now nearly to the zero mark, it was a wonder 
that thirty-six shooters ventured out to do justice to a 
dandy program. 
Otherwise the weather was the most perfect of any 
that could be had, and it was peculiar, to sav the least, 
that there were not more high scores. Clarke and_ 
Burnes were the real ones with the high average for the’ 
former and the high on the 100-bird for the latter, the 95 
per cent, of Burnes being a dandy bit of shooting. 
Osborne started in like a sure winner, but an unfor¬ 
tunate event or two played havoc with him. and after 
vainly struggling to keep the lead, had to see it go to 
Clarke, who always kept at it no matter what the result 
was. 
Tn the program Hank Stevens nosed out on top after a 
see-saw battle, but did not quite catch Doctor. Scores:

Scranton Gun Club. 
Scranton, Pa., Jan 3.— The Scranton Rod and Gun 
Club held a shoot on their Lincoln Heights grounds 
Jan. 2, but on account of rain the attendance was light.
